Chapter 1559: Barbecue
February 13, 1994, the fourth day of the first lunar month, Sunday!
Jiangzhou, at the entrance of Yuzhou Technology, many people, men, women, old, and young, were gathered.
These were the families of the scientific researchers of the Yuzhou Research Institute, who had been staying there since New Year's Eve until today.
By the roadside, more than thirty buses were parked, lined up for a long way, with no end in sight.
Farewells are always sad, especially for those with young children, who were crying and wailing.
Grandpas, grandmas, dads, moms, the chaotic shouting sounded like one piece.
Liu Qingjun said to the old director beside him, "The Chairman said that the apartment building will start renovation in June, prioritizing your research institute first, and you will definitely be able to move in by the end of the year. By then, you can bring all your families over."
The old director nodded. "Bringing all the families over, everyone can also settle down and work with peace of mind."
At this time, Tian Zhuang, the big housekeeper of Yuzhou Technology, began to arrange for the families to get on the bus.
It took a full hour of busyness to send the people away, and then he let out a long sigh of relief.
"Old director, factory director, I have not failed the mission, finally successfully completed the task."
Liu Qingjun said with a smile, "When the Chairman comes back, I will ask for a reward for you."
Indeed, more than a thousand scientific researchers, with more than two thousand family members, from New Year's Eve to the third day of the New Year, a full four days.
Eating, drinking, pooping, peeing, and living, it was all arranged by Tian Zhuang, which was definitely not an easy job.
Tian Zhuang smiled bitterly. "Asking for a reward is fine, but we can't do this next time. I haven't slept well these past few days, very afraid of any problems. When I get off work today, I have to go home and have a good sleep."
"I'll give you a holiday now." Liu Qingjun said. "You go back and rest for two days."
"That's not necessary." Tian Zhuang shook his head, then wrapped his coat tightly. "Let's go back quickly, it's too cold today."
The old director asked Liu Qingjun, "Are you going to Beijing?"
Liu Qingjun nodded. "The train tonight, coming back with the Chairman on the sixth day."
The old director said, "Give my New Year's greetings to the Chairman's parents."
"No problem." Liu Qingjun agreed with a smile.
……………………
Beijing!
Zhou Andong personally sent Zhi Wanshan and the others to the plane, and when he came back, he saw Zhou Wang leading people to move things into the courtyard.
"Chairman!" Seeing Zhou Andong return, Zhou Wang hurriedly greeted him. "The grill pan and stove you mentioned are done."
Zhou Andong's face was full of joy. "Put them in the courtyard?"
"Yes!" Zhou Wang agreed.
Zhou Andong walked quickly into the courtyard and saw the polished grill pan, which was very beautiful.
"These holes are very even, they weren't spot-welded, right?"
"Drilled with a lathe." Zhou Wang said with a smile. "Spot-welded holes aren't even, too ugly, so I thought of using a lathe to drill them."
"Good!" Zhou Andong was very happy, and looked at the charcoal stove again. "Very good, you guys don't leave either, I'll treat you to barbecue at noon."
"Barbecue?" Zhou Wang only then knew what these things were for. "Use this to barbecue meat?"
"Yes!" Zhou Andong said. "I guarantee you'll find it unforgettable."
"Big brother!" Old Four brought a bunch of little ones running over.
"Uncle!"
"Uncle!"
"Dad!"
Amidst a series of crisp calls, Su Su rushed over with her little legs.
Zhou Andong hurriedly squatted down, caught the little girl, and picked her up.
More than a dozen little ones curiously surrounded the grill pan and stove to look.
Little Fatty squatted down and picked up the grill pan. "Uncle, what is this for?"
"For barbecue." Zhou Andong answered.
"Barbecue!" Little Fatty's eyes lit up immediately. "Eating barbecue tonight?"
At this time, Jian Qiu, Zhou Anqin, and Zhou Qianyi walked over.
"What is this?" Zhou Qianyi looked curiously at the grill pan in Little Fatty's hand.
Zhou Andong explained it to them again and handed Su Su to Zhou Anqin.
"I'm going to Grand Mart to buy seasonings, you guys at home take out the beef, mutton, pork, as well as beef tripe, lamb offal, and pork tripe to thaw, wait for me to come back and then deal with it."
"Wentian!" Zhou Andong shouted. "Go to Grand Mart!"
He and Wang Wentian went to Grand Mart to buy seasonings, and this whole family heard the news and all ran over to see the fresh gadget, not knowing how to do it.
Zhou Xianyong held the charcoal stove. "I think this should be for putting charcoal, put the grill pan on top, and then you can barbecue meat to eat."
"Can this be delicious?" Zhou Qianyi was very skeptical.
"Barbecue must be delicious." Little Fatty said with a smile. "No matter what meat, it's delicious when barbecued."
"That's right." Zhou Xianyong nodded. "Meat eaten by barbecue must be delicious."
Jian Qiu said, "Since this grill pan is for barbecue, let someone wash it clean first."
The family also began to get busy, taking out everything that should be taken out.
The meat was frozen solid, so it could only be taken to the kitchen and put into a large basin, with water poured inside.
More than an hour later, Zhou Andong came back carrying large and small bags of seasonings.
Wang Wentian and other security guards followed behind, carrying several large nylon bags of charcoal.
"Come, come, come!" Zhou Andong entered the kitchen. "Is the meat thawed?"
"How could it be that fast." Jian Qiu said. "Frozen solid."
"These small pieces are thawed." Zhou Andong squatted down to look. "Take out these small pieces first, cut them into slices this thick."
"Good!"
The nanny began to cut the meat, and Zhou Andong took out the seasonings and began to mix them.
"Xiao Qin, pour all the sesame paste and peanut butter into that basin, and stir it with water."
"Good!" Xiao Qin carried more than twenty bottles of sesame paste and five or six bottles of peanut butter into the kitchen, found a basin, and began to stir the sesame paste and peanut butter.
Zhou Andong marinated the cut meat with seasonings and had someone cut the beef tripe, pork tripe, and lamb offal.
Then he went to the courtyard, had Wang Wentian and the others put the charcoal stove on the table, and began to light the charcoal.
It was said to be lunch, but it was already past three o'clock when everything was done, and no one knew how to eat it, all looking at him expectantly.
"Just put the meat on top and barbecue it."
Zhou Andong was very helpless, picked up a slice of meat and put it on the grill pan, and with a sizzling sound, the aroma of barbecue came out.
"When it's barbecued, dip it in sesame paste, just like eating hot pot."
Zhou Andong put the cooked meat slice into a bowl, dipped it in sesame paste, put it in his mouth, and closed his eyes very enjoyably.
"This is the taste, delicious."
When the others saw it, they picked up meat slices one after another and put them on the grill pan.
Because they considered that there were many people in the family and the table was large, the grill pan and charcoal stove they made were also very large.
Zhou Andong patted Zhou Wang on the shoulder and said to the two slightly restrained employees with a smile.
"Just treat this as a restaurant, don't be polite."
Originally, Zhou Wang wanted to go to the opposite side to eat with Wang Wentian and the others, but Zhou Andong pulled them over here.
This made Zhou Wang very moved, but since these were all the Chairman's family, he was actually a bit restrained.
After everyone took a bite, they couldn't put it down, and even the three old men and old ladies had a great appetite, eating and saying it was good.
Zhou Andong came to Jian Qiu's table. "Is it delicious?"
"Delicious!"
A table full of women didn't care about their image anymore, eating with mouths full of oil and sesame paste, even Zhou Qianyi, who had always paid attention to her image, was like this.
"Brother, how did you think of this way of eating?"
Zhou Andong didn't answer her, but asked, "Tell me, how about opening a barbecue restaurant like this?"
