Food: How come this boss knows everything?

Chapter 6: Barbecue restaurants all came to learn

The fat from the lamb drips into the oven and hits the charcoal, instantly stimulating the aroma of fruit charcoal.

The aroma of charcoal quickly evaporates in the hot stove, carrying the flavor of mutton and seasonings, and quickly dissipates, filling the entire Taoyuan Night Market.

More and more customers gathered in front of Li Rui's barbecue stall.

People ordered skewers, waited for them, ate them, and did not forget to ask the young boss.

"Boss, will you come tomorrow?"

"Master, can you deliver food here?"

"Boss, your lamb kebabs are so delicious. Let me give you my contact information. I'll order some from you in two days."

Li Rui responded to the customer's question.

"I've been here at five o'clock these past few days. If you want to eat, just come and order some skewers from me."

What this means is that we do not provide takeout and do not intend to provide contact information.

For Li Rui, it is not a big problem if he just chats with customers while setting up the stall.

But it would be a headache for him to deal with so many strangers outside of work.

Moreover, he only stayed in Taoyuan Night Market for 7 days this time, so he didn't know where his next mission would be or what he would sell.

People could not hide their disappointment, but it was soon diluted by the delicious enjoyment brought by the skewers.

Wang Aiquan from next door has a sharp business mind. He said to these customers:
"I'll create a group for everyone, and I'll sell beer next to him at night."

Wang Aiquan took out his cell phone and created a new group chat.

*Taoyuan Night Market Food Group*
Soon, four or five people scanned the QR code and joined the group.

Li Rui was concentrating on grilling skewers. Seeing that someone was sharing his social pressure, he instantly felt a lot more relaxed. He couldn't help but look at Wang Aiquan with gratitude.

As night falls, the lights are on.

The signs and light boxes of various businesses gradually light up, and Taoyuan Night Market welcomes a peak in customer flow.

At the same time, a barbecue restaurant in Taoyuan Community was deserted and business was slow, with not a single table of customers.

Wu Gang, the owner of Veteran BBQ, couldn't help but ask the two waiters in the store:
"Why is business so bad these past two days?"

Two young and strong waiters were sitting at the door peeling garlic, their eyes constantly fixed on the people passing by.

One of them replied: "Captain Wu, it seems someone has taken our business. There are so many people lining up in front of that skewers stall."

Another person also echoed: "They are professionals. Smell it. It smells so good. I want to buy two skewers to try."

Wu Gang walked to the door and looked towards the stall in Taoyuan Night Market.

My goodness, there are so many people selling snacks in the night market, why is it that he has so many family members?
While smelling the aroma of the barbecue, he reminded the two team members quietly:
"Don't call me captain outside."

Zhang Xiaochen listened to Captain Wu's scolding and muttered to himself, "There's no one in the store again."

"Hey, kid, are you looking for a fight?"

"No, no, no, boss," Zhang Xiaochen begged for mercy.

He continued, "But we can't go on like this. Is that guy nearby? We've been waiting for him for days."

Wu Gang whispered: "This person has a strong anti-reconnaissance awareness and is also an Internet expert. It is not easy for him to find this location."

Captain Wu was thinking silently in his heart.

In the past few days, all of them have been mobilized and ambushed at various locations in an attempt to capture the leader of the cyber fraud.

Originally, the three of them were using this barbecue restaurant as a cover-up, but their few businesses were snatched away by that small stall.

After a little thought, Captain Wu made a decision.

"You two shouldn't stay here anymore. Why don't you just go to the barbecue stand and watch? There are a lot of people over there. You can learn how they grill skewers."

The two of them were eager to go there and take a look, so they agreed at the same time.

As soon as they walked out of the door, they heard Wu Gang's voice again:
"Ahem, bring me two skewers to try when you come back."

"Okay." Two waiters dressed in veteran barbecue uniforms walked towards Li Rui's barbecue stall in a swagger.

Zhang Xiaochen walked along the way and said to his companion in surprise:
"Oh my god, the skewers he sells are so delicious. There are more than ten people lining up here."

The companion couldn't help but nodded.

They smelled the aroma, walked through the orderly crowd, and soon arrived at the barbecue stall.

Of course, Li Rui also noticed these two eye-catching "Veterans BBQ".

He couldn't help but wonder, are his colleagues looking for trouble?

The diners at the front also wanted to watch the fun and looked at the two waiters with interest.

Some people who were waiting in the back of the queue were secretly worried that a fight might break out and that all their time spent queuing would have been in vain.

Liu Xueying brought two colleagues this time, and they were also mixed in the crowd. She couldn't help but worry about the young stall owner who had finally gotten on the right track.

It can be said that the twenty or thirty people in front of Li Rui's barbecue stall were waiting to see how things would develop.

But the two waiters from Veteran BBQ were indifferent and didn't seem to be looking for trouble.

Their eyes were mainly focused on Li Rui's orderly operation, and they looked around from time to time.

Oh my god, Captain Wu’s comrades never taught me this way.

I was wondering why the skewers grilled in our store are not delicious?

Li Rui couldn't stand the two people's gazes, so he had to ask:

"What's up with you two?"

The two waiters came back to their senses from the exquisite technique and brought out the excuses they had prepared long ago.

"Let us steal your craft."

???

Li Rui was stunned by such blunt words.

He thought that even if he were in their position, he would have to embellish his true purpose a little.

Is it so direct?
The people around heard this and obviously didn't expect things to turn out like this.

But people also have to say that it is reasonable, very reasonable.

If you don't have the skills, you just have to learn how to make skewers from others.

The two waiters from the Veteran BBQ continued, "Boss, it's not in vain that we've learned this. Look at the tables and chairs behind you. We'll clean them up for you. How about we serve you here for free?"

Li Rui was somewhat moved when he heard this.

Although these tables and chairs are provided free of charge by the night market, he occasionally has to clean up after some customers finish eating.

It would be easier for him if he had two waiters to help him.

And there is no need to worry about stealing his skills, as a lot of things can be found on the Internet now.

There is a huge gap between knowing and doing.

He agreed immediately: "Okay, it's settled. I won't pay you."

"Okay, boss, if there's anything you need done, just tell me."

Zhang Xiaochen and his colleagues quickly transformed themselves from veteran barbecue waiters to barbecue apprentices in front of Li Rui's stall.

In fact, they both had their own plans.

There is a large flow of people in front of Li Rui's barbecue stall, and the view is wide. It is much better to wait here than in a barbecue restaurant.

And their identities here are not out of place.

Whether or not you learn a skill is secondary.

Here, it is most helpful to understand the real work that the two people are responsible for.
