The oil shuttle will have a strong aroma. The better the meat is and the longer it is fried, the stronger the aroma will be.
The pork in Jia Dongsheng's homestay is all from high-quality free-range pigs, not the ones fed with pig feed in supermarkets.
Precisely because free-range pigs are difficult to raise, Jia Dongsheng stored so much meat when the B&B was about to open.
As the aroma became stronger, many children had gathered outside the Jia family's house. These children were staring at the door of the Jia family. They had all received the promise from Uncle Dong that they would be given meat to eat later.
"Dongsheng, why are there so many children gathered outside?"
Qin Huairu, who was helping Jia Dongsheng with the oil shuttle, looked at the children outside and asked in a low voice.
"When I came back just now, these children looked at the meat I was carrying with pitiful expressions, which made me feel sorry for them."
Jia Dongsheng looked at the pot and said, "So I promised them that I would give them some meat later."
"Give them meat?"
Qin Huairu raised her eyebrows but didn't say anything. Jia Dongsheng was the one in charge of the family, so of course, whatever Jia Dongsheng said was the truth.
Qin Jingru on the side was shocked. Is he such a spendthrift?
It’s so difficult to have a meal of meat, and you’re giving it to the children outside?
Qin Jingru saw it all. There were more than ten children outside. If each of them took a share, how much would they have to eat?
Although this was not her flesh, at this moment, Qin Jingru's heart was beating fast and she felt so heartbroken.
Jia Zhang and Aunt Qin in the room were no longer in the mood to chat, mainly because the aroma of the oil shuttle was so strong that it made their stomachs growl.
Anyone with experience knows that when you are hungry, you really don’t want to do anything and you don’t even want to speak.
Sadly, the meal was slow to prepare.
Oil shuttle? Okay, chop the lard residue a few times and then start making dumplings.
Fortunately, both Qin Jingru and Qin Huairu are good at home and can make dumplings, so Jia Dongsheng only needs to roll out the dough.
After making thirty large buns and putting them into the pot, Jia Dongsheng took out a small bowl, filled it with almost half a bowl of fried dough sticks, and walked out the door.
The children outside had been waiting for a long time, their saliva flowing like a river. When they saw Jia Dongsheng come out, their eyes lit up and their faces were full of anticipation.
"Uncle Dong, are we going to have some meat?"
"Uncle Dong, I'm hungry."
"Uncle Dong, I'm greedy."
“…”
These little guys are quite good at pretending to be pitiful. Of course, it is also possible that they are not pretending, they are just pitiful.
Although most of the siheyuans are inhabited by working-class families, each family only has one worker, and the fewest have to support three or four people, while the most have to support six or seven people. Although they will not starve to death, they cannot eat very well.
"Alright, little guys, line up. Uncle Dong will give you some meat."
Although Jia Dongsheng brought back a large piece of fat and a large piece of pork fat, after draining the oil out, there was not much oil left, only pork fat residue.
Jia Dongsheng also used the lard residue to make dumplings, so there were really not many lard balls left to share with the children.
Two small pieces per person is already a lot, but even with these two small pieces, these children look very happy.
"Thank you, Uncle Dong."
"Thank you, Uncle Dong."
"Uncle Dong, you are so kind. When you grow up, I will buy you meat."
“.......”
"Okay, when you grow up, buy me some meat."
Jia Dongsheng smiled and waved his hand: "Let's go play."
After watching the children jumping and playing, Jia Dongsheng turned around and went home.
"Brother Dongsheng, do you like children so much?" Qin Jingru looked at Jia Dongsheng, her big eyes concealing unknown deep meaning.
"Yeah, I do like kids."
Jia Dongsheng didn't pay attention to the change in Qin Jingru's eyes, but smiled and said, "Go and chat with your sister, you can eat soon."
"Got it, Brother Dongsheng."
Then, Qin Huairu took Qin Jingru to the house next door where Jia Dongsheng lived.
"Sister, is this house yours too?" Qin Jingru asked as soon as she entered the house.
"Yes, not only this house, but also the one next door."
Qin Huairu smiled faintly and said, "Originally, my house only had one room, but after Dongsheng came back, there was no room for him. I was thinking of just making do with it, but who knew that Dongsheng was so capable and bought two more rooms without saying a word."
"hiss."
Qin Jingru's big eyes flickered in disbelief. Two rooms in the city, how much would that cost?
Seeing Qin Jingru's expression, Qin Huairu felt a hint of joy in her heart. Although what she said was the truth, she also said it on purpose.
What is it for?
Isn't it just to make Qin Jingru favor Jia Dongsheng even more?
In Qin Huairu's heart, a capable man like Jia Dongsheng must be held tightly in her hands if necessary. Unfortunately, she is a widow and Jia Dongsheng's sister-in-law, so she has no chance.
However, if she could benefit her cousin, it would also be half a benefit for herself. Qin Huairu's mind was very simple.
Qin Huairu was unsure whether Jia Dongsheng would still be as good to her, his sister-in-law, as he was now if he married someone else.
But if he married Qin Jingru, it would be a closer relationship. Qin Huairu felt that she had to give Qin Jingru some advice.
"Jingru, you're already this old. Has your uncle introduced you to anyone?"
"Um."
Qin Jingru is eighteen years old this year, which is indeed the age to find a partner and get married in the countryside. So in just over five months this year, she has already been on blind dates six or seven times.
It’s just that Qin Jingru is ambitious and only wants to live a good life and have enough food to eat every day.
But what is the current situation in the countryside? How could Qin Jingru not know?
Not to mention that every family is not getting enough to eat, but that’s almost the same.
So, Qin Jingru rejected them all and wanted to find a partner in the city.
However, she didn't know anyone in the city and had no way to enter the city. This was why, when she heard that Aunt Qin was coming to see Qin Huairu, she immediately followed her.
If she didn't have a way, she might never be able to enter the city in her life.
"Do you have someone you like? Bring them over to me someday."
Qin Huairu was still trying to answer her questions, but this set of questions sounded so familiar to Qin Jingru that her eyes rolled around, and she seemed to understand a little bit what her cousin meant.
"Sister, if you have anything to say, you can tell me directly." Qin Jingru looked ready to listen attentively.
"ah......"
Qin Huairu looked at her sister in surprise. She didn't expect that after not seeing her for so long, her sister had grown up beyond her expectations.
In fact, Qin Huairu didn't know that her test was too obvious. They had just met for a short time, and Qin Huairu didn't ask about her family situation, but asked her if she had a partner. This was simply the opening routine of a matchmaker.
How could Qin Jingru, who had experienced many blind dates, not understand that Qin Huairu was preparing to introduce her to someone.
"But who will he introduce to me? Will it be Brother Dongsheng?" Qin Jingru thought secretly in her mind.
