"Before the game was even over, my card-playing friends saw Wang Yang's video, which really angered Lao Wang. When he got home, he grabbed a feather duster and started hitting people!"
Aunt Zhang's pupils widened suddenly: "Really? Is there such a thing?"
"That's terrifying!"
"You know, Old Wang is something else. All he does is play cards all day and never cares about his son's studies..."
After discussing that, they started talking about recent events in the village.
"Hey, have you heard about this?" Grandma Chen lowered her voice: "Old Li from our village, something happened to his family. I heard they borrowed money to gamble and owe a lot of money."
"Many debt collectors came to his door, and Lao Li couldn't pay them back. He had a mental breakdown, hit two people with his car, and then jumped off a building and committed suicide."
"My God, is this even possible?"
......
Pan Ziyi listened from the side and couldn't help but open her mouth wide.
This is so much information!
Aunt Zhang and Grandma Chen were chatting when they suddenly felt a little thirsty, so they poured three cups of chilled mung bean soup, one for each of them.
Grandma Chen was all smiles when she saw there was free sweet soup again, and thanked her profusely.
She thought to herself: I really came to the right place. Not only did I get to eat such delicious food, but I also got to drink mung bean soup!
"Oh, don't mention it. It's my good fortune that Aunt Chen is willing to come and chat with me today."
"Let's continue!"
Aunt Zhang is also a gossipy person.
I used to always chat with groups of three or five aunties.
only.
Now that I'm selling sweet soup at a stall, I don't have much time and rarely chat anymore.
so.
She was unaware of many of the recent events.
Time passed little by little
I don't know how long we chatted.
As dusk fades and the evening glow disappears, the twilight fades away.
As night fell, Grandma Chen got up to go home.
Otherwise, my son will start urging me to go home again.
"Grandma Chen, let me take you home!" Aunt Zhang was worried that Grandma Chen might have trouble walking alone and wanted to take her home.
"No, no need, I'm perfectly healthy!" Grandma Chen shook her head in refusal, waved her hand, and prepared to leave.
"Okay, then please be careful on your way," Aunt Zhang said quickly.
"rest assured!"
Grandma Chen had only taken a few steps when she froze in place, then turned around and walked to the other side.
Aunt Zhang panicked when she saw this: "Aunt Chen, you've gone the wrong way!"
Grandma Chen: "I didn't go to the wrong place. I'm going over there to buy a stir-fry to take home!"
Hearing this, Aunt Zhang smiled.
This little old lady has quite a sweet tooth!
————————
Business has been good lately, but there are only a few people during the lunch and dinner rush hours; at other times, only a few people come in.
Yu Hui thought this was a good approach, as he could take a break after being busy for a while.
The weather has been hot lately.
Although there were large trees providing shade, there was always a warm current in the air, which made me feel very uncomfortable.
then.
After much hesitation.
He still decided to buy a portable air conditioner.
The kind of machine that is square and has four wheels on the base may not be as effective at cooling as an air conditioner, but it is convenient.
This is currently the best option.
After making the decision, Yu Hui called the operations department of Yunjian Convenience Store and asked them to send over a portable air conditioner and a power bank.
The convenience store in the cloud is very efficient; they started packing the machine as soon as they received the call.
"Boss, I'd like some stir-fried vegetables!"
What kind of dish would you like to have cooked?
Just after hanging up the phone, Yu Hui saw a short, plump, smiling old lady standing in front of the stall.
Looking at the handsome young man, Grandma Chen felt very happy.
She smiled and said, "Young man, I'll have one serving of braised fish chunks!"
Grandma Chen loves to eat fish.
Whenever it's a family dinner, she'll ask her daughter-in-law to cook several fish dishes.
She can eat several plates by herself.
As for why she only chose this dish this time...
That's because although she was greedy, she couldn't bear to part with it.
After all, a bowl of food costs at least twenty or thirty yuan.
Twenty or thirty yuan is enough for her family of five to have a meal.
"Okay, please wait a moment!"
After collecting the cash, Yu Hui immediately began cooking.
"Knock knock knock—"
He first cut the cleaned grass carp into small pieces, then marinated it with cooking wine, pepper, salt, and shredded ginger.
After marinating, coat the fish pieces thoroughly with starch.
Flour has an absorbent effect, which helps prevent the fish from falling apart, resulting in crispy fish pieces when fried. It also absorbs the fishy smell, keeping the fish tender and not fishy.
After a while, heat oil in a pan and then add the marinated fish pieces to the pan and fry them over low heat.
High heat can easily burn the food.
Fry until golden brown on both sides and crispy on the surface, then remove and set aside.
Heat oil in a separate pan, add scallions, ginger, and garlic and sauté until fragrant. Add the pan-fried fish pieces, stir-fry evenly, add seasonings, and simmer over medium-low heat until the sauce thickens.
While you're at it, you can prepare some green and red chili peppers, garlic sprouts, and scallions.
Here, Yu Hui prepared green and red chili peppers.
Glug glug~~~~
Grandma Chen swallowed hard as she looked at the boiling broth and the crispy, tender fish pieces in the pot.
She never expected this.
This pot of fragrant and beautifully colored braised fish was made by the handsome young man in front of me.
Thinking back on that skillful technique, I could rival my husband who's been cooking for decades!
"Young man, how many years have you been studying to be a chef?" Grandma Chen asked.
"Huh?" Yu Hui was stunned for a moment, then said, "I, I'm a self-taught chef. I haven't studied cooking systematically. These dishes are all things I figured out on my own."
Upon hearing this, Grandma Chen's eyes widened, and she stared blankly at Yu Hui, hesitant to speak.
