Return To 1998

Xu Tongdao's booth currently has only three tables in total. Now there are two tables, and it looks like it is almost full. This will give people the illusion that this booth is doing good business.

This illusion often attracts new guests.

No, not long after, a sloppy man in his thirties came out of a shampoo room diagonally opposite. The man was slovenly, with messy hair and unshaven beard. He was wearing a pair of camouflage pants, a black T-shirt and a pair of sneakers. , the mix and match style is very strong.

When he came out of the shampoo room, he stood on the side of the road, lowered his head and lit a cigarette, then squeezed the cigarette with one hand, pressed his back with the other, and looked at some stalls across the road with his small eyes, and then went straight Come to Xu Tongdao.

When he crossed the road and approached Xu Tongdao's booth, he looked down and saw that there were mutton skewers, roasted eggplant, roasted green peppers, roasted enoki mushrooms, and roasted leeks on the grill in front of Xu Tongdao. The cigarette on the side forgot to put it in his mouth for a while, he blinked in confusion, shook his head, blinked hard, and asked in disbelief, Hey! Boss, what are you baking? Can you eat it?

Tongdao Xu raised his head when he heard the sound, saw a few lipstick marks on his face and neck, smiled slightly, and took out a tissue and handed it to him.

You can eat it! Brother, you have lipstick on your face, can you wipe it off?

The sloppy man was stunned, his old face was a little red, he took the tissue paper handed by Xu Tongdao, and asked in a low voice, Where? Can you point me to it?

Tongdao Xu held back a smile and pointed to him with a flat expression.

The sloppy man wiped it off quickly, then asked, Boss, is there anything else? Did I wipe it off?

Tongdao Xu nodded and asked casually, Brother, do you want something to eat? Are you hungry? Do you want to make up for it?

There was a smile on the corner of the sloppy man's mouth, he raised his feet and walked to the last empty table, leaving a sentence: Okay! I'm here to find something to eat, you can give me something for everything you see! By the way! , Do you have a big waist? Give me a few more strings!

Saying that, he walked over and sat down.

Xu Tonglin hurried to pour him tea.

Xu Tongdao agreed and started to bake something for this person with a smile. He likes customers who order things this way.

Not far away, at the bald booth, a male customer suddenly stood up and shouted to Tongdao Xu, Hey! Young man, give us another serving of your grilled eggplant! You don't have to pay in advance this time, right?

Tongdao Xu turned his head and glanced, smiled and returned an ok gesture.

His gesturing hand hadn't been put down yet. The man's words just now seemed to remind other customers. Another customer at the bald booth stood up and shouted, Hey! Let's also add a roasted eggplant! Hehe, don't say it, I used to be true I didn't know grilled eggplant was so fragrant and delicious...

Tong Xu said: Okay!

While agreeing, he replied with an ok gesture again.

At the same time, he glanced at the bald head and noticed that the bald head looked very ugly, Tongdao Xu smiled and didn't take it to heart.

He doesn't believe how many desperadoes there are in this world. In his opinion, most of the ruthless, reckless, second-rate, etc. that are common in life are bluffing paper tigers.

There are very few people who really dare to take their lives to fight with others.

If he really wants to fight, he is not afraid of Xu Tongdao.

Anyway, he is very poor now, and the barefoot is afraid of wearing shoes?

He didn't want to cause trouble, just because he wanted to make money and didn't want to affect his business.

But if someone really wants to trouble him, try it!

Just as he had these thoughts in his mind, a customer at the fat man's booth also stood up and shouted, Hey! Boy, boy! Give us another serving of your grilled eggplant!

Okay, boss!

Tongdao Xu raised his voice and replied.

This time, the face of the fat stall owner also became ugly.

...

The long-haired man's booth adjacent to the fat man's booth was not called to add a grilled eggplant for the time being, but the long-haired man who was roasting something couldn't help but turn his face and glance at Xu Tongdao when he heard the sound just now. .

Just then, his sister came over with a plate of bamboo sticks and tissues left over from the guests' meals. Seeing that he was looking at Tongdao Xu, she also followed his line of sight to Tongdao Xu subconsciously.

Then he frowned slightly, and said in a low voice, Brother, that new stall is doing a good job tonight! The grilled eggplant that they grilled, I just saw it, and it was really beautiful and very fragrant. We ordered grilled eggplants here. The guests of eggplant seem to like it very much! We don't have it in our family, and I'm afraid it will affect the sound of our family in the future!

The long-haired man withdrew his gaze, lowered his head and continued to roast the things in his hands, and said lightly: I see, so, you can also order a roasted eggplant now, go!

what?

The girl was surprised, Brother, are you serious?

The long-haired man hummed, Come on! Order one, let's both taste it, I'll study how to bake it later, go!

The girl looked at him, smiled, and nodded, Okay!

Then he took two long straight legs and walked quickly towards Xu Tongdao.

Don't look at her delicate looks, but she walks with the wind.

Soon, Tongdao Xu didn't see the bridge, only two legs wrapped in blue jeans appeared in the corner of his eyes.

The white sneakers on my feet are so clean, it's a pity not to step on them.

A strange thought flashed in his mind. Tongdao Xu raised his head subconsciously, and before he could see the woman's face clearly, he heard a sentence: Hey, hello! Can you get me a grilled eggplant too? Two yuan a piece, right? ?

Before he finished speaking, two one-yuan banknotes were handed over to Xu Tongdao.

Only then did Tongdao see who this girl was.

The sister of the long-haired man's stall owner?

Bought it for your guests?

Xu Tongdao asked subconsciously.

The girl smiled and asked, What? If you didn't buy it for the customer, wouldn't you sell it to me?

Looking at her face up close, Xu Tongdao remembered those young and beautiful female classmates in his school days. He once thought that after leaving school, he would meet more and more beautiful beauties, and he would definitely find a beautiful woman to be his wife in the future. .

The results of it?

After he left school, the job changed one after another, and I did see a lot of beautiful women, but most of them were salespeople on the road and in the store...

As for the place where he works, there are women, but beautiful women... I really haven't encountered them.

Of course, these are the memories before his rebirth.

As for now...

Tongdao Xu smiled, stretched out his hand to take the two dollars she handed over, and said lightly, How could it be? Thank you for taking care of my business! I'll have it baked in a while, and I'll ask my brother to send it to you.

The girl smiled when she heard the words, said Okay!, and turned back.

Tongdao Xu put the money aside, picked up the last big eggplant, cut it in half with a kitchen knife, and baked it on the grill in front of him.

Yes, he did not expect the huge popularity of roasted eggplant tonight, so the big eggplant he prepared in advance is now sold out.
