Chapter 111 Chapter 111 The two of them were happy...
After the two of them readily agreed, they quickly went back to pack up their things and followed Chen back to the food store.
When the villagers learned that Mrs. Qiu and Mrs. Jiang were also going to work at the Su's restaurant, many families could not sit still. Among them, there were some military families who came to ask Mrs. Chen if the shop needed any more people, and some even invited Mrs. Chen to their homes for dinner. They were very enthusiastic.
After Chen explained everything one by one, she refused. However, she did not say anything absolute. She just said that she did not need it for the time being. After all, the shop behind might need more people.
Everyone expressed their understanding, but many people still wanted to hand the vegetables and fruits in their hands to Chen.
Only Liu, who had just come to Chen with a smug look on her face, said sarcastically, "Why are you pretending? It's just a few bucks, isn't it?"
After saying that, he turned around and walked away with the basket.
Chen's face suddenly turned ugly. After she returned home, she couldn't help but think for several days, how could there be such a person in the world? He must be sick.
It's like being bitten by a mad dog and not being able to fight back.
But this was just a minor incident and it passed quickly.
Back to the food shop, with two more people coming, Su Li and Chen and the others were finally not so tired.
In particular, Mrs. Qiu and Mrs. Jiang were extremely hardworking. As soon as they arrived, they took on most of the miscellaneous work and were very capable.
Later, during our conversation, I learned that Qiu was the only one taking care of a family of eight at home, and she did all the housework. The same was true for Jiang, who was good at both housework and outside.
"Aunt Qiu, Aunt Jiang, let's take a break first. Let's do it after dinner."
It was afternoon and all the customers in the food shop had finished their meals and left, but Qiu and Jiang were still wiping the tables and sweeping the floor. Seeing this, Su Li quickly called them to the backyard to eat together.
"Okay, here I come."
"I'll be right there."
After they wiped all the tables, they put down the rags in their hands and went to the backyard to eat together.
Today is still a very busy day. After three days of rest, business has not only not gotten worse, but has gotten better. Everyone has not eaten yet and has been busy until now.
The food was still the leftovers from lunch, which were picked up from scratch. There were stir-fried pork intestines, pickled fish, spicy pig's trotters, and various braised dishes. We also added fried eggs with fragrant stalks, cold bracken noodles, and shepherd's purse fried with bacon, which are special delicacies only available in spring.
Mrs. Qiu and Mrs. Jiang were still a little reserved. They didn't dare to pick up any food while sitting on the stools, and they only had half a bowl of rice.
Seeing this, Chen kept picking up food for them, and Mrs. Wu and Old Man Su also asked them to eat more.
"I've been tired all morning, how can I not eat a full meal!"
"It's okay to eat more. We run a canteen, so how can we be short of food? We won't go bankrupt." Mrs. Wu said with a smile, which made everyone else laugh.
“Try this, it’s delicious.”
"Eat!" Lian Gu also followed the example of her family and picked up a piece of meat with chopsticks for the two of them.
Mrs. Qiu and Mrs. Jiang felt embarrassed when they saw this. To be honest, when they first came to work, Mrs. Mo and Mrs. Lu told them that the Su family was very nice and asked them not to be afraid. However, because they had not had much contact with Mrs. Chen and others before, they were inevitably unsure. In fact, they had secretly wondered whether what Mrs. Mo and Mrs. Lu said was true. It was not until they actually got along with each other that they realized that the Su family was really very nice.
From Old Man Su and Mrs. Wu to the fifth girl of the Su family and Aunt Lian, they were all very nice and treated them as real family. They didn't make them feel like they were living under someone else's roof at all. Although they still felt a little uncomfortable, it was only because they were not familiar with each other and it soon disappeared. They felt more unworthy, so they worked harder hoping to repay the Su family's kindness.
"Thank you, Aunt Lian."
"We have enough, no more, it's too much."
"Yeah, the bowl is almost full."
The two of them looked at the dishes that were almost piled up in their bowls and expressed their gratitude one by one.
The Su family gave up when they saw that the bowls were almost full.
But let them feel free to treat it as their own home.
The two of them thanked each other again and then started eating.
To be honest, no matter how many times they eat it, Qiu and Jiang still think this dish is so delicious. They have never eaten such delicious dishes since they were born. They don’t know how the fifth girl of the Su family made it. Even an ordinary stir-fried vegetable is so delicious.
Qiu's favorite dish was the stir-fried pig intestines. She'd eaten pig intestines before, but every bite made her want to vomit. She'd never eaten one that was tasteless. It was crispy and chewy, spicy and flavorful, and she never got tired of it. And then there was the pickled fish. The fish was tender, and the broth was sour and spicy, appetizing. She could eat several large bowls of rice with that broth. If she wasn't worried about eating too much, she could drink the entire pot of broth by herself and then have five or six bowls of rice.
The same was true for Jiang. She had never eaten such delicious food before. When she first came two days ago, she saw the guests eating so happily and was still wondering how delicious the food must be. It was not until she had lunch that she realized that it was really delicious. Her favorite dish was spicy braised pig's trotters, but that dish always sold well and there was basically no leftovers. Because it rained that day, there were some left over. She ate a piece and was really amazed. How could there be such delicious pig's trotters? They were soft and sticky, with a strong aroma of braised food mixed with the fragrance of chili peppers. It was really delicious. There was also braised lion's head. It was full of meat in one bite. It was so satisfying. The sauce wrapped the whole meat, melted in the mouth, and was so fragrant that people were almost stunned by the fragrance.
Jiang couldn't stop eating one mouthful after another.
It wasn't just the two of them. Even Mrs. Mo and Mrs. Lu, who had been working here for a few months, couldn't get enough to eat! Besides working every day, the thing they looked forward to most was eating. Honestly, even if they weren't paid, they'd be willing to work just for the food. How could it be so delicious?
For a moment, the only sound in the yard was the clattering of dishes and chopsticks during meals.
After dinner, Jiang and others rushed to collect the dishes, while Su Li and Su Hong were busy preparing dinner.
Chen and Su Li and others went outside.
The rice was delivered from Sun's Rice Shop.
During this period, not only a lot of vegetables, fruits and melons were used, but also a lot of rice. Su Li would tell Zeng Laoer the quantity of vegetables, fruits and melons needed every day, and ask Zeng Laoer to buy them when he went to sell things. As for rice, she still went to her fourth aunt's house to buy it.
Now that it was almost gone, he asked someone to pass on a message and have it delivered.
"Fourth uncle."
"Brother-in-law, why are you the one delivering it today?" Chen was a little surprised. After all, it was the rice shop clerk who delivered it before.
"Hehe, I have nothing to do anyway, so I came here." Sun Lao San smiled and looked around the Su family restaurant.
Wow, it’s so big, he thought it was a small room.
Hey, it seems there is a backyard. Sun Laosan stretched his neck to look back, and sure enough, he found that there were several rooms in the backyard, which looked quite spacious.
The Su family has really become rich. It hasn't been long since they were able to open a food store in the county. Although I heard that the food store is rented, judging from the rice and flour they buy, the daily income is not less than that of his rice store, maybe even more. In time, next year, no, the year after, maybe they will be able to buy a house in the county.
Thinking of this, Sun Laosan felt a little jealous, but soon he felt that he should be happy. After all, the Su family's business was good, and his family's business was also good!
"By the way, brother-in-law, have you had lunch?" Chen asked while checking the rice and flour. Although they were relatives, she still had to check what needed to be checked.
Sun Lao San heard this and said, "Not yet."
Well, he admitted that he had deliberately not eaten lunch. After all, his sister-in-law's family ran a canteen and he had never been there to eat.
Chen was not surprised to hear this. Her brother-in-law was just like that. He loved to take advantage of others. Every time he came back to her parents' home, he would take away a lot of the vegetables and chickens her parents raised...
Fortunately, there were still some vegetables and braised dishes left from the meal I had just had, so I could cut some out and eat them.
"Then eat here. Wait a minute, I'll get it for you." After saying that, Chen also finished the inspection.
No problem. After Chen and everyone moved the food to the backyard kitchen, she fished out some pig ears, braised pork, and braised pork intestines and cut them up. Then she picked up the remaining shredded pork with fish flavor and various side dishes and brought them outside in a plate.
Seeing this, Sun Lao San kept saying, "Oh, how can this be so embarrassing..."
"Just put it here..."
Chen just ignored it, put the food down and left with the excuse of going to get the money.
Sun Laosan was left sitting alone outside the shop, eating happily, but the smile on his face gradually faded when he saw the pig ears and pig intestines.
This...this...can this be delicious?
The expression on his face changed a lot for a moment, and he immediately asked his sister-in-law why she gave him these to eat and whether she looked down on him.
But in the end, he thought that the rice and flour had not been paid for yet, and he would have to deal with them again in the future, so he endured it.
But he was obviously not as happy as he was when he just got the advantage.
Fortunately, there were other dishes besides these two. He picked up the braised meat next to it with chopsticks and put it into his mouth.
To be honest, the color of the meat looked very strange, and Sun Laosan didn't have much hope. However, he was still shocked by the taste the moment he put it in his mouth.
Why did this meat taste completely different from anything he had eaten before? It had an indescribable fragrance, and it wasn't dry at all. It was so delicious! Sun Lao San ate a piece, then, unconvinced, took another. Indeed, it still tasted the same, delicious. Before he knew it, he had devoured half the plate of braised meat in one go.
Then he looked at the other dishes, some of which he recognized and some he didn't. For example, he didn't recognize this colorful dish. He still took a small bite and found that it was sour and spicy. Not to mention it was delicious, especially with rice. Soon, a bowl of rice was gone. Fortunately, Chen knew that one bowl might not be enough, so there was a small half bucket of rice next to it. Sun Laosan served another bowl. At this time, there were not many dishes in the bowl, only the braised pig ears and pig intestines next to it. Sun Laosan was a little hesitant. He didn't know whether he should try it.
But in the end, the delicious food occupied his mind, and he still stretched out his chopsticks to the braised pork intestines.
He looked at the layered pig intestines on the chopsticks and knew what part of the intestines they were from. He closed his eyes, gritted his teeth and put it in his mouth. The expected stinky pig intestines smell did not come, but instead the aroma of the braised meat and the unique meaty aroma of the pig intestines filled his mouth.
He chewed it twice and it was really delicious. It was easy to chew and he chewed it up in no time and swallowed it without much chewing.
Sun Laosan ate several mouthfuls before stopping. Then he looked at the pig ears next to him. The pig ears were cut very thinly and looked delicious. Sun Laosan didn't hesitate any more and reached for them with his chopsticks.
