Off to Zibo for Barbecue? We Can't Grill It All, There's Just Too Much!

Zhang Chu owns a private barbecue courtyard in Zibo, and his favorite words in life are "lie flat."

He inherited the family business and started working the grill in his teens. He's been at it for over ten years, but never works more than four hours a day.

Even when Zibo's barbecue made the city famous across the country, Zhang Chu wasn't swept up in the craze. He carried on comfortably, sleeping for a few hours each day in his lounge chair.

Then one day, two customers showed up in his courtyard.

"Excuse me, is this a barbecue stall?"

"Yep!"

Zhang Chu was scrolling through his phone in his lounge chair. He didn't even look up, just answered casually.

The next day, hundreds of customers came pouring in.

Netizen A: "Guys, who gets it? Zibo barbecue is so popular you can't get in anywhere, but this place is still empty!"

Netizen B: "Send me the location right now! I want to keep the owner too busy to look at his phone!"

Netizen C: "The owner thought two customers had shown up, but it turned out they were scouts!"

Zhang Chu was on the verge of tears. There was no way he could grill enough. He just couldn't keep up!
