Food: How did I become a chef when I set up a stall?

At Jiang Feng’s barbecue stall, many people come here at three o’clock in the afternoon and occupy their seats first.

They knew it would take a long time, so they took out their mobile phones early and started playing games together.

Some play Honor of Kings, and some play Eggman Party, which is just the right time to spend time.

A group of people were rubbing their cell phones vigorously.

"You, Li Bai, are collecting Ganoderma lucidum in the wilderness, arrest them quickly!"

"How can I have the equipment to catch people if I don't farm in the jungle?"

"Stop playing with Li Bai and go play with Xiao Luban."

Twenty minutes later

"It's not like you can be a super ghost when you play Luban."

"The monkey on the other side is extremely cruel."

The guests at the table were very lively.

Jiang Feng brought over the oven and prepared various barbecue tools.

Wait a little longer and it's almost time to start baking.

This scene is also strange. Even before the stall opens, the tables are already full.

At first glance, I thought this place was hosting some kind of mobile gaming event.

They're all there playing games.

After four o'clock, when the charcoal fire warmed up, Jiang Feng began to process orders and was busy grilling meat.

The waiter at the nearby slimming restaurant came over early to queue up, bought twenty skewers of various barbecues, and returned to the store with a satisfied bag.

The clerk put the barbecue in the back room, and the landlady tasted it with her.

The beef skewers are large and tight, crispy with a strong meaty aroma, and the taste is explosive.

The landlady took two bites and her face was filled with wonder.

"How are these meat skewers grilled? Why are they different from other barbecues?"

"Barbecue wasn't so delicious before."

The clerk kept eating hard and could only nod his head.

This barbecue is really different from other barbecues.

Eat meat with big mouthfuls, your mouth is filled with the aroma of meat, and the hot barbecue tastes so comfortable.

The proprietress finally understood why Jiang Feng's stall has always been so popular.

The taste is really unforgettable.

A queue quickly formed in front of Jiang Feng's stall.

Some people came here early, but still couldn't get a seat and had to wait.

The surroundings were as lively as ever.

But today seems to be a little different from the past.

In the queue, two people were discussing the stock market.

"The market has fallen like this. This year is more terrifying than the stock market crash. There is no hope."

"My money from stock trading has shrunk by 30%, and I no longer have confidence."

"Thirty percent is fine, but some people have used leverage and lost all their principal."

"Hey, I've heard that many people are like this. This year, instead of cutting the leeks, they're uprooting the leeks!"

They sighed.

At the same time, inside the office building.

A middle-aged man looked at the messages on his mobile phone expressionlessly.

The market collapsed, stock prices plummeted, and he lost all the money he had put in the stock market.

Think of the mortgage and child expenses.

The pressure made him breathless.

He was desperate and already had extreme ideas.

His name is Li Chao, and he no longer has the courage to live at this moment.

When the pressure reaches a certain level, it really takes more courage to live than to die.

"I'm sorry for my wife and children. Maybe it's time to let go."

Li Chao kept thinking in his mind.

At this time, he has reached a dead end, his body's functions have been reduced to the lowest level, and it is difficult to generate positive thoughts in his mind.

The real departure is not to make a big fuss, but to be silent.

"Ugh~"

At this time, he suddenly retched.

He then realized that he hadn't eaten anything all day, and he was so hungry that he felt like vomiting.

"The last meal, I will die a full man."

Li Chao thought secretly.

He went downstairs to eat something.

He felt himself falling into a hazy state, wandering between half asleep and half awake.

Li Chao was at the back of the team by accident.

Because it was just 4:30 in the afternoon, there were not many people lining up.

He followed the team forward, his mind always blank and numb.

I was just thinking about a comfortable way to die.

Soon, he was at the front of the line.

"Okay, what do you want?"

Jiang Feng saw that this man was a little distracted and asked with a smile.

Only then did Li Chao come to his senses. His attitude was still very gentle, and there was no sign of any extreme thoughts.

Li Chao looked at the sign and said:

"I want five skewers of beef, five skewers of mutton, and two skewers of grilled steamed buns."

"alright, please wait."

Jiang Feng asked the people behind him again, "Are you taking them away or waiting for a seat? If so, what do you want?"

The person behind said they wanted to take it away and ordered some kebabs.

Jiang Feng calculated what everyone ordered, then took out the kebabs from the iron plate and grilled them on the fire.

Li Chao was still in a dazed state.

The stock market has been terrible this year.

The economy is like an avalanche, and he is just a snowflake, unable to withstand such a shock.

While Jiang Feng was grilling meat, he noticed that Li Chao seemed a little distracted.

When the barbecue was done, Jiang Feng put the barbecue in a paper bag and handed it to Li Chao.

"You ordered beef and lamb."

"Barbecue tastes best when it's hot."

“Welcome next time.”

Jiang Feng said to him gently.

"Thank you."

Li Chao said thank you, then carried the paper bag and turned back upstairs.

His heart was still heavy.

The loss was almost two hundred thousand.

This amount may not be much to others, but it is completely unbearable to him.

Li Chao returned to his office.

There was no one else here, so he planned to go to the Moon River in the suburbs and jump into the river after eating the barbecue.

He also took out his mobile phone, clicked on his wife's WeChat, and said a lot in the dialog box.

When it comes to the depth of love, I couldn’t help crying while holding my phone.

Li Chao didn't have the courage to press the send button and planned to wait until he reached Moon River before sending.

He wiped his tears and saw the barbecue on the table. He took out a bunch of beef from the paper bag and planned to eat enough to go on the road.

You can't be a starving ghost.

He took a big bite of beef, pulled it all off the stick, and ate it all in his mouth.

He chewed heavily.

He was originally feeling extremely sad and had fallen into an "emo" state.

After taking two bites, Li Chao's expression changed a bit.

There were still tears in my eyes, but I stopped crying after taking this bite. I chewed the beef and swallowed it, and licked my mouth with unfulfilled interest.

Li Chao stared at the beef skewers in his hand.

He took another big mouthful and wiped off all the remaining beef.

As he chewed, Li Chao's emotions were aroused.

The original feeling of sadness slowly subsided.

"Positive" emotions begin to arise in your mind.

He ate and wiped his tears.

I wanted to have a good meal before leaving.

As I ate, the thought of committing suicide completely disappeared.

"This is such a bad thing about the stock market, I'm so stupid"

Li Chao cursed and ate the barbecue in his hand faster and faster.

The barbecue was sprinkled with chili peppers. Although it was not spicy, the slightly spicy feeling made Li Chao take a deep breath and couldn't help but take a few sips of water.

The smell of barbecue is unexpected.

Li Chao originally wanted to wave his sleeves and end his life without taking away a single cloud.

After eating the barbecue, he hesitated.

Li Chao was thinking just now:

What is the meaning of life?

At this moment, he understood that the meaning of his life was just two words:

Enjoyment.

Enjoy the happiness of this world.

There are so many delicious and fun things to do, but it’s not worth it just to lose yourself because of the stock market crash.

What's more, this barbecue is really delicious.

Li Chaoyue ate faster and faster, until he finally ate two toasted buns.

He leaned back comfortably in the seat, feeling warm in his stomach.

“This barbecue stall is really delicious.”

"I think I've heard it said before, but I didn't pay much attention to it."

"We'll line up later and buy some for my wife."

"Go back and kneel on the washboard, write a letter of guarantee, and never touch the stock market again."

Li Chao thought secretly.

He opened WeChat and deleted all the dense words he had just written in the chat box.

Only one sentence is left:

"Honey, I'll go back in a while. Let's have barbecue tonight. We have a particularly delicious barbecue stall downstairs. I'll bring you some."

After a while, his wife came back with a message:

"Why are you so enthusiastic all of a sudden today?"

"Okay, I'll wait for you at home."

After seeing his wife's message, Li Chao felt a sore nose and wanted to cry again.

Almost!

His wife is so kind, but he still wants to commit suicide to escape.

It's really nothing.

Li Chao wiped his tears, packed up his office, and went to queue up at Jiang Feng's stall again.

Jiang Feng is still busy cooking barbecue for diners.

There were many guests.

Not long after, Li Chao reached the front of the queue again.

"Boss, here are five skewers of mutton, five skewers of beef, five skewers of pineapple beef, and five skewers of grilled chicken gizzards."

Li Chao ordered.

Jiang Feng looked at him and smiled:

"welcome."

"You're here again so soon. Wasn't the meat just enough?"

Li Chao responded: "Enough, it's so delicious. Bring some back to my wife."

"Okay, wait a moment."

"it is good."

Jiang Feng didn't know what happened to Li Chao.

I just feel like it’s different from before.

At least he looks a little more energetic.

Everyone has a story.

Maybe the encounter is just a small fate, but it may also have a big impact.
