The next day, when Jianshu was still asleep, Gu Mingjing cooked some dumplings that were left over from yesterday and had breakfast with Ding Ming.
Then the two of them went to work or went out for something. When Jianshu got up, she was the only one left at home.
After finishing the breakfast Gu Mingjing had left for her, she hopped on her bike and headed to the supply and marketing cooperative. All the meat at home was gone, leaving only some bacon and sausages, so she had to buy some vegetables.
She was lucky because the meat was still sold out when she went there, and the most amazing thing was that there was still beef for sale.
He quickly stopped the car and squeezed in with everyone else. When he came out, he was holding a piece of beef brisket and a piece of pork belly in his hands.
Then I went to the nearby stalls and bought a fish, some dried tofu, two cucumbers, and some vegetables. I also went to the supply and marketing cooperative and bought a few cans of fruit and a bottle of soy sauce.
After arriving home, she washed the beef brisket and cut it into pieces, preparing to make beef brisket stewed with tomatoes and potatoes later. Beef is not easy to cook, so it needs to be stewed for a while longer and it will taste good only when it is tender.
In addition to stewing beef brisket, she also made a dish of pickled pork with preserved vegetables. The ingredients were all available at home, so it was easy to make.
Both dishes are quite large in portion, and if I cook a pot of rice later, it will be enough for the three of them.
Jianshu plans to save the remaining fish to make boiled fish in the evening, add some cucumber, bean sprouts and bean curd sheets as side dishes, sprinkle with dried chili peppers and Sichuan peppercorns, and the aroma will fill your nose. The taste is amazing!
Gu Mingjing came back from get off work earlier at noon, and Ding Ming came back not long after.
While eating, the two praised Jianshu's cooking skills. A large pot of beef brisket stewed with tomatoes and potatoes was eaten up completely, and even the soup was eaten up with rice.
The preserved pork with preserved vegetables received strong praise from the two people. It was salty, fragrant and delicious, with a thick and fresh soup. A large pot was not enough for them to eat. At their request, Jianshu agreed to make it for them again tomorrow.
After dinner, the two went out again and did not come back until dinner time.
In the next few days, Jianshu prepared delicious food for the two of them in various ways, making them look very happy.
After Ding Ming finished his work, he didn't go out again. He followed Jian Shu around every day. With his good mouth, he became familiar with everyone in the family compound in just a few days. Calling her sister-in-law and sister-in-law also improved Jian Shu's popularity.
In the past, apart from a few nearby neighbors and the wives of Gu Mingjing's comrades, she was only familiar with everyone else and would just nod and say hello when she met them.
Now, when she walks on the street, many people take the initiative to greet her and chat with her.
In terms of social skills, Jianshu is far inferior.
During this period, Jianshu took Ding Ming to the mountain again and dug some spring bamboo shoots, preparing to let him take them back and share them with his relatives and friends so that they could taste the deliciousness.
On Gu Mingjing's day off, the two of them took Ding Ming on a stroll around the area, visiting the city's department stores, the supply and marketing cooperative, and nearby villages. They bought and exchanged a lot of local specialties. Jian Shu also took the opportunity to take out some goodies from his space.
Black fungus, hazel mushrooms, hazelnuts, pine nuts, and other wild delicacies were packaged and divided into three portions. In addition to the portion for Ding Ming and Pan Ning, he also asked them to bring a portion for Li Li, Zhao Mingze, and Meng Ying. The wild delicacies here are of high quality, and she picked the best ones. Not only are they delicious, but they are also good for the body.
In addition to this, there are also some good things for beauty and nourishment, such as wolfberry, snow frog, honey, etc., which are specially prepared for a few ladies. Of course, men can also use their wives'. After all, this thing is not differentiated by gender and can be used by both as long as they are willing.
There was also a large assortment of sausages, beef jerky, various dried fruits, canned fruits, and so on, all ready for him to take back. In the past, she hadn't dared to send too many packages for fear of attracting attention, but since this was a rare opportunity, of course she had to bring more.
"Here's some milk powder. I asked someone to get it for me. I heard it's good for children. These are for Xiaobao, and this one is for Lele. I've written their names on them, so don't get them mixed up. And this cod liver oil is also for the two children. When you take it home, share it with Lily. I've also written down how to use it on a piece of paper, so just follow it."
"I've also packed some bacon and sausage for you. There's not much left, so don't share it. Keep it for yourself. I'll make some more and mail it to you at the end of the year. If you want to make it yourself, that's fine. I've written the recipe down for you. Just buy the meat and make it yourself. But you live in a place with a lot of people around, so you'd better be careful. If it's inconvenient, don't make it. I'll mail it to you if you want to eat it. Don't be embarrassed."
"This package contains two sets of clothes, two pairs of shoes, and a small hat. They're all for Xiaobao. I made them earlier and was planning to mail them to you, but since you're here, I won't bother. I haven't seen her in person, so I don't know how old she is now. I estimated the size and made it a little bigger so she can wear it for a while longer."
"The clothes are all made of pure cotton. I have washed them many times and the fabric is as soft as old clothes. There is no problem for children to wear them."
Jianshu put things on the ground as he spoke, and soon the ground was full of them, with no place to step.
Ding Ming moved back, pressing himself against the wall, his face showing both emotion and despair.
Wow, his sister-in-law is so nice. She thinks of everyone in the family, young and old, and has prepared so many things.
But...how can he move so many things back?
Seeing Jian Shu still moving things, as if he was going to move the whole house back to him, Ding Ming wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with tears in his eyes, "Sister-in-law, please stop moving. I only have two hands. How can I carry so many things back?"
Even if he had two more hands, he still couldn't move it back.
"It's okay. It looks like there are a lot of things now because they are not sorted. I will pack them up for you in a snakeskin bag later and there won't be much left." Jian Shu wiped the sweat from his forehead and waved his hand.
"Don't worry about not being able to move the things. Your brother Gu and I will drive you to the station and put you directly in the car. Just be careful in the car. You don't have to worry about it when you get to Beijing. That's your territory. With the strength of our brother Ding, finding ten or eight people to help move things will be a piece of cake, right?" After saying this, Jian Shu raised his eyebrows, his words full of mischief.
This was true. Ding Ming knew so many people in Beijing, otherwise how could he get all these rare things? Plus, with his communication skills, even the train station would be full of people he knew. When the time came, finding someone to help send the things home would be a piece of cake.
Otherwise, Jianshu would not have prepared such a large amount of things.
