When the butcher delivered the meat, the store was busy again, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, all four of them, began to help wash the meat, and this time the delivery was twice as much as yesterday's delivery.
As expected, people came to eat before dinner time. The first person to come in was Mr. Qian, who was gathered around the barbecue restaurant the day before the opening.
Mr. Qian also brought his wife and child over. Shopkeeper Zhang arranged for the people to sit down and ordered the waiter to pour tea. The child was estimated to be about three or four years old. His big eyes were wandering around and he was looking at the paintings on the wall curiously.
Mr. Qian ordered one portion of each meat dish, and shopkeeper Zhang suggested: "Mr. Qian, how about adding a vegetable leaf? Wrapping the meat in vegetable leaves will not only relieve the tiredness, but also taste delicious!"
"Oh? Then I'll listen to you. Okay, it's almost time. Let's serve it quickly! I can't wait to try the taste of this barbecue. If I hadn't been delayed by something at noon, I would have been here long ago. And now I am bringing my wife and young son to try it out!"
Shopkeeper Zhang smiled and said: "Then Mr. Qian has come to the right place. You will be satisfied with the taste of our store. However, your young master is still young, so you cannot let him touch the grilling pan. The temperature is very high. In addition, the child may not be able to eat spicy food, so don't sprinkle that red chili pepper."
Master Qian agreed, and shopkeeper Zhang ordered the waiter to serve Master Qian. After all, Mr. Qian came early, they were the only ones on the table, and the food was served very quickly.
After the demonstration of the waiter, and feeling simple, Mrs. Qian started to grill it with her own hands, and while grilling it, she said: "Master, this kind of eating method is really novel, and it's the first time I've done it with my own hands to make food, so don't blame me if it doesn't taste good!"
Mr. Qian said: "What did Madam say? I just want to take you and Xiaozhi out to play. Relax. Let's eat in a different way today!"
Na Xiaozhi suddenly said: "Mom, the painting is beautiful, and there are flowers too!"
Mrs. Qian smiled and said: "This painting is good. It doesn't seem to be painted with ink. This is the first time I have seen the paint used in this painting! I don't know what it is made of!"
Mr. Qian said: "That's not easy. If Madam likes it, I'll ask the shopkeeper!" After that, he came to the counter and asked, "Shopkeeper, I would like to ask where you bought the paint used for painting on the walls of your shop. My wife likes it very much and wants to buy some to take home and use for herself!"
Shopkeeper Zhang had already received instructions from his master not to reveal that the painting was made by the young lady, so he politely said: "Mr. Qian, I'm afraid you are disappointed. We didn't buy this paint. It was painted by a wandering painter we hired. My master also likes this paint. But the painter was very precious. He said he got it by chance. He took the money and left. We don't know where he is now. However, his accent does not sound like that of a local, so it would be difficult to find him."
Mr. Qian said with some disappointment: "I see, thank you shopkeeper for informing me." After saying that, he returned to his seat and told his wife the news.
Mrs. Qian also looked disappointed after hearing this and said: "That's such a pity!"
At this time, the meat on the grilling pan was already exuding fragrance. The boy named Xiaozhi smelled the smell, and a trace of saliva left his mouth and said: "Mom, meat, I want to eat meat!"
Mrs. Qian said with a doting look on her face: "Okay, Zhi'er, don't move around. Mom will be ready soon." When the meat was bubbling, she knew it was done. She deliberately took out the meat without the pepper, put it on a plate, blew on it, and then fed it into Xiaozhi's mouth when it was no longer hot.
The little boy took the meat into his mouth and chewed it. His eyes lit up and he shouted: "Mom, it's delicious! I want more!"
Mrs. Qian smiled and said: "Zhi'er has always been the pickiest eater, but he actually likes eating this barbecue so much. It seems to be really delicious." She has been taking care of her son and has not been able to take a bite by herself.
Seeing that his wife was busy with the children, Mr. Qian had no time to eat, so he took a piece of meat, cooled it and handed it to Mrs. Qian's mouth and said: "Madam, you can try it too, it won't be hot."
Mrs. Qian's face turned red. She didn't expect her husband to do such an intimate act in public. She subconsciously glanced around, and when she saw no one was looking at them, she opened her mouth and took the meat into her mouth.
Her eyes lit up and she said: "It tastes really good. It's delicious. I didn't expect that someone like me, who doesn't know how to cook, would roast the meat so deliciously." She felt that she really had a sense of accomplishment.
Mr. Qian also tasted a piece and praised it: "It's not bad. I usually eat the same food at home, and got tired of it, so it's time for a change of taste!"
Mrs. Qian said: "Then let's eat here more often in the future, okay?"
Mr. Qian smiled and said: "Just listen to Madam!" The family of three happily ate barbecue.
Qibao saw the actions of Mr. Qian and his family from beginning to end, and smiled knowingly. Looking at their clothes, he must have good family conditions. It is rare that Mr. Qian is so kind to his wife. From their interaction, it can be seen that they are very in love.
In the future, Qibao will find a husband that is absolutely not allowed to have any mistresses, Otherwise she will castrate him. Then she will go far away, but if she really couldn't find one, then it would be fine to live alone. But she would definitely not be able to avoid the nagging from her family. In this era, women get married early, but she didn't want to get married so early!
She was shocked, she was only five years old now, why did she want to do so much? Getting married was still far away from her! She can't be so mature in her thinking.
"Qibao, what are you thinking about? You don't pay attention to me when I call you!" Wang asked.
Qibao said: "Grandma, I didn't hear you. What's wrong?"
Mrs. Wang said: "I want to ask you if you want to fill your stomach. When there are more guests, you won't have time to eat!"
Qibao said: "Grandma, I'm not hungry yet, you can eat."
Mrs. Wang did not advise her, but would leave a portion for her granddaughter later, so she could eat it when she was hungry!
By the time the family finished eating, customers were arriving one after another, and the store was busy. However, after a while, all the private rooms in the hall were full, and there was still a queue at the door.
Many of the noon guests came with their families and friends.
For a while, there were the sounds of guests chatting and the sizzling of barbecue. Those who came here for the first time were full of praise for their food. There were many literati who studied poetry while grilling meat. It was really comfortable.
It was getting dark gradually, the barbecue restaurant was brightly lit, and it was still full of customers.
After about the second watch, the guests began to leave one after another. After the last table was gone, everyone was too tired to move. This was more people than at noon.
After the clerk cleaned up the store, Xu's family all sat together to see how much they had earned during the night. After calculating, shopkeeper Zhang took a breath and said: "Tonight we earned a total of 1100 taels!"
The Xu family all gasped, and Wang said: "So much, well, with the lunchtime there are 1,800 taels!"
The three sisters-in-law also opened their mouths in surprise, looking like they couldn't believe it.
Su Chenyu said: "Because it just opened, there will definitely be more. When it stabilizes, there won't be so many."
Qibao also said: "Brother Chenyu is right, so there won't be so many in two days, so everyone should be mentally prepared." The Xu family also calmed down and nodded.
