Chapter 316 to please
Finally, An Xia's bed was built in the fire room. It was called a fire room, but it was actually a complete house, the size of 17 or 8 square meters. When you enter the door, there was a vegetable sink and a cupboard. There was a stove and a range hood next to the window. There was a dining table in the middle, and An Xia's bed was built on the open space on the side.
"Xia Xia, Jiaojiao has been spoiled by us since childhood. Don't blame her. This child has a bad temper, but she has no bad intentions. But when you first came, she couldn't accept it, and she spoke in a little bit.
After a few days, you will get familiar with each other. Then I will buy a new bed and put it in her room so that you can live together."
"No, aunt, really, it's good. It's much better than the house in my countryside. The wall is so white. I'm dreaming to live here."
Xu Meifeng sneered in her heart and cursed a country bumpkin, thinking that you will know when you stay here to cook. After a meal, the fire room could not be treated by others.
"Okay, then you have a rest. I'll go buy some vegetables and make you a delicious meal in the evening."
Xu Meifeng went to buy vegetables, and An Xia stood up suddenly. She couldn't miss the opportunity to please her. She now needs to contact Xu Meifeng more and gain her favor, so she can ask if she can ask something.
"Auntie, let me accompany you. I have the strength to help you pick up the dishes."
Xu Meifeng raised her eyebrows and nodded and took An Xia to the vegetable market.
The vegetable market in the timber factory is not small. One or two long vegetable markets meet in the middle. There are storefronts on both sides of the left and right. There are various stalls three meters in front of the store. After all, it is in charge of thousands of people eating. It is already noon. The iron shed is like boiling water, and the air is boiling.
The small vendors sold almost everything. They dozed off by the stall. Xu Meifeng was thinking about buying something. She should not be stingy, otherwise her husband would feel that she was not good to An Xia, but she should not be too generous. She was so angry that she thought of spending money on this wild breeder.
"Xia Xia, what do you want to eat?"
When An Xia saw Xu Meifeng visiting the entire market, she bought two or three side dishes, but didn't buy any meat and fish. How could she not understand her thoughts, "Aunt, all this is fine."
"How can that be? On the first day you came, I would eat some side dishes. Your uncle came back and said to me. Look at these meat and fish, and if there is anything you want to eat."
"Then why don't you buy a few eggs? Scrambled eggs with chili peppers will be great. The meat is too expensive. Only at home can you bear to eat these."
"Why buy some braised beef and stir-fry with chili."
When An Xia asked about the price, she shook her head repeatedly, "Aunt, this is too expensive. A pound of braised beef is more than ten yuan, and you can buy three or four pounds of pork."
Xu Meifeng couldn't help but show a sense of superiority and glanced at An Xia with a little contempt. He really never saw the world. Of course, braised beef is expensive. The best fresh beef is only five or six pieces. The braised beef has no moisture, so it is naturally not cheap.
"Why buy a silver carp?"
"Silk carp, thick thorns are not easy to taste."
As soon as Xu Meifeng finished speaking, she remembered that her husband didn’t like eating silver carp the most, and she had an idea in her mind, “It’s OK, the silver carp looks quite fresh now.”
"Auntie, buy a piece of pork belly."
Xu Meifeng was a little unhappy. She spent five yuan on buying a fish. Lin Rongwei only spent less than two hundred yuan a month. Jiaojiao was still in high school and her family was very expensive. She would spend another seven or eight yuan on a piece of meat. The food cost was only about ten yuan this day. How could she live like this?
Seeing Xu Meifeng lowered her face, An Xia explained softly: "Auntie, I'm greedy. I'm making braised pork with pork belly. After eating the meat, the remaining broth can be stewed with potatoes. The soft potatoes with dried chili and broth are fragrant, spicy and delicious."
"Sister-in-law, the meat is in the afternoon. I'll give you a little cheaper. If your child wants to eat it, buy one."
Xu Meifeng couldn't hide her face, especially when she heard An Xia say this, she was a little greedy, "Okay, just cut me one piece, two or three pounds, don't get too much."
"Okay, don't worry." The meat seller picked up the knife and was about to cut it.
"Wait, you need this piece of meat to cut, just that much, don't cut the others to me, don't even cut them."
An Xia pointed to the half-small meat next to her and gestured to a layer on the side. "Often the best pork belly is three fat and two thin, and the fat and thin layer are interspersed, and the taste is oily and chewy. It is very good to make braised pork.
But in fact, this is the best pork belly. This piece of meat is close to the middle of the abdominal wall on both sides. From the inside to the outside, there are the fat and fat of the abdominal oblique muscles and the subcutaneous fat layer. This is called Erhong, Erbai, One Beer, but there is not much meat like this. I don’t know why I can still encounter such good pork belly in the afternoon."
After listening to An Xia's introduction, the meat seller couldn't help looking at him with admiration, "Little girl, you are so awesome. This is the meat ordered by someone else. Who knows that I don't want it anymore, so I just sold it for not long.
The piece you mentioned is the best place to make pork belly. If I hadn't been reluctant to eat it myself, I would have cut it home and eaten it myself. Now you have caught up."
"Boss, you just need so much. Don't cut more in other places. The meat is only 2 and a half pounds."
The boss cut off the weight and weighed it, and the boss was about to be two and a half pounds. Now the boss was impressed by it, "How come you are so powerful, you can tell how heavy it is with just a glance. The best meat is cut off for you."
"Bossier, on such a hot day, the meat will be kept until the afternoon. If you can't sell it later, you have to apply salt. No matter how good the meat is, you won't get it. You won't get it cheaper."
After bargaining with the boss, An Xia bought the best pork belly for six yuan. It was over one pound and two yuan, which was more than a piece of meat Xu Meifeng was buying on weekdays. Xu Meifeng looked at An Xia skillfully bargaining with the vegetable dealer, and suddenly had an illusion that An Xia seemed to be more familiar with the vegetable market than her.
Seeing Xu Meifeng's surprised look, An Xia realized that she was exposed. When she arrived at the vegetable market, she became familiar with her family just like her previous life.
"Auntie, I kill pigs every New Year's Eve in rural areas. I have seen too much since I was a child and know where it tastes good."
"Oh." Xu Meifeng nodded and asked, "You can cook?"
"Well, why don't I cook tonight? Aunt, just tell me what you want to eat."
This time Xu Meifeng didn't dare to answer the conversation. She didn't believe that a rural girl would cook anything delicious. Rural people are reluctant to put oil in cooking. They boil everything in a pot of water. Just add some salt when it is cooked. It's like pig food. Don't waste these foods.
Xu Meifeng went to the convenience store to buy a bag of MSG, a few cans of beer, and made a pound of thick. All of them were carried by An Xia. On the way back, she encountered a bottled yogurt sold at the entrance of the kindergarten after school. Xu Meifeng pretended to be: "Jiaojiao has loved drinking yogurt since she was a child. If you buy two, you can try it."
