Gu Bing snorted: "That bastard, he definitely doesn't have good intentions again."

Wu Huilin said with a smile: "But it's definitely not a bad thing."

"I'll give him a call and ask."

Gu Bing grabbed the phone and dialed a string of numbers. It rang for a long time before it was connected, and a childish voice came from the receiver.

"Hey, who are you looking for?"

As soon as Gu Bing heard the voice, he knew it was Old Four, and a smile appeared on his face: "I am your brother Gu Bing, let your big brother answer the phone."

"Brother Gu Bing, are you in Jingcheng!" Old Four asked, then replied: "My big brother is not at home."

"Not at home?" Gu Bing asked: "Where did he go?"

"I don't know." Old Four seemed to be eating something, and occasionally smacked his lips: "I came back from school, and Big Brother and Sister-in-law were not at home."

"Oh!" Gu Bing didn't ask again: "Okay, then that's it."

"Goodbye!" Old Four hung up the phone.

"It's so late, where did the two of them run off to, not home yet." Gu Bing muttered, put down the phone, and got up to walk toward the bathroom: "I'm going to take a bath."

…………………………

Jingcheng!

Zhou Andong and Seeing Jian Qiu came out of Courtyard No. 6, didn't take a car, strolled to the square for a turn, and then went to the Dicos store in Xidan. An Jing was not there, and the two asked for a bottle of black tea each.

After resting for more than an hour, the time came to four o'clock, and the two went to the mall again. Zhou Andong bought a few changes of clothes. After coming out, the sky was almost dark.

"Strolled for such a long time today, you must be tired." Zhou Andong supported Seeing Jian Qiu: "Find a place to eat and rest for a while."

"Strolled for a while and sat for a while, not very tired." Seeing Jian Qiu shook her head: "I want to eat barbecue."

"Okay!" Zhou Andong said with a smile: "Datang Barbecue has opened, I don't know how it is yet, just go and see."

Seeing Jian Qiu hugged Zhou Andong's arm and walked toward the car not far away: "I'll take you to another place to eat barbecue."

Zhou Andong was stunned: "Our barbecue restaurant has only been open for a few days, so soon there are followers?"

"You don't think that the barbecue you made is the only one, do you." Seeing Jian Qiu rolled her eyes at him: "There are two barbecue restaurants in Jingcheng, known by Jingcheng people as Nan Wan Bei Ji.

Nan Wan is Kaorou Wan, which existed as early as the 25th year of Kangxi, with a history of more than 300 years. As for Bei Ji, it's called Kaorou Ji, which also has more than a hundred years."

Zhou Andong really didn't know. It was mainly because there were so many barbecue chain brands in later generations, each making a lot of money, and Kaorou Wan and Kaorou Ji had such a deep historical foundation, but he hadn't heard of them. It was too inappropriate.

Soon they arrived at the place. After getting out of the car, Zhou Andong glanced at the plaque, which read "Kaorou Wan Restaurant."

Seeing Jian Qiu said with a smile: "Pu Ru, the cousin of the last emperor Puyi, highly praised the barbecue of Kaorou Wan and also inscribed a plaque for it.

In addition, many celebrities and famous people like Zhang Daqian, Guo Moruo, Qi Bai Shi, Liu Bingsen, and Mei Lanfang left calligraphy and paintings when they ate here."

Zhou Andong supported Seeing Jian Qiu and walked up the steps: "How is the taste? Is it as delicious as our Datang Barbecue?"

"Go in and eat, won't you know?"

Seeing Jian Qiu pushed open the door, and the waiter immediately greeted them, then found an empty table to sit down.

Zhou Andong looked around. The decoration was a bit dilapidated, and the place was not too big, but the business was really good. It was almost eight o'clock, and there were still 60-70% of the guests, not to mention it was 1994 now.

Zhou Andong took the menu and flipped from beginning to end. Although it was mainly barbecue, there were not many types of barbecue dishes. There were only a few, and most of them were stir-fried dishes, and they were Halal.

"We want to eat barbecue, give me one of everything on the menu."

"Ah?"

The waiter opened her mouth slightly. This was the first time she had encountered such a guest ordering food, and she was stunned there for a while.

"Why?" Zhou Andong said with a smile: "Are all these things I ordered gone?"

"No—no!" The waiter came back to her senses, her face a bit red: "So much, can the two of you finish it?"

"It doesn't matter if you can't finish it." Zhou Andong waved his hand: "Just follow my request."

"Okay!"

Since the guest requested it, she as a waiter naturally couldn't stop it, otherwise the boss would deduct her salary if he knew.

The grill was not embedded in the table. The furnace body was similar to a hot pot, and what was burned inside was not charcoal, but pine branches.

When the waiter brought the grill up, Zhou Andong smelled the peculiar fragrance of pine branches burning.

And the grill pan, here called "roasting," was different from the one he used with iron plates and holes; it was welded with small finger-thick iron bars.

Soon, the meat was sent up. Seeing Jian Qiu took long chopsticks and put the meat on the grill.

After the color changed, she put it in Zhou Andong's bowl first.

"The meat is marinated, there is no dipping sauce, you can eat it with sugar garlic, cucumber strips, and chili oil." Seeing Jian Qiu looked at Zhou Andong with great expectation: "Hurry up and taste it."

Zhou Andong followed his wife's instructions, matched it with sugar garlic, cucumber strips, and chili oil, put the meat into his mouth, and then chewed it carefully.

"How is it?" Seeing Jian Qiu looked at Zhou Andong without blinking.

"The meat quality is lubricated, fat but not greasy, thin but not firewood!" Zhou Andong put a few more pieces of meat into his mouth: "Plus the smoky flavor of pine branches burning, overall it's quite good."

Seeing Jian Qiu also ate a piece of meat: "How to say, Datang Barbecue decoration is exquisite, the dining environment is comfortable, there are many dishes, especially the dipping sauce you prepared, the meat is dipped in it, it is really fragrant.

So, whether it's Kaorou Wan or Kaorou Ji, even if the historical foundation is deep, it's impossible to compete with us.

However, if Kaorou Wan and Kaorou Ji know how to be flexible, decorate the shop, enrich the dishes, provide dipping sauce, plus their own historical foundation, in this way, the competitiveness will rise geometrically."

Zhou Andong was lowering his head to eat, and at this time he raised his head and asked with a smile: "Why do I hear that you have something in your words."

Seeing Jian Qiu also laughed: "You say, can we acquire Kaorou Wan and Kaorou Ji?"

"Hmm?" Zhou Andong was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "As long as you want, then acquire it. Don't talk about any century-old shop or deep historical foundation. To put it bluntly, it's just a restaurant. As long as the money is in place, it would be strange if they don't sell."

Seeing Jian Qiu wiped the corner of her mouth with a napkin: "An Jing is very concerned about the catering company. She really wants to make some achievements.

So I thought, Kaorou Wan and Kaorou Ji have a deep historical foundation. After the catering company acquires them, it will be of great benefit to future development."

"I don't care about this matter." Zhou Andong lowered his head and continued to eat, and he was really hungry: "You discuss it with An Jing."
