I became an internet celebrity by running a grocery store

Zhang Xiaobei got up to open the door, and saw that it was Qin Jia.

"How did you come."

Qin Jia didn't answer, turned his face sideways and sniffed inside, "What kind of smell is this, it smells so good."

In fact, he had already smelled it at the door, the strong fresh and spicy smell pulled him like a small hook.

"We are eating chopped pepper fish, do you want to eat together?" Zhang Xiaobei asked politely.

But I didn't expect that as soon as the words were spoken, Qin Jia couldn't wait to agree, and pushed Zhang Xiaobei inside with a smile on his face.

"Eat, eat, how lonely you are eating alone, I will accompany you." Qin Jia's mind was completely occupied by chopped pepper fish, and he didn't even notice Zhang Xiaobei's words about us.He put his hand on Zhang Xiaobei's shoulder affectionately, and entered the room.

Xia Songfeng put down his chopsticks since Zhang Xiaobei ran out, and unconsciously followed him with his eyes.He saw the door was opened, but he was sitting in the back, half of his view was blocked by Liu Bing, and he couldn't see the people outside the door until he heard Qin Jia's voice.

He narrowed his eyes warily and pricked up his ears. Even though the distance was several meters, he still wanted to hear what the two of them were talking about.Originally thought that Qin Jia would voluntarily leave after knowing that they were eating, but unexpectedly walked in with Xiao Bei "armed shoulders", and his eyes were hot.

After Qin Jia saw Xia Songfeng, she didn't withdraw her hand in a hurry.Although he had already seen that Xia Songfeng was not normal to Xiao Bei, but it didn't matter for sure, there was no reason why he couldn't get in touch with Xiao Bei.

"Xiao Bei, did you make this? It looks so delicious. Xiao Bei is so powerful, how can he cook everything and make it so delicious." Qin Jia just sat down, and began to praise her sweetly.

Zhang Xiaobei blushed when he said it, "It's alright, it's alright, it's all ordinary home-cooked meals, I'll get you the bowls and chopsticks."

After he left, Xia Songfeng stared at him cautiously, as if facing an enemy.On the contrary, Qin Jia was very calm and raised his eyebrows at him calmly.

Xia Songfeng suddenly felt a little regretful. He regretted that he was sitting in the wrong seat. How could he let Qin sit next to Xiaobei.Seeing Xiaobei walking over with the bowl and chopsticks, Xia Songfeng suddenly stood up and stepped onto his seat.

"Xiaobei, I'll sit with Qin Jia, and you sit with me."

Zhang Xiaobei didn't think much about it. After handing the bowl and chopsticks to Qin Jia, he went to Xia Songfeng's place. They chatted and laughed and started eating.

The fish meat was really thin and tender, and the stewing time was just right, the flavor of the seasoning was all melted in, and the aroma was overflowing. The four of them had great appetites, as if they didn't know how full they were.

Although the fish is big, it can't stand four big men eating it around.Zhang Xiaobei felt that he only ate a few yuan, and when he looked up again, he couldn't see the shadow of the fish, so he could only choose the side dishes below to eat, and they were all snatched.

Seeing that everyone had almost finished eating, Zhang Xiaobei went to the kitchen to take out the noodles and pour them in while pulling them.

The fish and side dishes are delicious, but not full.If you want to be full, you still have to have noodles.

The white noodles are put into the hot pot covered with bright red chili flakes, and they are cooked quickly after a few chugs.Zhang Xiaobei picked one and tasted it, it tasted very good.After all, it is boiled fish soup, very delicious.The noodles completely absorb the tenderness of the fish soup into their arms, and also incorporate the spiciness of fresh chopped peppers, which is very delicious.

Once Zhang Xiaobei said it was all right, everyone put down their chopsticks and scooped it up.Xiao Bei ordered two more pots of noodles one after another, and only then did they feed everyone.

After the meal, Xia Songfeng and Liu Bing went to wash the dishes, Qin Jia left first because of Yan's call, but brought Zhang Xiaobei a box of imported chocolates in the afternoon.

"Someone gave it to me. They said it was Italian handmade chocolate, and it was quite delicious. It's for you. Thank you for the hospitality at noon."

As soon as Zhang Xiaobei heard that it was handmade in Italy, Zhang Xiaobei felt that it was very expensive, so he didn't want to accept it, "No, it's just a meal, it's not worth the money."

Qin Jia smiled and insisted on giving it away, "Take it, just in case you make something delicious next time, just don't forget me." After speaking, she winked at him and left.

Zhang Xiaobei picked up the chocolate and looked at it. It was a small square box, beautifully packaged, and a beautiful bow was tied on it with a ribbon, and Armani/Dolci was printed on the ribbon.

He untied the ribbon, took one out and tasted it.The cocoa taste is strong, the taste is silky, and the sweetness is moderate, which makes Zhang Xiaobei, who doesn't like chocolate, feel delicious.He took out his mobile phone, ready to search for this brand, and buy some more after eating.

After seeing the price, Zhang Xiaobei took a deep breath.

This one costs 67 yuan.Just letting him stuff it into his mouth in one gulp is too extravagant.If he knew it was so expensive, he would eat it in small bites and savor it.It's definitely not like Zhu Bajie who eats ginseng fruit and eats it all up.

It was too late to regret it now, he carefully repacked the box and put it under the cash register.

When it was time for the students to leave school, Zhang Xiaobei would squeeze sauce for the sausages, process hot dogs, and make skewers for the students. He was extremely busy.At this time, he glanced and saw a middle-aged man standing outside the door.With eight-character eyebrows and a slightly arched back, there is an old bicycle parked next to it, and a foam box is placed on the back seat of the car.

Seeing him just standing outside the door blankly, Zhang Xiaobei ignored him.But when the enthusiasm of the students was over, the man was still standing there, not even changing his movements, he couldn't help feeling suspicious.

"Hello, what's the matter?"

The man regained his composure, rubbed his hands, and limped up to Zhang Xiaobei, "Well, I want to ask, are the hot dogs and sausages eaten by the dolls at school all from your family?"

Zhang Xiaobei didn't understand what the man meant, so he didn't answer.

Seeing that he didn't speak, the man frowned, and even drooped his eyes, looking very miserable.

"Well, I don't mean anything else, I just want to ask. Did the school dolls eat your food when they went to the memorial last time?"

"Yes."

After getting his affirmative answer, the man showed a very naive smile, "Well, I have something I want to discuss with you. I want to have your hot dogs and sausages, see if it's okay."

Zhang Xiaobei's eyes widened, "My family's hot dogs and sausages?"

The man nodded.

"The hot dogs and sausages in my house are no different from those outside. You can also bake them by buying a sausage grilling machine yourself."

The man scratched his head, looking a little anxious, "How can there be no difference? The dolls all like to eat yours, so yours must be better, it's different."

Zhang Xiaobei laughed amused by him, "Maybe it's because I have a lot of sauce here."

He heard from Wang Xin that although the price of the grilled sausage at the gate of the school was the same as his own, it definitely didn't have as many flavors as his own.Chili noodles, ketchup, salad dressing, and mayonnaise are all available. Students naturally like to eat their own.

I heard that recently, the sausage restaurant in front of the school also learned from Zhang Xiaobei to increase the sauce according to the situation, but the boss is very picky and only squeezes a little for you every time, and he can't double it.So the students don't like to buy things from him, and would rather run a little farther to Zhang Xiaobei's place.

"There's a lot of sauce?" The man repeated in a low voice, "But my burger also has a lot of ketchup, why don't the dolls like it?"

Hamburg, Zhang Xiaobei captured these two words.

"Are you selling hamburgers in front of the school?"

Seeing that Zhang Xiaobei found out, the man nodded shyly.

Zhang Xiaobei still remembered the taste of that hamburger, so he told him, "Your ketchup is not authentic. It should not only be made of tomatoes, but also add something else."

The man's expression changed after hearing this, "Impossible, I bought expensive ones specially."

Although the man's craftsmanship is average, he still knows that selling food at the school gate, keeping clean and sanitation and not using those rotten things, he will not do such unconscionable things.

"Then you may... have been cheated." Zhang Xiaobei muttered softly.

The man grabbed his hair angrily, walked back and forth in front of the counter, and kept saying, "How can you lie to me, eh, what is wrong with the world."

"You, are you okay?" Zhang Xiaobei took a step back in fear.

The man looked up at him, with unabated anger and self-blame still on his face.Realizing his gaffe, he hurriedly stood still and apologized to Zhang Xiaobei.

"No, I'm sorry, I am, hey!" He sighed and knocked himself hard again.

"I just want to buy some of your sausages and hot dogs to sell in the town. My hamburgers, business is not good, and the dolls don't like to eat them. I think they like to eat yours. It's cold and dark and early, It’s not easy for them to come here. I can come, and I’ll pull it down and sell it to them to earn some hard money.”

"This... my family just has a common taste, and if you pull it down, there may not be children buying it."

The man smiled and shook his head, "No, no, there are many children who are willing to eat it. My daughter loves to eat yours. Unfortunately, my family is poor, so I haven't let her eat it a few times." .

"What do you think, I can help you sell more, what a great thing."

Zhang Xiaobei smiled politely, feeling a little undecided.After all, he is not familiar with this person, and he sells it under the name of his small shop, so if something happens, he will take care of it all.

"No...no need, I really can't sell it for a few bucks."

The smile on the man's face collapsed, and he said anxiously: "Yes, it can be sold, if you can't, you can give me some to try."

Zhang Xiaobei was taken aback by him, and didn't know how to reply him, so he had to say tactfully.

"Then, let me think about it."

The man loosened his tense shoulders, happily agreed, and then rode away on his bicycle.

The second day happened to be the weekend, Wang Xin was just walking back from the back mountain after watching the excitement, when Zhang Xiaobei took him into the commissary.

"Wang Xin, come here and ask you something." Zhang Xiaobei waved at him and called him to the small shop.

"What's the matter?" Wang Xin put his hands in his trouser pockets, looking like a little adult.

"Do you know the owner of the hamburger at the gate of your school?"

"Yeah, that's my classmate's father. But his hamburgers are so-so, and they cost 5 yuan apiece. No one buys them now."

Zhang Xiaobei wanted to say that the hamburger tasted ordinary, but there was a large piece of fried chicken cutlet in it, and the price of 5 yuan was really not expensive.But for elementary school students like Wang Xin, 5 yuan should be considered a huge sum of money for them, so they shut up.

"Is he still your classmate's father?"

Wang Xin nodded his head twice, wrinkled his face and said, "His family is very pitiful."

"Ah," Zhang Xiaobei said in surprise, "What's going on?"

The author has something to say:

Armani/Dolci's chocolates are only known to me after looking at the refrigerator. It turns out that there are such expensive chocolates. Poverty limits my imagination!
