The wait for food was so boring that everyone chatted while eating sunflower seeds and cabbage.

"Hey boss, this shredded cabbage is really delicious, can I have another serving?"

"I'm sorry, this shredded cabbage is complimentary, one serving per table."

"This stuff is so delicious, and you only give us one bite? What can we possibly eat? We can always buy more, okay?"

"I'm sorry, this cabbage is pure organic cabbage bought from another place. It's expensive and there's not much of it, so we won't be cooking it for now."

"Isn't it because everyone has always been very supportive of Fatty's BBQ?"

"So we specially purchased a batch of high-quality cabbages to give back to everyone and let them try them for free."

"It will still be given away for free when you come next time."

"What organic cabbage? How expensive could it be?"

"The cost price of a cabbage is thirty yuan, not including shipping and other expenses."

"..."

Besides this table, guests at other tables asked the same question.

That night, just answering this question exhausted the landlady and the waitresses.

On the second and third days, Zhang Jianguo discovered...

Wow! You know what, just because of this complimentary shredded cabbage appetizer, there are definitely more people coming to eat barbecue than before.

The tables and chairs in the shop were completely full.

Even so, people kept coming over, wanting to get a number and wait in line.

That's outrageous...

Moreover, ever since Zhang Jiang pinned the positive review praising the delicious shredded cabbage to the top of his feed, even the restaurant's takeout business has improved.

Some people ordered less, while others ordered more.

But every customer who placed an order left a note: "Remember to give us complimentary shredded cabbage as an appetizer!"

Because of the cabbage, the lamb, pork belly, and various vegetables that came into their store were sold out by 11 p.m.

In the past, they would not close their stall until 2 a.m.

After closing the door, Xu Lei spoke immediately.

"We must buy the cabbages from that shop."

"Not only should we buy, we should buy more!"

"If you buy it online, it will take another day to arrive."

"Okay, Dajiang, tomorrow you drive our minivan to Qingshui Village and bring back a whole truckload of cabbages."

“…” Zhang Jiang.

A truckload of cabbages? Seriously?

The other dishes were delicious too!

"Mom, what do you need so many cabbages for? You can't be thinking of reselling them, can you?"

After all, when his mother first quoted the customer, she quoted thirty yuan per piece.

"No way! Our business is so booming now, all thanks to those cabbages."

"I have no reason to buy a batch and resell it without informing the other party."

"If I were to casually take the cabbages I worked so hard to buy and resell them, do you think our business would still be as booming as it is today?"

"Selling cabbages might earn you ten yuan at most, but if you bring customers into the store, they can spend much more than selling cabbages."

"How could I not understand this?"

"I just think this cabbage is really good, it's always a good idea to buy more and stock up."

"Anyway, cabbage can be stored. If all else fails, I can just put in some effort to make kimchi or cabbage kimchi, right?"

"If we can all taste how good this is, why can't others?"

After Xu Lei finished speaking, Zhang Jianguo, who was sitting there eating watermelon, immediately nodded and said, "My wife is right."

"My wife has good judgment and a good head on her shoulders."

"Dajiang, just do whatever your mother says."

“There’s no need to buy a whole truckload of cabbages, is there? If you really have to make the trip, you can buy some other vegetables too,” Zhang Jiang said.

"Of course!"

"Anyway, you just go and make the trip. Buy whatever you think is best, but remember to buy plenty of cabbage. Just buy a little bit of the rest."

"As for the budget, I'll give you a little more. If you get hungry or thirsty on the way, don't hold back."

"Okay, my mom is the best to me!"

After saying that, Zhang Jiang winked at his father with a hint of smugness.

Hey, he has pocket money now.

His father didn't.

Hehehe.

“~~~” Zhang Jianguo.

I really don't understand. It's just sending this stupid son out on a trip. What's so exciting and smug about it?

Why is it so energetic?

If he likes to go out and run errands, then we might as well just assign him all the work of hauling goods and delivering food.

With his silly son not around, he can still shamelessly cuddle and hug his wife.

Thinking of all this, Zhang Jianguo smiled at Zhang Jiang.

“???” Zhang Jiang.

What, did his mom secretly give his dad pocket money too?

??????

Not only Zhang Jiang's family is eating appetizing shredded cabbage.

At Lin Anshu's house, Ninth Master also used the large cabbage he dug up to make a large plate of appetizing shredded cabbage.

This is the second time he has done it.

Because everyone loved it the first time we made it.

A few days ago, before Lin Anyu and the others returned to school, Ninth Master made some appetizers like shredded cabbage.

They found four more glass jars, packed the prepared shredded cabbage into four portions, and told them to take them to school to eat.

Besides shredded cabbage, there are also steamed buns of various flavors, pan-fried dumplings enough for one meal, and guokui (a type of flatbread).

In addition, there's Ninth Master's stir-fried mushroom sauce and his newly developed chili meat sauce.

Considering how hard they had worked for her these past few days, packing and moving things, and tutoring Lin Anyu in his studies, she decided to give them a break.

Lin Anshu also packed each of them a small jar of tea.
