Siheyuan: I, an ordinary resident, the king of chefs

When Zhang Liang heard what the deaf old lady said, he showed a satisfied expression on his face, and then made a gesture of invitation to the deaf old lady:

"You are still kind, old man. Please take a look."

The deaf old lady suddenly lifted the white cloth in front of her, but the white glutinous rice ball underneath the cloth made her dumbfounded.

"How come it's really a glutinous rice ball..."

Zhang Liang smiled, and then said to the deaf old lady: "I didn't lie to you, old lady. What we eat today is really glutinous rice balls."

The deaf old lady still didn't want to believe what she saw, and she kept muttering, "It's impossible. I really smell the aroma of meat coming from your kitchen."

"Why are they just glutinous rice balls now?"

When she said this, the deaf old lady's eyes fell on Zhang Liang's face. Seeing his smiling face, the deaf old lady said unhappily:

"You little bastard, have you hidden all the delicious food in your home just to avoid me, your ancestor?"

Zhang Liang heard the deaf old woman's words, spread his hands and said helplessly:

"How dare I lie to you? You are our most respected ancestor. If there is anything delicious at home, we will definitely treat you first."

"You can look around the house. If you can find anything delicious, it's because our food is not authentic."

Seeing Zhang Liang's indifferent expression, the deaf old lady glanced around every corner and indeed did not see any food.

She didn't plan to continue searching.

It seems like her ancestor was very petty.

But the meaty aroma really came from the backyard. The deaf old lady still didn't want to give up: "But this smell is really coming from your house. It's impossible for so much meaty aroma to come out of nowhere, right?"

Zhang Liang smiled faintly when he heard the deaf old lady's words, and then said:

"I heard that when people get older, their noses can smell smells that they don't normally smell. I wonder if you smelled it wrongly, old man."

The deaf old lady snorted coldly and continued:

"How can it be!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the deaf old lady continued to smell it carefully, but the next moment her face froze.

The rich aroma of meat just now is gone.

The whole kitchen was filled with the smell of glutinous rice balls, not even a hint of meat!

Seeing the deaf old lady's expression, Zhang Liang continued, "Look, my kitchen doesn't have the aroma of meat you mentioned, doesn't it?"

Although the deaf old lady thought all this was very strange, she had been in the kitchen for so long that if there was really meat, she would smell it. So she had no choice but to give up, waved her hand and prepared to turn around and leave.

Before she could take a step, Zhang Liang stretched out his hand in front of her and said to her with a smile: "Grandma, you must have forgotten something. Why are you leaving now?"

"You are our most respected elder after all. You can't go back on your word, right?"

How could the deaf old lady not know what Zhang Liang meant?

Things had come to this point, and the deaf old lady could only reluctantly take out fifty cents from her pocket.

He threw fifty cents into Zhang Liang's hand and said to him:

"After all, I am the ancestor of this compound, and I will definitely keep my word."

"Since your family is only having some glutinous rice balls tonight, this fifty cents can be regarded as my ancestor treating you to a good meal."

"Okay, you brothers and sisters, just eat slowly. I, the ancestor, will not have dinner with you."

Yes, Zhang Liang’s family is just eating some glutinous rice balls today, which is better for her to eat by herself. The deaf old lady doesn’t want to waste time here.

Hearing the deaf old lady's words, Zhang Liang smiled and said:

"Come on, you are the one who knows how to cherish us young people."

"Then walk slowly."

When he said this, Zhang Liang's eyes fell on Zhang Lin again, and he said to her: "Why don't you send our ancestors off?"

Zhang Lin reacted and said "oh" quickly, then walked to the side of the deaf old lady:

"Grandfather, I'll take you there."

The deaf old lady just waved at her and said impatiently:

"I can still find the way, so I don't need you to send me there."

After a while, Zhang Liang and Zhang Lin heaved a sigh of relief when they heard the sound of the compound gate closing.

Zhang Lin couldn't help but say:

"This old woman likes to eat and drink for free everywhere, and now she has come to our house!"

At this point, Zhang Lin looked at Zhang Liang with admiration:

"Third brother, you are so awesome! This is the first time I've seen this old lady being humiliated. Normally, she would get whatever she wants from anyone she wants to eat!"

"And she actually gave us fifty cents. That's really weird!"

Zhang Liang also smiled, and then said to Zhang Lin: "Since she wants to come to our house to eat something good, she has to pay a price, right?"

"Otherwise, she really thinks we are soft persimmons that can be bullied at will. Normally, we can't expect any good things to happen. Now that we are eating meat, she smells the smell and comes here."

"There is no such good thing in the world!"

Zhang Lin also nodded in agreement, but she still had some doubts on her face, and asked Zhang Liang:

"But she's right. The aroma of meat in our house is very strong."

"Third brother, where did you put all these meat and vegetables? How come I can't even smell them?"

Zhang Liang pointed at the cart used for today's stall and said to Zhang Lin:

“I put all the food there.”

Just when he realized that the person knocking on the door was not his eldest brother, he had already put all the dishes on the table into his system space.

Otherwise, how could the smell disappear so quickly?

While Zhang Lin was walking past, Zhang Liang put all the dishes that he had just stored in the system into the cart.

At this time, Zhang Lin also walked over. She opened the cabinet of the cart, and the fragrant aroma of food wafted into her nose.

"Oh my god, Third Brother, you are so smart!"

"If you put the vegetables here, you won't be able to smell the smell! No wonder the old lady sniffed here for a long time but couldn't smell any meat."

As Zhang Lin spoke, he put all the food in the cart on the dining table.

"Third brother, how do you know the person who knocked on the door just now was a deaf old lady?"

Zhang Liang smiled and said to him:

"If it was really our eldest brother who came back, you would definitely jump over to tell me with joy."

"I saw you go out to open the door, but there was no movement for a long time. I knew the person knocking on the door was one of our ancestors. Who else could it be but her?"

Zhang Lin nodded thoughtfully, and then continued:

"Third brother is really quick to react. If these dishes had not been hidden today, who knows how much the ancestors would have taken away!"
