My predecessor also wanted to be a good older brother who doted on his younger siblings.

He has known since he was a child that he is not favored by his parents, who only like his two younger brothers.

He thought that if he was nicer to his brother, then his parents would be nicer to him too.

When he was seven years old, his grandfather rewarded him with a rabbit leg because he was good at boxing. He was reluctant to eat it and took it home to eat with his younger brother.

As a result, he didn't even get the bones to eat.

The two younger brothers ate white-flour steamed buns with rabbit meat, while he could only nibble on cold steamed buns.

What the father said is that the younger brother is growing, and if grandpa gives him meat in the future, he must take it home to replenish the younger brother's body, otherwise he will be beaten to death.

Since then, he has never taken meat from home again, even if he was beaten.

The father in front of him beat him, but when he turned around, he took it out on his two younger brothers.

He would hit his younger brother as often as his father would hit him.

If dad beats me hard, he will beat me hard.

After the fight, hide in your grandfather's house or uncle's house.

Anyway, it doesn't matter whether he is in the family or not. He spent two-thirds of his childhood living at his grandfather's house and his uncle's house.

He was still stupid. When he was twelve years old, his father coaxed him into returning home and became the main labor force in the family.

Until he was sixteen years old, with the help of his grandfather, he joined the army.

After a while, four cold dishes, four hot dishes, and a pot of chrysanthemum white were served.

"Master, please use it slowly. The duck is roasted freshly, so you have to wait a while."

"Yeah!" Zhang Yan nodded and poured himself a glass of wine.

"Eat some cushion first, and then eat as hard as you can after the duck comes up!" Zhang Yan said to Xiangzi and the others, and then drank the wine by himself.

"Brother-in-law, are you unhappy? We don't eat ducks anymore, why don't you take the ducks back!" Little Carrot Head jumped off the stool, ran to Zhang Yan and tugged on his clothes, saying worriedly

.

Children are very sensitive, especially children like them who have been dependent on others since childhood, are even more sensitive.

Zhang Yan's emotional changes were all seen by them.

The little carrot head didn't understand why Zhang Yan was suddenly unhappy, and thought Zhang Yan felt sorry for them eating ducks.

"No! Why does my brother-in-law feel sorry for this little money? My brother-in-law has a lot of money, but you guys just eat duck every day and don't feel bad about it.

My brother-in-law just thought of his younger brothers and sisters at home."

"Do they want to eat the duck too?"

"Then next time, brother-in-law, please bring them to eat duck."

"They are all older than you, but they are not as sensible as our little carrot heads.

My brother-in-law is envious that you, the eldest sister, have a group of sensible brothers and sisters like you.

That's why my brother-in-law is sad." Zhang Yan smiled and touched Little Carrot Head's head and explained with a smile.

"Brother-in-law, you don't have to be sad in the future. You are the eldest sister's man now, and we will also be your brothers in the future. You should be happy.

Because you married a daughter-in-law, but you lost so many sensible brothers and sisters." Little Luobotou comforted Zhang Yan seriously.

Zhang Yan discovered that among these children, Little Carrot Head was the most cheerful and talkative. In future generations, this would be called Social Awesomeness Syndrome.

"Yes! If you tell me that, I should indeed be happy to have a wife with so many sensible brothers and sisters." Zhang Yan couldn't help but laugh.

The little carrot head also chuckled proudly.

I feel that I am so smart and worthy of being my eldest sister’s favorite brother.

Zhang Yan asked several children for soda drinks and asked them to pour them.

"Come, let's hold it together to celebrate that I have a group of sensible younger brothers and sisters." Zhang Yan smiled and clinked glasses with Xiangzi and the others one by one.

"Congratulations to the eldest sister for finding a good man. We have a good brother-in-law."

Zhang Yan chatted with a few children while eating, which was quite interesting.

After waiting for a while, the master pushed the duck over.

"Master, how do you eat?"

“Let’s film!

Get a plate of sugar.

Duck rack, one to make soup, and the other two to take away."

There are many things to pay attention to when eating Beijing roast duck. For example, Zhang Yan mentioned that the plate of sugar on the plate is specially used to eat the duck skin.

The skin of the roast duck is crispy and delicious, and it is even sweeter when dipped in sugar. It is especially popular with women and children.

The most common way to eat it is to use chopsticks to pick up a little sweet noodle sauce, spread it on the lotus leaf cake, put a few roast duck slices on top, put a few green onion strips, cucumber strips or radish strips, roll up the lotus leaf cake, and eat it in one bite

, mouth full of oil.

Another way to eat it is to add mashed garlic and soy sauce and eat it with spring pancakes rolled in radish strips.

Competition in Beijing is fierce, and in order to cater to the desire of the rich and powerful to compete, each restaurant has put a lot of effort into how to eat.

For example, for this piece of duck, a duck needs to be cut into one hundred and eight pieces, no more than one piece, no less than one piece, and each piece must be translucent.

This is a great test of the master's knife skills.

Moreover, these pieces of duck are all taken in front of customers to show the skill of the roast duck master in the store.

The performance-style duck piece is very attractive.

The first few people were attracted by the radish, and they forgot to eat the fragrant duck.

"Eat quickly! This duck skin is dipped in sugar and is very sweet." Zhang Yan greeted Little Carrot Head and others to start eating.

Zhang Yan didn't eat any of the three ducks, and they all went into the stomachs of the six children.

The six people eating all held their stomachs and leaned on their chairs, unwilling to move.

After they finished eating, Zhang Yan finished his wine, paid the bill, and walked out of Quanjude carrying two ducks.

"I just ate a lot. I need to digest my food. You have to push the cart for me all the way from here to your school. Is there no problem?"

"No problem!" The six children, who had just eaten and drank enough, were in high spirits and shouted one after another and started pushing Zhang Yan's cart.

If Zhang Yan hadn't kept pressing down, several people could have pushed the car into the air.

In the middle, Zhang Yan took a detour to Luban Hutong and bought six rosewood boxes.

Six boxes were stacked on the cart, and there was no room to sit on them.

The seven people just returned to No. 36 Qianmao Hutong, shouting and crowding.

Zhang Yan didn't let Xiangzi and the others move the boxes home. When they got there, he chased them and asked them to go back to school.

This is a rosewood box. Each one is not light. Xiangzi and the others are still small and cannot move it.

"Xiao Zhang, I bought so many boxes again!"

"Sister Ma, have you eaten?

I have a lot of stuff at home and no space to put it, so I can only buy a few old boxes." Zhang Yan walked into the courtyard with a box in his arms and greeted Sister Ma at the same time.

"This is how we live our lives. Don't worry about old boxes. These look good." Upon hearing that it was an old box, Sister Ma showed a satisfied smile on her face.

We are used to living a hard life and cannot bear to see young people spending money lavishly.

"Yes! This box is made of solid materials and only costs fifteen yuan each." Zhang Yan replied with a smile.

When she heard that an old box cost fifteen yuan, the smile on Sister Ma's face disappeared immediately.

I cried out in my heart, what a prodigal son!

This young man just doesn't know how to live, and he can buy a new cabinet for fifteen yuan.

Originally, the box looked good, and she planned to ask if there were any old boxes like this left, and she would also buy two and put them in there.

Sister Ma couldn't help but shake her head, thinking that after a few days, she could talk to Tong Mei properly, but she couldn't let a man spend money like this.

This way of spending money is not enough even if you have gold and silver.

However, in front of Zhang Yan, Sister Ma didn't say much else. She was getting married today, so there was no need to say those annoying words.

Because he was labeled a prodigal, no one from the aunts or sisters-in-law in the courtyard came to help him move the boxes.

Zhang Yan was also happy to be pure.

There are just six boxes on the left and right, and it's just six trips back and forth.

Zhang Yan moved the box into the house, stuffed all the unused bedding and quilt tops into the box, and then placed them against the corner.

He also collected Tong Mei's original bedding and stuffed them into the box.

Put the new bedding rewarded by the system on the quilt and spread it out.
