As soon as Li Mingqin's words came out, other members of the family also expressed their positions. Maybe it's because only Li Mingbao was the most worried in the family before, but now Li Mingbao has the appearance of a prodigal son, so even if the barbecue stall is like window paper, it's not worth mentioning it, but everyone gave Li Mingbao a lot of encouragement.

In the end, even Li Guangxin, who wanted Li Mingbao to help in the tea restaurant during the day, felt that it was a good idea to let Li Mingbao come out and make a barbecue stall on his own. Originally, the practice of closing the tea restaurant at night in Hong Kong is more wasteful, and if it is to rent out the store at night and hand it over to outsiders, Li Guangxin is not very happy. And now it just so happens that Li Mingbao has such an idea, it is better to simply let Li Mingbao do things, which can not only tie Li Mingbao's heart, but also let Li Mingbao have a proper business, compared to Li Mingbao fooling around outside, it is really much better.

Since the whole family is in favor of this business, Li Mingbao also began to make preparations. Hong Kong is a fast-paced place, and even a fast movie can be done in a week, let alone a small barbecue stand.

The two most important prerequisites for making barbecue, one is to have a barbecue grill, one is to be a barbecue master, although the barbecue grill is also sold in Hong Kong, but the barbecue grills sold are quite high-end, the main sales objects are those Hong Kong tycoons, they use their own homes, do barbecue parties and other high-end things, although such a barbecue grill is also suitable for Li Mingbao's barbecue business, but the cost of such a barbecue grill is too high, not suitable for street shops, can be used practical is the characteristics of street shops, So Li Mingbao didn't think about those high-end barbecue grills at all, and directly found a welding master, materials and labor, the total cost is less than 30 Hong Kong dollars, and it is strong and durable, compared to those high-end barbecue grills, the price of hundreds of dollars at every turn, thousands of Hong Kong dollars, although the appearance is not so good-looking, but it is sturdy, it is definitely a fight.

With a barbecue grill, you also need a barbecue master, after Li Mingbao has that memory, although he can also barbecue, and the taste is not bad, but such a thing is not easy to tell the people in the family, so he had to bother the Uncle Chen who said before and asked him to come over to help.

This is also an opportunity for Uncle Chen, those uncles who came to Hong Kong with the Li family before, two or three hundred people, not many people are doing well, and Uncle Chen happens to be the group of people who are not doing well, and now he is Li Mingbao's barbecue master, as long as the barbecue stall can gain a foothold in Hong Kong, it will definitely change his living situation.

Originally, Li Mingbao also planned to copy the bamboo skewers or wooden skewers on the big 6, but he didn't expect this simple thing to become a trouble in Hong Kong. Because Hong Kong is a small place, disposable items such as skewers need to be imported in Hong Kong, as long as they are stained with the word import, the price is not too cheap. If it is something that can be used continuously, it doesn't matter if it is imported, but the problem is that those things like bamboo skewers are basically things that have to be thrown away after being used once, so the cost will increase a lot.

Although the price of iron skewers is much more expensive than bamboo skewers and wooden skewers, this is a recyclable thing, and the cost is very low in comparison. For this reason, all of Li Mingbao's original start-up capital is missing a large piece, and the cost of these inconspicuous iron skewers is several times higher than the cost of barbecue grills.

After three days of busy work, the barbecue tools that Li Mingbao needed were thoroughly prepared. The channels of raw materials can be regarded as being opened, and the wine problem that Li Mingbao is most concerned about has also been completely solved.

At this time, that is, everything is ready, only the east wind is owed, as long as it opens at night, you will know whether this barbecue stall can succeed or not. As for Li Mingbao's brothers and sisters, they are just cheering for Li Mingbao behind the scenes, as for Li Mingbao, as for Li Mingbao, there are only two people, as for Li Mingbao, there is only hehehe.

Of course, the family didn't do too much, at least the work of skewering barbecue skewers, they also came to help. And Li Mingbao's two elder brothers, Li Minghuang and Li Minghu, patted their chests and said that when the barbecue stall opened in the evening, they would pull a group of people to cheer Li Mingbao on.

At 10 o'clock in the evening, the street of Lee Kee Tea Restaurant began to become lively, and although it was only the late 70s, the commercial atmosphere in Causeway Bay was gradually revealed.

In the past, at this time, Li Ji Tea Restaurant was basically about to close, but today, the owners of those shops next to Li Ji Tea Restaurant appeared, Li Ji Tea Restaurant not only did not show signs of closing, but began to get busy, from time to time people were busy in and out of the door of Li Ji Tea Restaurant, placing some tables, chairs and benches, and setting up an iron shelf outside.

For such a situation, the vendors around Li Ji Tea Restaurant couldn't help but feel worried while secretly wondering.

"Lao Zhou, why did Li Ji start a night market business? Do you know who rented their storefront? Why didn't you hear any wind at all? They're doing a good job of secrecy, aren't they? Boss Li, who also did the night market business next door, asked another boss Li next to him.

Hearing Boss Li's question, Boss Zhou also felt inexplicable. To say that in this street, his Lao Zhou is also a well-known figure, and he basically can't hide anything from him. But when Li Ji came out of the night market, he also wondered, he was so well-informed, but he didn't know anything about Li Ji, which was really strange.

Li Kee's night snack business is also a big deal for the whole street, after all, Li Kee's faΓ§ade is big and the location is good, and he used to only do daytime business, which has little impact on their night stalls, and no one goes to a tea restaurant for a supper at night. But if you want to do a night market, you can make money by virtue of the good location of Li Kee, and you can make money by doing anything.

Although the location here in Causeway Bay is good, and the night market is also very lively, but the total number of people is so much, Li Ji is a night stall, which will definitely divert the source of customers, and the night stalls that are far away from Li Ji may not have much impact, but next to Li Kee's boss Zhou Boss Li Boss They will definitely suffer.

If Boss Zhou and they were prepared, it would be fine, but Li Ji made a night stall so quietly, which could be regarded as catching them off guard. It was originally a hard business, but if it was done by Li Ji, who knows what will happen. Even if I don't know what Li Ji is going to do now, it's definitely a threat.

Thinking of this, Boss Zhou said sullenly: "You ask me, who do I ask?" What is Li Ji doing, do you still want to notify us? It's a blessing or a curse, and it's a disaster that can't be avoided. If you are really diverted, then you can only consider yourself unlucky. ”

Hearing Boss Zhou say this, Boss Li was not happy: "Think you're unlucky? I said Lao Zhou, are you usually quite bold from time to time? How do you deal with Li Ji? There are so many customers in total, Li Ji does business, doesn't it cut off our financial route, this cutting off people's financial route, it is like killing his parents, how can he do it? ”

"him?" Boss Zhou glanced at Boss Li disdainfully: "You dare to set up Li Ji's stall today, don't think about your stall tomorrow, you are a vegetarian when Li Kee is a vegetarian?" I am also an old man on this street, which of the diners who have made trouble in Li Ji for so many years has a good end? You kid came late, I don't know their Li Ji's majesty, dare to fight Li Ji's idea, that's purely idle your own life, if you really want to have such an idea, then you stay away from me, I don't want to be implicated by you. ”

Hearing Boss Zhou say this, Boss Li's face turned white all of a sudden, he just thought that Li Ji's night stall was blocking his financial route, but he forgot what Li Ji was doing to eat. Thinking about it this way, what he said just now is really idle for his own long life.

"I'm sorry, Boss Zhou, I really forgot about that, just now, you just let me fart, and I'll invite you to kill chickens in two days."

"Okay, you also know my old Zhou's personality, even if the horse kills the chicken or something, it's not easy for you to make money, let's go have a drink when we have time." Looking at it like this, Li Ji is going to do a night stall, so I don't know if they do it themselves or rent it to someone outside, if they do it themselves, then don't mention anything, but if it's for outsiders, let's try it a little bit, maybe there will be a chance. ”

The conversation between Boss Li and Boss Zhou can be regarded as expressing the voices of those night stalls around Li Ji. Li Ji night stalls, which have not yet opened, are like giant beasts looking down at the surrounding night stalls, which has brought them great pressure.

At this time, Li Mingbao and Uncle Chen were busy in Li Ji Tea Restaurant, but they couldn't care about the thoughts of the bosses outside, they were busy moving goods. Because it was the first day of opening, and there was no publicity, although there were three brothers and four brothers who brought people to cheer, Li Mingbao, the raw material for the barbecue, did not prepare too much, and all kinds of skewers were only prepared for a few hundred skewers.

By the time Li Mingbao and the others had finished it, it was already half past ten in the evening, and at this time, the night market in Causeway Bay had also begun to be lively, and the whole street was paved with people coming and going. Selling supper, selling clothes, fortune tellers, selling accessories, all kinds of shouting sounds, plus various fragrances of supper, and the smell of people's sweat, form a unique taste.

Although Li Mingbao's barbecue stall has also started to work, none of them are ready to sit down, because the barbecue made by Li Mingbao and them is very fresh compared to Hong Kong people. Very few people will grill all kinds of ingredients directly through an iron fence, if you just grill meat, it will not make people feel novel, but there are garlic sprouts and other vegetables also put on the roast, it is really confusing for well-informed Hong Kong people.
