Around 11:30, Zhang Jianguo, who had gone out to get meat, returned.
As soon as he got home, he smelled an extremely strong yet refreshing fragrance.
The taste was different from the stir-fried and barbecue smells that usually wafted from his family's barbecue restaurant.
It's a unique, wonderful smell that makes your mouth water and your stomach rumble with hunger, making you want to eat.
It's not the kind of eating that's done simply to fill your stomach.
It's simply that the smell is so wonderful that it evokes a desire to eat, to feel, and to experience that wonderful sensation.
He parked the car quickly, not having time to put the meat he had brought back into the freezer.
They went ahead and headed to the small kitchen at the back.
"Wife, Dajiang, what delicious food are you making? It smells so good!"
"You're back? I cooked some dishes. You're back just in time. Go wash your hands and get ready to eat."
Xu Lei turned around and smiled at her chubby husband.
"Wait a minute, I'll go put the meat in the freezer first," Zhang Jianguo said with a simple smile.
"Zhang Jiang, hurry up and help your dad... Oh, you little rascal, you're sneaking a bite while we're not looking, aren't you?"
"What, are you a reincarnated starving ghost?!"
Xu Lei turned around and happened to see her husband Zhang Jiang grab a piece of stir-fried cabbage with his hand and stuff it into his mouth.
A nameless anger suddenly rose in her heart.
"Mom, what my little cousin said was true!!"
"This cabbage is so delicious!!!"
"I think the other dishes must be delicious too!"
"Or, we could skip pickling the cowpeas and just stir-fry them..."
"Ouch, ahh, Mom, be gentle, don't tear my ear, it hurts!"
"Okay, I'll go help Dad move the goods right away, let go!"
As Zhang Jiang escaped from the kitchen, he didn't forget to put the two fingers he had used to pinch the cabbage in his mouth and lick them clean.
That's outrageous!
They're all vegetables, so why do they taste so different?
The cabbage he just described was, without exaggeration, the best cabbage he had ever tasted in his life.
"Dad, you still brought back half a sheep today?"
When he went to help out, Zhang Jiang casually asked.
The lamb they eat isn't bought from the market; his father partners with someone to order it from Inner Mongolia.
The quality of that mutton was far better than the mutton bought from the market.
It's just a matter of grilling it casually, as long as you don't just throw on any seasonings.
All the grilled meat skewers were delicious.
That's why their barbecue restaurant does fairly well.
There were especially many people ordering lamb skewers.
Recently, his father and his business partner were discussing buying cattle from there together.
Once they can buy beef, their beef skewer business will probably pick up.
As for the other meat and vegetables, they were delivered to them by people from the market.
"Yes, you could say that."
"Dajiang, you stand over there. I can manage on my own. Don't get your clothes dirty."
Zhang Jianguo isn't very tall, only about 1.76 meters.
To be honest, this height is not bad; it's not particularly short.
The problem is, he's fat.
Especially his belly, which looked like he was five months pregnant.
When a person gains weight, they appear less tall.
In addition, he was slightly bald, which made him appear even shorter.
When Zhang Jiang stood next to him, he was noticeably thinner than him.
Even Zhang Jiang's mother, Xu Lei, is the type who is neither fat nor thin, just right.
"It's alright, Dad, we'll carry it together."
After quickly moving their things, the two washed their hands and then walked to the dining table.
"Dad, you must try this cabbage, it's so delicious!"
"It's just a cabbage, how can it taste better than meat?"
Although Zhang Jianguo said that, his chopsticks honestly landed on the cabbage.
Of course, he didn't put the first piece of cabbage he picked up with his chopsticks into his mouth.
Instead, it went directly into his wife's bowl.
"Here, honey, you've worked hard. You eat first."
"Honey, you've worked so hard. Come on, eat more."
"..." Zhang Jiang glanced at the two of them silently, then lowered his head to pick up some food and rice.
Sometimes he wondered how his father, with his looks and physique, managed to marry such a wonderful woman as his mother.
But when he looked at his father's past attitude towards his mother, he felt that his father should indeed be with his mother.
Her mother manages the family's money.
His father takes the initiative to do the housework.
When there was something delicious, his dad would immediately give it to his mom.
Whenever his mother is in a bad mood, his father immediately goes over to comfort her.
His mother also cared a lot about his father.
So, he's just a superfluous presence.
"Honey, this dish is really good! Where did you buy it?"
"Let's get our supplies from that store sometime."
"Dad, don't think about it. You can't buy it outside. These are grown by my cousin's classmate's family."
“I’ve already asked, and they say their vegetables are all organic.”
"It tastes good, but it's also expensive. There's a TaoTao online store, but in the past, as soon as any vegetables were put on the shelves, they would be sold out very quickly."
"Oh? Where does your little cousin's classmate live? How much do these vegetables cost?" Zhang Jianguo was still very interested.
"It's in Qingshui Village, which is more than 200 kilometers away from Ancheng."
"Cabbages are 20 yuan each, and other vegetables, such as bok choy and water spinach, are also 20 yuan per jin (500g)."
"Goodness, these common vegetables are so expensive?"
