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

Chen Xueru smiled and nodded to her:

"Thank you very much."

After taking the white rice, Chen Xueru started to eat it with relish again.

"I've eaten more fish in the past year than I have today! That shows how delicious the fish slices made by this boss are!"

Uncle Wang was also eating slices of fish:

"Hmm! It smells good!"

Seeing Uncle Wang eating so much that he forgot everything else, Chen Xueru curled her lips and said:

"Old man, you don't even want to say anything when you see something delicious!"

While eating the fish, Uncle Wang smiled and said to her:

"If you want to eat something delicious, you have to put your whole heart and soul into it. Otherwise, how can you taste its deliciousness?"

Chen Xueru listened to his convincing words and could only nod:

"Yes, yes, you are right!"

Zhang Liang quickly brought over the boiled pork slices that Chen Xueru had ordered.

"You two, please use it slowly."

Chen Xueru looked at the sizzling boiled pork slices in front of her. She felt a little full, but faced with such delicious food, she couldn't help but pick up the chopsticks.

She picked up a piece of boiled pork and started eating. The next second, her eyes widened and she said in surprise:

"Delicious! The spiciness is just right!"

"You can taste the tenderness of the meat slices with one bite, and the aroma of the chili wrapped around the meat slices, combined with the peppercorns and hot oil, it's so delicious!"

"If you ask me, all Sichuan cuisine should taste like this. The Sichuan cuisine I had in restaurants before was spicy, but not fragrant!"

"The boiled pork slices made by this boss are the most authentic!"

Uncle Wang looked at Chen Xueru, who had almost learned how to eat two dishes, and smiled at her:

"Now that you've eaten two Sichuan dishes, you have your own opinions about them?"

Chen Xueru nodded confidently and said proudly:

"That's right, who told me to meet you today and eat such a state banquet!"

“It’s hard for me not to understand the taste of Sichuan cuisine!”

When Uncle Wang saw her like this, he also had a loving smile on his face:

"You're right. There are many restaurants in Beijing that serve Sichuan cuisine, but it's difficult to combine the three flavors of numbing, spicy, and fragrant into one dish."

"Generally speaking, restaurants use a lot of peppercorns and chilies, which is what they call Sichuan cuisine, but they don't know how to balance the ratio of these two seasonings."

"The boss mixed the two seasonings in just the right proportions, the numbing and spicy flavors are just right!"

“This taste is the authentic Sichuan flavor!”

The two of them praised the boiled pork slices in front of them and started eating them with white rice.

After a while, the two had finished the fish in sour soup and the boiled pork slices.

Chen Xueru leaned on the stool, touched her round belly, and said with a sigh:

"I was saying that after meeting you, I would gain two more pounds a day!"

"Normally, I only eat a plate of boiled pork slices, but today I not only ate three dishes, but also two bowls of white rice!"

"No, no, I will lose weight when I return to the silk and satin shop. I can't gain weight during the New Year!"

When Uncle Wang heard her say this, he was amused:

"Everyone is eager to eat more delicious food during the New Year. Why do you care whether you gain weight or not? Can't we just talk about it after the New Year?"

Chen Xueru looked at him, curled her lips and said:

"That won't do! If you gain weight during the Chinese New Year, it will be the hardest thing to lose weight!"

"Even during the Chinese New Year, I control my food intake, otherwise I won't be able to wear all those beautiful clothes in my store!"

Uncle Wang heard her answer, waved his hand and said:

"I just don't understand you girls. Enjoying your meal is the most important thing. Why do you care so much?"

"Look at me, I'm always looking for places to eat and drink every day. I don't care if I gain weight or not!"

Chen Xueru rolled her eyes at him:

"I can't explain this to you. You regard eating as your greatest hobby, but I have to love beauty!"

Uncle Wang did not continue to argue with her about this issue, and said with a smile:

"Yes, yes, otherwise why would so many people praise you for being pretty."

Because she was too full, Chen Xueru decided to sit at this stall for a while.

After thinking for a while, Chen Xueru said to Uncle Wang:

"The food cooked by this boss is delicious and cheap. I will tell my sisters and the customers of the silk shop about it and ask them to come and eat!"

"When they see that my dishes are delicious, maybe they will come back to thank me and buy two more pieces of cloth from my silk shop!"

When Uncle Wang heard what Chen Xueru said, he smiled and said:

"As expected of you, the boss of a silk shop. You're eating here, yet you still think of soliciting business like this. If you don't make money, who will?"

After resting for a while, Chen Xueru patted her clothes and stood up:

"Okay, old man, you just sit here. I have to go back to my silk shop to do business."

Uncle Wang smiled and waved at her.

Before leaving, Chen Xueru came to Zhang Liang again and asked:

"Boss, your stall selling braised meat and cold dishes is on the next street, right?"

Zhang Liang nodded when he heard Chen Xueru's words, pointed in a direction and said to her:

"If you walk a few hundred meters from here, you will see a girl in her early 20s setting up a stall. The braised meat and cold dishes are all packed in cowhide bags. You will definitely see them if you go over there."

Hearing Zhang Liang's answer, Chen Xueru smiled and nodded:

"Okay, then I'll go take a look!"

"I'll help you spread the word when I get back, so that everyone around me will know that there are chefs like you setting up stalls on these two streets!"

Zhang Liang smiled and said to her:

"Thank you very much."

Before leaving, Chen Xueru asked again:

"By the way, you guys will still come to this place to set up a stall tomorrow, right? I'm full today, otherwise I'd have to eat two more dishes!"

"If you guys come to set up a stall again tomorrow, I'll come over for lunch!"

Zhang Liang nodded to her and said:

"It's at this place. We'll be here again tomorrow, but if you want to have lunch, you'd better come earlier, preferably around half past ten."

"After this time, more and more customers will come to our stall to eat, and I'm afraid there won't be any empty seats by then."

After hearing Zhang Liang's words, Chen Xueru said thoughtfully:

"Indeed, your stall is delicious and cheap, so there must be a lot of diners vying to come and eat."

"Okay, then I'll come early tomorrow and make sure to eat the food you cook!"

While Zhang Liang was cooking, he smiled and said to her:

"Got it."

After saying that, Chen Xueru turned around and left, walking towards the next street.
