Chapter 270 Chapter 270 Hot
8 p.m.
He Junxia walked around outside the university gate and found the busiest stall, right next to the intersection.
The intersection is directly opposite the university gate, with Minyuan and Zhiyuan student dormitories on both sides. There is a huge flow of people at night, and many people set up stalls.
However, most of the stalls sell snacks such as fruits, braised pork rolls, egg burgers, grilled starch sausages, and homemade drinks. If you want to eat barbecue, you have to go around the stalls and go to the shops further inside.
He Junxia had no intention of competing with the barbecue stalls for business. With the limited funds he had, he could only afford a small stall. So, he only planned to sell one ingredient: charcoal-grilled lamb skewers.
After experiencing too many mission worlds, my college life has long become blurred, but I still remember my favorite kebab restaurant.
Setting up a stall near a university means you never have to worry about lack of customers as long as business is good. Even if eating something gives you diarrhea, there are still those with strong appetites who bravely frequent the stall, even blaming their diarrhea on a weak stomach.
Of course, this is an exaggeration, but it also indirectly shows college students' love for food.
He Junxia didn't dare to say how unique and excellent his barbecue skills were, but after training in several mission worlds, he could definitely surpass most people.
To ensure everything goes well, He Junxia also spent 300 points to buy a "Basic Barbecue Manual" from the Space-Time Mall.
Once we have accumulated a certain amount of liquid funds in the later stage, we can gradually expand the barbecue category and make it bigger and stronger, and repay Zhang Le for his kindness in taking in the volunteers.
The next morning
He Junxia first went to the frozen food market to buy a bag of red willow branch lamb skewers, and then went to the wholesale market to buy a full set of seasonings, smokeless charcoal, simple barbecue grill and other necessities.
He also bought a flashlight for lighting.
You can’t sell barbecue at night without lights.
Even good wine needs no bush.
…
"Grilled lamb kebabs, red willow branch lamb kebabs."
"Five yuan a bunch, twenty yuan for five bunches. Don't miss it if you're passing by."
"Classmate, would you like some lamb kebabs?"
He Junxia warmly greeted every student who passed by, but most of her attention was still on the sizzling lamb skewers.
The white mutton fat glowed golden in the flashlight, making it even more tempting than mutton.
Soon students were attracted.
The girl in the yellow and white JK skirt walked up and took a look, then turned to ask her companion next to her: "I want to eat it, do you want one?"
My companion was a slightly plump girl in a white T-shirt. She was holding a box of octopus balls and shook her head. "I don't like lamb."
The girl took a sip of milk tea and said, "Boss, I want one. Where can I scan the code?"
He Junxia pointed to the payment code on the table and asked, "Do you want it spicy? Should I take it away or eat it directly?"
The girl said decisively: "Less spicy, just eat it." The cold mutton skewers have a very strong fishy smell, and it would be a disaster if they are not eaten while hot.
He Junxia quickly sprinkled the seasoning on it, took out a tissue, held the end of the red willow branch, and handed the perfectly cooked lamb skewers to the girl.
"Hiss, it's a little hot."
The girl took the mutton skewers and couldn't wait to bite into them. She was reluctant to let go even though she was burned. After a while, she bit into two pieces of meat, one fat and one thin.
The fat is a bit greasy, with a hint of lamb but not fishy, while the lean meat is a bit dry and just the right amount of spicy. Chewing the two together just alleviates their respective shortcomings, and the fragrance is so delicious that it makes your mouth water.
"Hey, it's really delicious, why don't you try it."
It would be an exaggeration to say that it is a delicacy that is unique in the world, but in the eyes of girls, it is already considered to be above average.
She enthusiastically recommended the lamb skewers in her hand to her companions, and kept calling out that they were delicious, which made her companions a little tempted.
Is it really that delicious?
My companion asked, "Isn't it fishy? I really hate the smell of mutton."
The girl swallowed the mutton in her mouth and said, "It's still a little fishy, after all, it's mutton. But it's delicious. You should try it. This piece of fat and lean meat are eaten together. It's fat but not greasy, and lean but not dry. It's amazing."
My companion shook his head: "I'll just try the thin one."
She lowered her head and took a small bite of the mutton on the red willow branch from the girl's hand. The seasoning had already suppressed the fishy smell of the mutton by 70% to 80%. The remaining fishy smell was still tolerable, but the meat was a little tough.
But overall it's still delicious.
“It’s actually okay.”
The girl said proudly: "You eat the fat and the lean together, it tastes much better than the one I bought before. Their son's cooking skills are not good."
The companion nodded heavily.
Although the mutton skewers in that store were made with fresh mutton, the cooking was a little lacking. She didn't want to eat them after trying one bite.
Freshness is valuable, but health is more valuable. If you only care about taste, you can throw away both.
If they really cared about technology and hard work, they wouldn't come to eat street food. Putting aside other aspects, the exhaust gas alone is quite a lot.
However, this new mutton kebab stall looks pretty good and clean. They use Xinxinxiang tissue paper. The boss is wearing a transparent mask on his face. Maybe he is a college student who comes here to set up a stall part-time.
The slightly plump girl ate the remaining mutton and felt what her friend said: fat but not greasy, lean but not dry, the two perfectly neutralized each other's shortcomings.
"It's really delicious. I'll buy two more."
"Okay, I'll go buy a box of watermelon over there and come find you later."
The plump girl, who loved the delicious food, returned to the place where the grilled lamb skewers were, but found that the stall was full of people. She immediately regretted it.
So annoying, so annoying, so annoying
It's so hot, she hates queuing!
The girl kept complaining in her heart, but her steps still unconsciously moved closer to the kebab shop. The kebabs in this shop were indeed delicious.
"Everyone, please don't push forward. Be careful and be careful of fire."
"Come in order, don't rush."
He Junxia quickly flipped the lamb skewers on the grill and sprinkled seasonings on them according to the tastes of different customers. The sound of funds being deposited could be heard from time to time.
"Boss, I want a skewer of lamb."
"Sorry, classmate, we are sold out today."
Those who arrived later left disappointed and finally turned to the cart in front to buy a red bean cake.
He Junxia took off her transparent mask and even took out several tissues to wipe away the beads of sweat on her forehead. Her entire face was flushed red from the heat.
The ice water that He Junxia bought before setting up the stall had melted into hot water. He Junxia wanted to drink something icy to cool down, but turned around and found that the beaten lemonade at the stall next door was eight yuan a cup.
He Junxia shut up silently.
He put all the tools into the cart, walked about a hundred meters east, found Bingcheng Mixue and ordered a glass of lemonade.
The slightly sweet and sour iced lemon water soothed the summer heat very well, but a fierce quarrel was heard not far away.
The customers waiting for milk tea in the store and the tired clerks making milk tea in the store suddenly perked up and stood on tiptoe to look outside.
"What's wrong? What's wrong?"
"I don't know."
"It seems like a fight has broken out over there."
Not only were the people in the store curious and surprised, but the pedestrians and snack stall owners outside the store also looked around.
A few brave and curious people rushed over to watch the excitement up close, which made others also eager to try something.
"Forget it, don't go. Be careful not to get hurt by mistake."
“Curiosity killed the cat.”
Rational people still make up the majority, otherwise if you watch the fun, you will end up in trouble.
Amidst the chatter of the crowd, the source and cause of the fight were finally revealed.
"It seems like a man accidentally stepped on someone else's foot, and then the other person started cursing, and a fight broke out between the two."
"You're really hot-tempered."
"Did anyone call the police?"
"I've reported it, here comes the police car."
Because the fight happened in front of the university, the police arrived quickly and subdued the two fighters in a short while.
The onlookers dispersed, and He Junxia also left with only half of the lemonade left.
Zhang Le's home is not far from the university. He Junxia walked slowly on the road and calculated today's income. All ninety lamb skewers were sold, with a total income of 405.
If this momentum continues, it will be just around the corner before I can upgrade my business. After a few days when I have enough money, I can add baked naan to my business.
He used to like to buy two lamb skewers and a piece of toasted naan, and eat them together with the lamb skewers.
"Say it to me again."
"Fuck you—"
"Are you looking for death?"
"Who the hell are you, ****? If you keep pretending in front of me, I'll kill you. Come on."
"Forget it, forget it."
"Stop arguing, let's go..."
"Bang!"
The beer bottle turned into broken glass.
This time it wasn't just two people fighting, but two groups of people making a commotion. Seeing this, the other customers in the store got up and left.
You can’t watch the fun now. If you’re not careful, you’ll get hurt accidentally and won’t even have a place to cry.
He Junxia glanced at him and quickened his pace to leave.
Times have changed, and his mindset is no longer the same as before. For people like him who don't know what the law is after drinking a little, the best solution is to let them fight to the point of mutual destruction, as long as no innocent people are implicated.
If you win the fight, you will go to jail for a while. If you lose, you will have to lie in the hospital bed to avoid harming others.
"Bang!" "Bang!"
There was a continuous sound of beer bottles breaking and chairs hitting the ground, as well as all kinds of obscene language that was extremely vulgar.
As we turned the corner onto a main road, a police car drove towards us with its lights flashing, but it didn't turn and went straight.
It seems that summer nights are quite restless.
He Junxia threw away the empty milk tea cup and returned to her residence. The lights were on, and Zhang Le was playing with his mobile phone at home. The ceiling fan hanging from the ceiling was blowing hot air.
"Gengzi, how's your business going?"
“They’re all sold out.”
"Sure, after I tasted that lamb kebab, I knew you would be fine."
Zhang Le sat up excitedly and went forward to help He Junxia pull the cart full of things to the utility room and put it away.
He pointed to the midnight snack on the table and said, "Hey, braised duck wings, crayfish, and kelp and bean curd sheets. They're pretty spicy. I'll open another beer."
"Just finish it. It won't taste good tomorrow."
He Junxia was indeed a little hungry.
He went to the kitchen to wash his hands, scooped up a large bowl of rice and started eating with the braised food on the table. He didn't hesitate to be polite with Zhang Le, and ate up all the remaining braised food with rice and beer.
Zhang Le was lying on the sofa watching short videos. He turned on the speaker mode so He Junxia could hear the sound.
"Today, two vendors in H City were arguing over a stall. One of them picked up a fruit-cutting knife..."
