Chapter 104 Official Opening

Zhu Yingqiu put down the potatoes in the pot and pulled her mother-in-law out of the kitchen.

Don't let her in again.

Seeing my daughter-in-law is so filial.

Zhang Jinlan felt very happy.

"Fubao, is it hot? The sun is getting hotter and hotter. I don't know what it will be like in July. I'll change you into some light clothes tomorrow. Look, you're sweating even sitting under the tree. When the mung bean soup is ready, I'll serve you a bowl."

Zhang Jinlan took out a linen handkerchief from her waist.

Wiping the sweat off my granddaughter.

"Grandma, this is the face washcloth we used in the past..."

Jiang Fubao looked at the handkerchief and felt that it looked very familiar. It was black and had two holes in it. The familiar pain when it was rubbed on her face instantly brought back memories.

"Yes, it would be a shame to throw it away, so grandma used it as a sweat towel."

Zhang Jinlan never expected her granddaughter to be so smart.

I recognized it at first sight.

She felt a little guilty.

She had promised her granddaughter that she would throw away the washcloth.

"Grandma, when I have money, I will buy you a softer handkerchief."

Jiang Fubao looked at Zhang Jinlan seriously and said.

"Mom, is the plaque hung up? Is the mung bean soup ready? When are we going to set off the firecrackers? My eldest brother has already bought the firecrackers and is hanging them in front of the shop."

Next second.

Jiang Eryong trotted over from the front of the shop.

There was some excitement in his voice.

After all, today is the first day the shop officially opens.

"It's not ready yet. Wait another quarter of an hour. It needs to cool down after it's cooked. Ask your father and the others to come sit in the backyard. Ask Siyin to stand at the door of the shop and watch over the firecrackers to make sure no one steals them."

Zhang Jinlan turned her head and said to her second son.

"I'll just watch, let Siyin come over."

Jiang Eryong volunteered to show his bravery.

"No, just let your brother watch."

Zhang Jinlan had her own plans. Her youngest son was handsome and would surely attract many guests if he stood at the door.

Like a living signboard.

The second son was different.

He is a big and strong man. He has been eating well recently and has become much stronger. If you don’t know him, you would think he is a thug hired by the shop.

Don't scare away the guests.

Unfortunately, Jiang Fubao couldn't hear his grandmother's voice.

Otherwise she would have laughed out loud.

"All right."

Jiang Eryong didn't know what his mother was thinking.

I thought his mother was worried that he was tired.

I was deeply moved.

What a clever misunderstanding.

"Pingmei, are the pebbles cooked? If they are, have Eryong bring them to the front and put the grilled sausages on them to start grilling."

Since there was no iron grid or iron pan for baking, the pebbles had to be placed in a ceramic basin, leaving a gap with firewood underneath.

Because there was a gap, the firewood was placed downwards.

So it won’t die.

This is the solution Jiang Shoujia came up with.

Even Jiang Fubao had to praise that Grandpa was really smart.

"Hiss, it's burned."

Sun Pingmei touched the pebbles and cried out in pain from the burns.

She kept breathing in and out, pinching her earlobe with her right hand, grimacing in pain.

"Hey, you idiot, why are you touching it? You can tell if it's hot if you put your hand close to it. Eryong, get a basin of water and let Pingmei soak her hands. Otherwise, she will get blisters and suffer."

Zhang Jinlan clapped her hands in fear.

She was so angry that she didn't know what to say.

Jiang Eryong's face was also filled with anxiety and distress.

"Hey, mom, I'm fine."

Sun Pingmei grinned and smiled foolishly.

Jiang Eryong glared at her and hurried to fetch some water.

The icy river water soothed Sun Pingmei's hands and the freshly cooked mung bean soup.

A small episode that won't cause any waves.

At early noon, the hottest time of the day, Jiang's Snack Shop opened.

“Crackle, crackle—”

The sound of firecrackers rang out in the delicious alley of Baishi Street.

It was lunch time and the place was bustling with people.

Many people were attracted by the sound of firecrackers.

After Zhang Jinlan finished shouting, only a few people came.

Everyone went to restaurants or bars to eat, and no one wanted to eat these snacks.

After the two tables of people in the shop left.

It became deserted.

Zhang Jinlan simply asked her eldest son to buy some steamed buns for lunch.

Because someone was needed to look after the shop, the person shouting became Jiang Eryong.

As for Jiang Fubao, she didn't like eating baked cakes, so she grabbed a freshly baked sausage and sat outside the shop to eat it in small bites.

It was grandma who asked her to sit over here.

Because the weather was too hot, the pottery basins were brought to the front of the shop, making the shop hot as well, for fear that the customers would sweat profusely from the heat.

I could only carry the pottery basin back to the yard.

On the left side of the shop, Jiang Siyin was standing upright.

Like a doorman.

The clothes he wore today had the fewest patches of all his clothes.

Wash it thoroughly.

The fair face formed a sharp contrast with the dark-skinned men on the street.

A very handsome man.

A pile of black shit like cow dung.

Jiang Fubao watched silently.

Who said there were no nymphomaniacs in ancient times?

Look, every woman passing by, from the old to the young, which one doesn’t stare at Daddy?

Several other gazes were directed at her.

Oh no.

It was the grilled sausage in her hand.

The aroma wafted through the door of the shop.

Several people sniffed.

I want to smell it more clearly.

"Little girl, what is that in your hand?"

A plump woman walked up to Jiang Fubao, bent down, and asked with a kind smile.

Next to her was a girl about five or six years old. She looked timid and shrank beside the woman, not daring to raise her head.

"Auntie, this is grilled sausage. It's sold in my grandma's shop. It's really delicious! It's full of meat. Wow, it smells so good when you take a bite! Does this sister want to eat some? There aren't many left. I'm afraid it will be gone today after it's sold out."

Jiang Fubao deliberately took a small bite.

Smacking his lips loudly.

The little girl was about to cry.

"Mother~"

The little girl grabbed the woman's arm and dangled her back and forth.

"Okay, I'll buy it for you, little girl. It's the shop behind you, right? Yep, Jiang's Snack Shop. This is the first time I've heard of it. There are firecrackers on the ground. Is it a new shop? Come on, Yan'er, I'll take you inside to have a look."

Just now, my daughter was clamoring to eat something from the little girl's hand.

She had no choice but to ask shamelessly.

Who made her get married for more than ten years before giving birth to this only daughter?

Naturally, it is pampered in the palm of your hand.

Whatever you want, I'll give you.

"Please come in, sir. What would you like to eat? We have grilled sausages, green bean soup and baby potatoes in our shop."

The person who greeted the guests was still Jiang Eryong.

Zhang Jinlan was eating in the backyard.

I'll replace him later.

"Let's grill sausages. My daughter saw the little girl sitting at the door eating delicious food. She was also very greedy. Yan'er, can I buy you one? Do you want to eat something else?"

The woman lowered her head and asked her daughter.

"No~"

The little girl named Yan'er shook her head.

Her voice was very soft.

Like a mosquito buzzing.

"Okay, sir, one grilled sausage, right? Twenty cents." Jiang Eryong said with a smile.

At the snack bar, you pay first and eat later.

When the woman heard the price, she was not surprised at all and took out her purse to pay.

It doesn't look like he's short of money.
