"I heard from my aunt that Fang Yatou and Li Ergou have gone to the city to do business, and now they are walking around the village like a big shot! They say they are doing well and making a lot of money in the city, so I want to ask you if you have run into them."
"I know."
"You know?"
"Yes, I not only know that they do business in the city, I also know that they also sell braised dishes and their business is pretty good."
"What? How do you know so much?"
"Because they sell braised dishes right across from me, and the taste is pretty similar to mine."
"The taste is similar to yours? Could it be that they are the ones who tricked big brother into making the marinade at the end of last year? That's not right, big brother said it was a little girl."
"It's them, no doubt."
"They are so shameless. They used such despicable means to cheat the marinade from my eldest brother, and now they dare to sell braised dishes opposite you. They are so shameless." Jiang Weimin was furious at the thought that Ning Yatou's business would be affected.
"It's okay. Their presence didn't affect our business at all. They are all regular customers, and most of them buy from us. We only need to set up the stall for about an hour every day to sell out all the braised dishes. Even so, we still don't have enough braised dishes to sell."
After hearing Jiang Ning's words, Jiang Weimin finally felt relieved: "That's good, as long as it doesn't affect your business."
"Oh, second brother, it's not the busy farming season yet, and you don't have much to do at home. How about you come with me when I go to the city this time and help us out? There have been policy changes, and I heard that the college entrance examination might be reinstated, so Chen Yan and I are planning to take it. But that would mean we wouldn't be able to take care of our business. Would you be willing to go over and help?"
Jiang Weimin said without hesitation: "Sure, I've been wanting to go to the city for a long time anyway. You guys go and take care of your own things, and leave the stall business to me."
"Okay then, tell Grandpa and the others, and you can come back to the city with me."
"Okay, no problem."
The next day, Jiang Ning got up early and went to the village chief's house to cook.
The first dish she made was tiger skin braised pork. She took out the large pork belly that she had specially selected yesterday, washed it, put cooking wine and ginger slices in it, and then started to cook it. After it was cooked, she spread honey on the pork skin and fried it in a pan. After frying, she cut it into thick slices, then put pickles in a large bowl and steamed the pork belly in the bowl until the pork belly was mushy. The dish was considered complete. This tiger skin braised pork was not only delicious, but also fatty but not greasy.
Then I started to make the braised fish. After the fish was fried, I put garlic, ginger, bean paste and other seasonings back into the pot and stir-fried until fragrant. Then I put the fish in and stir-fried it. Then I boiled it with water. After the sauce was reduced over high heat, I could serve it.
Then he started to cook the braised pork. Soon Jiang Ning finished the three main dishes. Then he fried a plate of potatoes, added a piece of sprout that Jiang Ning had grown in the system, and paired it with the braised dishes he had prepared himself. The meal was ready.
"What's that smell? It's so delicious." Secretary Fang and his group, who had just finished inspecting the village, also came to the village chief's house to prepare for lunch.
"This should be the food made by Jiang Ning from our village. She is the chef of our village and the food she cooks is delicious." The village chief said hurriedly.
"This smells good. Looks like we're in for a treat today." Someone nearby echoed.
They strode into the house, and as soon as they entered, they saw six large bowls of dishes neatly placed on the eight-immortal table. They looked delicious, and the rice was also neatly placed on top.
"Secretary Fang, please sit down and eat first. We will go to the mountain to see what the situation is like in the afternoon. We will have to run around all afternoon. I'll make you some tea first." After the village chief said this, he went to the kitchen to make tea.
As soon as the village chief reached the kitchen door, Jiang Ning came over with five cups of tea.
"Uncle Niu, this is the tea prepared for you." After saying that, he handed it to the village chief.
The village chief took the tray of tea and said, "Okay, thank you, Ning girl. Let's eat first. I'll have to trouble you to help cook again in the evening."
"It's okay, Uncle Niu, I'll come over in the afternoon. I'll go back now. I guess my grandpa and the others are still waiting for me to eat."
"Okay, you go back first. Your aunt is at home anyway, so you can come directly over in the afternoon."
"Okay, then uncle I'll be leaving first."
......
After the five of them finished their meal, Secretary Chen, who was accompanying Secretary Fang, couldn't help but exclaim, "Village Chief Cui, your chef's skills are quite good. The dish he made is even better than what I had at the state-owned restaurant. This is the first time I've had such delicious food, and the way he presented it is also very beautiful. It's both delicious and beautiful."
"Jiang Ning is indeed good at cooking. Whenever people from all over the country hold a banquet, they always ask her to be the chef." The village chief looked proud.
After they finished their meal, the village chief accompanied them to the mountain to inspect the situation.
When Jiang Ning returned to the Jiang family, the whole family had finished their meal and were busy going to the mountains to chop firewood. Grandma, aunt, and sister-in-law went to the mountains to look for wild vegetables. Only the two little carrot heads were left at home.
Jiang Wei: "Aunt, the rice that mother left for you is in the pot, remember to eat it."
"Okay, I get it. Go play with your brother."
The two little rascals went out like a gust of wind.
After Jiang Ning had a quick meal at home and rested for a while, he went to the village chief's house to prepare dinner.
She also made stir-fried pork with green peppers, chopped pepper fish head and boiled pork slices, and paired them with cabbage soup and her braised chicken legs and eggs, and tonight's dinner was complete.
She completed the task assigned to her by the village chief successfully. Yesterday, she and Jiang Weimin earned eight work points, plus ten work points for cooking today, making a total of eighteen work points in two days. She can go home now.
By the time the village chief and his group returned, Jiang Ning had already prepared the meal and even brewed tea and placed it on the table.
"Village Chief Cui, your chef is really good. He even made tea for us. Let's see what we're having for dinner tonight." Secretary Chen walked to the dining table and took a look.
"This dish is so rich! When I was having fish at noon today, I was wondering why I didn't get the fish head. But we had chopped pepper fish head tonight. The bright red color looks delicious. I'm really curious about how this chef can cook so well. Is the village chief still here? I really want to meet him."
"This chef really cooks well." Secretary Fang on the side also said.
"Yes, yes. Let's eat first, and then we'll talk."
