Chapter 015: The Magical Use of Space
Uncle Chen gave him a meaningful look. "Cost equals loss. I heard a new employee has joined the company to take on the government orders with your father. They plan to sell the tempered glass to the government at a high price."
So Jing's father was fine in his previous life because he didn't block other people's financial path. But in this life, did a butterfly effect occur because Jingshu asked for tempered glass?
Uncle Chen blew out a smoke ring. "The best outcome would be to add the profits from the tempered glass and put an end to this matter. After all, the money from the share withdrawal is only temporary, and dividends are the long-term solution. Go back and persuade your father to admit his mistake. After all, Mr. Wang still has some feelings for him."
This was really an unexpected blessing in disguise. Jingshu had originally been thinking about how to get Jingba to withdraw his shares. After all, Jingba had worked there for more than 20 years and had a lot of feelings for the company. Unexpectedly, due to a coincidence, he would be fired and his shares would be withdrawn. Now he would have some money to buy supplies.
"Okay." Jingshu tried hard to make a sad expression, for fear that she would not be able to hold back her laughter and that she might be a fake daughter.
After finishing the work at the villa, Jingshu went home early to prepare a shrimp feast to reward Jing's father's injured heart.
Hundreds of prawns larger than 8 centimeters were fished out and transferred to an independent space of 1 cubic meter. Jingshu used her absolute control over everything in the space to quickly clean and devein the prawns, peeled some shrimps, opened some backs and marinated them with cooking wine, soy sauce and salt, and prepared auxiliary ingredients such as chopped green onions, shredded ginger, and crushed garlic.
In reality, it takes at least one or two hours just to clean and remove the shrimp thread, and it can be done in Jingzhong space.
Put rice in a pot and cook a big pot of porridge, fry the shrimp heads and boil the shrimp oil, put the shrimp oil and shrimp into the pot, add seasoning and continue to cook, while frying the minced garlic, brush the baking tray with oil, skewer the prawns, sprinkle with garlic, and bake in the oven for ten minutes.
Pour oil into the pot and stir-fry the prawns, then remove them from the pot, add more oil and add ginger and garlic and stir-fry until fragrant. Stir-fry the tomato sauce until the oil turns red, add the prawns and seasonings, bring to a boil over high heat, cover and simmer over low heat, add the scallion slices after two minutes and simmer over high heat until the sauce is reduced. Jingshu licked it and nodded, then served the braised prawns on a plate!
Heat water in a pot, add ginger and scallions, and bring to a boil. Add the shrimp and cook for 1 minute. Remove from the pot and place on a plate. Add dipping sauce and serve the boiled shrimp.
Coat the remaining marinated shrimp with starch, egg liquid and breadcrumbs, put them in a pan with hot oil, fry them on low heat until golden brown, and serve the breadcrumb-fried shrimp.
Beat 6 eggs, add water and salt, add shrimp, wrap with plastic wrap and start steaming. After steaming, drizzle with steamed fish soy sauce and sesame oil, and serve a dish of shrimp steamed egg.
The oven made a dripping sound, and Jingshu took out the last dish of roasted garlic prawns and placed it on the table. The shrimp porridge was bubbling and emitting a rich aroma. She would sprinkle it with chopped green onions and serve when her parents came back.
As soon as Jing's father opened the door, he could smell the aroma of food filling the house. There was something roasted, fried, and even something as delicious as a thick soup. Jingshu poked her head out with sauce on the corner of her mouth and said, "I cooked..."
Who knew there were three people following Jing's father!
"Wow, I knew it smelled so good, it definitely wasn't made by Aunt Su." Sun Zijian, with acne all over his face, walked in first, holding the hand of a girl wearing a miniskirt and a leather coat.
"Sun Zijian?" Jingshu shouted in surprise. Although Sun Zijian had acne all over his face at that time, he was tall and fat, not like he would be ten years later when he was so skinny.
"Jingshu, this is my girlfriend Xiaocao. Your dad said he'd celebrate my birthday and we're going out for a meal." Sun Zijian reached out and grabbed a fried shrimp and stuffed it into his mouth. "Fuck, this is so delicious. Dad, let's eat at Uncle Jing's house."
Jingshu clenched her fists tightly, closed her eyes, and held back. She had to hold back. If she hit Sun Zijian here, Jing's father would be in a passive position, and their family would have even more reason not to pay back the money.
"Okay, we'll eat wherever you say." Uncle Sun was very fair ten years ago, with a typical beer belly, unlike Jing's father who insisted on exercising to maintain his figure.
"Hello, sister." Xiaocao's coquettish voice made Jingshu shu shudder. She kept her arms around Sun Zijian's arms, swaying from side to side, with a timid look on her face, as if only Sun Zijian could give her safety.
This really helped Sun Zijian a lot.
"Let's eat. Why are these shrimps so delicious?" Sun Zijian had already picked up the shrimp skewers and started eating them. He also told Xiaocao not to be polite and to treat him as his own, as if he was the owner.
"My mother hasn't come back yet!" Jing Shu felt as disgusted as if a dog had beated her. The carefully prepared meal was taken away by an uneducated person.
It’s ruined. Jingshu’s little universe is about to explode and she can’t hold it in any longer!
Jing's father asked Uncle Sun to sit down and said, "Your mother came home very late after working overtime. We won't wait for her."
"Then I'll leave one portion for you." Jingshu picked up the pot and pushed each portion out with force, while telling herself to stay calm and not be impulsive.
"Hey, hey, hey, there aren't many to begin with, and if you make more, it will be gone. Aunt Su can't eat so much..." Sun Zijian pulled Jingshu's arm and complained, but was frightened by Jingshu's vicious look and held back his words. "Really? It's my birthday, isn't it?"
Jingshu wanted to beat up the ungrateful family from her previous life who colluded with each other to open the door. Of course, she couldn't give them a good face and was too lazy to even put on an act.
Each of them had a big bowl of fresh shrimp porridge, and they finished all kinds of delicious and juicy shrimps at lightning speed. Among them, Jingshu was the fastest. She picked up the grilled shrimp, opened her mouth, and gently tore the whole shrimp into her mouth with her hands. A big spoonful of steamed egg with shrimp melted in her mouth. Then she grabbed the shrimp tail and bit off the fried shrimp. She grabbed the shrimp with her other hand and used both hands to coordinate with her mouth.
The delicate Xiaocao didn't care about her image anymore. She picked up only the shrimps from the steamed egg with shrimps with her chopsticks. Sun Zijian was so anxious that his hands were covered with red oil after peeling the shrimps. He took the steamed egg and scooped it into his mouth with a spoon. He finished all the shrimps with two bites.
Dad Jing hesitated several times to talk about paying back the money, but the company suddenly asked him to pay back the outstanding balance, forcing him to find an excuse to ask Lao Sun out to pay back the money quickly. Coupled with the possibility of him being fired by the company, Dad Jing's mood reached its lowest point.
"Hey, Dad, bring some back for Mom." The grandson was still not satisfied after finishing the meal. He drank three bowls of shrimp porridge in a row and couldn't eat any more.
Jingshu admires the fact that people would pack up another portion after eating at someone else's house.
Jing's father was so obsessed with money that he ignored Sun Zijian. In the past, he would definitely have taken the initiative to bring a copy for Sun Zijian.
"You have to ask Jingshu about this." Uncle Sun's mouth was also full of oil. He was a picky eater and had never eaten such delicious shrimps, especially shrimp porridge.
"Jingshu, give your mother a share." Sun Zijian said with a grin.
"Aunt Wang will definitely like such delicious food." Xiaocao showed her reserved look again.
They were like this in their previous life. Because Jing's father and mother told them to treat the family as their own, they really did treat it as their own. Jing's father has always been grateful and never thought there was anything wrong with it.
"My mother is looking forward to having a meal cooked by me. This is homework and cannot be divided." Jingshu refused directly without leaving any room for negotiation.
Sun Zijian snorted, "This is the first time I've gone to someone else's house and haven't had enough to eat. Xiaocao, let's go out for a barbecue."
"Okay, Brother Zijian, I'm not full either."
