"Zizzizi~"
Ji Huai picked up the sesame oil and applied a layer on the barbecue net first to prevent it from sticking to the net during grilling. The sesame oil dripped down and immersed in the charcoal fire, making a sizzling sound.
He put his hand close to the barbecue net, measured the temperature, picked up the squid brushed with oil and placed it on the side.
"I want to eat baby cabbage, grill a few more skewers." Cheng Yunyu took the baby cabbage and was about to put it on it, but Ji Huai stopped her, "Just put it on, and it will burn after a while. Eating it is not good for your health."
Cheng Yunyu had no experience at all and was afraid of wasting ingredients, so he just brushed two chicken feet with oil and put them on the side to flip.
Ji Huai brought a few bunches of baby cabbage and waited for a while before slowly putting them on, turning them quickly and adding some sesame oil from time to time. Soon, the baby cabbage was roasted until it became soft, with a shiny surface and an attractive aroma, without burning at all.
"It's almost done." He said, taking the sauce on the side, quickly smearing it a few times, then cooking it for a while, sprinkling some cumin, and then put the skewers of vegetables in a bowl , handed it to Cheng Yunyu.
"Is it ripe?" She couldn't help but swallow as she smelled the fragrance.
Ji Huai: "Well, try it."
She picked up a bunch and ate a small slice. The baby cabbage was crispy and sweet, and the thick and delicious vegetable juice mixed with it stimulated her taste buds. She bit off one piece and it was just right salty and sweet. She quickly ate two more pieces and handed the other bunch to Ji Huai: "You can eat one too." The skewers are delicious, much better than the barbecue stalls outside."
"Is that okay? We are going to set up a stall in a few days." Ji Huai also took a bunch and was flipping through the squid, chicken feet and duck feet on the shelf with his other hand.
The squid was almost cooked. He brushed it with sauce, flipped it on the net, and then took the cumin powder on the side.
"Add some chili powder to this." Cheng Yunyu said.
"Okay." After the squid was grilled, he sprinkled some chili powder and put it on her plate, "The squid you like."
"You're so kind." The little girl smiled with joy on her baby face. She picked up a bunch of squid and fed it to his mouth. Ji Huai didn't open his mouth, but raised his hand and tried to wipe the sticky squid for her. Sauce in your mouth.
"Boo~" She leaned forward and kissed his thin lips.
"The mouth is full of oil." He frowned.
"You actually dislike me." She snorted softly, then leaned over and kissed his handsome face again, still smiling stupidly, as if she was very satisfied with her current life, and had temporarily forgotten the unpleasantness that happened during the day.
"Well, I dislike you." Ji Huai said this, but he didn't raise his hands to wipe his face. His thin lips curved up and he continued to flip the meat on the barbecue grill.
The meat was gradually grilled until it was brown in color and fragrant. Ji Huai continued grilling the skewers, occasionally brushing them with a layer of sauce, and then continued to grill them.
"It smells so good." Cheng Yunyu sat next to him, holding a bowl in her hand and smelling the aroma of meat. She kept staring at the barbecue grill with greed in her eyes.
Ji Huai picked up two skewers of chicken feet, took a look at them, sprinkled them with cumin powder and chili powder, and put them in her bowl: "Eat it."
Cheng Yunyu pursed her pink lips, picked up a bunch and bit it lightly.
The chicken feet are grilled until they are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The skin is golden in color, and the outermost layer is brushed with a layer of mellow sauce. After one bite, it is crisp and chewy, salty and slightly spicy.
"It's so delicious!" She thought it was really delicious.
Ji Huai also held a bunch of chicken feet in one hand and was grilling them with the other hand. He accepted all her praises and even boasted: "This sauce is the soul. When the time comes, I will use it to set up a stall, and the business will definitely be good." "
Cheng Yunyu didn't dare to be so confident before, but now he just nodded and handed him a few skewers of squid: "Chef Ji, I want to eat this."
"Okay." His brows arched a lot, very satisfied with this title.
Cheng Yunyu slowly rested his head on Ji Huai's shoulder, watching the charcoal fire flickering, and the air was filled with a fragrant fragrance.
It's late at night and the temperature has dropped, but it's very warm next to the barbecue grill, the kind of warmth that can penetrate deep into the heart.
Ji Huai handed the baked skewers to her and said, "Although the skewers are more delicious, we will definitely be very busy at that time. If we don't cook them, they will be burnt, and it will take a long time. I have to teach you how to fry the skewers tomorrow. .”
"What if it doesn't explode?" She turned her head and looked at him.
"Do you still want to be the boss lady of fried skewers?" He asked her with a smile.
"...Hmm~~"
The two looked at each other and smiled, and she put her hands around his arms again, leaned against him, and continued chatting with him.
The charcoal fire in the simple barbecue grill gradually dimmed, the fire temperature gradually dropped, and there were fewer and fewer skewers placed on the barbecue net. Although the grilling was very slow, the food was more flavorful.
During the days when the business was closed, Ji Huai and Cheng Yunyu were tinkering at home. He taught her step by step how to fry the skewers and paired them with several kinds of sauces. She was so proud every time that she ate them up.
After studying for a few days, she really started to look good.
The quality inspection department naturally found no problems with the samples taken from the past, and the oden couple's samples were also fine. However, there were deterioration problems in several types of skewers sold by the other party, but the situation was not serious.
Small roadside stalls are difficult to control. Even if they are found, they don't have a business license, and the punishment is very light. However, after Ji Huai reminded them, the law enforcement officers paid special attention to another thing.
Is there really a problem with this anonymous report, or is it malicious competition among peers
Liang Dong and his wife were called over for interrogation. They were originally tough-talking, but after being angrily scolded by law enforcement officers, they confessed obediently. The anonymous report this time was indeed made by them, and the method was obtained from the Internet. They had no evidence, and it was obstructing law enforcement. Since the circumstances were not serious, he was fined and educated, and he was released.
The two of them fought several times at home and lost face in front of the school. How could they do business in the future
They only stayed calm for two days and couldn't bear it anymore. It was too easy to make money before, and I have developed a lazy temperament. Now I feel that even if I make dozens of dollars a day, it is better than making nothing at all.
The two asked two old men at home to hang out, and shamelessly rode scooters to the school gate. As soon as I arrived at the school gate, I saw the white tricycle there.
The two sides had maintained harmony in the past. The anonymous report was discovered and they were educated. Ji Huai naturally knew about it, but now they were completely broken. Chen Juan was sullen and did not give the two people opposite him a good look.
She thought that Ji Huai had also been sampled and investigated, which would definitely affect the business. They would not have a good time, and they would not want to have a good time together. After all, they had made a lot of money before, but they were better than the other party.
"They want to sell fried skewers?" Liang Dong looked at the things on the opposite side and had a bad feeling in his heart.
Chen Juan also looked over and saw a small iron pot with a lot of skewers placed in front of where Cheng Yunyu was standing. Ji Huai continued to cook rice noodles. She was so angry that her lungs exploded and she said furiously: "This is obviously a robbery." Our business!”
The other party used to sell rice noodles, but she could sell skewers, which some students loved to eat. Now the other party also sells skewers, clearly trying to block their way.
"We have been selling it for so long, and they just made it. How can it taste good? You have to take away the business!" Liang Dong disdainfully said. Chen Juan had been an apprentice for half a year before he taught her these ingredients.
In his opinion, the hot noodles they bought were mixed with some oden sauce, which was definitely not very tasty, so Ji Huai took away the business, but the skewers were different. They had been selling them for so long and had many repeat customers. , besides, after the last wave of troubles, Ji Huai's business is not much better!
"Ling ring ring~~"
The bell rang for the end of get out of class and students began to walk towards the door.
Ji Huai just resumed setting up a stall yesterday, and business is indeed not as good as before. The fact that he can still set up a stall shows that the test and investigation results are fine, but many parents and students also have concerns.
As soon as Cheng Yunyu lifted up the small bucket of oil, Ji Huai asked her to wait for a while and not to pour it out yet.
Students came out one after another, and some students went to their stall. Some wanted to buy fried skewers, and some came to buy rice noodles. Many students who had eaten fried skewers yesterday came again.
A matriarch also came to Ji Huai's stall. She was selecting vegetables with a small basket. She selected several skewers here and there, and asked her to pack two portions of soy sauce beef rice noodles.
When the matriarch handed the small basket with the skewers to Cheng Yunyu, she saw the test report hanging next to it and took a look at it: "You still made this thing? You didn't even look at it carefully yesterday."
"You must always be responsible for the students." Ji Huai added soup to the small pot and took the trouble to assure him, "All the ingredients have been sent for testing and there are no problems."
He knew that an inspection by the quality inspection department would affect his business, and how to get parents and students to trust him again was a difficult problem, so he made this test report at his own expense, printed three copies and hung them in front of the tricycle.
Cheng Yunyu also picked up a small bucket of oil. "This bucket of oil is unopened. I just bought it today. The oil in our stall is changed once a day and will not be used twice." After saying this, she turned away. Put the lid on and pour the oil into the small pot. "Because you just poured it in, you have to wait for the temperature of the oil to rise. It may take a while."
This suggestion was made by Ji Huai. They just started setting up a stall again yesterday, and the business is going well. Although a small barrel of oil costs dozens of yuan, which is very expensive. He also said that he would change it every day and would rather earn less. Gaining the trust of parents and students is more important than anything else. .
In doing business, the most valuable thing is reputation!
The matriarch couldn't understand the test report. She didn't come to pick up the child that day, and she didn't know what the investigation was. Yesterday she came to taste it and thought it tasted good, so she came again. She frowned when she saw the two people's actions. Relaxed: "A rare conscientious seller, your food tastes really good."
The oil was indeed unopened, and it was from a big brand, she thought, feeling that she had made a profit, how could other small vendors do this? Impulsively, she selected several more strings.
Vegetarian dishes cost 50 cents per skewer, and meat is usually 5 to 2 yuan per piece, so the price is not expensive.
When the students and parents saw this, they looked at it with admiration. Some of them observed it not far away for a long time before they came over and bought some. The aroma of their sauce is really tempting and makes people want to eat it.
Cheng Yunyu started frying skewers yesterday, and her movements were relatively unfamiliar, but she became very proficient today. She put the vegetarian dishes into the pot, flipped them over and over with chopsticks, and fried the hard-to-cook parts for a few more seconds.
Their packaging is also very careful. If you want to keep the bamboo sticks, put them in a paper bag. The bag still has their exclusive pattern printed on it. If you want to remove the bamboo sticks, put it in a paper box and cover it. OK, put it in the bag. The paper box is of good quality and has their exclusive pattern printed on it.
Both of them have very good attitudes, which makes people feel full of ceremony.
The stall's business can't be said to be booming, and it's definitely not as good as before, but the Oden couple is much worse off than them. No matter how bad the business was before, they could still sell more than a hundred skewers. Now, after waiting for two hours, they sold three skewers. It's equivalent to no business.
Chen Juan looked at the people in front of Ji Huai's stall, her face twisted with jealousy. She originally thought that the students had gone to class and the two of them would have no business. However, she did not expect that people nearby saw a barbecue and smelled the aroma and drove over.
Ji Huai also bought a barbecue grill and had just lit a fire to burn charcoal. At this time, the temperature was just right, and many people sat down and waited to eat the barbecue.
Meat needs to be grilled slowly to make it fragrant, but many students like to eat deep-fried, which is faster and don’t want to wait. However, nearby residents like to eat barbecue. The meat on the skewers is marinated and grilled. It's very tasty when grilled.
"Ten more chicken feet."
"Do you have any more chicken wings? Five more skewers, plus five skewers of enoki mushrooms and cabbage."
"Five skewers of spicy beef and four skewers of grilled squid."
…
After the students finished school, the small stall was bustling for a while. Cheng Yunyu was still sighing because he sold less than fifty portions of rice noodles today, which was only a little more than yesterday.
She didn't expect that the rice noodles could not be sold, but the barbecue became popular. The five tables were full of people, and many people came and had no place, so they had to pack up and go back.
Most of the skewers on the stall were sold, and all the meat left on the car was taken off and displayed. She was frying skewers, while Ji Huai was cooking rice noodles and grilling, flipping the grill from time to time.
After twelve o'clock, there were still many people at the small stall, and all the dishes had been ordered.
The customer looked at their clean countertops and then read the test report. He was surprised. It was the first time he saw such a "serious" stall. When he heard that the oil was changed every day, his favorable impression increased.
The Oden couple came here for a long time, but they didn't sell a total of ten skewers, and their faces were dark. They didn't expect the students to be so disrespectful. There were so many students, but few people bought them.
Ji Huai's first day as a stall was actually not ideal. In addition to the cost of barbecue, he actually earned less than 150 yuan, which was a loss of more than half for them.
After remediation, the profit on the second day was much better, and it was at least two hundred.
They would not give up any publicity opportunity. Ji Huai also went to the Internet to find someone to design a poster. The cute poster was posted in the most conspicuous position of the tricycle.
The ingredients are tested and passed, Sanhe brand GMO-free oil is replaced every day, delicious and healthy...
Moreover, they are here now. When they arrive at the school gate, school is just over. At this time, parents and students who want to buy snacks will come around, and they start to set up a stall. Every day, they pour a small bucket of unopened oil on the spot in full view of everyone. enter.
Because roadside stalls are cheap, everyone's tolerance is constantly decreasing. This wave of operations is indeed attractive. Most parents who prevent their children from eating fried skewers are mainly afraid that the oil inside is not clean. If they use the same oil as at home, don't mention too much. not worried.
In the beginning, deep-fried skewers were not very profitable. Oil was expensive and the cost suddenly shot up. Gradually, the business got better and better.
I could sell 200 skewers a day, then 300 skewers, and then 500 skewers...
The rice noodle business is picking up again, and Ji Huai is busy non-stop. Originally there were only five tables, but now they are completely insufficient. The stall becomes more lively after students are out of school.
The old man who came to buy rice noodles lived nearby. On the other side of the street, their family also opened a convenience store. Ji Huai gave him 300 yuan a month and rented the space under the stairs of their house to store it. There were fifteen tables. After ten o'clock in the evening, he would carry the tables and place them in front of the stall.
The fifteen tables are full every night. They were originally prepared for customers who live nearby. As a result, students did not leave after school, and many of them had supper here. The small stall was so popular that after eleven o'clock, students returned Go home or go back to the dormitory, and then the table will be free.
The two of them gradually became overwhelmed, so they asked an aunt to help clean up and serve the dishes.
As for the Oden Cooking couple, they have been here for several days, selling a few skewers a day and earning one or two yuan. Now they feel how good it was when they made dozens of skewers a day, and they regret it.
Liang Dong was jealous and ran to Ji Huai's stall to cause trouble that day, cursing and looking fiercely.
"You think I've never been involved in society? I'm telling you, I go to school just for fun!" Ji Huai looked at him with a cold face and sharp eyes, a bit provocative, "Let's have a try."
"If you don't make me feel better, don't even think about it..."
"I'll fucking beat you to death today." Before Liang Dong could finish his words, Ji Huai's temper suddenly hit him. The spoon in his hand hit the table with a loud noise. He took off his mask and took off his hat. , making a gesture to rush towards Liang Dong. Judging from the gesture, he wanted to beat the person half to death before stopping.
Before he could even take two steps, Liang Dong was so frightened that he peed his pants and ran away.
Cheng Yunyu, who was about to break up the fight: "..."
Chen Juan was still waiting for Liang Dong to give her some words. She watched helplessly as Liang Dong, who was escaping, tripped his right leg with his left leg and fell hard not far away. Her face was also filled with shame. She was embarrassed and was thrown into an alien planet. Looking at Ji Huai's appearance, he didn't dare to say anything and ran away in despair.
