The two went down to the first floor.
Aman pushed out Old Mrs. Chen's little tricycle.
As the weather gets colder, Mrs. Chen, whose legs are already not very nimble, rarely goes out.
The tricycles, which are not commonly used, are now almost entirely used by Aman.
When Aman was working as a bricklayer on the construction site, the money he earned was more than enough to cover his expenses.
So he would give all the money he earned from collecting bottles to Grandma Chen.
Occasionally, Ning Wan would instruct Aman to deliver any unsold vegetables from the shop to her.
A small pink stool was mounted on the back of the tricycle. Next to the stool was a red plastic bag.
Ning Wan climbed onto the car in one go.
He curled up and sat on a small stool.
She tightened her coat and scarf, and put her small hands in her pockets.
Aman lifted the red plastic bag with his large hand.
He opened it and took out a large, thick military overcoat.
Aman opened his coat and wrapped it around Ningwan.
The clothes were a bit too big, and the hem fell onto the truck bed. Ning Wan was completely wrapped up, without any airflow.
She poked her head out and asked curiously, "Where did these clothes come from?"
The style of the military overcoat is somewhat outdated, unlike what you can buy on the market.
But the clothes were very clean.
If you smell it closely, you can also detect a faint floral fragrance.
“Grandma gave it to me,” Aman replied.
When he delivered the money to Grandma Chen's house yesterday, Grandma Chen took out this military overcoat from her bedroom.
She didn't explain, only saying, "It's cold."
But Aman understood her concern.
The coat is not only thick but also windproof.
Before long, Ning Wan felt warm all over.
Aman put on his gloves, sat in front, pedaled the tricycle, and shouted, "Let's go!"
...
Ning Wan and Aman were going to a farmers' market that was a bit far from Longshou Village.
The market there not only has fresh ingredients, a wide variety of products, and a rich selection of dishes.
Most importantly, it's inexpensive.
It is equivalent to the wholesale supply market of the entire cloud city.
The market was very large, and when Ning Wan and Aman arrived by tricycle, the area outside the market was already full of cars.
Most of them are purchased by merchants.
As soon as Ning Wan entered the market, she was attracted by the dazzling array of goods.
In the area where poultry was sold, roosters kept in cages flapped their wings energetically.
It occasionally crowed like a rooster.
At the vegetable stall, the cabbages were crisp and fresh, and the tomatoes were bright red, each one glistening with dewdrops.
There are also various fruits, cooked foods, steamed buns and mantou.
The aroma is enticing.
The early morning market is even more bustling and vibrant than a shopping mall.
The shouts of vendors and the sounds of customers haggling over prices.
And the cleaver slammed heavily onto the cutting board, again and again.
That deep, heavy sound made the entire market seem so vibrant and full of life.
Today is Ning Wan's first day, and also the first time she has received such a large number of boxed meal orders.
At Zhou Kai's construction site, the maximum number of meals produced per day was only 100.
369 boxed meals is no small number.
Ning Wan wasn't very confident about the types of vegetables, the quantity to buy, or the cooking time.
The decision can only be made based on the production time of those 100 portions and the ingredients that needed to be purchased.
Time was short.
Ning Wan didn't dare to cook anything too complicated, so she could only start preparing simple dishes.
After shopping for two hours, Ning Wan and Aman left with a car full of vegetables.
The remaining ingredients that couldn't be delivered had to wait for the vendors to deliver them to their door at 9 o'clock.
When I got back to the store, it was already 7:30 in the morning.
Xu Xiufeng and Zhao Shuigen, a married couple, had been waiting in the shop for a long time.
Upon seeing Ning Wan and the others return, the couple hurried forward to help unload the goods.
Because the construction site was closed for the holiday, Zhao Shuigen couldn't find any work for the time being.
Ning Wan simply hired two people to work at the store together.
Xu Xiufeng and her husband are responsible for washing and chopping vegetables and preparing ingredients.
Ning Wan and A Man were in charge of cooking.
During the time Ning Wan was out of work and staying home after arguing with Chen Limin, she taught Aman how to cook.
Aman is very smart and learns very quickly.
The food he made tasted exactly like Ning Wan's.
The standard for the boxed meals provided by Song Mengwan was 40 yuan per serving.
Ning Wan was generous and prepared a very lavish meal.
Braised pork trotters, shredded pork with garlic sauce, pan-fried chicken cutlet, and boiled shrimp.
To make braised pig's trotters, simply wash and drain the pig's trotters you bought, put them in a large pot, add spices, and simmer.
After cleaning the shrimp, add ginger slices and salt and cook until done, then serve.
Both dishes don't require much effort.
The chicken cutlets were purchased as semi-finished products, and Aman was in charge of frying them.
Ning Wan was in charge of making the shredded pork with garlic sauce.
Fish-flavored shredded pork is a classic Sichuan dish.
But very few people can do it well.
Most people choose to use pre-packaged meals to save time and effort.
When the pork was delivered to the store, Ning Wan first cut the cleaned lean pork into small pieces and put them in the freezer.
Seeing this, Xu Xiufeng asked with some confusion, "Aren't we making shredded pork with garlic sauce? The pork is all frozen, how are we going to cut it later?"
Ning Wan smiled and explained, "Actually, slightly frozen pieces of meat are the easiest to cut, and the cuts will be more even in thickness. This step is also the key to making Yu Xiang Rou Si (shredded pork with garlic sauce) delicious."
After all the vegetables were washed, the pork was almost frozen.
