This boy is named Pan Tiezhu, the son of Uncle San and Aunt Wang from the steel shop, and also Yu Hui's childhood playmate.
When Yu Hui was a child, he was the leader of the kids, leading a group of boys to explore the mountains. Pan Tiezhu was one of them.
Later, Yu Hui was admitted to Taoyuan No. 1 Middle School and boarded at the school, so they rarely played together anymore.
However, every time he comes back, he organizes his childhood friends to play together.
In Pan Tiezhu's heart, Yu Hui will always be the image of an older brother. He was so excited when he heard his parents say that Yu Hui was coming back that he stayed up all night.
This time, after a long and difficult climb up the mountain, I finally saw the afterglow of the sunset.
Little did he know, he had long forgotten him...
Pan Tiezhu wanted to take the initiative to greet him, but another voice in his heart advised him: Wait a bit and see if he can remember.
After much hesitation, he decided to wait a little longer.
"Hello, your braised chicken is ready."
"Oh, okay."
Pan Tiezhu took the braised chicken and hurried away.
When he finally realized what was happening, he discovered that Yu Hui hadn't recognized him, and that he had forgotten to greet him first...
He hadn't been able to attend to either side, and he felt a little regretful, but now he didn't want to go over there anymore.
After a day of hiking, he now has a sore back and a rumbling stomach.
The most important thing now is to fill our stomachs.
I wonder if Brother Yu Hui's braised chicken is any good...
Pan Tiezhu silently recited the command in his mind and opened the lid.
In an instant.
An indescribable fragrance wafted by.
What smells like?
He paused for a moment, then took a few more deep breaths before confirming that the aroma was indeed coming from the braised chicken.
(╯▽╰) It smells so good~~
Did Yu Hui really make this?
A flicker of doubt crossed Pan Tiezhu's mind, but the feeling vanished in an instant. He put down his chopsticks and took a bite of chicken.
Smooth and firm, with a delicious flavor~
It's stewed to perfection, and every bite is a delightful surprise.
"Wow, this is so delicious!" Pan Tiezhu exclaimed.
Burp~~~
Five minutes later, Pan Tiezhu finished the whole bowl of braised chicken. He patted his belly, still feeling a little unsatisfied.
How about another bowl?
On the other side.
After Pan Tiezhu left, many more diners came to Yu Hui's stall.
One group consisted of tourists who climbed the mountain, while the other group consisted of stall owners.
"Boss, I'd like an order of braised chicken, just potatoes!"
"Give me three servings, and as side dishes, one serving of tofu skin and mushrooms, one serving of potatoes and wood ear mushrooms, and one serving of enoki mushrooms and fried tofu."
"I'll have one too!"
+1.
+1.
+1.
......
Before long, the remaining braised chicken was sold out.
After packing up his stall, Yu Hui glanced at his phone.
[16:32]
It's still early, time to pack up and head down the mountain to buy ingredients.
"Boss, I'd like another order of braised chicken!"
Just as Yu Hui was about to pack up and leave, a familiar voice rang in his ears.
He looked in the direction of the sound and saw a chubby boy, Pan Tiezhu, who had just bought a serving.
Before Yu Hui could answer, Pan Tiezhu spoke first:
"Boss, are you closing up shop?"
He originally wanted to call him Brother Yu Hui, but the words caught in his throat, and he ended up calling him "Boss".
Yu Hui nodded.
"We're sold out for today, and I don't have any ingredients right now. Otherwise, I could make you a fresh serving. Come back tomorrow."
The words were spoken.
Yu Hui pushed his stall, preparing to go home.
"Don't go!" Pan Tiezhu grabbed Yu Hui's stall.
Yu Hui turned his head and looked Pan Tiezhu up and down like a fool before finally uttering a sentence.
"What happened?"
Right now.
Pan Tiezhu still misses that taste...
"If I can provide you with the ingredients, can you cook it?"
After saying that, he felt it might be a bit inappropriate, so he added, "I can pay you."
Water?
"Where did these ingredients come from?" Yu Hui asked.
He grew up at the foot of the mountain and wasn't very familiar with the mountain, but Pan Tiezhu was different.
Although his parents owned a steel shop, both his maternal and paternal grandparents lived in the mountains, and he grew up there.
After graduating from vocational high school, Pan Tiezhu did not choose to work in a big city, but stayed in his hometown.
I worked for a year at first, and then I just stayed at home doing nothing.
Uncle San watched his son playing video games at home every day and was so disappointed in him that he often scolded him.
Whenever Pan Tiezhu argues with his parents, he runs to his maternal or paternal grandmother's house.
Therefore, he is quite familiar with the mountain.
"Most families on this mountain raise chickens, ducks, and geese, and also grow vegetables. They are not only self-sufficient, but some families also sell their produce at the market down the mountain."
"If you're willing to buy their side dishes and free-range chickens, it would be a win-win situation," Pan Tiezhu said seriously.
Upon hearing this, Yu Hui scrutinized Pan Tiezhu once more.
"Are you a mountain dweller who lives on this mountain?"
“No.” Pan Tiezhu shook his head. “My family owns a steel shop, but my grandmother and maternal grandmother both live in the mountains.”
The words had barely left his mouth.
A figure flashed through Yu Hui's mind.
Could it be him?
He suddenly remembered that his third uncle's son was about the same age as this boy, and their facial features were also somewhat similar.
only......
It's hard to connect the 200-pound fat man in front of you with the skinny and small Pan Tiezhu.
"Are you Uncle San's son, Xiao Zhu?" Yu Hui asked tentatively.
