Mother Wei, I think this store is fine!They are all so kind and make us feel comfortable. Who doesn't like to come?Look, Xiaosi'er's mother's two hands, whether the meat is cut well or not, finally cut it out, and there is no delay!Jin Zhi didn't favor you, she still gave you a piece of fat.

Mother Wei and Aunt Wang are really good at it!As soon as the man wearing glasses stretched out his hand, the second aunt said: Old lady, be careful that the knife cut your hand!Well, if one person takes all the good things away, then don’t care about others?Outrageous!

Yu Zhifang (runs out): Aunt Wei, I forgot to tell you: this kind of fish is best eaten braised in soy sauce! Mother Wei, I know!Zhifang, hurry up and go! Hello Yu Zhifang!I won't send you off, aunt!
