The Zhang family's father and son quarreled so fiercely that the two people in the kitchen were so scared that they didn't even dare to show their heads.

As soon as dinner was ready, Song Yuehua and Zhou Xiaohu left You Mansion under the pretext of delivering the meal.

As soon as they arrived at the chess hall, Song Yuehua hadn't put down the burden on her shoulders yet, when Luo Guo ran over and asked happily.

"Mr. Song, can you help me make braised pork?"

“Yes.”

Song Yuehua brought the food box to the table and opened it a crack, and the hot steam from the meat gushed out. When it was completely opened, a bowl full of braised pork with sauce and flavor appeared in front of everyone. The moment the bowl was placed on the table, the braised pork with sauce and flavor was crystal clear and trembling slightly.

“It smells so good.”

Lu Cheng swallowed hard and stretched out his chopsticks to pick up something, but was protected by Luo Guo.

"Be polite, this is my order."

"Why are you so stingy? At worst, I'll pay half."

When Lu Cheng tried to reach for his chopsticks again, Luo Guo waved his hand and pushed him away, "I ordered the food. Even if you want to share, I have to be the first to use my chopsticks."

"Okay, okay."

Lu Cheng watched eagerly as Luo Guo took a chopstick over, picked up a handful of meat, stuffed it into his mouth, and the juice burst out, making his mouth full of oil.

By the time Luo Guo finished taking the first bite, Yu Duocai and Yu Zhenren, who were standing next to him, had quickly picked up the meat.

Lu Cheng was still a little slow and only caught a small piece of meat.

“It smells so good!”

The aroma of meat was smelled by other chess friends, and their mouths immediately began to salivate.

Someone came over and asked Song Yuehua how much a bowl of braised pork cost. Song Yuehua glanced at Zhou Xiaohu and saw him making a gesture.

Song Yuehua said, "120 coins a bowl."

"120 Wen?" The man pointed at the large bowl on Luo Guo's table and asked, "Is it that kind of large bowl?"

"Yes."

"Then give me a bowl too." The man licked his lips and said.

Song Yuehua smiled helplessly, "Sir, that's the dish they ordered. I only made one portion. If you really want to eat it, I'll ask the chef to make another portion for you tomorrow. Is that okay with you?"

Upon hearing this, Mr. Mu and his companions also came to the counter and asked, "According to what you said, as long as we order in advance, we can eat it?"

Song Yuehua thought for a moment and said, "After all, this is a chess hall. It's okay to add one or two more dishes, but too many would be inappropriate. If you really want to eat something, just tell your friends and ask the chef. We'll make it if we can. If it's too complicated, I hope you can forgive me."

After Master Mu whispered a few words to Master Bai, he smiled and said, "Then let's say in advance that we will add a braised pork dish at noon tomorrow."

Someone took the lead, and people followed suit. Before dinner even started, 10 servings of braised pork had been ordered.

After Song Yuehua received the deposit and finished recording the accounts, she felt someone standing in front of her. When she looked up, she found it was Fourth Master Zuo.

"Can you cook fish?" Master Zuo Si was a little embarrassed.

Song Yuehua asked Zhou Xiaohu, "Is there any fish for sale in the market now?"

"I haven't seen it these two days. I'll go to the market to look for it tomorrow." Zhou Xiaohu said.

"No need," said Zuo Siye, "I'll bring the fish tomorrow morning and you can just cook it for me."

Zhou Xiaohu smiled and replied, "That's fine. Do you want to eat it stewed or braised? Are there any dietary restrictions?"

"There's nothing to restrict. Just cook whatever makes you delicious." Fourth Master Zuo said with a smile.

Song Yuehua flipped through the booklet that recorded the braised pork and said helplessly, "This requires a lot of meat. Do you have enough money to buy vegetables?"

"That's enough," Zhou Xiaohu said. "I have to go to Zhang Dandan to buy another clay stove. For these ten servings, I need at least two small stoves."

Song Yuehua nodded and opened her lunch box, only to see a bowl full of braised pork inside.

The chess hall closed in the evening, and Song Yuehua returned to You Mansion. When she passed by Zhang Rushan's room, she heard the voices of the father and son again.

The next morning.

Zhou Xiaohu cooked a pot of porridge. Song Yuehua was drinking her third bowl when Zhang Rushan came over yawning and put the contract she mentioned yesterday on the table.

"Make two copies, one for the clerk and one for you. If you hire another clerk, you can make a copy yourself."

Zhang Rushan could hardly open his eyes, but he still scooped himself a bowl of porridge.

Zhou Xiaohu sat beside the table, looking at Zhang Rushan's haggard face and feeling worried. "Rushan, you didn't have dinner yesterday. I'll make you a pancake."

"No, no." Zhang Rushan held up the bowl with his head propped up, blowing on it while drinking.

"It's really not easy for you," Song Yuehua sighed, "By the way, prepare a contract for an account office for me in the next two days. I plan to find another account office."

Zhang Rushan asked, "Who are you looking for, accountant?"

"I don't know. We'll just use whoever comes." After Song Yue finished the porridge, she wiped her mouth and left.

Not long after the chess hall opened, Zuo Siye came over with two large grass carps and said, "Just cook one. I'll give you the other one."

"This is a treat for you."

Song Yuehua took it with a smile, then handed it to Xiang Xiaoyu, asking her to deliver it to You Mansion and give it to Zhou Xiaohu.

"You are really amazing to be able to catch a living grass carp at this time." Song Yuehua exclaimed.

Zuo Siye laughed and said, "I'll come over later."

Song Yuehua was also a little greedy. She hadn't eaten fresh fish in several years. She had dried fish and smoked fish at home, but they were nothing compared to fresh fish.

As noon approached, more and more people came to play chess.

Zhou Xiaohu had a lot of meals to deliver, so this time he just got a flatbed cart, which was filled with food boxes.

Master Zuo took up a whole basket by himself, and Xiang Xiaoyu helped him bring out the dishes: fish head vermicelli soup, steamed fish with fermented black beans and chopped peppers, and braised fish tail. There were three dishes in total. The moment the lid was opened, the aroma filled the air.
