Braised and boiled
"Here you go!" The fast car that Jiang Kuanyu was riding was about to stop narrowly at a distance of less than a meter from Yao Yi. He pulled out the neatly folded stack of money in his pocket.
"All sold?" Yao Yi asked, glancing at the basket behind his car.
"Well, it's all sold, and some people haven't bought it!" Jiang Kuan wiped the sweat from his face and said excitedly with a bright smile.
"It's yours!" Yao Yi counted it, took out seven yuan and eight cents and handed it to Jiang Kuan.
"Thank you! What is that stew? Jiang Kuan was thinking about another business in his heart, and when he saw Yao Yi put the money away, he asked.
"Well, braised is to put meat or other things, and spices, soy sauce, sugar, and spicy ...... Put it in the pot and cook it slowly, during which it depends on the heat and the skill of the seasoner, only in this way can it be cooked fragrant and delicious! Yao Yi gave a general introduction.
"And when am I coming over this afternoon to pick up the goods?" Jiang Kuan asked.
"Hmm...... It's too late today, come over tomorrow at half past three in the afternoon! Yao Yi looked at the sky and said after a while.
"Okay, see you tomorrow morning!" Jiang Kuan nodded and rode away.
Because tomorrow is just to test the water, Yao Yi is going to cook some pig's head, pig's trotters and soy products, which are cheaper than the price at this time.
Yao Yi carried two baskets of materials home, divided the pig's head and pig's trotters into two pieces for easy cleaning, as well as the later marinating, boiling water, skimming and cleaning, boiling the enlargement material over high heat, turning to low heat and simmering slowly, and when Yao Jianguo and his wife came back, they smelled the rich fragrance wafting from their own home.
"Lao Yao, what are you doing with Yiyi?" Aunt Wang Huijuan next door had already smelled the fragrance, but she knew that the things Yao Jianguo had sold in the morning had been made up by Yao Yi of his family, so when she saw Yao Jianguo and his wife coming back, she asked.
"Sister Wang, I just came back and I don't know yet!" Yao Jianguo explained with a smile.
"Yiyi, this kid is really capable, you see that our family is strong since the fragrance of your house wafted out, but I cried and made trouble with me several times! I can't beat it, and I can't coax it! Wang Huijuan pointed to her son who was playing with dirt on the side and scolded with a smile.
"Qiangqiang is still young, when I turn around, I will go over to give you and the child a taste!" Yao Jianguo knew what he meant as soon as he heard this, and hurriedly followed her words.
"Thank you then!" Wang Huijuan said and beckoned to her son: "Come and be strong, you little gluttonous cat, thank you Uncle Yao and Aunt Li!" ”
"Sister Wang, you are too polite, everyone in the neighborhood doesn't have to be so polite!" Yao Jianguo rubbed Qiangqiang's hair and went home with Li Mei.
"Dad, why were you out there just now and not coming home?" Yao Yi took out a piece of pork head meat and dried fragrant dried meat from the pot, cut it into slices of one size and put them on a plate.
"Oh, next door, your aunt asked our family what to eat?" Yao Jianguo washed his hands, took a piece of fatty pig's head meat with chopsticks and put it in his mouth, and was immediately conquered by the smell of sauce, and he said inarticulately.
"Your dad promised someone to bring some to her to taste!" Li Mei glared at her husband and blamed him for being arrogant.
"This person says that the child wants to eat, what else can I do?" Yao Jianguo is also very helpless.
"You, you, you said that you gave it to the strong family or not to the Duoduo family, these are all neighbors! Look at how much a pound of meat is now, but you gave away two or three yuan for this promise? "This Wang Huijuan is not once or twice, every time the neighbor cooks something delicious, she always shows up with her son, and everyone will give more or less for the sake of face, but she Wang Huijuan is good, every time she makes something delicious at home, she closes the door tightly, even if there is a child playing in her house, the child will be driven away. Thinking of this, Li Mei was angry, and she complained.
"Okay, Mom, don't be angry, you can eat it first and I'll send it over!" Yao Yi knew that Li Mei couldn't get used to Wang Huijuan as a person, and she was afraid that the two of them would quarrel over an insignificant person again, so she hurriedly comforted.
Yao Yi took out seven or eight pieces of dried incense, dried beans, dried flowers and a small piece of meat from the pot, sliced and diced them, put two flat bowls and went out.
"Is Aunt Liu at home?" Yao Yi knocked on the door on the right and shouted inside.
"It's Yiyi! Can I help you? Liu Huihui heard Yao Yi's voice and immediately opened the door and said with concern.
"Don't you cook some food at home, send some over to you and your family to taste!" Yao Yi handed over the bowl that had been filled with more meat by herself.
"What's so embarrassing about that? You can keep it for your own home! Liu Huihui saw the meat in the bowl and hurriedly refused.
"There are still some at home, and I don't take much to give you a taste!" Yao Yi stuffed the bowl into Liu Huihui's hand, turned around and wanted to go to Wang Huijuan's house.
"Aunt Wang gives your family a taste!" Yao Yicai approached Wang Huijuan's house and saw her open the door and leaning against the door frame to look at Liu Huihui's house.
"Oh, Yiyi's family is really polite!" Wang Huijuan took the bowl, glanced at it, and saw that there was meat, so she smiled and said.
"Everyone is a neighbor, and we should communicate with each other!" Yao Yi said with a sincere smile.
"Hehe......" Wang Huijuan also knew her evaluation among the neighbors, and she smiled a little embarrassedly.
"Alas, Yiyi, your family has been a breakfast stall recently, a night market, and a vegetable market, which is making a lot of money!" Wang Huijuan also asked Li Mei about this, but she was beaten by Li Mei haha
was fooled, and now she saw Yao Yi, the child, coming over, so she brought up the old words again.
"Aunt Wang, my family is a small business, making ends meet, unlike my Uncle Xu, who is a big business, and I heard a few days ago that I am going to buy you a house in the city center!" Yao Yi's image of Wang Huijuan's husband Xu Bing is still two years before the original owner's memory, Xu Bing, who had been doing nothing at home two years ago, suddenly hyped up that his younger brother in the provincial capital had made money and wanted to take him to make a fortune together, and when he left, he threatened that the next time he came back would be the day when he bought a house in the city center for his wife and children.
"Your family's little fight is definitely not comparable to Qiangqiang's father." Wang Huijuan nodded in agreement.
"Oh yes, Yiyi, how much money did your family make lately? Tell your aunt about it, and your aunt promises not to talk nonsense! Suddenly, Wang Huijuan seemed to think of something, and leaned close to Yao Yi's ear and asked.
"Auntie, I know that, I have to ask my mother, she is in charge of the money in our family, and your family is so powerful, you should also be in charge of the money!" Yao Yi knew that Wang Huijuan didn't like to deal with Li Mei the most, so she turned the topic to Li Mei.
"Yes, I really don't see that your mother still has this status at home?" Xu Bing would not take the initiative to hand over a penny to Wang Huijuan, and now hearing Yao Yi say this, she only felt that there was a breath in her heart that she couldn't go up or down, and she couldn't help but pout and mock.
"Doesn't my aunt have a saying like that! This man is not good-looking, the sea is not to be beaten, my mother is the person who is not good-looking, not like you! Yao Yi handed over the bowl and left without looking back.
In the afternoon, when Liu Huihui came to return the bowl, she praised the stew, and bought half a catty of pig's head meat to prepare for Duoduo's father in the evening.
It was still the basket in the morning, Yao Jianguo was carrying the basket in front, and Yao Yi was following behind with a cutting board and a knife.
"Uncle, you're here!" Jiang Kuan greeted the two happily as soon as he saw them.
Although Yao Jianguo didn't like Jiang Kuan very much, he didn't say anything for Yao Yi's face, just squeezed out a smile and nodded, and started to do things silently.
"What is this for?" Jiang Kuan asked curiously when he saw what Yao Yi was doing.
"Of course, it's for you to do business, or let people want how much you want to chop for others!" Yao Yi gave him a blank look, and lifted the basket that had been tied to let him see the stew inside.
"Oh, oh yes!" Jiang Kuan reacted at this time, and suddenly an unnatural flush appeared on his face.
"Three pieces of pig's head meat and pig's trotters, and one pound of dried tofu and the like." Yao Yi combined the price he bought, and his own labor, seasonings and other losses.
"Okay, then I'll look for you at the barbecue stall at nine o'clock in the evening!" After Jiang Kuan finished speaking, he rode his bicycle and shouted all the way to the residential area.
"Yiyi, do you think he can do it?" Yao Jianguo looked at Jiang Kuan's distant figure and asked worriedly.
"Dad, won't you know if you can try it?" Although Yao Yi knew that this boiled boil would be popular in many families in the future, she was a little unsure now, and she was just doing this to test the water for the business she wanted to do in the future.
"Oh, Dad, don't think about it, I'm going home to prepare for the stall!" Yao Yi pulled Yao Jianguo's sleeve and reminded.
Although Yao Yi said it relaxedly, she was still worried in her heart, it was okay when the guests were busy, as long as she was free, her eyes would look at both sides of the road involuntarily, hoping to see Jiang Kuan's figure in the next second.
"Alas, alas...... Brother Wen, did you find that Yao Yi was a little wrong today! Jiang Dong took a bite of meat and touched Han Wen, who was silent on the side, with his shoulder.
"Eat yours!" Han Wen glanced at Jiang Dong, of course he also discovered Yao Yi's abnormality, but what does this have to do with Jiang Dong, ask him to talk more.
"Brother Wen, don't you go up and care?" Jiang Dong raised his eyebrows.
"Just take care of yourself!" Han Wen irritably picked up a skewer and took a bite, but he frowned and put the skewer down, but the mouthful of green pepper in his mouth was chewed and swallowed directly.
"Brother Wen, didn't I remember that you didn't eat green peppers?" Jiang Dong's eyes widened as if he had seen a ghost, looking at the bitten green pepper, and exclaimed in disbelief.
"Isn't it okay to change the flavor once in a while?" Han Wen ate a few mouthfuls of spicy tang in a row before diluting the green pepper flavor in his mouth, and he said coldly.
"Hehehe...... Yes, of course! "Jiang Dong remembers that once when he went to Han's house, his aunt cooked and put a few diced green peppers, but the eldest young master refused to touch a chopstick, even if he was reprimanded by the old man, he was indifferent, but now he said that he would change his taste and deceive the ghost.
"If you don't eat it, if you don't eat it, take it away!" Han Wen was a little angry by his laughter, and he spoke impatiently.
"Eat, I'll eat, I promise to finish eating......" Jiangdong still wanted to say a few words, but saw a figure riding a bicycle all the way over. He looked at it carefully and couldn't help but exclaim, "Brother Wen, Brother Wen...... Isn't that Brother Jiang that? Is he looking for trouble again? ”
"I'll go take a look!" Han Wen didn't expect that after the lesson last time, this Jiang Kuan would actually dare to come, and he couldn't help but frown and get up and walk towards Yao Yi.
