Chapter 654: Halved Beef
"What a stupid look!"
Jiang Fubao frowned and cursed out what was in his heart.
My family is so nice to my aunt.
After my aunt got married, they gave her money and helped her a lot. Even though they couldn't make a good living themselves, they were still worried that my aunt would suffer in her husband's family.
But my aunt is so heartless!
She pretends not to see the efforts of her family members.
What a stupid thing! She deserves all the suffering she has endured!
"Never mind, I'm hungry, let's go eat."
Jiang Fubao was too lazy to think about it anymore. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She got up and went to the backyard. You know, her second sister stewed beef today. Although it was beef from old cows, cows here cannot be slaughtered at will, so they only happen once a year.
It's really rare.
The meat from old cows is a bit tough.
If you cook it for a longer time and add more seasoning, it won't taste bad.
"Second sister, what else is there for lunch besides beef stew?" Coming to the backyard, Jiang Fubao faintly smelled a halite scent.
"We're having an all-beef feast today. There's your favorite beef stewed with potatoes. I also salinated the beef. Oh, and there's also beef soup. Um, let's have some fried beef slices with chili peppers. Do you like that?" Jiang Ruyi held a spatula, stuck her head out, and said to Jiang Fubao.
She had been braising the beef for the entire morning, adding various spices and cooking it till it was fully flavored and fragrant.
The key is that it can be placed, and if you can’t finish it, it can be kept for at least five or six days without going bad.
"I like it. Has the halved beef been delivered to the snack shop?" Jiang Fubao asked.
"Of course." How could Jiang Ruyi forget her family?
"Make two more portions and send them to the Dong family. One portion will be for Grandpa to eat, and one portion will be sent to Brother Bujiu by Grandpa."
As for fucking dad and fucking mom.
It’s a bit far, so forget it.
Not only is it troublesome to send it over, but it also doesn't taste as fresh anymore.
It takes at least two days to go back and forth.
"Okay, Chun'er, you take charge of delivering it. Remember to cut it thinner. Dong Shan has bad teeth. If it's cut too thick, it will be inconvenient for him to eat. The other portion doesn't need to be cut too thin. You're the only one who's been to Dong's house here. Remember to go early and come back early, or we'll have finished eating by the time you come back."
Jiang Ruyi pointed at the brine beef and spoke to a younger maid.
"Okay, Miss, I'll go cut the beef right away."
Chun'er always had a smile on her face. There was a pear-shaped curl on each side of her small mouth, which made her look very cute.
Jiang Fubao has already entered the house.
She held the storybook that she hadn't finished reading yesterday, waiting for dinner.
Jiang Sanhe, who passed by Jiang Fubao Clinic, came to the Food Street.
This path has the residents' back door on the left and a small river on the right. The location is particularly good, so the price is naturally not low.
Anyone who can open a shop or live here must be rich or noble.
"Selling cabbages, freshly picked this morning, each one only costs one copper plate, they are big and tender, and are delicious when used to make soup or stir-fry meat, and they are sweet, as sweet as honey—"
Jiang Sanhe shouted loudly.
Zhang Jinlan, who was having dinner, happened to hear it.
"Is anyone selling cabbage outside? It just so happens that Jiang Meng and Jiang Cheng didn't plant cabbage this year. They planted potatoes instead. There's no cabbage to eat at home. Old family, go buy some cabbage. It will be delicious to cook bone soup in the evening. Fubao loves soup the most."
Thinking of her granddaughter, Zhang Jinlan asked Zhu Yingqiu to buy some cabbage.
The soup made with cabbage and pork ribs tastes fresh and sweet, almost as delicious as radish.
"Okay, I'll go right away." Zhu Yingqiu had just finished her meal. She put the empty bowl in the basin, wiped her mouth, and opened the back door to buy cabbage.
"Cabbage seller, how do you sell these cabbages?" As soon as he walked out, Zhu Yingqiu saw an old woman carrying a basket and standing at the door of a neighbor two houses away.
It seems that the neighbors also bought cabbage.
Zhu Yingqiu walked over and shouted.
As a result, Jiang Sanhe turned around and stood there in a daze.
"How do you sell cabbage?" Seeing that she ignored him, Zhu Yingqiu thought she didn't hear him clearly, so she asked again.
Jiang Sanhe still stared without saying a word.
"I'm talking to you, why are you ignoring me? How can you do business like this?" No matter how good-tempered Zhu Yingqiu was, he became angry.
Liu, a neighbor who was counting copper coins, interrupted.
"The cabbages here are only one cent each. If you buy five, you get one for free. Do you want to buy some? They look good."
"I would like to buy it, but she ignores me. Hey, are you selling it or not?" Zhu Yingqiu stretched out his hand and waved it in front of her.
"Sister-in-law." Jiang Sanhe called out with a pale face.
Zhu Yingqiu was scared silly.
"What did you call me?" She looked at Jiang Sanhe with confusion on her face.
After looking carefully several times, she finally recognized that the old woman in front of her was her sister-in-law who was not very smart.
How did it become what it is today?
She thought it was some forty-year-old woman.
It's only been a few years, but you've grown so old.
How much suffering he must have endured.
"Don't call me sister-in-law. I don't have a sister-in-law." Zhu Yingqiu frowned and did not get close to her.
The reason why I can have a daughter is because of my sister-in-law's cruelty, who even wants to sell her own flesh and blood.
The same kind of people as the Sun family.
She was very unhappy, even disgusted, and when she heard Jiang Sanhe calling her sister-in-law, she turned around and was about to leave.
"Sister-in-law, where is mother?" Jiang Sanhe pulled her and asked about Zhang Jinlan.
"What does it have to do with you?" Zhu Yingqiu glared at her.
"She must be in the shop. I'll go see mom." Jiang Sanhe pretended not to see the look. She put down her carrying pole and ran to the snack shop.
Because it’s only two houses away, it’s only a few dozen steps away.
The back door is open.
As soon as I stepped in, I saw my mother eating with a bowl in her hands. There seemed to be meat in the bowl.
Her mouth was full of oil.
"Mom——" Jiang Sanhe shouted.
"What are you doing here?" If she only looked at the face, Zhang Jinlan might not recognize him.
But Jiang Sanhe's voice has not changed over the years, and Zhang Jinlan reacted immediately.
With a cold face, she just glanced at her daughter, then turned her head and continued eating.
The brine beef in the bowl was prepared by her granddaughter and sent by the maid, so it couldn't be wasted.
"Mom, I know I was wrong." Jiang Sanhe didn't know if he suddenly had an idea or what.
She rushed over and knelt directly in front of Zhang Jinlan.
His face was full of tears.
"You did nothing wrong. I was the one who was wrong." Zhang Jinlan was not soft-hearted at all.
She sneered and didn't want to eat the delicious food in the bowl anymore.
"Mother, I really know I was wrong. I have had a hard time these years. Mother, why don't you come to see me? Do you really not have me in your heart? And Guangzong, you are his grandmother, but Guangzong doesn't even know who you are or what you look like. Mother, don't you want to see Guangzong? He is ten years old and has grown tall and strong..."
However, before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by her brother Jiang Eryong.
"No, we can't stand seeing your grandson's precious son, who was sent to the county government office to be beaten. What good can this kid be? I don't know how you taught him. You have ruined a good child. Don't bring him here, or he will empty my Jiang family's shop. Where can I go to seek justice then?"
