Chapter 383 Frozen Pork
Qin Juan smiled and said, "Where did you get the candy? Keep it for yourself. Ningning has enough food and drink now."
The bun shop paid them wages before they moved. Although they only worked there for a few days, they still earned some income.
After the divorce, her parents and brothers also helped her. It was almost the end of the month and the salary was coming, so Qin Juan was living a comfortable life.
She brought Ningning with her, and with this job they had no worries about food and clothing, which was much better than their previous life.
Qin Jianjun insisted on stuffing it into her mouth, "I am already so old, why should a grown man eat candy? Auntie, you eat it."
Without dwelling on the two pieces of candy, he changed the subject and asked, "What does Auntie want me to do?"
The smile on Qin Juan's face faded a little, but she still put the candy into her pocket, looked around, and pulled Qin Jianjun to a remote place.
"You've been in the store for a long time. Do you think the pork is normal? I just realized when I was making the stuffing that the pork today seems to be different from the previous ones."
Seeing that other people didn't react, she wondered if she didn't know what was going on, after all, she had only worked in the bun shop for a short time.
Qin Jianjun looked at the pork and frowned slightly, "This looks like frozen pork."
The meat in their bun shop is all fresh pork slaughtered that day.
"Could it be that the weather was too cold and he froze on the way?"
Qin Jianjun couldn't say for sure, but this was Fourth Aunt's bun shop, so if he found any problems, he had to respond in time.
Just as he was about to go find Jia Liang, Feng Zhong came over and said, "Xiao Qin, sister, you are here, what's going on?"
Qin Juan glanced at Qin Jianjun. Feng Zhong has always been in charge of the purchasing work of the bun shop.
After thinking for a while, he said directly, "I was just about to make the meat filling. It seems that the meat we have today is frozen. I remember the store manager said that the meat filling in our bun shop is all fresh pork slaughtered that day."
"This is fresh pork that was slaughtered today," Feng Zhong said with a smile, "Sister, please forgive me. Do you know how cold it has been these mornings? I got up in the middle of the night to go to the slaughterhouse to pull the meat. After all this, I am almost frozen stiff, not to mention the pork. This is normal. You can tell from the smell how fresh the meat is."
Qin Juan only eats meat a few times a month at the Zhang family. Every time she buys meat, she eats it with others. She even eats less of the vegetables in the meat dishes.
After saying this, he smiled awkwardly, "Really? I don't know how to do it."
Qin Jianjun rarely goes into the kitchen, and he doesn't know the difference between fresh pork and frozen pork.
When I was at home, every Spring Festival my family would buy a big piece of meat and freeze it to eat slowly.
After hearing what Feng Zhong said, I understood.
Although today's incident just passed, Qin Juan was still more cautious.
On the second day, the first thing she did was to check the purchased pork.
I found that although the pork was a little stiff, it was still different from yesterday.
Feng Zhong came over again at this moment, "Sister, how about the meat today? Is it okay?"
Qin Juan smiled and said, "No problem."
"That's right. Yesterday you said the meat was terribly jelly, so today I brought a quilt to cover myself. It's warmer than what I wore along the way."
"Really? Then you are thoughtful," Qin Juan was completely relieved.
"That's right. We must work hard for the boss to be worthy of the salary he pays us. Don't worry, big sister. If there is anything, just tell me directly. Brother Liang and I are brothers who have been through thick and thin together. There is no need to be polite."
Qin Juan nodded, smiled and said nothing more.
She also knew the relationship between Feng Zhong and Jia Liang, so she told Jianjun about it first yesterday.
But it seems that I just don't understand.
Qin Juan helped with the kitchen work for a while and then went upstairs.
She mainly works on the second floor now, but every morning when there is nothing to do on the second floor, she is used to making dumplings with everyone.
……………………
By the way, Lin Chuxia brought two dishes home and prepared to stir-fry another dish of pickled cabbage.
There are no out-of-season vegetables these days, and cabbage can be eaten in different ways every day.
Fortunately, Lin Chuxia's family had heating at home, so the house was warm. She got several large flower pots and planted some green vegetables in them.
Now, half of Qin Yang’s study is now a vegetable garden.
There is no way. If you don’t want to suffer injustice these days, you have to find a way yourself.
Even so, you can't eat as much as you want.
The meal was just cooked and Qin Yang just came back from get off work.
Seeing the dishes on the table, Qin Yang smiled and said, "Going to the store again? If you don't want to cook, just wait for me to come back, or tell me in advance. The food in our company cafeteria is also delicious, and I will directly bring it back from the company cafeteria."
Lin Chuxia handed him a pair of chopsticks. "I just saw that the fish in the store is fresh today, and I want to eat squirrel mandarin fish. You should try it. Chef Zhang is really good at making this. I thought he was bragging before, but it tastes really good."
Master Zhang worked in a state-owned restaurant. Those who worked for the government all had a sense of superiority.
He is cheerful, speaks and acts confidently and generously, and even likes to brag a little.
So every time Lin Chuxia listened to him talking, she would automatically give him a discount.
Qin Yang took a bite and praised it highly, but he still preferred spicy chicken.
"By the way, the house has been sorted out. It's not far from our family compound, near the slaughterhouse. It's considered the slaughterhouse's family compound."
A big part of the reason why Mr. He didn't want to come to the city was that he didn't want to live with them.
Lin Chuxia might as well buy a yard, and when the old man figures it out one day, she can take it over and let him live there as he pleases.
But it’s not so easy to buy a yard these days.
The ownership of the staff quarters of government agencies lies in the hands of the agencies, and individuals do not have the right to buy, sell or lease them.
Even the ownership of the houses of various enterprises and units is in the hands of the units. It is only in the past two years, when some units encountered poor performance, that they began to think about buying houses.
After individuals buy a house, they rarely sell it. The housing problem becomes more serious in larger cities.
There is no housing buying and selling market, and everything depends on inquiring and word of mouth.
Last time she bought the yard where Qin Juan lived by chance.
"Okay, let's go and have a look together tomorrow."
Tomorrow is the weekend.
Qin Yang also had this plan.
After dinner, Lin Chuxia went to take care of her green vegetables.
These vegetables have a fast growing period and are easy to care for.
Qin Yang went to the study to look for a book. Seeing her cautious look, he laughed at her, "You have only these two pots of food for a few meals. You put more effort into it than my brother does in planting two acres of land."
"Oh, you don't understand. Scarcity makes things valuable. If I sell these vegetables in the market, the income will be higher than that of my brother's two acres of vegetables."
Qin Yang did not refute this point. His wife grew this vegetable, but it was not available in the market at the moment.
There are only a few families in the entire residential compound that use radiators. The employees in their units generally have high incomes and can afford radiators.
