With Shen Anan being captured, Jiang Zhining's biggest enemy was finally resolved.
At the same time, Jiang Zhining's hot pot restaurant officially welcomed the barbecue business.
Taking advantage of the weekend, Jiang Zhining stood at the door of the store and shouted loudly: "Fellow villagers, from today on, our hot pot restaurant can not only eat hot pot, but also barbecue!"
Hearing this, the villagers were curious: "What barbecue?"
"Both vegetables and meat can be grilled on the grill pan. Paired with my exclusive secret dipping sauce, it tastes amazing!" Jiang Zhining said, giving a thumbs up.
Hearing this, several loyal customers of the hot pot restaurant became restless.
Seeing this, Jiang Zhining continued to offer temptation: "The barbecue restaurant is currently in trial operation for seven days. During this period, all customers who come to the store can receive a free serving of secret barbecue or grilled eggplant with garlic sauce made with our exclusive secret recipe."
Hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up. Because hot pot is so popular, everyone was itching to try the unique recipe.
"Boss Jiang, are there any other activities?" someone shouted.
"To thank all our brothers and sisters for their support of our store, we have a stamp collection activity for friends. During the trial operation of the barbecue, every time friends and family come to the store, they can get a stamp. Collect eight stamps and you can redeem them for a cash red envelope of 8.8 yuan."
As soon as Jiang Zhining finished speaking, the crowd immediately became agitated: "Eating and getting red envelopes is too good to be true. What are you waiting for? Come on and eat."
Before he finished speaking, someone rushed into the store.
Immediately afterwards, many more people rushed in.
Seeing this, Shen Weilu asked worriedly: “Sister, how can we not lose money like this?”
Jiang Zhining chuckled: "Although it seems like we're losing money, in reality we're just making less. Stir up the barbecue craze so that summer business will be stable. When doing business, you have to focus on long-term interests."
There are few entertainment options in this era, so it would be a good choice to eat barbecue, drink some wine, and chat with brothers and sisters.
"I'll negotiate the beer supply tomorrow, and buy a freezer the next day. It'll be so cool to drink cold beer and eat barbecue in the summer." Jiang Zhining said with a smile.
She was very glad that when she chose the location of the hot pot restaurant, she chose a busy and prosperous area. This directly determined the economic and spending power of the customers who would come to this street to consume.
Shen Weilu looked at Jiang Zhining with admiration. Jiang Zhining's courage and ideas were much better than his, no wonder she could make money.
Just as she was about to go back to the store, she saw Shen Liqing coming with a group of people. "Auntie, why are you here?" Jiang Zhining greeted her warmly and took her hand affectionately.
Shen Liqing looked at her with a smile on her face: "Your store is renovating today, of course I have to come and support it."
Hearing this, Jiang Zhining said with a smile, "I knew that my aunt was the best to me."
"You have such a sweet mouth." Shen Liqing's eyes were full of doting. She liked Jiang Zhining at first sight. This is what people usually call having a good eye for each other.
Originally, there were only ten tables available for the barbecue, but because there were many guests, Jiang Zhining had someone remove a few of the hot pot pots and replace them with grill pans to increase the number of seats.
Not only that, they also set up a small shed and small tables outside the store.
After eating the barbecue, Shen Liqing gave a positive evaluation: "Your barbecue is really amazing. I have eaten a lot of delicacies from mountains and seas, but this is the first time I have eaten barbecue, and I was still amazed."
"This is the choice of the masses." Jiang Zhining said jokingly.
If it wasn’t delicious, barbecue wouldn’t have become a popular late-night snack stall among modern people.
"By the way, Zhining, has your Song Yuzhou come back?" Shen Liqing asked.
"Not yet. This mission will take quite some time." Jiang Zhining's brows flashed with worry.
It was terrible to have no news at all, which further strengthened her decision to buy a pager.
Shen Liqing saw her worry and said comfortingly: "Don't worry too much. My brother sent someone to check on Song Yuzhou before and knew that he was very powerful. I really hope he is my sister's daughter, so that we can be even closer relatives."
Jiang Zhining smiled and said, "When Yuzhou comes back, I will definitely bring him to visit. Yuzhou must also want to know if you are his family."
Shen Liqing sighed softly: "Yes. If my sister had not left the Shen family, she might not have passed away so early."
Although it has not been finally confirmed, they have always felt that Song Yuzhou's mother should be her sister Ye Qingyi.
"Then why did she leave the Shen family?"
"When my sister fell in love with a poor boy, my father disagreed. But my sister insisted on having him, so my father kicked her out of the house and cut off all contact with her."
Jiang Zhining was surprised. She didn't expect this to be the reason.
"Because my sister's last name is Ye, and she's the second child in the family, my father never loved her much since she was a child. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been so decisive in the beginning."
Jiang Zhining understood that since ancient times, the second child has always been easily overlooked.
"Aunt, don't be too sad. What's past is past." Jiang Zhining comforted.
"Well, if Song Yuzhou is really my sister's child, we will treat him well." Shen Liqing said slowly.
Jiang Zhining smiled faintly. She would not say too much about how Song Yuzhou would treat the Shen family and would let him decide for himself.
After sending Shen Liqing away, Jiang Zhining continued to busy herself with the business in the store.
In the evening, Jiang Zhining was about to go home, but saw Lin Chunmei and Jiang Zhenhai standing outside the door in whitish clothes.
Seeing her, Jiang Zhenhai seemed to see hope: "Zhi Ning, please help Dad. Dad is really hungry."
Jiang Zhining frowned, "Director Jiang, this is not like you."
"Zhi Ning, I know I was wrong. Please help me because your father is still good to you." Jiang Zhenhai begged pitifully.
After being fired from the steel mill, the two of them lost their source of income. With all their money squandered by Shen Anan, their lives became extremely difficult and miserable.
Jiang Zhining sneered: "I didn't expect that this day would come to you. It's a pity that I am a cold-blooded person."
Hearing this, Lin Chunmei shouted excitedly: "Jiang Zhining, you have no conscience. We have raised you for twenty years, and you treat us like this!"
"It's not that I don't have a conscience, but you don't deserve it." Jiang Zhining's eyes were cold, "Don't try to blackmail me morally. After all, everyone in North City knows what you did."
Passersby saw this and whispered.
"We are almost starving to death, are you going to just watch us die?" Jiang Zhenhai was a little angry. He thought he was treating Jiang Zhining well.
Just when Jiang Zhenhai tried to fan the flames again, Shen Weilu came out: “Who said my sister has no conscience!”
