Chapter 31: High awareness, follow your sister and you will have meat to eat!

Jiang Yuanfeng corrected his third brother's statement, "I'm inviting my eldest brother and Zhizhi, there's no place for you!"

Jiang Yuanyang: “???”

Regardless, he just acted like a servile person and said, "I will follow you."

Jiang Yuanshan silently looked away and finally concluded: "Isn't it shameful?"

Jiang Yuanyang feels very good about himself.

Rarely, Jiang Zhizhi joined the forces of his eldest and second brothers and agreed with his eldest brother's opinion.

Hahahaha, Third brother, you little dog!

The four brothers and sisters came to the state-owned hotel happily, laughing and joking.

The state-owned hotel has a very contemporary feel.

Above the vermilion gate there is a plaque with red letters that read "State-owned Hotel".

There is a red five-pointed star right above the plaque.

On the left is the red couplet of self-reliance and on the right is the red couplet of hard work.

Looking around, there were six red flags on the roof, fluttering in the wind.

When Jiang Zhizhi walked into the state-owned hotel, the first thing he saw was the small blackboard with today’s dishes.

[Broiled pork 43 cents, pickled cabbage 1 cent, stir-fried pork liver with garlic 30 cents, half a pound of mutton 50 cents, braised short ribs 30 cents, wontons 50 cents, pork and cabbage dumplings 50 cents, rice 10 cents.]

[Pork and pickled cabbage noodles are 18 cents, chicken stewed with mushrooms is 18 cents, vegetarian fried shredded potatoes are 5 cents...]

The second thing I saw was: The hotel’s slogan was: No hitting or scolding of customers.

Existence is reasonable.

In the 1970s, eating out was a luxury. Without food stamps, you couldn't even have a meal.

State-owned hotels collected food coupons based on the weight of the food. For example, if you bought two fried dough sticks, you would be charged two liang coupons, plus an additional five cents.

But you don’t need a meat ticket to eat at the state-owned hotel in this small county town!

Jiang Zhizhi saw someone ordering rice at the window, and the rice was quite substantial.

Another thing is that state-owned hotels have time restrictions. Those who come early have no food to eat, and those who come late have no food to eat.

Even if you have money, the chefs will ignore you because they have to get off work on time.

There weren't many people here today. Jiang Zhizhi patted his black canvas bag and said with a grin, "Order! There are enough food coupons!"

Of course, more money!

The four siblings chose the large table on the right. The four of them could just fit on one table without having to share it with others.

Jiang Zhizhi waited for his brothers to order with a smile on his face, but his brothers only wanted to order the cheapest steamed buns, which cost only five cents each.

Her brothers really saved money for her.

Jiang Zhizhi laughed out loud. Although she usually loved to tease her brothers, when it came to collecting herbs, her brothers had to work hard and it would be so tiring to carry such heavy herbs!

Moreover, they provide enthusiastic emotional values ​​throughout the whole process and support you in everything. In Jiang Zhizhi's heart, they can be regarded as very good brothers.

Jiang Zhizhi stood up and went to the window to order food, and his little tail Jiang Yuanyang came running over happily.

"Zhizhi, don't order so much. If mom finds out, I'm afraid your life will be in danger!"

The eldest and second brothers were worried that they couldn't persuade their younger sister, so they sent him over.

Sure enough, among the four brothers and sisters, he is the most favored by Jiang Zhizhi!

There’s nothing I can do. I’m just too popular.

Jiang Yuanyang started to show off, his eyes sparkling.

Jiang Zhizhi was too familiar with this kind of look from his third brother, so he simply turned his head away and didn't look at him, letting him laugh secretly beside him.

Understanding what his brothers meant, Jiang Zhizhi didn't order so many dishes, just enough for four people.

She ordered braised pork, half a pound of lamb, and four servings of pork and cabbage dumplings.

When the waitress at our state-owned hotel saw Jiang Zhizhi, she smiled brightly and said, "It's two yuan and ninety-three cents."

Indeed, seeing a beautiful and polite woman at work made the female clerk feel better.

Jiang Zhizhi paid the money readily, and the female clerk told her to come back and serve it when it was cooked.

Jiang Zhizhi and Jiang Yuanyang walked back and sat down, looking around with interest.

When the waitress saw the dishes coming out, she shouted to the customers:

“Whose fried tofu is this?”

"Our table!"

"Which table is the hot pot pork from?"

“Here!”

“Come and serve the food!”

Another five minutes passed.

The female clerk shouted in the direction of Jiang Zhizhi.

"The braised pork, dumplings, and lamb are all ready. You can come and serve them."

There was no need for Jiang Zhizhi to go. Jiang Yuanfeng and Jiang Yuanyang stood up swiftly and went to the window to serve the dishes.

Jiang Yuanyang turned around and asked, "Sister, do you want some chopped green onions?"

"want!"

Jiang Zhizhi ate it with great relish.

Even before I started eating, the aroma of the dumplings hit my nose, whetting my appetite.

Jiang Yuanyang placed the first bowl of dumplings in front of Jiang Zhizhi and said with a happy smile: "Eat, eat. We have high awareness and we can eat meat by following our sister."

Jiang Yuanfeng chuckled: "My younger brother is just very conscious. The three of us brothers have indeed benefited from our sister's help."

Jiang Yuanshan nodded vigorously.

It seems that this meal at the state-owned hotel was rare. Jiang Zhizhi was originally a protective person. At the most critical moment, it was his uncle's family who helped their family. According to Jiang's father and mother, they would feel relieved to have their uncle's family taking care of their little girl.

Then, the uncle's family were all very nice and there was family ties, so Jiang Zhizhi accepted the Jiang family and divided them into his own area.

Jiang Zhizhi looked a little proud: "No need to say so much when it comes to food, just do it."

"Hahahaha, listen to my sister."

The delicious dishes were placed on the table and they were all greedy.

Each full dumpling looks very pleasing, with thin skin and large fillings, made with real ingredients.

If you want it to taste good, you have to cook it with care.

Jiang Zhizhi couldn't wait to pick up a big dumpling, blew on it gently, and took a bite.

Wow, I was surprised!

The dumplings were really delicious, the meat was very fresh, and the taste was just right, not too salty or too bland. Every bite hit Jiang Zhizhi's taste buds.

If Jiang Zhizhi were to prepare the meat filling, she was confident that it would be better and more fragrant than the one in state-owned restaurants.

But Jiang Zhizhi thinks the difference lies in the ingredients.

In later times, many things are about technology and hard work, and you don’t even know whether the things you eat have been added with various technologies.

Take the pork of the 1970s compared with that of later generations.

The taste of domestic pigs and feed pigs is very different.

Domesticated pigs in rural areas are fed wheat bran and hogweed, and the resulting pigs are almost all lean meat with very little fat.

A pig is raised for a year before it is released from the pen. The meat is of the best quality.

However, pigs are raised for a short time and eat feed. Some pigs eat too much feed, and the pork has a fishy smell.

Even if you add more ginger slices and cooking wine to remove the fishy smell, pork still has a fishy smell.

The northern pork and cabbage dumplings we eat now are made with real ingredients. They are full of meat and taste delicious and satisfying.

Jiang Yuanshan, Jiang Yuanfeng and Jiang Yuanyang were also immersed in the joy of eating meat.

The thing that the four of them have the best understanding of is eating.

After all, if you are not active in your work, there is something wrong with your thinking.

Jiang Yuanyang added with a smile: "You can lose face, but you can't lose food!"

The other three people agreed very much, our awareness is so high!

Jiang Zhizhi picked up another piece of braised pork. As expected, braised pork is a staple dish no matter where it is served. The taste is different when it is cooked in different places.

After eating, the four siblings sat for a while, touching their round tummies, feeling particularly satisfied.

After a good rest, the four brothers and sisters pulled the ox cart to the gate of the supply and marketing cooperative.

Jiang Yuanshan: "I'm not going in. I'm watching things outside."

He offered to watch over the cattle, pork and eggs outside, fearing that someone might steal them.
