Looking at Li Kexin, who was thin, his face was full of melancholy, but he felt sorry for Zhang Yi.

And the heartwarming words that came out of her mouth made Zhang Yi's heart sigh even more.

At Li Kexin's age, if she is placed in the future who is not a baby under the wings of her parents at home, and she is lost in this kind of place, if it is not for the protection of Li Chunfang and other sisters.... Thinking about it, I feel a little pity in my heart.

It's just that now the building has become like this, and it's redundant to say more now, so I want to get the braised vegetables out as soon as possible, so that the little girls in the building can be relieved.

"It's not hard, hehe, it's not hard!" Zhang Yi smiled at Li Kexin, saying that a smile can infect people's hearts, as a man, how can a woman be sad every day?

So even though he was very worried about the braised vegetables in his heart, Zhang Yi still cheered up and walked towards the kitchen.

"Wait!"

Just took two steps, Li Kexin's voice came again.

Zhang Yi turned his head to look, and at some point, Li Kexin had slowly walked downstairs.

"Seventeen Niang?"

Zhang Yi was a little puzzled.

"You're going to help out in the kitchen, aren't you?" Li Kexin walked and said to Zhang Yi: "It just so happens that I am idle here, so I simply went to the kitchen to help." You and Aunt Li are busy every day, I'm a little embarrassed! ”

"Huh?" Zhang Yi was stunned, Seventeen Niang actually wanted to go to the kitchen to help?

He didn't even think of it!

But Zhang Yi is very clear about the kitchen, although Aunt Li cleaned up quite cleanly, but after all, the kitchen is the kitchen, and the most important thing is that there is no gas stove in this era, it is still firewood and the ventilation is not good.

Zhang Yi believes that it is impossible for Li Kexin not to know about such a situation, but she wants to help, such a kind-hearted and beautiful person is simply the best choice to be a wife!

It's just that such thoughts can only be thought about in the head, after all... After all, other people's seniority is a generation older than themselves!

"You're going, can't I go?" Li Kexin smiled slightly and asked rhetorically.

Ignoring Zhang Yi's daze expression, Li Kexin walked straight towards the kitchen.

Smelling the fragrant breeze wafting through his nose, Zhang Yi came to his senses and hurriedly carried the pig's ears into the kitchen.

The kitchen is not large, only a dozen square meters of space.

However, it is in response to the sentence that the sparrow is small and has all the organs, and there are a lot of stoves, cupboards, vegetable racks, and water tanks in a small space.

Think about it, after all, Chunfanglou opened the door to do business, although it was a technical meal, but the supply that should be there was indispensable.

When she came to the kitchen, Aunt Li had already started her busy day, and was squatting by the window to pick vegetables, when she saw Li Kexin and Zhang Yi hurriedly got up and greeted: "Xiao Yi, Kexin, why are you here?" ”

Zhang Yi entered the kitchen normally, after all, Zhang Yi was in charge of the purchase of ingredients in the building, but Li Kexin was different, she was a girl in the building, and according to the rules, the kitchen was not where she came.

"Seventeen Niang is here to help!" Zhang Yi smiled at Aunt Li, but his hand was not idle, while adding water to the cauldron on the stove, and then began to throw the pork bones sent by the butcher into the basin to clean.

In fact, there is a special way to boil brine.

If the brine or bone broth is used for the brine, the brine will undoubtedly taste better, and of course it will be better if you use stock (chicken broth).

It's just that today's Chunfanglou doesn't have that condition at all, and having pork bone soup is always better than clear water.

What's more, Zhang Yi only has less than two taels of silver left on him now, and the less than two taels of silver in his plan is still very useful, how can he spend it indiscriminately?

Seeing that Zhang Yi was busy, Li Kexin couldn't help, so he kept standing there quietly, thinking that Zhang Yi needed to call her.

At this time, Aunt Li also put down the work in her hand, she had already seen Zhang Yi bring back a lot of ingredients, frowned, and asked Zhang Yi, "What's the matter, I bought so many things today?"

"Well, I bought quite a bit!" Zhang Yi quickly cleaned the pork bones and threw them into the pot, saying: "Don't worry about things first, come to Aunt Li to help, boil on high heat, and then boil the soup on low heat, you can only do it if you burn the fire!" ”

Burning fire is a science, and there are large and small fires, as well as civil and military.

The fire is fierce, and it is most suitable for stir-frying, and the dishes made are tender and delicious, and the meat is not soft, so it is called Wuhuo.

However, the small fire is different, the fire power is smaller, so compared to the cooking of the dishes, it feels a little powerless, and the taste of the cooking is slightly inferior, so the small fire is called a simmer.

As the saying goes, there is a reason for the existence of everything, although it is not suitable for stir-frying with less power over a simmer, but it is the most suitable for stewed soup.

After boiling the soup, the soup is simmered, because the heat is small, so the soup will not boil too much, and because the heat is even, it can best bring out the essence of the ingredients in the soup.

Zhang Yi came from a later life, if he used a gas stove, it might be okay, but it was obviously a little embarrassing to use firewood, but fortunately, Aunt Li was an expert in burning fire, and the size of the fire was naturally the most appropriate for her to control.

Although she felt sorry for Zhang Yi's lavish spending, the corners of Aunt Li's mouth moved, but she finally endured it. He sat on the bench under the stove and began to make soup according to Zhang Yi's request.

Aunt Li was actually a girl in the building, but her appearance was mediocre, and then she became a cook, and for decades, because of her lowly nationality and the bad reputation of her born in Chunfanglou, it was difficult to find her in-laws, so she was delayed.

After Li Chunfang took over Chunfang Building, she treated people very well, which made her dispel the idea of being good.

After all, now that I'm older, even if I get out of the building, maybe it's worse than now!

Because she has no children and no daughters, she is also the same as other girls in the building for Zhang Yi, and regards Zhang Yi as the backbone of the building, and even her son, but the difference in identity makes her only care secretly.

Therefore, even when Chunfanglou was on the verge of bankruptcy, Zhang Yi spent money lavishly, she only frowned, but did not say anything.

With Aunt Li lighting the fire to boil pork bone soup, Zhang Yi finally had time to take care of the pig's ears at this time, in addition to cleaning, hair clamping is one of the most important processes.

Watching Zhang Yi put the cleaned pig ears in the basin and pick up the hair, Li Kexin finally showed a smile on his face.

Not being able to help just now made her feel guilty to death, seeing that Zhang Yi and Aunt Li both had work to do, but she could only watch.

Since there is something that can help, Li Kexin naturally can't take it seriously, pulled up his long sleeves, and said to Zhang Yi: "Or, I'll help you pick your hair, right?" ”
