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

Just as the shopkeeper went out, Zhang Liang and his two siblings were already pushing the cart towards the market.

soon.

The three of them came to the largest vegetable market nearby!

Zhang Liang decided to find a vegetable vendor and a butcher and make a reservation with them.

I paid the deposit on the same day and had them deliver the vegetables to the stall the next day.

Although Zhang Liang was just setting up a stall, he could fully learn from the rules of ordering food in a restaurant. It’s the same principle!

After strolling around the vegetable market for a while, the three of them found several suitable stores and negotiated cooperation with them.

"Okay, I'll deliver the dishes to the location you mentioned early tomorrow morning."

"Don't worry, the meat we sell is definitely the best quality in this market. Just cooperate with us!"

Zhang Liang also smiled and made the deal with him. After paying the deposit, the three siblings left the shop.

Zhang Hechun looked at Zhang Liang's series of operations and said in surprise:

"Third brother, you are really smart. It is really convenient to order vegetables from the vegetable market in advance. It is more convenient to collect vegetables from the stalls than to come here early in the morning to buy them."

Zhang Lin also said proudly:

"That's right, Third Brother has a lot of ideas, and our family can live a good life because of him!"

Zhang Liang also smiled and said, "We are both engaged in cooking business. If they can do this in the restaurant, we can do the same with a stall."

"Let's go, let's go buy some dinner for today."

A few people smiled and continued walking around the market.

After a while, the three of them had bought all the ingredients they needed for today.

"Third brother, we bought so much meat to make braised meat, right?"

Zhang Liang looked at Zhang Lin and said with a smile:

"Not entirely. The pork belly is for tonight's dinner, and the other chicken feet, duck feet, chicken legs, etc. are used to make braised meat."

"There's a candied haws stall over there. Didn't you say you wanted to eat some yesterday? I'll buy some for you today."

Hearing what Zhang Liang said, Zhang Lin's face immediately lit up with a happy smile. She said, "That's great! I knew that Third Brother loves me the most!"

Seeing Zhang Lin's eyes shining, Zhang Hechun knocked her head unhappily: "Otherwise I would say you are a little greedy cat!"

"Lie, my third brother wanted to buy it for others!" Zhang Lin just wanted to eat the candied haws now and stuck out his tongue at Zhang Hechun.

As soon as Zhang Lin finished speaking, she trotted over to the stall selling candied haws. Zhang Hechun and Zhang Liang could only follow her with a smile.

The three of them bought a lot of food today and returned home with a full load.

However, when they reached the gate of the compound, they hid all the food in the cart, including the string of candied haws they bought for Zhang Lin.

After all, everyone in this compound knows each other all the time. If they found out that the three siblings bought so many things, they would definitely find ways to take some away.

Especially the third uncle Yan Bugui who lives in the front yard!

The three of them walked into the courtyard, talking and laughing.

Before I walked into the house, I saw a little girl about five or six years old standing at the door. She had pigtails and was playing with stones in the yard.

When they saw the little girl, Zhang Lin and Zhang Hechun looked at each other and said with some concern:

“Isn’t this the fifth sister?”

"Could it be that our mother is back too?!"

Hearing Zhang Lin's words, Zhang Hechun also said, "Isn't this certain? When has our fifth sister ever been separated from our mother? As long as we see her, we will definitely see our mother!"

"The things in this cart must be hidden well and kept secret!"

Zhang Liang listened to the conversation between the two and recalled it carefully, then he remembered that the little girl in front of him was the fifth child in the family.

But in Zhang Liang’s memory, they only stayed at their grandmother’s house for a short time, usually more than half a month before coming back. How come they came back so soon now?

Just as Zhang Liang was thinking, a voice came from the room:

"There's so much dust on the stones in this yard, don't put it in your mouth! Come in and wash your hands in the house!"

As the second sister spoke, she walked out from the inner room.

Zhang Hechun and Zhang Lin watched Zhang Man come out. Zhang Lin asked in surprise, "Second sister, why are you back so early? Didn't you say you would be back by the end of the month?"

Zhang Hechun beside him also nodded and said:

"Yeah, has our mother gone home too?"

Zhang Man first looked at Zhang Liang next to her, with a look of surprise on her face:

"Third brother, have you recovered from your illness?"

"I was wondering why I didn't see you lying in bed when I came back. It turns out you've woken up."

"You don't know how worried our mother is about your illness. Even grandparents are worried about you when they find out."

Zhang Liang recalled his second sister at home.

This second sister was also very kind to the original owner. Whenever something good happened, she would always think of her younger brothers and sisters first.

The reason why my second sister still stays at home is because their family is too poor. All the potential marriage proposals she comes to look down on her because of her family's conditions.

So Zhang Liang couldn't help but feel warm in his heart when he saw Zhang Man in front of him caring about him:

"Don't worry, second sister. I've almost recovered."

Seeing Zhang Liang's energetic appearance, Zhang Man finally felt relieved.

Then she noticed the cart pushed by three people and asked with a frown:

"I was wondering why there was no one there when I got home today? Where did you go with the cart?"

Zhang Hechun and Zhang Lin both had hesitant expressions on their faces. Zhang Hechun sighed, but finally lowered his voice and said to Zhang Man:

"We're pushing this to set up a stall today."

Hearing Zhang Hechun's words, Zhang Man repeated with some surprise:

"What? You three are going to set up a stall today?"

As soon as Zhang Man started to speak, Zhang Hechun and Zhang Lin immediately became anxious, and both made gestures to Zhang Man.

"Shh!"

"Second sister, don't speak so loudly!"

Zhang Man looked at the two people's worried expressions and naturally understood what they were thinking. She smiled and said:

"Don't worry, our mother is still at grandma's house. Only my fifth sister and I are back."

After hearing what Zhang Man said, the brothers and sisters finally felt relieved, and the stone in their hearts finally fell.

Subsequently.

Zhang Hechun asked again with some doubt:

"Why did our mother suddenly let you and Fifth Sister come back alone? Does she have anything else to do at Grandma's house?"
