Chapter 854 - BBQ Fish (1/2)
As the two bickered, Ling Hong finally couldn’t hold himself back anymore.
“Both of you are the similar level of shamelessness,” Ling Hong concluded, going straight to the point.
The two stopped talking and stared at Ling Hong with their eyes opened wide.
Tonight, it rained in Chengdu. It wasn’t heavy rain, but if one stood under it for a prolonged time, one could still easily got sick. And thus, everyone waited under the tents erected by the Queuing Committee for the BBQ.
The spring nights of Chengdu were still cold, especially when it was raining and the wind was blowing. But the people in the queue did not feel anything as it was extremely lively there.
Yes. It was extremely lively. Stalls were everywhere, and the crowd was three times larger than when it wasn’t a rainy day.
This was because everyone knew that Yuan Zhou would be selling BBQ during rainy days. There would be no limit on the quantity he sold, the only limit being a time frame.
And when the crowd increased, the number of stalls increased. The entire Taoxi Road was filled with the voices of people hawking their wares.
“BBQ, Yibin-styled BBQ, Shancheng Beer!”
“Tsingtao Beer, free two bottles with every set purchased! Tsingtao Beer, free gifts when buying!”
“Protective screen! Protective screen for mobile phones!”
“Raincoat! Raincoat here! This is a one time offer of 10 RMB per raincoat! You can block the rain, the wind, and even dust with it! Raincoat!”
“Fuggles and Warlock Beer, buy three free one! Buy three free one!”
“Snowbeer! Snowbeer! Five left! Five left!”
The street was filled with the voices of people hawking, and among them, the majority were selling beers. All sorts of beers could be found here.
One could say that all existing popular beers were being sold here.
That’s right. A lot of people were selling beers here. After all, it felt weird eating BBQ without beers.
In the beginning, when Yuan Zhou sold BBQ, there were some that tried selling BBQ as well. Unfortunately, they failed to sell anything. On the other hand, the beer sellers managed to empty their stock.
With that, everyone understood that when eating Boss Yuan’s BBQ, nobody would remember the existence of those BBQ stalls. But by focusing on beers, they could earn a lot.
And this, a magical scene appeared, one that could only be seen on Taoxi Road. This was a scene where the BBQ stalls were all selling beers instead.
Would those willing to spend money eating Yuan Zhou’s BBQ mind if the beers were slightly more expensive?
Of course they would!
Therefore, the beers here were all sold at the market price. Everyone was trying their best, coming up with all sorts of plans and beers just so they could increase the popularity of their own stalls. It reached the point where at night, Taoxi Road was the place with the most complete collection of beers around this part of the city.
In fact, these sellers were quite talented as they were able to find even beers that the local supermarket did not have the stock for.
And thus, the crowd continued increasing. Some were here just for the beers due to the wide variety.
And with that, a snowball effect was achieved with the number of people selling beers increasing as a result.
Many many years later, many people couldn’t understand why the world-renowned beer street would be Taoxi Road as it had zero relationships with any beer manufacturers.
“By the way, since Boss Yuan has his own beer as well, will he be selling them with the BBQ?” asked a curious and expecting customer.
“Perhaps? The weather is quite cold. It will surely feel good to have some of Boss Yuan’s liquor to warm the body,” said a different customer as he tightened the scarf around his neck.
“Eating Boss Yuan’s BBQ and drinking Boss Yuan’s beer. How beautiful would life be,” some started fantasizing.
“Is that what you think as well, Chen Wei?” Ling Hong asked mockingly.
“Of course,” Chen Wei nodded.
