Chapter 29 Braised Pork Intestines
Last night at midnight, Aunt Yun brought over a hundred eggs. Chen Mei said, "I've never seen so many eggs in my life."
Eggs are not expensive, but when they lived in the Shen family's old house, they were never allowed to eat eggs.
Seeing so many eggs, Chen Mei felt overwhelmed with joy.
Shen Qingyue said: "Sister, let's cook two for breakfast tomorrow."
Chen Mei was a little tempted, but after thinking it over, she refused: "Keep it and sell it. It doesn't matter to me whether I eat it or not."
Shen Qingyue said: "Now that we're separated, we can't be too hard on ourselves. Eat whatever you want. Eat it for a few months, and I guarantee that it will be enough for us to see eggs again!"
Chen Mei has become much more lively since the separation. She glared at Shen Qingyue and said, "Nonsense, are you still full of eggs?"
Then Chen Mei sighed again, "If we buy a house, I will raise chickens in the yard. I raised all those chickens before. They were very good."
She can also take care of the vegetable garden.
Seeing Shen Qingyue buying a lot of vegetables, although it didn't cost much, it still hurt. Growing some vegetables is not a difficult thing. Vegetables grow in the fields one after another, and it's so comforting to watch.
Shen Qingyue said: "We don't have enough capital yet, let's save up a little more first."
"Yeah." Shen Mei was a weak-willed person, but she was very obedient. Now that Shen Qingyue had provoked all the big and small things in the family, she just had to follow her lead.
Although Chen Mei was tired, she felt much more at ease than before. She just liked this kind of life.
The next morning, Shen Qingyue really cooked three eggs and ate them as a snack.
The egg yolk is dark in color with an oily luster. It looks good and smells good. Although it is not worth much now, after ten or twenty years, you will have to ask someone to buy it for you if you want.
These are genuine country eggs.
Shen Qingyue beat the rest of the eggs and made steamed egg custard. She put the steamed eggs in a large bowl and sold them like tofu pudding!
Shen Qingyue only added a little bit of salt to make the dish light in flavor, and then sprinkled some soy sauce on it when customers came to buy it, which made the taste even better.
Shen Qingyue can now take out the pickled white radish that she had made the day before yesterday. She cuts it into thin slices. It is sour, sweet, crispy and has a little bit of spiciness. It is very refreshing and can relieve greasiness.
The old jar is used, so the pickles are made especially quickly.
Put these crispy radish slices in a bowl, and quickly add other radishes in. There’s no other way, the jar is small, so I can only pickle them like this!
They set off early.
When we got there, we first delivered food to Shen Xiu and took away the lunch box from the previous day. Today's dishes were pig intestines, egg custard, and minced meat and eggplant.
Shen Xiu took the lunch box and couldn't help but say, "Second sister, your cooking is so delicious! The whole class came over. I shared a few pieces with my classmates and they all said it was delicious!"
Shen Qingyue said: "You are too thin, you need to supplement more nutrition, my second sister's business is doing well now."
Shen Xiu nodded heavily.
Shen Qingyue took out another boiled egg from her pocket: "Here, eat it when you're hungry while reading at night."
"Second sister, I've eaten enough." Shen Xiu said sensibly.
Shen Qingyue quickly put the thing in her hand and said, "I'll give it to you. We don't need a bite of food at home."
Then he said, "I'll bring you food tomorrow."
Shen Xiu sniffed, her eyes red as she said, "Thank you, second sister." She felt a little guilty, thinking that she couldn't help with the housework and didn't deserve to eat such good food.
Shen Qingyue seemed to be able to sense Shen Xiu's sensitivity: "We are sisters, there is no need to thank me. Just get into high school, don't worry too much about family matters. Maybe when you come back next time, we will have bought a house."
Shen Xiu was even more excited when he heard this: "That's great."
Shen Qingyue touched Shen Xiu's soft hair: "Okay, go back to class."
When Shen Xiu reluctantly returned to the house, the girl at her table quietly nudged Shen Xiu with her arm and said, "Hey, that's your second sister. She's so beautiful!"
Shen Xiu said: "Well, my second sister is the most beautiful one in our village."
"That's great." said my deskmate.
Seeing that lunch break was about to start, her deskmate said anxiously, "Shen Xiu, I brought some pastry. Can I exchange it with you for some dishes?"
She had just two bites of Shen Xiu's dish yesterday and couldn't forget it. She brought this pastry specially.
Shen Xiu said, "Okay."
My deskmate was immediately happy.
When they excitedly opened their lunch boxes at noon, Shen Xiu regretted the exchange. Her sister had brought her all her favorite foods.
As the fragrance spread, not only my deskmate but also everyone else in the class came over.
I have never smelled such a delicious smell when I eat every day.
After a while, the sound of swallowing saliva began to rise one after another.
…
Shen Qingyue arrived at the stall. The noodle stall owner, perhaps frustrated or depressed, did not open his stall.
Shen Qingyue didn't care about that and prepared more dishes today than yesterday.
Especially the sweet and sour fried chicken bones that everyone loved yesterday, now we have added two delicious new items, braised pork intestines and egg custard.
The pickled radish is a small side dish, pre-wrapped in oil paper. It comes in small portions, and each one has three pieces. It's just enough to help you with a meal.
At noon, when work was over, more people rushed out. This time, many of them came prepared, and more people brought lunch boxes.
"Give me one."
"I want one too."
Shen Qingyue opened all the dishes.
Each one exudes an alluring aroma. Shen Qingyue constantly adjusts the dishes, including both popular dishes and new dishes.
The diners who came to buy the food had a bit of a choice problem. They really didn't know what to eat, so they just chose the dishes they liked. The new dishes looked tempting.
I'm hesitant to choose new dishes, but the old ones are hard to let go.
But soon the crowds grew, and the diners had little time to decide: "Eggplant with minced meat sauce, egg custard, or sweet and sour chicken bones."
After making his choice, the diner said to Shen Qingyue with a look of resentment and anger: "Why is the food in your restaurant so delicious?" He didn't know how to choose.
Shen Qingyue said, "Just eat it if you like it." After that, she gave him a bag of crispy sweet and sour radishes.
The man immediately smiled when he received the delicious pickles as a gift: "Oh, thank you."
Others asked, "How much is this braised pork intestine? Is it clean?" They were afraid that the pork intestine would have a strange smell.
It is troublesome and wastes ingredients. Even when I go to a state-owned restaurant, I try to avoid it. But I actually saw it at a small stall. I want to eat it but I’m afraid it’s not clean.
Shen Qingyue said: "I turned it over and cleaned it bit by bit. I washed it more than five times and we ate it ourselves."
Upon hearing this, the eyes of those who love eating pig intestines light up.
Shen Qingyue said, "But the pig intestines are expensive. Counting them in the lunch box, they only cost two yuan. You can get an extra spoonful of soup, and it's delicious when mixed with rice."
I thought the customer would be unhappy, but he was so rich that he said, "It's my duty."
In the restaurant, a plate costs two yuan and half of the plate is carrots and green peppers. Here, a meal with three dishes costs fifty cents, and two pieces of pig intestines are already a lot.
