My Siheyuan Shelter

Chapter 239 Fish Ball (for Subscription)

The next day, Wang Xiujuan came to the courtyard of Lao Xu's house after breakfast, and this place was the most reliable place to get food.

It's only been a long time, and things are actually done.

"Dong dong dong..."

Mama Xu was drying vegetables in the yard, when she heard the knock on the door, she hurried over to open it.

"Old Wang, you are here, come in quickly."

Wang Xiujuan looked into the yard: "Where is Nana, why didn't I see anyone?"

"She went to the post office and will be back later."

Mama Xu closed the door, and then brought her friends to the kitchen. The imperial goose oil was packed early in the morning, and it weighed 32 catties in total.

The extra two catties count as "loss".

As soon as she entered the kitchen, Zhang Xiuli smelled a smell of meat, and couldn't help but joked:

"Old Zhang, what delicious food did your family cook last night, why is it so delicious?"

Mama Xu waved her hand:
"There's nothing delicious, the aroma is made from cooking oil."

"Where is the oil? Show me quickly."

Mama Xu took out a white plastic bucket from the cabinet: "Here, this bucket of oil is thirty catties in total, and it's just for you."

"This is too much!"

Wang Xiujuan was very surprised, good guy, it was three times as much as last time.

"You can keep it at ease, I have kept dozens of catties for myself."

"What kind of oil is this?" Wang Xiujuan unscrewed the lid and smelled the smell.

"It's emperor goose oil. I boiled it all afternoon yesterday." Madam Xu replied.

Wang Xiujuan asked curiously, "Emperor goose oil? How does it taste?"

"It tastes a bit stronger than lard, so it's better to use less when cooking." Mama Xu suggested.

"It's okay to have a heavy taste, as long as you can eat it, how do you sell this oil?"

"Just calculate it at 2000 yuan per catty, and 30 catties will cost 6 yuan in total."

Wang Xiujuan frowned: "Lao Zhang, this price is too cheap. If it's this price, I can't accept this oil."

"Don't worry, the price is set by the third child in my family, and he also bought this meat, so there will be no mistake." Mama Xu persuaded.

Wang Xiujuan hesitated for a while, but finally couldn't resist the temptation, and spent 60,000 yuan to buy the barrel of oil.

Before leaving, Madam Xu suddenly asked again: "Old Wang, I still have some oil residue here, do you want to take some back?"

"Forget it, I don't have anything in hand." Wang Xiujuan declined, mainly because of embarrassment, after all, taking such a big advantage from others, it would be unreasonable to take something.

"Well, how about this, I'm planning to use these oil residues to make fish balls, and I'll give you some to try after I'm done."

"Okay, leave me a bowl."

Seeing that her friend was having a hard time carrying it, Mama Xu couldn't help persuading her: "Old Wang, why don't you sit down for a while, and when Nana comes back, I'll ask her to send the oil back for you."

Wang Xiujuan quickly shook her head and said, "No need, I'll just take a taxi when I go out. Zheng Yan happens to be at home today, so I have to send them the gas."

"Hi, then I'll see you off!"

Half an hour later, Wang Xiujuan came to her son's house with an oil drum, and her daughter-in-law had to take care of her little granddaughter, so she didn't let him pick her up.

"Boom... Zheng Yan, it's me."

"Mom, why are you here?" Zheng Yan was slightly surprised, her mother-in-law usually only came over on weekends.

"I've brought you oil." Wang Xiujuan said happily.

Only then did Zheng Yan notice the oil drum at her mother-in-law's feet, so she quickly helped carry it into the house.

"Mom, where did this oil come from?"

Wang Xiujuan wiped the sweat off her face, "Aside from your Aunt Zhang's house, where else can I get this kind of goods that are in short supply?"

"Tsk tsk, Nana's husband is really capable. He actually got so much oil this time."

After speaking, Zheng Yan found out the weighing scale at home, and put the oil barrel directly on it.

"How many pounds?"

Wang Xiujuan asked casually, based on her relationship with Lao Zhang, the oil must be more or less, just like the previous few times.

"35.5 pounds."

"I estimate that the oil barrel weighs more than three catties. Your Aunt Zhang gave us two catties of oil this time." Wang Xiujuan laughed.

Zheng Yan said with emotion: "Aunt Zhang is really generous."

"The generosity is divided among people. Our family has helped their family a lot, and they are doing it on purpose! Let's talk about this oil. It is only 2000 yuan a catty, which is almost equal to half selling and half giving away."

Zheng Yan opened the oil barrel and looked at it, and couldn't help asking: "Mom, what kind of oil is this? Why is it different from last time?"

"This time it's Emperor Goose Oil, of course it's different."

"No wonder, this oil should be freshly brewed, it smells so strong."

"According to your aunt Wang, it was yesterday afternoon." Wang Xiujuan replied.

"Mom, don't leave at noon, I'll fry a few more dishes, let's taste the oil together."

"Alright, I'll fry a little more shrimp later, the kids are already hungry."

Zheng Yan said bitterly: "Mom, I don't want to wrong Zhang Yong and the others, but there are really not many shrimps left at home, and I want to keep them for the New Year!"

"I'll find a way to make it after eating. Don't be reluctant. Your Aunt Zhang's family is very capable. Even if you get rid of my old face, the two children will not suffer." Wang Xiujuan said bluntly.

"That's fine, Mom, I'll listen to you."

……

Meanwhile, power companies.

Xu Dong finally waited for the official documents and became the deputy chief of the security department. His main job was to serve as deputy to Chief Li.

Fortunately, Section Chief Li has been focusing on his wife and children recently, so he pushed the boat along the way and let Xu Dong take over the daily work of the security department.

In a sense, except that he doesn't have an independent office, Xu Dong is almost the same as the official section chief.

After returning from get off work, Xu Dong couldn't wait to share the good news with his family. Xu's mother was very excited when she heard that, and immediately stopped what she was doing.

"Son, are you considered to be in the leadership now?"

"Does it even need to be said!"

"Okay, that's great. I thought you would have to wait for several years to be the section chief, but I didn't expect you to be promoted now." Mama Xu said pleasantly.

"Mom, I'm only the deputy section chief now, and it will be more than three years before our leader retires!"

Yang Lina said happily: "It doesn't matter if you are the section chief or not, as long as you are willing to make progress, husband."

Xu Dong could only report embarrassment.

Didn't he just want to take care of his family more, so why did he not seek to make progress?

Dabao was still sensible, seeing his father's expression was wrong, he thought that his father was hungry, so he quickly picked up a fish ball from the basket and held it to his father's mouth.

"Dad, eat fish balls, the fish balls made by grandma are so delicious."

Xu Dong took a bite of the fish ball, and then picked up the eldest son in his arms.

"Father, eat quickly!" Dabao urged.

Xu Dong quickly chewed a few mouthfuls.

Hey, don't say it!The taste is really good, the fish balls are very chewy, which makes the mouth feel fragrant.

"Mom, this fish ball is pretty good. It's much more delicious than last year's. This time, fry it more."

Mama Xu looked relieved: "Ke Ke and they also said it is delicious, maybe the meat of tuna is more suitable for making fish balls! If you like to eat it, I will make it every other month in the future. Anyway, there are still a lot of fish meat at home."

"Okay, I agree with both hands." Xu Dong said with a smile.

ps: Ask for recommended tickets and monthly tickets!
