  Chapter 11 First Income

   "Boss, how do you sell your crayfish?"

  Among the couple who walked into the barbecue booth, the man wearing Adidas short-sleeved casually looked at the dishes in the wooden cabinet, but most of his eyes were on the crayfish exuding an attractive fragrance in the pot.

   This taste is much more fragrant than the one he ate in Wuzhou before.

   "Our headless crayfish, thirty-five pots, about a catty."

  The price was set long ago, and Zhou Anan did not hesitate, and directly quoted a price, believing that the well-dressed man in front of him is fully capable of spending.

   I didn't expect that someone would want to order crayfish at the first opening of the business. It seems that tomorrow's vegetable money will be settled.

  In his previous life, when he was in the crayfish shop, the market price of crayfish was twenty-five pounds, but there were at least ninety-one pots of crayfish in the shop. Now the price he set is not too high. Compared horizontally, the price/performance ratio is not much different.

   "Well, Xiao Xiao, what else do you want to eat?"

  There was no hesitation about the price of crayfish, and the young man who was obviously not short of money asked the girl beside him.

   He ate a lot of crayfish in Wuzhou City. In the three months since he was transferred to this small county town of Lizhou City, he has never eaten crayfish.

   "This, this, this."

  After ordering a few dishes, the girl's hands continued to hold the man's arm.

  After the girl finished ordering, the young man continued to order a few more dishes, and then sat down.

   When he was seated, the young man picked up the paper towels on the table and wiped the table, looked up at the underside of the paper towels, nodded slightly, and continued to wipe the table and stools of himself and the girl.

   "Do you have drinks here?"

   "Not yet, but we can help you buy what you need."

   "Here's a big bottle of Queer."

"OK."

  Let Wang Rong go to Aunt Li's cake shop to buy drinks. Zhou Anan, who originally planned to let customers pick up food by themselves, quickly put a few dishes ordered by the girl into an iron plate covered with plastic wrap.

   In the previous few times to attract customers, Zhou Anan still had to do it himself, and Wang Rong could also learn a little bit.

   Anyway, I'm not busy right now.

   When there are many people, this open wooden cabinet will come in handy. It can completely allow customers to pick up dishes by themselves, and also allow customers to see the freshness of the ingredients at the first time.

   "The crayfish is here, please wait for other dishes."

  I had cooked a little more crayfish before, so Zhou Anan brought a plate full of crayfish to the table immediately, and after telling Wang Rong a few words, he quickly lit a fire and burned charcoal.

  Because of limited funds, he didn’t have the money to buy an electric fan to induce smoke, so Zhou An’an could only manually fan the small fan bought for 1 yuan, so as not to blow the smoke to the table and disturb the customer’s dining mood.

  Brush oil, roll over, add ingredients, and soon, several kinds of barbecue with good color and fragrance are freshly baked.

   In his spare time in the previous life, Zhou Anan often participated in the self-service barbecue with his friends. In order to get close to the beauties in his company, he spent a lot of energy practicing skills.

  During several family barbecue activities organized by counseling institutions, Zhou Anan won the favor of the students' sisters with his skills, but there was no beautiful woman he was interested in.

  For the sake of integrity and character, and for the reputation of the tutoring institution, he rejected the invitations of several crushes.

   Well, it's a bit far-fetched, anyway, Zhou An'an is very proficient in barbecue technology, which is why he dared to open a barbecue stall.

   Without diamonds, how dare you do porcelain work.

"Please enjoy."

   Serving a plate of barbecue, Zhou Anan looked at the few remaining crayfish on the other party's table, and gave himself thirty-six likes with satisfaction.

  Succeeded, it seems that the taste is quite recognized by customers, and his previous life's craftsmanship has not fallen behind.

   "Boss, another plate of crayfish."

   Didn't care about the price at all, the young man pointed to the few remaining crayfish on the plate and said.

   "Okay, but it will take thirty minutes."

  Although there were more than a catty of crayfish in the pot, Zhou Anan added with a smile, thinking that neither he nor Wang Rong had dinner.

   "It's okay, it can be digested just right."

   Regarding this, the young man said that he could wait.

   Crayfish will only taste after cooking for a long time.

   If the taste of the next pot is not bad, this place can become the first choice for supper in the future.

"Hold on."

   Zhou Anan, who turned around and went back, took out the remaining crayfish in the pot. By the way, he took the oil pan that was put aside earlier to the gas stove, and poured in about a catty of crayfish.

  If you count the weight before shelling, it is also a catty and a half.

  Conscience businessman, Zhou An'an was almost moved by himself.

   "Eat first."

   Ask Wang Rong to serve the first pot of extra crayfish for dinner, and Zhou Anan continues to tinker with the crayfish.

   Waiting for the crayfish to roll in the soup, Zhou Anan also found time to sit down and eat dinner.

  Without disposable gloves, Zhou Anan eats lobsters very quickly, which is achieved by practicing alone for many years.

  Even if Wang Rong ate first, the lobster shells in front of the two were inversely proportional, and Zhou Anan killed at least three-fifths of them.

   ". A total of 102.5 yuan, you just give 100."

  When settling accounts, Zhou Anan grandly erased a fraction.

  After this table, the most expensive items are the crayfish and the big bottle of queer. The rest of the vegetables and meat skewers add up to only five or six yuan, and the profit is close to 80 yuan.

   Barbecue industry is really exciting.

"Ok."

  Handed a hundred-yuan bill to Zhou Anan, and the young man who didn't care about the price walked away with the girl.

"are you full?"

  Seeing off the first big customer, Zhou Anan asked Wang Rong with a smile.

  Earlier, he let the opponent eat by himself first, but Wang Rong always followed him to fight, which made him very satisfied.

  Even if you are an old classmate, if you are lazy, you won't be able to stay with them for long.

"not yet."

   "Then eat some more."

   Zhou Anan, who was free, grilled a few bunches of vegetables, and the two sat down together to make up for a late dinner.

   "An An, where are your parents?"

   "My dad and the others are a little busy these days, let me top it first, anyway, I can also barbecue."

   "I can't tell, you are so awesome."

   "Average, the third in the world."

   "Anzi, isn't there something wrong with our business?"

   Sitting bored on a small stool and fiddled with crayfish, Wang Rong looked at the empty barbecue stall and then at the crowded crowd not far away, feeling worried.

  Although there were a few people who came to dine before, they didn't consume much, and they probably didn't make much money.

  Wang Rong felt an inexplicable sense of urgency when he thought of Zhou An'an's family spending a monthly salary of 2,000 yuan to hire him.

  It’s okay for the other party to make money, but if he loses money, Wang Rong will definitely feel sorry for paying him such a high salary.
