Return To 1998

It was a beautiful day, there was no rain this afternoon, and there was still no sign of rain in the evening, so Xu Tongdao and Xu Tonglin set out on time.

When the brothers pushed the broken tricycle out of the alley, Tongdao Xu raised his eyes and glanced at the direction where they set up the stall every day.

The booths of the long-haired man and Fatty Lu have been set up, and only the booth of the bald-headed Zhang has not been set up, but it is already set up.

After taking two glances, he withdrew his gaze and pushed Po San Lun towards the small newsstand across the road.

Like a lonely geese.

...

Meanwhile, the long-haired man's booth was there.

Xi Xiaoqian is enthusiastically recommending the grilled eggplant that their booth officially launched today to the two male customers who just sat down.

Our grilled eggplant tastes amazing, really! It's very fragrant and delicious. Would you like to try one of the two big brothers? Really! My brother has been studying this grilled eggplant for a long time! Besides, It's not expensive, just one dollar a share, I promise that as long as the two big brothers try, they will definitely not regret it...

Xi Xiaoqian's mouth is very neat, and her clear voice is not annoying when she introduces it.

However, the male guest on her left frowned and asked, A dollar of eggplant is not expensive, isn't it? Why don't you go grab it?

The male guest on her right side echoed: That's right! How much is a pound of eggplant in the vegetable market, do you think we don't know? A roasted eggplant for a dollar is really too expensive! Don't don't~!

Xi Xiaoqian smiled and was not discouraged, It's really not expensive. If you don't believe it, the two eldest brothers can go and find out. Others sell them for one yuan, five yuan, or even two yuan a share...

As she said that, she subconsciously looked at Tongdao Xu and the place where they set up their stalls every day, and wanted to take them as an example and tell these two guests that the grilled eggplants at that house were sold for two yuan.

result……

Turning to look, the place is still empty.

Xi Xiaoqian frowned slightly, and secretly said: Those two guys haven't set up yet?

Just as he was about to withdraw his gaze, he accidentally caught a glimpse of Xu Tongdao and Xu Tonglin pushing a cart across the road.

But looking at the direction they were pushing their carts, it was dozens of meters away from where they recently set up their stalls every day.

At that time, Xi Xiaoqian was stunned.

--what's the situation? So far away, can you get lost?

...

Not long after, Xi Xiaoqian wrote down the dishes and beer ordered by the two men just now on paper, tore off the menu that she had just written, came to her brother Xi Dongyang, and put the menu on the small table beside Xi Dongyang. , Xi Xiaoqian said in a low voice, Brother, look over there! Those two guys' booths went to that newsstand over there today, and the old place where they set up their stalls every day didn't come.

Xi Dongyang's face, as always, lacked expression and was indifferent. Hearing the words, he turned his head to look in the direction of the newsstand several dozen meters away.

Sure enough, I saw Xu Tongdao and Xu Tonglin setting up a stall there, busy moving tables, stools, ovens, etc. from the car.

There was originally a small newsstand alone, and no one set up a stall there. It was a big open space, and the two boys even set up a stall there tonight.

Seeing this scene, Xi Dongyang frowned and said softly, This is indeed a bit abnormal, your brain is flooded, right? You don't get together with people in business, but stay far away, forget it! Leave them alone! Wait for them. There is not much business there, and it will come back naturally.”

After finishing speaking, Xi Dongyang withdrew his gaze and continued to bake the things in front of him.

Xi Xiaoqian looked at the newsstand again, and said with a chuckle, It must be my brain flooded, by the way, it did rain this morning, hehe!

The implication is that Xu Tongdao's brain is the water that comes in when it rains in the morning.

Simply plausible and convincing.

...

Those who set up stalls like to look around, looking for potential customers.

No, it didn't take long, when Fatty Lu from the stall next to him was looking at both ends of the road,

I also accidentally saw Xu Tongdao and Xu Tonglin who had just set up their stalls.

Seeing that these two boys took the initiative to go to the place where the birds don't poop this evening, Fatty Lu thought he had read it wrong, so he subconsciously blinked his eyes, looked at it carefully, and then burst out laughing, Children are young. Children! Do things that I can't understand. It's because you think your business is too good recently, and you deliberately hide from Jingjing? Chi...

Shortly after he found out, the bald Zhang, who was adjacent to his booth, also noticed the location of Xu Tongdao's booth tonight.

Mainly because as time went by, the two boys who had been placed next to his booth every day recently hadn't appeared, which made him more and more puzzled.

I was still wondering if the two boys were sick or not. With a pair of eyes, I subconsciously looked around, and I hoped that the two boys would really leave the booth tonight. It’s better not to come here in the future. Stalled.

When he saw Xu Tongdao and Xu Tonglin setting up a stall at the newsstand tonight, Bald Zhang had a sense of surprise that everything he wanted to accomplish.

He didn't care what the two boys were thinking about tonight, and went to such a far place to set up a stall, anyway, this was something he liked to hear.

He was uncharacteristically not sarcastic, but with a cheerful expression on his face, anyone could tell that he was in a very good mood tonight, very good.

...

Tongdao Xu just used a patch panel to connect a wire from the newsstand, and together with Xu Tonglin, moved out the display cabinet that was originally leaning against the wall of the newsstand and placed it in a conspicuous place beside the sidewalk.

Then, together with Xu Tonglin, they put the skewered meat dishes, vegetarian dishes, and cold dishes into the display cabinet.

It has been a few days since his stall started selling cold dishes.

At present, there are not many varieties of cold dishes here, mainly salted edamame, spiced peanuts, chicken feet with pickled pepper, cold stinky dry salad, and pickled cucumbers.

These cold dishes are not expensive for him, they are all fifty cents a piece.

Of course, the only meat dish among them, chicken feet with pickled peppers, is a little less for fifty cents a serving.

Before everything was put into the display cabinet, Xu Tongdao went to find a brick oven, ready to start a charcoal fire, and casually instructed Xu Tonglin to remember to bring a few bottles of beer to the display cabinet later.

Yes!

Starting tonight, his stall finally has cold beer on sale.

At this point, he estimates that he will be able to attract a lot of guests.

After all, the other three barbecue stalls have no cold beer.

The weather is getting hotter and hotter, eating barbecue, no cold beer, no soul!

...

When the two of them set up a stall here, Auntie Wang, the proprietor of the newsstand, came out curiously and stood aside while nibbling on melon seeds and watching with a smile.

From time to time, I asked two questions curiously.

Then……

When Xu Tongdao made a charcoal fire and grilled a bunch of mutton skewers on the stove to the sizzling sound, the oil dripped, and the aroma was overflowing, Aunt Wang couldn't help it, and subconsciously licked her lips and went to the oven. Taking a few steps closer, he said with a smile, Xiao Xu! Your mutton skewers are so delicious! So, how do you sell them? Give me a few skewers! I'll give you the money!
