"Zhang Yunfeng and Cao Yuxin have not known each other for a long time. I heard that they only got along at the beginning of this year, which only took a few months."

Tang Min asked: "Xiao Cao's family should be well off, right? He just has a bad personality and is a bit squeamish."

This statement sounds like an explicit compliment, but is actually a subtle derogatory statement.

Zhu Man quickly replied: "Zhang Yunfeng took Cao Yuxin to my shop to have her nails done several times. To be honest, I don't like her very much either."

Su Xiaolin asked curiously: "Why?"

Zhu Man took off the disposable gloves that were stained with grease and sauce and explained: "It's mainly about money. The prices for my manicures are clearly marked. Of course, when acquaintances come, they will definitely give discounts. But she is nice and likes more than 400.

The manicure and care package, he just gave me 50 yuan... I have been running the store for so long, and I have never seen anyone haggling so hard."

Su Xiaolin felt like she was hearing a fantasy, and exclaimed in a low voice: "For a set meal of more than 400 yuan, give me 50 yuan... This is too exaggerated!"

Zhu Man smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I must make money when I open a store. I admit that the price tag is more than 400 yuan, and the actual purchase price of materials is about 42 yuan. But I still have to add the store rent, water and electricity, craftsmanship, etc...

…After the overall calculation, the cost is at least 150 to 180.”

Yin Li said thoughtfully: "I understand. She should have checked the price of manicure materials, otherwise she would not have given the price of fifty yuan."

Zhu Man sighed and looked at her boyfriend Wang Jie sitting opposite: "You have a good relationship with Zhang Yunfeng. For his sake, I agreed to do it for fifty yuan once. But I also said it openly - it's normal.

Under the circumstances, this price is impossible to pay anyway. After all, we are all friends, I will take care of you, and I hope you can introduce customers in the future and help take care of the business."

Tang Min nodded: "That's true."

Zhu Manda expressed her bitterness: "But I didn't expect that Cao Yuxin didn't take my words to heart at all. She came again the next week and brought two women, saying they were colleagues from her work. There were guests.

Of course I'm happy! But she told me that she wanted to do the nail care package that cost more than 400 yuan last time."

Su Xiaolin understood immediately and asked with a look of disbelief: "You mean, if Cao Yuxin helps them bargain, will the price be the same or only 50 yuan?"

Zhu Man nodded and said angrily: "I refused at that time, saying that the price was impossible. Her two friends were not happy when they heard that, and shouted to her, "We have treated you to a big dinner.

Why don't you keep your word?" Later I realized that after a long time, Cao Yuxin used my work as a benefit, saying that she would do their nails at cost price, and let her colleagues treat her to a seafood hotpot."

Wang Jie frowned and asked, "Why don't I know about this?"

Zhu Man replied: "You usually have a lot of things to do and are busy at work. I thought it was a woman's business anyway, so there is no need to tell you. Besides, how long have Zhang Yunfeng and Cao Yuxin known each other? Those who are married can get divorced, both men and women

My friend is not sure when exactly we will be able to get along. Maybe after a while, there is no need to mention it again."

No one spoke, and the place was silent.

Tang Min saw that the time was almost up, stood up, and laughed loudly and proudly: "Don't be so heavy-minded. Just be happy when you go out to play. Come, come, come, hurry up and move things to barbecue. I have been busy for most of the day.

, I’m almost starving to death!”

…

Strings of barbecue are placed on the shelf, and the red-hot bamboo charcoal releases energy. The oil smoke stings the nose, and is also mixed with the tempting aroma of food. There is also a mouth-watering "sizzling" sound in the air.

Hu Pingtao opened bottles of drinks and beer and handed them to each person's hands. At the same time, he loudly warned: "Watch it for yourself. If you drink, don't drive!"

Ding Jian is a typical foodie. He keeps flipping the meat skewers and sprinkling a little seasoning on them from time to time.

Looking at Tang Min who was busy, Wang Jie deliberately raised his thumb and said flatteringly: "I can see that my sister-in-law is a good cook. Brother Zhang is so lucky!"

Zhang Mingquan was very happy to hear this. He walked slowly to his wife, held her shoulders with both hands, and said with a smile: "Our Amin's barbecue is excellent. Everyone is in for a treat today."

Su Xiaolin asked with interest: "Sister Tang, I didn't expect you to have this skill?"

Tang Min smiled modestly and explained: "My father used to open a barbecue stall. Although I was in school at that time, sometimes the store was busy and the business was good, so I would go and help. The more I did, the more I would do it.

Got it."

As she spoke, she grabbed a large handful of meat skewers from the plate, put them on the grill, brushed them with oil and sprinkled them with condiments, mainly cumin and chili powder, with a skillful movement.

Barbecuing pays attention to using "open charcoal", which is a charcoal block without an open flame after it is fully burned. Because the heat is even, the grilled meat is particularly delicious. If the charcoal block burns out, new charcoal must be added, and you must wait until it is burned.

You can continue baking only after the flame goes out.

There is only one stove and the grill area is limited, so Tang Min can only operate it alone.

Everyone gathered around, their mouths full of food.

Hu Pingtao ate five skewers of meat in a row, which tasted really good. Paired with beer, it felt indescribably enjoyable.

Seeing Tang Min sitting in front of the grill, sweating and working non-stop, he felt a little sorry. He quickly stood up and said, "Sister Tang, you are tired after working for a long time. Let's change. You can take a rest."

As he spoke, he rolled up his sleeves.

Both these words and Hu Pingtao’s actions are normal.

Tang Min was indeed a little tired and really hungry. She did not refuse, stood up and said with a smile: "Okay! You can do it!"

As soon as Hu Pingtao took a step forward, Cao Yuxin, who was sitting diagonally opposite, suddenly stood up. In full view of everyone, she strode up to Hu Pingtao, stretched out her hand to hold his arm, and dissuaded him: "Don't do this, Miss Tang."

They are professional and the baked goods taste great, can you compare?"

With one sentence, everyone present was immediately stunned.

It took Hu Pingtao several seconds to react. He said subconsciously: "Sister Tang has been busy for most of the day and hasn't even eaten a bite!"

Cao Yuxin asked: "Is your roast as delicious as Sister Tang's?"

Hu Pingtao frowned: "Then you can't just let Sister Tang work and not let her eat, right?"

Seeing this, Zhang Yunfeng quickly stood up and smoothed things over: "Brother Hu is right, it's time for Sister Tang to rest, or I should do it!"

Things seemed to be normal up to this point, but Cao Yuxin suddenly exploded.

She got angry at Zhang Yunfeng: "Can you please stop getting involved?"

Zhang Yunfeng also became angry: "What do you mean?"

Cao Yuxin bit her lip, said nothing, turned around and ran away angrily.

The atmosphere suddenly became awkward.

Hu Pingtao stretched out his hand and pulled Zhang Yunfeng, and whispered: "She is a girl in the wilderness. Let's just talk about it. You can catch up and persuade her. Just have fun when you come out to play, and don't make everyone unhappy.

.”

Zhang Yunfeng thought that this was indeed the case, so he frowned and turned around to leave.

Hu Pingtao sat down at Tang Min's seat and started grilling meat.

Yin Li, Su Xiaolin, Zhu Man and Tang Min gathered together. Su Xiaolin asked cautiously: "What's wrong with Xiao Cao? Sister Tang didn't provoke her!"

Yin Li had her own logic for this: "Who knows... To be honest, I don't like this woman. From the time we got off the bus to now, she has done nothing and is too lazy to do anything. If it were me, I'd be beaten to death."

I won’t marry her."

Tang Min smiled and persuaded: "What a mouthful you are! Fortunately, Xiao Zhang is not here. Don't say such things when they come back later."

Yin Li curled her lips: "I just said that because they were not here."

She then turned to Wang Jie, who was sitting opposite: "Don't bring this woman to the next party."

Zhang Mingquan just finished eating a skewer of barbecue. He patted Wang Jie on the shoulder and smiled at Yin Li: "This matter today has nothing to do with Wang Jie. Xiao Cao is Zhang Yunfeng's girlfriend."

Zhu Man didn't speak for a long time. She sighed faintly: "Let's go back early after eating later! I guess Cao Yuxin will have to be a demon after she comes back... Otherwise, when she returns to the city at night, Wang Jie, you

Let Zhang Yunfeng and Cao Yuxin get off the car and leave first, and let's find another place to continue drinking?"

This is good advice.

Hu Pingtao's barbecue was not slow, but because Cao Yuxin made such a fuss, everyone lost their appetite, and there was a lot of discussion. The beer and drinks were consumed very quickly, and the box was quickly filled with empty bottles.

Half an hour later, Zhang Yunfeng and Cao Yuxin came back.

She was still angry, and Zhang Yunfeng reluctantly took her right hand and dragged her back.

There were already more than a dozen skewers of grilled meat on the plate. In order to lighten the atmosphere, Hu Pingtao quickly picked up two skewers of cooked meat from the grill and handed them over, saying with a smile: "Eat this, it's freshly grilled and still hot.

"

Zhang Yunfeng was a good person, so he quickly took it and ate up the skewered meat in two mouthfuls. He wiped the corner of his mouth and walked up to Hu Pingtao, and said with a smile: "You have been busy for a long time, let me do it instead!"

Before she finished speaking, Cao Yuxin, who was standing next to her, exploded again. She raised her finger and pointed at Zhang Yunfeng and screamed: "You are not allowed to bake!"

Everyone was confused again.

The corners of Hu Pingtao's eyes twitched slightly.

He really didn't understand what Cao Yuxin was thinking.

Could it be that the anger just now hasn’t gone away yet?

Or are you still having trouble with Zhang Yunfeng?

Thinking of this, Hu Pingtao gently raised his hand to push Zhang Yunfeng and said jokingly: "Okay, okay, I don't need you here. It's more serious to go over and accompany your girlfriend."

The muscles on Zhang Yunfeng's face were tense, and he was obviously unhappy, but it could be seen that he was trying to control his emotions. He nodded to Hu Pingtao, turned around and walked to Cao Yuxin.

Unexpectedly, Cao Yuxin screamed again. She raised her hand and pointed at Hu Pingtao first, and then turned her finger to Tang Min: "You can't even bake it, you have to let her do it."

Then he added: "She bakes delicious food."

The direction of these words was too obvious. Zhang Mingquan stood up from the folding chair, walked to Tang Min, held her shoulders with both hands, and the two of them looked at Cao Yuxin silently, with unkind glances in their eyes.

Zhang Yunfeng felt that he was really embarrassed and almost lost all his face. He asked angrily in a low voice: "What's wrong with you? Why do you have to let Sister Tang roast you?"
