Jin Suting was wearing an apron and her face was sweating from the barbecue smoke.
Qin'er was fanning her. The charcoal fire was very hot and both of them felt a little hot.
When Jin Suting ate barbecue in the past, it was always grilled by others. This was her first time grilling, and she didn’t have professional protective gloves, so her hands couldn’t bear the heat.
But his hands were not idle either. He grilled leeks, cabbage, and a few skewers of beef together, and silently wondered in his heart why he hadn't realized before that barbecue was so difficult.
Tan Er took out a handkerchief to wipe her sweat and said, "Miss, no one comes to buy our barbecue."
Jin Suting said: "We have just started. Once we create a good smell, people will definitely come~"
In fact, she was not very confident, after all, it was her first time doing business.
Xiao Hei came back from the bun shop opposite with a bun in his mouth and a few more in his hands, "Sister, have breakfast."
Jin Suting: "You guys eat first."
"Qin'er, you should go too."
Tan Er refused: "Miss, I'm not hungry. I'll eat with you later."
Jin Suting turned the barbecue over in her hands and said, "Okay, I'll grill it and give you the first skewer so you can taste my cooking skills!"
Tan Er smiled: "Okay!"
It was almost done roasting, and the familiar aroma filled my nose. "Qin'er, give me the seasoning."
Tan'er put down her fan and went to the simple table made of wooden boards at the back to get the seasoning.
Cao Cao and Xiao Hei had a simple breakfast and were stringing ingredients together beside the table. Fortunately, the weather was not very hot, otherwise the dishes would have basically wilted.
Jin Suting turned around and glanced at them, then said, "You must wash your hands thoroughly before skewering the food. You can't let the guests eat unsanitary food."
"I understand, miss~" Cao Cao blinked mischievously.
Qin'er took a jar of honey and a bowl of chili powder. Jin Suting freed one hand and used a spoon to sprinkle the chili powder on the barbecue that was already 80% cooked. Her hands were also a little red. Although the weather was not hot, her hands would always become red and swollen if they were roasted over a high fire for a long time.
Tan Er asked, "Miss, I understand adding chili powder, but why honey?"
Honey is very expensive, only three taels of silver are needed for a small jar.
She had spent a lot of money to buy it a long time ago, but she had never been willing to eat it. It was only yesterday when Jin Suting asked about it that she took out the treasure she had treasured for a long time.
Jin Suting remained mysterious and said, "I'll let you taste it after I bake it, and then you'll know why I put honey in it~"
Barbecue sprinkled with chili powder and honey is fragrant and much more delicious than food with ordinary seasonings.
It was breakfast time at this time, and there were more people coming in. Some curious people came to take a look at their barbecue and then left.
Most people trust and rely on the places they used to go to for meals, such as Zuixianlou, the steamed bun shop next to Zuixianlou, and the dozens of food places on this street.
If the East-West Building behind their barbecue stall had not yet opened, they, as newbies, might not even have a place to stand.
"Sister, why haven't you come to buy our barbecue yet?" Xiao Hei and Cao Cao have already skewered all the ingredients and are just waiting to grill them.
Who would have thought that since no customers had come yet, the price list Qin'er had written last night was useless.
"Wait a minute," Jin Suting appeared calm on the surface, but was actually panicking inside. "Hey, this first skewer is for Tan'er. This is for Xiao Hei, Cao Cao, and mine. Be careful with the heat~"
So the four of them ate barbecue in front of their barbecue stall without any income.
The first time Tan Er took a bite, she praised repeatedly: "Miss, this is so delicious!"
Cao Cao also agreed: "Well, this leek looks greasy, but it really doesn't taste greasy at all. It's fragrant, sweet, and a little spicy. The lady's cooking skills are really good!"
Jin Suting didn't expect the response to be so good, but why didn't Xiao Hei say anything? That skewer of his was beef, roast beef. Given their current situation, roast beef was a luxury.
So Jin Suting asked, "Xiao Hei, how is it? Is it delicious?"
Xiao Hei raised his head with tears in his eyes. He said, "I feel like this tastes so familiar. I want to cry after eating it, but I can't remember where I've eaten it before."
Jin Suting's heart skipped a beat. Has he even forgotten about barbecue?
Does that mean that she will forget it in the future? Other things are fine, but she doesn’t want to forget the delicious food for the rest of her life!
"Is it not tasty? Why are you crying?" Qin'er asked anxiously. The beef bought at a high price should not be worse than vegetables, right?
Xiao Hei cried and snotted: "It's just too delicious. And why is it so sweet? Not spicy at all, not strong at all, and not like me at all."
"What? I thought something was wrong with you!" Qin Er was relieved. "It's delicious, which means our young lady is a good cook. These vegetables, meat, etc. will definitely be sold out in no time!"
Jin Suting: "I would like to borrow Tan'er's good words."
After Xiao Hei finished eating a skewer of beef, he strongly requested Jin Suting to grill it again. He originally wanted to wait a little longer, after all, no one came to buy their barbecue yet.
Barbecue is best enjoyed while it's hot. If it's left to cool down after being grilled, it will definitely not be as delicious as when it's fresh out of the oven.
"Then I'll grill two more skewers to attract customers." Jin Suting took two more skewers of leeks, poked the charcoal fire with an iron tongs, and the red flames jumped up.
Xiao Hei said, "I'm going to promote our barbecue stall and shout it out. I don't believe there's anyone in this world who can resist the temptation of barbecue!"
