Jiang Zao stood frozen in place as if his acupuncture points had been pressed.
"Auntie, why are you here?"
Gu Xiufang held up the aluminum lunch box in her hand: "My granddaughter had a fever yesterday and had no appetite. She wanted to eat buns this morning. I just bought them."
"Is this you?"
Gu Xiufang looked at Sun Ligen curiously. Judging from his age, he looked like Erya's father.
But she felt that the two people's noses and eyes were completely different, and it would be embarrassing for everyone if she guessed the wrong identity.
Jiang Zao smiled and introduced: "He is my master Sun Ligen. Master, this is an aunt I know, her surname is Gu."
Sun Ligen greeted Gu Xiufang with a smile and gestured to go to the front to wait for Jiang Zao.
After he left, Gu Xiufang walked over to Jiang Zao, took Jiang Zao's hand and asked about his well-being: "Are you here to visit relatives?"
Jiang Zao's expression returned to normal: "It's Mr. Cheng's birthday, and the master taught me how to make flower buns."
They all live in this area, and Gu Xiufang knows the Cheng family.
Mr. Cheng is also an old friend of her father-in-law.
The old man celebrated his 80th birthday with a grand ceremony. Cheng's daughter-in-law knew him and had a good relationship with him. She had told her long ago that she had invited a very famous pastry chef to make flower buns, which would be the biggest attraction of the birthday party.
The fact that Erya was brought out by Master Bai’an proves that she is a very outstanding comrade!
In an instant, Jiang Zao was thrown far away.
Gu Xiufang felt very unbalanced. There was a good girl right in front of her, but her son insisted on finding a wicked woman as his daughter-in-law.
She looked at Jiang Zao regretfully: "My family will also go over to celebrate your birthday later. I will come to find you then."
At the same time, a bold idea came to his mind. Shuisheng also wanted to come and celebrate Mr. Cheng’s birthday. He would have the chance to introduce him to Erya!
Gu Xiufang made up her mind and said lovingly, "Go and get busy. I won't waste your time."
Jiang Zao was also afraid of wasting time: "Okay."
She caught up with Sun Ligen in a few steps and followed her master to Cheng's home.
Gu Xiufang returned home with the buns, changed into slippers and walked in, and saw a familiar figure on the sofa.
He taunted her, "You still remember to come back? I thought you were seduced by the Jiang family's vixen and forgot the way home."
Xiao Shuisheng sat on the sofa. He was going to Cheng's home to celebrate his birthday. He specially changed into a newly made white shirt and black trousers. The clothes seemed to be tailor-made for him, outlining his upright figure perfectly.
Xiao Shuisheng was willing to go home only after knowing that Zao was the chosen daughter-in-law in her mother's eyes.
only……
He underestimated the dramatic effect of the incident.
Xiao Shuisheng suppressed his smile and said, "When you see Zao'er, you will like her."
Gu Xiufang's eyes widened immediately. "Bullshit! If I could like Liu Chunhua's daughter, I would go to the production team and dig the ground with my chin! I would go and tend the pigs, cattle, and sheep, and shovel the pig food!"
Crazy, she would like ginger dates!
After delivering the buns to Xiangdi, Gu Xiufang came out and sat on the other end of the sofa.
As soon as I sat down, I heard my second son, whom I hadn't seen for a long time, say with a smile, "Be careful, you might dislocate your jaw."
Xiao Shuisheng was really looking forward to his mother's reaction when she saw Zao'er.
Gu Xiufang frowned, always feeling that the brat had bad intentions.
"Well, well, if you have nothing to do, go to your Grandpa Cheng's house and help him out. Don't just stand around at home like a log."
Xiao Shuisheng noticed that her mother's eager attitude was a little strange: "Come over after breakfast."
The Cheng family vacated two kitchens.
The big kitchen was handed over to the chef of the state-owned restaurant and his apprentices to prepare the dishes for the banquet. Old Master Cheng did not like extravagance, so he only set up six tables. Early in the morning, the eggplants, beans, peppers, tofu, fish and meat ordered from the nearby production team were delivered.
Many production teams would grow vegetables and grain and sell them through public channels. When an old veteran like Mr. Cheng, who had made great contributions, celebrated his birthday, the local street office would find ways to help order vegetables and make things more convenient.
The small kitchen was left for Sun Ligen and Jiang Zao to make flower buns.
The backyard was already bustling with activity. A burly bald man in a short-sleeved shirt was directing Wang Meili and Jiang Shan in the yard: "You two, keep an eye on the pig's head."
Cook porridge over a fast fire, meat over a slow fire, and pork head at a moderate speed.
If you want to make pork head delicious, the cooking time is the most important.
Wang Meili was afraid that she could not defeat Jiang Zao, so she asked her father for a position for Jiang Shan, allowing her to come and work as a laborer, earning two yuan a day.
Jiang Shan came without hesitation because she could earn extra money and make some money.
Wang Meili: "Don't worry, we will definitely take good care of the heat."
They were about to lift the pig's head when Wang Meili noticed Sun Ligen and Jiang Zao walking in and gave Jiang Shan a wink.
When Jiang Shan saw the new clothes on Jiang Zao, her eyes suddenly became red with jealousy.
The behavior of a foxy woman!
She's really good at researching. She put on a new set of clothes. Who is she trying to seduce behind her brother-in-law Shuisheng's back?
Wang Shuangquan is the master chef of a state-owned restaurant, so it is normal to invite him to prepare the birthday banquet.
Jiang Zao was not surprised to see Wang Meili and Jiang Shan.
In accordance with Sun Ligen's request, the Cheng family prepared flour and tools in advance and placed them in the kitchen. Sun Ligen and Jiang Zao washed their hands five times and cleaned the pots and pans in preparation for making flower buns.
As the sun rose higher, the temperature also rose.
Wang Meili passed by the small kitchen door several times intentionally or unintentionally. Jiang Zao and Sun Ligen had the window open and the door closed, so they could see people's figures from outside, but not clearly.
Not only do they avoid suspicion, they also keep the things they make tightly covered.
Wang Meili went back and squatted in front of the stove, scratching her head and face in frustration: "How can we do it if she doesn't come out?"
The iron pot was bubbling with the aroma of meat, and the wood stove was burning on a low fire, which made the sound even more annoying.
Jiang Shan couldn't think of a solution, because Sun Ligen and Jiang Zao didn't come out.
"We'll take turns watching. One of us will watch the fire, and the other will go outside and keep watch."
Wang Meili nodded: "Okay, I'll go first."
She stood up on her hands and knees and walked outside to stare.
Jiang Shan was left alone to look after the pig's head.
Feng Miao dotes on Jiang Shan, and the family's money is limited. They can only eat meat a few times a month, let alone pig's head meat that is fat but not greasy, melts in the mouth, and has fat and lean parts that fill your mouth with fragrance!
Jiang Shan looks forward to eating meat every day!
The pig's head smells so good, especially when it's cooked by Wang Shuangquan. The aroma wafts out from the edge of the pot, gurgling, gurgling...
The fragrance was like two small hands, constantly pulling at Jiang Shan's stomach, rubbing and kneading it hard, making her stomach feel sour and her throat drooling.
'Eat something.'
'Eat something so no one will notice.'
There was a voice in her mind that kept tempting Jiang Shan.
"The pig's head is usually shredded and mixed with cold dishes, or stir-fried. If you're caught eating it, just deny it."
The sound continued.
I’m so hungry. I only ate a few bites of steamed buns in the morning.
It’s all Jiang Zao’s fault. If it weren’t for Jiang Zao, she wouldn’t have to suffer here.
"It has to be shredded or sliced anyway, so it should be okay to eat some, right?"
