Chapter 51 Buying barbecue ingredients and grilling oysters

She didn't know that the person on the other end of the phone stared at the phone screen for half an hour after hanging up.

Tian Sen came up with two large bags of daily necessities. Seeing Leng Ziyue staring at his phone in a daze, his face was full of confusion. "Is there something wrong with my phone? Or did you answer some girl's call for me?"

He was just joking, but he didn't expect Leng Ziyue to turn his head and look at him deeply, which scared him so much that he choked on his saliva.

"No, you didn't really answer the girl's call for me!" Tian Sen rushed over and snatched the phone. He looked at the call records and found that the latest number was an unremarked number. "Who is it?"

Leng Ziyue was too lazy to pay attention to him and replied casually: "Zhang Wanwan said she is not free tomorrow morning, so she will make an appointment for tomorrow afternoon."

"Oh wait! You said this is the phone number of the top student? Then I have to save it quickly." Tian Sen was so happy that he happily added Zhang Wanwan to the phone number. Leng Ziyue didn't explain anything and just let him laugh foolishly.

The next morning, Zhang Wanwan got up at 5:30 on purpose. The sky in October no longer gets bright as early as before. The sky was still hazy at 5:30, and the morning breeze was cool. As soon as she walked out of the room, her mother, who had already woken up, rushed her back to the room and insisted that she change into long-sleeved shirts and long pants before letting her out.

When Zhang Wanwan was washing up, her mother cruelly woke up Zhang Baiyan from his sleep and asked him to accompany Zhang Wanwan to go shopping.

Zhang Baiyan wanted to cry but had no tears. He had a rare short vacation and was being abused like this. He wanted to die.

The brother and sister had a simple breakfast and went out. It was just a little after six o'clock, and the wholesale market would not open until seven o'clock at the earliest.

Zhang Wanwan simply took Zhang Baiyan to the park for a run, and after Zhang Baiyan felt energetic, the two rode their bicycles to the wholesale market.

The wholesale market was extremely busy early in the morning, with merchants coming and going to buy goods and delivery trucks.

The two of them went to the stores they frequently visited. Because of their long-term cooperation with the Zhang family, the bosses also knew her. As soon as she entered the door, the bosses took the initiative to greet her without her having to say anything, and even asked them to make tea.

Zhang Baiyan politely declined, and the two of them asked the boss to weigh the items according to the list and then left.

After buying the spices, you also have to go to the farmer's market to buy raw chicken wings and various meats, as well as some vegetables commonly used for barbecue.

He didn't buy much of each item, but the variety was so diverse that when he went back, there was no space on Zhang Baiyan's bicycle except for a seat. Zhang Wanwan was worried for him when she saw him swaying from side to side on his bicycle.

"Little sister, you have to tell me now whether we should go home or go to the warehouse. It's not so easy to get these things upstairs, and we want to have a barbecue. If we do it at home, what if someone calls the police in case of a fire?" Zhang Baiyan asked breathlessly.

Zhang Wanwan hesitated for a while and nodded, "Then let's go to the warehouse and mix the barbecue sauce there. It just so happens that you are going to buy a barbecue grill later, so we can try it right away."

Zhang Baiyan rode his bike towards the warehouse without thinking. He just wanted to unload the stuff in the cart. Zhang Wanwan went to Century Square before him to ask Zhang's father for the key to the warehouse.

The two of them didn't enter the warehouse until after nine o'clock. They hadn't been here for a long time. They found that there were two or three stainless steel shelves in the warehouse. The things on them were arranged neatly and orderly. It was obviously Zhang's mother's style. It was also because of these shelves that the warehouse looked a lot more spacious and could even hold a tea party with four people at a table.

Zhang Wanwan sighed and immediately went to prepare the sauce, while Zhang Baiyan had to deal with the ingredients. There was a vegetable washing sink built by Zhang's father in the warehouse, as well as all kinds of pots, pans, and other supplies, which would not delay their efforts at all.

Soon Zhang Baiyan washed the ingredients, and Zhang Wanwan had just made a small bowl of chopped garlic and onion. She was almost crying from chopping green onions. Zhang Baiyan couldn't bear it, so he came over to help her chop peppers. Fortunately, cumin, pepper salt and other things were ready-made and they didn't need to process them anymore, which made Zhang Wanwan breathe a sigh of relief.

Even though there aren't many seasonings, if you include oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and other ingredients, it will fill more than a dozen stainless steel basins.

Zhang Baiyan's head hurt when he saw all these various things. "Now tell me how to do it? Where should we start?"

Zhang Wanwan knew several common spices used in barbecue when she ate barbecue in her previous life, but she was not sure about the proportions. However, she knew the specific recipe of the grilled oyster sauce, and the grilled oyster sauce could also be used to cook enoki mushrooms. So she had to let Zhang Boyan light the charcoal first to try the taste of the grilled oysters.

Pu City is a coastal city, but the city center is still some distance away from the beach. The fastest drive from here to the beach takes at least 40 minutes. However, there is no shortage of seafood, especially many people on the beach raise oysters, so that when the oyster season comes, the oysters here are as cheap as free, only a little over one yuan per catty. If you go to the coast to buy them, you will only pay 80 cents per catty. In addition, grilled oysters were not popular in Pu City in the early 2000s, at least Zhang Wanwan had never seen them before. It was not until she came back from summer vacation when she went to college that she found that grilled oysters appeared in the streets like mushrooms after rain. Now the introduction of grilled oysters will surely make their barbecue stall popular.

While Zhang Baiyan was busy, Zhang Wanwan had almost prepared the sauce and then poured hot oil on it to bring out the aroma of the sauce.

After preparing the sauce for the oysters, she turned around and started working on the barbecue sauce.

The two men worked as fiercely as tigers in the warehouse, but it was hard for the residents living nearby. They all smelled the rich barbecue aroma that day. They opened the windows and peeked in, but they couldn't figure out which house the smell was coming from. They could only complain at home, saying that so-and-so's barbecue was not authentic.

Before grilling the oysters, Zhang Baiyan had no confidence at all, especially because they smelled particularly fishy, which made him nervous. But he didn't expect that after adding the sauce and grilling them, they smelled so delicious that he almost drooled. Before the grilled oysters cooled down, he couldn't wait to pick up an oyster and stuff it into his mouth.

His piercing eyes suddenly widened, and he nodded at Zhang Wanwan with his thumb raised high. After swallowing the hot food in his mouth, Zhang Baiyan became excited, "Little sister, this thing will definitely sell well once it is launched. Even if we don't sell barbecue, we can just sell this. It will definitely be a hit!"

Zhang Baiyan is not a foodie, so he will definitely like most of the things that he likes so much.

Zhang Wanwan smiled at him and said, "If you like, I'll give you all of them. I heard that oysters can also enhance sexual performance, but I don't know if it's true or not."

Zhang Baiyan was almost choked to death by the oysters. He coughed twice and glared at Zhang Wanwan fiercely, "How do you, a little kid, know so much?"

After he finished speaking, he felt embarrassed and suddenly slowed down his eating of oysters. As a result, when Zhang Wanwan turned her head and looked back, the plate of grilled oysters was almost empty.
