Chapter 22: Can't afford to eat meat
After Gao Lijie left, Wen Jiali breathed a sigh of relief.
Obviously, Gao Lijie is very enthusiastic every time she sees her, and she has never quarreled with her, but she just feels uncomfortable.
I always feel that every time she says something, she can feel a little pressure.
Especially after she lost her job, every time she met her, she said that she was very busy with work and wanted to quit her job.
But she said so many times, and she didn't resign, so why bother talking about it every day, and talking to her, the person who was dismissed.
Speaking of Wen Jiali's "resignation", it was also because her colleagues gave her a very low score. She didn't understand that she hadn't had any conflicts with her colleagues, and that she rated them highly.
As a result, she was dismissed with the lowest score.
Wen Jiali was more ashamed of this matter, feeling that she was very bad, and she was hated by everyone.
"Forget it, don't think about it, the most important thing now is to make money by selling food." Wen Jiali quickly shook her head, intending to get rid of those bad emotions.
She continued to wander around the vegetable section and the butcher stalls, intending to make a few more flavors.
After returning home, she prepared all the ingredients, worked all night, and called Wu Meiyun up in the middle to help herself.
"Really, I'm going to my daughter now." Wu Meiyun was not very convinced,
Obviously she is a "chef", but now she is actually giving people a hand.
"Then why don't you do it, and I'll give you a hand?" Chu Lian knew that her mother's cooking was delicious, but she had a big problem that she was lazy.
I don't know why, she just can do it, but she doesn't want to do it.
Occasionally, when she is in a good mood, she will cook all kinds of delicacies to treat her father, otherwise she is usually too lazy not to enter the kitchen, and she finds all kinds of reasons.
"You do it, you need to exercise." Wu Meiyun quickly fled the kitchen.
Wen Jiali looked at her back a little helplessly, she and her mother are two extremes in cooking, one is that it can be delicious without working hard, as if it is born to do it. One is how hard you work and what you make, that is, the kind that makes do.
For this reason, Wu Meiyun also sighed and said that her daughter is not as talented as her - the talent of cooking.
Before going to bed at night, she put all the boxed lunches in the refrigerator and left the house the next day with a pretended bag.
Then outside the door, I hid in a place where other cats couldn't see it, put the lunch box in my backpack, and went downstairs for a walk.
When she came back, she saw Wu Meiyun cooking the sausage, so she ran over to surround the plate of sausages with a greedy face.
"You're back so soon?" Wu Meiyun asked curiously when she saw her empty-handed.
"Oh no, it's been an hour since I left. Mom, how did you cook sausages today? I want to eat fat sausages. Wen Jiali salivated and looked at the tender and said very much.
In fact, when she was a child, she didn't like to eat fat sausages and thought it was delicious, but later because of Kanglian, she began to promote various synthetic meats, and she began to miss the natural meat she ate when she was a child.
Especially the fat sausage, she likes to fry the spicy and spicy ones the most, and then eat them with rice.
"You make noise yourself, and I don't eat spicy." Wu Meiyun put a mouthful in her mouth and said:
"It's delicious."
"But it always feels delicious." Wen Jiali said with some embarrassment.
"It's a fart, it's some people who don't do it cleanly, your aunt does it very clean, although it's not as clean as mine." Wu Meiyun rolled her eyes.
"But it's not what you did, and I still think it's not as delicious as stir-frying, if this is fried, I can eat three bowls of rice." Wen Jiali raised three fingers and said.
"Then what kind of meat do you eat, just eat the rice." Wu Meiyun hurriedly took another bite as if she was protecting her food.
"This is what my aunt sent me last time, right? Can you still eat this natural meat? Wen Jiali felt a little uncomfortable thinking about this.
Since the introduction of various synthetic meats a decade ago, there is almost no natural meat to be found in the city.
Only a small number of people in the countryside who raise livestock, or have pastures, have this treatment.
And her aunt works on their ranch, so she gets it often.
However, she can't send them often, this fat sausage was sent with a batch of winter food the year before last.
Wu Meiyun did not eat the meat directly after seeing it, but carefully separated the meat from the internal organs, cut the meat into pieces, wrapped them in a plastic bag and put them at the bottom of the refrigerator.
"After eating the fat intestines, there will be no internal organs, only some meat that can be used to make soup." Wu Meiyun said melancholy like a person in the last days who had eaten out of food.
"Can't my aunt get any more meat from there?" Wen Jiali asked curiously.
"Your aunt isn't there anymore, she's retired. Although there will be retirement benefits, it is only enough for their family to eat, and now natural meat is getting more and more expensive, can we still eat it in the future? After Wu Meiyun finished speaking, she chewed the fat intestines in her mouth fiercely, as if she was eating the last supper.
"Don't be so pessimistic, I think synthetic meat tastes good." Wen Jiali felt that the synthetic meat was also passable.
And synthetic meat is not out because animal husbandry can't do it, but for the protection of animals.
I don't know when the reproductive ability of those animals has deteriorated, and even their own domestic ones cannot reproduce quickly.
Kanglian's scientists didn't think of a way, but later came to the conclusion that Kangyu's water quality was problematic.
So in order to find a solution to this problem, they vigorously introduced synthetic meat, increased taxes on breeding and animal husbandry, and reduced the number of animals being slaughtered.
As a result, real meat is becoming more and more expensive, many people cannot afford it, and farms and ranches have closed down one after another.
Only some of the well-pocketed remained, but the prices were also frighteningly expensive.
After discovering that there was a problem with the water quality, Kanglian also tried to find some planets that could survive, but although nearby planets could be landed, none of them could be survived by humans.
"That can be the same, when we were young, we ate meat at will, and I had ...... all of them."
"There's meat in every meal, you've said it many times." Wen Jiali continued Wu Meiyun's words.
To be honest, she envied her mother very much, she lived in an era when the natural environment was not bad and technology was not backward when she was a child.
If you want to live in the city, you can enjoy the convenience in the city, and if you want to feel the nature, you can go to your grandmother in the countryside and eat natural food and eat your own beef, not to mention how happy you are.
"Seeing the envious look on your face, I want to say it one more time." Wu Meiyun said very much.
provoked Wen Jiali to roll her eyes behind her back.
"I think it's probably because people of my generation didn't pay much attention to it, which led to environmental problems and worse water quality.
But at that time, we didn't notice anything wrong, and we didn't even think that retribution would come so quickly. I especially want to know if the people who often talk about me are still alive. Wu Meiyun sighed.
