Chapter 408 Banggeng starts setting up a stall

The bicycle whose spokes were replaced has been used for all kinds of things before. Who knows what may have gotten on the spokes.

After soaking for most of the day, in the afternoon, Jia Zhang cleaned the soaked spokes, and Bang Geng also took out the mutton and beef bought by Jia Zhang and Yi Zhonghai. Yan Bugui and Liu Haizhong were also pulled over by Yi Zhonghai at this time.

Seeing the meat that Jia Zhang bought, Yan Bugui sighed inwardly. As expected, Jia Zhang only bought one pound of mutton. There are five people in the Jia family, plus Yi Zhonghai, his own family, and Liu Haizhong's family, which means ten people, and ten people can eat one pound of meat.

Yan Bugui sighed inwardly, if it weren't for Sha Zhu who decided how much meat and how many vegetables the Jia family had for their meals, if Jia Zhang was allowed to prepare it, then a lot of people would just eat noodles all day long.

Jia Zhang didn't care what Yan Bugui was thinking. She could only dream of asking him to pay for things.

Bang Geng carefully looked at the spokes that the three uncles had found. This thing was okay to use, but you couldn't put too much meat on it. Bang Geng used a knife to cut the meat into sizes suitable for the thin skewer, while Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong slightly modified the spokes.

One end needs to be flattened and pointed with a hammer, and the other side needs to be rolled up with pliers so that it won't slip.

Time passed quickly and night came. Shazhu, Qin Huairu, Xiaodang and Huaihua all came back. As soon as they came back, they saw Banggeng busy in front of the stove. The whole courtyard was filled with the aroma of barbecue.

Others, whether they were the original residents of the courtyard or the new tenants, were all grumbling in their hearts when they saw this large family. The composition of this family was too complicated. They had no father or mother, and the families had almost no blood relationship.

Fortunately, the original residents had long been accustomed to living together with the Jia family and Yi Zhonghai. Even with the addition of Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui, everyone just sighed a few words. The new tenants didn't care so much and called them fools in their hearts. It was because they didn't know what happened to Sha Zhu, otherwise they wouldn't call Sha Zhu a fool. Isn't this a pure injustice?

As soon as Sha Zhu came back, he smelled the food. He picked up a bunch of freshly roasted pork and looked at it carefully. The cooking time was acceptable, at least it was cooked. Although there were some problems with the pickling method, most people couldn't taste it.

"Kid, keep it up. You can become a master now. If possible, practice more and master the skill." Sha Zhu gave his own conclusion. It is no problem to open a small stall with this skill.

"Did you hear me, Banggeng? Now that you have this skill, you should do it well in the future." Qin Huairu was very happy. Before, she gave all the money in her passbook to Banggeng in order to support his business. She always regretted that she should not have been greedy and invested all the money. If she could have saved some money at that time, it would not be a small stall now, and she could open a barbecue restaurant. Nowadays, those barbecue restaurants outside are doing a booming business.

"Yes, brother, your cooking skills are really good." Xiaodang and Huaihua were also eating skewers. They were very dissatisfied with Banggeng because Banggeng had lost the dowry that Shazhu had prepared for them.

Now that Banggeng finally has a decent job, the two of them can be said to have breathed a sigh of relief. The dowry that Shazhu prepares for them will probably not be lost by Banggeng.

"Banggeng, have you decided where to set up your stall?" Qin Huairu did not compete with everyone for the barbecue. The meat was limited in quantity, and Yi Zhonghai had divided the amount for each person before it was cooked.

Qin Huairu handed the skewers of meat in her hand to Jia Zhang and Bang Geng. Now the ones who ate the most meat at the table were Yan Bugui and Jia Zhang.

"I've thought about it. I've decided to go to the street near the cinema. There are quite a lot of people there at night, especially after watching a movie. If you're hungry, you'll have to eat some skewers." Banggeng had already found out the place. There were quite a lot of people setting up stalls there, so he could go there to learn from their experience.

As for the price of the skewers, it depends on how much meat is on a skewer. According to Sha Zhu, it is better to use large skewers, which is also satisfying to eat, but others are not very happy, especially Jia Zhang, who thinks that large skewers are a bit wasteful of meat. Others do not agree with Sha Zhu's idea. It's not about whether it is wasteful or not, but the skewers for the skewers are bicycle spokes, which are thin and soft. If there are too many things on the skewer, they will easily fall to the ground, which is too easy to waste.

After discussion among the whole family, Banggeng's small business was finally opened. For this, he did not even have to apply for a business license and health permit.

Sha Zhu even invested in a tricycle for him. After dinner the next night, Bang Geng quickly rode the tricycle to the street near the cinema.

Banggeng found a spot that looked better and was about to park the car to unload his things.

"Hey, kid, that's not your place."

Bang Geng was stunned for a moment. He had never suffered such injustice before. He had finally found a good position. Could it be that someone wanted to cause trouble for him?
Looking up, Bang Geng realized that it was a vendor selling small accessories not far away.

It seems that this person is not here to compete with him for the position, but Banggeng is a little curious now. Could it be that this position is reserved for someone? As a newcomer, he has to find out some information.

Banggeng has been a smart kid since he was young. When he was little, he dared to use the news that Ran Qiuye was coming to visit his home to ask Shazhu for money. Now of course he can see that the small vendor in front of him is not joking. There must be something here that he doesn't know.

Thinking of this, Bang Geng cleverly came over, took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed it over: "Big brother, I'm a newcomer here, is there any trick here?"

Banggeng's time in prison was not in vain. He was familiar with some of the unspoken rules and knew who he could offend and who he could not.

The vendor selling small accessories saw that Bang Geng was so considerate and no longer hid the truth from him: "This street has taken a long time to form. You can't just set up stalls here. There are people everywhere."

After saying this, the vendor in front of him pointed to the ground on the street next to him.

Banggeng looked carefully and found that there were indeed yellow painted streaks on the roadside of the whole street. However, it seemed that it had been there for a long time, and the yellow paint looked a little mottled. Banggeng didn't pay any attention to it at first.

"Isn't this a place where you can just set up stalls?" Bang Geng was a little puzzled. He hadn't been out for so long, could it be that someone was still in charge of this place? When he and Xu Damao were learning how to show movies before, there was nothing on this street.

"Well, wasn't there a severe crackdown before? I don't know where the people on this street started collecting management fees and stall fees." The vendors didn't know the specific situation, they only knew that if they didn't pay the stall fees, someone would make trouble. They didn't dare to bully people blatantly, but some small tricks could make things worse.

Banggeng understood now, but he had to hand it over. The meat on his tricycle was skewered, and if he really had a conflict with someone, the meat would definitely go bad.

"The stalls here are not actually fixed, it's just that everyone has worked for a long time and has fixed stalls. If you rashly go up and occupy someone else's stall, you might get into a fight." The hawker obviously also hopes that this market can be a little more normal. After all, he is here to do business, not to watch people fight.
