"It smells so good!"
"It smells so good!"
Compared to the adults' reserved manner, Han Hongbo and his brothers were much more straightforward.
"What delicious food is Auntie making?"
"Go and see, go and see!"
The young men quickly ran to the kitchen.
At the same time, as a gust of wind blew by, several households around the Han family's courtyard smelled the fragrance wafting in the air.
However, compared to the praise from Lao Han's family, these other families were quite envious.
"Whose house is this? They have no sense of public decency!"
Who cooks so extravagantly?
"Isn't this like they emptied the oil tank?"
"You spendthrift woman!"
...
In the eyes of the villagers, if you want the food to taste good, you have to use a lot of oil. But the problem is that every household is not well-off, and many families just add a little oil to the pan and stir-fry the food briefly when cooking.
Dishes prepared this way are edible, but they certainly won't be delicious.
For Jiang Yi, adding more oil is indeed one of the reasons why stir-fried dishes smell better.
In fact, making stir-fried dishes fragrant is not just about adding oil.
Of course, Jiang Yi had no reason to explain anything to these people.
To put it in a very cheesy way, it would be that Jiang Yi has never needed to explain her actions to anyone.
Besides, making a living isn't something that can be achieved simply by saving money.
In times of financial hardship, to make life better, one must both increase income and reduce expenditure. And increasing income clearly comes before reducing expenditure.
After all, if you don't have enough, no matter how much you try to save, you're still consuming resources.
Therefore, open source is the key.
What gives Jiang Yi the audacity to organize such a family reunion dinner? Isn't it all thanks to her resourcefulness?
If she hadn't caught those fish from the river, how could she have bartered for these things?
To put it bluntly, if you want to live a good life, you have to find ways to increase your income.
As for cutting costs, that's secondary.
...
Soon, the first dish was ready: a simple stir-fried twice-cooked pork.
Three whole plates!
One plate for the men, one plate for the women, and another plate for the nephews.
As for Jiang Yi, she naturally kept a little for herself as well.
Once the twice-cooked pork was ready, Jiang Yi served the dishes much faster. After all, she had prepared quite a few cold dishes.
Braised pig's head with cucumber salad, braised pig's ears sliced into strips, cold vermicelli with dried shrimp, cold jellyfish salad...
As dish after dish was served, everyone's mouth watered.
"Dad, Mom, you eat first, don't wait for me!"
Jiang Yi served one dish after another, clearly in a very good mood.
"Alright, today, we'll accept your service this once!"
Han Ganshan spoke with a smug look on his face.
In his view, this meant his daughter had grown up, which was a good thing.
Jiang Yi went back to the kitchen to continue working. She hadn't planned to make many hot dishes, just stir-fried twice-cooked pork, stir-fried pork intestines with chili peppers, and then braised fish.
Finally, make a pork liver soup!
Originally, Jiang Yi was planning to make sweet and sour pork ribs, but unfortunately, she couldn't find any pork ribs.
Although people at that time liked to eat fatty meat, there were always some people who had the means and the means to enjoy even better delicacies.
After all, some people still prefer money and tickets to bartering.
Meanwhile, the aroma of the dishes from Old Han's family wafted on the wind, and since the whole family was eating in the courtyard, the aroma traveled even further.
However, at this time, no one would be so tactless as to come knocking on the door.
After all, they're just coming to my door to freeload.
On the fifteenth of August, families reunite. It would be very inappropriate for someone not to stay at home but to go to someone else's house.
