Qibao smiled and said, "Everyone, help yourself!"
After receiving Qibao's instructions, everyone began to grill the meat slices like Qibao did. Soon the whole box was filled with the aroma of barbecue, mixed with the aroma of cumin.
They rarely had access to meat before, and perhaps some of them had never eaten meat before. None of them were afraid of the heat. As long as the meat was cooked, they would put it in their mouths. They would inhale because it was so hot and were reluctant to spit it out, with a look of satisfaction on their faces.
Xier's grandfather said, "Sir, this is the first time I've eaten barbecue like this! I've only seen others eat it in front of barbecue restaurants before. Today, thanks to you, I can also eat such delicious food."
Qibao said, "Old man, you don't have to watch others eat anymore. If you want to eat, we will cook for you occasionally."
"Hey! You don't have to call me old man anymore. My real name is Zheng Laifu. Just call me by my name."
Qibao said, "That won't work. How about we all just call you Uncle Fu from now on?"
"Since you think highly of me and are willing to address me in this way, it is a blessing for me." Uncle Fu said with a smile.
Qibao said, "Uncle Fu, your good fortune is yet to come! Xier will be filial to you in the future." After that, he called the waiter to serve a bowl of shaved ice to each of them, which made them very happy.
Ermao said, "Sir, this ice is not only beautiful but also delicious. It has a sour and sweet taste. It makes me feel very comfortable all over."
Qibao smiled and said, "Eat less, or your stomach will feel uncomfortable."
"Yes, I understand, sir."
Uncle Fu said, "Sir, this ice must be expensive, right? I never thought I could eat ice in the summer. I'm so lucky!"
Qibao said, "This ice is made every day at home. Everyone in our family eats a bowl every day to cool down, so you will be able to eat it often in the future."
"Hehe, sir, your family is so nice. I want to leave right away." Ermao said.
"We'll set off tomorrow. It's only half an hour's journey." Qibao said.
Several children felt that today's meal was the best one they had ever had, and they were eating so much that their mouths were drooling.
Qibao noticed a child named Gouzi. He didn't say a word the whole time. He laughed when everyone else laughed, but he never stopped waving his chopsticks. He was the only one who ate the most among all the people.
Qibao said, "Gouzi, eat slowly. Eating too fast is bad for your stomach."
"Hehe, sir, I get it. I just eat fast. I'm used to it." Gou Zi said.
"Sir, Gou Zi is like this. I remember the first time I met him, he was so hungry that he had fainted. I begged others for a long time before I got him a bowl of rice porridge, and he saved his life. So he never wastes food. Even if it falls on the ground, he will pick it up, blow on it and eat it." Xiao Fei said.
Qibao actually felt a little sympathy for them. Although he didn't know whether they were abandoned or lost, they all looked like pitiful people.
After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, Qibao paid the money and then prepared to lead everyone out. Manager Zhang accompanied them all the way to the door before stopping.
On the way, Ermao asked, "Sir, isn't this barbecue restaurant your own? Why are you still paying for it?"
Qibao said, "This is the rule. Just because we own the shop doesn't mean we don't have to pay. At the very least, we can't let the waiters and chefs work in vain. Only by paying them can we get a reward for their hard work."
Ermao nodded, not quite understanding.
Qibao led a group of people in, sat down and said, "Since you are already my people, the names you are called now need to be changed. Do you have any objections?"
Everyone shook their heads and said, "We have no objection. Please give us a name, sir."
Qibao thought for a moment and said, "Then let's start your names with 'Yue'. Chunwa will be called Yueyang, Xiaofei will be called Yuexiao, Ermao will be called Yuexuan, Ajie will be called Yuelang, Shuanzi will be called Yuefeng, Dawang will be called Yuelan, Tieniu will be called Yuexuan, and Gouzi will be called Yuehao! Do you like these names?"
"Wow! The name you gave us is so nice, sir. I like the name Yuexuan so much!" Ermao said happily.
"Master, what about us?" Qiu Ya asked impatiently. Master hadn't named the four girls yet!
Qibao said, "Don't worry. You are girls, so of course you should give them nicer names. From now on, Qiuya will be called Yuebing, Xier will be called Yuexue, Manman will be called Yuejiao, and Yingying will be called Yuewu!"
"My name is Yuejiao! I have a name now, and I like it!" Her little round face looked especially cute when she smiled.
When Qibao saw her, he wanted to pinch her face, but in order to maintain his gentlemanly demeanor, he rubbed his hands, picked up the fan and started waving it.
Manman said, "Sir, are you hot? Let me fan you!"
She folded her Qibao fan and said, "No need. From now on, just call each other by your current names. Don't call each other by your previous names."
"Yes, sir!" The twelve people answered in unison. They were very happy with the names the sir had chosen for them. They were much better than their previous names, and they had also met people with the same name as them.
Qibao said, "Okay, after you take a shower, go back to your rooms and rest. We'll get up early tomorrow and head back to Xu Village!"
"Okay!" The little ones jumped and skipped towards the backyard, intending to boil a pot of hot water for a bath. Uncle Fu was a little worried, so he limped and followed them to the kitchen.
Not long after, Yueyang knocked on Qibao's door and said, "Sir, the hot water is ready, and we've brought the bathtub."
