Jiang Wenwan smiled when she saw the look in his eyes.
"It doesn't taste good!"
Ma Debi swallowed hard.
"I don't believe you. Give me a piece to try and I'll believe you."
After washing his hands, Zhou Yunting walked over, leaning on his cane, and smiled upon hearing this:
“It’s okay if Ma Zhiqing doesn’t believe it, I’ll try it for you.”
Jiang Wenwan placed the plate she had prepared on the stove, while Zhu Xiaomin sat on a small stool tending the fire.
He clicked his tongue at Zhou Yunting's face.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Wenwan handed him a pair of chopsticks. Zhou Yunting took the chopsticks, picked up a piece of golden-yellow, deep-fried pork coated in a sweet and sour sauce, and put it in his mouth.
"The broth is sweet and sour, the texture is crispy and fragrant, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, it's a delicious treat, so good, so very good!"
He took a bite in front of Maddie, gave his opinion, and then finished the whole piece of sweet and sour pork, bite by bite.
Even Ma Debi's stomach was making a disobedient rumbling protest.
He realized he was starting to dislike the kid; he was just a pretty face and had no compassion whatsoever.
Jiang Wenwan turned to look at him.
Why are you still here?
"Oh, buying a gun! Just buy it from Master Zhang."
After saying that, he saw Ma Debi staring at the sweet and sour pork, swallowing hard as if he could pounce on it at any moment.
He shook his head speechlessly.
"How about this, you give me two dollars, and I'll give you six pieces."
Slurp, “Six slices for two yuan, Jiang Zhiqing!”
"Don't be too heartless, ten pieces!"
"Seven pieces, or there won't be any left if you dawdle any longer!"
Maddbi immediately decided to stop while he was ahead.
"Deal! I'll pick them myself, I want the big ones."
Jiang Wenwan rolled her eyes at him.
"Use serving chopsticks!"
"I know, I'm a person of principle."
After saying that, he proudly raised his chin at Zhou Yunting.
Its tail would practically be sticking up to the sky.
Zhou Yunting couldn't help but find his expression amusing.
"I'll eat outside Jiang Zhiqing's kitchen today."
Maddie held up the sweet and sour pork he had picked up and looked at his leg.
"Zhou Zhiqing, it was worth it to break your leg!"
Zhou Yunting thought Ma Debi was quite an interesting person.
"I also think it's worth it."
At that time, resources were scarce, and it was not easy to even eat meat, let alone sweet and sour pork.
Ten pieces for two yuan, and after considering their own wallets, a big reunion of twenty or thirty yuan wasn't out of the question.
That's all our family's wealth!
Two yuan for ten slices of sweet and sour pork, that's extravagant, too extravagant.
Wang Jianguo couldn't help but stand up and walk up to Jiang Wenwan, saying:
"I want two yuan's worth too. I don't believe your sweet and sour pork can be that delicious!"
Zhou Yunting's eyes narrowed when he saw him.
He had been keeping an eye on Wang Jianguo these past few days, but fortunately, Jiang Wenwan really didn't care about him.
And it was only because he cared about that educated youth, Hu, that he felt at ease.
Upon seeing him approach, Zhou Yunting looked at Jiang Wenwan.
Jiang Wenwan glanced at him as if she sensed something, then said to Wang Jianguo:
No, there's just enough for us to eat.
There's no extra for you.
"Jiang Wenwan, did you do this on purpose?"
Are you still angry with me?
Even if we can't be engaged, does that mean we can't even be friends?
"It's lunchtime, can you please stop bothering me?"
Zhou Yunting put down his bowl and chopsticks and was about to stand up when Ma Debi called out from the other side:
“Wang Zhiqing, are you trying to deliberately provoke Jiang Zhiqing so that she will break your legs and then feed you?”
When Wang Jianguo heard him say that, he felt his leg was still hurting!
Only he could come up with such an idea.
"Hey, I'm telling you, don't even think about it. Why don't you come over here? I'll sell it to you for three yuan if it's two yuan."
"Cough cough cough,"
These words made Jiang Wenwan laugh. What a clever middleman making a profit!
Everyone in the educated youth settlement was speechless at Ma Debi's words.
Wang Jianguo was so angry he laughed.
"Ma Zhiqing, do you think I look like a sucker?"
Ma Debi shook his head very seriously.
“You don’t look like it,” but you are.
He didn't say the last sentence aloud, but he did say:
"It's a matter of one party willing to give and the other willing to receive, but let me tell you, the sweet and sour pork that Jiang Zhiqing made is really delicious. You'll regret it for the rest of your life if you don't try it."
Hu Qinghua pouted.
"What's the big deal? We can cook it too, since the village distributed pork this afternoon."
Why should I waste my money buying it from her?
Upon hearing her words, Wang Jianguo paused for a moment before nodding.
"That's true."
It's not that Jiang Wenwan looks down on those two, well, it's that she looks down on Hu Qinghua and Tan Yumiao.
One, not concerned with trivial matters.
If Hu Qinghua, who has never cooked at home, could make sweet and sour pork, it would mean she wasn't a native cook.
In the afternoon, Jiang Wenwan still had the task of feeding a basket of pig feed.
Seeing that Master Zhang and his group of more than a dozen people were heading into the mountains, they were quite impressive, a large and imposing group.
Those who know the area think they're going to hunt wild animals, but those who don't might think they're going to massacre the entire mountain!
Jiang Wenwan was outside gathering pig feed when she saw a pheasant fly over.
A rabbit came running by after a while, startled by the commotion in the mountains, and ran away in a panic.
She certainly couldn't let it go; with her slingshot in hand, she hit the target every time.
In no time, she had caught five pheasants.
Leave one outside and put the other four inside.
There are three rabbits; two are kept inside the enclosure, and one is left outside.
Perhaps knowing that it was dangerous for her, the pheasants and rabbits rarely ran towards her and instead darted in other directions.
