The pork belly, which has been fried and stewed before and after, is fat but not greasy, soft and tasty.
Sister Lin put a whole piece of meat on the rice soaked in broth. She put the meat piece into her mouth wrapped in rice and chewed it while praising, "It's so fragrant!"
After saying that, without waiting for Xu Wantang's answer, she put another tiger-skin pepper into the bowl. Sister Lin popped it into her mouth, not forgetting to greet Xu Wantang and Lu Yunzheng who had not yet moved their chopsticks.
"Why are you two looking at me? Eat it quickly? If you don't eat it, I'll eat it up!"
With that said, Sister Lin gave each of them a chopstick of food.
Xu Wantang feels that in addition to satisfying his own appetite, cooking is also a very fulfilling thing to receive praise from others.
When Xu Wantang saw that Sister Lin enjoyed her meal, she was naturally happy. She thanked Sister Lin with a smile and ate the tiger eggs that Sister Lin had given her.
Lu Yunzheng on the other side was in trouble. He looked at the green peppers in the bowl and frowned like a child. He held the chopsticks with his slender fingers and fiddled with them twice without leaving a trace, but never spoke.
Although food is very precious nowadays, and he has no habit of wasting it, he can't stand the taste of green peppers. During the most difficult years, he would naturally bite the bullet, but now his life is better. In the army When serving meals in the canteen, he would avoid dishes with green peppers.
But now the green pepper in his bowl was put by Xu Wantang's elders, and he had to eat it.
He put the whole green pepper into his mouth, picked up a large piece of rice, and chewed it twice with a look of death. His eyes lit up and he found that there was no annoying taste that he didn't like, and it was... quite delicious... …
The fried peppers not only remove the original spiciness of the peppers, but also make them absorb the soup more. After one bite, the fragrance of the peppers and the richness of the broth are mixed together, creating a very mysterious taste.
Lu Yunzheng wanted to swallow it in one gulp, but now he chewed it with relish.
He went back to the army that night when they received the certificate, and he hasn't been back for the past three months. He didn't know that Xu Wantang had such skills! He was a little surprised for a moment, but when he thought of Xu Wantang's behavior last night and just now, his face suddenly fell.
Xu Wantang originally planned to ask Sister Lin about her work while eating, but from the moment the food was served, Sister Lin has been immersed in eating without taking a break, giving Xu Wantang no chance to speak.
Lu Yunzheng also ate very well, filling bowl after bowl of rice. He and Sister Lin were competing, each eating more eagerly than the other.
For a while, no one spoke at the dinner table, only the sounds of chewing and picking up vegetables.
Xu Wantang had no choice but to give up and planned to ask Sister Lin later when she was almost done eating.
Finally, when Sister Lin put down the bowl and chopsticks, she was already sweating. She said with satisfaction, "It smells so good..."
Before Xu Wantang could ask, Sister Lin looked at Xu Wantang with an inscrutable expression, "It's time to get down to business after eating and drinking. Xiaotang, how much do you think your work was sold for?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Wantang immediately became energetic, put down his chopsticks, sat upright and asked, "How much?"
Sister Lin seemed to dislike her incomprehensible style, and said softly, "Why don't you guess this? Guess it quickly!"
"One thousand and five?" Xu Wantang asked tentatively.
Sister Lin shook her head, "Guess again, guess higher."
Xu Wantang gritted his teeth and said his ideal price, "...Three thousand?"
The price of 3,000 yuan was what Sun Bian said that day just to piss off Sun Xiaofang. If it could be sold for 3,000 yuan, it would be really expensive!
Sister Lin's eyes narrowed with laughter, and she slapped her hand on her thigh, "I think you can't guess it, so I'll tell you! Three thousand and five!"
Xu Wantang's beautiful almond-shaped eyes widened. She stood up immediately, and the stool legs made a creaking sound as they dragged on the floor. She didn't care at all, "Sister Lin, how much do you want to say?"
As if he couldn't believe the price, Xu Wantang asked again with a trembling voice.
Sister Lin was not impatient at all. She stood up like Xu Wantang, patted her shoulder as if coaxing a child, and repeated, "Three thousand and five! Your job was sold for three thousand and five!"
A smile suddenly appeared on Xu Wantang's bright face. As the smile appeared, Xiaoli's dimple sank deeper. She held Sister Lin's hand excitedly, "Really?!"
Infected by her emotions, Sister Lin held Xu Wantang's hand and nodded sharply, "Of course it's true!"
Sister Lin picked up the small bag she had brought with her, rummaged through it to find a wad of money, and handed it to Xu Wantang, "My neighbor's daughter is very interested in this job. Our unit has been full in the past few years and we are not recruiting outsiders. She was afraid that this job would be taken away by others, no, she even took the deposit."
Xu Wantang was surprised and happy. She thanked Sister Lin, took the money from Sister Lin's hand and touched it. She estimated that it was eighteen hundred yuan. She took out a few and handed them to Sister Lin, saying sincerely, "Sister, this is The job can be sold for so much money thanks to you as a matchmaker, otherwise I wouldn’t be able to find a way to do it myself, so just keep it in check.”
Sister Lin's face turned pale almost instantly, "Do you want to do this with me? We agreed at the beginning that I would help you build a bridge and you would treat me to dinner. When you go to the island, I will mail you some specialties. I’m so happy! By giving me money, aren’t you looking down on me and looking down on me?”
"Besides, your job is in very short supply. It has only been two years since the educated youth returned to the city. It is a time when there are many people and few jobs. Even if I don't help you set up this line, you will definitely not have to worry about selling your job!"
Sister Lin pushed Xu Wantang away and said with a stern face, "You'll make me really angry again!"
Xu Wantang had no choice but to accept the money. Although she didn't know the value of her job that well, the price of three thousand and five thousand was definitely obtained by Sister Lin for her.
Not many families can afford more than 3,000 yuan at a time these days. Without Sister Lin's matchmaking, they may not be able to meet such a wealthy family, and naturally their jobs cannot be sold at such a good price.
She is not an ungrateful person, but it may be due to the influence of her family environment. Whoever treats her better, she wants to repay a thousand times a hundred times, so she plans in her heart to go to the island and give more to Sister Lin during the holidays. Prepare some valuable specialties and gifts to repay Sister Lin's kindness.
At this time, Lu Yunzheng, who had not spoken for a long time, frowned and looked at Xu Wantang, "You want to sell your job?"
Sister Lin looked at Xu Wantang in surprise, "Didn't you tell Xiao Lu?"
After saying that, she didn't wait for Xu Wantang to answer, and answered Lu Yunzheng on her own, "Yes, isn't Xiaotang going to stay with the army to take care of you? Naturally, I can't do this job. I can still make money by selling it... "
Lu Yunzheng nodded, looking thoughtful.
Does Xu Wantang's selling of her job mean that she has never thought of returning to City B to settle down? Otherwise, she would not have sold her iron rice bowl...
In this case, he felt that his previous guess was correct: Xu Wantang may not have really wanted to divorce her from beginning to end, and her flirting with women may have been her scheming and means to tie him to her side...
Thinking of this, Lu Yunzheng's eyes grew cold.
Don't you want to attract his attention? Then he wouldn't let her get her wish!
