Greetings, Mister Principal: A string of life

Three days later, on the outskirts of Prest City, Old Street.

Many shops are already under renovation. These buildings have experienced decades of wind and rain, and time has already left mottled traces on the walls. However, most of the buildings have scaffolding erected around them, which can be seen , the exterior wall painting work has begun. For some new walls, it is basically painted again, while for some old, crumbling walls, it is almost rebuilt.

The shop owners are naturally very happy. Who doesn’t like the opportunity to repair the shop for free? The business on the old street is not very good anyway. Most of the shops are operating out of habit. Taking advantage of this gap, They also get a few rare days off.

In the evening, the old street people sitting on benches and enjoying the shade under the big trees noticed that one of the shops had just started to open for business.

This is a shop located opposite Antoine's alchemy workshop. It was originally a tailor shop. It was no longer operated a few years ago and has been in a state of neglect.

But now, Antoine's alchemy workshop has been rebuilt into a large and magnificent workshop. The shop located opposite his home has naturally become a hot prime location.

People gathered to see what was going on here.

Because most shops are open during the day, unless it is a big city like Toronto, the flow of people at night is not enough to support the consumption of opening a shop at night, and even restaurants that serve dinner will be closed during the day. When doing business, you don’t wait until evening to open.

A few children were carefree and courageous. They ran to the door of the store and only saw two iron shelves at the door.

The bottom of this iron shelf is a slender bracket, and the top is a long iron box. If you look over your head, you can see the opening at the top of the iron box, and there is a red-hot charcoal fire inside. The weather is not good now. Even though it was too cold, it didn't look like a stove for heating. I didn't know what it was used for.

Then, people saw two people coming out of the store. They remembered that they were young people from the old street. They had been doing some manual labor in Prest City before, and the money they earned was not much. Spend the day.

"Langton, what are you doing?"

Someone asked.

"This is a shop opened by Mr. Ian Gray. He saw that we had a hard time working in Prest City, so he gave it to the two of us to take care of."

The young man known as Langton has slightly curly hair. His skin is dark due to physical labor that has been exposed to the sun for many years. He is tall, thin and lean. He is wearing a short-sleeved shirt and an apron. Obviously, It looks like cooking is being done here.

"This is going to be, uh, a barbecue restaurant."

Next to Langton, his partner Holander said. Holander is shorter and slightly fatter, with strong muscles visible under his short sleeves.

Holland pointed to the sign on the top of the store, which read "Crescent BBQ" in regular Common Chinese font.

"BBQ?"

Some people showed doubtful expressions. They all know about barbecue. This cooking method originating from desert countries is very popular among young people, but they really can't imagine how to make these two iron racks in front of them.

Furthermore, according to people’s general understanding, cooking should be done in the kitchen. How to do it in the open air now?

Langton shrugged. He didn’t know how to do it at first, but Reiner carefully taught him various precautions. In addition, he and Holland were also very savvy, and they quickly learned how to grill. He took out the mutton that had been skewered with bamboo skewers from the freezer in the store and put it on the barbecue grill.

As you can see, the bamboo skewers can be placed horizontally on the iron frame, and the skewered meat is placed on the charcoal fire. This simple but exquisite design is amazing. The charcoal fire is very strong, and the mutton will soon curl up slightly. The white grease gradually deepens in color, and Langton uses a brush to apply oil from time to time. The barbecue makes a sizzling sound, which is particularly attractive.

Seeing that the heat was almost done, Langton turned the bamboo skewer and turned the meat over. He grilled more than a dozen skewers at a time. His movements were clean and neat, and he had obviously practiced many times.

At the end of the roasting, he picked up the brush from the jar on the table nearby. The jar contained a mixture of various spices including cumin. Langton brushed it on, and a scent irritated his nose. It burst out immediately.

"The mutton skewers are ready! Brush with oil and cumin and grill until fragrant. The kids next door are crying with envy!"

Holland spoke the slogan that Reiner told him, tickling the hearts of the onlookers.

The children who were watching couldn't help but swallowed and looked at their parents helplessly. The parents were helpless. After all, they were also greedy when they saw it. They gritted their teeth and stepped forward.

"Langton, how do you sell these mutton skewers?"

"Two copper coins have three strings, six copper coins have ten strings."

Holland pointed to the sign hanging at the door of the store, with a price list on it.

As you can see, most barbecue skewers cost between one and three copper coins. They are cheap and quite affordable.

"Then we want three skewers."

The parents said, then they took out the copper coins, handed them to Holander, and took three skewers of hot mutton skewers.

When my father took a bite, the lamb was burnt on the outside, alternately fat and lean, and tender and juicy on the inside. The exotic spices like cumin and pepper effectively removed the mutton smell. Because it was roasted over a high fire It is made so that the gravy can be locked in the meat skewers, making it extremely delicious.

“So delicious!”

The three people sighed in unison. Hearing their sighs, the people next to them could no longer restrain their appetites and spent money to buy mutton skewers.

In addition to mutton skewers, the barbecue restaurant also provides affordable iced Coke and ale. The skewers are not only mutton skewers, but also include grilled sausages, grilled chicken legs, grilled fish, grilled mushrooms and grilled eggplants. With vegetables like roasted potato chips, this barbecue restaurant that just opened in the evening became the center of the old street.

Tables and chairs were set up outside the shop. People who used to sit up and down at sunrise were enjoying this moment of leisure. They sat together eating barbecue, drinking ice-cold ale, and talking about their families and family affairs.

The night breeze was cool, the swaying lights illuminated the noisy stalls, and the strong scent of cumin spread throughout the street. For a moment, the people in the old street seemed to see the bustling old street many years ago. The days ~IndoMTL.com~ are lively and crowded, everything is busy and everything is fulfilling.

In the distance, Reiner and Claire, who were watching all this, did not participate in the noisy feast. Claire tilted her head. Although she acknowledged the charm of kebabs, she also couldn’t understand why this simple outdoor barbecue. It will attract people to sit together.

"I have heard a saying before. Now if I change it, it can probably be applied here."

Reiner saw Claire's confusion, he patted her head gently, and then said.

“For most people, the best barbecue is always the one downstairs from my house. This has nothing to do with taste, but a sense of familiarity and kindness.”

Claire nodded in understanding. She seemed to understand something, but she seemed not to understand anything at all.

However, Claire knew that when Reiner looked at the people enjoying the barbecue, there was some kind of familiar feeling in his eyes.

Claire doesn’t know that this feeling is called nostalgia.
