Jiang Wanwan ordered a dish of five-flavor almond cheese goose, sweet and sour pork, stir-fried shredded vegetables, and a crucian carp and tofu soup.
Uncle Jiang couldn't help but swallow as he looked at the exquisite dishes on the table.
Looking at the dishes on the table, he suddenly remembered what his eldest son, Jiang Hu, had said.
The eldest son once said that as long as he followed his sister, he would have an endless supply of meat.
At that moment, he finally understood what his eldest son had said.
If I want to eat meat in the future, I'll have to cling tightly to my niece's leg.
Looking back now, I realize that my niece is an exceptionally kind person.
As long as you don't offend her or do anything underhanded, she won't hold it against you and is actually quite generous to you.
"Second Uncle, hurry up and start eating. We still need to go to the market to buy things later," Jiang Wanwan said.
"Alright!" Uncle Jiang quickly grabbed the chopsticks on the table and put a large piece of Five-Flavor Almond Milk Goose into his mouth.
His eyes lit up, and he quickly chewed and swallowed the food before saying, "Hmm, as expected of the food at Lai Xiang Restaurant, it's expensive for a reason, it's really delicious."
......
After finishing their meal, the two left Lai Xiang Restaurant.
This meal cost Jiang Wanwan more than one tael of silver.
After finishing their meal, the two left Lai Xiang Restaurant.
"My dear niece, where are we going now?" Uncle Jiang was completely won over by the meal, and when he addressed Jiang Wanwan, he changed from "Wanwan, Wanwan" to "my dear niece".
"Let's go buy an iron pot," Jiang Wanwan said.
The wok we use for frying is chipped and has holes in the bottom; it looks quite dilapidated. Even the kitchen knife is worn down; I have to sharpen it a lot to cut meat.
Now that she has a large sum of money, she doesn't have to worry about being suspected by the Jiang family of bringing a lot of money out of the general's mansion, even if she buys things with her own money. This eliminates the possibility of being taken advantage of.
She doesn't want to be like Shengmei from "Ode to Joy"!
Soon, the two arrived at a blacksmith shop.
In front of the blacksmith's shop, a very burly man sat steadily on a long bench, his thick arms exposed and his face covered with a full beard.
He was wielding a huge iron hammer, striking the knife placed on the stone again and again, sweat pouring down his body.
Each hammer blow produced a dull "thump, thump, thump" sound.
Under the sunlight, his bronze skin gleamed slightly, and his strong arms showed clearly defined muscle lines.
The burly man with the thick beard caught a glimpse of Jiang Wanwan and Uncle Jiang out of the corner of his eye. He continued working, looked up at the two of them, and gave them a simple, honest smile. "What would you two like to order?"
"I need a wok, a large soup pot, and two kitchen knives," Jiang Wanwan said.
"Thump, thump!" The burly man with the thick beard pounded the ground a few times before stopping.
The burly man with a thick beard stood up from the bench, flashing a bright white smile, and asked enthusiastically, "Young lady, how big of a wok do you need? Have you taken the measurements yet?"
Jiang Wanwan froze, realizing she had forgotten about that.
Uncle Jiang quickly replied, "It has been measured, it has been measured."
Then, he casually explained to Jiang Wanwan, "I know the approximate size of the pots and pans at home."
"That's fine then. We have a wide selection of iron pots in various sizes, as well as ready-made kitchen knives. You two gentlemen are welcome to come in and take a look," the bearded man greeted.
