Chapter 498: Mr. Ma Zhide
The competition among barbecue stalls was fierce. Heath had just put his tables and chairs outside when he saw four or five barbecue stalls nearby had already started business. However, Heath did not feel any psychological fluctuations. After all, this was not the first time Heath had encountered such a thing. Heath had encountered similar things when he was pushing a cart in Changqing City. At that time, when Heath went to sell breakfast, there were many colleagues selling breakfast around him.
However, for those jobs that tend to be in the catering industry, taste is the only foundation. If the taste is not good, then the business will not be very good. Heath is quite confident about the taste of his barbecue stall.
"Fire dinosaur, come here, light the fire." Heath set up the barbecue grill. Generally speaking, charcoal is used for barbecue, and few people use coal because the smell of coal when it burns is a bit special, and the barbecue tastes not very good. However, some people still choose to use coal or honeycomb coal to save costs, but Heath doesn't need to consider these.
In fact, compared to charcoal, grilling with wood is also a very good option, but using wood will produce too much smoke and is actually more troublesome to grill, so Heath has never used wood, just some charcoal.
As Heath's stall was set up, several curious customers soon came to the stall, but their attention was mainly focused on Charmeleon and Zoroark. Although other barbecue stalls also had waiters, none of them were as good as Betty, who was transformed by Zoroark.
Heath smiled. Even good wine needs no bush. In this day and age , it is very difficult to stand out without a marketing technique.
"Would you like some barbecue?" Zoroark asked with a smile. A young man who looked less than 20 years old instantly blushed, then scratched his head awkwardly and nodded. He walked in in a daze under Zoroark's smiling attack, and then casually ordered some lamb and beef skewers.
"Charmer, it's up to you. Remember to control the heat." Heath reminded Charmer. As for Snorlax, he did not follow Heath out. After all, Snorlax's appearance was too special. If he followed Heath out, he would become too conspicuous. So Heath asked Snorlax to be responsible for chilled drinks and beer on the food truck. The demand for drinks is actually not as great as that for beer. After all, the taste of beer is very different before and after being chilled, and most people prefer to drink cold beer when eating barbecue.
Charmeleon picked up the skewers and spit out flames from its mouth. The grilling of the lamb skewers and other meat skewers was left to Charmeleon. After all, Charmeleon's strength was there, and letting it do the grilling would also speed up the grilling. As for some more delicate grilling, Heath did it himself.
The young man looked over curiously. Although Zoroark was very beautiful, a Charmeleon kebab was still very attractive.
"Sir, your skewers." The Charmeleon grilled the meat very quickly and it was done in a short while. Zoroark also brought the grilled skewers over, which had been sprinkled with special barbecue powder by Heath. Heath made some improvements to it because he saw the taste this man liked, but there was no requirement for his food. Heath thought it might be because he didn't have any special requirements for barbecue.
This man prefers spicy food, but this is normal. With the development of society, more and more people are beginning to like spicy food. Although strictly speaking, spiciness is actually a kind of pain, many people like that unique taste.
The man took it with a thank you, then picked up the skewer and took a bite. The skewer was roasted to a crispy outside and tender inside, and very juicy. It might be because the Fire Dinosaur used a very high heat at the beginning, so the meat was roasted to a crisp after a while, thus locking in the moisture inside and making the kebab tender and juicy. Paired with Xi's special barbecue powder and some extra chili powder, the man couldn't help but eat another skewer after eating one, with some surprise in his eyes.
"Hello, do you have any cold beer?" The man felt a little thirsty after eating five skewers and couldn't help asking.
"Of course, please wait a moment." Zoroark immediately ran to the car with a smile and got cold beer. Heath was very calm, which was not surprising. Generally speaking, the food at barbecue stalls is heavier in flavor, and you will feel thirsty if you eat too much. It can be regarded as a little trick to increase your income.
[You entertained Xiao Lan, and you got Agility Candy XX] Heath smacked his lips. Agility Candy was not so attractive to Heath now. He would always get some candy when entertaining these guests. Only some special guests would give Heath some unique rewards.
"Heath...Heath?" A familiar voice. Heath was stunned for a moment, then turned his head and saw old man Ma Zhide.
Unlike the old man Ma Zhide in Changqing City, the old man Ma Zhide at that time had a straight back, was full of energy, and was always talking and laughing. He didn't look like an old man at all. But the current Ma Zhide...
Heath stared at Ma Zhide in a daze. His hair was completely white, and the wrinkles on his face seemed to have deepened a lot over such a period of time. He was hunched over, and had a cane in his hand. If it weren't for the fact that his face remained the same, Heath would have almost failed to recognize the man in front of him.
"Grandpa Ma Zhide?" Heath asked, but he was very sure in his heart that the person in front of him was definitely old man Ma Zhide.
"Ah, it's really Heath... cough cough... I thought I was seeing things." Old Man Ma Zhide smiled and coughed twice tremblingly. Heath hurried over to support Old Man Ma Zhide, and then took him to sit on the chair.
"Grandpa Ma Zhide, you..." Heath looked at the old man in front of him, a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes. Grandpa Ma Zhide used to be in such good health, and his laughter could be heard throughout Changqing City, but now Grandpa Ma Zhide seemed to be countless times older.
"It's okay, it's like this when you get old. It's better to die early so that I can go see Ah Pen." Old man Ma Zhide laughed heartily, and Heath listened silently. Old man Ma Zhide is really the same as before. Although he has aged a lot, his heart...
