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

Zhang Hechun still had a puzzled look on his face, and asked uncertainly: "What are you selling at the stall? How can you make so much money?"

Zhang Lin had a smug smile on his face and said to Zhang Hechun, "Today, my third brother and I are going to set up a stall outside to sell stir-fried dishes. My third brother will be in charge of cooking, and I will be in charge of serving food to the guests and clearing the tables and chairs!"

Zhang Hechun continued, "My mother used to sell buns at a stall outside, but she could only earn one or two yuan a day at most. You guys seem to make dozens of yuan."

“Do you make so much money selling stir-fried dishes?”

"You guys made over 30 yuan a day, but I, your big brother, only make over 20 yuan a month!"

Zhang Liang just smiled, then said to Zhang Hechun: "Brother, let's do this while we eat. If you don't eat now, the dishes will get cold."

After hearing what Zhang Liang said, Zhang Hechun had no choice but to pick up the bowl in front of him and start eating.

Looking at the meat dishes in front of him, he was very greedy. After all, his family didn't have much meat to eat all year round.

While picking up some food, Zhang Hechun said to the brother and sister, "Look at you two. You were ripped off when buying meat."

"Who buys only lean meat? People who buy meat buy the fat. If you don't buy the fat, you're at a disadvantage."

Zhang Lin pouted and said to Zhang Hechun, "What a big brother! When people buy meat, they have to buy these lean meats to make it taste good."

"Our third brother said that the fat is used to make oil. If you really want to stir-fry it, you have to use the lean meat."

When Zhang Hechun heard Zhang Lin's words, he nodded thoughtfully, then picked up a piece of twice-cooked pork and started eating.

Zhang Hechun's eyes widened when he tasted the twice-cooked pork, and he quickly said:

"Um!!"

“This twice-cooked pork is so delicious!!”

"I've never eaten such delicious meat dishes before. Was this cooked by the Third Brother?"

Zhang Liang smiled and nodded, then said to Zhang Hechun, "Now you know why we have so many customers and earn so much money when we set up a stall to sell stir-fried dishes, right?"

Zhang Hechun finally understood and came over and nodded:

"Yes, if you have such good cooking skills, customers will definitely be vying to come and eat your cooking."

"Why didn't I know you could cook such delicious dishes before? I think your restaurant was really blind to fire you."

Zhang Liang just smiled and shook his head:

"I only developed these cooking skills when I woke up last night. I really couldn't cook these dishes when I was working in the restaurant before."

Zhang Hechun ate a twice-cooked pork and nodded.

"That means the people in the restaurant are unlucky. Your cooking skills are better than their chefs. They must be regretting the loss of such a talent like you."

Zhang Lin also nodded in agreement: "That's right, I also think that the people in the restaurant are blind."

While eating the food in front of him, Zhang Hechun asked them, "Are you going to set up the stall again tomorrow?"

Zhang Liang nodded in affirmation, "Yes, Zhang Lin and I will also set up a stall outside tomorrow, and I will also cook some side dishes tonight."

"Tomorrow morning, Zhang Lin and I will steam the rice at home and go to the market to buy some vegetables. We will then set up the stall."

Zhang Hechun took a mouthful of white rice and continued, "Where are you two setting up your stall?"

"It's on the street next to the restaurant."

When Zhang Hechun heard this, he paused while eating, looked at Zhang Liang and asked:

"There's a restaurant next to that street. Theirs is one of the best places in the capital. Are you going to steal their business there?"

Zhang Liang nodded confidently:

"Yes, I'm going to set up a stall there to steal their business!"

Zhang Hechun saw Zhang Liang's expression and said while eating, "Their restaurant is indeed too unauthentic. It's OK. With your cooking skills, do you still worry about not having customers?!"

"Let their restaurant see how much of a loss it is to lose you!"

Zhang Liang also said:

"That's right, don't worry, big brother. I have a plan in mind for setting up a stall to sell stir-fried dishes."

"Our business will definitely get better and better in the future. Not to mention that we made more than 30 today, we will only make more and more in the future."

"We can definitely see it every night in our house. We don't have to look forward to eating meat during the Chinese New Year like before."

"Don't the people in our compound look down on us just because they think we are poor?"

"Now let's show them that our family can also make money, and no one is worse than anyone else!"

Zhang Hechun nodded thoughtfully.

I thought silently in my heart:

My third brother must have suffered a lot when he fell ill this time, and he probably heard a lot of scolding in the yard.

But it’s good that he’s working hard like this now.

After all, their father is not reliable at all, and his mother indulges him, which makes him have no desire to improve himself.

After suffering so many injustices in this yard for so many years, it's time to change.

Zhang Liang didn't know what his elder brother was thinking, so he smiled and said, "Brother, when we set up the stall and save more money, we will save it to buy you a house and marry you a wife."

"So you can live your own life instead of having it all integrated into the lives of our entire family."

Zhang Hechun heard Zhang Liang's words and knocked on his head with a smile: "Am I the elder brother or are you the elder brother? When did you need to worry about my marriage?"

Zhang Liang smiled and shook his head, then continued: "We should improve our family's life while we have money now."

"We should find time to renovate this old house of ours, and then buy two houses in this compound as wedding houses for you, big brother."

"You have to get married, so you and your wife can live in a separate room when you go home, and you will have a place to live when you have children."

Zhang Hechun heard Zhang Liang's serious tone and said, "Don't think about getting married for now."

"But we can still repair our house. We have lived in this house for too many years, and there are some problems with the walls and roof."

"Keep the rest of the money you earn and don't spend it recklessly. And don't even think about buying me a house or marrying me off."
