Su Jinyan and Aunt Yang prepared lunch together.
Aunt Yang cooked a three-pound sea bass in three different ways.
Fish head, shrimp and tofu soup, steamed fish fillets, spicy braised fish fillets.
The rest are boiled shrimp, stir-fried scallops, abalone and goose egg custard, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, stir-fried bok choy, braised potatoes and eggplant, and smashed cucumbers.
In order to help Su Jinyan learn, it can be said that Aunt Yang made full use of the ingredients and explained other ways to cook these ingredients.
After asking in detail, she found out that although Aunt Yang usually only cooked simple meals, she knew a lot of things.
Although she can't say that she can cook all the dishes from all over the country, in addition to the eight major Chinese cuisines which are quite difficult, she can also cook Beijing cuisine, Tianjin cuisine, Northeastern cuisine, and several others.
After dinner, Su Jinyan helped to clean up the dishes in the kitchen and left.
Grandpa Su and Grandma Su are old and are used to taking a nap after dinner every day. If she is around, Grandma Su always wants to chat with her.
After leaving Grandma Su's house, she took two buses and arrived at the area where her grandmother lived.
Since it was just after lunch time, there were not many people on the street.
Her uncle Xin Guodong came back after she started school. Her father said that he invested a lot of money in the company. However, since he came back in a hurry, the foreign company did not make proper arrangements, so he only stayed with her for a week before returning to Country M.
She had only met him briefly on Sunday. Xin Guodong was going to take a train to Jinshi that afternoon and then take a boat at Jinshi Port. They had a meal together and Xin Guodong gave her and Zhao Yuanyi each a famous Swiss watch and gave her five hundred US dollars.
Due to policy changes and the relationship with Uncle Xin, Grandma and Grandpa Xin are no longer targeted by anyone and dare not make trouble.
When Xin Guodong passed away, he left a lot of money to his grandparents, but most of it was in US dollars.
Now, whether it is exchanging US dollars for RMB or RMB for US dollars, it is very strict. Not to mention the limits, the interest rates charged are also quite high.
What’s more, in this age of banknotes, not to mention the US dollar, even the RMB is useless without a banknote!
She found an empty place near Grandma Xin's house and took out ten kilograms of rice, ten kilograms of flour, five kilograms of millet, twenty eggs, ten goose eggs, two kilograms of pork belly, and a sea bass.
The two might be taking a lunch break, and the door was locked from the inside. She knocked for a long time before she heard the sound of the door opening.
After a while, a puzzled voice came from inside, "Who is it?"
"Grandma, it's me, Yanyan."
"Yanyan?" Grandma Xin said as she opened the door. Looking at Su Jinyan's bags, she asked in confusion, "Baby, why are you here at this time?"
Su Jinyan smiled and said, "Well, I came here after dinner because I had nothing to do."
"Come in quickly."
The two entered the yard, and Grandma Xin locked the door from the inside.
In the past, they did not allow the door to be locked so that they could check at any time. Now, the old couple does not like outsiders to come in and chat, so they lock the door from the inside every day.
The two entered the house, and Grandpa Xin also sat up, "Yanyan is here?"
Su Jinyan smiled and nodded, "Well, this is a very valuable live fish. I'll send it to you, Grandma. I'll find a bucket to keep the fish. You can kill it tonight or tomorrow when you want to eat it."
Then he left the house.
Grandma Xin followed behind, muttering as she walked, "Why did you come all this way to deliver this? You are in a heavy body now, don't run around by yourself. If your grandpa and I want to eat anything now, you can buy it yourselves."
Su Jinyan smiled without saying anything. He took out the fish and threw it into the bucket handed to him by Grandma Xin. Grandma Xin added a few scoops of water into it.
"Grandma, it's hot, the meat won't keep well. How about I make it into braised pork for you?"
"If you make braised pork with this size, your grandfather and I won't be able to finish it in two or three days. It will spoil easily. You can leave it there. You have nothing to do in the afternoon, so you can make oil from the milk."
After more than ten years, Grandma Xin has been used to being frugal, but she still can't bear to eat the whole piece of meat all at once, thinking that she can eat it for a few more days by refining oil.
Su Jinyan nodded, found a small basin to put it in, and then put the rice, flour, eggs and goose eggs in place as if he was familiar with it.
After finishing all this, she took out ten kilograms of food coupons, five kilograms of meat coupons, ten industrial coupons, two soap coupons, and ten Great Unity coupons from her pocket and stuffed them into Grandma Xin's pockets.
"Grandma, please keep these food coupons and meat coupons. If you don't want to cook in the future, go to the restaurant with Grandpa to eat. You can take this money and try to keep the US dollars."
Her brother is abroad, and she has the idea of going abroad. If she can really go abroad, and if it is difficult to exchange dollars, she will exchange them with her grandmother.
Grandma Xin smiled and nodded, not refusing, "Okay."
Their family had no food coupons or meat coupons, so it would seem pretentious if they refused their niece.
Grandma Xin put the money in her pocket and pulled Su Jinyan into the house, "Bao, come here."
The two men entered the house. Grandma Xin looked mysterious. She took out a small shovel from the bottom of the cabinet, broke four bricks on the ground, and began to dig a hole.
When Su Jinyan saw this operation, he had some guesses in his mind.
Not knowing what to do, he sat on the edge of the kang and watched Grandma Xin digging the hole with an iron shovel.
I want to leave but feel bad about it, but if I don’t leave, I still want to wait for good things, which is a bit awkward.
Grandma Xin dug two feet deep and finally found a cloth bag. She held the bag and handed it to Su Jinyan with great interest, "Baby, take these."
"Grandma, no matter what it is, I can't accept it. Don't force me to give you something every time you send me something."
"Isn't it my duty to respect you? Besides, my mother is away from home all year round, isn't it my duty to come and see you more often?"
