Zhang Lanlan had just finished grocery shopping and returned home when Zhang Qiqi and Zhang Haoze arrived home from get off work.

As soon as she entered the room, Zhang Qiqi sensed that something was off about the atmosphere.

Looking again at the bags that her mother had just put down on the dining table, a hint of surprise appeared in her eyes.

"Mom, what delicious food did you buy? It smells so good." Zhang Haoze smelled it too, and he walked over first, asking Zhang Lanlan as he went.

Zhang Lanlan smiled but remained silent.

Zhang Qiqi immediately understood the meaning behind her mother's smile.

"Could it be Boss Shi's braised food?!"

This familiar taste—what else could it be but braised food? And it's not just any ordinary braised food; it tastes the same as the dishes I ate a few days ago—no, it's even more fragrant.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Haoze quickly opened the bag to check.

Unexpectedly, it really was Boss Shi's braised food.

He was stunned.

"Mom, how did you manage to buy it?"

I heard today that the owner went to sell braised food in a park, but that park is quite far from here. My mom doesn't usually go there. If she wants to go to a park, there's one nearby.

What's going on?

"Hmph, your mom went to the East District with your Aunt Bai and Aunt Jiang today and joined a group for square dancing. Guess what? Someone in the group actually ran into that girl who sells braised food."

"Then your Aunt Bai and I rushed over there!"

There weren't many people there back then.

As she said this, Zhang Lanlan's eyebrows danced with joy, and she was in an extremely cheerful mood.

The group she joined was no less impressive than the groups that young people usually join.

There's nothing to hide.

She bought those four portions of braised food incredibly quickly.

There's no need to queue; the only people ahead of us are Old Tan and Sister Li.

"Great! We'll have braised food again tonight. I've been craving it all day," Zhang Qiqi said.

This braised food is like an addiction. She thinks about it all day while she's at work, and she looks forward to getting off work at 6 pm every day so she can receive the news that the owner is setting up a stall. If it's nearby, she can immediately ride her electric bike there.

Unfortunately, the place was far away yesterday, and she had to work overtime for a while, otherwise she would have liked to rush over and see if she could buy it.

"I heard that the braised food was even better yesterday than the day before. Will it taste even better today?"

“Possibly. According to those regular customers, the food that Boss Shi sells gets better as you eat it,” Zhang Haoze added.

Unfortunately, they only got to try each dish once at most in the first few weeks, so they don't know what it tasted like before.

We could give it a try today.

"It smells different to me, it should taste even better." Zhang Lanlan opened the lid of the braised food.

The aroma is enticing.

"I'll go cook the dishes first, you two eat first."

Seeing the two big, hungry people, their eyes were practically glued to them.

"Haha, let's eat later, Mom. Let me wash the vegetables for you."

This way, we can cook faster and eat sooner.

"I'll go take a shower first. I was out on business today and I smell bad." Zhang Haoze turned and went to his room to get his clothes.

He didn't want to sit at the table smelling bad while eating.

When it comes to enjoying braised food, the best way is to eat it in a relaxed and comfortable state of mind; that's what true enjoyment is all about.

After taking a shower, before the food was even cooked, he went to fix the old fan that his mother had left behind.

Since it just spun around without any wind, and he couldn't bear to throw it away, he had no choice but to repair it.

By the time the repairs were finished, the food was almost ready.

"Brother, you're amazing! You can even fix this old thing."

Zhang Qiqi looked over with admiration.

"The principles of electrical appliances are all pretty much the same, and the problems are always caused by the same few types of appliances. But this fan is really good; the hardware is quite good."
