~15 min read 2,876 words

They spent the night amidst Xu Shengli's snoring.

Xu Shengli's snoring was simply too loud, and he slept like the dead, which left Guo Zongbao and the other two feeling very irritated. They had been sleeping just fine, and suddenly having this happen, they naturally couldn't adapt, tossing and turning until the second half of the night before they were finally too exhausted to stay awake and fell asleep.

Wang Yan was not affected by anything, he could sleep in any noisy environment, and could maintain considerable alertness. Of course, human inertia is great, after being comfortable for a long time, he also had to adjust a little.

But on the other hand, he wouldn't be affected even if he didn't sleep for days and nights.

Jumping off the bed with light movements, Wang Yan put on his clothes, and it was the same old routine of going out for a morning run and boxing.

It was also to familiarize himself with the surrounding environment, counting it up, he hadn't been here for more than two hundred years. Even if his memory was good, he still needed to mobilize it, relying on the scene to recall.

Leaving the basement and arriving outside, the courtyard door was already open, and Little Northeast was sleeping soundly in his gatehouse. Obviously, he got up halfway to open the door, and then went back to sleep.

It was only past five o'clock, and the big courtyard was already very lively.

Children were crying, adults were coaxing, and the elderly were already out for a walk.

Going out further, there were cars speeding on the street, people riding motorcycles with a 'tut-tut-tut' sound, people riding bicycles ringing bells, riding tricycles, and even traffic disputes where people stood there scolding the street.

Wang Yan ran around the neighborhood for twenty kilometers and was roughly familiar with the environment.

I dare not say how clear it was, but I was clear about the location of the basic daily necessities. Such as markets, barbershops, bathhouses, etc., and even found several popular breakfast shops.

Wang Yan ate breakfast outside by the way, and then bought a pile of seasonings.

When he returned to 'Winter Goes Spring Comes', it was already noisy here. A group of people were going in and out, fighting for the toilet in the hotel. On the washing side, a large group of people were buzzing, and in the kitchen, it was clanging, people were in a hurry as if fighting a war.

Zhuang Zhuang stood at the door of the room, watching these people living in the basement coming and going in chaos.

"Brother Yan?" She looked him up and down in surprise, "Are you back from outside?"

"Otherwise, is the pile of things I'm carrying falling from the sky?" Wang Yan looked at her amusedly, "Didn't sleep well yesterday, dark circles are out."

"Not used to it, fell asleep in the second half of the night." While speaking, Zhuang Zhuang also yawned, "Really envy you, so energetic."

"I'm just like this, I don't recognize the bed, I can sleep anywhere."

Zhuang Zhuang sighed about the morning here being like a war, and then asked curiously: "What did you buy?"

"Seasonings bought at the market, and thinking that you might not have rested well and aren't familiar with the neighborhood, I brought you breakfast."

"Ah?" Zhuang Zhuang didn't expect Wang Yan to be so thoughtful, hurriedly took the breakfast, and said, "Brother Yan, thank you, how much money? I'll give it to you in a while."

"Don't always talk about money, money, money. Even if I have no money, can I still be short of your breakfast? And I still have a pile here, I brought breakfast for the four in our room. No matter what, I beat them up, spending a little money to do big things."

"Right, right, right, Brother Yan, I was still persuading you, you have to be kind to others when you go out." Zhuang Zhuang nodded repeatedly, then looked at the rich breakfast in her hand, "Bought so much, I was thinking of going to the street outside to eat in a while."

"That one shouldn't taste too good."

"Wasn't it bought at the door?"

Wang Yan shook his head: "It's more than a kilometer away, a pile of people queuing up early in the morning, I guess it won't be bad. The one at our door, the business isn't very good. I've been back for a while and everyone is up, and there aren't many people queuing there. I've eaten it, it tastes pretty good, so many people are washing up, let's eat first."

Zhuang Zhuang thanked him and turned back to the room happily.

The start of coming to Beijing is very good, except for the thief who robbed in broad daylight, everyone she met was a good person...

Wang Yan opened the room door and heard Guo Zongbao, Tao Liangliang, and Cao Ye there condemning Xu Shengli, criticizing him for snoring so loudly and not considering his roommates.

Xu Shengli had also just gotten up, sitting there yawning with a bird's nest of hair, responding with "yes, yes, yes."

"Brother Wang, you got up so early, I got up early enough, but I didn't see you. I'm alert when I sleep, but I didn't hear when you went out." Guo Zongbao laughed honestly again.

"Forget it, you sleep the heaviest in the morning, and you're alert." Wang Yan shook his head in disgust, putting the breakfast on the table, "Brought you breakfast, one portion each, I'm new here, and I beat you two until you were bruised and swollen, although I was reasonable, I also expressed it slightly."

"Oh my, look at you, so polite." Although Guo Zongbao said he was being polite, his actions weren't slow at all; he was even more proactive than Tao Liangliang, Cao Ye, and Xu Shengli.

"Thank you, Brother Yan, no need to say, in our Beijing dialect, it's 'Juqi'." Tao Liangliang grabbed a bun and stuffed it into his mouth.

Cao Ye was the same, mumbling: "Brother Yan, you are really 'Juqi' to the point where you can't be more 'Juqi'."

Tao Liangliang followed closely: "Yeah, if you ask me, you should have beaten us two more, tighten our skin. If you have anything to do in the future, just say it."

This room of people is doing quite poorly, in terms of daily living costs, the most saving is eating. Not eating breakfast, but solving it together with lunch, is obviously the best choice.

At this moment, Wang Yan bought so much, one portion each, they really saved a meal, and could eat quite full, seeing Wang Yan was really like seeing their own father.

At this moment, the now-sober Xu Shengli looked at the breakfast left on the table and stood up in surprise, walking over: "You bought one for me too?"

"Bought it for everyone, it's not good if you're left out." Wang Yan fiddled with the various seasonings he bought back.

Xu Shengli, however, instantly thought of the key point: "Did you buy one for Zhuang Zhuang too?"

"That's just a matter of convenience."

Consequently, Xu Shengli felt a bit disappointed. Damn it, he had lost by a hair, having been "warmed" by the man surnamed Wang.

But he didn't show it on his face: "Thank you, I was indeed a bit wrong before, I apologize to you."

"It's okay, I didn't scold you, it means I can still accept it, I didn't beat you, it means there's still a chance. Since you know it yourself, just pay attention in the future."

These words choked Xu Shengli up, but he truly couldn't say anything. Because Wang Yan was really fierce and direct; he never would have imagined that Wang Yan would resort to violence directly.

The scene yesterday where Wang Yan violently pinned Cao Ye to the bed was truly unforgettable for Xu Shengli. He planned to write a villain based on Wang Yan. In reality, he was quite intimidated by Wang Yan now; how could his script possibly let Wang Yan off easy?

Thinking of this, Xu Shengli ate his breakfast very happily, as if he had truly won.

Chatting with a few people for a while, when there were fewer people outside, Wang Yan went to wash up, tidied up, and went out again.

This time he was going to look around the neighborhood to find a place to set up a stall.

Actually, this place is pretty good, with geographical advantages. There are top domestic universities here, many students, and naturally, there is a lot of food nearby. It doesn't necessarily have to go to the designated night market, just set up a stall where there is a dense flow of people, the only drawback is having to fight wits and courage with the urban management.

Of course, the economy hasn't developed to that extent now, and the urban management hasn't gone everywhere to drive people away, just not letting them set up in some places. After all, the current domestic and international environment is still very turbulent, with military downsizing, layoffs, deepening reform of state-owned enterprises, etc., the overall environment is still quite complex, and there are too many people with flexible employment.

Now it is advancing triumphantly on one hand, and not as good as before on the other, as if it were two worlds.

Wang Yan wandered outside for a long time, and finally selected Zhongguancun. This can be said to be the most prosperous and lively place nearby, where students, small vendors, and emerging information industries gather.

Found the stall location, Wang Yan went to buy a pedal tricycle, ordered a long barbecue oven, purchased charcoal, bought a medicine grinder, and finally found a place to buy lamb, and booked fresh meat for the next day.

Busy for a day like this, it was already evening when he returned to 'Winter Goes Spring Comes'.

"Oh my, I say fellow villager, you don't have to drag the car in directly, do you?" Little Northeast widened his eyes as he watched Wang Yan drag the tricycle in, "The public security in our area is actually pretty good, you usually won't lose it if you put it outside."

"Careful sailing for ten thousand years, and it's not hard, it's better to bring it in. Just watching? Give me a hand."

Little Northeast came over to help lift the tricycle and drop it into the courtyard: "Whoa, you really bought a lot, if you can't sell it, you'll lose everything."

"Not much money, the most expensive are this tricycle and the oven, both can be used, it doesn't matter if you can't sell it." Wang Yan sorted out the things in the tricycle bucket.

"Bought meat too? Do you have to try it today? Come, come, come, I'll help you get busy. You don't say, I really haven't eaten these lamb skewers for days. Now that you've put a pile of things here, I'm drooling."

Wang Yan smiled and nodded: "Don't worry, there's no shortage of work for you. Take this medicine grinder and brush it, I'll give you some seasoning in a while, you help me grind it."

"Got it, okay." Little Northeast was very active, went directly to the side and started working with the faucet.

Wang Yan went downstairs to get the seasonings he had bought that morning. The four people lying around inside automatically followed him out. Without Wang Yan needing to say a word, Xu Shengli called Zhuang Zhuang out.

So a large group of people living underground gathered on the ground.

There were stone tables and stools in the courtyard, Wang Yan cut the meat here, and Zhuang Zhuang, Guo Zongbao, and others on the side were putting skewers on bamboo sticks, Tao Liangliang was very active and went out to buy wine back.

Many hands make light work, after a while, a large pile of meat skewers were skewered, Wang Yan lit the charcoal and started barbecuing directly in the courtyard.

"Really fragrant!" Zhuang Zhuang put her hands behind her back and stood on tiptoe, leaning close to smell the smell of lamb skewers.

"This is just the beginning, wait until a while when it's paired with my soul seasoning, it will be even more fragrant when you eat it. I guarantee you'll want two skewers after eating one, and ten skewers after eating two."

Zhuang Zhuang covered her mouth and giggled: "Is it really that delicious."

However, before Wang Yan could speak, Little Northeast, who was still working hard to grind the seasoning on the side, took the words: "Zhuang Zhuang, you didn't understand what he meant, he was talking about a sketch, you have to ask him if he has a license."

Understanding the origin, Zhuang Zhuang laughed loudly, saying Wang Yan was really humorous, saying she knew little about sketches.

At this moment, Xu Shengli, who was beside them, showed off again, leaning in to talk to Zhuang Zhuang about the art form of sketches...

The fragrance gradually diffused, and there were more and more people in the courtyard, and even neighbors from outside came over, and the children were drooling. This is the power of the Barbecue King, the fragrance drifting for ten miles is like leisure, others come over just by smelling the smell.

Someone shouted: "Brother, your barbecue is too fragrant, how much? Can you sell me a few skewers?"

Wang Yan smiled and replied: "Eating it myself, not for sale. If you want to buy it later, one yuan a skewer."

"One yuan? Why don't you go rob a bank? That's fast money."

"Look at what you're saying, don't you eat bullets if you rob a bank? My selling lamb skewers is the result of hard labor." Wang Yan happily teased with people.

"No, this is too expensive! Who can afford it?"

Tao Liangliang waved his hand: "Then disperse, it's a matter of clearly marked prices, my Brother Yan said one yuan, if you accept it, buy it, if you don't accept it, don't buy it, why so many words? You can't make people lower the price just because you want to buy, right? You are the one robbing."

"Hey, this is right. If you don't buy it, there will definitely be people willing to spend one yuan to buy it." Guo Zongbao was also on Wang Yan's side, he was eating meat skewers, his tongue was about to be swallowed.

Cao Ye shouted: "Can you stop watching here? Not for sale, and you think it's expensive when selling, watching us eat here, you are uncomfortable, we are uncomfortable, go away quickly."

Zhuang Zhuang's eating manner was still very elegant, quietly talking to Wang Yan: "Are they all this good to you?"

Zhuang Zhuang thought that even if Wang Yan and the others made up, it was only maintaining peace on the surface, and they were still not close in private, didn't expect these people to defend Wang Yan so much now.

"There's no grudge that can't be untied, besides, my meat skewers are so good, they were also captured."

"That's true, I was also captured. You can make big money relying on this meat skewer, I congratulate you in advance for getting rich."

"It's still early to get rich, it's just enough for life. Come, eat more."

Zhuang Zhuang couldn't eat too much greasy food, she was a singer, she had to maintain her body and throat. But at this moment, she couldn't care about those, just thinking luckily that she would only eat this once, and it wouldn't have any effect.

She looked at Wang Yan, who was bare-chested, drinking beer while roasting meat skewers, thought for a while and said: "I now believe that you have many skills and are not overwhelmed."

"Why, didn't you believe it before?"

"Half-believing, now it's seeing is believing."

As the two of them were laughing and talking, Xu Shengli leaned in again: "What are you talking about? So happy? Wang Yan, your lamb skewers are really delicious! Zhuang Zhuang, don't you think so..."

Zhuang Zhuang nodded: "I've already said it, and said Brother Yan is going to get rich soon."

"Right, we're about to get rich soon." Xu Shengli chimed in, continuing to make small talk with Zhuang Zhuang.

Wang Yan glanced at him and didn't pay attention to him.

Xu Shengli's character is actually quite decent, but now that he is in the midst of male competition, he appears a bit annoying. Once he finally understands that he is powerless, he will become easier on the eyes.

No matter what, the debut of the Barbecue King was successful, first opening up fame in 'Winter Goes Spring Comes' and the surrounding areas.

People smelled the fragrance, knew that there was an outsider who roasted a good lamb skewer, and was crazy about money wanting to sell it for one yuan a skewer.

Although many people scolded, many people really wanted to taste it, what kind of taste it was...
