We prepared a lot of meat today, so we took about ten plates and covered them all with plastic bags. This is to make it easier for everyone to eat here. After use, we'll remove the plastic bags and replace them with new ones, so we don't have to wash the plates.
The charcoal grill was ready quickly. Today, they'd only be grilling beef and lamb skewers. If business was good, Qiao Xiaoni planned to add a few more items, like chicken wings, chicken hearts, and chicken heads, which would taste even better grilled.
Su Chenhao glanced at his watch; it was already four in the afternoon. In about half an hour, the streets would become more crowded.
I put a bunch of meat skewers on it to grill, and soon the aroma of the meat filled the air.
Qiao Xiaoni glanced around; there was a convenience store diagonally opposite. She could sell barbecue there once the cart was ready, as long as no one bothered her.
If someone is in charge, you can move it forward a little more.
Soon, the streets gradually filled up with people, and those who had bought barbecue yesterday came looking for it by the smell.
They opened for business quickly, and a meat skewer was only one cent. Everyone thought it was a good deal, so they all took out their money to buy some to try.
Soon the baking speed couldn't keep up with the buying speed, and people started lining up.
Qiao Xiaoni maintained order on the side, and her wallet quickly bulged. This business was really too good to be true.
Gu Anyi emerged from his friend's house looking disheveled. He was originally going to take another route, but then he caught a whiff of meaty aroma. Following the scent, he found himself at the intersection and saw a long line of people. He joined the crowd and, seeing some people successfully buy meat skewers, couldn't help but swallow hard.
Thinking that he only had five yuan left in his pocket, he frowned, wondering whether he should spend it or not.
Because his father was seriously ill, the family shop had not been open for business for many days, and this was his last bit of money.
While he hesitated, the people in front of him left one after another.
Su Chenhao looked up and saw a stunned boy: "Do you want it spicy or not? My family's chili powder is quite spicy."
Gu Anyi, having not eaten meat for many days, swallowed hard and asked, "How much is a skewer?"
"One cent a skewer, buy 20 skewers and get one free, how many do you want to buy?" Su Chenhao asked, his hands still busy flipping the meat skewers. He hadn't expected business to be so good; in less than an hour, he'd already sold more than half. He wondered if he should go back and have Momo use magic to make some more meat skewers.
"I want 20 skewers, with lots of chili powder." Gu Anyi regretted it as soon as he said it; he only had five yuan left in his pocket. This cost him two yuan, which was his food money for the next few days. Just as he was about to refuse, a large bunch of meat skewers was handed to him, and he had no choice but to bite the bullet and pay.
The people behind him were urging him on, so he had to move aside to make room, staring at the meat skewers in his hand. A gust of wind blew by, wafting a fragrant aroma; he really wanted to take a bite.
But thinking about things at home, I just couldn't eat.
"Why aren't you eating?" Qiao Xiaoni asked him, finding it strange.
"I...can I..." Gu Anyi had never done anything so embarrassing before and didn't know how to explain it to the other party.
"My meat skewers are delicious, you'll know once you try them," Qiao Xiaoni said with a smile, then continued collecting money.
Gu Anyi swallowed back the words she was about to say, took a bite of the meat skewer, and her eyes lit up – it was just too delicious.
He was only a 16-year-old boy after all, and he quickly finished a large handful of meat skewers, one bite after another.
