Chapter 37: Barbecue shop?

Views:

The Zhang family is considered to be a relatively outstanding family in Luocun. In the previous dynasty, it was a well-known family within a radius of hundreds of miles. Of course, the Zhang family is the most famous family of herbal medicines.

The political situation has changed in the past 100 years, and the small mountain village of Luo Village has also quietly undergone many changes. However, no matter what the political climate is, the Zhang family has always stood firm and has never been affected, except for the benefit of Zhang’s herbal medicine. In addition to the benevolence of the family, there is also the reason why several generations of the Zhang family went on to die for the country.

The ancestral home of the Zhang family is said to be Luo Village. Even within a radius of hundreds of miles, it is unique. This is an old house that has been passed down for hundreds of years. The ancestral home from north to south spans nearly 30 meters from east to west, and there are eight rooms in total. There are five courtyards, rockery fish ponds, pavilions, towers, and pavilions.

To be honest, it is not easy for this ancestral home to be so complete.

In his dream memory, Zhang Songjie never thought of selling this ancestral home even in the most difficult time. Zhang Feng later fled overseas, and the ancestral home was handed over to his younger brother Zhang Yi. In the end, he didn’t know that the nerve was at fault. , The house was sold by Zhang Ke.

This became one of the reasons Zhang Feng hated Zhang Ke and his wife the most after waking up from the dream.

Parked the car in the front yard, Zhang Feng, who was far away, could smell the scent floating from the back yard, he couldn't help but shook his head and smiled. Needless to say, it was the same set made by the second uncle.

Zhang Feng’s second uncle is also a retired soldier. He served in Xinjiang and worked as a volunteer for many years. After retiring, the most proud craft is the exquisite barbecue technique. He often tossed these gadgets at home, and Zhang Feng did not miss him. Uncle learns this.

Putting the pistol on his body, he took a few bottles of liquor from the trunk and packed them in a paper bag. Zhang Feng then locked the car and carried the bag into the door.

Although the Zhang Family Ancestral House is very large, there are not many people living in it at ordinary times, so naturally there is no energy to clean up every day, so usually only the front courtyard is occupied by people, and the rear quadruple courtyard is rarely opened, only during the holidays. It will be opened and tidy up at some time, and the rest of the time is basically idle, not even the warehouse.

Today, when I entered the door, I smelled the scent from the back yard. Zhang Feng didn’t need to guess. It must be the second uncle who was doing barbecue in the last garden of Zhang’s house. There was a set of tools that Zhang Feng used to make, including charcoal. All are readily available.

Passing through the numerous courtyards, in the largest garden behind, Zhang Feng really saw his parents and two uncles. Under a huge velvet flower tree, there were square tables and wooden chairs, a simple barbecue stand beside it, and a plate on the other side. There are marinated rabbits and pheasants, and there is already a hare roasting on the stand.

Zhang Feng smiled and greeted: "The second uncle's treasured sword is not old. The craftsmanship is not old for so many years. Not only has he not let go, but it seems to be getting better and better. I think, it is better to go to a barbecue restaurant. I can enjoy barbecue every day."

Second uncle Kong Lingjun rubbed his slender hands, smiled and said, "Isn't this just thinking about asking you for an idea."

Zhang Feng was stunned when he heard the words, and said, "Second Uncle really intends to open a barbecue restaurant?"

Uncle Kong Lingqi said: "A Feng is back? Come and sit down. I really brought wine. I also said to go out and get some wine."

Zhang Feng took out a few bottles of wine from the paper bag and placed them on the table, walked over to his father to sit down, and said, "Zhang Yi and Wenwen are going to school?"

Zhang Songjie said, "Yeah" and said: "They both have classes in the evening, and they will graduate in less than a month. What if you don't hurry up? By the way, Xiaolan has already left for Sichuan with her mother. Saying what happened to her grandma's family, the family left in a hurry, your Aunt Pei seems to be a little dissatisfied with you."

Zhang Feng’s expression was slightly stiff, and she had not explained to Yang Xiaolan face to face what happened in the past few days. She did not expect that she would return to Sichuan in a hurry. Aunt Pei is Yang Xiaolan’s mother, Pei Qi, who has always been good to Zhang Feng. It seems that the relationship between the two people has to go back to the original trajectory

Shaking his head, Zhang Feng stopped thinking about Yang Xiaolan's problems. To be honest, after having that dream, his feelings for Yang Xiaolan were really complicated. He hadn't been prepared to get back to it yet, so Yang Xiaolan left at this time. It's also the best. Perhaps it was because of this more than a year that Yang Xiaolan disappeared in the dream

Zhang Feng doesn't want to pester this matter anymore.

Kong Lingshan suddenly changed the subject and said, "A Feng, do you think it is possible to open a barbecue restaurant?"

Recalling the hot scene of barbecue in later generations, Zhang Feng couldn't help but smile: "Of course it works. If your second uncle really wants to open a barbecue restaurant, let it be as early as possible. I dare not say a lot of money, but in the future it will definitely not be worse than the big brother's business."

How Zhang Ke’s business was, the few people present were actually aware of it. If Zhang Feng said this before, no one would believe it. The two uncles would still sneer, thinking that Zhang Feng had overblown, but now they don’t. It was the same. After Zhang Feng became the chief of public security, the prestige between his family and relatives suddenly increased, and the two uncles had to seriously consider Zhang Feng's words.

Kong Lingjun was so excited that he didn't know where to put his hand, and he stammered for a while before asking: "How big is it?"

Zhang Feng pondered for a moment and said: "It's mainly your craftsmanship. Other aspects of the cost are not very big. Renting a house, tables, chairs and stools, decoration, buying materials, hiring employees, etc., if you look like this, it costs almost two in our county. Around ten thousand."

When Kong Lingjun heard the words, he was immediately discouraged: "Don't say 20,000, there is no place for 2,000 to get away, two hundred is about the same."

Zhang Songjie frowned and said, "It's too much, right? It's only 5,000 yuan for you to get married, and it costs more than 20,000 to open a barbecue restaurant?"

Zhang Feng smiled awkwardly, and said, "Of course, it's not impossible to keep it simple, but there is no secret to this thing. If the second uncle can't do it in one step, there will definitely be a lot of people imitating later. We have to compete with others."

Kong Lingjun breathed a sigh of relief and said, "How much does it cost to make it simpler?"

Zhang Feng said: "If you only set up a barbecue stall, two hundred yuan is enough."

Barbecue tools are readily available at Kong Lingjun’s family. What he asks for is only a few tables, chairs and seasonings. The ingredients can be picked up at the mutton shop every day, or even on credit. The industrial and commercial procedures are even simpler. Counting it down, it’s 200 yuan. There is more.

Kong Lingshan glared at Zhang Feng and cursed: "Is it deliberately tossing people? Twenty thousand for a while and two hundred for a while, just let your mouth talk nonsense?"

Zhang Feng smiled and said, "I don't want my second uncle to get it right in one step... Second uncle, you can do it as soon as possible. Then I will help you find some customers, and you will be able to open the barbecue restaurant soon."
