Back to 90s she just wants to get rich

Chapter 378 377. Me too!

When they arrived on the street, Lei Jia invited Xiang Jin and Yan Chen to their restaurant for dinner.

Xiang Jin thought for a while, then said, "Why don't I borrow your kitchen and treat you to pickled cabbage, tofu, fish and rice noodles?"

Lei Jia said, "You mean to cook at our house? Well, well, the cakes you make are so delicious, and the chili oil is so fragrant, so the rice must be delicious too! "

Xiang Jin asked her, "Will you take us to the place where the fish is sold?"

Lei Jia readily agreed, "No problem, this way!"

Then Xiang Jin and Yan Chen followed her to the vegetable market, where they bought a piece of fish, a piece of tofu, a piece of pork belly, and some other ingredients, and then she turned her head to ask Lei Jia , "Do you have sauerkraut at home?"

Lei Jia nodded, "Yes, yes, my mother and grandma like to put some sauerkraut in porridge, so our family has sauerkraut all year round!"

Xiang Jin nodded, "That's good!"

So the few people went directly to Lei Jia's small restaurant.

Not on the spot today, there were not many people eating in their shop, so when Xiang Jin and the others arrived, Lei Jia's mother and her grandmother were wiping the dishes with a dry handkerchief, and the other was sweeping the paper on the floor with a broom crumbs.

"Grandma, Mom, we're back," Lei Jia shouted to the people inside as soon as she stepped into the small restaurant.

Both her mother and her grandmother turned their heads to look at them, and then her mother greeted them, "Hey, you're back? Did you finish teaching so soon?"

Lei Jia nodded, "Well, I'm back, and I've taught everything."

Lei Jia's grandma said, "Then have you eaten? If not, I'll get it for you," she said, and went to put the broom and dustpan.

Lei Jia said, "Not yet, we ate a lot of cakes at Grandpa He's house, so our stomachs were still full, so we didn't stay for dinner at their house."

Her mother and grandma nodded, and then Xiang Jin said to them, "Auntie, Grandma Lei, I'm sorry, but can I borrow your kitchen, please?"

Both Lei Jia's mother and grandma looked at her with puzzled expressions, and Lei Jia hurriedly explained to them, "Oh, Xiang Jin said that he wanted to treat us to some sauerkraut, tofu, fish and rice noodles. We were just coming back On the way, I went to the vegetable market to buy fish and tofu."

Lei Jia's mother and her grandma saw what Xiang Jin was carrying, and Lei Jia's mother said in a slightly reproachful tone, "Hey, you just come back to eat, why are you going to the vegetable market to buy those things?" Things, Jiajia and you too, why don't you stop your classmate?"

Lei Jia said with a little embarrassment, "I, I didn't think so much at the time!"

Her mother and grandma sighed, and her grandma said that her thoughts were rough and not careful enough, which made Lei Jia's face suddenly turn red.

Xiang Jin said, "This is not Lei Jia's business, we insisted on buying it ourselves. Yan Chen and I haven't eaten pickled cabbage, tofu, fish and rice noodles for a long time. Borrow your pot and stove for a while."

Lei Jia's mother and grandma said, "It's okay, it's okay, you can use it, whatever you want!"

Xiang Jin nodded, and then directly took the ingredients in her hand to their kitchen for processing.

Seeing this, Lei Jia's mother hurriedly took off her apron and tied it on Xiang Jin's body, "Come on, put on this apron first, before you get your clothes dirty."

"Thank you, auntie!" Xiang Jin smiled at her.

"Oh, no thanks, no thanks," Lei Jia's mother waved her hand, and then asked, "How can I help you?"

"Okay," Xiang Jin replied without thinking, and then asked, "Auntie, please help me prepare some onions, ginger and garlic. Just peel and clean those onions, ginger and garlic. I'll wait Cut it yourself."

"Oh, okay," Lei Jia's mother had just answered, and Lei Jia ran over to grab the work, "I'll come, I'll come, let me get these, shall I?"

Lei Jia's mother looked at Xiang Jin, "Then what else can I do?"

Xiang Jin said, "Auntie, please help me wash some sauerkraut, and chop that piece of pork belly into fine pieces, the size, um, it's just that big."

"Oh, good!"

Lei Jia's mother went to work according to Xiang Jin's instructions, and Xiang Jin also cleaned the big fish first, and then pulled out the fishy thread from its body.

Lei Jia's mother had been paying attention to Xiang Jin's actions all the time. Seeing this scene, she couldn't help asking, "Oh, Xiao Jin, what are you doing?"

Xiang Jin explained to her, "This is to remove the fishy smell. The fishy smell is very strong because of this line. If the fish is not fishy, ​​the taste and texture of the fish will be good, so we first have to Remove the fishy thread from its body."

Lei Jia's mother nodded, "Oh, so it is like this, we have never been to this line before eating fish, and we don't even know that there is such a line, we always thought that the fish itself It has a fishy smell, so no matter how you do it, it will still have that smell, it seems that the way of making it is still wrong."

Xiang Jin said, "Grass carp, crucian carp, and crucian carp, like freshwater fish, all have fishy lines, and they are also easy to find. Even if you cut them about one to two centimeters behind their heads, you don't need to cut too deep. , about half the thickness of the fish, and then you will see a white spot, you can pinch the white spot and pull it out slowly, then you will see a thread like a hair, This is the fishy line."

Lei Jia's mother nodded, "Oh, I see!"

After Xiang Jin finished handling the fishy line on the fish, he started to slice the fish meat. Lei Jia's mother still didn't miss her move, and then she was shocked by Xiang Jin's knife skills. Her fish slices are so good, thin but not scattered, each slice is almost the same thickness.

She couldn't help but said again, "Oh boy, your knife is so good, look at your speed and accuracy, and the thickness of each piece of meat is just right, how can you be so good at it?"

Xiang Jin still continued with the movements, "Actually, it's nothing, auntie. The main reason is that I usually like to cook and eat, and I practice a lot, so practice makes perfect."

Lei Jia's mother nodded, but in her heart she felt that this child was really good and smart, not just a little smart, but very smart and smart. It's a pity that such a smart, capable and handsome child But there are also such life experiences.

I don't know what her adoptive mother is thinking, even such a child is willing to give up, if she hugs her tightly, it's too late, alas, she is a stupid woman with a sick mind!
After a while, Lei Jia's grandma came over after finishing her work, so the three of them all focused on watching Xiang Jin cook, how she handled the ingredients, and how she put them into the pot step by step. Put in those seasonings and all that.

"Wow, it smells so good, looks so delicious, Xiang Jin, you are simply amazing, I really like you to death," after bowls of fragrant sauerkraut, tofu, fish and rice noodles were served on the table, Lei Jia's eyes fell into the bowl directly, and her eagerness was almost drooling.

Her mother and her grandma were also smiling, with expressions of hopelessness.

Xiang Jin smiled and said, "Don't just praise me, taste it first."

"Yeah," Lei Jia quickly picked up a pair of chopsticks, picked up a piece of fish and ate it into her mouth. After a while, she nodded sharply, "Yeah, delicious, delicious, wow, this fish is so tender It's so slippery, and it doesn't have that fishy smell at all."

Her mother and grandma also said that the fish was delicious, better than the fish they ate before, so Xiang Jin smiled playfully, "Thank you for your support!"

Looking at Yan Chen who was silent at the side, Lei Jia couldn't help asking tentatively, "Yan Chen, do you think the fish Xiang Jin made is delicious?"

Yan Chen turned his head and glanced at Xiang Jin, "Her cooking is naturally delicious!" But he didn't look at Lei Jia.

The corners of Xiang Jin's mouth and eyes were bent, and he smiled brightly, "Thank you, classmate Yan, for joining us!"

Yan Chen also smiled at her, and then added, "Sure enough, the original craftsmanship has improved to a higher level!"

Xiang Jin said, "Then I will make it for you when I go back?"

"it is good!"

"Oh, why is it so delicious? Boss, what delicious food do you have in your store? Give us a bowl too." At this moment, several people came into the store, including men and women, old and young. , the clothes on several people seem to be still wearing more head-supporting clothes.

"Teacher Wang?!" Lei Jiateng suddenly stood up from his seat, and everyone was surprised.

A tall, middle-aged man among those people looked at Lei Jia and said with some uncertainty, "Who are you?!"

Lei Jia said eagerly, "I'm Lei Jia, Lei Jia from Class [-], Grade [-]!"

"Lei Jia?! Oh, I remember, that girl with very short hair?!" The middle-aged man called Teacher Wang thought about Lei Jia's name, and then asked in a daze.

Lei Jia nodded vigorously, with a look of excitement on her face, "Yeah, yes, yes!"

Teacher Wang looked her up and down, "Well, this is what a girl should look like. She was just a tomboy before." Then she nodded in relief, "Well, it's good. , Very good! Alas, there were too many students teaching in the past, and now I can’t remember clearly when I met them on the road at the first day of the National People’s Congress.”

Lei Jia nodded again and said, "Well, at that time you taught four classes of physical education, there were hundreds of people, how could you remember it so clearly?"

The teacher nodded and asked, "Are you eating here too?"

Lei Jia said, "Oh no, this is our family's restaurant. Teacher Wang, grandparents, aunts, and this little brother, please sit down, sit down quickly, mom, grandma, this is the restaurant we taught us in junior high school. Teacher Wang in the physical education class!"

Lei Jia's mother and grandma also quickly invited a few people to sit down, and then said that they were going to get them something to eat.

Teacher Wang was also surprised for a moment. He didn't expect that the restaurant they entered just now was actually opened in the home of the student he was teaching. Then he helped his parents to sit down.

Lei Jia went to help pour water for them, it had nothing to do with Xiang Jin and Yan Chen, so they continued to eat, and then heard Lei Jia ask her physical education teacher, "Mr. Wang, what are you doing in such a hot day?" Are you still on the street?"

Then Teacher Wang said, "Construction near the district government has dug the water pipes, and our area has no water today, so we went to the street to eat, but after walking half a circle, we didn't find anything delicious. , I smelled very fragrant inside before I walked to your door, so I came in."

Lei Jia immediately laughed "hehe" a little embarrassedly, thinking: If it weren't for Xiang Jin and the others, they wouldn't have entered their restaurant, so she looked in the direction of Jin and the others, who knew Xiang Jin But she was talking to Yan Chen, and didn't notice her at all, and she immediately sighed helplessly in her heart.

After a while, Lei Jia's mother and grandma made the sauerkraut, tofu, fish and rice noodles they wanted to eat, and served them on the table. After eating, they all said it was delicious, but the little boy said he still wanted to eat it , but this made Lei Jia's mother and her mother embarrassed, and finally her mother had to stand up and explain to them, "I'm really sorry, this fish fillet is gone, only some tofu cubes are left "The fish slices they had left just now were not used up by Xiang Jin at that time, and now they have used them all.

"Ah? No more?! I'm not full yet, I still want to eat that fish slice," the little boy immediately looked very disappointed.

Teacher Wang persuaded him, "Come and eat next time!"

"Oh, well," the little boy replied resentfully.

Lei Jia's mother hurriedly recommended again, "Without fish slices, we have other things here, such as twice-cooked pork rice noodles, braised pork rib rice noodles, twice-cooked pork noodles, braised pork rib noodles, and cold noodles, all of which taste delicious. Still pretty good."

The little boy muttered, "I've eaten all of these, and there's nothing special about them. I just want to eat this pickled cabbage, tofu, and fish noodle."

Now Lei Jia and his family of three were embarrassed again, and they had to laugh together in embarrassment. The adults in Mr. Wang and his family were a little embarrassed, so Mr. Wang reprimanded the child, "I know it every day. Mouth, you can’t make a big fat man with one bite, don’t you understand the truth? If you eat so much, you won’t be afraid that your stomach will be full and uncomfortable later, okay, that’s all for today!” Then he turned to Lei Jia again The three of them said, "I'm sorry, the child is young and ignorant, don't mind!"

Lei Jia and his family of three hurriedly waved their hands, saying that it's all right, the child is very cute!

Then Teacher Wang's wife hurriedly asked how much the total was, and Lei Jia's mother and grandma hurriedly said that they didn't need money and bought them food.

But Teacher Wang’s family insisted on not agreeing and insisted on giving the money. In the end, Lei Jia’s grandma stood up and explained to you, “That’s right. In fact, it’s the first time we’ve made this pickled cabbage tofu fish noodle today. We haven't sold it yet, so if you really want to give it to us, you can do it at our two taels price for the time being."

The Mr. Wang family was taken aback for a moment, then nodded, and then Mr. Wang’s wife took out the money to pay, and then Mr. Wang’s father asked, "We can still eat this sauerkraut here from now on." Tofu fish rice noodles?"

Lei Jia's mother and grandma felt a little embarrassed, and they both looked in Xiang Jin's direction. After all, Xiang Jin made this food, and I don't know if she agrees with them selling it in the future.

Xiang Jin felt a few gazes and heard their conversation just now, and then said, "Yes, of course, you can come here to eat this pickled cabbage tofu fish noodle in the future, but the price may be at that time. Another price, I hope you don't mind."

After the physical education teacher and his family saw what Xiang Jin said, they all looked at Lei Jia in confusion, "Who is this little girl?"

Xiang Jin stood up straight away, and then introduced herself, "Oh, I'm Lei Jia's classmate, I taught them how to make pickled cabbage, tofu and fish noodle today, and they don't know the cost price of this meal yet. How much, in fact, I don’t know much about it, so I have to calculate it later, so I hope you understand.”

Teacher Wang and his family nodded, "Oh, so it is like this, I understand, I understand, I understand, I understand."

After the physical education teacher's family left, Lei Jia's mother and grandmother walked up to Xiang Jin and the others and said, "Son, do you really agree with our family to make your sauerkraut, tofu, fish and rice noodles for sale?"

Xiang Jin said, "What's the matter? You are not the first one to make my food and sell it. There is a family in our yard. They learned the recipe of pickled cabbage, tofu, fish and rice noodles from me. In the town over there, a restaurant dedicated to this kind of sauerkraut, tofu, fish and rice noodles opened. Now it is doing very well in our town. Later, their son went to the county to open a restaurant by himself, and the business is also booming! "

"Really?!" Lei Jia's mother and she were immediately overjoyed.

Xiang Jin nodded, "Well! No one in your town sells this food yet, but you can try to make it and sell it."

"Oh, that's really great!" Lei Jia's mother and her grandma were immediately overjoyed. They also saw this just now, but after all, they didn't do it by themselves, so they used other people's labor. The result seems to be a little inappropriate and unnatural, and it is always necessary to say hello to others or ask for their consent.

Xiang Jin followed suit and said, "In fact, you can also add a fried sauce noodle and a braised noodle to sell, so that you only sell twice-cooked pork noodles, rice noodles, braised pork rib noodles, and rice noodles. There are more varieties. After arriving at your store, there are more flavors to choose from.”

"Zhajiang noodles, braised noodles?!" Lei Jia and his family of three were amazed and curious at the same time. The eyes that looked at Xiang Jin were filled with the words "How do you do it?" .

Xiang Jin got up and said to them, "Let me teach you how to do it!"

Lei Jia suddenly said, "Xiang Jin, the reason why those soaked fungus, dried mushrooms, and day lily were not put in the pickled cabbage tofu fish is not because you forgot, but because you planned to teach them from the beginning. Shall we cook these two meals?"

Xiang Jin said, "The main ingredients in the sauerkraut, tofu and fish noodle are sauerkraut, tofu, and fish. Things like fungus, dried mushrooms, and day lily are mainly used to make stewed noodles. Oh, by the way, do your family have eggs?"

"Yes, yes, yes," Lei Jia's mother hurriedly said.

Xiang Jin nodded, "Okay, eggs are also used to make this stewed noodles," followed her to the kitchen, and then Lei Jia and her family of three also followed, and Lei Jia's mother turned to Xiang Jin He said, "Xiao Jin, why don't we do it ourselves, just stand aside and guide us to do it, and be careful that the splashed grease will stain your clothes later."

Xiang Jin thought for a while, then nodded and stood aside, "That's fine, then you can do it yourself!" Then she explained to them the method and process of making the fried noodles and noodles. .

After about an hour or so, a bowl of delicious fried sauce noodles and braised noodles was ready. Lei Jia and his family of three were pleasantly surprised, and Xiang Jin said, "Try it?"

Lei Jia's grandma brought a stack of bowls and chopsticks, which meant that everyone would eat together, Xiang Jin and Yan Chen waved their hands, saying that they would not eat, since their stomachs are still full, let them eat by themselves.

The three mothers saw it, so they didn't force it anymore, and then each picked some and put them in their own bowls to eat, and they were all very satisfied in the end.

Xiang Jin was happy to see that they were all eating, so he exchanged a glance with Yan Chen, then stood up, and said to the three of their mothers, "Eat slowly, let's go first!"

The three mothers hurriedly put down the bowls and chopsticks in their hands, all with serious expressions on their faces, Lei Jia's mother held back and said, "The sun is shining outside now, you can stay at our house until the weather is cooler in the afternoon before leaving, you guys Go upstairs to us and let Jia Jia talk with you for a while?"

Lei Jia looked at Xiang Jin and the others and nodded, "Yeah, let's go upstairs and play."

Xiang Jin didn't care, but Yan Chen didn't think so. She saw that Yan Chen was not comfortable staying here, so she said, "It's okay, let's go to the teahouse by the river and have a drink. There is air conditioning, there are books, and it’s cool to sit on!”

After Lei Jia's mother and grandma heard this, they nodded their heads and thought, "That's right, they don't have an air conditioner in their house, they only have an electric fan, but this electric fan can only blow to a small area. So Lei Jia's grandma said, "That's fine, then we won't keep you guys. Remember to come to our house for dinner again sometime?"

"Okay, sure!" Xiang Jin nodded, and then left their restaurant with Yan Chen.

After Xiang Jin and the others left, Lei Jia's grandma couldn't help but sighed again, "Oh, Jia Jia, you two classmates are really nice, did they intend to appoint us to cook?" Learned three ways to eat.

Lei Jia said, "Yeah, I didn't expect that Xiang Jin came to our house for dinner today to teach us how to cook, but Xiang Jin and Yan Chen are really nice to people," followed her and took Xiang Jin How did he teach Grandpa He and the others how to make cakes? He also said that before they left, Yan Chen gave the grandfather He 1000 yuan to order a pan that is convenient for making cakes. At the end, he added One sentence, "I think Grandpa He and Granny Li's business will be very good, and their family's situation will get better and better!"

Lei Jia's mother and grandma followed and nodded, and then her mother said, "These two children are really kind-hearted!"

"Yes, yes!" Her grandma echoed.

Following Lei Jia's mother, she said, "Oh, by the way, Mom, what are the prices for our newly added new foods?"

Lei Jia's grandmother said, "This needs to be carefully calculated."

Xiang Jin and Yan Chen were walking on the street, and Yan Chen couldn't help joking with Xiang Jin, "I helped two families at once, how does it feel?"

Xiang Jin asked back, "Then what does it feel like when you help someone?"

Yan Chen said, "It's great to help the people who should be helped!"

Xiang Jin smiled, "Me too!"

Yan Chen also laughed, and immediately said, "But I hope that the business of your tablemate and their family will improve, so that I have lived up to your wish."

Xiang Jin said, "I don't know, it's like repaying her for cleaning the tables, chairs and benches for me every afternoon, and when it's my turn to clean, she is the favor of replacing my labor."

"Ok!"
