The next day, just as the sky was turning pale, everyone from the restaurant—from the manager down to the dish-washing handymen—arrived at Hehua Village and set to work. Leng Zhan and Leng Wu also woke up early and drove the cart to the market to pick up the items ordered the day before. Meanwhile, vegetable farmers delivering produce from various places lined up for Gu Zhentang to inspect and settle the payments.
A little later, A-Ran and Chu Hengyuan woke up as well. Stepping out into the courtyard, the two of them found it once again surrounded by a circle of little kids. Knowing that Sister A-Ran was going to treat them to meat again today, they had gathered here bright and early after finishing breakfast. Although the adults at home had repeatedly warned them that important people had come to Sister A-Ran's place and they shouldn't go and disturb her, children rarely cared about such things.
"Sister A-Ran! Sister A-Ran!" Seeing A-Ran come out, the children cheered with joy, each shouting louder than the last.
