Chapter 32 Hotel Benefits
"Puchi," Sun Chaoying laughed and looked at Li Xiangcao with a mocking expression.
Li Xiangcao was unhappy. "Hey, Sun Chaoying, what are you looking at? Am I wrong? The first three months are fragile. Look at that person, isn't he..."
Li Xiangcao, who was speaking, glanced at the expressionless Chen Xiaomei and was stunned for a moment. Then she waved her hand and said, "Forget it, forget it. It's my fault for being nosy. No one appreciates it." After that, she slipped away.
Chen Xiaomei rolled her eyes at her back, "Mind your own business and you'll get into trouble."
Sun Chaoying patted Chen Xiaomei's hand and comforted her: "Xiaomei, don't worry, she is just like that, she is bad with her mouth."
Chen Xiaomei forced a smile, "Sister Ying, I'm fine. It's over." Then she looked at Jiang Xinbai and reminded her, "Although Aunt Li's words are unpleasant, you have to be careful if you are really pregnant."
"Xiaomei is right, but don't worry, we will all help you." Sun Chaoying also said.
Although Jiang Xinbai didn't understand what happened to Chen Xiaomei, she knew that she was doing it for her own good, so she smiled and nodded.
In the evening, after the guests left, Jiang Xinbai and his friends began to clean up.
Sun Chaoying looked in the direction of the kitchen and whispered, "Xinbai, come later, there are good things."
Jiang Xinbai was a little curious, but still nodded obediently.
In the kitchen, Chen Tiande looked at the braised food and thought for a moment before asking, "Who wants one? I'll give you some today without tickets."
Li Xiangcao was the first to react. She looked at the pot with greed and took a deep breath. "Master Chen, how do you charge for these?"
Chen Tiande raised his chin towards her and said, "Go, call those people outside in."
Li Xiangcao quickly ran outside, "Master Chen is calling you to come in, hurry up."
Jiang Xinbai and the others looked at each other, their eyes lit up, and they responded cheerfully, "Okay, I'll be right there." After putting the brooms in the grocery room, they quickly walked into the kitchen.
"Here it is," Chen Tiande nodded at them, "I braised some food this morning. If you want any, just pay for it. We've made an agreement in advance. Keep it secret and don't tell anyone." Jiang Xinbai was the only newcomer here, so he was naturally talking to her.
Jiang Xinbai nodded repeatedly, "I know that, Master Chen."
"I'll keep a pig's trotter, a piece of large intestine, and two pieces of pork belly for myself. You can divide the rest among yourselves. If there's any left, just give it to me."
Chen Tiande first took out a large pig's trotter and a large intestine from the pot. Then he pointed at the remaining things in the pot and continued, "A pig's trotter is 80 cents, a large intestine is 10 cents, and pork belly is 50 cents. You can see for yourself!"
In order to make it easier to calculate the price, Chen Tiande sells them by the piece or in a row, saving the trouble of weighing them back and forth.
Li Xiangcao quickly squeezed forward, opened her lunch box, and smiled at Master Chen: "Master Chen, give me a piece of pork belly and pour more soup."
Chen Tiande nodded and took a small piece of pork belly from the pot. Although it was small, it was still about 150 grams. According to the normal price of pork, 150 grams was 345 cents, and the meat coupons had to be added. But this braised pork didn't require meat coupons, and only charged 50 cents. No matter how you looked at it, they were making a profit.
Jiang Xinbai looked at the pork belly in Li Xiangcao's lunch box, gritted her teeth, and thought that after they had finished choosing, if there was any left, she would also have one.
"Hey, Master, just give me a large intestine." Zhao Xiaoluo also took out the lunch box with a smile.
"Then I'll have a piece of pork belly and a large intestine." This is Sun Chaoying. After saying this, she smiled at Tiande and said, "It just so happens that someone is coming to our house tonight, so I'll have more."
Chen Xiaomei glanced at the pot in confusion. Seeing that there was only one pig's trotter and two large intestines left, she turned to look at Jiang Xinbai and said, "Xinbai, why don't you choose first?"
Jiang Xinbai quickly waved his hands, "Sister Xiaomei, you choose first, it doesn't matter whether I choose it or not." But he didn't think so in his heart. He just hoped that Chen Xiaomei would show mercy.
Chen Xiaomei looked much more relaxed after hearing this. After thinking about it, she decided to order a pig's trotter and a large intestine. "The person in my family loves to eat the pig's trotters braised by Master Chen. Fortunately, I met him today." The most important thing is not to ask for a ticket.
Chen Tiande scooped some food out of the pot and looked up at Jiang Xinbai, "There's only one large intestine left, do you want more? If you can't eat it, I'll keep it for myself."
"Yes, yes, I want it." Jiang Xinbai said quickly and handed over his lunch box.
Chen Tiande glanced at Jiang Xinbai, and after taking out the large intestine, he poured a full spoonful of stew into the lunch box, "Take it home and cook a dish!"
"Oh, okay, thank you Master Chen." Jiang Xinbai thanked Chen Tiande with a smile.
"Okay, go back. I'll lock the door myself later."
"Okay, then I'll be leaving first. Master Chen, you should go home early too." After Jiang Xinbai finished speaking, he rushed home with his lunch box. If he went back quickly, he could still catch up with dinner.
At the Jiang family's house, Sun Erni looked at the door and urged, "Jinsheng, go check. Why hasn't Xinbai come back at this time today?"
"Okay, I'll go right away." Yang Jinsheng was also worried, but as soon as he opened the door, Jiang Xinbai was standing at the door with a small shoulder bag on his back.
Jiang Xinbai straightened his chest and strode in.
Li Huifen saw her expression and laughed, "Hey, Third Sister-in-law, are you here for a leader's inspection?"
Jiang Xinbai glanced at Li Huifen and shook his head gently, "Sister-in-law, you don't understand." Then he took out a lunch box from his bag and handed it to his mother-in-law, saying proudly, "Mom, add another dish."
Sun Erni quickly took the lunch box from her daughter-in-law and weighed it. Hmm, it wasn't too heavy. She gently opened it and asked, "Braised large intestine? Where did you get it?"
Su Qiuyan sniffed and said with a smile: "Mom, look at what you said, Xinbai works in a state-owned restaurant, so it must be bought in the store."
"Er Ni, go and start cutting it. I like it this way. Jin Sheng, find my bottle of wine and let's have a drink today." Yang Fugui said with a cheerful smile.
Sun Erni rolled her eyes at him and said, "Look at you, you are so beautiful today. Xiaobai, I will give you the money you spent."
Jiang Xinbai smiled and said, "It's not much. No need, Mom. Just consider it as adding a dish to the family."
"You're so generous, third brother's wife." Yang Jinqiang gave a thumbs up. He also loved it. The third brother had brought some home before, but it was too troublesome to deal with and his mother didn't want to deal with it, so they rarely ate it at home.
"Stop talking nonsense. There is enough food for tonight. I'll just cut a little for you to try. We can eat the rest tomorrow." Sun Erni weighed the portion and thought it was enough for at least two meals. The soup could also be used to cook vegetables to add flavor.
Jiang Xinbai refused to give in. She held her mother-in-law's hand and said coquettishly, "Mom, please don't. Try it while it's fresh. I've been craving it all the way."
"Yes, Mom, it might go bad if left overnight. That would be such a pity. Let's cut it all up!"
"Grandma, we want to eat meat too~" The three little girls also pulled Sun Erni's thighs and kept shouting.
Sun Erni couldn't stand it any longer. "Alright, alright, I've given you all to eat. I really owe you some. But you must remember that it was brought back by your aunt. Why don't you thank her quickly?"
After hearing this, the three little girls hurriedly thanked Jiang Xinbai, "Thank you, auntie~"
Jiang Xinbai subconsciously touched his stomach and said with a smile: "Okay, sit down quickly, you can eat meat soon."
Su Qiuyan had sharp eyes and noticed Jiang Xinbai's action immediately. She blurted out, "Xinbai, are you feeling uncomfortable in your stomach?"
In an instant, the whole family's eyes were focused on Jiang Xinbai's belly.
