Chapter 107: Logistics
By noon, there were even more people, including people from other places and people from the county. I had never seen so many people on the streets except during the Chinese New Year!
It was as if the whole city had come.
Many people were happy just by looking at the people, not to mention going to the stalls to buy things to liven up the atmosphere.
But at the barbecue stall, there was no time to look at the people. Everyone was too busy to turn around.
"I want ten skewers of meat. One grilled leek, a handful of garlic sprouts, two eggplants, a handful of prawns, and three bottles of soda."
Shen Xiu helped record, her voice hoarse: "Can't you have cold soda?"
"Can."
"Okay, wait a moment. Where do you want to sit? I'll bring it to you after it's baked." Shen Xiu said.
"There's no place to sit, so my friends and I will eat standing up."
"Um."
Shen Qingyue disappeared again.
She went to Xiao Liu at the recycling station.
"Where is the 4,000 kilograms of meat I prepared earlier?" Before I came, there was only half a freezer full of so much meat, and it would definitely not be sold out by evening.
Xiao Liu looked at Shen Qingyue and said, "I saved it for you." He had been busy all morning. "If I hadn't been guarding this meat, it would have been snatched away by someone else."
No one was mentally prepared for the first barbecue festival.
I didn't know it sold so quickly.
A lot of it had to be found at short notice. They had prepared some extra items before, but they had already been bought.
Shen Qingyue said, "That's very kind. Please put the meat in the car."
Shen Qingyue pulled back four thousand kilograms of meat and went straight back to the corner gate of the steel plant via a small path.
There's no way around it. The main roads are full of people. If we walk on the main roads, cars won't be able to pass.
The meat was carried directly to the large kitchen in the back kitchen, where Shen Qingyue cut the meat with a knife, removing the tendons, shanks, and shanks.
Then cut the meat into small pieces and cut them into slices.
Shen Qingyue asked Aunt Dahua, who had been wearing the big flower dress all morning, to take people outside.
Exchange the thirty-man mobile team led by the village chief for the skewers of meat.
Otherwise, most people really can't stand wearing such a mechanized thing for a whole day.
They sat there working all morning, and when they stood up they were all staggering, their legs and feet numb.
When thirty people came over, Shen Qingyue found ten aunties who could cook to help prepare lunch.
There are only two hundred people in the village.
There are seventy helpers in total. These two hundred and seventy people haven't eaten yet.
It was hot, so we made the simplest noodle soup. The aunts kneaded the dough. Shen Qingyue used the best beef she had just bought to stir-fry the sauce, and the sauce alone filled two large pots.
Four bags of 50 kg of pure white flour were opened, totaling 200 kg of flour to make
The aunties in the village are all frugal. Not to mention outside, even at home, they can't afford to eat such a big bowl of noodles made with pure white flour.
These days I can afford to eat white flour, but I’m used to being frugal and can’t bear to eat it like this.
"You can eat some whole grains if you want." But that would save half.
Shen Qingyue said: "Let's use white flour."
These aunts are all good at making dough.
Working all year round and having great strength, the dough they knead is chewy and strong. After making the dough, cut it into noodles and sprinkle some flour on them to prevent them from sticking.
Once the water boils, add the noodles. The noodles are cooked in less than two minutes in a large pot of boiling water.
Remove from the heat and rinse with cold water. Once completely cool, pour a large bowl of beef sauce over it and add some shredded cucumber. It smells delicious.
Give it to the people who are skewering the meat first. They are in the kitchen.
These people were already hungry after working all morning.
Eat the cool hand-rolled noodles, and the beef in the sauce is in big chunks.
A bowl of cucumber is about 6 taels of noodles.
I loved eating something cold that day. Noodles were so easy to eat, and the women could have two bowls. The village chief and the other men would happily eat three bowls to satisfy their cravings!
After they finished eating, Shen Qingyue asked someone to bring the noodles out.
The boss's delivery tray can hold ten bowls of noodles. If ten people go out to deliver, that means they can deliver a hundred bowls at a time.
The kitchen is still cooking.
After going out, people saw it and felt hungry and wanted to buy it.
This little bit of noodles is very refreshing.
Just one bowl is not enough.
The kitchen sent over 300 bowls of noodles. That was enough. In the end, even the cucumbers for the topping were gone. They were replaced with shredded green onions, which everyone seemed to like better.
After dinner, Shen Qingyue bought three hundred towels, cooled them with water, and gave them to everyone. They were useful for wiping sweat and refreshing themselves.
The remaining thirty were given to the eighteen stalls in the inner field. The towels were not expensive.
What is rare is to get this ray of coolness,
Shen Qingyue went to a place selling sweet soup and bought five bowls of mung bean soup, one for each of her elder sister, Shen Xiu, Shen Pandi, and Jiang Yu.
Shen Qingyue also took a few sips. It was cool and sweet and quite delicious.
Jiang Yu saw Shen Qingyue and said, "Thank you, Sister Yue." The little girl loved to drink sugar water. She had never found the time to buy it, but she didn't expect Shen Qingyue to buy it for them.
"You must be very busy!" Shen Qingyue asked.
"Yeah." Jiang Yu was cheerful and cheerful: "For the first time, I feel like money is not money."
I never thought people in the county were so rich. They spend money without blinking an eye.
Shen Qingyue said, "It won't be so busy this afternoon. There will be a performance later. You can go watch it and take a stroll. There are also stalls selling tapes, fortune-telling, rope weaving, and sugar figurine painting outside."
"Yeah." Jiang Yu nodded heavily. She was already yearning for it when Shen Qingyue said that.
Shen Qingyue said, "Call Shen Xiu and Shen Pandi to go together. Your kids will like it."
"Okay." Jiang Yu said, "We'll go around and come back."
Shen Xiu and Shen Pandi refused to go and insisted on helping here. Shen Qingyue said, "The meat is almost roasted. The new meat hasn't been skewered yet. It's not so busy now, go ahead."
After Shen Qingyue said this, the little girls went out hand in hand.
The eldest sister saw Shen Qingyue sending the little girls away. She said, "You are still a child, why don't you go out and take a walk with them!"
Shen Qingyue smiled: "I'm not a child at heart. I have different hobbies from them."
The elder sister was curious after hearing this: "What's your hobby?"
"I love counting money." I was poor for too long and had so much scarcity before. Only counting money could make me feel full of happiness.
The eldest sister said, "Then you have something to do." Then she pointed and said, "Here, four sacks of money. You can count them to your heart's content."
Shen Qingyue understood and asked, and found out that these skewers were almost roasted.
Shen Qingyue said to the barbecue chefs, "After grilling these, it's time to pack up! There's still some meat left. We'll skewer it together later. There's strength in numbers. Let's do it again tonight."
