Siheyuan: Started in 1950, third-level cook

"Humph, what's your business?" Jia Dongxu grumbled a little unconvinced, and said unhappily: "My family has the conditions, and we only eat old hens!"

After saying that, he deliberately took a bite of the chicken and chewed it hard.

But Chen Jun just glanced at him and ignored him.

Jia Dongxu is in his twenties after all. How can he act like a half-grown child and do such childish things?

Could it be that Jia Zhang spoiled him too much?

Too lazy to bother with Jia Dongxu anymore, Chen Jun turned back to the house, opened the lid of the casserole and stirred it with a spoon.

The New Year is almost here, and the food in the Chen family has been getting better and better. Today's dinner not only has spicy stir-fried mutton offal, but also a pot of stewed mutton in a casserole.

In winter, eating mutton is the most nutritious food.

The aroma from the casserole drifted from the kitchen to the door, and it was too late for Jia Dongxu to leave.

hiss!

So fragrant!

"Chen Jun, what's in your pot?" Jia Dongxu swallowed and said, "Give me a bowl, let me... let my wife have a taste. My wife didn't have a good appetite today and vomited several times."

"If you want to eat casserole lamb, go home and find your parents. It's none of my business if your wife has a poor appetite. It's not my fault!" Chen Jun said without turning his head.

"Hey, how can you talk like that? You are insulting me!" Jia Zhang felt that she was insulted out of nowhere and said quickly, "Apologize to me now!"

Fortunately, it was Chen Jun who said this. If it had come from Sha Zhu's mouth, Jia Dongxu would have probably gone crazy.

"Apologise, you must apologize!"

As soon as Jia Dongxu finished speaking, Jia Zhang came over with a bowl in hand to support him.

My goodness, Jia Zhang’s bowl was filled to the brim with chicken, and there was not a single cabbage leaf.

"You are such a heartless little thing. You just asked me for some soup, but you are so stingy."

"Dongxu, let's go home. We can't finish all the chicken at home!"

Chen Jun glanced at them and closed the door directly.

When the two Jia brothers go to war, not a blade of grass will grow?

It's not that serious, but it's still disgusting enough.

The New Year is almost here, and Chen Jun is too lazy to deal with them.

Jia Zhang felt like he was hitting cotton with his words. He cursed a few times and then dragged Jia Dongxu home.

In the room, the lamb in the casserole was almost done. Chen Jun found a towel and put it on the casserole, then brought it to the dining table nearby.

"It's time to eat, it's time to eat!"

After shouting twice, Wang Xia and Lin Yao came out from the inner room.

"This mutton casserole should be eaten while it's hot. It tastes best."

Wang Xia bent down and smelled it. It was indeed very fragrant. She scooped a bowl with a spoon and placed it in front of Lin Yao: "Little greedy girl, try it first."

Lin Yao looked up and smiled: "Thank you, Mom!"

Then he picked up the bowl, blew on it, and took a sip carefully.

"Wow...so fragrant and fresh!"

The mutton soup was still a little hot, but once you put it in your mouth, the delicious flavor filled your whole mouth.

I scooped up a piece of mutton with a small spoon. The soft and tender mutton had a unique flavor.

“Huh…Huh…It’s so hot, so hot!”

After taking several deep breaths, the mutton in my mouth finally cooled down a little.

Just a gentle bite with your teeth and the mutton will burst out with even more delicious flavor.

The soup is delicious and the meat is even better!

Although this casserole lamb requires more effort than ordinary lamb, the taste is just as good.

"Mom, brother, you guys should try it too, this mutton soup tastes really good!"

Wang Xia smiled, served a bowl to Chen Jun, and then served herself.

The pieces of mutton in the casserole are quite large this time, and it is so satisfying to eat them.

Eating meat with big mouthfuls and drinking soup with big gulps, although eating like this is a bit luxurious, it is really enjoyable.

I recall that during the Chinese New Year last year, my family couldn’t even make dumplings with meat filling, but this year we can eat meat to our heart’s content.

"Xiaojun, Mom will be on holiday the day after tomorrow. I'll go and help you." Wang Xia said.

The steel rolling mill will have a six-day holiday during the Chinese New Year every year, three days before the New Year and three days after the New Year.

Time is set aside for preparing New Year's goods and visiting relatives.

Chen Jun waved his hand, first glanced at Lin Yao, then smiled and said, "Mom, you guys are on holiday, and so are Lin Yao and I. I plan to open the stall for another day tomorrow, and take a day off the day after tomorrow to rest."

"We have money this year, so we have to prepare well and have a good new year!"

Wang Xia was stunned when she heard this, and subconsciously said, "How much money will I lose if I take a day off?"

Her meaning was not to blame Chen Jun for being lazy, but she was tired of being poor before, so she felt sad if she earned less money.

"You can't make enough money. You have to balance work and rest. After the Chinese New Year, if the situation allows, I will continue to open the stall."

After a pause, Chen Jun added: "However, after the Lantern Festival, Lin Yao will not follow me to the stall. The third uncle has already arranged the relationship. You can go to school next semester."

"You are still so young, it would be a shame if you didn't go to school."

Lin Yao originally thought that she would go to school after the summer vacation, but she didn't expect that she would go after the winter vacation.

"Brother, I want to set up a stall with you." Lin Yao said with some resistance.

Lin Yao knew very well how hard it was to set up a stall and sell stir-fried dishes.

Chen Jun not only has to cut and prepare vegetables, but also simmer some meat in advance. He is also extremely busy after setting up the stall.

Lin Yao saw all of this.

With her help, Chen Jun could feel a little more relaxed. If she went to school, Chen Jun would probably be exhausted.

Chen Jun smiled and said, "No, you go to school and study hard. I'll find someone to help you. It'll only take 20 to 30 yuan a month. I'll open the stall for a few months after the New Year, and then I'll stop running the stir-fry stall. Then I'll go to the steel mill and be the deputy director of the canteen."

How much does it cost to hire someone?

There is no need to delay Lin Yao's studies because of this.

Before, the family was poor and couldn’t afford to send Lin Yao to school, but now it is different. Chen Jun can continue to support her until she graduates from university.

Education changes your destiny. This statement is very appropriate nowadays.

These days, a student graduating from high school can be considered a highly educated person.

College students are even more scarce and have very high value.

Job assignment is guaranteed upon graduation, and those with strong abilities can even become director within one year.

Employment is not a problem at all, people are scrambling for jobs everywhere.

Seeing Chen Jun's firm attitude, Lin Yao had no choice but to nod obediently.

But I still feel confused.

Why would you quit your job at a cooking stall and go work as a deputy director in a factory?

Although the position of deputy director sounds more prestigious, the money earned is far less than that from setting up a stall!

......

The next day.

At ten o'clock in the morning, Chen Jun led Lin Yao and Yan Jiecheng to prepare to set up the stall.

As soon as I walked out of the hospital, I heard a cursing voice behind me.

"Useless thing, it's already so late to wake me up!"

"Trash, it's all trash!"

The three of them turned around and saw that it was Jia Zhang who rushed out from the yard.

She held two chickens in her left hand and two chickens in her right hand, looking very anxious.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way!" Jia Zhang pushed Yan Jiecheng aside arrogantly, then trotted out.
