Just as the two of them were arguing, Ling Hong couldn't help but speak.
"Both of you are equally shameless." Ling Hong's words were very conclusive and to the point.
The two of them quietened down and stared at Ling Hong.
It was drizzling in Chengdu at night. The rain didn't seem heavy, but it was easy to catch a cold. Therefore, everyone stood under the canopy provided by the queuing committee, waiting for the barbecue stall to start.
Chengdu in spring was still a little cold at night, especially when it was raining and the wind was blowing. However, the people in the queue didn't feel cold at all because the street was very lively.
Yes, it was very lively. There were stalls everywhere, and the number of people was more than three times that of a sunny day.
Because everyone knew that Yuan Zhou would sell barbecue when it rained, and there was no limit, only a limited time. Therefore, there would be a lot of people coming at this time.
Once there were more people, there would be more stalls. The small street of Taoxi Road was full of hawking.
"Barbecue, Yibin Barbecue, Shancheng Beer."
"Tsingtao Beer, buy one and get two bottles free. Tsingtao Beer, buy and get free."
"Film, phone film."
"Raincoat, raincoat for sale. One-use raincoat for 10 RMB. It can block the rain, wind, and smoke. Raincoat for sale."
"Che Guevara Beer, buy three get one free."
"Brave Charge Beer, only five. Leave after you finish selling."
The sounds of hawking filled everyone's ears. Naturally, the one with the most hawking was selling beer. There were all kinds of beer brands being sold.
It could be said that all the popular beer brands on this small street were sold.
Yes, there were more people selling beer on the street. Wasn't it strange to eat barbecue without drinking?
In the beginning, there were people selling barbecue when Yuan Zhou sold barbecue. However, the barbecue wasn't sold at all, and the beer was sold out.
Then, the boss understood that people who ate Boss Yuan's barbecue couldn't remember their own barbecue, so they sold beer and made a fortune.
Therefore, you could only see such a magical scene on Taoxi Road. A barbecue sign was hung, but the rack was full of beer.
To put it simply, would people who were willing to spend money to eat barbecue at Yuan Zhou's place care about the beer being one or two RMB more expensive?
Of course I will!
Therefore, the beer sold here was sold at the same price outside. In order to improve the competitiveness of their brands, they worked harder. For example, Yixing Barbecue Restaurant had Le Castle, Leshan Barbecue Restaurant had Guobin, and so on. It could be said that in the whole district, the liquor on Taoxi Road was the most complete in the evening.
Many beer brands were not available in supermarkets.
Anyway, because of this, more and more people saw it. Many people who didn't eat skewers also came here to buy skewers.
Then, the number of people selling beer would naturally increase, forming a virtuous cycle.
Many years later, many people still couldn't figure out why the world's beer street was named Taoxi Road, a street that had nothing to do with the origin of beer.
"Do you think Boss Yuan also has beer now? Will he provide beer for the barbecue today?" A customer asked curiously and expectantly.
"Maybe. The weather is so cold. It's not bad to drink some Boss Yuan's wine to warm us up," another customer said as he tightened his scarf.
"Eating Boss Yuan's skewers and drinking Boss Yuan's draft beer. That would be a wonderful life," someone had already started to fantasize.
"Chen Wei, do you think so too?" Ling Hong looked at Chen Wei who was lining up at the side and teased him.
"Of course." Chen Wei nodded his head.
Chen Wei and Ling Hong also came tonight. Ling Hong naturally came to eat skewers while Chen Wei came less often. After all, he loved drinking.
Today, he came to see if Yuan Zhou would sell beer. Even though he had already said that there would be no beer tonight, it didn't stop him from hoping for a fluke.
"You must be thinking too much. Who is that? It's Compass. Will he make an exception?" Ling Hong said confidently.
"Not necessarily. Boss Yuan looks cold on the outside but is warm on the inside. Last time, I saw him buy a pile of cat food and put it at the entrance of the alley, waiting for the cats to come and eat it," the customer wearing the scarf suddenly said.
"Those are all stray cats," the customer wearing the scarf added.
"Yes, yes, yes. Also, I saw Boss Yuan treating someone to a meal. It was even an old granny that I didn't know," a bespectacled girl said anxiously.
"That's why Boss Yuan looks cold on the outside but is warm on the inside. Maybe there will be beer and skewers tonight," Chen Wei summarized with a smile on his face.
"Your logic is wrong," Ling Hong said disdainfully.
"What does it have to do with whether Boss Yuan is kind or not and whether he abides by the rules or not? If he is kind, he won't be called Compass? "Ling Hong interrupted what Chen Wei was about to say and said seriously.
Once Ling Hong said that, the customers at the side were all dumbfounded. There was only one sentence in their mind.
"It seems to have nothing to do with him," this was what almost everyone was thinking.
The atmosphere was frozen for a moment. After a while, Chen Wei said, "It's starting soon. We will know if there will be beer if we ask."
"Yes, yes. We will know if we ask."
"Exactly. Just in case."
"Um, we will know if we ask."
Just when the customers were comforting themselves with words one after another, the barbecue time arrived.
For a moment, there seemed to be more people surrounding the entrance of the restaurant. Ling Hong took a closer look and found that the vendors at the side were also surrounding the restaurant. However, most of them were selling beer.
This was very obvious. Obviously, not only were the customers worried about whether Yuan Zhou would sell beer or not, the vendors were also very worried.
However, they hoped that Boss Yuan wouldn't sell beer so that their business could be more prosperous. This was completely different from the wishes of the customers.
Yuan Zhou was the only one at the barbecue in the evening. Therefore, no one came out to maintain order. However, everyone entered the restaurant in a line.
Chen Wei was the eighth person in line. The moment he entered the restaurant, he directly asked before he could say anything, "Boss Yuan, will there be beer for you to drink tonight?"
Upon hearing this question, the customers and vendors all pricked up their ears, waiting for Yuan Zhou's answer.
"No," Yuan Zhou raised his head and took a glance at Chen Wei before saying straightforwardly.
"Ah?"
"Oh!"
Two voices intertwined. One of them was a disappointed but expected customer, and the other was an excited vendor.
"Boss Yuan, kebabs and beer are a perfect match. How can you not have one?" Chen Wei said, unwilling to give up.
"Um, that's why there will be both." Yuan Zhou nodded his head to show his agreement.
Chen Wei choked and couldn't refute for a moment.
"Haha, there will be both. It's just that you can't eat them all at once." Ling Hong, on the other hand, pointed at Chen Wei and burst into laughter without any grace.
"What a pity." Chen Wei didn't bother to pay attention to Ling Hong and muttered.
"However, there will be a new dish today. Grilled fish." Yuan Zhou acted as if he didn't hear Chen Wei's pity and continued speaking.
