Yun Jin didn't care what they said at all. She had already spread the word and asked He Tingchuan to invite some of his team leaders to warm up the atmosphere, saying that the opening ceremony would be a free event tonight.
As for the ingredients, Li's mother gave Yun Jin and the others the green beans, eggplants, cucumbers, chives, and other vegetables she grew at wholesale prices.
The crayfish and fish were all caught by the kids in the compound. Yun Jin bought them back for one cent per pound, and sold them for 1.98 yuan a plate of crayfish.
Snails are 0.68 per plate.
Grilled fish costs 1.68 each.
Garlic eggplant is 0.38 each.
As for other green vegetables, such as green beans and chives, they cost one cent each and were skewered on bamboo sticks.
The same goes for corn; it's 0.3 yuan a whole roasted ear of corn.
It's not the kind where they're strung together one by one.
As for meat, they sell pork belly, which comes in skewers for three cents a skewer, with two thin slices on each skewer.
Forget about beef; it's very hard to find beef these days.
Yun Jin buys pig lungs and pig hearts whenever she can, but it mostly depends on Gao Saozi's ability; it's impossible for Yun Jin to get up early.
The task of buying groceries was left to Sister-in-law Gao.
Li Aimei was in charge of grilling the meat.
Yun Jin is the proprietress, responsible for greeting guests.
After the three of them had finished preparing enthusiastically, a light was turned on at the entrance of the courtyard after dark, waiting for the people He Tingchuan had invited to come and support them, as well as other people who came to watch the excitement.
Yun Jin even specially invited Political Commissar Li over: "Try it and see how it tastes, and see if it's clean and hygienic."
Political Commissar Li gave him face and let him eat a skewer of grilled pork belly. And I must say, the meat was delicious to begin with, but grilled like this, sprinkled with chili powder and seasonings, it tasted surprisingly good.
Political Commissar Li ate without saying a word: "The taste is good, and it's clean and hygienic, but you must have all the necessary paperwork. You can't do anything haphazardly."
Yun Jin nodded and assured him, "Don't worry, Political Commissar, I definitely won't do anything reckless."
As he spoke, he asked He Tingchuan to invite the political commissar over to sit down, and served peanuts, as well as drinks and soda.
He Tingchuan drank two cups with him, which pleased Political Commissar Li, who then said he wanted to go find the division commander.
Yun Jin immediately understood and packed up the grilled meat, fish, and leeks that Li Aimei had just grilled, asking Political Commissar Li to take them over, saying they could eat and chat at the same time.
Political Commissar Li gave Yun Jin an appreciative look and said to He Tingchuan, "You've married a good wife, kid. Be happy about it!"
He Tingchuan: "..."
Should I secretly rejoice?
I'm always openly happy; didn't you see the smile on my face?
