Chapter 146 Just Provide Meals
The price of pork has skyrocketed, and beef has also risen along with it. It is now three yuan per catty. Three catties is fifteen yuan.
It was a generous gift, but after giving it away, Fatty Liu didn't forget to add, "I haven't had dinner yet tonight!"
Lu Xiang smiled. It turned out that he was here, waiting for her.
Fat Liu knows how to buy meat, and he buys beef ribs. This kind of meat is delicious no matter how it is cooked.
Lu Xiang invited Liu Pang in and planned to cut two pounds of stewed beef to make the sauce, and braise the rest.
The beef was very tender, becoming soft and tender after just a short stew. Finally, the rich broth was poured over it, and the aroma was so overwhelming that even Fatty Liu couldn't walk. He kept sneaking into their kitchen, staring at the pot with wide eyes, full of affection.
Lu Xiang saw Fatty Liu and said, "I have three pounds left to make braised beef. I plan to take it with you when you go back!"
Although Fatty Liu was greedy, he waved his hand when he heard Lu Xiang's arrangement: "That won't work. How can we take this gift back?"
Although he hasn't tasted the beef made by Lu Xiang yet, he knows it must be delicious just by smelling it.
Someone also said beside him: "The steel factory wants to hire you to cook with a high salary!" Kitchen work is a good job. If Lu Xiang had not conquered everyone with her cooking skills, it would have been impossible for her to enter the kitchen.
But Lu Xiang said, "No! I have things to do in the village."
Fatty Liu said, "It's so difficult to move jobs and transfer files these days! Everyone wants to move to the county, why are you so unmoved?"
Lu Xiang smiled but said nothing. She was waiting for 1983. She didn't yearn for a stable job, and planned to do something on her own once the planned economy began. But she couldn't tell Liu Pang about this either.
I had to change the subject and said, "Look, there are cucumbers over there. They taste pretty good."
When Fat Liu took a look, he saw that the cucumbers and tomatoes were indeed red, as well as other vegetables, some red and some green, which were pleasing to the eye.
He picked up a tomato and took a bite. It was juicy and fleshy, and tasted sweet and sour. It was not much worse than summer strawberries.
He ate up the persimmon in just a few bites, and after that he wanted to eat a second one.
A tomato was only the size of a fist. Lu Xiang said, "If you like it, you can take the rest. Don't eat too much for now, or you won't be able to eat meat later!"
Fatty Liu said, "You underestimate me. I can still eat meat no matter how much I eat."
Fatty Liu ate a tomato and said, "You guys are amazing here. You can grow such delicious vegetables!"
Lu Xiang said, "Don't underestimate the dishes here. They are very sophisticated and are all new varieties taught by the professor!"
When Liu Pang heard this, he was amazed: "It really is a great place with outstanding people and beautiful scenery!" Then he picked up another cucumber. It was also crispy and sweet.
After a while, they finished two of them and ate several persimmons. Fat Liu said, "My grandma hasn't had much appetite recently. I want to buy some." Fat Liu is a very filial person.
His father is the director of a pig farm, and the family is not short of money. His grandmother has eaten so much meat that she feels like vomiting, and she usually likes to eat vegetarian food. Now it is autumn, and there are only some radishes and cabbages, and such fresh vegetables are hard to buy.
Fat Liu had previously done business with Lu Xiang and made some money, so he said, "I'll order 20 kilograms of cucumbers and 20 kilograms of tomatoes first!" He planned to keep half for his grandmother and eat the other half as fruit himself, no matter how much it cost.
Lu Xiang readily agreed.
Fat Liu said, "I have nothing to do. When are you going to sell it? I'll go with you!" He now admires Lu Xiang very much and thinks that Lu Xiang can do anything.
The last time I set up a stall, I made so much money just by collecting money that my hands were full. Many people have never experienced this in their lives.
Besides, Fatty Liu has a car, so it's convenient for him to go anywhere. He said, "You don't have to pay me, just provide a meal." Then he thought about it and said embarrassedly, "You have to cook it yourself!"
It is usually difficult for Fat Liu to have a meal cooked by Lu Xiang, so it is great to take this opportunity to have a meal.
Lu Xiang said: "Okay!"
After a while, the beef stew was ready. The aroma was fragrant. It was hand-rolled noodles. After cooking, the noodles were rinsed with cold water and were perfectly chewy and springy.
The toppings on top were full of beef, all in large chunks, which looked very satisfying. Fatty Liu was almost full from eating cucumbers and tomatoes just now, and he had no restraint when he encountered delicious food.
Now, smelling the fragrance of the food, he felt hungry again, and his stomach was rumbling, as if reminding him.
After Fu Qinhui and Lu Xiang came to the table, they started eating beef noodles.
Liu Pang has never eaten such a rich stew before. The beef stew has meat tendons inside. It is very delicious.
Just one piece will make you feel satisfied and full. The beef is soft and delicious, and paired with the chewy and chewy noodles, the more you eat, the more you want to eat.
After gulping down a large bowl, he felt extremely comfortable in his stomach. Fatty Liu smiled and said to Fu Qinhui, "It's not you, kid, how come you are so lucky to have such a wife."
He also wants to find a wife who can cook delicious food.
Fu Qinhui smiled slightly when he heard him say that. After finishing the meal, the couple sent Fatty Liu out.
Fat Liu drove out of the village.
As Fat Liu was walking back, he smelled a fragrant aroma from the car. He glanced back. He had previously refused the three pounds of braised beef, and he didn't know when Lu Xiang had brought it. There was still a little broth in it, which would be great with noodles.
In fact, he had not walked far and could send it back to Lu Xiang now. He had said before that he did not want it, but when he smelled this fragrance, he really could not bear to give it up.
The smell is so delicious. Where can I find such caring friends? Liu Pang plans to hang out with them in the future. No matter whether it makes money or not, it is good to be able to eat.
Ever since I got used to eating Lu Xiang’s cooking, everything else seems bland to me.
They planned to go out to sell vegetables the next day, and began to pack up the things they had prepared the day before. Each one looked very exquisite.
The price is 30% higher than the market price in spring.
No one knew whether this thing could be sold.
Vegetables are not like other things. Once picked, they will no longer be fresh if they cannot be sold.
The village chief was also a little nervous. These things were the hope of the whole village. It was not easy for the village to make a little money.
The village chief has always dreamed of buying a tractor, and he pins all his hopes on selling vegetables.
Besides, it is not just their village that is looking forward to it. The old professor's research institute also needs funds. This time, the professors have brought out the new varieties without reservation.
They all have strong skills. Their research institute also holds 40% of the shares, and they are counting on Lu Xiang to sell them out as soon as possible.
Lu Xiang, the women's director, the village chief, and several village cadres planned to go together, but Liu Pang's car could not accommodate so many people. In the end, apart from two large baskets of vegetables, only Lu Xiang and the women's director went to the county.
