Whose farming family has the male protagonist giving three piglets as a gift at the beginning?

As for opening a store in Shangjing? Su Ziling had considered it, but Shangjing was a place where every inch of land was worth a lot of money, and the forces were too complicated and intertwined. As a nominal agricultural promotion envoy with no real power, she really didn't have the confidence to open a store there.

Besides, with Shen Xingye in Beijing, it doesn't matter if he sells the products, and she will just be responsible for being the source manufacturer, making small profits but quick turnover.

Besides, her energy is really limited, and these workshops alone are enough to keep her busy.

The valley was left entirely to Su Zizhong and his wife. The child had learned to walk, and luckily he was very well behaved and liked to be with Grandma Su, so they left him at home with her.

The restaurants and hotels in the county are looked after by Su Yongan and others, so she doesn't have to worry too much. She just needs to check the accounts every month.

There was also the newly opened barbecue restaurant, and just as she had expected, business was booming after it opened.

All kinds of grilled meats, all kinds of vegetables, as well as tofu, sweet potato skins, etc., basically everything can be grilled.

Put it on the charcoal and grill until both sides are golden brown, then brush it with some oil and grill it until it sizzles and the skin is crispy, then sprinkle it with fennel powder and her special barbecue seasoning, and add a little mushroom powder to enhance the flavor.

The smell was really overpowering, and they didn't open during the day, only in the evening.

In the evening when the sun sets, the temperature is just right, and with a slight breeze, the smell spreads all over the street. It really lives up to the saying, the fragrance spreads for ten miles.

On the same street, even if you don’t go out, the smell can still reach your home. I could still tolerate it at first, but since it started, after tasting it once, let alone tolerating it, everyone automatically lines up at the door of the store when the time comes.

As the sun sets and the breeze is not dry, the women eat grilled skewers and drink papaya juice while the men take a sip of wine.

The skewers are grilled with a sizzling oil and sprinkled with barbecue ingredients. When you take a bite, the skin is slightly crispy, and the inside is juicy and full of fat. Then take a sip of wine and the aroma will make you dizzy.

No one has ever heard of this way of eating, let alone seen it. The most important thing is that they come up with new products very quickly.

Before she got tired of the grilled skewers in front of her, she started to eat them wrapped in vegetable leaves. She would put a large piece of pork belly that was roasted golden on both sides in fresh cabbage leaves, and then add some garlic slices or green onions, and some pickled shredded pickled radish or cucumber, wrap it up, and stuff it into her mouth in one bite.

There are vegetables, meat, pickled radish, and garlic slices. Your mouth is filled to the brim and you feel super satisfied. The point of this way of eating is that no matter how much you eat, you will never get tired of it.

Not long after this dish was served, they added small pancakes. The pancakes were rolled very thin, like paper. The roasted meat was dipped in a special sauce and a few green onions were added, which gave it a different taste.

At this time of year, people usually go to teahouses to drink tea and listen to storytellers, or go to pubs, order a plate of peanuts, two taels of pork head, and a jar of wine, and chat with friends.

But nowadays, no one goes to these places anymore, and everyone goes to barbecue restaurants.

In the early days, Su Ziling was in charge of the barbecue restaurant himself and took in a few apprentices. After they had mastered the skills, he taught them how to make barbecue skewers.

These people were also found with the help of Lu Yan. They were a bit older and were retired veterans.

Fearing that they would not be able to handle the work, Su Ziling still found a few teenagers to help with carrying the dishes, and two aunts were responsible for washing, scrubbing, and skewering the meat.

The two aunts were looking for people from nearby villages, all of whom were honest and hardworking.

Several old men also had some ideas. After roasting for a few days, they made a suggestion to Su Ziling. They could add a storyteller on the side so that everyone could listen while eating and it would not be too boring. Besides, it was not expensive to hire a storyteller, only two or three hundred coins a month.

After all, he doesn't have to talk all the time. He can just come here every evening and talk for an hour or so. During the day, he can go to other teahouses to talk. In this way, he can earn two dollars.

Su Ziling agreed. She originally thought it was unnecessary, eating barbecue and drinking alcohol, which would be noisy and probably not many people would listen. But Lu Yan thought they could try it for a month first.

Su Ziling did not stop them and asked someone to invite a storyteller. Unexpectedly, the effect was quite good and the barbecue shop became more lively.

Word spread quickly, and even people in nearby counties heard about it.

What big county towns have the most are wealthy playboys. Last year's mushroom hotpot attracted a wave of people, and the dried mushroom fried rice that followed made Yongchang County a little famous.

As soon as they heard that there was a very popular barbecue shop in Yongchang County, which they had never heard of before, many people rushed over early in the morning. As a result, when they arrived at the shop, they found that the door was not open.

Several people looked at the closed door and were dumbfounded.

"Are you from out of town?"

"Yes, excuse me, I heard that there is a very famous barbecue shop here. Is it here?"

"It's here. Look, it says on it, Su Ji BBQ Restaurant. If there's any new and exotic food in this county, just go to Su Ji. Only they can make so many strange and bizarre foods that you've never heard of."

"So they are closed? It's already noon (11:00-13:00), why aren't they open yet?"

"You guys came here specifically for the barbecue? Then you came too early. It's normal for you outsiders not to know. They usually start barbecuing in the evening."

"You can walk along this street and have a black bean hotpot, or grilled fish, or a mushroom hotpot. Mushrooms are just out these past two days, so the mushroom hotpot is very fresh. After dinner, have some ice jelly, drink some papaya water, or have a bowl of sweet white wine with boiled eggs or glutinous rice balls."

"After you finish eating, go out for a walk to help digest the food. Then you can come back here in time and it will be almost time to open the door."

"You can order a pot of wine, which is one of their specialties, and pork belly and sweet potato skin, which are special and one-of-a-kind. You can order whatever other dishes you like, but I suggest you order some cabbage leaves to wrap them up and eat."

This person is obviously a regular customer. He can talk about what to eat and how to eat it.

"Okay, thanks, brother."

A few people were somewhat unwilling. They had come here with great difficulty but didn't get to eat. However, after listening to that person's words, they thought they could go have a mushroom hotpot first.

After all, this is a seasonal game delicacy and tastes best in this season. Although there is mushroom soup in winter, the taste of dried mushrooms is always inferior to that of fresh mushrooms.

A few of them took a detour to eat mushroom hotpot and drank some sweet water. Then they went to book an inn, listened to the man, went out for a stroll, and went to the barbecue shop in the evening.

They thought they had arrived early enough, but unexpectedly, when they arrived, the door was already crowded with people.

"Oh my goodness, is this a famine?"

"I thought we were early enough, but I didn't expect there were people even earlier."
