Chapter 174 Zha Jiang Mian (noodles with soybean paste)
Yang Anni bought a house in a new residential area.
New residential areas, they all have one thing in common: they are located in remote areas.
To say it's desolate is an understatement; it's definitely not desolate.
Even in remote parts of the capital city, there are villages with inhabitants.
The residential complex that Yang Anni bought is located near a village.
The village is quite large; it takes more than half an hour to walk around it. Most of the houses are old houses in the style of traditional courtyard houses, and there are almost no new self-built houses.
There are only two new residential communities, one of which is the one where Yang Anni lives.
However, although this place is a bit remote, the facilities are quite complete.
Post office, bank, vegetable market, square, everything you could need.
The market is quite large; it's also said to be a wholesale market for vegetables and fruits.
Jiang Jianni couldn't stop exclaiming, "Isn't this just too convenient for you guys?"
This market not only has vegetables, fruits, and various meats, but also various seasonings, daily necessities, and even a few shops selling fabrics, clothes, and shoes.
Yang Anni grinned: "Right? I also think this place is great."
"The fabric here is especially cheap, even cheaper than in our family's shops."
"The chair covers and table covers in my house are made from fabric I bought here."
"They also have lace trim here, but it's a bit expensive. Luckily I didn't buy much, otherwise I would have really felt bad."
Those hoodies all have lace trim, which somehow made the bare room look a bit like an American country style, very cozy.
Jiang Jianni: "...I can tell."
Yang Anni inherited the skillful hands and cleverness of the Yang family girls.
Although Zhao Junshan tried his best to cultivate Yang Anni into a lady, he still made her do things that ordinary women should know, such as cooking, washing, and sewing.
In his mind, a virtuous woman should be able to grace the living room and be equally at home in the kitchen.
She should be able to support her man outside, and also have some skills to make him look good. At home, she should be able to take good care of him in terms of food, clothing, housing, and transportation.
He felt he wasn't fortunate enough to have that blessing.
Yang Yuezhi is indeed very virtuous, but while she is good at managing household affairs and taking care of children, she is not helpful in matters outside the home.
So he worked hard to train Zhao Ailing according to this standard.
As a result, Zhao Ailing learned all sorts of skills, but instead of following the direction he wanted, she used them for her own enjoyment.
If he found out, I wonder if he'd be so angry he'd vomit blood.
A moment later, Jiang Jianni saw the restaurant again and was even more shocked: "There are actually restaurants in the market?"
And it looks like it's still in the cafeteria style.
The meals consisted of two or three dishes and a soup, with staple foods being rice, steamed buns, flatbreads, and baked flatbreads.
The key point is that it smells pretty good.
Is anyone eating here?
She always thought that even if food was sold in the market, it would only be things like cold noodles, rice noodles, rice vermicelli, cold rice noodles, fried rice, and fried pancakes. She never expected that there would be proper stir-fried dishes.
Yes.
They not only serve cafeteria food, but also exquisite stir-fries.
We strive to fully meet the needs of every customer.
Yang Anni smiled smugly: "Right? I think it's good too."
"Sometimes when I don't feel like cooking, I just go out and buy food. I can eat two meals in one go, which saves me a lot of trouble."
"I plan to get a refrigerator voucher and buy a refrigerator."
"Once I have a refrigerator, I'll buy a week's worth of food at once and stuff it all into the fridge."
"Just take it out and heat it up when you want to eat it."
Jiang Jianni gave her a complicated look and said, "Let's not."
"The refrigerator's ability to keep food fresh is just so-so."
"It can only be left for a day or two at most."
"It will still break down over time."
"You're all alone out there, and if you get sick, no one will know. You should be careful."
Yang Anni: "...Then forget it."
She's currently ambitiously working to earn money to buy a second house, so of course she can't afford to get sick.
After strolling around the market, Yang Anni led them to a restaurant outside the market: "The food at the market is actually quite average. It's okay to eat here a few times in the meantime, but it gets boring after a while."
"But there's a place in the village that makes really delicious fried noodles with soybean paste."
She couldn't help but slurp her saliva: "I only found out because I came to eat with other people."
"You'll know once you try it, it's incredibly delicious."
"Really, I'm not kidding, it's incredibly delicious."
Jiang Jianni scoffed: "Isn't Zhajiangmian (noodles with soybean paste) just that? How delicious can it be?"
As a noodle lover, she has eaten many kinds of noodles, including Zhajiangmian (noodles with soybean paste).
I've had a simple version of Zhajiangmian (noodles with soybean paste) made by chopping various vegetables and meats into small cubes, adding water and cornstarch.
I've also had noodles with meat sauce and vegetable toppings served separately.
But even if the methods are exactly the same, the taste of each dish will have its own unique characteristics.
When it comes to the best-tasting, she really hasn't seen any other type of Zhajiangmian that can surpass all the other varieties and leave a lasting impression.
Yang Anni smiled mysteriously: "That's because you haven't tried their food. Theirs is definitely different from others. You'll know once you've tried it."
Jiang Jiani and Lu Xiangyang looked at each other in bewilderment.
When the noodles were served, Jiang Jianni understood why Yang Anni had been so enthusiastic about recommending it.
It smells incredibly rich and savory, with a unique aroma that wafts right into your nose.
Jiang Jianni couldn't help but sniff, wanting to inhale all that pleasant smell into her abdominal cavity.
Yang Anni enthusiastically added all the meat, braised vegetables, pickled garlic, and other toppings to the noodles and stirred vigorously: "Eat up, you guys eat up, it's really delicious!"
As she spoke, she took a bite of pickled garlic, chewed it, swallowed it, and then picked up a mouthful of noodles to eat.
Jiang Jianni took the initiative and said, "Let's eat too."
When she tasted it, Jiang Jianni realized that it was indeed worthy of Yang Anni's strong recommendation.
It smelled good enough, but it tasted even better.
It may not be the best among all the noodles Jiang Jianni has ever eaten, but it is definitely among the top.
Jiang Jianni ate without looking up, and when Lu Xiangyang was almost finished, Yang Anni thoughtfully ordered him another bowl.
"Hehehe, I noticed when I was at your house that your brother-in-law has a huge appetite."
"One bowl is definitely not enough for my brother-in-law."
Jiang Jianni sighed, "People always say that daughters are their mothers' little cotton-padded jackets, but I never thought that younger sisters would be their older sisters' little cotton-padded jackets too."
She affectionately pinched Yang Anni's two small breasts: "Little sister."
"Since you're so thoughtful, I should take good care of you too."
"Didn't I tell you before to check out the night schools here and enroll in one?"
"Have you registered yet? How's the school's teaching quality?"
"Night school is different from high school, the courses shouldn't be as difficult as they were in high school, right?"
Are you confident about taking the college entrance exam next year?
"We don't necessarily need to get a bachelor's degree, but getting a junior college diploma shouldn't be a problem, right?"
Yang Anni: "..."
Silence, silence is the capital tonight.
