Chapter 39 Take the Stove

After arriving at the gate of the uncle's restaurant and parking the car, Zhang Chi entered the restaurant.

"Uncle, uncle."

After shouting twice and no one answered, Zhang Chi amplified his voice.

"It's in the backyard."

Now Auntie's voice came out.

Zhang Chi pushed open the small door at the back, and found that the uncle and the aunt were cleaning the barbecue stove that had just been moved back in the backyard. The greasy and dirty barbecue stove that was originally seen in the photo had changed a lot now. The oil stains on the stainless steel furnace body have been completely washed off, revealing its original brightness.

"Uncle, auntie, I'll just go back and wash it myself, what else can you do for me?"

When Zhang Chi saw it, he immediately picked up the rag beside him, and washed his hands together.

"How do you wash it over there? It's all covered with oil stains. You don't have the things we use here. Besides, your uncle and I happen to have nothing to do. Let's help you out." The aunt said with a smile.

Zhang Chi said: "Then wait for me to come, you and uncle guide, I will do it."

Zhang Chi does not have a cleaning agent for cleaning oil stains, because this thing is used by ordinary people, that is, it is used by Zhang Youliang and his wife to open a restaurant. Because the oily smoke is heavy, the kitchen needs to be cleaned after a period of time, so this kind of Cleaning agents for professional decontamination are standing items.

A restaurant must be clean and hygienic. Zhang Youliang's back kitchen is always kept clean and tidy. Whether it is seen by the guests or inspected, it is comfortable to see.

If a restaurant is dirty and messy, it is impossible to survive here, let alone achieve its current reputation.

"It's the little things, and it looks so much better after being cleaned like this."

Looking at the large barbecue stove in front of him that was about to restore its original appearance, Zhang Youliang said with satisfaction.

"Where is it much better, like new?" Zhang Chi said.

This is not an exaggeration at all. After the grease on the stove was washed off, the stainless steel stove body was as bright as new, and it shone brightly under the sun.

The material of the stove is quite hard. The furnace body is completely made of food-grade stainless steel, and the rest of the materials are also quite strong. If the original appearance is not covered by oil stains, or the original owner does not want to bother to clean it, a It must not be Zhang Youliang's turn to pick it up.

"How is your house going?" Zhang Youliang was concerned about his nephew's ranch.

Zhang Chi threw the towel in the water, then unscrewed the water on it and began to wipe the stove legs in front of him.

"Everything is going well. After the pipeline is finished and the sewage tank is buried, the top can be capped," Zhang Chi said.

"Then it's almost finished?" Auntie said.

Zhang Youliang said: "It will take at least two weeks before we get there."

Zhang Chi laughed and said, "Uncle, I'm not building a big house, or a small bungalow. It will take less than two weeks, and it will be over in another week."

"Yo, that's pretty fast." Zhang Youliang was a little surprised.

"The construction team works more than ten hours a day, and the progress is of course fast. Once the cowshed and storage depot are ready, it will be faster if the manpower is concentrated on the house," Zhang Chi said.

The cowshed and fodder storage are almost completed now.

These two places are not serious houses, just a steel frame with wooden boards around it, and it’s not like the house says that it’s not insulated, just seal the wooden boards with a place to keep out the wind and rain. , The cowshed is for cows, not for people.

As for the storage warehouse, it is even simpler. As long as there is no water leakage and the rain cannot enter when it rains, then it is completely OK. There is no need to think about whether it can block the wind or not. The hay does not have so many requirements.

"By the way, when will you tell your parents about this?" Auntie said.

Zhang Chi said: "Wait for it to be built, and then tell them."

"It's just right, after the summer vacation in a few days, the whole family will come over to have fun, the last time I came here was five or six years ago," the aunt said.

Zhang Chi said: "I don't have much money this year, let's wait until next year, sell the cattle next year, then let them come and live for a while."

When a family comes over, not to mention other round-trip air tickets, it will cost a lot of money. In addition, Zhang Chi’s family has a large population, and his grandparents are still alive, plus his parents. It's seven people, the round-trip air tickets for seven people are not affordable by Zhang Chi now.

Auntie said that the last time she came, it was only her parents. Since Zhang Chi wants family members to come, it is impossible for her parents to come. Play here for a month or two.

Then it will be scheduled for next summer vacation.

"That's right, it's not easy to come here now." Auntie thought about it for a while, and felt that this time, no matter what, she would have to kill a hundred thousand, and her nephew's current economic level could not afford it.

It’s not easy for the old couple to take care of it, because it’s unreasonable. It’s the same thing for them to take care of their nephew. Now that the nephew’s ranch has become a place where he wants to take his family over for fun, what’s the matter with them paying for the plane ticket.

The uncle and nephew chatted while washing the barbecue stove.

This topic turned to Zhang Wu again after chatting, there is no way, Zhang Wen is living a prosperous life now, Zhang Chi, nephew, can be regarded as having a family and a business, only Zhang Wu is now thirty years old Yes, still hanging around in society.

"Ask your little brother Wu, where are you now, what are you doing, and don't do anything illegal," the aunt asked.

Zhang Chi said: "I really didn't ask much. The last time I talked to him, he only said that he wanted to make songs with a few people now, that is, to accept other people's songs and then sell them. I don't know the specific situation."

Zhang Chi really has no interest in the industry Xiao Wu is engaged in. Do you want to make songs?What era is it now? The music industry is no longer a particularly profitable industry in the last century. Of course, it cannot be said that it does not make money. It is just that there are too many songs now. It is not an exaggeration to say that the good songs that can be remembered are one in a million. .

Zhang Chi felt unreliable no matter how he listened to the reselling of songs.

However, Zhang Chi is not worried about Brother Xiao Wu. He may not have much ability to make money, but his ability to mix with society is indeed better than that of Zhang Chi or even Brother Zhang Wen.

There is no way, this guy is too fiddly, and he is also a social bull, he can chat with anyone. Using Zhang Wen's words before, even if he meets a dog on the street, he can chat with the dog.

Without this eloquence, I wouldn't have had countless girlfriends since childhood.People like Zhang Chi, if thrown into the society without the blessing of the gourd, are probably expected to be bachelors for a lifetime.

"This child doesn't know what to make trouble for." The mother-in-law didn't know what to say about her second son.

The elders think that the most important thing for a person is to be steadfast and diligent. These two things have nothing to do with Zhang Wuna.

"Leave him alone, he will come back when the money is spent." Zhang Youliang is also worried about his son, but as a father, he usually doesn't show this feeling.

When Zhang Chi came, the uncle and aunt had already washed the stove for more than half, and most of the oil stains were actually cleaned off, and the rest were nothing more than corners and corners, or the bottom of the legs and the like Yes, these places are very easy to deal with, because the surface is very smooth. Once the cleaning agent is applied, put it on for a while and then stroke it with a steel wool ball, and the oil stains will come down.

The whole stove is as new as it is now, not only the stove body is connected with the barbecue net and so on, but it also shows its original appearance when it is fished out from the large basin filled with cleaning agent.

After cleaning, Zhang Youliang flushed the entire stove with a water hose until the foam from the cleaning agent was no longer visible.

"Let me come, I can do this little work, you and your aunt have a rest."

Zhang Chi saw that his uncle took a dry towel and wanted to wipe it, so he immediately reached out and snatched it, squatted down and began to wipe the water on the surface of the stove with the towel in circles.

"Oh, I forgot, you can take some of the fly powder you bought last time back later, it's really good at sticking to flies," said the aunt.

As a restaurant owner, Ken will encounter these problems. Uncle is very demanding on this. He will never allow a customer to come to the restaurant and see a fly land on his food after sitting down. A must have for restaurants, especially now that the temperature is rising.

Let's put it this way, the surroundings of Folsom are either pastures or farms. If you say that there are no mosquitoes and flies here, then you are talking nonsense.

These things can be quite a nuisance during the hottest time of year.

Over the years, Zhang Youliang has used countless insect killers, and finally found the right one.

Not only Zhang Youliang's restaurant uses it, but now nearby restaurants and farmers and ranchers also use it together, which can be regarded as being planted by Zhang Youliang.

"That's okay, my ranch is fine now," Zhang Chi said.

Zhang Chi didn't want to use it too much, because the fly powder tasted really bad, especially stinky.

The American brand of fly-killing powder is fragrant, at least it doesn’t have a big smell, but it’s useless. Flies like smelly things. If you give them a fragrant one and want them to come over, isn’t that nonsense.

The stuff produced in China is really good. Really, get a cardboard box and pour it in, open the mouth and come here for a day, as long as there are flies nearby, it won’t come. Yes, very useful.

"When you find something wrong, the flies will fly all over the sky." The aunt said with a smile: "Take it back and find a foam box to put it in. Don't be too close to the house, the smell is strong, and you can't smell it if you keep it far away. , but the flies can smell it".

"Okay, I'll get it when I get back," Zhang Chi could only nod in agreement.

After the barbecue stove was finished, Zhang Chi and his uncle put the stove in the compartment of the car, and pulled it a few times with a rope to prevent the stove from moving around while driving.

Auntie brought a plastic bag at this time, put it on the back bucket, and gave Zhang Chi a foam box, needless to say, it was something poisonous to flies.

In the end, I gave Zhang Chi a box of fruit wood charcoal. In short, Zhang Chi thought of it, and the couple who didn't expect it helped his nephew think of it.

After everything is done, the uncle and aunt will stay with Zhang Chi for dinner again.

"Today I want to invite guests. I really can't eat at home. I will wait for my house to be installed in two days. I will invite you two to my ranch," Zhang Chi said.

The couple thought about it, so they watched Zhang Chi's car leave until they could no longer see it, and then turned back to the restaurant to get busy.
