Chapter 182 The Unthinkable

Aunt Jiang nodded again and again, then she remembered and turned to go to the kitchen. While going, she said, "I'm going to cook some more meat."

She didn't know that Jiang Xue came back, and she didn't cook any meat.

Jiang Xue only looked at the dining table at this time, and saw that there was no decent piece of meat on the dish and soup, and she couldn't help being a little speechless.

"Godmother, didn't I say it all, don't save on rations, you should eat..." As she spoke, she followed into the kitchen.

Aunt Jiang smiled: "I can't save it, I've been eating."

"It's just that you're not here, so you're too lazy to do more."

Can Jiang Xue still believe it?

It is obvious that he is reluctant to eat meat.

It is estimated that Aunt Jiang also knew that this reason was untenable, and added: "I have been eating meat all the time, but I didn't cook any meat today, and it was also to clear the stomach."

Jiang Xue knew how many things she had left behind when she left, she flipped through them a bit, and looked at Aunt Jiang with helplessness.

"Uh..." Aunt Jiang looked at it, and quickly said: "It's really meat. Girl, if you don't believe me, ask Sanwa."

Jiang Dabao also followed into the kitchen, and when he heard this, he also nodded: "Auntie, I testify that there are people who eat meat."

Jiang Xue: "..." Of course there are, but in less than half a month, I have consumed less than two catties of meat, only two salted fish, and three or four taels of bacon.

For half a month, the two of them consume so little, and it is estimated that they may not be able to eat a decent meal in a day.

Just as Mrs. Jiang hooked the food basket from under the eaves, Jiang Xue took it and said, "Mother, let me do it."

In fact, consuming so much in half a month is already a good standard of food in other people's homes, but Jiang Xue is not from this world after all.

She also likes to eat meat, and cooking a meal, not to mention fish, requires about one catty of meat at a time, and even two catties of meat at a time for braised pork. Aunt Jiang is so frugal, of course she will not get used to it.

The 'bought' pork belly was barely moved, and the sides were cut a little bit. Jiang Xue was no stranger to it, and grabbed the pork belly with a knife and cut off a large piece, weighing about three catties.

"Let's just make braised pork. I'll make more. If you can't finish it, you can use it as simmered noodles to eat tomorrow."

Aunt Jiang nodded hurriedly: "Okay, I'll listen to you."

It's time for dinner, and I want to make another dish of braised pork. Naturally, I have to work together. Jiang Dabao helps to light the fire as usual.

Jiang Xue roasted the skin of the pork belly, and let Lu add water to the pot to cook for 10 minutes. At this time, she happened to slice the onion, ginger and garlic.

Cook for 10 minutes, insert it with chopsticks, if it can be directly inserted into the meat, it will be taken out.

Cool the pork belly with cold water, then cut into two centimeter cubes. When everything is ready, add salad oil to the pot and heat it until it is fully cooked, then add the cut meat and stir-fry over high heat.

Pork belly has three layers of fat, some of the oil from the stir-fry is poured out, and the remaining amount is continued to stir-fry, adding onion, ginger, garlic, fragrant leaves and star anise and an appropriate amount of cooking wine.

When Jiang Xue cooks, seasoning and spices are essential. Even in the simplest soup, she will add pepper to enhance the taste.

Jiang Dabao propped his head up and watched Jiang Xue quickly cook the braised pork, his eyes were full of light, aunt is so amazing.

After the pork belly is colored, add submerged hot water, add some rock sugar, add monosodium glutamate, salt, etc., add light soy sauce and dark soy sauce, cover and cook for 15 minutes, and the juice will be collected on high heat.

As soon as the fragrance came out, Jiang Dabao couldn't help salivating.

When Jiang Xue saw it, she looked at Aunt Jiang subconsciously, and said in her eyes, "Godmother, look, I'm starving Dabao."

Aunt Jiang's face turned red all of a sudden, and she murmured, "Someone really ate meat."

Jiang Dabao also seemed to feel that this was not good for him, so he blushed and hurriedly explained: "Auntie, it's because Auntie's cooking is so delicious."

"Okay." Jiang Xue said with a smile: "My aunt is back, and I will prepare delicious food for Dabao every day from now on."

When Jiang Xue was making braised pork, Mrs. Jiang conveniently put the fried cabbage and soup with lard dregs on the stove to warm up. Now the braised pork is served on the table, and the vegetables and soup on the stove are also served.

After going out for so long, of course Jiang Xue wanted to say something, Aunt Jiang also told Jiang Xue that Lu Yan had come to find her.

Lu Yan came to look for him?

Jiang Xue was a little surprised, but knowing what Lu Yan didn't say about it, and thinking about what he didn't say when he met Lu Yan in the provincial capital, he didn't take it to heart.

"Godmother, I went to Shanghai this time. The train station there is very big, and the first department store is full of people, and there are many types of goods."

"Everyone there wears very fashionable clothes. I saw a lot of old-fashioned clothes that have been improved, and they look pretty good. When I find time to talk to the godmother, I think the godmother will definitely do it."

"... There is a tall building with about [-] floors. You can go up by a straight ladder. It's very tall..."

Aunt Jiang and Jiang Dabao listened with surprise in their eyes, 20 floors?

How high must that be.

Jiang Xue probably also knew that the two were curious, so she started to introduce: "If the average floor is 70 meters, the [-]th floor is [-] meters..."

Jiang Dabao exclaimed, "It's so tall."

"That's right." Jiang Xue nodded, and said, "When there is a chance in the future, my aunt will take my godmother and Dabao to have a look."

"Just take Dabao if you have a chance."

Aunt Jiang smiled and said, "I'm an old woman, so there's no need to join in the fun."

It costs a lot of money to go out, why should she waste this money as an old woman.

Jiang Xue: "Let's go together! No matter how old or young, the godmother always wants to do this. Besides, the godmother is not old."

"By the way, I bought a lot of things, and I took the passing car, and it will arrive in two days."

As she said that, Jiang Xue began to describe the grandeur and prosperity of Shanghai to the two of them: "Trams are the same as trains, they run along the tracks. They are about the same size as minibuses, but lighter..."

"The old ladies over there are all dressed smartly, godmother, you are not too old, you have to dress smartly, I bought clothes for you and Dabao..."

"The cinema is air-conditioned..."

When Jiang Xue said this, Jiang Dabao was curious: "Auntie, it's winter now, it's so cold, wouldn't it be freezing if you blow on the air conditioner?"

Jiang Xue had mentioned air conditioning before, so Jiang Dabao knew what it was.

"Silly Sanba, I'm sure it won't open when it's cold." Aunt Jiang laughed.

Jiang Xue also nodded with a smile: "Yes, this one is opened in the hot summer. When someone blows it, it's cool, and it won't make you sweat."

She didn't say that she went to the bar for two drinks, otherwise Aunt Jiang would be worried, Jiang Xue didn't want to be blamed.

"There will be boats sailing back and forth on the Bund, and the long beeps will be loud and fun..."

Jiang Xue said, her eyes lit up, and she said with a smile: "The meat over there is also rationed like ours, that is, there are not many restrictions on seafood, such as fish, shrimp and crab, it is no problem to buy a few dozen catties."

(There is something that I didn't have time to deal with, so I apologize to everyone. The normal update will resume tomorrow.)
