Chapter 250: Pickled in Sauce
Most of the time, renting a house depends on introductions from acquaintances. Jiang Wanwan found a house for Qin Xiaoye last time and got to know quite a few people there.
I spent two dollars these two days asking someone to inquire around and found a house that is about ten minutes away from the food factory. The monthly rent is five dollars, the house is 30 square meters, and there is a small kitchen outside.
The advantage is that it is cheap, but the inconvenience is that you have to live with the landlord.
Li Yu was alone, and a bad place became a good place. The landlord's son and daughter-in-law were very successful and worked in the city, so she was alone at home.
Jiang Wanwan is still worried about Li Yu living alone. Aunt He is a nice person, and it is good for both of them to keep each other company.
The weather was cold, so Aunt He lit the kang in the small room two days ago, so the room was warm.
In addition to a small kang, there was also a table in the room. The washbasin and kettle were all old, but they were free of charge, and there was even a set of bedding.
Li Yu didn't need to prepare anything and could go to bed directly.
Jiang Wanwan first paid Li Yu one month's rent, put down her luggage, took her to the department store to buy cloth and needles and thread, and then took her to the Silian Hair Salon to get a haircut.
Her hair was badly cut by the hair collector. Jiang Wanwan was afraid that she would be laughed at and isolated when she went to the factory. The hairdresser had good skills and trimmed her hair into a good outline, so that her future hairstyle would look good.
Li Yu looked at herself in the mirror and saw that she had a new look.
She couldn't help but reach out and grab her hair. Her hair was not long, her bangs were neat, and there were no extra burrs at the back. The rough hair roots that had been shaved by the hairdresser were trimmed off, making her look clean, refreshed and neat.
The weather now is neither too cold nor too hot, which is suitable for making braised pork in clear sauce. After leaving the barber shop, Jiang Wanwan used the money and tickets on her body to buy 30 kilograms of lean and fatty pork butt meat.
Seeing that she was small, the boss found an old and unwanted basket for her to carry.
Without waiting for Jiang Wanwan to take it, Li Yu rushed forward and put the basket on her wrist. She was very strong and walked very fast with the meat on her wrist.
Jiang Wanwan did not try to snatch it from her. Li Yu was a very grateful person. He would feel uneasy if he didn't do something after receiving her benefits, so he simply let her do some work to make him feel better.
She was not sure how to make braised pork in soy sauce, so she called Master Su Jiu and asked for the specific recipe.
Master Su Jiu likes braised pork in soy sauce and he can make it himself. When Jiang Wanwan calls him, he doesn't need to ask around and just tells her the method of making braised pork in soy sauce, the details and things to pay attention to.
Jiang Wanwan took out her notebook and memorized the key points.
"Thank you, Master Jiu."
Master Su Jiu: "I asked Lao Zhou to carve the longevity peaches and bats on the red part of the material you asked me to make last time. It just so happened that someone wanted to give it to Master Cheng, so I sold it for more than 400 yuan. I have asked Pingshan to mail the money to you."
"I also bought some Beijing specialties, fabrics, and study materials. You can arrange them yourself after you receive them."
Jiang Wanwan tightened her grip on the phone: "Grandpa Jiu, don't send it all to me, keep some for yourself."
She dared to say that Uncle Jiu would not touch a single cent of the money from the sales, but instead paid for the purchases out of his own pocket.
"I have food and drink, why should I leave anything behind? But you, with your brother, have to be on guard against Jiang Lian and Cheng Shiguan. Life is not easy, so it's more important to have some money on you."
Mr. Su Jiu hadn't seen Jiang Wanwan and Jiang Jun for a long time, and he was still thinking about them, so why would he use Jiang Wanwan's money?
Without waiting for Jiang Wanwan to persuade him, Mr. Su Jiu hung up the phone.
Jiu Ye is too stubborn.
Be stubborn and be nice to them.
Jiang Wanwan put down the phone, took Li Yu to buy some seasonings, and prepared to send her back.
Li Yu carried the basket and resolutely refused to go to the alley: "I know the way. I can go to the factory to report for work by myself."
The meat is very heavy, Sister Jiang will tire her hands out.
Jiang Wanwan was helpless: "Give me the meat, and we'll carry it together."
Thirty kilograms of meat and several kilograms of seasonings, and she was also afraid that Li Yu, who was as thin as a sugarcane (much thinner than sugarcane), would break from fatigue.
Can Li Yu listen to such words?
The more Jiang Wanwan emphasized, the faster she ran.
Jiang Wanwan was so scared that she didn't dare to say anything: "I won't fight with you for it, just walk slowly."
Only then did Li Yu slow down.
She delivered the basket to the entrance of the family compound: "Sister Wanwan, I'm going to go back and pack my things first."
Jiang Wanwan was puzzled: "Eat here and then go back."
Li Yu refused: "There are too many things. I will go back first."
After saying that, she turned around and left without anything in her hands, so Jiang Wanwan had no chance of catching up with her.
Qin Xiao also saw Jiang Wanwan coming back and came out to help her carry her things: "Wow, why did you buy so much meat?"
What a big lump.
"Jiang Wanwan, do you want to make me fat to death?"
Regardless, Qin Xiao also held the left side of the basket and moved the meat in with Jiang Wanwan.
Jiang Wanwan exerted force to lift the basket, and felt a force pushing her down in the palm of her hand.
Wow!
So heavy!
Li Yu looks skinny, so how come he is so strong?
Qin Xiaoye was quite strong. Seeing Jiang Wanwan struggling, he clicked his tongue twice and said, "Come on, Xingjiang wife, if you can't move it, don't move it. It's okay if you're tired. When your husband comes back, he'll be worried for several days."
Jiang Wanwan glared at her and let go: "Then you carry it yourself."
Qin Xiao also picked up the basket and glanced at Jiang Wanwan. Although there was nothing in it, one could feel a deep sense of mockery.
Jiang Wanwan looked down at her red palms.
Being raised so delicately by Chen Xingjiang?
Suddenly she felt a little fortunate that Li Yu insisted on sending her back, otherwise she might not be able to walk back at night.
Qin Xiao also looked at the meat on the kitchen floor: "Why did you buy so much meat? Aren't you afraid it will go bad?"
If it doesn’t snow, the meat won’t last long. It will go bad in two days, let alone three or four days.
"I want to make pork with clear sauce."
Jiang Wanwan found a jar in the house that could hold 30 kilograms of meat, half a person's height. She pulled it to the well and washed it several times with melon pulp, brushing it inside and out until it was shiny and clear enough to see people through it.
Qin Xiao was also standing at the door, huddling his shoulders and leaning against the wooden door frame.
She looked pure and lovely with her long hair, but her movements revealed a girlish air without any coolness: "Do you know who you look like now?"
Jiang Wanwan had a hunch that she was up to no good.
"explain."
Qin Xiaoye: "You are very much like Qin Botang now. The way you stir the pot when cooking is no different from a chicken's feet digging in a pile of corn. It is no different from Qin Botang's confidence that he can win back his money with profit."
"You are frighteningly confident."
After listening to Jiu Ye's detailed tutorial, Jiang Wanwan was indeed very confident.
She couldn't bear to see Qin Xiaoya hit her when she was confident: "Bullshit, how can I be the same as Qin Botang? At least I can make a few home-cooked stir-fries."
Qin Xiaoye: "You also said it was a home-cooked dish. What is braised pork in soy sauce? It is recorded in "A Hundred Poems on Food in the Ancient Capital" and praised. The meat in the ancient capital tastes better than that in the south of the Yangtze River, and the soy sauce is also delicious. Jinhua ham and Guangdong bacon are the three best."
She saw this book on Cheng Hanzhang's desk and was deeply impressed by the braised pork in clear sauce.
After buying the meat, Jiang Wanwan refused to admit defeat: "Just wait and see, I can definitely make it!"
