Chapter 1683

~15 min read 2,833 words

The water caltrops were finally sold out.

In the end, it wasn't enough for 20 yuan, but the other party rushed over with an eager scan of the code, and finally packed them away.

With the underworld big brother staring vaguely in front, barbecue couldn't be eaten, the deterrent power was always there, and those who didn't buy water caltrops left reluctantly.

Probably at the barbecue stall, they are about to become a new legend.

And Qiaoqiao and the others finally wiped the sweat from their heads in embarrassment at this moment, and then let out a fierce sigh:

"Finally sold out!"

Qin Beibei was even particularly uncomprehending: "Why wasn't I this busy when I set up a stall?"

Yun Danqing was much more mature, so she analyzed: "It must be because we didn't sell agricultural products. Next time I'll ask Dad to sell durians."

"Great!" He Tuoluo cheered: "My mom loves to eat them!"

And Chen Chi looked at Qiaoqiao with heartache: "Qiaoqiao, so this is what you were like when you set up a stall before."

It had been too long since he set up a stall, Qiaoqiao thought for a while: there weren't many people when they first set up the stall, and their vegetable quantity wasn't big either.

Later, the prices were all fixed, and there was no need to count. After all, counting more than 60 for every single order was really too exhausting.

In short, it was definitely not as tiring as it is now.

But he answered, and Chen Chi shook his head and stopped talking.

The tall and strong young man who was over 1.9 meters tall secretly sighed at this moment.

He had heard Qiaoqiao talk about the life of setting up a stall with his sister before, and felt so envious, so envious, it must be especially happy and interesting.

But after experiencing it tonight, he didn't expect it to be so busy, so tiring, so nervous...

Many people asked for the price, quantity, and asked him if he had finished counting... he was so anxious he almost cried.

And once interrupted, he couldn't remember what he had counted, and had to count from the beginning. The guests were still watching from the side...

Of course, some guests were bad-hearted and deliberately teased the children, suddenly interrupting and saying: "Why do I remember one less?"

Chen Chi was not confident in his math, and hurriedly counted again in a fluster...

In the end, it was too time-consuming, and he only stopped after being sanctioned by the customers who couldn't wait on the side.

In short, the four words 【flustered and flustered】 are completely insufficient to describe their pressure.

This is many, many times harder than shoveling cow and sheep manure on the farm!

Thinking of this, he hurriedly looked at Qiaoqiao again:

"Then are you thirsty? Are you hungry? Do you want to sit down and rest for a while? I'll go get you some skewers!"

Qiaoqiao didn't quite understand—why does Chen Chi want to take care of him so much? Shouldn't he be taking care of the 3 younger children?

He looked at the younger children.

Their blood bars recovered quickly. Now seeing only two empty baskets in front of them, they had already jumped and rushed into the crowd of barbecue eaters, while shouting 【Dad, I want to eat this】 【Mom, I want to eat that!】...

While not forgetting to chew in their mouths, they said vaguely: "We sold a lot, a lot of money, it's so hard to count... we almost counted wrong twice in the middle..."

The parents felt that peace was no longer there.

Before, only the adults were eating barbecue one by one, how comfortable, but now they have to listen to the children chattering.

Probably because the experience was rare, each of them had to dance and talk about these stall-setting stories in a topsy-turvy way—

Oh my, their mouths were occupied, they had no heart to listen.

"Baby," even Yun Danqing's mother couldn't stand it: "You shouted so loudly just now, does your throat hurt? Come, drink some iced plum soup."

Eat and drink, block the children's mouths first!

And Qiaoqiao and Chen Chi each put on a fresh-keeping bag and were tidying up the trash on the ground. Only then did he discover the mobile phone he had set up:

"Oh my!"

He said annoyedly: "I forgot I was live streaming—children!"

Instantly a big face was poked over, and the apology in his eyes could be seen at close range:

"I taught everyone to sell water caltrops today, did you all learn?"

He was a bit embarrassed again: "I didn't teach well just now, I'll teach again when I have a chance next year."

【Too many slots to fill, I don't know where to start for a moment】

【I'll say it, I'll say it! Qiaoqiao, why don't you sell us water caltrops】

【Do I look like someone who can sell water caltrops? You should sell your water caltrops to me and let me try】

【Oh my mom! The anchor finally appeared, and he's quite handsome... but is every live broadcast this style?】

【You in front, what style are you asking about? This kind of live broadcast that often forgets fans?】

【Or this kind of live broadcast where fans are self-service and no one replies to the barrage?】

【Or is it the live broadcast where I only see a hand counting water caltrops back and forth, which made me sleep?】

【You guys complain so much, why do you still insist on being fans】

【Mainly, having said that, Qiaoqiao's live broadcast has a little situation, but he really has me in his heart】

【Really? I don't believe it, otherwise how come you didn't buy water caltrops...】

【Why is everyone selling water caltrops tonight? Eating barbecue here, someone next to me said they just went to the alley to grab water caltrops, selling 1 yuan for 3, hahaha, they really dare to ask】

【?!!!!!!】

【You in front, do you know what you are talking about?!!】

【Everyone else went to grab it, you didn't go, you smart aleck?】

【Except for Qiaoqiao, who has the confidence to sell this kind of small water caltrop for 1 yuan for 3】

【Nonsense, this price must have been set by our sister!】

【You in front! Address! Did you hear that? Give me the address! Treat it as a task!】

【Exactly! I have to talk to you, share the address!】

The barrage was miserable.

But Qiaoqiao had already gathered the trash baskets, and at this moment, he lifted his phone and talked to himself:

"The water caltrops are sold out, I won't teach everyone to sell water caltrops tonight, I'll teach everyone to eat barbecue."

Thinking about it, this sentence wasn't quite right, so he changed his words: "I'll eat barbecue for everyone to see."

Live broadcast room:???

Be a human being?!

Good heavens! It's 11 o'clock in the middle of the night! Showing them this, what, are you rushing the KPI for takeout today?

The barrage stagnated for a moment.

I don't know if they want to open the takeout software synchronously, or check the refrigerator for something to eat first...

However, before they could react, Qiaoqiao had already set up the phone stand in front of the barbecue grill.

This angle was chosen before. Now that it was set up, the meat skewers sizzling with oil appeared in the lens, the lamb kidneys that were a little burnt, and the lamb oil that seemed to smell the fragrance and satisfaction of grease even through the screen...

Someone next to him didn't know who took a lettuce leaf and wrapped a piece of crispy pork belly with a slightly burnt feeling...

Further ahead, someone was holding a Mixue ice cup, pouring unknown drinks into it. As the ingredients in the big water pot rolled and collided, one could vaguely see the green plums that were only sold in limited quantities in spring...

Ah ah ah!!!

The live broadcast room was instantly filled with resentment for thirty thousand miles, and saliva flowed like a river.

What's even more excessive is that someone is shouting loudly: "Qiaoqiao! Come and eat the grilled crucian carp! This fish meat is so tender, the fish skin and fish tail are so crispy, super delicious!"

Damn it!

This group of people must be doing it on purpose. Who would describe the taste like this when calling friends! And so loudly, woo woo woo...

They don't believe it!

They are not greedy!

Just as a barrage flew by, someone else shouted: "Eat this lamb chop pot, it's stewed so fragrantly!】

【Chen Chi, come, come over and slice this grilled lamb leg to eat! This layer on the outside is a little burnt, it's the most fragrant time..."

"Oh my, such a big frame, don't be shy, eat more, eat more..."

The saliva of the barrage almost came through the screen. Everyone had only one sentence in their hearts and eyes—

【I'll eat! I'm not shy! I'm also a big guy!】

In short, no matter men, women, old, or young, everyone is a big guy tonight!

And in front of the lens, on the fat, golden, and gradually shrinking lamb kidney, a drop of oil slowly gathered, fell on the charcoal, and burned out a wisp of thin smoke.

The barrage was terrifyingly blank at this moment.

The next moment, countless ones erupted.

Zhang Yanping passed by, glanced at it, and before he could look carefully, he saw the full screen of 【!!!】 and 【slurp slurp】 as well as a large number of repeated vocabulary such as 【Anchor, you are not a human】...

He turned his head and took a bite of the chicken cartilage on the skewer, and then commented:

"This batch of fans is not good! It's only been broadcasting for a while, why are they starting to be unable to stand it? It's not like Qiaoqiao hasn't eaten for them to see..."

While saying loudly: "Guo Dong, hurry up and eat this chicken cartilage! It's grilled so well, it crunches when chewed, tender and tough... delicious, too delicious!"

Guo Dong was burying her head in eating and eating, not noticing that he was also doing bad things. At this moment, she just responded unhappily:

"Eating, eating."

Xin Jun also came to join the fun.

He slowly wrapped the crispy pork belly with perilla leaves in front of the lens, and commented: "I didn't like perilla before, but the quality picked at home is particularly good, and the taste is particularly fragrant."

"This weird taste, wrapped with oily and slightly fresh spicy pork belly, is like the mint leaves in Yunnan rice noodles—a perfect match!"

He praised again: "Master Zhou, your ingredients are really well matched! I've eaten barbecue for so many years, no one can compare."

That's for sure!

Master Xiao Zhou was eating while busy, also with oily mouths, without the style of a gold-medal chef who is worth a lot of money.

"This is the recipe given by my master! In our hotel, they are all gold tongues, and they know how much ingredients are added."

"Besides, ordinary barbecue doesn't give us such good ingredients!"

The materials are good, and the ingredients are also good. Although there is still a difference in the middle, compared to other barbecues on the market that are mainly for profit, it must be better than many.

He turned to praise Old Zhao like a chain lock: "Mr. Zhao, you bought this seasoning well, the quality is very good."

Old Zhao was eating without raising his head, and couldn't help but be complacent when he heard it: "That's a must! When has my Old Zhao's work ever lost face!"

Everyone was lively here, and passers-by occasionally passed by on the roadside, and couldn't help but stop and hesitate for a long time.

Those who were bold went directly to ask, and after getting a negative reply, they looked back three times in one step. After a long time, this short distance hadn't been finished.

There were also some who hesitated for a long time, and in the end, their introverted nature broke out, and they didn't have the courage, and also returned hesitantly.

But looking at the expression on the other party's face through the street lamp, and the particularly obvious barbecue fragrance in the air, Song Dafang swallowed his saliva while jealously thinking:

When they go home at night, they probably have to slap themselves twice when they wake up in the middle of the night, and ask why they didn't have the courage?

But besides this sourness, he had more complex emotions.

The two places are so close, how many guests came just now? That water caltrop sold for so much money in half an hour...

Money!

He had fished for these water caltrops in the pond when he was a child. If the pond and land were really divided, maybe he would have a share of these water caltrops.

But now, the location for making money was taken away by Song Sancheng, and his useless deep mountain and old forest tea tree land couldn't be rented out even if it was cheap.

And just these inconspicuous things, even the speed of selling and the degree of popularity were extraordinary.

It is said that it took half an hour to sell out, but in fact, more time was spent by customers waiting patiently. The uneaten barbecue was not taken care of, just waiting for the children to count one by one!

They are all doing business, and the things sold in his hardware store are all things that everyone must use if they want to buy them.

But for 10 or 8 yuan, the other party has to grind the price for a long time.

What's more, online shopping prices are so cheap these days, the prices in his hardware store are becoming more and more transparent, and the profits are even thinner.

Seeing others, especially acquaintances or juniors, making money easily, how can there be no sense of gap in the heart?

And the sense of gap in his heart is by no means limited to this.

In fact, as he broke up with his family, although he doesn't have to think of ways to be filial to his parents at home in the future, he doesn't have to be filial, but his wife Mao Li needs to.

The daughter-in-law also needs to.

The couple has no other skills, but they are very good at asking for money from the elderly. Every time the other party returns to her mother's house, listening to everyone's praise, although happy, but real money is spent, and Song Dafang doesn't feel good in his heart.

The daughter-in-law uses the excuse of taking care of the children and has no income, and cries poor every few days, and then digs a little from their hands.

What holiday fees, cigarette and alcohol money, I don't know if the other party really took it back to be filial to her mother's family, or if the couple ate and drank it.

But in short, the shop has been open for half a year now, and in the end, the savings are only a few thousand yuan!

And after earning less money, the family often picked on his business, and those advantages that used to make money have now become shortcomings.

But all this is different from what Song Dafang imagined!

Detached from parents who are gradually aging and have more illnesses, no need to worry about their old age, medical care, care, no need to close the shop and go home for the New Year, and no need to spend money to buy things.

No need to take care of his brother's daughter and disabled son...

He should have thrown off a heavy burden.

But now, why isn't it like that?

He thought of the exclusive good goods supplied by Song Tan's farming, various secret recipe varieties given by domestic and foreign agricultural research institutes, and the grand occasion of hiring dozens or hundreds of people during busy farming seasons...

In the middle of the night, he leaned against his shop door, looking at the group of people eating barbecue happily from afar, his expression a bit dazed.

Old Zhao was startled when he saw it at a glance:

Oh my! Why is this person standing there?

Didn't he just not earn 200 yuan? Is it necessary? It's not like he didn't give it... he was the first to look for it!

?? Coming, coming!!! 4000 words today is also good!

? Grandly introduce Tanzi's new book to everyone—

? Tanzi's "The Mistress of the Red Chamber" travels to become You Shi of the Red Chamber, the incompetent and lustful husband Jia Zhen, the cowardly stepson who is trampled and spat on by servants...

? The opening is a disaster!

? You know Tanzi's strength, just click, it's solid!
