Chapter 14 Dinner



◎Can this business be done?◎

Jiang Che saw that Wei Xuan was not joking with him and was really going to pull him, so he quickly begged for mercy: "Okay, I'm afraid of you, I'll tell you, is that not enough?" The temperature was so cold at night, and he would definitely have a runny nose tomorrow if he went out to sleep.

Wei Xuan sat down nearby and said, "Go ahead."

Jiang Che thought that since there was no one else he could discuss this matter with, there seemed to be nothing shameful in telling his wife, so he sat up like Wei Xuan, crossed his legs, and told her everything he had seen and thought today.

After saying that, I felt a little embarrassed: "I just said it was nothing, but you forced me to say it."

Wei Xuan thought this was a pleasant surprise. She remembered that she had tried to test Jiang Che's attitude towards Wu Yun's private business before, but he didn't care at that time. Now it's good, so she doesn't have to think about how to convince him.

She couldn't just tell him that in a few years, going into business would be the mainstream! Unexpectedly, his attitude now made a 180-degree turn.

That’s true, after all, he didn’t know at that time that Wu Yun was so good at making money.

It turns out that it's not that she's not tempted, it's just that the benefits are not there yet. It seems that she can put her plan of doing business on the agenda.

...

...

Jiang Che looked at Wei Xuan for a long time without saying anything and became anxious: "I've told you, you should at least say something."

"What are you talking about? Go to bed in the middle of the night." Wei Xuan ignored him. If she kept rushing, he would have to worry for two days. Besides, if she said it directly now, wouldn't it seem that she had planned it in advance? There must be an opportunity. And tomorrow is a good opportunity.

It just so happens that Brother Wu is coming too, what a great opportunity.

Thinking of this, she told Jiang Che: "Get up early tomorrow and go to Brother Wu to buy some pig's trotters, pig's tails, etc. It would be even better if you can buy a pig's head."

"Then why didn't you tell me yesterday? The food today is not enough. Why do you want more?" Jiang Che was not happy when he heard that he was asked to get up early.

"Just go if I tell you to. I'll make you something delicious when you get back. There might even be a surprise."

After what happened today, Jiang Che definitely didn't want to go to Wu Yun again in the short term, but when he heard there was a surprise, it wasn't impossible for him to go again.

The next morning, Jiang Che got up and went out. Wei Xuan didn't stay in bed either. She got up and made breakfast first. There were still a few buns left from last night, so she just had to cook some porridge. It was very convenient.

After finishing it, I found the big jar I bought before. This is the best jar for braising meat.

That's right. Wei Xuan asked Jiang Che to buy pig's trotters and pig's heads because she wanted to make braised meat. In her previous life, the braised meat made by the dean was really amazing. Although she had never made it herself, she had seen it so many times that the ingredients had long been imprinted in her mind. Even if they were not so accurate, she believed that they would not be too different.

Take the jar out, wash it, and brush your teeth and wash your face.

She tied her hair up, went back to the kitchen, prepared the spices, and wrapped them tightly with gauze. Then she just had to wait for Jiang Che's meat.

While Wei Xuan was having breakfast, Jiang Che came back carrying some meat.

"This meat is so hard to buy, there's only so much left."

Section 11

Wei Xuan took it and looked at it. There was a pig ear, two pig trotters and a large intestine at the end.

"Okay, that's enough. Go eat first and leave this to me."

Find a basin to wash the dirt on the surface of the meat first, and then use boiling hot water just boiled in the morning to remove the hair.

The food at home must be as clean as possible. After Jiang Che finished his breakfast, Wei Xuan grabbed him and asked him to be a soldier: "You shave the hair off the pig's trotters and ears. I'll go wash the large intestine."

Jiang Che came over reluctantly and squatted down: "Why bother with that? Braised pork tastes good too."

"Then don't eat it while I prepare it."

"Why shouldn't I eat it? I worked on it."

Wei Xuan didn't have time to argue with him because the pig intestines were so smelly that she was afraid she would vomit if she opened her mouth.

She rinsed it several times with well water, then went into the kitchen, got out some vinegar and dropped a few drops into the pot to soak it.

I originally wanted to use salt to wash it, but salt is expensive nowadays.

Soak it for a few minutes, rinse it with water and rub it clean. Turn it over to remove the grease inside and rinse it with water a few more times so that the smell is not so pungent.

The pig's trotters and ears were almost ready, so Wei Xuan checked them over. It was clear that Jiang Che did a very meticulous job, as most of them were plucked out except for the small hairs, which could only be removed by scalding them with boiling water again.

"Okay, that's about it, leave the rest to me."

Take them to the kitchen and rinse the pig ears and trotters with water first. Considering that there will be many people eating in the evening, cut the trotters into pieces and then put them into the jar for braising.

Simply put all the seasonings and pig ears and trotters into the jar, then add most of the water. The most important thing is to add rice wine, but rice wine is too expensive and requires a ticket, which is not something Wei Xuan can afford. Here she replaced the rice wine with beer, which costs a few cents per pound and there is no limit on the quantity.

As for the taste, it tastes just as bad to Wei Xuan, who has never drunk alcohol.

Finally, put the lid on the jar and place it on the stove.

As for the large intestine, she can wait until she comes back secretly in the afternoon and put it in later.

After turning the fire in the stove to the lowest setting, Wei Xuan locked the door and went to work, leaving it to simmer slowly.

After get off work in the afternoon, Wei Xuan hurried home. As soon as she entered the door, she could smell the familiar fragrance coming from the kitchen.

I walked in and opened the lid, and it smelled even better. I poked it with a chopstick and it was already soft.

Even the pig intestines, white radish and lotus root slices that Wei Xuan put in when she came back in the afternoon were already cooked through.

Take the jar off the stove, open the exhaust vent, and put the kettle on to continue boiling.

Wei Xuan took the pig ears out of the jar and let them cool down. She would cut them into a separate plate later.

Now that she had the braised pork, Wei Xuan didn't plan to make braised pork. She cut the pork belly into thin slices, stir-fried some cabbage and then some braised bamboo shoots, which used quite a bit of oil and water.

There was still a pound of pork tenderloin left. Wei Xuan originally wanted to make the sweet and sour pork again as everyone responded well to her last time, but seeing that there was not much oil left at home, Wei Xuan finally changed it to sweet and sour pork tenderloin, which also had a sweet and sour taste.

Those were the meat dishes. Wei Xuan took a look and added another dish of stir-fried carrots with peppers, making a total of six dishes. Finally, she added an egg soup to complete the dish.

Jiang Che had also returned a long time ago and was now entertaining his invited friends in the main hall.

He stuck his head outside and shouted.

Wei Xuan handed the braised meat to Jiang Che who came after hearing the news.

I also took a plate of sliced ​​pig ears and followed them to the main hall.

"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long. The food is ready. Why don't you sit down and have a drink first?"

Jiang Che put down the plate in his hand and took the bottle to pour them some wine: "We can finally eat. Come, everyone, sit down and let's drink first."

The three of them had a very close relationship with Jiang Che, so they didn't hesitate and sat down one by one.

"Sister-in-law, let's start eating."

Wei Xuan called out, "Eat quickly and see if my cooking is to your liking."

"I've been smelling the fragrance for a long time and I've been craving it until now." After saying that, he picked up a piece of pig's ear and put it into his mouth.

One person took action, and the remaining two followed suit.

Wu Yun swallowed the food in his mouth and said, "Xiao Che really didn't lie to us this time. My sister-in-law's cooking skills are no worse than the master chef."

"Now you believe it!" Jiang Che said proudly.

The other two friends laughed and said, "I believe it, we will have a place to eat next time."

"Go away, you still want to rely on me."

Seeing everyone laughing, Wei Xuan didn't stay long and went back to the kitchen to bring up the remaining dishes.

He also sat down next to Jiang Che and started eating.

This meal was a great pleasure for both the host and the guests.

Afterwards, the other two friends left first. Wei Xuan saw that the time was almost right, so she asked the questions she had prepared earlier.

"Brother Wu, what do you think of my stewed food?"

"It tastes really good. It's one of the best I've ever eaten, if not the best."

Wu Yun has a wide network of contacts due to his business, and has eaten a lot of food.

Wei Xuan was relieved to hear his high evaluation. She felt relieved and asked with a smile, "Brother Wu, if I sell this braised food, do you think anyone would buy it?"

"This," Wu Yun didn't expect that Jiang Che's wife would have such an idea. He was stunned for a moment. He glanced at Jiang Che and saw that he was also surprised. He knew that he didn't know about this beforehand. It was all the idea of ​​his brother's wife.

"If you want to sell it, there will definitely be people who will buy it. In this weather, the braised food can be kept and stored. But are you sure you want to get involved in this kind of business?" Both the couple in this family have decent jobs. Especially since she knows Jiang Che, it would be bad if they quarreled over this matter again.

Wei Xuan knew what he meant. In the past, she would definitely not make such a decision on her own, but after what happened yesterday, Jiang Che probably wouldn't object now.

"Brother Wu, since I've told you this, I won't make it difficult for you. But I have to trouble you with the materials."

"Hey, I knew that today's meal would not be in vain. All right," Wu Yun slapped his thigh, "Since my sister-in-law is so straightforward, I won't hesitate. I'll do this business. As for the materials, tell me how much you need every day, Yang Xiaoche, and I'll keep it for you. As for the money, I'll give you the price I charge."

Wei Xuan didn't want to take advantage of others in this matter. She still wanted to cooperate with others for a long time. She said immediately: "Brother Wu, we should settle accounts clearly. Just give me the same amount as you sold it to others." He has younger brothers under him, so he can't make things difficult for him.

Wei Xuan was straightforward, so Wu Yun looked up to her. Then the two chatted a little more about the approximate daily shipment volume in the market. Only after Wei Xuan had a rough idea of ​​the situation did Wu Yun say goodbye.

Before leaving, Wu Yun patted Jiang Che on the shoulder and said, "You have married a good wife, boy!"

Jiang Che had already drunk a little too much that night, and was frightened even more by Wei Xuan's shocking words. He only came to his senses in a daze after everyone had left.

So my wife just discussed a business deal with Angkor, right? ?
