Chapter 284 BBQ Opening
The next day, because of the warm-up from the previous day, many people went straight to the cold drink shop after class. Having a cup of cool drink instantly suppressed the heat in their hearts.
A sharp-eyed customer had already noticed a new menu posted on the wall on the other side, and immediately asked, "Boss, do you have barbecue here?"
Jiang Xinbai replied without even looking up, "Yes, it's available tonight. If you are free, come and take care of the business. If you spend more than ten yuan today, you will get a bottle of beer for free. You can choose iced or room temperature beer."
"Oh, you really give it away! A bottle of beer costs 80 or 90 cents, boss, you are really generous. If I spend 20 yuan, will you give me two bottles for free?"
"Free, one bottle for every 10 yuan spent, just order as much as you want!" Jiang Xinbai was eager for them to spend more! She only sold a bottle of beer for 45 cents, which she earned back from the skewers.
"Okay, then I'll come even if I don't eat tonight."
"Thank you for your care. Here, this is your mung bean popsicle. Take care!"
After the busy lunch, the people in the store can take a break.
Zhang Meimei wiped the sweat from her forehead and said to Jiang Xinbai, "Jiang Jie, I'll go back to school first. I have a class at 2:30. I'll come after class."
"Okay, go ahead, don't be late."
After Zhang Meimei left, Yang Jiazhen asked quietly, "Aunt, Meimei doesn't work all day?"
"I'm still in school, it's just a part-time job, so it's your turn to string the strings later."
Jiang Xinbai smiled and pointed to the kitchen. Fortunately, the kitchen space was left larger when it was renovated, and a curtain was used in the middle to block it, so that the guests outside could not see people working in the kitchen.
"Okay, let's get to work now! We're not tired." Yang Jiazhen said as she walked towards the kitchen.
Jiang Xinbai also walked in and pointed, "Look, they are all over there, sit down and eat."
Because I went home early last night, the marinated chicken wings and other things in the refrigerator were not skewered yet, so I have to skewer them now.
"Aunt, how do I string these chicken wings together? How many do I put on a string?" Yang Jiazhen asked Jiang Xinbai while holding a skewer in one hand and a chicken wing in the other.
Jiang Xinbai estimated the length of the chicken wing tip and replied, "You can string them vertically like this, four in a string, using a long skewer. And this chicken wing, I cut one in half, you can string it horizontally with two skewers, four in a string, and two in total. And this pork belly, use a shorter skewer like this, alternating the fat and lean parts, so it tastes better."
"Oh, okay, I get it."
Seeing that they all knew, Jiang Xinbai started to make garlic sauce. First, peel the garlic and chop it into small pieces, then slowly fry it in oil, turn off the heat when the garlic aroma comes out, and finally add sugar and soy sauce and mix them evenly.
As the fragrance wafted out, the two sisters Yang Jiazhen stood directly behind Jiang Xinbai, poked their heads out and asked, "Aunt, what is this? It smells so good!"
"Garlic sauce! It's used when grilling oysters and scallops tonight. It smells really good. I'll give you some to try when your uncle starts grilling."
Jiang Xinbai looked at the basin full of garlic sauce with a smug look on her face. This was what she knew from her dream. There were garlic scallops, garlic oysters, and garlic vermicelli shrimps, and so many more. She wanted to have them all.
"Hmm, it smells good, Auntie, I want to try this sauce now, okay?" Yang Jiazhen couldn't help it. The smell was so tempting that she wanted to taste it right away.
Jiang Xinbai looked at her helplessly, and had no choice but to take two spoons and hand them to them, "Here, each of you scoop a little and taste it. It's very salty. Be careful not to let your saliva drip into it."
"Yeah, no." Yang Jiazhen took the spoon and scooped a little into her mouth. Her eyes immediately lit up. She pushed Yang Lili and said, "Lili, try it quickly. It's delicious. I can't wait to try what the scallops baked with this taste like."
Yang Lili was pushed and scooped a little into her mouth, smiling and saying, "It smells so good, auntie, you are really amazing."
"Well, this thing is easy to make, and people will learn it in the future, just for the sake of novelty. But we can also use this sauce to eat steamed buns, it's very delicious, your uncle likes to eat it this way."
"Yeah, I was just thinking whether it would be delicious with steamed buns!"
They worked as they talked, and by the time they had finished all the preparations, it was already five in the afternoon, and more and more people were gathering on the street.
Yang Jinsheng lit the stove early, put the grill on it, and immediately placed a dozen scallops on it, topped each with a little soaked vermicelli, then scooped a spoonful of garlic sauce from the side and put it on top. Slowly, the fragrance spread, attracting a middle-aged man who was passing by to come over here.
"Wow, what's that smell? It smells so good." The middle-aged man came up to Yang Jinsheng with a bag on his shoulder. When he saw the scallops on the grill, he hesitated and asked, "Is this the scallop from the sea?"
Yang Jinsheng raised his head and replied with a smile: "Yes, it's scallops and oysters. They are all roasted with my family's exclusive secret sauce. They are very fragrant. Oysters are a great tonic for us middle-aged men!" Yang Jinsheng winked at the middle-aged man as he spoke.
"Oh, now that you mention it, I really want to try a few. How much is this?" The middle-aged man's mouth was watering as he smelled the increasingly strong garlic aroma.
"Garlic grilled scallops and oysters are 20 cents each. We have other specialties in our store. There is a menu on each table. You can go and have a look. Also, today we will give a bottle of beer to every table that spends 10 yuan. It's only available for three days, so hurry up!"
As Yang Jinsheng was talking, the grilled scallops were already cooked. He casually took a plate from his side, quickly put four scallops on it and handed it to Yang Jiazhen who had been waiting for a long time. "Take it in and share it. The customers will be served soon. Hurry up!"
Yang Jiazhen's eyes were glued to the scallops, and she didn't hear what her uncle said. She just walked straight in with the plate.
"Hey, um..." The middle-aged man became anxious as he watched Yang Jiazhen take the scallops away.
Yang Jinsheng picked up another vermicelli scallop and put it on the plate, handed it to the middle-aged man and said, "You are my first customer today. Here, I will give you one to try first. If you like it, buy it. This is the only one."
The middle-aged man was stuffed with a plate. After hearing what Yang Jinsheng said, his eyes narrowed with smiles. He gave Yang Jinsheng a thumbs up and whispered, "Boss, you are so generous. OK, I'll just have a bite here. Where do I order?"
"Okay, I definitely won't let you down, Xiaobai, let's order." Yang Jinsheng turned around and shouted inside.
After hearing her husband's shout, Jiang Xinbai immediately wiped her mouth and responded, "Okay, okay, I'll be right there."
As soon as she stepped out of the door, she saw a middle-aged man sitting at the table next to her husband, eating scallops with chopsticks. So she smiled and asked, "Hello, what do you want to order? This is our menu, take a look first."
The middle-aged man finished the whole scallop in one gulp, and even drank the soup in the shell.
"Ha, delicious, really fragrant, but it's just a little unsatisfying. Um, give me fifty of these garlic scallops, oh, no, twenty garlic scallops, and thirty garlic oysters. You said you'd give me a bottle of beer for every ten dollars I spend, right? It's exactly ten dollars, give me a bottle of beer, and make sure it's cold."
Jiang Xinbai: “…” You want so much at once, can you finish it?
