It didn't work on the first day, and it didn't work on the second day.

It wasn't until seven days later that the number of people who came to drink on the strings increased significantly, from about half past seven in the evening to eleven o'clock in the evening, there were basically no empty seats during this time, Wang Peng became a barbecue master in greasy clothes, Ma Long and Zhang Xiaodong became waiters, and the three of them basically didn't even have the kung fu to chat nonsense.

There are too many people who come to buy skewers, and if there is no seat, they will take it home to eat, and the business of public barbecue is booming, and even the surrounding rice noodle shops and dumpling shops are doing well.

In just half a month, Ma Long has a net profit of nearly 20,000 yuan, and after returning Uncle Guo's money, there are more than 10,000 yuan left in his hand, and even Zhang Xiaodong is secretly surprised: "This thing is so profitable, I don't want to sell sandwich cakes, and I will open a barbecue restaurant one day, right next to you." ”

Every time Malone would kick him in the ass and scold: "You hurry up, do you want to steal my business? Believe it or not, I will press your mouth on your ass?"

Zhang Xiaodong is not angry, after all, everyone feels good about each other.

At the beginning, the army kicked over Ma Long's oven, and Zhang Xiaodong, who has always been timid and afraid, dared to run over to persuade him.

And when Ma Long knew that the army was looking for someone to deal with him, he didn't let Zhang Xiaodong go with him, but faced it alone.

Both of them knew this in their hearts, but neither of them mentioned it.

When a man makes friends, he makes a heart.

Therefore, although the two have not known each other for a long time, in less than a month, the relationship between the two has warmed up rapidly.

Ma Long also understood in his heart that the business in the store was so good, Wang Peng contributed a lot, he took out 3,000 yuan to Wang Peng, Wang Peng said why not, said that when I was most depressed, let me eat a meal for nothing, and give me 50 yuan, which is more meaningful than the current 3,000.

Ma Long was not reluctant, but just told Wang Peng, if you use the money, tell me, we don't have 180,000, and I will take out 35,000 at any time.

As the business gets better and better, Uncle Guo's tricycle can no longer meet the needs of purchases, just pulling beer back and forth to buy several trips, Ma Long has a total in his heart, and plans to buy a second-hand van, it doesn't matter if it is broken, as long as it can be driven.

In addition, he plans to change the storefront, because the store is too small, and once the store is expanded, the barbecue stove, tables, chairs and benches will definitely not meet the demand, and these will cost money.

But the money in his hand is not enough at all, he asked Zhang Xiaodong to sum up, the two hit it off, Zhang Xiaodong stopped selling sandwich cakes, and opened a barbecue restaurant with Ma Long, his store was used as a warehouse for beer and raw materials, and the money for buying a van was shared equally between the two of them, and the operating profits of the public barbecue were equally shared.

Zhang Xiaodong also has a sick father at home, but fortunately, Zhang Xiaodong is pragmatic and capable over the years, and has saved a lot of money, he went to the bank and took 20,000 yuan to Ma Long, and Ma Long has less than 20,000 yuan in his hand, and there must be no money at home, he hesitated for a long time to call Liu Jinhu, no one answered the first time, and hung up directly the second time, and turned off the phone when he called again.

In desperation, Ma Long dialed Wu Jing's mobile phone number again.

"You finally remember that you owe me a meal. Wu Jing's lazy voice came from the opposite side, she was taking a nap.

"Yes, yes, sisters, you can pick a location!" said Marlon very attentively.

"At eight o'clock in the evening, Zhuge grilled fish, is there a problem?"

"It has to be fine. ”

After saying that, the two hung up the phone.

At 7:50 that night, Ma Long stood at the door of Zhuge Grilled Fish and waited, smoking absentmindedly, but he was thinking about how to borrow money from Wu Jing for a while.

At eight o'clock, a taxi stalled on the side of the road, and Wu Jing got out of the car wearing a dress.

Ma Long's eyes suddenly lit up, when he met Wu Jing again after so many years, she was wearing a more serious police uniform.

Today's Wu Jing is wearing a pure white dress, with shiny high heels on her feet, this dress is clearly a college student who has walked out of the campus, young and cute, no one will associate her with such a serious profession as a policeman.

He immediately greeted him, touched his head and smiled, "You're very different today!"

"What's the difference?" Wu Jing asked Ma Long as she walked towards the door of Zhuge Grilled Fish.

“…… You're wearing this dress today, and it's pretty good. Ma Long held back for a long time before he said this.

At the same time, his gaze swept over Wu Jing's white and sexy collarbone, and he couldn't help but stir his Adam's apple and swallowed a mouthful of spit.

"Nonsense, isn't Miss Ben beautiful if she doesn't wear a skirt?" Wu Jingjiao snorted and gave Ma Long a big roll of her eyes.

"No, no, no, I mean you are beautiful in everything you wear, which is called natural beauty and hard to give up, hehe!"

Ma Long hurriedly flattered and opened the door for Wu Jing like a grandson.

When the two of them sat down in the store, Ma Long pushed the menu in front of Wu Jing and said very atmosphericly: "You can just order it at will." ”

"Are you rich?" Wu Jing's eyes widened.

"What kind of fortune, I invite you to dinner, can you care about this little money?"

"Why don't you order this?"

Wu Jing pointed to the most expensive dish on the menu.

Ma Long was immediately dumbfounded, and it was written that the restaurant's signature dish, Wuchang grilled fish, was priced at eight hundred and eighty-eight.

"What's wrong?

"Cut, isn't it just a fish? I can't afford to eat it, what's the matter? Come, waiter, serve me the most expensive dish you've got here!"

Ma Long's face was full of care, but his heart was bleeding.

Eight hundred and eighty-eight, how many skewers do you have to sell!

The two chatted while eating, during which Ma Long told Wu Jing about opening a barbecue restaurant, and Wu Jing said that it was good, at least there was something to do.

Ma Long laughed and said that the business is quite good now, he wants to expand the store, but the money in his hand is not enough, and asks Wu Jing if he can borrow him a little.

"How much?" asked Wu Jing as she took a sip of her drink.

"Thirty thousand is enough. ”

Ma Long replied that now he not only needs to buy vans and other tools, but also to subsidize his family, although the relationship between him and Ma Huishan is not harmonious, and every time there is a conflict, they will quarrel.

But Malone still went home in a week to buy him some daily necessities, pork and vegetable salad oil, and bulk liquor and low-grade cigarettes were essential.

Now Malone is no longer extravagant, he doesn't want to get drunk every time, as long as he can not gamble, drink too much and don't make trouble, thank God.

After finishing speaking, Ma Long stared at Wu Jing, he was not sure if Wu Jing would lend him money, even if he would, whether Wu Jing would have so much money.

Unexpectedly, Wu Jing agreed and asked Ma Long if 30,000 yuan was enough.

Ma Long smiled, he didn't expect Wu Jing to agree so simply.

He slapped the table excitedly: "Waiter, come, serve me two more beers?"

Looking at the empty wine bottles on the table, Wu Jing asked with a ruddy face, "Are you still drinking?"

"The last two bottles. Malone blinked his eyes and said with another intention.
