Niu Niu stood at the barbecue stall opposite and waited for a long time before all the skewers she ordered were grilled.
She took it directly in her hand and ran back to the food stall with a happy look on her face.
"Dad, try it, these lamb skewers are so delicious!"
"Hmm, it smells nice."
"Dad, you probably seldom eat this before, right? Eat more today and try something new!"
"Haha, Dad rarely ate food from street vendors like this before."
Du Wenli said with a somewhat dim look in his eyes.
Although these skewers do smell delicious and look tempting.
But, after all, it is a roadside stall that is not presentable.
Over the years that Du Wenli has been a boss, he has always paid more attention to his image and face, and he rarely eats food from roadside stalls like this.
Generally, people dine in some more stylish places.
Seeing that her father seemed a little sad and sensitive, Niu Niu felt a little sad.
However, she quickly smiled and said, "Dad, don't look down on the food sold at street vendors. Many local delicacies come from street vendors."
"I heard from my mother and Aunt Xiaobei that when Aunt Xiaobei went to the countryside, she used to sell cold dishes in the commune."
"Because the cold dishes she made were delicious, her business was always good. At that time, she saved a lot of money from doing this, so she was able to secretly buy the courtyard house she lives in in Beijing."
"Haha, I know about that. Your Aunt Xiaobei has indeed been very capable since she was young. Most people can't compare to her."
"Dad, we don't need to compare ourselves with Aunt Xiaobei. Everyone has their own strengths and their own way of living!"
"Haha, everyone has their own strengths. Dad doesn't even know what strengths he has anymore..."
"Dad, how can you think so little of yourself? Of course you have your strengths!"
"When you took the college entrance exam, so many other students across the country failed, but you made it, didn't you? This shows that you worked harder than many others."
"Also, you had the guts to quit your stable job and venture out to the Shenzhen Stock Exchange. This shows that you're more courageous and adventurous than many people, and that you're brave enough to start from scratch. These are all your strengths!"
"You have another very valuable quality, which many elders don't have. That is, you never favor boys over girls."
"Also, you're someone who doesn't hold grudges. When you were in trouble, no one lent you money, and that aunt secretly sold the house you bought her, but you didn't blame anyone, not even Niuniu."
"Dad, these are all your strengths. You are not useless!"
Listening to the advantages that Niu Niu listed for him, Du Wenli's eyes were filled with tears.
Perhaps in this world, only his daughter still thinks that he, a completely failed man, has some good points.
Among all his children, the one he loved the most was his daughter.
It seems that the pain was not in vain!
Du Wenli felt a sense of relief in his heart.
He reached out and shook Niuniu's hand, raised the corners of his mouth and said with emotion: "Niuniu, thank you for thinking of Dad like this and comforting Dad like this."
"Having a caring daughter like you is the greatest blessing in my life."
"Dad, we are biological father and daughter, and we are meant to be family for life! Niuniu really doesn't want to see you continue to be so depressed. Dad, Niuniu has a suggestion, do you want to hear it?"
"Oh, what's your suggestion? Tell me, Dad is listening."
"Dad, tell me first, how does this grilled lamb kebab taste?"
"Haha, it smells nice and tastes good."
"Then do you dare to set up a stall to sell this?"
"Ah, you asked dad to sell barbecue?"
"Yes! Dad, look at the barbecue stall across the street. It's still early, but there are already quite a few customers ordering barbecue there. I guess there will be more customers later."
"I heard from Mr. Fan and Aunt Xiaobei that the late-night snack stalls in Shenzhen are doing pretty good business."
"Whether you work in an office, a service industry, or a factory, whether you're a wealthy boss or just an ordinary worker, many people like to go out for a late-night snack after get off work."
"I know, Dad, you're not a very good cook, and you don't really enjoy cooking. You're not suitable for opening a restaurant or a food stall."
"But selling barbecue is much easier. Even people without cooking skills can learn it quickly. It's also low-cost and relatively flexible. It doesn't have to be seasonal; you can do it year-round."
"It's just... I need to sacrifice my pride. Dad, think about it, what do you think of doing this?"
After Niu Niu finished speaking, she stared straight into Du Wenli's eyes and asked.
She estimated that her father would most likely not be able to give up his face and would politely decline her suggestion.
But it doesn't matter. She has already been secretly thinking about how to continue to persuade him to agree.
After hearing what Niu Niu said, he thought about the good intentions of his daughter towards him.
Du Wenli felt very uncomfortable.
He never imagined that one day he would need his daughter to plan for his future.
Although his daughter's plan was too unpresentable, he really looked down on it.
But he also knew that for a man like him who had nothing, this was already a small business that he could start in a short period of time.
Other high-end careers are now out of reach for him.
They are all like castles in the air, which can only be viewed from a distance and imagined.
It is difficult to implement on the ground.
Think about it, Shen Xiaobei, this strong woman, also once set up a stall selling cold dishes. She was also able to lower her face and do such a small business that was not presentable.
His abilities have always been inferior to hers, and his career has never surpassed hers, so why not?
Du Wenli thought silently for a while, then looked at Niuniu expectantly.
He put on a faint smile and said, "Okay, Niuniu, Daddy will listen to you and do this."
"Really, Dad? You really want to do this?"
"Well, really, Dad has nothing now, what else can't I do? Dad can't always let you worry about me so much, otherwise, Dad is not worthy of being your father!"
"Dad, you are so nice, you are so great!"
"Then let's set up a barbecue stall together during this time, okay? I'll buy you a high stool so you can sit and grill. This way you don't have to stand so hard!"
"Okay, thank you Niuniu!"
The father and daughter were in a good mood after they reached an agreement on the matter.
Especially Niu Niu, she really didn't expect that her father would be so straightforward and immediately agreed to her suggestion.
It seemed that he was really ready to cheer up and really cared about her as his daughter, otherwise, he would definitely not listen to her so much.
This father-daughter dinner and barbecue was filled with the simple yet warm atmosphere of home as they ate and chatted with relish.
The next day, Niu Niu started to buy barbecue equipment with great enthusiasm.
Of course, this required Fan Shixian's services. He had a car, and he was the one who drove her to buy the things.
However, in order to take into account Du Wenli's fragile male dignity, he did not appear in front of him with Niu Niu.
