Aunt Li and her husband had been doing business in this area for quite a while. They had some returning customers who were students, white collar workers, nighttime runners, and even some dog walkers.

It was funny how even dog walkers became their customers. One time, a person was walking by the food cart with a huge dog. He bought 50 yuan's worth of BBQ skewers. Aunt Li and her husband thought that he was taking the skewers home to share with friends and family; however, the customer gave the meat to his dog.

Of course, such behavior disgusted other customers. So later on, when a customer came by with a dog, Aunt Li or her husband would ask who the skewers were for. If the customer was planning to feed the dog with the skewers, they would have him feed it somewhere else.

”Honey, how much more do we need?” Seeing that there were no customers around, Aunt Li secretly asked her husband.

Her husband was intimidated. ”Look at you… I don't ever remember how many times I have told you. After everything, we need an extra 10 thousand Yuan. That's not a big deal. We should be able to borrow it somewhere.”

”Good.” Aunt Li was happy. She looked down the street in the dusk. From what she could see, there were four restaurants on this road already, including one large restaurant and three small specialized ones. Other than that, there was another fried chicken store.

To open a store on this road would be highly competitive. It would be the same anywhere else though. Any industry was competitive as long as it offered a good return on investment. The best thing about this place was that it was safe. Even their son, who was in middle school, had heard about the martial arts master on this road.

…

Zhang Zian had a bad headache. The hungry Fina was grumpy. It kept complaining in his ear, which drove him crazy.

”I can understand when you can't prepare dinner at a certain time. Fine. I've never placed high expectations on a human. But what does it mean when you sometimes offer raw food or burnt food?”

Jumping up on the chair, Fina continued to complain about Zhang Zian.

Zhang Zian knew that it was right because everything it said was right. Through experience, he knew that to make a good baked fish or meat required constant attention. Sometimes, when a customer came over, or if he had other things going on, he would forget about the food in the oven. Besides the few times he made a perfect meal, the food was either not cooked fully or burned all other times. Sometimes, when a customer was in the store, he was too busy with the customer, which would delay meal time. A hour delay for lunch or dinner was quite normal.

Old Time Tea was great about the meals. It was never picky. However, Fina was on the other extreme.

”My Majesty, take it easy. I think the most important thing right now is to have him get a new oven.” Old Time Tea was trying to help him out.

”The oven is not the problem. The problem is that he is not showing any respect to me which is unbearable!” Fina got even more angry. ”If he was reverent enough, he would find a way to cook the fish at a set time!”

Zhang Zian murmured, ”Yeah, that is easier said than done…”

”What are you murmuring about? Do you think I can't hear you?!”

”I mean, if we continue this complaining game, the store will be closed pretty soon,” Zhang Zian corrected himself.

At this time, Galaxy came back to the store from the door, pointed at the street cart using its front paw, and said, ”Meow, Zian, that cart can cook food.”

”What?” Zhang Zian was confused.

”Across the street,” Galaxy said as it ran back to the door.

Zian signaled to have Fina calm down but it didn't listen. He walked to the door and looked. ”Oh, that's Aunt Li and her husband…”

Aunt Li and her husband sold breakfast as well as BBQ skewers. Zhang Zian had tried their breakfast, but not the skewers.

He turned around and said to Fina, ”There is a street vendor that sells BBQ skewers. There are even BBQ hotdogs. Do you want to check it out? If you like it, we could get BBQ skewers for dinner tonight. If not… we'll have to figure something else out.”

Fina looked over with doubt. It saw a few customers stop and buy some food. It said, ”That is a shabby street cart. It doesn't deserve a chance to serve me!”

Zhang Zian nodded, ”Okay. Then you can stay here. Grandpa Tea, do you want to try it out?”
