"Mom, what is this sweet and crunchy thing called?"
"This is called sweet and sour pork. It's made from tenderloin. It's sweet and sour, so it's called sweet and sour pork."
Lu Yuan recited it silently and ate two more pieces.
Luo Jinniang liked to eat sour food since she was pregnant, and the sweet and sour pork was so crispy that she and Lu Yuan enjoyed it.
"Brother Yu, let's have a drink."
"Yeah, it's delicious. You drink it and I eat it."
Qi Benyan wanted to have a drink with Yu Zhiheng, but Yu Zhiheng was distracted by the food, and the boy's chopsticks almost left an afterimage on the table.
He still couldn't let go and turned to look at Luo Jinniang, worried that she might not be able to eat well.
As a result, I saw Luo Jinniang eating so much. If Jiang Ning and Aunt Zhao hadn't taken care of her as a pregnant woman, she would have stood up and ate it.
Luo Jinniang ate happily and did not notice the look in her husband's eyes.
Qi Benyan felt relieved when he saw that Luo Jinniang was eating well, but when he turned around, he found that there were only a few pieces of his favorite braised pork left.
Looking at Yu Zhiheng again, there was obviously still meat in his mouth, but he kept putting it in his mouth.
Seeing Yu Zhiheng like this, Qi Benyan no longer cared about table manners, rolled up his sleeves and started eating.
The men eating could hear the sounds of chewing and chopsticks hitting the dishes, and the group of people ate hard.
The woman's side was a little better, and she didn't stop talking and joking while eating and drinking.
Jiang Ning saw that most of the dishes on the man's side were cleared, so he quickly called Aunt Zhao and brought out the stewed corn ribs soup.
"Everyone, let's have some more soup. This soup is stewed to warm you up."
Yu Zhiheng was already burping with his stomach on his back, but when he saw the clear pork ribs soup, he immediately took a bowl to ladle out the soup.
Seeing the way Qi Benyan looked at him, Yu Zhiheng chuckled.
"In front of delicious food, I don't care about being polite, hahaha."
Qi Benyang's appearance just now was no less conciliatory. Hearing this, he just smiled and shook his head.
Yu Zhiheng took a sip of hot soup and narrowed his eyes comfortably.
"This soup is so delicious. Try it quickly."
Jiang Ning originally thought that there would be some leftover dishes at the women's table, but they all finished eating. When the dishes were being cleared, the women at the table came to their senses and blushed.
Especially Luo Jinniang blushed the most.
I usually feel very happy, but I want to eat, and I tend to vomit when I eat.
I finally managed to eat something that tasted good today without vomiting. Even though I was young, the child in my belly seemed to have been hungry for several days.
Luo Jinniang has been eating non-stop since she sat down, and she was growling with hunger while eating.
Seeing that Luo Jinniang was shy, Aunt Zhao hurriedly comforted her.
"People who are pregnant are like this. When the pregnancy is over, they will want to eat this or that from time to time, but if they really put it on the table, they won't be able to eat anything. Eat more while you can."
Pork ribs soup was ladled out for everyone. Everyone who had eaten and drank enough started chatting while drinking the soup.
This was the most filling and delicious meal Luo Jinniang had ever eaten. She originally thought about not eating it, but when she saw the pork rib soup she couldn't help but drink it. She fell in love with it after one bite.
"Jiang Ning, when your new store opens, I will definitely be a regular customer. When will your store open?"
"There are still some things that need to be prepared, and we haven't recruited enough people yet."
Wang Jinxiao came here with his wife. His wife Liu Yanzhi had told him earlier that she also wanted to work in Jiang Ning's shop.
No need to ask for anything, as long as the money can be paid on time and no deductions are made.
Liu Yanzhi heard Jiang Ning say that he hadn't recruited enough people yet, so he thought this was an opportunity.
"Well, Shopkeeper Jiang, I am Wang Jinxiao's wife. Do you think I can do it? I can do any dirty work."
"How can I not do it? I'm happy to do it. You can come when the shop opens. The wages will wait for now. I haven't thought about it yet."
Liu Yanzhi happily poured himself a glass of wine, and Wang Jinxiao also came over to offer Jiang Ning a drink.
When Aunt Zhao saw her brother-in-law and sister-in-law coming, she also poured a glass of wine to toast Jiang Ning.
"Come on, shopkeeper, our whole family will follow you from now on."
Everyone laughed, and Jiang Ning drank it all.
Speaking of preparations, Jiang Ning remembered that she had planned to make cotton-padded jackets and quilts two days ago.
"Jin Niang, is your embroiderer busy recently? I don't know anyone else. I would like to lend your embroiderer to make some things for the winter. The money will definitely be enough."
Luo Jinniang has always had a good impression of Jiang Ning because she has a bad appetite, but Jiang Ning's cooking is delicious.
Hearing that Jiang Ning had something to ask him, he was very happy to help.
"Okay, whatever you want to do, I have it all, just tell me."
Jiang Ning thought for a while and said to Luo Jinniang.
"I want to make four quilts, four cotton-padded coats, and eight leather coats."
The so-called jacket leather is the clothes worn outside a cotton-padded jacket in winter. Cotton-padded jackets are thick and difficult to wash and dry. Usually, a jacket jacket is worn outside to change and wash. It is easy to wash and resistant to stains.
"Okay, whenever you have time, I will ask my embroiderer to come to the shop to measure the size for you. Now I do less embroidery work, so the embroiderer is free."
Jiang Ning scooped another spoonful of soup for Luo Jinniang and another spoonful for herself.
"I'll bring pork rib soup with wine. I'd like to thank Jin Niang first."
Luo Jinniang didn't expect Jiang Ning to be like this, so she smiled and climbed on the table.
When the children were full, they gathered together to play and everyone talked about everything from food, clothing, housing and transportation to world affairs.
"Everyone, I have to go back to the village. I won't be able to leave until the city gate closes later. There is still food and drink in the kitchen. If you need anything, please call Aunt Zhao. I'll take the children away first."
Jiang Ning handed over the shop to Aunt Zhao to deal with the aftermath, and hurried back with her children.
