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

"Dele, come right over!"

Before Zhang Hechun brought the rice over, he heard the guest next to him say:

"Boss, we've finished eating and we're going to settle the bill. Can you tell me how much it is?"

"Boss, there aren't enough seats here. It's too crowded. I couldn't even find a seat to share a table with others."

Zhang Hechun, Zhang Man and Zhang Lin were all so busy at this time, and Zhang Liang was so busy that he didn't even have time to rest.

Ever since he started frying the dishes, his hands have never left the iron pan, and he has been stir-frying one dish after another.

Although each of his pots contains several bowls and the portions look like those of a big pot dish, the taste of the dish does not resemble that of a big pot dish at all.

Even when it is fried and served like this, the seasoning of each dish is just right. No matter the cooking temperature or the tenderness of the meat, it makes people praise it after eating it.

If we were to say who is not busy at this stall right now, it would be Uncle Wang and Fifth Sister.

The old man sat here for the whole morning. He and the fifth sister went to buy a candied haws, and the two of them sat there playing.

If others didn't know, they would really think that Uncle Wang was a member of their family.

At this time, Zhang Hechun, Zhang Man and Zhang Lin were still filling up the bowls with rice, settling bills and clearing the table.

"Boss, can you please help me wipe the table here? Our food will be here soon."

Zhang Hechun heard what was said and ran over quickly:

"Here, here I come to clean the table for you."

I just finished wiping the table when I heard the guest next to me say:

"Boss, please help me pay the bill after we finish eating."

Seeing that Zhang Hechun was too busy, Zhang Lin also ran over:

"Okay, the total for your table is $2."

While they were busy, I could even hear some guests saying:

"You order the food first. There's an empty seat over there. I'll go sit there first. If you're late later, we'll have to eat standing up!"

This lively scene continued for a long time.

At this time, Chen Xueru also came over with two shop assistants.

Today she couldn't stop thinking about the dishes cooked by Zhang Liang. She went back and told her friends, and they couldn't wait to come over to eat.

Chen Xueru thought it was lunch time, so she brought them over to eat something.

As a result, when it was time for dinner, Zhang Liang and his friends started to eat at the stall. Customers crowded around the stall.

Looking at this lively scene, Chen Xueru also walked up to Zhang Liang and said with emotion:

"Your business is so good! It's only lunchtime and there are already so many people lining up."

"The store recommended by Uncle Wang is really reliable. Usually, the stalls on this street have never seen such a scene."

"When it comes to people lining up to buy stir-fried dishes, I've only seen this kind of queue at Cuixuan Building."

Seeing Chen Xueru coming, Zhang Liang also greeted her with a smile:

"Boss Chen, are you bringing your shop assistants to eat?"

Chen Xueru smiled and nodded, then said:

"Yeah, I said that if you come earlier, you can have a seat to eat, but now it seems that there is not enough space."

Zhang Liang heard what Chen Xueru said, looked back at the table behind him, and said to Chen Xueru:

"It's really difficult. You came at an inopportune time. It's busy right now. There's an empty seat at Uncle Wang's place. How about you sit there and eat?"

Chen Xueru clapped her hands and said:

"That's great. I can chat with the old man while eating. It makes the meal more enjoyable!"

Zhang Liang smiled and nodded, then said to Chen Xueru:

"Okay, then you can sit at Uncle Wang's table. Your dish will be cooked for you later."

At this time, Chen Xueru also walked over with two assistants:

"Uncle Wang, you are still sitting here."

Uncle Wang also smiled when he saw her. He played with Fifth Sister while saying:

"This is because I didn't eat enough this morning, so I need to have another meal now."

Chen Xueru glanced at him and said:

"The place you recommended is really great. I can't forget the taste after I went back. I brought my friends here to try it."

Uncle Wang just smiled.

After Chen Xueru settled the two servants, she walked up to Zhang Liang and looked at him:

"Boss, you look very young. How old are you?"

While Zhang Liang was arguing about stir-frying diced chicken, he said to her:

"I just turned seventeen this year."

Chen Xueru nodded thoughtfully, and then continued to ask:

"What's your name then?"

"Zhang Liang."

Zhang Liang was still busy cooking at this time, and from time to time he would turn around and talk to Zhang Lin:

"Old Four, the guests at the next table want some tea, please serve them some."

But Chen Xueru had no intention of leaving. She stood beside Zhang Liang and continued:

"Your business is so good. I haven't stopped since I saw you."

Zhang Liang had just cooked a large pot of spicy chicken and served it on a plate. He casually replied to Chen Xueru:

"I just set up a small stall on the roadside to make a little money. How can it compare to your silk shop? The profit from your shop is much more than mine."

Hearing Zhang Liang's words, Chen Xueru's eyes lit up instantly, and she quickly said in surprise:

"You want to open a store? Great!"

"Tell me where you want to open it, and we'll find a place. I'll invest, and we'll split the profits equally."

"We can definitely make more money running a store than you can running a stall, right?"

When Zhang Liang heard Chen Xueru's words, he just looked at her and didn't respond.

Chen Xueru thought he thought this was a good idea and continued:

"I am not kidding."

"Let's open a restaurant. You can decide what style it is and who will decorate it. You can also decide what dishes to sell and how to run the restaurant."

"I will be responsible for funding this restaurant for you, and you will be responsible for everything else. This restaurant will be built exactly in the style you like!"

"What do you think of my suggestion?"

Zhang Liang just rolled his eyes silently in his heart at Chen Xueru's suggestion.

If I really do what she says, and waste several months of my time, will I have any chance to make money?

By the time the restaurant was built and the plan for public-private partnership was approved, it would be a problem whether the restaurant could be run smoothly, let alone making money.

What Chen Xueru said was really unreliable. He could have made a lot of money by setting up stalls in these few months. Why bother to open a restaurant?

Originally, I was planning to set up a stall here to sell stir-fried dishes, and I just wanted to make a lot of money in these few months.
