Siheyuan: Father Yi Zhonghai and Sister-in-law Lou Xiaoe

"Jingle Bell!"

"Wow, it's so lively!"

As a series of bicycle bells rang out, Yi Bufan shouted, and many people in the Central Courtyard came over to eat while smelling Sha Zhu cooking.

"Are you guys going to practice cycling?"

Xu Damao turned and looked at Yi Bufan.

Jia Dongxu didn't chase Xu Damao to beat him anymore. With so many people around, it was embarrassing to mention Qin Huairu's affairs.

Besides, they have important things to do.

“Well, Xiao Ran can ride on his own after running a few more laps.”

Yi Bufan walked in pushing his bicycle.

"Then you haven't eaten yet? Why don't you ask your sister-in-law to heat it up for you? We just finished eating too."

Xu Damao originally planned to come and brag to Yi Bufan and build up their relationship.

"Don't bother, we have to boil water and fill the kettle anyway."

"Just go back and cook some noodles."

Yi Bufan didn't want to disturb them so late. The key point was that Xu Damao and Lou Xiao'e had already eaten, and he would have to watch them eat. How embarrassing.

"Well, there will be a movie showing in the factory tomorrow night, so you guys don't have to practice. Come back early to eat and go watch a movie. It's a new movie."

Xu Damao's words attracted the attention of the neighbors.

Whenever the Red Star Steel Mill showed a movie, people nearby would go and watch.

After all, this is the only entertainment activity that can be experienced.

"Row!"

Yi Bufan nodded.

"Then I'll pack some melon seeds when I come back tomorrow."

Xu Xiaoran whispered to Yi Bufan and went back.

Now Xu Xiaoran is very skilled at taking advantage of others. Picking up some tea leaves or melon seeds is just an easy thing for him.

"Boom boom boom!"

Just when Xu Xiaoran started the stove, added coal and started to boil water, Jia Dongxu arrived.

He was holding a bowl and a steamed bun in his hands.

"We are still hungry. We have nothing to eat now. Go beg for food from somewhere else!"

Yi Bufan looked at the man holding a bowl in one hand and a steamed bun in the other. Doesn't he look like a beggar coming to his door?

It was as if saying, "Please be kind and give me a steamed bun."

"What do you mean begging? I'm here to bring you food."

Jia Dongxu's face darkened when he heard this and he glared at Yi Bufan.

"How old are you? Are you in such a hurry to be my father?"

Yi Bufan glanced at the bowl in Jia Dongxu's hand, and it seemed that there was indeed a fragrance wafting out.

"He's older than you anyway."

"You guys don't have to cook anymore. I'll serve you some of the dishes that Sha Zhu cooked just now, one is fried zucchini with meat, and the other is shredded potatoes with hot peppers."

Jia Dongxu said as he put down the bowl, along with a steamed bun.

"Do you want money? If you want money, take it away."

Yi Bufan took a look and found that this Sha Zhu was indeed a chef. The dish looked good, his knife skills were also good, and it smelled very delicious.

"No, I'm letting you taste it for free, you think it's you!"

Jia Dongxu was so angry that he was about to burst into flames.

"Have you washed this bowl? And your hand..."

Yi Bufan asked with some concern.

"They are all clean. Try them quickly. Do you want us to cook for you in the future? They are cheap. Just this dish, one with meat is 40 cents, one without meat is 15 cents, and the steamed bun is only one cent."

"If you want, I'll bring it to you every day. A lunch box of vegetables is enough for the two of you, and it won't cost more than one dollar and fifty cents, including the steamed buns."

What this means is that you can save even 50 cents.

“Anyone buy it?”

Yi Bufan was puzzled.

"Yes, it's only the second day, and we have to deliver to fifteen or sixteen people. If it weren't for you, I would have delivered it to others a long time ago."

Jia Dongxu felt that it didn’t matter if a few more people mentioned it.

"Send it to someone? Doesn't that mean they have to order it first?"

Yi Bufan didn't expect that these two people were practical people and took action so quickly.

"Yes, book it one day in advance."

Jia Dongxu nodded, he had made a lot of money in the past two days.

"That's so passive. You can't make much money. If it were me, I would let people place orders and then sell more to find people to buy, like people who get off work late need it."

"If you wait for people to buy from you, you'll lose a lot of money."

After saying this, Yi Bufan took the chopsticks from Xu Xiaoran and took two bites.

"Well, this dish is good, very delicious."

“The meat is also delicious, smooth and tasty.”

“The shredded potatoes are also good, with a moderate texture.”

Yi Bufan ate and commented at the same time.

"That's right. Sha Zhu is the one who often cooks for the leader."

"How about ordering ten meals first?"

Jia Dongxu felt relieved when he saw Yi Bufan's expression.

"Maybe. With two dollars I can buy two boxes of meat dumplings and one box of meat, vegetables and scrambled eggs."

"It's much better than what you have."

Yi Bufan refused while eating, and Jia Dongxu's face turned green.

"You only care about dumplings. I've eaten you like dumplings. You don't know what's good for you!"

Jia Dongxu left angrily.

“It does seem pretty good.”

Xu Xiaoran also ate with gusto.

"Yes, we won't buy it either. That's called speculation. If we get caught, we'll be implicated too."

Yi Bufan would not go along with this person.

"Actually, I still like eating big meat dumplings, hehe."

Xu Xiaoran naturally understood the pros and cons of this.

Just then, Jia Dongxu came back.

"Brother Dongxu, we really don't want to buy it, we like to eat dumplings!"

Yi Bufan looked at Jia Dongxu who almost rushed in.

"I'll get the bowl!"

Jia Dongxu didn't give Yi Bufan a good look.

"Oh, wait!"

Yi Bufan quickly poured the remaining food into his own plate.

"Don't you like eating dumplings?"

Jia Dongxu had a gloomy face.

"Then we can't waste Brother Dongxu's kindness. How can I let you take it back?"

"I was thinking of washing the dishes for you and sending them over."

Yi Bufan said as he stuffed the bowl into Jia Dongxu's hands.

"thank you!"

Jia Dongxu left after saying this.

"Why be polite? We are just neighbors."

After saying that, he peeled off the skin of the steamed bun and started eating it.
