Chapter 49: Grilled eggplant

  Xu Tongdao ignored the eyes and discussions around him. Tonight, he just wanted to set up a stall and do business. As long as others don’t come and smash his stall, he won’t make a difference.

   The oven was indeed too low on the ground. Xu Tongdao went to the riverside to find a dozen bricks to come over and set the oven higher.

   Then I started to make charcoal fires.

  Although there are no guests patronizing at this time, the charcoal fire must be set up in advance, otherwise there will be a visitor. You can't let the guest wait for him to light the charcoal fire and then bake things, right?

   "Hey! Boy, do you know how to barbecue? Come here to set up a stall?"

  Xu Tongdao was here to concentrate on his own business, but the bald head not far from his booth took the initiative to speak up.

  Xu Tongdao looked at him coldly, smiled faintly, and ignored him.

   The owner of the barbecue stall next to his bald head-the middle-aged fat man saw that Xu Tongdao didn't take care of his bald head, hehe chuckled twice, the meaning of ridicule was obvious.

   His bald head glanced at him unhesitatingly, and when his eyes turned to look towards Xu Tongdao, he was a little upset, "Hey! Boy, I'm talking to you! Are you dumb?"

  Xu Tongdao didn't turn his face to look at him this time, but said lightly: "Take care of yourself!"

"you……"

   Bald head and angrily, he pointed his finger at Xu Tongdao, his face was a little bit awkward, but he didn't mean to rush over to fight, he just cursed angrily: "If you didn't look at you young, I will definitely lick you!"

  Xu Tongdao when he fart.

   He doesn't want to cause trouble, but he is not afraid of it either.

   The charcoal fire was born soon. He took a plastic basin and fetched some water by the river, washed his hands, and started roasting the first batch of mutton kebabs tonight.

   Don't care if there are any customers now, you always have to roast the scent of lamb first, as it is to attract customers, and first roast a batch, as long as there are customers, you will be able to serve them immediately.

   The most important thing is that you can’t sit here and wait for guests to come. Doing catering is a diligent business. The most taboo thing to do in this business is to wait for the guests.

  Because often when guests come over, they will think that your business is not good here, and you will subconsciously want to change the house if you are not doing anything.

   Although the bald head not far away is also busy, his eyes have been paying attention to Xu Tongdao's side intentionally or unintentionally, mainly because of curiosity.

   As a result, he saw Xu Tongdao’s unskilled barbecue techniques, and he looked like a rookie.

   So the bald snorted again, and sneered at him, "Oh! These days... people sell barbecues, and ghosts sell barbecues too! I'm so old, I really opened my eyes today... hehe."

  Xu Tongdao glanced at him coldly and curled his lips.

   Last night, he tried the lamb skewers from the three barbecue stalls over there. The bald-headed technique is the worst, so the bad technique is so embarrassing to laugh at him Xu Tongdao?

   In line with the principle of making money and not causing trouble, he was farting again like that bald head.

   He is confident that it will not take long for his business to surpass that bald head, and he is looking forward to that bald face.

   After a short while, the aroma of the lamb skewers in Xu Tongdao's hands gradually came out, especially after he sprinkled the lamb skewers with various seasonings such as chili powder, cumin powder, and salt, the aroma became more and more intense.

   But it is not surprising, anyone who sprinkles these seasonings when roasting lamb will give off such an aroma.

   So, this did not attract the attention of the bald head and others.

   When the batch of lamb skewers in Xu Tongdao's hand was grilled, the three barbecue stalls over there had already had customers ordering food one after another.

   Only Xu Tongdao is still unattended.

   It's not that no customers noticed his stall, but every customer looked at the faces of him and Xu Tonglin, then looked at their brand new tables and stools, and then turned to the three stalls over there.

Xu Tonglin’s business was over long ago. At this time, he took a stool and sat next to Xu Tongdao. He frequently glanced at the three stalls over there, and saw that the long-haired man’s stalls were almost full of tables, even the business. After the worst bald head also sat at two tables, Xu Tonglin couldn't help but whispered: "Xiaodao, why doesn't a guest come to us? It won't work! If we can't sell these dishes today, tomorrow will be fine. It's broken and can't be eaten..."

   Xu Tongdao heard the words, looked at him, and glanced at the three stalls on the left, frowning slightly.

   Although he knew that he had come out to set up a stall for the first time tonight, it was normal to have such a cold reception, but such a cold reception was not what he wanted.

   "Don't worry! Calm down!"

   Comforting Xu Tonglin on his mouth, Xu Tongdao reached out his hand and took out a large eggplant with a thick arm from the plastic basket containing the ingredients, cut it in half with a kitchen knife, and placed it on the wire mesh of the oven to start roasting.

   Xu Tonglin, who has never seen barbecue before, didn't think it was any strange.

But the bald head not far away saw this scene, chuckled again, and then shook his head again and again, and sighed with emotion: "I really opened my eyes today. What kind of horrible things are baked... I took it... "

   The bald head ridicule attracted a lot of attention, including some diners, as well as the stall owners of several nearby stalls, and the stall owners of the other two barbecue stalls also noticed.

   The middle-aged fat man chuckled, shook his head and said nothing.

   The thin, long-haired man just glanced indifferently.

Xu Tongdao ignored the bald ridicule, but Xu Tonglin, who was sitting next to him, got a little flustered when he heard it. He subconsciously looked at the bald head~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and looked at the grilling of the other two barbecue stalls. The food on the stove can’t help but ask Xu Tongdao in a low voice, “Xiaodao, what does that mean bald head? Isn’t it true that no one has ever baked eggplants?”

  Xu Tongdao lowered his head and took out the garlic that he had boiled in the afternoon with shallot oil in the plastic basket. After hearing the words, his tone was light, "I will do an experiment, and I will give you a taste later."

   "Huh? Do, do experiments?"

   Xu Tonglin can't sit still anymore.

  Xu Tongdao is indeed experimenting. Before today, he had not roasted eggplants, but he used to order a roasted eggplant every time he had a barbecue. He was also curious to see how people grilled eggplants.

   Therefore, he is confident that he can restore some effect.

   After all, he has been a chef for several years, and he has his own experience and confidence in cooking and seasoning.

  Roasting eggplant is a process of witnessing a miracle. The eggplant that has just been cut open is placed on the grilling net, and it seems that there is no appetite.

But as the eggplant is gradually roasted and softened, the garlic paste cooked with scallion oil is thickly covered on the eggplant, and the aroma is roasted out a little bit, the eggplant is roasted little by little to soften, yellow orange garlic... …The mixed onion diced, green and red pepper diced in the garlic, and the emerald green onion...When mixed with the soft and rotten eggplant meat, it can really greet people.

   What's more, Xu Tongdao's garlic paste boiled with scallion oil... He also deliberately mixed some unsimmered raw garlic paste into it.

   The garlic that has been boiled with scallion oil can ensure the delicious taste of eggplant, and the raw garlic that has not been boiled can double the aroma of garlic...

   The eggplant in front of Xu Tongdao hadn't been completely roasted yet, and Xu Tonglin, who was sitting next to him, could not help swallowing several times.

   A pair of eyes stared at the eggplant on the barbecue net eagerly...
