Xu Changfeng is an expert at cooking, so he specially prepared a few more dishes today.
For people like them, eating is something that requires their attention. If they want to improve their taste, they go to a restaurant. If they want to eat something richer, they order more dishes. Naturally, they also have to prepare more varieties when serving customers, so there are quite a few dishes today.
It can’t be said to be a waste, as there are many people in their family, and Xu Changfeng controls the portion of each dish very well, so there will definitely not be too much left over.
Mother Xu brought a few bottles of beer to the table outside and then gradually brought out cold dishes. There were salt-fried peanuts, a popular dish to go with alcohol, sliced beef tripe and pig ears, and of course, steamed tiger skin chicken feet with black bean sauce.
Jiang Yifei saw it clearly, but said nothing.
It wasn't until Xu's mother brought a few more alcohol stoves with soft, wiggling green objects inside that he asked, "What is this?"
"Alcohol stove, since this is your first time here, I have to let you try our special dishes."
The hometowns of this group of people are all in the eastern coastal cities, and many of their dishes are cooked on various stoves.
As Mother Xu spoke, she took out her lighter and lit the alcohol stoves one by one.
'clatter'!
'clatter'!
'clatter'!
'clatter'!
'clatter'!
After the orders were placed one by one on the alcohol stove, small pots were placed on it one by one. The pots were not big and there was not much food in them, but the aroma was very strong.
Xu Changfeng washed his hands and came out, smiling and introducing them: "This is tofu, pig intestines with wine lees, pig tripe with brocade, razor clams and old duck stew, stream fish stew..."
Anyway, they are all kinds of pots and pans, they are really fragrant and really rich.
Jiang Yifei's expression showed neither happiness nor sadness. He just said with a half-smile, "My fellow villagers are living a pretty good life."
If other people heard such words, they would probably be scared and speechless, but Xu Changfeng and Tang Li were indifferent. Not to mention that their current life was the result of the upward development of the Flower Kingdom and their own efforts, the thoughts of people in the two worlds were also different.
In the eyes of Xu Changfeng and others, it is normal to spend the money you earn however you want. Do you have to look at other people's faces before eating?
Xu Changfeng was also very direct in his words: "You can spend your own money however you want, and eat however you want. We're all greedy, so we have a lot of variety in our food. But we only had so many varieties today because we had guests. Otherwise, four or five dishes would be enough for a family of six on ordinary days."
Seeing that he answered directly and without any ambiguity, Jiang Yifei simply asked directly: "Oh? You actually eat four or five dishes in one meal? What dishes do you eat?"
This is what it means to inquire carefully.
The young comrades accompanying him were all horrified. If Director Jiang hadn't given them instructions earlier, they would have probably been asking questions long ago. These people's lives were simply too extravagant. This was pure utter madness!
Xu Changfeng naturally knew what the man meant by asking this, but he felt that there was nothing to hide, so he poured beer for everyone while saying, "My family is used to drinking soup, so we must have soup with every meal."
"Basically, you can choose from soups like loofah and shrimp soup, seaweed and egg drop soup, kimchi and wakame soup, kelp and pork trotter soup, soybean and pork rib soup, winter melon and pork rib soup, ham and prawn soup, tomato and egg soup, Jiangxiao bean and pork bone soup, lamb and radish soup, and beef and celery soup. If you want to make something special, you can see what your family likes."
"As for the dishes, there are many varieties. Basically, there are two meat dishes, two vegetable dishes, a soup, and a side dish. But the specific dishes depend on the staple food. Sometimes the staple food is porridge, and the types of dishes will change. We can add some fried noodles or braised meat, oh, and there are also buns of various flavors."
"If you're eating rice, it's pretty much the same as before. If you're eating barbecue, I'll make a few small adjustments."
"For breakfast, there are more options. It depends on what my daughter wants to eat." When talking about his daughter, Xu Changfeng showed his signature smile of a daughter slave: "I will make whatever my daughter wants to eat."
Although Jiang Yifei felt a little strange, he turned back and asked Tang Li, "How many dishes does this comrade eat at home?"
Tang Li smiled and said, "My cooking skills aren't very good, and we only have three people at home, so we usually have three dishes and one soup. Everyone in my family likes meat, so a meal usually consists of two meat dishes, one vegetable dish, and soup. But my wife is quite strict. She requires meat, eggs, and milk, so if there's no egg in the soup, it has to be added. We don't allow the children to drink too much beverages. They're still young and can't drink too much, as it hurts their teeth and their bodies, so we usually just have milk. Occasionally, we have some fruit juice and coconut milk, but that's basically it."
Jiang Yifei could hardly hold back his smile. This was such a huge difference, completely different from what they had initially thought.
He did know something and had prepared himself mentally before coming, but this little bit of mental preparation was completely different from what he saw and heard. Not to mention other things, just the food he had now was something he dared not and could not imagine.
If I could eat this kind of food every day, if this was just the food for ordinary people... there are no ifs, how could this be possible!
He took a deep breath quietly, then asked seriously: "Does every family eat like this?"
Xu Changfeng said in surprise: "How is this possible?"
Jiang Yifei felt relieved after hearing this. He said, "Which family can have such food?"
