After Stealing a Retired Officer's Child, I Won Big in the 70s

35-year-old Jiang Li was unmarried and childless, running her own small company with an annual income of several million, living a wonderful life.

19-year-old Jiang Li was pretty but brainles...

Chapter 197 Newly Bought Pressure Cooker

Jiang Li spent the entire afternoon with the two children. This quiet and peaceful parent-child time gave people a feeling of peace and tranquility.

If only I could stay with them like this forever.

After feeding the two children, Jiang Li got up to cook. She had been away from home for a while and hadn't cooked for her uncle and brother for a long time.

Both men in the family like the food she cooks, and Jiang Li also likes to cook.

She likes to cook, and she likes to cook for her loving family.

Shen Changan bought a lot of things, and all of them were placed in different places in the house by his younger brother.

All the food is placed in the kitchen. My uncle made a new cupboard. The cupboard has been redesigned and is divided into two layers, with the bottom layer being used specifically for storing things.

Things like rice, glutinous rice, and flour are all put at the bottom, and bowls, chopsticks, and some seasonings are placed on top.

Jiang Li opened the brand new cupboard and saw that everything was arranged in categories, and he immediately felt in a good mood.

She actually has a bit of obsessive-compulsive disorder, especially when it comes to things used in cooking, she likes them to be arranged neatly.

My younger brother is indeed a top student. His brain is different from that of ordinary people.

Many things do not need to be explained, he can do them well according to his own ideas.

Jiang Li happily washed and cut vegetables, washed rice and cooked. Shen Changan bought a lot of things, including several kilograms of various meats, various staple vegetables, and various seasonings. He didn't miss a single one.

Jiang Li opened the bag of seasonings. Shen Chang's security department had bought several of all the seasonings currently on the market.

He had only had a few meals at her home, but he already knew her preferences clearly.

Not only that, Shen Changan got a pressure cooker from somewhere.

Although my country invented the first pressure cooker in 1964, it was not popularized until the 1970s.

At that time, pressure cookers were basically made of all-aluminum, and they were not widely circulated on the market. Even if you had money, it was difficult to buy them.

It only took Shen Changan so much time to get such a good pressure cooker.

When the baby is a little older, you should start giving them complementary foods. Babies usually start to grow teeth when they are five or six months old, but they can usually start eating complementary foods at 3 to 4 months.

Without the help of a pressure cooker, it would take a long time to make a little bit of food each time relying solely on the big pot at home.

Jiang Li also wanted to get another stove, which would not only allow him to use it for cooking but also to assist in making pastries.

It is especially convenient to make some complementary food for children.

When there was no pressure cooker, Jiang Li used the most primitive method to cook.

Every time she cooks meat, she has to prolong the cooking time if she wants it to be soft and tender. Now that she has a pressure cooker, she can just throw a few pieces of meat into the pot, put the pot on the stove and light the fire to press it.

The firewood burned too fiercely, and the pressure cooker, which was bright and clear just now, quickly turned pitch black.

After a while, the water in the pot boiled, and the steam valve of the pressure cooker began to rotate, making a "tickling" sound.

The sound was rhythmic at first, but then it became louder and louder.

Jiang Yi, who was reading and doing homework in the room, heard the noise in the kitchen. He was so scared that he quickly put down his things and came to check the situation.

My uncle was originally immersed in the joy of knitting, but when he heard a loud noise coming from the kitchen, he quickly put down his work and came to check.

The two people rushed over, but found nothing happened.

The source of the sound was the strangely shaped small pot on the stove.

"Xiao Li, what is that thing? Why is it making such a loud noise? I thought it was going to explode!"

Because pressure cookers were not yet popular and few people used them in the village in the 1970s, Zhang Guocai had never seen this thing in his life.

It would have been fine if this thing was working quietly, but it actually made such a loud noise that it really scared him.

"This is a pressure cooker. It was brought here by your teacher Shen. This is my first time using it too."

"How dare you use something this dangerous when you've never used it before? What if it explodes?"

"Sister, I was scared too. This thing keeps making this buzzing noise. What if it explodes? You have to be careful."

Jiang Yi was also very nervous. These were his only two relatives. If something happened to his sister, he wouldn't know what to do.

After hearing his niece's explanation, Zhang Guocai widened his eyes in surprise. Although he stood still, he couldn't help but lean back, obviously afraid of this strange thing.

"Teacher Shen told me how to use it. The pressure cooker makes noises when in use because of the huge pressure built up inside. The valve on top is helping to release the air, so that's why there's such a loud noise."

"It's perfectly normal for a pressure cooker to make this kind of noise. If there's no sound during use, it's definitely because the valve is blocked. In this case, you must remove the pressure cooker immediately, otherwise it will explode!"

In order to dispel their doubts and make them feel less afraid, Jiang Li patiently explained to them the usage and some details of the pressure cooker.

"So that's how it is."

Jiang Yi is already a junior high school student and has learned a lot of knowledge.

After his sister's explanation, his mind worked at high speed and he quickly understood the principle.

Zhang Guocai was a little slow to realize it, but after standing there and observing for a long time, he found that the thing was just calling out, and it really didn't cause any harm.

And as time went on, the air was filled with the aroma of real meat, which seemed to be emitted from the white gas discharged from that valve.

Zhang Guocai sniffed and took a deep breath of the aroma. He was very tired after working all day, and now when he smelled the aroma of meat, his appetite was instantly aroused.

"What's in the pot? Why does it smell so good?"

While Zhang Guocai was talking, he kept breathing in air through his nose, as if he would be full if he took in a little more fragrance.

"There are ribs and meat. I stewed them all in one pot and will fry them later."

"It seems that the meal tonight will be very sumptuous."

When Jiang Yi heard that there was delicious food again, he immediately smiled with joy.

Whenever my sister comes back, I always find ways to make delicious food for them.

My sister is a good cook and Jiang Yi's mouth is watering just thinking about it.

"Sister, do you need any help? Let me help you."

Jiang Yi rolled up his sleeves and prepared to work. With his help, his sister could prepare dinner quickly.

"The pressure cooker makes a lot of noise when it's working. Aren't you scared now?"

Jiang Li deliberately teased his brother. Jiang Yi scratched his head and said shyly: "I'm not afraid anymore. I want to protect my sister. If my sister is not afraid, I will be even less afraid!"
