Gourmet: Midnight Vending-Chapter 263 - 261: When It Comes to Business, Jingzhou People Do It Best
The good thing about a big city is that you never have to worry about not finding professionals no matter what you’re doing.
After prying open some oysters in the afternoon, Chen Mo went to a few supermarkets, but none had the grill he wanted. Eventually, he simply bought a two-meter-long grill and sought out a small shop that could do welding.
In the middle of the grill, he welded five thick iron wires. This way, there was about a five-centimeter gap between each pair of wires.
He placed the grill for roasting meat on the food cart, and put the grill he prepared in the afternoon outside the cart. After quickly igniting the charcoal with a blowtorch, he placed it in two separate grill slots.
By this time, it was only around nine o’clock.
Unlike skewers, charcoal-grilled oysters have requirements for the heat, but they are not as stringent.
Chen Mo carried a large basin of oysters from the cabinet and left the food cart. The gaps between the iron wires could just hold an oyster snugly.
The oysters were laid out one by one, and a spoon of previously mixed garlic raw material was scooped into each oyster.
Then he went back to the food cart to prepare the skewers.
In fact, all snacks share one trait: as long as the quantity is large enough, they will look incredibly tempting.
On the grill at the front of the food cart, each row held a full twenty oysters, five rows in total—more than a hundred oysters!
Every oyster was gradually enveloped with the garlic raw material, making one’s mouth water just by looking at it.
Meanwhile, Chen Mo spread out lamb skewers on the grill inside the food cart—two hundred skewers in total!
Good or bad taste aside, just the sight alone made the sisters who were thinking of buying Lantern Shadow Beef gulp in saliva.
Three minutes, one side of the lamb skewers was cooked.
Another three minutes, the other side was done.
When Chen Mo rotated the skewers with both hands, causing fierce flames to leap up, he naturally drew another wave of exclamations.
"What kind of skill is this!"
"Damn, Fire Cloud Evil God?"
"Amazing, watching such a high-level performance while having a barbecue—Boss Xiao Chen really knows what he’s doing with cooking."
"He’s definitely onto something; I’ve lived so long and never seen skewers roasted like this!"
Cherishing these exclamations and praises, Chen Mo was long accustomed to it.
Being the first customer to order food, He Ziheng had already started live streaming. Though a few fans were watching last night, they didn’t become loyal followers.
When He Ziheng started his broadcast, there were only about a dozen people in the live room, many of whom were long-time fans from the Lulu Intelligence fan group.
[Shanshui Hall Xiao Hu: Bro, your live stream isn’t effective! I have an idea—do you want to try it?]
[The Heavens Reward Diligence Boss Fang: You can listen to Xiao Hu’s suggestion; he was very adept at leveraging his strengths to boost sales back when he was at the bridge.]
[Brother Dun: Forget it, Boss Zhu has already started barbecuing; what strategy can he have? I just checked the map, and his place is full of barbecue stands, okay?]
[Old Zhao: Anyone up for a trip to Chengdu? I can eat spicy now!]
Seeing someone offering a suggestion, He Ziheng eagerly asked, "Bro, tell me how to do it? I’ve been streaming for days and still can’t keep people around."
Thousands of miles away, He Chunming smiled happily at the phone screen, "Xiao Na, tell him how to play."
Gold Medal Salesperson, Xiao Na!
She took He Boss’s phone, thought for a moment, and quickly started typing.
[He Chunming: Isn’t your sister-in-law right there with you? Let her assist in your training, get a hundred oysters, men’s refueling station, women’s beauty parlor. Do some kind of training, have your sister-in-law feed you an oyster, shouldn’t that add entertainment value?]
After reading the comment, He Ziheng’s muscles involuntarily trembled slightly.
Is this appropriate?
No wonder Xiao Na is a gold medal salesperson, she seemed to have foreseen He Ziheng’s concerns. Using He Boss’s phone, she quickly sent another new message, but this time in the Intelligence fan group, not the live room.
[He Chunming: Just tell your sister-in-law that there’s a brilliant idea to turn around the gym’s current state. After that, you just... no need to say more, those who understand will understand.]
Hmm...
Carefully pondering over this matter, combined with the things he heard Cao Tianrui muttering when passing the bar last night, a ridiculous idea suddenly formed in He Ziheng’s mind.
"Sister Fang."
He still didn’t dare to address her as sister-in-law, "Sister Fang, I have an idea that might be able to turn around our gym’s current situation, take a look..."
Gu Fang and Liu Yuerong both gathered around He Ziheng. When it came to matters concerning the gym and yoga studio, the two were particularly attentive.
He Ziheng pulled the two aside and told Gu Fang his plan in detail.
Across the screen, Boss He Chunming watched the live stream with a smile, "These little tricks are what we played with back in the day, nothing special."
"Doing business, it still has to be us Jingzhou people, haha." Xiao Na also felt she was quite the genius businesswoman!
Every idea she came up with was so unbeatable.
After hearing He Ziheng’s plan, Gu Fang looked at him steadily, "Are you sure it’s not some nonsense?"
"I swear to God!" He Ziheng was most afraid of this.
Thinking to himself, I can’t even handle your sister, would I dare try something with you?
Gu Fang and Liu Yuerong exchanged a glance; both clearly had an interest in He Ziheng’s plan.
After all, the love stall had been open for two days; one couldn’t say it had no impact on Jia Mei Gym? It certainly did, as Jia Mei Gym had now turned into a barbecue dining spot.
Nonetheless, did it bring any benefits to the Yuan Dongli Fitness Center yoga studio?
Absolutely not.
The rich sisters were still the same; only now, the people on Jia Mei’s side didn’t have time to flirt with them. Once the trend passes, they’ll flirt as usual.
What will we do then?
"I’ll trust you this once. If this doesn’t work, I’ll have Gu Jing break up with you!"
Hmm... He Ziheng found it hard to believe. Was Sister Fang that ruthless?
"Fine!"
Gu Fang and Liu Yuerong both nodded, but it wasn’t the right time to announce this yet.
Of course, the reason was simple—Boss Xiao Chen’s barbecue was done!
Now that both sides had reached a cooperative relationship, He Ziheng also gave up his fifty skewers and a hundred oysters.
Gu Fang went over to the food cart, "Boss Xiao Chen, we’ll take it all!"
"Can you finish it?" Chen Mo was a bit surprised, but when he looked up, he realized it was unnecessary to ask.
Besides Gu Fang and Liu Yuerong, there were also about ten rich sisters from the yoga studio. Don’t be fooled by their petite figures and fashionable looks—they didn’t hold back when eating.
Chen Mo sprinkled cumin and chili powder on the lamb skewers, then stepped out of the food cart to the outer grill.
He carefully ladled the well-prepared sauce into the sizzling oyster shells being roasted.
As the garlic and small chili entered the shell, the oyster inside instantly turned a slight red, visibly mixing with the oyster juice.
"Oh my, wouldn’t adding a lump of vermicelli in the middle make it amazing?"
Chen Mo glanced at the thirty-eight-year-old auntie.
He couldn’t quite tell if she was metaphorically driving or literally driving.
But there’s no denying that as the raw ingredient was grilled, the oyster became infused with the aroma of garlic, and once cooked, the delightful flavor was heightened further.
The charcoal-grilled oysters were officially ready!
As usual, he tasted first. Chen Mo used chopsticks to casually pick up the oyster meat from the shell for a closer look.
Tsk... no wonder they say, it’s a men’s fuel station, a women’s beauty parlor.
Wouldn’t eating this make you feel euphoric?
