I won't do the task of traveling quickly

Chapter 255 I am a poor girl (13)

Xu Xiaolan returned home hesitantly, and saw He Yu concentrating on reading in the living room as soon as she entered the door.She was still a little troubled in her heart, but now she couldn't help showing a smile on her face.

"Zhenzhen." She followed suit and waved, "Mom has something to tell you."

"What's the matter?" He Yu raised his head and looked at her suspiciously.

Xu Xiaolan hesitated for a moment before finally saying: "I, I quit my job today."

"Really?" He Yu was overjoyed when he heard that.Originally, she thought it would take more time to persuade, but she didn't expect the matter to be done like this.

"Mom, you should have quit this job long ago."

"But your dad..."

He Yu deliberately teased: "Don't worry. My dad won't say anything, after all, he loves you so much."

Xu Xiaolan felt a little embarrassed when she heard this, but at the same time, she also relaxed a lot.

He Yu was really not worried at all.After all, after Xu Xiaolan passed away, Xia Yongjing began to drink heavily, and even passed away in a car accident.They have such a deep relationship, so they won't be angry because of a job.

Sure enough, as He Yu said, Xia Yongjing not only didn't say anything, but in turn comforted her that she could support her family and that she would just have to work an extra job.

But Xu Xiaolan was still a little worried: "But I can't do nothing, after all, there will be more places to spend money in the future."

In fact, He Yu had already thought about this before. Originally, she first thought about setting up a stall to sell breakfast or something.But not to mention that she inspected the community, almost all the breakfast sellers were saturated, and there were almost all kinds of buns, porridge, soy milk and fried dough sticks around here.There are still a few that have not settled in, such as rice rolls, and she feels too tired.

After all, in addition to making money, the most important thing now is Xu Xiaolan's health. Selling breakfast will inevitably have to get up early.So she finally made up her mind to sell braised vegetables in the community in the afternoon.

He Yu loved to eat in her last life, and the most important thing is that she was also full of research spirit.If he wasn't really too lazy, he might be able to earn enough money for his retirement by selling food.

In the place where she lived in her previous life, there was a very delicious stewed vegetables, which tasted so fragrant and spicy that He Yu felt overwhelmed if he didn't eat a little every day.Later, she went to ask the boss for the recipe, but of course it was impossible for others to tell her as a commercial secret.

Until later, when the boss's child became seriously ill and had no money for medical treatment, He Yu also got to know him well, so he donated a sum of money with a big wave of his hand.In order to thank her, the boss gave her the recipe of stewed vegetables.It is said that this is handed down from their ancestors.

It's a pity that He Yu only did it for a while, and later became obsessed with other delicacies, so he completely forgot about it.

So she simply suggested: "Mom, why don't you sell stewed vegetables in our community at night, it seems that we haven't sold this in our area yet."

"Braised vegetables?" Xu Xiaolan frowned upon hearing this, "It's fine for me to cook other things, but I really can't do this kind of stewed vegetables."

"Don't worry about that, I know the recipe for stewed vegetables."

He Yu rolled his eyes, and then lied: "There was an uncle cook in Jiang's family before who made delicious stewed vegetables. I was curious and asked, and he told me the recipe."

Seeing that there was still some hesitation on her face, He Yu continued to lie: "How about we try the taste first, and if it tastes good, we can talk about setting up the stall?"

Xia Yongjing also persuaded her after hearing this: "Otherwise, try it, anyway, you are idle now." He mainly couldn't see his wife's worried appearance, thinking that she would stop thinking about things when she had something to do.Xia Yongjing didn't care much about success or not.

Seeing that her husband also relaxed, Xu Xiaolan had no choice but to agree.

Apart from the commonly used spices in He Yu's braised vegetables recipe, the most important thing is the ratio of some Chinese medicinal materials, which is the key to the secret recipe.So she went to several pharmacies separately before buying all the medicinal materials.Although other people don't pay attention to her family now, He Yu always pays attention to such small details.

When she got home, Xu Xiaolan had already prepared all the spices.She also bought some pork, chicken and vegetarian dishes to test the taste.

Xu Xiaolan followed the steps mentioned by He Yu, first boiled the spices for a while, and then added the medicinal materials that had been prepared according to the proportion.After all, the brine is the key, because most soups become more fragrant the more they are cooked.Xu Xiaolan naturally understood the importance of this first pot of soup, so she did not dare to relax at all.

After a long time, after the brine was cooked, Xu Xiaolan put the whole chicken and pork in and continued to cook.After a while, she tested the chopsticks for softness and firmness before adding dishes such as wings.The two stayed in the kitchen all the time, looking at the big casserole eagerly. Even for lunch, they only ate some bread to pad their stomachs.

I don't know how long it took, but He Yu looked at his watch. It was already 6 pm.She calculated the cooking time before finally saying hello.Xu Xiaolan also breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this. She then opened the lid of the pot, and a sudden aroma came to her face, which almost brought out the greedy bugs in her stomach.

And the lid of the pot has been lifted for a long time, but the fragrance still lingers for a long time.After a while, an unknown dog started to bark, as if it also smelled the fragrance.

Xu Xiaolan sniffed and couldn't help swallowing, then she carefully used a colander to smash out two chicken feet.He Yu knew it was almost finished when she smelled it before, so she wasn't worried at all.But looking at Xu Xiaolan's expectant eyes, He Yu smiled and picked up one with chopsticks, and took a bite slowly, while the other party kept looking at her eagerly.

"How is it?" Xu Xiaolan asked impatiently.

He Yu gave a thumbs up and said with a smile: "It's delicious, it's exactly the same as the one I've eaten before."

When Xu Xiaolan heard this, she was completely relieved. She didn't care about burning it and just took another chicken foot and put it in her mouth.The first thing that fills your mouth is the fragrance, then the spiciness, and then there is an indescribable taste.The chicken feet have been cooked so soft that they almost melt in your mouth.It was so delicious. Xu Xiaolan swore that she had never eaten such delicious braised vegetables.

She turned her head and said excitedly: "Zhenzhen, this is really delicious."

The two were talking, when there was a loud noise outside the house, followed by a knock on the door.

Now is not the time for Xia Yongjing to get off work. Who will come here?Xu Xiaolan opened the door in confusion, only to see a few familiar neighbors standing outside.

"Aunt Zhang, Sister Li, what's the matter with you?"

Everyone was looking forward to Ai Ai immediately, and it seemed a little difficult to say.Aunt Zhang was a little familiar with her, so she asked a little embarrassedly: "Xiaolan, what did your family cook? My baby didn't eat the food even if he smelled it."

"That's right." Sister Li also hurriedly said, "I even stewed pork ribs soup specially at night, but my husband said that he could not drink the soup because of the smell."

"That's right, my mother-in-law also said that I abused her, otherwise your food would be so delicious."

"This is so fragrant. I drank three bowls of porridge because of the smell."

Everyone was chattering for a while.It was only then that Xu Xiaolan realized that these people were all attracted by the scent of her own home.
