Aunt Zhang returned to her stall, eagerly unpacked the braised chicken, and began to eat it heartily.
"Hmm... this kid's cooking skills are amazing, this braised chicken is way better than my old man's!"
"Not bad, he's using free-range chickens. I knew I hadn't misjudged this kid!"
Aunt Zhang's family raises some chickens, ducks, and geese, and also grows a lot of vegetables.
Apart from occasionally going down the mountain to buy some pork, fish, and shrimp to improve their lives, they are self-sufficient most of the time, eating what they grow and raise themselves.
I have no worries about food and drink every day, and I live a very comfortable life.
Her eldest son, who used to work in Shenzhen, wanted to take her to live there.
Big city, huh?
Convenient transportation and convenient living.
Aunt Zhang initially agreed. She had never been to a big city before and had always heard her neighbors chat, always thinking that big cities were bustling with traffic and full of opportunities.
Who knew?
When I got there, I realized it wasn't like I'd imagined at all.
After staying for just over a month, Aunt Zhang said she couldn't stand it anymore and hurriedly returned to her hometown.
For her, the countryside is still the most comfortable and carefree place.
There are no fast-grown chickens, and no vegetables with excessive pesticides; everything is completely natural.
Perhaps because she has lived in rural areas for a long time, she can tell at a glance whether it is a free-range chicken or a fast-grown chicken.
She had always thought that Yu Hui used fast-grown chickens, and that she only went to buy them to fill her stomach.
Who knew this guy would use free-range chicken!
That's so generous!
You should know that free-range chickens now cost 30 yuan per jin (500g), and even wholesale chickens cost more than 20 yuan per jin.
A normal-weight free-range chicken costs around 150 yuan, while a fast-grown chicken only costs 30 yuan, a difference of five times!
Thinking of this, Aunt Zhang's goodwill towards Yu Hui increased rapidly.
Forget introducing girls, she's even considering introducing her youngest daughter to him now!
"Aunt Zhang, why did you buy so much?"
Seeing Aunt Zhang carrying four boxed lunches, Xiong Bowen assumed she had bought two.
Just then, Aunt Zhang said, "I'm so hungry, so I asked the young man to give me two more boxes of rice."
Is this even possible?
Xiong Bowen was amazed by Aunt Zhang's actions and exclaimed: "Auntie really knows how to have fun!"
The two chatted for a few minutes, then tacitly ended the conversation and went about their own business.
Xiong Bowen swallowed hard as he watched Aunt Zhang eat large chunks of meat.
He didn't know why.
Even though I'm already full, why do I still want to eat another bowl?
That's probably the charm of braised chicken!
It makes you want to eat more even after you've finished eating it.
"Aunt Zhang, could you please take a look at this for me? I'll be right back!"
After hesitating for a moment, Xiong Bowen decided to buy another one. He left a sentence and hurriedly ran towards Yu Hui's stall.
"This child~"
Looking in the direction Xiong Bowen was running, Aunt Zhang knew he was going to buy braised chicken again.
"Okay, don't worry!" Aunt Zhang replied, then buried her head and frantically ate her rice again.
"Mmm, it's so delicious..."
Before long, she finished her second bowl of rice.
Looking at the empty braised chicken and the remaining broth for rice, Aunt Zhang hesitated...
She's already about 70-80% full; any more and she'll be stuffed to the point of being stupid.
It's better to save the broth for rice and eat it when we get home after closing up shop in the afternoon.
Ultimately, willpower triumphed over appetite.
She decided to pack up the last portion and enjoy it at home.
As for why I won't buy another one?
Frugality and thrift are traditional Chinese virtues, and Aunt Zhang is a practitioner of these virtues!
......
On the other side.
Yu Hui's stall gradually attracted many people.
Most of these people were tourists who had climbed to the top of the mountain, while a small number were stall owners.
After a morning of hard work, Yu Hui's stall became well-known.
Everyone wanted to try what the braised chicken from the mountaintop tasted like!
......
As the afterglow lingered, he kept making braised chicken.
Even though he was a little tired, seeing the expressions of pure enjoyment on the faces of the diners after eating the food he had prepared made it all worthwhile.
I don't know how much time passed.
As the afterglow faded, people slowly left the stall. Finally, they finished their work and could sit down and rest for a while.
As soon as he sat down, he heard a mechanical sound in his ear.
[Ding! Congratulations, host, for completing the mission and receiving the following rewards: Portable storage space, a divine-level braised pork recipe, and a divine-level tomato and scrambled eggs recipe.]
Upon hearing the system's voice, Yu Hui realized that he had completed the task.
......
In an instant.
A warm current flowed into Yu Hui's body, and he unconsciously closed his eyes, carefully feeling this powerful force gradually merging with his body.
I don't know how much time passed.
He exhaled a breath of stale air, slowly opened his eyes, and suddenly found himself holding an exquisite cigarette case.
Made of large-leaf sandalwood, with exquisite craftsmanship.
"Is this what a portable storage box is?" Yu Hui wondered to himself.
He thought about it for a moment and realized that it was no different from an ordinary cigarette box; it was just an empty box.
It's just a bit more refined, so it can be used to hold cups.
While everyone was distracted, Yu Hui picked up a mineral water bottle and brought it close to the cigarette pack.
Just then.
Something amazing happened.
The mineral water bottle disappeared the instant it came near the cigarette pack.
But the cigarette box is still empty and can still be used to hold phlegm.
It just so happens that Yu Hui sometimes smokes a few cigarettes to relax, so this is a necessity for him.
If we put a little cigarette in there, no one will suspect anything.
