Using the available space, clean and gut the sea bass, marinate it briefly with seasonings, and slice the two large blackfish into thin slices and arrange them on a plate.

Just as we were about to start a fire, the little girls rushed back, shouting and yelling.

"Brother, brother, Mother's having an argument with someone at the supply and marketing cooperative!"

Chang Kun was taken aback. He put the fish on the stove, got up, and left, asking, "What happened? Who is Mother arguing with?"

Chang Qing gestured excitedly, her little mouth vividly describing, "As soon as we arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative, Xiu'er started clamoring for iced water..."

"Then Xiao Mu and I wanted to drink some too, so we asked Mom to get us a melted popsicle."

"Stop! Stop! I told you to tell me who Mom was arguing with, why did you say something about popsicles?!"

Chang Qing pouted: "Isn't this to explain things to you, brother? Mom had an argument with a shopkeeper. The shopkeeper said Mom didn't have time to sell him anything, but she had time to get us popsicles and water..."

Chang Kun paused, stopping in his tracks as he stepped out the door to help. He asked carefully, "So, Mother is going to argue with them herself?"

Chang Mu quickly answered, "When we ran back, Sister Wang and Brother Liu rushed out. Sister Wang was not only cursing at that person, but Brother Liu even rolled up his sleeves, ready to hit him!"

"Big brother, let's hurry and go see, they'll all be finished arguing if we're too late!"

Chang Kun: ...

These little girls really love to stir up trouble.

This is clearly a bad habit of the supply and marketing cooperative. The sales staff ignored the customers, which made the customers upset and they started arguing.

In places like supply and marketing cooperatives, this kind of scene plays out every day. What Chang Kun didn't expect was that his mother had only been working at the cooperative for a month or two and had already learned this trick.

The environment really does influence people!

"Go, all of you, go home! What are you watching?" Chang Kun shooed the girls back home.

With so many people in the supply and marketing cooperative, whether they argue or fight, they are always the ones bullying others; there's no need to worry about them suffering losses.

Chang Qing sighed, "We only thought of calling for our elder brother because we wanted to see some excitement, but you don't appreciate our kindness!"

Seeing her acting like a little adult, Chang Kun slapped her on the forehead: "Why do you enjoy watching people argue so much, little kid? Where did you learn that habit!"

"Hmph! Isn't everyone at the supply and marketing cooperative like this, whether it's the 'Mother' or Brother Liu and Sister Wang? Why did you hit me, brother! I want to work at the supply and marketing cooperative too, chatting all day long, and even cursing at people I don't like. How fun!"

Chang Mu nodded in agreement: "Yes, and you can drink popsicles and drink iced water as much as you want, and eat peach shortbread as much as you want!"

Chang Kun was speechless. These two little trees had grown crooked; they were either thinking of freeloading or gossiping and bullying people.

However, what they said is actually true. At least the position of sales clerk in the supply and marketing cooperative could remain comfortable for more than ten or twenty years until the post-80s reform and opening up, when they finally fell from their pedestal.

At this time, my mother was still in her prime, so these two girls shouldn't even think about taking over my position.

We need to get them back to school sooner; at least with Cheng Min watching over them, their values ​​won't be too bad.

Seeing that her elder brother's expression was a bit unpleasant, as if he was unhappy with Xiaoqing and Xiaomu's idea of ​​going to the supply and marketing cooperative, Chang Xiu said crisply, "Brother, I don't want to work at the supply and marketing cooperative."

"Oh? What will Xiao Xiu'er want to be when she grows up?"

"When I grow up and become a child again, whatever I want to eat, my older brother will conjure it up for me!"

Chang Kun covered his face with his hands, utterly exasperated by his three eccentric younger sisters.

Chang Qing and Chang Mu suddenly realized, "That's right, it's better to be a child. Anyway, our big brother can conjure up anything, whether it's delicious food or fun toys."

"Hurry up and start the fire, steam the sea bass!" Chang Kun didn't want to talk to them anymore; he felt so tired.

Even when it comes to starting the fire, the three little girls fight over it.

There wasn't enough firewood after moving to the city, but luckily Director Wang and Yan Luji delivered several tons of coal on the day of the move, enough to last until the New Year.

The little girls had never burned coal at home before, so they were quite excited and started a fire with giggles and laughter.

The sea bass had just been steamed when my mother came home.

"Mother, Mother, did you chase that person away?"

The three girls rushed to their mother's side, tilting their little heads up to ask about the battle.

Liu Meifen gave an awkward smile: "What do you mean by hitting someone? We didn't hit anyone!"

"When we were running, we saw Brother Liu rolling up his sleeves. Mom, tell me, did they win or not?"

Chang Kun turned to look at his mother, thinking to himself, "It's only because performance isn't assessed these days, otherwise the supply and marketing cooperative would have gone bankrupt long ago, given its business acumen."

Liu Meifen retorted sternly, "I told you we didn't hit anyone, and you still keep asking! We just had a little argument!"

The sales clerks at the supply and marketing cooperative would argue with people every few days, but it just so happened that the little girls saw it today.

Afraid of setting a bad example for the little girl, she quickly changed the subject: "Son, is this sea bass you steamed today? It smells delicious, you must have used a lot of oil."

Chang Kun chuckled: "Mom, we don't lack this little bit of oil. The pork fat I brought back last time, we still have several jars of oil left after rendering it."

Liu Meifen pursed her lips. Her son was capable and earned a lot; she just wasn't used to eating so well.

At dinner, the family gathered around the stove. A little more than half a pot of water was heated in the pot, and the Donglaishun broth was melting in it, turning a bright red color and emitting a fragrant and spicy aroma.

The thinly sliced ​​blackfish is so translucent that you can see the silhouette of the person opposite you through it.

Fish slices can be eaten after being dipped in the pot for less than five seconds.

"Son, who did you have prepare this fish? It's sliced ​​so thinly, your knife skills are amazing!" Liu Meifen wasn't much of a cook, but she was full of admiration for the person who was so good at cooking.

Chang Kun smiled faintly and did not answer.

He sliced ​​the fish into thin slices using spatial power within the space. Not to mention slicing it as thin as paper, even slicing it down to 5 nanometers would be a piece of cake for him!

The parents quickly scalded the fish slices and fed them to Xiaoqing and Xiaomu, while Changkun fed Xiuer.

The three little girls were like baby swallows in their nest in spring, their little mouths agape, eagerly waiting to be fed.

The broth at Donglaishun looks bright red, but it's only slightly spicy and has a unique aroma. The little girls ate it until their lips turned bright red, and they kept hissing and sucking in air.

"How wonderful it would be to have some iced water right now! It would be so refreshing!" Chang Qing thought to himself, tilting his head.

My mother smacked her on the head: "Drinking it at the supply and marketing cooperative means the popsicles melt and you don't have to pay for them, but if you want to take them home, you have to pay!"

"I already knew, Mother. I was just saying it!"

After feeding the three little girls until they were half full, and letting them eat the sea bass themselves, Chang Kun and his parents began to eat on their own.

After just one bite, Chang Dashan exclaimed, "Wow, Xiao Kun is really clever! I don't know how he came up with this idea—fish can be eaten like this! It's so fresh, tender, and fragrant!"

Liu Meifen raised her eyebrows smugly: "Of course, don't you even know whose son Xiao Kun is?"

Chang Dashan curled his lip and muttered to himself, "Forget it, you don't even know as many words as I do. Xiao Kun is smart because he's like me."
