Siheyuan: A Cook in the 60s

The one who was called aunt by the little boy smiled.

He walked over confidently and sat down.

She was not the little boy's aunt, but a neighbor.

Since the little boy invited her, she went over.

I followed them here because I was worried about the brother and sister, but since they were at the market, it didn't matter.

However, a bundle of rice noodles can be exchanged for a pot of mushroom soup.

The little boy got the better deal in this deal.

It's an advantage, but not much.

Mushrooms are worthless now.

"Sister, come, put it in front of you." The little boy filled a bowl and placed it in front of the girl: "Be careful of the heat."

The girl touched the tabletop and found a bowl and a spoon.

He picked up the spoon, scooped a spoonful and put it into his mouth.

This is the girl's habit. Even if she can't see, she doesn't want to trouble others. When it comes to eating, she has to rely on herself.

One bite.

For some reason, the girl felt as if she saw the mountains and forests...

"It's... so delicious..." The girl's voice was very sweet, like a lark.

“Is it really that delicious?”

Adults are different from children. Cao Wei's stalls are delicious, but most people think they are just so-so. They can just go home and make it themselves. Why bother? They can control their cravings. Uncle Aza took a sip of the soup, and the fresh taste rushed to his head. At that moment, he knew that he was done. It seemed that it was not easy to repay this favor.

He had planned it out long ago.

The boss let the little boy take advantage of him a little, so he came to the boss's place to get mushroom soup and gave him more, which was considered as returning the bargain.

The little boy is one of our own. When others show you kindness, you can’t just accept it shamelessly. Favors are something that should be reciprocated.

But the boss's craftsmanship.

Uncle Aza has seen the world, so he has no way of commenting.

This is so delicious.

One bite after another.

For some unknown reason, the sound of people swallowing saliva could be heard throughout the market.

Yesterday, not many people ordered, and even if someone did, it was just one bowl. It's nothing like now, one bowl after another, and it's so overwhelming that you can't stop.

"Boss, I want a bowl too..."

Someone couldn't help it.

"Me too……"

The three women who were looking at the little girl's aunt's smile had their smiles frozen on their faces.

It’s over. Time to get busy.

They knew in their hearts how good Cao Wei's cooking skills were. It can be said that everyone who had tasted it would say it was good. It is not an exaggeration to say that the streets were deserted. Now that it has been completely developed, they have something to do.

Let’s do it…

After all, it was the Queen's idea, so she is both sad and happy.

When Zhuoma and her family came back, they were shocked by what they saw.

There were a lot of people gathered in front of the small stall, seemingly waiting for a pot of mushroom soup to be made.

Meet Zhuoma's family.

Immediately, someone familiar came over and asked, "Hey, are you selling your mushrooms?"

"No, no, we'll eat it ourselves!" The father was so smart that he understood immediately that there was nothing to eat. Besides, the stove didn't seem to be full!

He immediately went over with his things.

"Boss, boss, we want a mushroom soup pot. Also, please add this in for me."

Cao Wei looked up and saw, wow, a pheasant, this is rare.

"Okay, this one is a little more troublesome to sit up, and it will take more time."

"It's okay, we can wait!"

Brother and sister Wu Qing and Wu Li walked towards Cao Wei's stall as usual. Today, they brought a lot of local ingredients. Wu Qing was a little nervous. These ingredients would be suitable for mushroom soup, but he didn't know if the boss would be willing to make it. Who knew that when they arrived, the market, which should have been empty at this time, was full of people.

"Brother, it's over. We've been discovered." Wu Li looked desperate.

Yesterday, the brother and sister were still wondering when Boss Cao's stall would be surrounded by people. Well, it turned out to be full in just one day. This was really frustrating.

"What to do?"

"Or, don't eat?" Wu Qing hesitated. There were too many people.

"No, I can't sleep without eating."

"Then let's get in line..."

This market usually has fewer people in the afternoon, and almost no people in the evening. When the patrolman saw this noisy market, he was stunned and hurried to understand the situation. Once he understood, he was a little confused. What's the big deal? Is it really that delicious? But since this happened, it must be reported.

You know, this market is at the foot of the mountain. Some of the people live in the town, and some live near the village. It's okay to go back during the day, but if you walk at night and get into trouble, it will be a big sin.

As soon as this was reported, the town leaders rushed over.

As soon as I came here, I met the Wu brother and sister who were snoring there.

The Wu brother and sister are old friends. They were able to make the acquisition here after informing the town.

The leader was fat, his last name was Lin, and he was a college student who was parachuted in. When he saw the brother and sister, he rolled his eyes and sat down.

I also took a set of bowls and chopsticks.

The brother and sister were stunned.

Then they saw Fatty Lin looking at them with a smile in his eyes.

"One bowl, just one bowl!" Wu Li stretched out a finger with heartache.

"Okay." Fatty Lin didn't say much. He made himself a bowl and then fell silent. He finished eating in a flash.

"This smell..."

"Here." Wu Qing pointed at the busy Cao Wei with his chin: "Head chef of Samadhi House."

"Hiss..." Fatty Lin took a breath and said, "Why did he come here?"

"Come and relax?"

Fatty Lin stopped talking. This was indeed a troublesome matter. He had originally planned to drive them away, but now it seemed difficult to do so.

No matter who this person is, he can make such delicious food. If he drives away the people and doesn't let them eat, do you think they will beat him?

Then we can only communicate briefly.

Fatty Lin thought so and sat there quietly waiting.

They are waiting.

Cao Wei is really exhausted.

He couldn't remember how long it had been since he had worked so hard.

The three women did not complain, but helped Cao Wei with many tasks with a smile on their faces.

This made him feel a bit like he was back in the days of cooking in a big pot in a steel mill. No, it was much more tiring than cooking in a big pot. The stoves here were not big, and it was very troublesome to take care of more than a dozen at the same time.

This was done until the moon quietly climbed up the branches.

After finishing the last pot, he wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked to the east. The moon was suspended right above the mountain, and the moonlight was shining down, reflecting the fleeting green on the mountain. Just looking up and taking such a casual glance was refreshing.
