While the braised meat was still stewing, she peeled the potatoes and cut them into shreds.
She had great knife skills and each potato she cut was of uniform size, which amazed Aunt Cai again.
After Lao Lin's wife returned home, she felt more and more uncomfortable the more she thought about it. She rolled her eyes and went out to Xu's house.
Xu Gen and Li Fang had not yet finished get off work, but Xu's mother was at home.
After a while, she came out of Xu's house and spat fiercely in Jiang Yu's direction.
Pooh!
Silly girl, if the Xu family doesn’t return her work station, just wait and see how she cries!
Jiang Yu didn't know what Lao Lin's wife was planning, so she took the soaked potato shreds out of the water.
After heating the oil in a pan, add the peppercorns, ginger, garlic and onion and stir-fry over high heat until fragrant. Then add the shredded potatoes and stir-fry for one or two minutes, then pour the aged vinegar into the pan.
As the sun sets, people are returning home from get off work.
As soon as we entered the family compound, a strong aroma hit our noses, and everyone immediately became agitated.
"Where does the fragrance come from?"
"It smells so good, what's that smell?"
"I smell meat, and a special sour and spicy aroma!"
Everyone subconsciously looked in the direction of the Jiang family. When they saw Jiang Yu's figure, they couldn't help but wail in their hearts.
Everyone's envious tears flowed from the corners of their mouths——
This life is unbearable.
When Jiang Yunfan came home from school and saw the smoke rising from the doorstep, his eyes lit up: Great, I can finally have a meal tonight and don’t have to eat the pig food I cooked myself!
He ran towards home, "Little brother, brother is back!"
Hearing the noise, Jiang Yunzhou kicked his short legs and ran out of the house.
Jiang Yunfan quickly dropped his schoolbag and opened his arms towards him: "Little brother, I miss you so much!"
Jiang Yunzhou seemed not to see him. He ran past him and hugged Jiang Yu's thighs: "Sister! You smell so good."
Jiang Yunfan: "..." Humph, this little traitor ignores me like this, I don't care about my face!
The scene was very embarrassing for a while.
Seeing this, Jiang Yu looked down at Jiang Yunzhou, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
Jiang Yu: "Zhou Zhou, be good. Go back and sit down and play while waiting for your sister. It's dangerous here."
Jiang Yunzhou nodded and went back in a skipping manner. The little hair on his head also skipped along with him, which was very cute.
The braised meat was just beginning to absorb the juice, and when the lid of the casserole was opened, a rich aroma filled the yard.
Jiang Yunfan's nose twitched, and he instantly forgot about the embarrassment. The next moment, he appeared in front of the stove, his eyes glued to the braised meat, his saliva flowing with greed. He unconsciously took a piece and stuffed it into his mouth. He really couldn't swallow the two meals of pig food.
The braised meat is stewed until it is tender and crispy, with a mixture of fat and lean meat. The fat is crispy and soft, while the lean meat is not dry even after being stewed for a long time. The marinade is thick and has penetrated well into the diced meat. The tender and crispy braised meat has a rich flavor and is full of sauce. It is fat but not greasy and melts in a sip.
So fragrant!
Jiang Yunfan glanced at Jiang Yu uncomfortably and said awkwardly, "Well, can I help you bring the braised meat in?"
Jiang Yu said calmly, "Not yet."
Jiang Yu added two spoonfuls of water to the pot and covered it with a lid.
Then he instructed Jiang Yunfan to make a fire.
Then turn around and find the Chinese cabbage, wash it, chop the green onions, and dice the mushrooms. After the fire is on, throw in the diced mushrooms and noodles, cook for a while, rinse with cold water, then blanch the Chinese cabbage in boiling water and serve in a bowl.
Pour soy sauce and balsamic vinegar on the noodles, sprinkle with chopped green onions, and Jiang Yu scooped two spoonfuls of braised pork sauce from the pot and put it on the noodles.
"Okay, bring the noodles in."
Jiang Yunfan grinned from ear to ear when he heard that. He picked up the noodles and shouted with a silly smile: "Dinner is ready, dinner is ready!"
Jiang Yu followed him with hot and sour potato shreds.
When it was time to eat, Jiang Yunfan ate the noodles in big mouthfuls, like a man who had been hungry for three days and three nights.
The noodle soup is refreshing, with a light, fresh flavor from the diced mushrooms. The salty aroma is mingled with a hint of chopped green onions, creating a light yet refreshing flavor. The addition of green choy sum further cuts through the greasiness of the braised meat.
The braised meat is heated by the noodle soup and stirred slightly. The light noodle soup does not destroy the original taste of the臊子. It is so delicious that it makes people want to cry.
The hot and sour potato shreds are refreshing and appetizing.
Woohoo, they are all so delicious!
He had never eaten such delicious pork and shredded potatoes in his life!
In order to eat such delicious meals in the future, he decided to pretend to be nicer to her.
It’s decided!
Jiang Yu ate a little faster than usual, and even Jiang Yunzhou's cheeks were bulging with food, like a cute little squirrel.
After finishing her meal, Jiang Yu sat at the table and said succinctly, "I've already received the approval for my household registration. I'll go to the Public Security Bureau to register tomorrow, and then go to the hospital to see Grandpa."
Jiang Yunfan: "Yeah. But in a few days, grandma and my two cousins will come from the countryside to visit grandpa."
Jiang Yu was bewildered. "Who? Didn't you say you don't have any relatives?"
Jiang Yunfan looked at Jiang Yu speechlessly: "It's nothing, but it's not nothing."
Jiang Yu: "Why are they here? Maybe they heard their parents passed away and left two workstations and a pension, so they're here to share in the profits?"
Jiang Yunfan frowned like an old man. "That's what I thought. They're too good at making trouble. You're no match for them. Even if you take over Mom's workstation, they'll still make a scene at the factory gate and make you lose your job."
Jiang Yu cursed: "Oh my god, this is so exquisite."
Jiang Yu tapped the table unconsciously. "Tell me everything about the situation over there, and I'll figure out what to do."
"Okay, it's that when my great-uncle was young, his family was poor, so he was adopted into another family. But my grandfather and my great-uncle brother had a very close relationship. However, my great-uncle passed away early, so my great-uncle was raised by my great-uncle grandmother as a bully, and he was a tyrant in the village. My father was raised on my great-uncle grandmother's milk, so my grandfather regularly sent living expenses to them before he retired. After retirement, he would mail half of his pension every month. If it weren't for my grandfather keeping them in check, who knows what trouble this family would have gotten into. Now that they heard that my grandfather is seriously ill, they must be worried that they won't have money to send them in the future, so they want to come and inquire about the situation and take over the family's property."
"How did they know the news?"
"Maybe they called the factory, or maybe Jiang Xue informed them."
After hearing this, Jiang Yu collapsed in his chair, covering his eyes with his hands, feeling hopeless. "This person is dead. Burn paper if you want, burn incense if you don't."
You can't just live a good life, you have to worry about other people's things. It's not easy to live these days, and you have to exaggerate things.
"It's really that time and space are endless, and the best are endless. Let me think about what to do."
Jiang Yu slammed the table: "I figured it out."
Jiang Yunfan asked curiously, "What do you want to do?"
Jiang Yu blinked and said, "I won't tell you yet. When those people from my hometown come, you can just watch them."
Then he looked at Jiang Yunfan and asked, "What's the matter with lending the workstation to the Xu family? Is the other party reliable?"
Jiang Yunfan said in a low voice: "When my parents were in trouble, grandpa was powerless, and Brother Xu and the others helped a lot. That's why grandpa..."
Jiang Yu ignored his hesitation and walked out holding Jiang Yunzhou's hand.
Jiang Yunfan was stunned for a moment, then quickly stood up and followed.
Outside, the night was dark and unknown night insects were chirping in the corners.
The person in front has a straight back, which gives people an inexplicable sense of reliability.
Jiang Yunfan turned around in front and waved at him softly: "Brother, hurry up!"
"good!"
