◎Found home◎
She explained this to Jiang Che: "They are different, and others will not associate them together. Besides, there is still some time left. We won't have any for now. It would be best if we catch up with them before the Chinese New Year when everyone is generous and willing to spend money. By then, we can make a lot of money again, and nothing will happen."
Jiang Che thought about it and felt that what his wife said was quite right, so he nodded in agreement. Then he remembered another thing: "Let's find time to go home for dinner in the next two days. My eldest brother came to see me today and said that my parents nag at home every day."
Wei Xuan felt that it would be bad to not go back for a long time since they lived so close, so she agreed without hesitation: "Okay, the winter solstice is just two days away, so we can celebrate the festival when we go back."
The date for returning was set, and Jiang Che went to the factory the next day to find Brother Jiang and told him the time.
Wei Xuan was thinking about what to bring back to her husband's house. It would be bad to go home empty-handed for dinner.
After thinking for a long time, she decided to make some meat sauce to take with her.
When Jiang Che received the task from Wei Xuan, asking him to buy the things needed to make meat sauce, he was quite enthusiastic. After all, after eating the cooking skills of his young wife for a while, the difference between eating in the cafeteria at noon was a bit big. After the meat sauce was ready, he could also bring it with him for lunch.
With this in mind, I accidentally bought too many jars of meat sauce.
...
...
Wei Xuan stared at the twenty mini jars in front of her without saying a word. Seeing this, Jiang Che laughed awkwardly twice: "I thought the jars were too small and I was afraid they wouldn't be enough, so I thought of buying more. That's why I bought too much by mistake. It's okay. If you can't use them all, just keep them. They won't break."
Wei Xuan glanced at him and said, "Come on, stop standing there like an idiot. Come and wash the jars and help." But she was busy and didn't have time to argue with him.
There are many kinds of sauces, but because of limited ingredients, Wei Xuan plans to make three kinds today. One is pure meat sauce, the second is with mushrooms, and the last one is chili sauce.
These three kinds of sauces can be mixed with noodles or eaten with steamed buns.
The ingredients have been prepared in advance, and as the oil heats up and the spices are added, the aroma wafts out.
Especially when frying peppers, it is impossible to stay in the house because it is too choking.
After a busy period of work, the three kinds of sauces can finally be packed into jars.
After checking to make sure the jars were dry, Wei Xuan and Jiang Che divided the work and each filled one type. Soon all ten jars were filled.
There were only three jars of meat sauce, and because none of them were full, it weighed less than three pounds.
I made four jars of mushroom sauce and three jars of chili sauce.
Jiang Che looked at all the sauces and thought that he could only take one bottle of each back home. He and Wei Xuan wouldn't be able to eat much of the rest, so he could take them to Wu Yun to see if there was a market for them.
Wei Xuan actually had this in mind when she did all these things, but she just hadn't had time to say it. Seeing Jiang Che bring it up first, she was very happy that he had already developed a business sense under her subtle influence.
Well, this young man has a bright future!
She encouraged him, "Then you can try it. Take a bottle first, and don't ask about the money. Just say you're giving it to Angkor to try."
"Okay, I'll bring it to him tomorrow when I go to deliver the goods."
Unfortunately, the next day, when Jiang Che went to deliver the goods, Wu Yun was not there.
"Our boss went to the countryside to collect goods last night and he probably won't be back until the afternoon."
Jiang Che was not in a hurry. He handed the three jars of sauce in his hand to the gatekeeper: "Then when he comes back, please give this to him and tell him that I gave it to him for tasting."
"Don't worry, Brother Che. I'll give it to the boss as soon as he comes back."
The serious look of the man in front of him made Jiang Che laugh, and he patted him on the shoulder: "Okay, thank you, I'll bring you something delicious next time."
The fact that Brother Che has a wife with great cooking skills has spread among them. Everyone knows that the most popular and profitable braised meat comes from Brother Che's wife!
So when Jiang Che promised to bring him something delicious, the gatekeeper was full of anticipation. He bared his teeth and watched Jiang Che leave: "Brother Che, take care."
As soon as Wu Yun came back in the afternoon, he came over with three large jars in his arms: "Boss, this was sent by Brother Che this morning."
"Oh?" Wu Yun asked with interest while washing his hands: "Did he say what it was?"
The younger brother scratched his head, recalled and said: "No, he said he would give it to you, Boss, to try."
"Okay, show it to me."
The younger brother put the three jars on the table not far from Wu Yun. Wu Yun first sniffed it, but couldn't tell what it was, so he reached out and opened the jar closest to him.
Wow, an overbearing and pungent smell hits me.
Wu Yun quickly turned his head and sneezed. It turned out that the jar he opened was chili sauce.
The younger brother was startled by his movement and asked nervously: "Boss, are you okay?"
Wu Yun waved his hand to indicate that he was fine.
At this time, the younger brother next to him also smelled the fragrance and asked curiously: "Boss, it smells so good, what is it?"
Wu Yun sneezed and felt refreshed. He immediately opened the other two jars. After seeing that they were filled with sauce, he did not even bother to pick up chopsticks. He just dipped a little and put it in his mouth to taste it.
The salty and fragrant meat sauce, with a slightly spicy taste, immediately conquered Wu Yun.
He just hadn't had time for lunch yet, so now was a good time. He told his younger brother who was trying to stretch his head to see what was in the jar: "Go to the kitchen and get some steamed buns, and some bowls, too."
Without hesitation, the younger brother turned around and ran out, and brought all the things back in less than a minute.
Wu Yun first took out a little bit of each of the three sauces and put them into the bowl, then dipped the steamed bun in them and ate them.
He could finish a fist-sized steamed bun in just a few bites. Among the three kinds of sauces, Wu Yun's favorite was not the meat sauce, but the chili sauce. In this kind of weather, it was so spicy that sweat broke out on his forehead, but he didn't stop eating and kept eating one bite after another.
The younger brother beside him was drooling over the fragrance and couldn't help but said, "Boss, can you let me have a taste too?"
Wu Yun swallowed the steamed bun in his mouth and took a long breath: "Great, you should try it, Xiao Che's wife's cooking skills are really amazing."
The younger brother couldn't wait any longer. Now that the boss had spoken, he didn't hesitate to pick up a steamed bun and scrape a large amount of sauce off it. He didn't mind the choking, and nodded while eating: "Good, um, very good."
The two of them ate seven steamed buns in one breath before putting down their chopsticks.
After the younger brother left, Wu Yun leaned back in his chair, the more he thought about it, the more he couldn't sit still. If he hadn't known that Jiang Che and his wife were both at work at this hour, he would have wanted to go to his house right away to ask if he was planning to sell this sauce.
According to Wu Yun's experience, it is foreseeable that the popularity of this sauce in the future will definitely not be lower than that of braised meat. Although most of the braised meat is worthless parts such as pig's trotters and pig's tails, it is still meat. It is okay to have it occasionally to satisfy your appetite, but most people cannot bear to eat it every day.
But it’s different with sauce. Regardless of whether it is expensive or not, many people are willing to buy it just to change the taste in the winter. Moreover, you can eat a jar of sauce slowly and it can be stored for a long time.
Dipping it in steamed buns or mixing it with noodles is both delicious and easy to prepare.
Section 13
After finally waiting until the factory's closing time, Wu Yun couldn't wait even a quarter of an hour, so he rode his bicycle to Jiang Che's house.
Jiang Che was walking on the road after get off work when he vaguely heard someone calling him from behind. He turned around and saw it was Wu Yun. He immediately understood why he came.
Wu Yun rode up to him quickly and stopped: "Do you want to buy a bicycle? It will be more convenient to deliver goods. If you want, I can help you keep an eye out for tickets."
The bicycle that Jiang Che used to ride was bought by his family. Although he used it mostly, it was not his personal property after all, so he did not bring it with him when he moved.
But his wife had discussed with him some time ago that this time when they go back, they will see if they can use the car. They can pay some money and buy it directly, or buy some things and send it back. It will be more cost-effective than buying a new one.
It's just sitting there anyway, and it will easily rust if not used for a long time, so don't waste it. This way it will be convenient for him to go to get off work and deliver goods.
After Wei Xuan said this, Jiang Che had no objection. In fact, according to him, let alone giving money, he didn't even want to give the things as gifts. He just wanted to use them directly. There was no need to go through so much trouble with his parents. These were things he had always used, so why didn't he let him use them now that he had moved?
The young wife was too thin-skinned. If he wasn't watching, she would have suffered a loss. But the money and things were for his parents, so he didn't say anything if it wasn't for outsiders, so as not to make the young wife unhappy.
Jiang Che frowned, thinking about how he was always the one who suffered whenever his young wife was unhappy.
Wu Yun saw that he looked strange, so he stretched out his hand and waved it in front of his eyes: "Hey, what are you thinking about? I'm asking you a question."
"Oh," Jiang Che came back to his senses, "I'll just go home in a couple of days and use the old car. There's no need to buy a new one for now. By the way, Brother Wu, what's the matter with you?"
Wu Yun raised his eyebrows and looked him up and down: "Pretending, you are pretending to be like this with me, right? Don't you really know why I am looking for you?"
Jiang Che chuckled twice, not embarrassed by being exposed: "Brother Wu, it's not that I, your brother, want to pretend in front of you on purpose, but I don't know if you like the things I sent you."
"Okay, stop beating around the bush. I don't think I can rush here."
Jiang Che smiled even more happily now: "Come on, let's go home and talk. My wife should have come back and prepared dinner by now. Let's talk while we eat."
Wei Xuan had indeed returned by this time, and was in the kitchen making dumplings with green onion and pork filling. Tomorrow was the winter solstice, and she had to go back to her mother-in-law's house to celebrate, so she definitely wouldn't have time to make dumplings at home, so she might as well make a few more today and eat them slowly. Anyway, if she left them outside in this weather, they would freeze and wouldn't go bad.
When he heard some noise outside, he shouted to the door, "Is Jiang Che back?"
