Chapter 635 It’s Him (4)
Zhouji Barbecue's business is not as prosperous as the former Bafu Restaurant, but they can still make two or three taels of silver every day. Their family is already very satisfied, but Caiwei said that they want to make their family's business prosperous again, even more prosperous than the former Bafu Restaurant.
For this reason, she not only took out a bag of essential barbecue seasonings-cumin and gave it to the Zhou family, but also prepared to add a project to "Zhouji Barbecue"-fried meat skewers!
It was time for dinner, and twos and threes of guests came to the restaurant one after another. Most of them were old repeat customers. Caiwei saw that there were guests coming, and immediately lit the big pot, poured half a pot of oil into the pot, and started burning.
On the stove, there were two large trays. The first tray was filled with various meat skewers, and the second tray was filled with her own seasonings with sesame, cumin, salt noodles, chili powder, etc.
The oil pan soon boiled, boiling, and bubbling.
Caiwei tied an apron and put the skewers of meat into the pot. While frying, she shouted: "Fried skewers, fried skewers, all kinds of fried skewers, five cents each, come and try, come and buy..."
The crisp shouting and the aroma from the oil pan soon attracted several passers-by. They gathered around Caiwei's oil pan curiously, watching Caiwei scoop out the fried skewers with a strainer, wrap the bottom of the skewers with a piece of oil paper, and roll them in the tray with seasonings.
Suddenly, the skewers with oil stars were added with sesame seeds, chili powder, cumin powder and other seasonings, which looked very tempting.
"Come, girl, give me a skewer to try!"
An old man took out five cents and gave it to Caiwei. Caiwei took the money with a smile and handed over a skewer of fried meat with oil.
When the old man put the food in his mouth, his eyes narrowed into two crescents: "Well, delicious! I've lived so long, and I've never eaten such delicious food!"
As soon as the old man said this, someone couldn't help but say: "Girl, give me five skewers, I want ten skewers..."
For a while, Caiwei's side became lively, and she was surrounded by people. Caiwei was busy greeting guests and frying skewers at the same time...
Jiujin looked at her melancholy, feeling sour in his heart. If Wei'er hadn't been engaged, it would be great!
When it was closing time at night, Caiwei also closed the stall. They roughly calculated that the restaurant's income today was four taels of silver, and Caiwei's stall income was more than one tael of silver, a total of six taels. Aunt Zhou was very happy, and Uncle Zhou was also very happy. With the cumin provided by Caiwei, plus the extra fried meat skewers, the family business will definitely be more prosperous!
Only Jiujin felt sad. He didn't care whether the family business was prosperous or how much money he made. He just hoped that Sister Wei'er could stay, accompany him, and guard him, just like when they were little, following behind him like his little tail. In that way, his life would be complete.
However, he also understood that she was getting farther and farther away from him, so far that he couldn't catch up with her even if he spent his whole life. He could only watch her fly higher and higher, farther and farther away...
"Jiujin, what are you daydreaming about? Caiwei helped us make so much more money today, aren't you happy?"
Aunt Zhou touched her stunned son with her elbow, looking at the pairs of broken silver and copper coins on the table, her eyes were only a slit left with a smile.
Jiujin came to his senses, looked around, and found that Caiwei had left at some point, and asked hurriedly: "Where is Sister Wei'er?"
