Chapter 155 The stall is set up again
When Zhong Chengyi heard the noise in the courtyard subside, he yawned. Seeing that Zhong Chengfa was about to go inside, he quickly called out to him.
"Big brother! Big brother!"
Hearing his voice, Zhong Chengfa came over, somewhat puzzled: "Didn't you come back in the middle of the night? Why are you awake so early?"
Zhong Chengyi was speechless: "Why did I wake up so early? Your wife was scolding the child early in the morning, didn't that wake me up?"
He snorted, "If my sister-in-law hadn't been unaware that I came back late last night, I would have thought that he was actually indirectly criticizing me while seemingly scolding the child!"
Zhong Chengfa's lips twitched.
Zhong Chengyi immediately asked the question that had been bothering him all night: "Brother, you said Mom got married... what happened?"
Zhong Chengfa snorted softly, "What else could it be? Mom married Director Song! They've moved to their new house in town!"
"She really did marry Song Xingzhi!" Zhong Chengyi slapped his thigh. "I knew it! That Song Xingzhi was always running to our house! Turns out he had ulterior motives towards our mom!"
He then sounded somewhat regretful: "I wasn't home for Mom's wedding...I hope Mom's angry."
"Why is Mom angry?" Zhong Chengfa rolled his eyes. "My second son and I are at home. We went there that day too. Mom, she..."
He pursed his lips, feeling somewhat dejected: "Mom doesn't care about our thoughts at all..."
Zhong Chengyi was taken aback: "Your thoughts? What are your thoughts? It's like the sky is going to rain and a mother is going to remarry..."
"Big brother, you can't possibly think that Mom needs your permission to remarry, can you?"
No matter how you look at it, his mother isn't that kind of person anymore!
Zhong Chengfa choked, somewhat angered by his third brother: "You...you can't reason with a fool like you!"
He waved his hand impatiently: "Go to sleep! I'll tell Hongjuan to keep her voice down!"
Zhong Chengyi lay back down on the bed, planning to sleep until the afternoon, then go to town to get something to eat and ask his mother if anyone had visited his father's grave recently.
Zhang Chunxue, on the other hand, has already started preparing to set up her stall today.
Song Xingzhi is going back to work today, but Zhou Mingli took three days off, so she has one last day of vacation left and is busy helping Zhang Chunxue with various tasks.
The two of them handed Zhong Yuanyuan over to Zhong Xiaoxiao early in the morning, then went to the meat processing plant to buy a bunch of ingredients, and started cleaning them as soon as they got home.
Song Yanshen and Song Yanze soaked the dried bean curd sticks and kelp at home in advance, and washed them together when they came back.
The family busied themselves and quickly processed the raw materials, starting to braise what needed to be braised.
It was Song Yanzhe's first time experiencing these things, especially when washing the pig intestines. He had a sour face and didn't want to get close. In the end, Zhang Chunxue sent him to peel potatoes.
Zhou Mingli asked curiously, "Mom, didn't you say you were going to sell them in the county? When are you planning to go?"
"Let's wait until Xiaoxiao goes back to school!" Zhang Chunxue smiled and glanced at Zhong Xiaoxiao. "We'll sell them in town for the next few days."
Song Yanzhe winked and said, "I think Second Aunt doesn't want to go too far away from Second Uncle..."
But he couldn't help but speak up again: "That guy in town who sells braised food! Second Aunt! You need to teach him a lesson! Ruin his business! Let him be arrogant!"
Zhang Chunxue couldn't help but laugh: "If you ruin his business, there won't be any braised food left in town when I get to the county..."
However, a thought stirred within her.
The reason I found Zhou Mingli a job before was to cheer her up and give her the confidence to divorce Zhong Chengfa. Now it seems that working as a cleaner in the hospital is not only hard work, but also doesn't pay much.
She thought that if she really ruined Zhang Dashun's stall, it would be a good business for Zhou Mingli to run the braised food business in town.
However, she didn't say anything for the time being, because no matter what, she had to deal with Zhang Dashun first.
Zhang Dashun set up his stall as usual today.
Zhang Chunxue hadn't come to set up her stall for the past few days, and Zhang Dashun had assumed she had quit or gone to the county.
The young people who had previously said they were going to the county to buy braised food from Zhang Chunxue have all been buying from him these past few days.
Zhang Dashun was very pleased with himself.
It seems that the braised food at his stall is more appealing!
However, after setting up his stall for quite some time today, very few people came, and Zhang Dashun suddenly felt uneasy.
This shouldn't be happening. Several regular customers come to buy something every day, and they usually come around this time! Why are they nowhere to be seen today?
As he was pondering this, he saw the two young men from before carrying an oil paper package, eating as they walked, and praising it all the while.
"Oh my! Aunt Zhang's braised food is still the best! I've been waiting for days, and I'm so glad I got to eat it!"
"I just had a bowl of braised pork offal...it was so satisfying!"
"I was wondering why she hadn't been setting up her stall for several days... Turns out she went to get married..."
"Luckily we were lucky today, we just happened to run into them... otherwise, with so many people, we wouldn't have made it..."
As the two walked further and further away, Zhang Dashun's face grew increasingly dark as he overheard their conversation.
Damn it, he was wondering why there were no customers at his stall... Turns out it was that widow Zhang again!
Thinking of this, Zhang Dashun couldn't help but grind his teeth.
This widow can actually get married? Who would be so blind as to want her!
The thought that all his customers had been taken away by Zhang Chunxue made Zhang Dashun even more unhappy.
He ran home and called his youngest son to watch the stall, while he himself planned to go and take a look at Zhang Chunxue's stall.
Zhang Chunxue's shop is still located near the grain and oil station, since there's a lot of foot traffic there.
As for Meng Wanshu working at the grain and oil station... that's not important.
Song Yanshen and Zhong Xiaoxiao helped Zhang Chunxue with her work, while Zhou Mingli held the child and took care of the guests.
As for Song Yanze...
He was eating a bowl of braised pork offal with gusto.
It's so delicious! It tastes exactly like the braised pork offal in Beijing!
No, it tastes even better than the braised pork offal he's had in Beijing!
He had just tasted his second aunt's braised dishes; the pig ears were incredibly chewy and flavorful! The potatoes were soft and tender! The braised meat was so fragrant…
In short, every single one of them was delicious!
Song Yanze wondered if his second uncle had married his second aunt simply because he was attracted to her.
At this moment, a large crowd had already gathered in front of Zhang Chunxue's stall, some wanting to buy braised pork offal and others wanting to buy braised dishes.
Song Yanshen and Zhong Xiaoxiao were extremely busy, one serving the braised dishes and the other cutting the braised meats.
In comparison, Song Yanzhe, a pure foodie, seems a bit out of place.
However, after finishing the braised pork in his bowl in a few bites, he obediently squatted down to the side to wash the dishes.
The bowls used by the guests for the braised pork offal must be washed promptly, otherwise they won't be able to keep up with demand.
