"Everyone, please take your time. After a while, the middle-aged man put the grilled skewers on an iron plate and sent them to Liu Mang's table.

"Boss, you taste it, it tastes good. Liu Chang greeted.

"Okay. Liu Mang answered, picked up a lamb skewer and brought it to his mouth, and took a bite: "Hmm...... Not bad indeed. ”

Lamb kebabs are not frozen lamb, but freshly slaughtered. The smell is very small, and it should be made of sheep, not goat meat.

Before the meat skewers are grilled, the boss does not marinate them beforehand, but dips them into the juice made by mixing eggs and starch. In this way, the grilled meat skewers will have a layer of charred crispy shell, which adds to the texture of the lamb.

There is not much chili flakes and cumin, but it is just right, without covering up the original umami of the mutton, making the mutton more tender and juicy, and the meat is full of aroma.

"The owner has two brushes. Liu Mang praised.

"yes. Liu Chang laughed: "This boss should have come here to set up a stall before yesterday." It's really not easy, this street sells supper, and he closes the stall at the latest, until five or six o'clock in the morning. ”

"Do it in the morning, why?" Liu Mang was a little strange.

For supper, the best business is around 90 o'clock in the evening, and when it is 1 or 2 o'clock in the evening, there are almost no people.

"Boss, you don't know, there is a chess and card room not far from this street, and many people there play all night, and when the game ends in the morning, there will be another round. Liu Chang explained.

"You're familiar with this. ”

"That's right, Cui Niu'er and I live nearby, and we grew up in this area. ”

"No wonder. Liu Mang nodded, and picked up a bunch of beef tendons.

Like broad beans, beef tendons are also marinated in brine in advance. The difference is that the beef ribs are marinated for a longer time and the texture is more rotten.

After a long period of marinating, the flavor of the brine has penetrated into the tendons, and then it is grilled on charcoal until slightly yellowed, and sprinkled with large cumin and hot chili noodles, which is an excellent match for sake.

"Come, let's go. Liu Mang ate a string of tendons and took the initiative to raise his wine glass.

"Cheers!" the three cups clinked together.

"By the way, how long have you been singing on the streets?" asked Liu Mang.

"It's been a lot of time, years. Liu Chang thought for a while: "No way, I've liked this since I was a child." ”

"Then you ......" Liu Mang said halfway, and then held back stiffly. This is someone else's hobby, and you don't need to worry about it.

"The boss wanted to ask if we could support ourselves. Liu Chang said with a smile.

"Uh......" Liu Mang was a little embarrassed.

"Singing is just one way for us to realize our dreams, and if we really use it as a career, we would have starved to death. ”

"yes, we all have other jobs. Cui Niu'er also laughed: "I am the text editor of the TV program, and Liu Chang is the music teacher at the school. ”

"That's right. ”

"Boss, do you have any hobbies?" asked Cui Nu'er.

"Hobbies? Does cooking count?"

"Besides cooking?"

"It seems that there is no more. Liu Mang shook his head: "In addition to cooking, I don't have any other special hobbies." ”

"It's a blessing to be able to do what you love. Chang Cuier and Liu Chang looked envious.

"Well, it's quite happy. ”

"Blame me, blame me, I don't want to do this!" At this time, the man at the barbecue stall quarreled with the proprietress again.

They were very quiet and deliberately lowered the volume, but Liu Mang's table was closest to the barbecue stand, so he could still hear it clearly.

"Tell me, do I have low requirements? After so many years with you, even if it's hard work, I just want to open my own store, and I don't have to be chased around every day, scared, is this a low requirement?" The proprietress wiped her tears while wearing squid.

The owner of the barbecue stall hung his head, squatted on the ground and smoked a smoking, without saying a word.

"Your brother has uremia, I didn't say I wouldn't save it! But after saving the money for so long, it will be used up at once, and I feel uncomfortable, can't I lose my temper?"

"Hair, hair, I'll listen. The man sighed and muttered.

"How many times have you said that our family's profits are already low, why don't you buy some cheap goods? I see that other barbecue stalls also buy mutton from the Chengnan market, isn't their business not bad?"

"How can that be done? Chengnan Market sells all frozen goods and duck shoulder meat, how can it be compared to fresh mutton? What should I do if I eat bad people? Do you pay for it?" the man couldn't help but retort.

"Whatever you want!" The proprietress snorted: "When will this day be the end......"

"Boss, some more bars. This meat skewer is really enjoyable!" Liu Chang asked when he saw that the wine bottle on the table was empty.

"Okay, I'll go get it. Liu Mang stood up and walked to the barbecue stall: "Boss, get us a few more bottles of beer." ”

"Do you want ice or room temperature?" The proprietress saw someone coming and quickly stood up.

Her tears were still flowing, but the smile was already on her face. The hand that reached for the tissue in the cold wind retracted, took a cheap roll of paper from the barbecue, and wiped his eyes.

"It's room temperature, drink it warmly. This small detail of the proprietress touched Liu Mang and made him feel a little sour.

It turns out that no matter how difficult the days are and how impermanent the world is, life still has to go on.

After taking a few bottles of beer, Liu Mang walked back to the table and drank with Liu Chang.

"Thank you, next time you come to my store, I invite you. After drinking and parting, Liu Mang said.

"Hi ~ boss, you're too polite. Liu Chang waved his hand.

"Boss, let's go first. ”

"Goodbye. ”

After Liu Chang and Cui Niu'er left, Liu Mang stared at the barbecue stall just now, and his mood couldn't calm down for a long time.

There were a lot of guests at the barbecue stall again, and the boss and the proprietress were busy with smiles on their faces.

They are just very ordinary, ordinary beings among all living beings, but they also have touching qualities. It's not just food, it's more......

Even if life is difficult, he will not go against his heart, and even if the love is bitter, he will live a life with an iron heart.

"I seem to ...... I seem to understand something. ”

"Ding!" The voice of the space sounded in Liu Mang's mind.

[Feeling the Heart of the Holy Chef, current progress 16/10000]

"There are actually ten points, is it because of persistence?" Liu Mang muttered to himself after receiving the prompt from the system.

In the dim light, in the smoke, the barbecue stand across the street exudes a unique human touch.

"Thank you!" Liu Mang said softly, with a hint of a smile on his lips: "The heart of the Holy Chef!
