Chapter 325: Braised Pork



Chapter 325: Braised Pork

"Brother Lai, did you go to Fengze Garden? You can tell at a glance that this nine-turn large intestine was made by Master Zheng."

Yu Shui opened the lunch box and asked when she saw the food inside.

"You are so smart. I went to Fengze Garden." He Lai pinched Yu Shui's nose and said with a smile.

"Oh my, Brother Lai is so mean, pinching my nose! If I had known you were going to Fengze Garden, I would have gone there too. I haven't eaten the chefs' dishes for a long time."

Yu Shui pouted and said a little unhappily.

"Then go tomorrow. I left some pig offal with the chef. Bring it back and ask the chefs to make you a delicious meal."

"Can I take Chun'er with me?"

"Just take it with you. Chun'er can't eat much!"

……

A day passed like this, and I easily earned more than 20,000 yuan. Well, it’s good to be able to cheat!

This morning, He Lai was lying in a chair, studying the space, when there was a knock on the door.

"Please come in."

The door opened and a head appeared. It turned out to be Yushui.

"Come here, brother." When Yu Shui saw He Lai, she knew she had come to the right place, and immediately pulled Chun'er in.

"Why are you here? Didn't we go to Fengze Garden to eat delicious food? Chun'er, put down the bag quickly. What's in it?"

As He was talking, he saw Chun'er struggling to carry the big bag and quickly asked her to put it down.

Chun'er just smiled and changed her hand but didn't put it down.

"The chefs packed some stewed meat for us to bring to you, along with this lunch box."

Yu Shui smiled and held up the lunch box in her hand and said,

"You two aren't tired, so why don't you eat here with me or go to your brother's place?"

He Lai stepped forward and took the bag from Chun'er's hand, estimating that it weighed about ten pounds.

"I listened to my brother."

"Then you sit down for a while. I'll go share some of the stew with my colleagues. I'll take you to find your brother later."

"it is good."

Technology Department

He Lai called all his colleagues over to try this delicious braised pork, two or three pieces per person, which is about three taels.

In this way, half a bag of braised pork was distributed.

"Come here, this is made by the chef from Fengze Garden, it smells so good!"

Zhang Zhiwen finished eating and said.

"Yes, it was indeed made by the chef from Fengze Garden. Take your time eating. I have something else to do so I will leave first."

When He Lai saw that all the food had been distributed, he picked up the bag and left.

"Sister Dandan, why don't you eat it? This is indeed the craftsmanship of Fengzeyuan. It's delicious." Lou Xiao'e asked when she saw Shen Dandan put the braised pork into the lunch box without eating it.

"Let's eat it when we go to the cafeteria. That way we can save some food!" Shen Dandan explained.

"Oh, so that's the case. Then try a piece of mine." After Lou Xiao'e said that, she picked up a piece and handed it to Shen Dandan's mouth.

Shen Dandan had no choice but to eat it, but it tasted really good.

"Thank you."

"You are my master, and it is my duty to respect you." Lou Xiao'e said mischievously.

"Uh...as long as you are happy."

Shen Dandan didn't have much resistance to Lou Xiao'e and was easy to talk to. She knew that she was the daughter of former factory director Lou and came here to experience life.

……

in the cafeteria

Sha Zhu, Xu Damao, Qin Huairu, Qin Yuru, He Lai, Yushui and Chun'er sat together in the lounge, eating the food that Yushui and Chun'er brought over.

"Don't look. Your father is busy and has no time to eat!" He Lai saw Yu Shui always looking at the door, so he knew that she wanted to see if He Daqing was coming, so he reminded her.

"Is my dad so busy?" Yu Shui asked, confused.

"Don't listen to Xiao Laizi, Dad said, come over later, let us eat first."

Sha Zhu said with a smile.

"Oh." After hearing what Sha Zhu said, Yu Shui no longer cared about He Daqing. She couldn't finish so much anyway.

"Hey, Xiao Laizi is really capable. He can still eat so much meat. Pork is getting less and less now. There are only two left out of the three meat coupons per month! One coupon only gives you two taels of meat, and sometimes you can't even buy anything! It makes me so angry."

Xu Damao sighed.

The meat coupons used to be in three time periods each month (upper, middle and lower) have been changed to two time periods each month, upper and lower. The meat coupons have also been reduced from three taels to two taels. It is estimated that by next year, fresh meat will become canned food.

"What's up, Brother Damao? Have you finished eating the 40-pound fish? Are you thinking about pork again?"

He Lai teased.

"How can that be! My mother pickled it. You need oil to cook fish, otherwise it won't taste good! How can I have so much oil?"

"It's not delicious because you don't know how to cook. Look, isn't the fish cooked by Brother Zhuzi just as delicious!"

"That's right, Xu Damao, if you beg me, I will teach you!" Sha Zhu said with a smile.

"You want me to beg you? Dream on. I can just boil it in water and eat it!"

"Haha, Brother Damao, remember to add some green onions, ginger, garlic, and white vinegar to remove the fishy smell. Add a few pieces of tofu and it will taste even better."

After He finished speaking, everyone laughed.

"Xiao Laizi, take us to catch wild rabbits this weekend. I haven't caught one in a long time."

Sha Zhu suggested.

"Okay, I have nothing to do anyway, so let's go." He Lai agreed directly.

"Come on, brother. I want to go too." Yu Shui signed up immediately.

"Okay, let's all go! Let's go with more people, and then call Guangtian and Huzi, and we'll roast the rabbit over there."

He Lai said with a smile.

"It's such a waste to roast it. The little oil in the rabbit will fall into the fire. Bring it back and Uncle He will make braised rabbit meat for you!"

He Daqing walked in at this time and said.

"Okay, Uncle He, it's too difficult to ask you to cook a meal. I might as well let Master Hu and the others do it!"

He Lai joked.

"How dare you make up stories about me? Go get me a pair of chopsticks!"

He Daqing sat next to He Lai and patted He Lai on the waist.

"Ouch, my waist is broken. Please help your father carry the rainwater. I can't do it anymore."

He Lai immediately pretended to have a backache and said to Yu Shui.

Yu Shui immediately stood up and went to get the chopsticks.

"Good boy, you order my daughter around all the time, don't you?" He Daqing snatched He Lai's chopsticks, started eating the braised pork, and scolded him with a smile.

"I can't help it. I don't want to order you around. Who can blame Yu Shui for being so sensible and obedient?"

He Lai spread his hands and said helplessly. Everyone laughed again.

"Dad, this is for you." Yu Shui came back quickly and handed over a pair of chopsticks.

"Yu Shui, your father has it, give it to me." He Lai took the chopsticks.

"Uncle He, what are you doing in the third cafeteria? You're not even actively eating. Is there something wrong with your mind?"

He Lai went on to say, hinting that there was a Dongmei hidden in the golden house!

"Speak nicely. Do you think it's easy to be the canteen director? Food is so scarce now, I have to keep an eye on it."

He Daqing complained.

"Why not eat meat porridge?" He Lai suddenly asked.

Yu Shui and Xu Damao laughed out loud, but Sha Zhu and others were stunned, not knowing what He was talking about!

"Good boy, I think you are looking for a fight!"

He Daqing has been in the business for so many years, so of course he knows what "Why don't you eat meat" means.

"Hey, little Laizi, how could he know the sufferings of the world? He eats meat every day, but he doesn't even eat the fat. He only eats the lean meat. And this beef, I don't know where it came from, isn't it from Emperor Hui of Jin?"

Of course Xu Damao knew this story when he was in the Propaganda Department.

At that time, beef was only supplied to some ethnic minorities and special groups who believed in Islam. Ordinary people had no place to buy it. "Halal meat tickets" also appeared during this period.

"There's nothing I can do. Yu Shui likes to eat lean meat, and I actually want to eat fatty meat too. If you don't believe me, make me a bowl of braised pork. I promise to eat it all!" He Lai pushed the responsibility to Yu Shui.

"Well, lean meat tastes better than fatty meat." Yu Shui said politely, agreeing with He Lai.

"Okay, both of you, stop talking and let me eat more!"

He Daqing no longer wanted to listen to these two unlucky kids talking, as they might be struck by lightning.

Soon the eight people finished all the dishes, without any soup left.

No, it should be nine! Qin Huairu still has one in her belly.
