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

After Chen Xueru left, Zhang Liang's stall gradually welcomed customers who came to order food.

"Boss, what's your dish today?"

"Today we have spicy chicken, braised pork trotters, boiled pork slices, and fish in sour soup. Take a look and see what you would like to eat."

When the guest heard Zhang Liang's words, his eyes lit up and he said with a smile:

"Hey, if I like any of the dishes today, please give me one portion. My bowl is right here, and the money is underneath the bowl. Come and get it later."

"Please go slowly."

Zhang Lin and Zhang Hechun had almost finished packing up their stalls. Zhang Lin walked up to Zhang Liang and said:

"Third brother, this is the first time that Second Sister is setting up a stall today. I don't know if she is used to it. I'll go to her stall and watch for a while."

"Go."

Zhang Liang started cooking the dishes ordered by the guests today at the stall.

After a while, the guests who came to order food had piled up the entire table with empty bowls.

Zhang Liang saw that Zhang Lin had not come back for a long time, so he looked at Zhang Hechun and asked:

"Brother, Zhang Lin has been gone for more than half an hour. Why hasn't he come back yet? Why don't you go and check on him?"

"Our stall will be busy soon. If Zhang Lin is not here, I'm afraid we won't be able to handle it."

Zhang Hechun nodded and said:

"It's time to get busy. I'll go check on my second sister first."

And at this time on another street.

Zhang Man’s braised meat stall was already crowded with people queuing up inside and outside.

All I could hear were the guests talking to each other:

"Boss, give me one portion of this braised pork. Any dish will do."

"I'm the boss too. I want a portion of braised meat and a portion of cold vegetable."

"Boss, your red oil is so delicious. I just bought one and now I want another one. Can you sell me two of them?"

"Little girl, give me two bags of this braised meat!"

Zhang Man and Zhang Lin were so busy at the braised meat stall that they were completely distracted.

There weren't many customers when the stall was first set up, but within the first half hour, customers gradually gathered around.

This was partly due to the promotion that Uncle Li had just given. When the guests in the teahouse heard that the braised meat here was delicious, they all came over.

Another group of people were buying New Year's goods on the street. When they saw a lot of people gathered around the braised meat stall, they came over to buy some to take home just for the novelty.

Zhang Man and Zhang Lin each performed their duties, one filled the bags and the other mixed the red oil.

Although Zhang Man was busy and couldn't stop, she was very happy in her heart. She smiled and said:

"Zhang Lin, I'm glad you came to help me today. If I were alone, I really wouldn't be able to handle it."

Zhang Lin was also packing the braised meat while saying:

"Third brother is cooking the dishes he ordered and is not very busy. I came to see how your stall is going."

"I didn't expect to see your stall surrounded by people when I came here. Business is really good today!"

As soon as Zhang Hechun came over, he saw Zhang Lin and Zhang Man busying around, so he quickly joined their camp.

"Second sister, your braised meat stall is doing very well. I didn't expect that the teahouse owner's promotion was so effective. It's surrounded by customers so quickly."

Zhang Man also looked at Zhang Hechun with a smile:

"Yes, many customers said they came from the teahouse. The owner of the teahouse also bought some braised meat from me just now and said he would share some with the people in his teahouse to try."

"No, there are waves of guests coming here."

"Our third brother's cooking skills are really good. Anyone who eats it will have to give a thumbs up!"

The three of us packed our bags one by one and quickly dealt with the diners. We finally got a chance to take a break.

Then he saw an old man with a jade ring on his hand and a wealthy look on his face walking over. He smiled at Zhang Man and asked:

"Boss, how much braised meat do you have left?"

Zhang Man pointed to the cowhide bag in front of him:

"Old man, there are still more than a dozen bags of braised meat and some cold dishes left. How much do you want?"

The old man looked at her stall and then said cheerfully:

"How about this, I want all the braised meat and cold dishes on your stall."

Hearing the old man's words, Zhang Man's eyes widened in fear. She asked in surprise:

"Old man, there are a lot of braised meats and cold dishes here. Are you sure you want them all?"

I only saw the old man nodded and said affirmatively:

"I want all of them. Just tell me how much."

Zhang Man hurriedly packed the braised meat in front of her and put all the cold dishes into bags. There were more than twenty bags in total, and she gave them all to the old man.

"Take these cold dishes and braised meat. The total is 32 yuan."

The old man took the bag with a smile, took out his purse, checked it, and handed 32 yuan to Zhang Man:

"Count the money and see if there is any difference."

Zhang Man took the money with surprise, and she and Zhang Lin counted it twice.

32 is a huge sum of money. If there are one or two counterfeit bills mixed in it, they will definitely not be able to sleep today!

The two carefully checked the money in their hands, and after confirming that there was no problem, they nodded to the old man and said:

"No problem! Take care! I'll come back next time if it's delicious!"

"We have people coming to this stall every day, just come anytime you want to eat!"

The old man nodded to her, smiled and walked in another direction.

Watching the old man walk away, Zhang Man heaved a sigh of relief:

"We've only been setting up the stall for over an hour, and the braised meat and salad are already sold out!"

"The third brother's cooking skills are so good, no wonder you made so much money when you set up a stall to sell stir-fried dishes!"

When she said this, Zhang Man suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly took out all the money she had received today and counted them one by one.

The more she counted, the deeper the smile on her face became. After she finished counting, she said in surprise:

"Oh my god, I made a total of 112 yuan from selling braised meat and cold dishes today!!"

"Even if we deduct the money for buying meat and other costs, we still made more than 70 yuan!!"

"Even if my mom and I do some odd jobs for others, we can only make about 10 yuan a month at most. Today, we made more than 70 yuan in just one hour!"

"This is the money my mom and I earned from working as temporary workers for seven months! With the third child's skills, we can make a lot of money from setting up a stall!"

Zhang Lin saw Zhang Man's reaction, smiled and nodded, saying:

"Now do you believe that Third Brother can make so much money by selling stir-fried dishes?"

"Third brother has already said that as long as he is here, our family's life will only get better day by day, and we will be able to eat meat every meal!"

"Third brother would never lie!"

Zhang Hechun saw Zhang Lin looking smug, smiled and patted her forehead, and said jokingly:
