Chapter 102 My
When Zhang Yanming got up the next morning, Zhang's father had already gotten up and washed up, and was in the kitchen looking at the things in the refrigerator and thinking about making breakfast.
The old man has been cooking for most of his life and is used to it. His work and rest times are more accurate than an alarm clock.
"Why are you getting up so early?" Dad Zhang was quite surprised when he saw Zhang Yanming. Not many young people can get up early unless they work shifts.
"I'm used to it. I don't have to cook in the morning. I just buy fried dough sticks and twists at the door, tofu brain cakes, oven cakes, and egg soup, as well as Lanzhou noodles and steamed buns. I'll cook them at noon and evening."
"No porridge?"
"..., really not."
"Then let me cook some porridge. Your mother likes to have a bowl of porridge in the morning to warm her stomach. Do you have some tea eggs and some pickles? Don't buy the cucumber mix, your mother doesn't like it."
Zhang Yanming asked: "You just care about my mother and don't care about anyone else?"
Dad Zhang washed the rice and put it in the water without replying: "What's the matter? Do you have any opinions? You are all grown up. You are healthy and there is nothing wrong with you."
Zhang Yanming thought for a while and said: "It seems that I don't eat cold cucumbers very much. This is a habit I have forced you to develop since I was a child."
Dad Zhang finished the pot, put the lid on it and turned on the electricity: "Nonsense, which day in summer did you not eat? Eat less? Cucumbers are cold, and eating them in winter will make your stomach cold."
Zhang Yanming laughed: "If you want to eat mixed cucumbers in winter, you can't buy them. Who is crazy? Mixed cucumbers in winter? How much do they cost?"
Let the pot cook by itself, Zhang Yanming dragged his father out to spin around and let him move around.
After running for fifteen laps, Dad Zhang also walked around for a few laps: "It's good to do some exercise in the morning. It feels like my body is stretched out. It's quite comfortable."
The two of them came out of school and walked up. Every breakfast shop was open. People were coming in and out, and white smoke was coming from the fried dough stick stalls there.
"It opens earlier here than above." Dad Zhang looked around.
"There is a lot of commuting, and they eat early. I heard them say that there used to be a lot of people, but now there are fewer people, and those who can move have moved to the city. Commuting is hard, especially in winter. In the past, it couldn't be done Buying and selling houses is now open."
"Yes, it has changed. In the eighties or so, I felt that there was no future in doing business, but now I am thinking about doing business. Where can I make money? In the past, everyone looked at their work, but now they have to look at their wallets. Now, in business, Popular. These fried dough sticks are good."
They are about a foot long, fried into maroon red, and straight. The oil for deep-frying the dough sticks is clear and has a golden luster with white flowers. The noodles are good and the oil is good.
The tofu poutine bucket next to it is steaming up, and the white, tender and oily tofu poutine trembles when touched, and the fragrance of tofu overflows.
"This is the one, it's made with brine." Dad Zhang smelled it and nodded.
"Buy some, there are so many people, Xiaohui and my brother can both eat them." Zhang Yanming went to queue to buy fried dough sticks.
Diaolu cake is the favorite of the little princess. If you want to buy it, you must buy the tendon cakes that Zhang Mama likes. You must have fried dough sticks, tofu, shredded brains and egg soup, tea eggs, salted duck eggs, shredded radish and pickles mixed in the bakery, and cabbage cores.
The restaurants here have pickles and side dishes for breakfast for free, so you can eat whatever you want.
Carrying the big and small packages back to the house, put the steamer on the stove and put the things in to warm. The furnace cakes should be crispy, not steamed. The baby will have to get up and fry them later.
The porridge is still cooking in the pot.
Ye Liang ate soy milk, fried dough sticks and tofu nao first.
The boss Zhang Yanjun got up from the sofa in a daze: "I could have slept for a while, but the fragrance made me hungry."
"You don't have work today? Go wash your face and eat." Dad Zhang asked.
"Go back at noon." The boss went to wash his face, ate the tendon cakes and walked to the table. The kitchen and the outer hall have been connected, so there is no need to go around the living room.
"I'll go to school to pay out the money when I get to work later. Just take it. It's probably a check."
"You don't need much money now. It's a waste if I take it. You can do it on your end first, and then you can get it out when the money comes in spring."
Zhang Yanming thought for a while and nodded: "That's okay. I should be able to turn it into tens of thousands in the next few months."
At this time, the market has risen and profit margins are shrinking.
Dad reached into his pocket and dug it out: "By the way, I forgot yesterday, I'll give this to you." He pulled out a bankbook and handed it to Zhang Yanming.
Zhang Yanming took it and opened it and looked at it. It was the money from selling the house, the two hundred thousand given by Sister Xiang.
"Your mother's name, the password is six sevens. I'll give you this money. Your mother still has some savings, but your mother said you can't touch that."
The old man said it's safe to keep tens of thousands in your hands.
Zhang Yanming nodded and put away his bankbook. He didn't say anything about using all the money to make money. If his parents hadn't taken the initiative, he wouldn't have mentioned the two hundred thousand.
When children take care of the elderly, companionship is one aspect, and having food, clothing, clothing, and a good life is another aspect. The most important thing is to make the elderly feel at ease and at ease.
After eating and cleaning up, Dad Zhang directed the two brothers to organize Mom's inventory, hang the samples on the wall, and put the counter in place. When Mom got up, the shop in front was already in place.
"I still need to get a sign. I'll find someone to do it this afternoon and hang it on the door." Zhang Yanming looked around and felt that it was almost done.
"If we weld a few more shelves to put them outside, don't we have to sell snacks or something? Why don't we make a few glass covers?"
"Okay, let's go to the street and do it together in the afternoon. It's just a little troublesome to carry it back and forth. How about making it out of wood? Put wheels on the bottom."
Dad Zhang went out and walked around on the platform at the door: "Your door is not in the middle. Can you use boards to build a small cabin here? Put a trap in the front and just close and lock it at night. This saves you having to move it back and forth."
Zhang Yanjun made a comparison: "Then the ditch in front of us needs to be fixed. We need to set up a few steps to go up. Others can buy something and then step into the ditch."
"It's so wide. You don't need to make the cabin too big. Just set up the counter so that one person can sit behind it. It's half empty." Dad Zhang took a few steps back and forth.
Zhang Yanming said: "It's okay to do it. It looks comfortable. Let's do it in the spring. Anyway, we need to build a toilet later, so we'll do it together."
"What are you going to do next?" Dad Zhang walked down the steps and walked toward the back: "I haven't seen anything yet."
The two brothers followed and went to the back, and Zhang Yanming opened the iron gate of the courtyard: "This small courtyard belongs to us. I plan to build the whole courtyard. The toilet will be built in this corner, so that I can take a bath at home in the future."
"The place is quite wide, and it can be built. Will people here be happy with it?" Dad Zhang pointed to Sister Wang's house.
"It's okay, her house actually occupies a part of our yard. Her side is the kitchen, so it's okay to block a window."
"Discuss it carefully with others and don't make things awkward with your neighbors."
Zhang Yanming nodded and agreed.
