The aroma of the braised food was so strong and rich that it spread to the Lu family next door.
Without having to think, the Lu family knew that it was the Xie family that was cooking meat again.
Like Xie's mother, Lu's mother thought that they had already eaten meat at the banquet a few days ago, so there was no meat in the meals at home for the past two days.
Even adults can’t stand the smell of this fragrance, let alone children?
The children from the first and second wives were clamoring for meat, and started crying when they couldn't get any.
The noise made Mother Lu's head hurt. She said with a very unhappy face, "Has the neighbor become rich recently? He eats meat every day."
"Isn't it?" Mrs. Lu coaxed her youngest son and glanced at Lin Huihui: "Ever since Xie Qingxiao got married, the Xie family has been eating meat every day, and the fragrance is always wafting over here!"
Mother Lu understood what her eldest daughter-in-law meant. Wasn't she saying that the Xie family only eats meat every day because Xie Qingxiao married Lin Xiangyi?
That's not impossible. After all, Lin Xiangyi's father, Lin Shan, is the workshop director of a meat processing plant and deals with meat every day. In their opinion, the thing the Lin family lacks the least is probably meat.
Thinking of this, Mother Lu cast her gaze on Lin Huihui, a hint of disdain flashing in her eyes.
When Lu Dingyuan said he wanted to marry Lin Huihui, she went to inquire about Lin Huihui's background.
He knew that although she was not Lin Shan’s biological daughter, she was loved more by Lin Shan than Lin Xiangyi.
At that time, she was thinking, if she married Lin Huihui, would her family still lack meat to eat? So she was very supportive of this marriage.
She thought she had found a treasure, but she was wrong. After all, Lin Shan loved his biological daughter Lin Xiangyi more.
Well, Lin Shan is not stupid. How could he ignore his biological daughter Lin Xiangyi and turn to love Lin Huihui, his stepdaughter who has no blood relationship with him?
Of course, Lin Huihui could also think of what Lu's mother could think of.
She was increasingly dissatisfied with Lin Shan. He actually secretly gave Lin Xiangyi meat? He didn't give her any? This was too biased!
Lin Huihui thought angrily, and inadvertently noticed a flash of disgust in Lu's mother's eyes, and her heart skipped a beat.
She had been working so hard these past few days to please Lu's mother, just to eliminate her dissatisfaction with the dowry incident. Now she was about to succeed, but now all her efforts were wasted?
How is that possible?
Lin Huihui said flatteringly: "Mom, have you finished eating? Then put the bowl down and I will wash it."
Hearing that she offered to help wash the dishes, Mother Lu's expression eased a lot.
It is better to marry Lin Huihui than Lin Xiangyi. Although Lin Shan loves Lin Xiangyi more, Lin Xiangyi is lazy. She has been married to the Xie family for two days and has never worked once.
If she had a daughter-in-law like this, she would probably be so angry that she would die!
Lin Huihui is not only diligent, but also has a job in the county town. She is many times better than that lazy Lin Xiangyi.
When Mother Lu thought of this, she liked Lin Huihui even more and said with a smile, "I'll put that bowl here."
"Okay!" Lin Huihui said with a smile.
Mrs. Lu Da and Mrs. Lu Er looked at each other and secretly cursed Lin Huihui for being so sweet-talking and pleasing her mother-in-law.
But this is a good thing for them, after all, they don’t have to work anymore.
So they finished their meal and left quickly, leaving a pile of dishes and chopsticks on the table.
Lin Huihui: “…” She wanted to ask Lu Dingyuan to help her wash, but when she turned around, she saw Lu Dingyuan being pulled away by his nephews who were yelling at him to take them out to play.
Lin Huihui: “…”
By the time she finished washing the dishes and brushing her teeth, it was already dark. In order to save electricity, the Lu family basically kept the lights on. Lu's father and mother, the first and second wives had already returned to their rooms, and only the slightest noises could be heard from the children of the first and second wives in the house.
Lin Huihui returned to the room, and before she could say anything, Lu Dingyuan came up to her and wanted to get close to her.
Lin Huihui was exhausted and didn't want to deal with him, but her delicate and coquettish refusal sounded like a half-hearted refusal to Lu Dingyuan, so he still accepted her.
Lu Dingyuan had just started eating meat, and he couldn't stop once he started eating, and he kept going on for an hour on and off.
When it was over, Lin Huihui's stomach started to sing the empty city plan.
I haven't eaten meat for two days, and I still have to do so much work and deal with Lu Dingyuan. I can't survive without some meat.
Especially since the air was filled with the overbearing fragrance coming from the Xie family next door, Lin Huihui became even hungrier.
However, Lin Huihui did not get up and go to the kitchen to find food. She knew that Lu's mother was afraid that the people from the first and second rooms would steal the food, so she kept the food in her room, and there was no food in the kitchen at all.
She could only bear it. Fortunately, after returning to her parents' home tomorrow, they would go back to the city to work and live in the county town in the future. She would not be enslaved by Lu's mother to work. If she wanted to eat anything, she could spend money to go to a state-owned restaurant, or go back to the Lin family to eat...
At the Xie family's side, after dinner, Mr. and Mrs. Xie became hungry after smelling the aroma of the braised food.
"Xiangyi, what's the name of this? It's been stewed for so long, how long will it take?" Xie's mother tried to control herself from swallowing her saliva and asked in a normal tone.
"This is called stewed food." Lin Xiangyi had already noticed that Mother Xie was greedy, so she opened the pot and saw the rich soup boiling. She said, "It should be ready, mother, do you want to try it?"
"Okay, okay, let me try it," Xie's mother said, then picked up the bowl and chopsticks and picked up a duck intestine to eat...
"How is it? Is it delicious? Is it cooked?" Xie's father asked hurriedly.
"Delicious!" Xie's mother looked at Lin Xiangyi in surprise. She never expected that these fishy duck intestines could be cooked so deliciously by Lin Xiangyi.
It tastes salty and spicy, and even she, who can eat spicy food but doesn't like it, thinks it's delicious.
Xie's mother: "The more you chew, the tastier it tastes!"
"Let me try it too!" Xie's father said hurriedly. He picked up a duck heart with chopsticks, blew on it to cool it down, and put it in his mouth.
Although it’s not as delicious as Xie’s mother said, the more you chew it, the more delicious it is, but it’s still delicious!!!
Xie Qingxiao was just outside cleaning up the filth left over from processing duck entrails. When he came in and saw his parents being so exaggerated, he became curious.
Is it so delicious?
"Here, this is for you." When Lin Xiangyi saw him come in, she handed him the food she had just picked up and prepared to eat, and asked him to eat it.
Xie Qingxiao also took a bite.
"How is it?" Lin Xiangyi asked expectantly. Can this taste be used to do business?
Xie Qingxiao used to hang out a lot, and he had eaten more delicious food than Xie's father and mother. If he says everything is delicious, then this thing can definitely be sold!
"It's really delicious!" Xie Qingxiao's eyes lit up. "I've never seen this sold outside."
That’s because braised dishes only became popular in the 1990s, so they were naturally not available outside.
Lin Xiangyi asked with a smile: "Then can we sell it?"
"If you really want to start a business, you can sell this," Xie Qingxiao said happily before his mother could speak. "It's unreasonable not to make money from something this delicious!"
"Yes, if this thing is taken out, it should be able to be sold," Xie's father also said.
Lin Xiangyi turned to look at them, then looked at Xie Qingxiao, and said with a smile: "Then we will sell this?"
"Okay!" Xie Qingxiao made the final decision.
