Chapter 2

At eleven o'clock at night, the night market gradually dispersed. After the last customer left the stall with a satisfied look, Ye Chui tidied up the charcoal grill and the simple cooler used to preserve the meat, loaded these items onto his old tricycle, and left the night market. After walking two blocks, Ye Chui arrived at an old residential area, parked the tricycle under an apartment building, and dragged his somewhat weary body back to the small apartment he rented.

This was a small one-bedroom, one-living room apartment, no more than forty square meters. When Ye Chui took out the key to open the door, he deliberately slowed down his movements, not wanting to wake up his two younger sisters.

Speaking of these two younger sisters, they actually had no blood relation to Ye Chui. He had met them at an orphanage, and after the orphanage went bankrupt, the two girls were left without support. Ye Chui then took on the responsibility of raising them.

The older of the two sisters was sixteen years old, named An Jing, and was in high school. As her name suggested, she was a sensible and quiet girl. The younger one was only seven years old, in the second grade of elementary school, named Wang Shiyu, and was a lively and mischievous child. Of course, children raised in such an environment were also quite sensible.

Ye Chui was not a saint. After being reborn, the two sisters were just acquaintances to him, and he had no particular attachment to them. He could have left them behind and gone on his own, but every time he had such thoughts, a strong sense of attachment would arise, as if the original Ye Chui's feelings were still lingering. Moreover, the two sisters were indeed cute and sensible. After a few days of living together, Ye Chui began to treat them sincerely.

Reborn into this life, having two adorable younger sisters was not a bad thing.

Upon returning home, Ye Chui slowed his steps to avoid waking the two sisters. However, when he quietly turned on the fluorescent light in the room, he saw An Jing lying on the sofa in the living room, holding a textbook in her hand. She had clearly fallen asleep while waiting for Ye Chui to return.

This one-bedroom, one-living room apartment had the bedroom given to the two sisters, while Ye Chui usually slept on the sofa in the living room.

The weather was rather stuffy and hot, and An Jing was only wearing a white T-shirt. She looked like a beauty in the making, with a delicate and adorable face, and her figure was quietly developing. The sight of her lying on the sofa was quite alluring, causing Ye Chui to momentarily lose his composure. He quickly shook his head, feeling a bit uneasy. While he could handle the younger Wang Shiyu, the increasingly attractive An Jing often made him feel a bit out of control... It was truly a dilemma.

"Ah, big brother, you're back!" Hearing the sound of the door closing, An Jing opened her eyes and eagerly climbed off the sofa, rubbing her slightly sleepy eyes and moving close to Ye Chui. "Big brother, you must be very tired after working all night. I've boiled some hot water, let me help you wash your feet."

"I can do it myself..." Ye Chui hurriedly said. The sister was indeed sensible, but he felt embarrassed about letting her wash his feet. Seeing An Jing bring the foot basin and pour hot water, he quickly took the basin from her. "You have to get up early for school tomorrow, go to bed quickly."

An Jing, however, insisted and only went back to the bedroom after Ye Chui pretended to be angry.

After washing his feet and doing a quick wash, Ye Chui lay down on the sofa, looking at the faint moonlight filtering through the window. For a while, he had no intention of sleeping.

He thought about the past half month since his rebirth. He had now completely adapted to this world. Besides taking care of the two sisters, he had set his life goals. The barbecue stall was just the first step. He planned to save money and open his own restaurant, gradually climbing back to the peak of his culinary career, just as he had in his previous life.

Of course, there was also the luxurious and exquisite Manchu-Han Imperial Feast, which he wanted to bring back to this world!

In a daze, Ye Chui seemed to be back at the Manchu-Han Imperial Feast he had hosted half a month ago. Three hundred and twenty-eight dishes of various kinds were served one after another. The guests, whether they were solemn and dignified political figures or usually graceful and elegant celebrities, were completely stripped of their pretenses, revealing their most primitive instincts.

Even two usually radiant celebrities almost came to blows over a dish...

When he woke up, Ye Chui opened his eyes to see a pair of large, dark eyes staring at him, the little face showing a playful expression, and the lips curled into a gentle smile. The young voice greeted him, "Big brother, you're awake."

"Shiyu..." This girl was naturally the other younger sister, Wang Shiyu. In his previous life, Ye Chui had no siblings, and seeing Wang Shiyu's cute face upon waking felt quite endearing. He sat up on the sofa, rubbed his face, and turned to ask Wang Shiyu, "What time is it?"

"It's already 7:30." Wang Shiyu blinked her eyes and sat down next to Ye Chui. "Big brother, I didn't sleep in today, was I good?"

"Alright, Shiyu, you were very good." Ye Chui smiled and affectionately ruffled the little girl's head.

Suddenly, An Jing poked her head out from the kitchen. Seeing Ye Chui talking to Wang Shiyu, she called out in a slightly angry tone, "Shiyu, didn't I just tell you that big brother works very hard at night and not to wake him up?"

"I didn't wake big brother, he woke up on his own." Wang Shiyu said in a cute and innocent manner, looking up at Ye Chui. "Right, big brother?"

"Yes, I woke up on my own." Ye Chui smiled, noticing the apron An Jing was wearing, he knew she was preparing breakfast. Originally, he used to make breakfast, but An Jing was very sensible and wanted to let Ye Chui sleep longer, so she took the initiative to make it and specifically told Wang Shiyu not to wake him up... Where could he find such a sensible sister?

Since Ye Chui was already awake, he didn't want to let his sister continue cooking. He washed his face and walked into the kitchen. "I'll make breakfast, you go help Shiyu comb her hair, or we'll be late."

An Jing nodded and went to help Wang Shiyu comb her hair. After finishing, she tied Wang Shiyu's hair into two neat pigtails. By then, Ye Chui had already prepared a simple breakfast: millet porridge, homemade pickles, and steamed buns, which tasted particularly sweet.

While eating, Wang Shiyu suddenly remembered something and said with a proud look, "Big brother, we had a test at school yesterday, and I got a perfect score."

"Really?" Ye Chui's face lit up with joy. "That's great, I'll make a big meal for lunch, okay?"

"Okay!" Wang Shiyu immediately clapped her hands, delighted. She loved the big meals her big brother made. An Jing also showed an expectant expression but added curiously, "Big brother, I've noticed you've changed a lot recently. Your cooking seems to have improved a lot."

Hearing this, Ye Chui was slightly taken aback and quickly explained, "Maybe it's because I've been studying more recently. I plan to open my own restaurant in the future."

"Then Shiyu and I will definitely help you, big brother." An Jing smiled. She was a bit puzzled by the changes in Ye Chui but didn't have any major doubts, as he was still the same big brother.

Seeing that An Jing had no suspicions, Ye Chui felt relieved. He had no intention of letting anyone know about his rebirth.

After a routine breakfast, Ye Chui sent the two sisters out. Wang Shiyu, still remembering the big meal for lunch, confirmed it with Ye Chui before skipping away. The school the two sisters attended was an integrated elementary, middle, and high school, not far from here, so Ye Chui didn't have to worry about picking them up.

After sending them off, Ye Chui tidied up the room and pushed his small tricycle to the nearby market to start preparing the ingredients for the night stall.

Oh, and the big meal he promised Wang Shiyu.

But, what kind of big meal should he make?
