When her son Zhang Haoze came home, Zhang Lanlan had just finished cooking the last dish. When she saw him carrying a bag as he entered, her eyes instantly crinkled with laughter.
"I thought you couldn't buy it anymore, it took you so long to come back."
After placing the braised food on the table, Zhang Haoze plopped down on the sofa. "I almost couldn't buy any. There were so many people, everyone was buying several portions."
He stood in a long queue, and by the time it was his turn, there were only a few portions left on the stall. Fortunately, he managed to buy two.
The rest are for those who come after.
This trip was really tough, but thankfully I got the goods, otherwise I would have been really upset for a while.
"Boss Shi is so popular now. It might be difficult to get her food in the future. I wonder where she will set up her stall next time."
Today, people from the east side of the city came over to compete with them.
There's really no way to deal with it; the queues are so long I'm questioning my existence.
"Yeah, it's good that you managed to buy some today, bro." Zhang Qiqi leaned closer to him. "Brother, let me tell you, this braised food is really delicious, even better than the last shop!"
"Have you eaten?"
Zhang Haoze looked up at her and then saw the empty box on the dining table.
Zhang Qiqi smiled shyly, "Haha, didn't you go and buy some? My mom and I just wanted to try some, but we couldn't stop eating them."
"Alright, alright, you two stop chatting, let's eat." Zhang Lanlan took off her apron, came to the dining table, and opened the braised food that Zhang Haoze had just bought.
There were two boxes in total, the same ones she bought.
There are only four kinds of braised dishes.
"It's delicious, but there aren't many kinds of food available." Zhang Lanlan said with a bit of regret; she wanted to try something else.
"That will probably take a few days. The boss will gradually increase the supply later, but I really don't know if we'll still be able to buy it by then."
"Wow, this duck neck has so much meat!" Zhang Haoze exclaimed in surprise when he saw the duck neck in the box.
These plump chunks of meat are so appealing, you'll fall in love with them at first sight.
Zhang Haoze looked at the duck wings again.
"These duck wings are also cleaned so thoroughly, there isn't a single feather. Boss Shi is so strict about the quality of food."
"Yes! Brother, you should try it. You're a big hero today."
I bought two portions of braised food, now I can eat again.
“Okay.” Zhang Haoze pulled up a chair and sat down, ready to savor the braised food.
The first thing to try is definitely the duck neck, which is the most signature item in braised dishes.
Just looking at the plump, meaty appearance is enough to make your mouth water.
Take a bite, and you'll find plenty of meat, followed by a burst of spicy flavor in your mouth.
"It's so spicy."
It was so spicy that his face turned red.
He doesn't usually eat spicy food. When Zhang Qiqi buys braised food, he usually eats the non-spicy kind.
But the braised food the owner was selling was way too spicy.
It was so spicy that his tongue went numb.
But I still want to keep eating.
After finishing a piece of duck neck, he ate some edamame. Edamame wasn't as spicy as duck neck, which suited him well.
"Alright, let's eat first. Don't get an upset stomach. Eating something so spicy on an empty stomach will make you feel terrible later," Zhang Lanlan reminded her.
"good."
Zhang Haoze scooped a bowl of rice, took a bite of seaweed, and ate a big mouthful of rice.
I couldn't help but exclaim, "It smells so good!"
It would be even better if this braised dish contained duck gizzards or duck hearts; it would make it even more appetizing.
He can eat two bowls of rice, making up for all the food he missed during this period.
Tonight, their family experienced a long-awaited surge in appetite, and the food and braised dishes on the table were completely devoured.
