Chapter 1682

~10 min read 1,990 words

In the end, it was Old Zhao who came to turn the tide.

He hadn't seen any movement before and thought everyone wasn't buying it, but now that he saw even the people from the barbecue stall crowding over—

Actually, many of them didn't know what these water caltrops tasted like, but since so many people were grabbing them, there must be a reason, so they squeezed in too.

The more people there were, the more anxious everyone became, and the louder they shouted.

The five children, two big and three small, were instantly blank, only Qiaoqiao still had a little experience—

But how much should they sell?!

In the end, Old Zhao rushed over while holding a skewer:

"Purchase limit, sell 100 to each—50, sell 50 to each!"

As soon as this was said, Yun Danqing was the first to feel aggrieved: "50 isn't divisible..."

1 yuan for 3, how to sell 50?

Chen Chi was also aggrieved there, counting on his fingers—his progress was slow, and he wasn't familiar with multiplication and division yet.

Old Zhao hurriedly changed his words embarrassedly:

"Then sell 20 yuan worth to each! Crunch crunch... 63, right, crunch crunch..."

He bit the cabbage skewer in his hand: Oh my, so delicious!

Fresh, sweet, spicy, it has every flavor, even the vegetable stalks are so delicious, crunch crunch...

He chewed with a muffled sound, unable to speak clearly. The regular customers next to him saw his useless appearance and couldn't help but swallow their saliva:

"Old Zhao, we are all regulars. After coming for so many days, I haven't shorted you on the price of a single green onion, right? Can't you fight for two skewers for us?"

The barbecue customers didn't understand and followed up by asking: "What ingredients are used to make it so fragrant? You really don't plan to do this business?"

Old Zhao wiped the cabbage skewer clean and said embarrassedly: "Brothers, it's not that I'm insincere, it's really that I'm also eating other people's food, how can I be embarrassed to take it while eating..."

"We won't take it for free, we'll pay for it. If you don't let me taste a bite tonight, I probably won't be able to sleep in the middle of the night."

"Exactly! We know the price of your vegetables, just give us a number!"

Old Zhao was still holding two oily meat skewers in his hand, hesitating and thinking about how to refuse.

But before his brain could turn, the regular customer who had paid 20 yuan for water caltrops had already squeezed out of the crowd. Seeing him struggling there, he didn't say a word, stepped forward and took a bite—

"Ah!"

Old Zhao screamed so miserably that everyone was startled, as if a seven-foot man had been forcibly kissed by a man on the street!

But looking at his heartbroken expression, this probably wasn't as good as being forcibly kissed!

"My lamb!!!"

The regular customer was also a bit embarrassed—

It was a momentary impulse, really just a momentary impulse! Who let him guard here for a long time, just smelling this seductive fragrance for a long time?

Old Zhao is the same, holding the skewer without eating, circling around there, how unhygienic!

He wasn't afraid of getting a stomachache, what was Old Zhao screaming about? And he was picky, he only bit the piece on the very top!

But soon, this embarrassment was replaced by a blankness—

"This meat..." chew chew chew.

"Holy crap, this meat..." chew chew chew

"Old Zhao..." chew chew—

Chewed away.

Everyone looked at him, their eyes expectant.

And he swallowed it, then became dull.

Old Zhao was already looking at him painfully and vigilantly. At this moment, he didn't say a word and took two steps back, and held the meat skewer horizontally, two skewers—alright, now it was one and two-thirds skewers—all bitten in his own mouth:

"Why are you like this? I kindly limited the purchase for you..."

He felt something was wrong after saying it, so he changed his words: "I kindly came over to mediate for you..."

Still not right!

"I kindly came over to distribute goods for you, why are you like this!"

But the other party didn't answer him, but looked at him again with burning eyes: "Old Zhao, I've been buying things in your shop for so long, I gritted my teeth no matter how expensive it was. But the meat you ate today, tell the truth, why?!"

As soon as he said this accusation, the customers next to him couldn't wait to ask: "Stop talking about that useless stuff, just tell us if it's delicious, this fragrance is too seductive!"

But the other party was already in pain: "It's delicious! Such delicious food, I only ate one bite, this lamb is so tender and fresh, no mutton smell, and has a different feeling..."

At this moment, the desire to be the richest man reached its peak.

If he had enough money, he would spend ten thousand gold, he didn't believe he couldn't wrap up this barbecue stall!

But now, watching Old Zhao quickly pull out oily and bright traces on both sides of his cheeks with the skewer, both skewers of meat were wrapped into his mouth...

Even more painful!

Hearing this, everyone was eager to move.

The barbecue customers who didn't understand and were still patiently waiting for the children to count water caltrops were all looking at this scene in surprise, and many people had even taken out their mobile phones...

Old Zhao became anxious instantly.

If they started fighting and grabbing because of the skewers, then he would be guilty!

Can't have this good thing happen next time, right?

And Song Tan, who was watching the excitement from afar, said softly: "Brother Yanping, it's your turn."

Her cousin was clumsy at cutting meat tonight, washed vegetables clumsily, and wasn't as active as the plumbing shop owner when carrying buckets and pouring water, so he just chatted with people.

But you raise a brother for a thousand days, use him for a moment.

At this moment, it was Zhang Yanping's highlight.

He didn't do anything, just carried a stainless steel basin and walked over slowly—it was shiny and bright, and it was metal, looking deterrent.

And because it was a thin basin, it was quite loud when knocked, but it had no lethality, both safe and secure.

Most importantly, the underworld big brother really didn't want to admit: when customers were truly excited, he could put the basin on his head...

Thinking of this, he felt much safer, so he shouted:

"What are you all doing!"

In short, at this moment, the scene quieted down.

The big light provided by the plumbing shop owner shone from behind, the light reversed, making his body even more oppressive.

The half-bright, half-dark face was covered with a ferocious color under the street lamp, and the atmosphere at the scene suddenly tightened.

The two customers who had just turned from the alley entrance to buy water caltrops paused, turned around, and retreated into the darkness silently.

Only Qiaoqiao was counting water caltrops—since they were limited to 20 yuan, they just packed 63 in each bag—

And frowned hesitantly:

Brother Yanping looks so fierce, will everyone not buy water caltrops anymore?

Old Zhao also shuddered, looking at his bare iron skewers, then at the customer who had just eaten his skewers, and the ferocious Zhang Yanping...

"Forget it, forget it," he turned around and pushed Zhang Yanping back: "It's not easy for everyone..."

"Everyone just likes your barbecue too much..."

"Didn't mean to buy, didn't! Just got carried away by the praise, didn't hold back..."

In the crowd, many people took out their mobile phones and typed:

【Don't come! The skewers here are too damn delicious! But the group of people grilling skewers are black society!】

【!!!】 The person on the other end of the phone was also shocked: "Shouldn't you call the police?"

And the person who sent the message hesitated for a while, then sniffed again, and looked at the hesitant ones in front who didn't know whether to buy water caltrops:

【Forget it, they grill skewers by their own ability—and I haven't bought water caltrops yet!】

Friend:...

In short, the atmosphere that had just become lively suddenly cooled down. Only Qin Beibei and the others were completely unaware. Seeing that everyone was not moving, they raised their voices and shouted again:

【Selling water caltrops, 1 yuan for 3! Fresh, tender, crisp, and sweet little water caltrops】

Hee hee, it's her turn to shout!

And more confused than this group of customers who couldn't eat barbecue were the group of people in the live broadcast room:

【Qiaoqiao, do you remember you have the live broadcast on】

【It's late at night, show us something worth seeing? How can you just face the water caltrop basket】

【What were they arguing about just now? Too many people talking, didn't hear clearly】

【Seems like they were talking about purchase limits, mediation, and distribution...】

【Holy crap! Does Teacher Qiaoqiao mean that we will have to have distribution for everything we buy in the shop from now on?】

【Should be what it means, it was already very hard to buy, now they are doing that luxury goods set...】

【What is distribution】

【It means if you want to buy a jin of white fungus from him, you have to buy two taels of tea, three packs of dried sweet potatoes, and four portions of potatoes to be qualified to buy white fungus... right?】

【???】

【Are you still unwilling to have this kind of distribution?!】

【Exactly! I can!! I accept! I can even have two portions!】

【What, what, you guys started distribution? Is this a serious live broadcast room? What are they selling? Are there so many tricks for selling agricultural products now】

【I just came, why does this live broadcast room feel wrong】

【I think so too, it's fine if the camera is facing a few water caltrop baskets, but they keep selling inside, and the water caltrops are getting less and less under my nose】

【Am I the only one who thinks it's abnormal to sell these things so fast in the middle of the night?】

【There are so many people talking and it's so noisy, seems like they are having some mobilization meeting, and then it got to the barbecue...】

【Aren't you, what kind of anchors does this small live broadcast platform push? Click in and see, there are over 1.3 million fans】

【Is this live broadcast room serious?】

Qiaoqiao was sweating profusely from busyness, surrounded by the quieted crowd, and was almost numb from counting.

Fortunately, Zhang Yanping's deterrent power was enough, and many people had quietly left without buying anything. Only Old Zhao's customers were still pouring in continuously...

Too many! Too many people buying!

Big hands and small hands reached into the basket together, counting and packing, even He Tuoluo, the greediest one, couldn't smell the barbecue fragrance anymore.

They were surrounded by many adults, all of whom were tall and numerous, and the fragrance was sucked away before it reached them.

Oh my, all he saw in the crowd were legs, legs, legs, legs, legs...

He Tuoluo became anxious: "How much money have we sold? Is it enough for us to buy skewers tonight?"

Yun Danqing was already numb from calculating, and even Chen Chi was numb from flipping the payment code back and forth. At this moment, she just lowered her head to look at the water caltrops left at the bottom of the basket.

The children who were skilled through practice said: "Not enough for twenty yuan..."

?? Coming! My little cat has mastitis (several doctors are studying it), the big cat suddenly has interdigital inflammation (most likely caused by the ground being too damp for two consecutive months of rain), applying medicine is a mess...

? 【10.13 None】
