All Heavens Pension started from the fiery era

Chapter 12 12. The old lady's careful calculation
The old lady asked her son to set the table, and then brought a big pot of homemade stewed carp, and said:

"The carp is already stewed, you should drink it first, the braised pork should be slow, you have to save your stomach, and have a good taste later.

I'm not exaggerating, we Wenjing's braised pork is really a masterpiece, it's better than restaurants. "

"Don't be so busy, aunt, sit down and have a drink together." Although Yue Wenxuan knew that the old lady would not be able to serve, he had to be humble.

"Drinking is a man's business. How can my old lady serve the table? You drink yours and don't worry about me. Wen Jing is still waiting for my help."

Listening to the movement in the room, Yue Wenjing complained in her heart that her mother-in-law was too stingy, and she was too calculating in order to save a bite.

Originally, she was planning to stew the braised pork ahead of time, but she was stopped by the old lady, and she gave a few words of admonition, insisting on waiting for everyone to arrive before making it, lest the meat would not taste good when it was cold.

These words sound reasonable, most people definitely don't know what the old lady is planning, and it is only her daughter-in-law who has lived with her for so many years that she understands her thoughts.

The old lady just wanted to wait until the drinking table was almost full before serving the braised pork, so as not to eat up the hard dishes too early.

This way of operation not only saves face, but also leaves some meat.

Yue Wenjing also came from hard times, but she really learned the calculation method like the old lady only after marrying into the Wang family.

It is rare for the in-laws to come to the house once, and the old lady must entertain them grandly. She has prepared a total of 6 dishes today.

The two hard dishes are of course big fish stewed in an iron pot and braised pork in brown sauce. Such good dishes are usually not available. In this year, even during the Chinese New Year, it may not be possible to entertain guests.

The old lady lived a fine life, even if the fish was brought by Yue Wenxuan, she was only willing to stew half of it.

In order not to let the guests see that this is half a fish, there must be no less fish head and tail. It happens that these two take up space and there is not much meat. Treating guests saves face and saves. This is the old lady's many years of experience.

Add more white radish to the stewed fish pot. Originally, it would be better to add tofu, but now that tofu is expensive, I don’t have any at home, so I can only use white radish to make up for it.

The bowl of fish brought by the old lady was very full, with the heads and tails of the fish exposed, which looked very affordable.

Even if the big pot of fish is eaten up, the guests will not feel that the host is stingy, and they can only look for their own reasons, is it because they can eat too much?
The other 4 dishes are cold dishes, including: cold cabbage heart, cold radish shreds, cold potato shreds, and a cold celery.

I have cabbage hearts, radishes and potatoes at home, and the old lady temporarily borrowed celery from a neighbor's house.

After arranging all the dishes, the old lady explained: "Today, all the big fish and meat dishes are meat dishes, so I will add 4 cold dishes to relieve your greasy taste.

Nowadays, it is rare to eat big fish and meat once, and you can eat more even if you have an appetite.

There are a lot of things today, so you can let go of your belly and eat vigorously. No matter what, it must let you have a good time. "

"Old sister-in-law, you are too honest, how can you eat such a big pot?" Yue Bingjiang said politely.

The old lady was very satisfied with the evaluation of her in-laws, "You guys have a lot of food, and you usually keep it away. If you have a lot of food today, let's eat it. I'm happy when I eat it all."

When the old lady entered the kitchen, Yue Wenjing deliberately said:
"Mom, I have to learn from you in the future. Look at how rich the meal is today. My father and my second brother must be very satisfied.

For such a good meal, our family produced half a catty of bacon, without cooking, and without using a drop of oil.

You boiled this half catty of bacon for a little bit of oil in advance, you still have a way, and I still have something to learn in the future. "

The old lady didn't understand the meaning hidden in Yue Wenjing's words at all, but she was very complacent, "We ordinary people have to be careful in our lives, and good days are saved.

You are usually a bit extravagant, and I haven't completely corrected you for so many years. I will remind you in the future.As long as you are willing to learn from me, sooner or later you will be like me, and you don't have to worry about living a bad life. "

I still have to go to work in the afternoon, and the 4 people are drinking very quickly. In less than an hour, two bottles of wine went down.

The wine glasses were withdrawn, and the old lady and Yue Wenjing also sat at a table with a few people to eat.

If other guests come to the house, the old lady and Yue Wenjing will not eat at the table, that is, their father and brother come to the door, so they can't see each other.

At the dinner table, Wang Zhansheng's father asked about Yue Wenxuan's job change and resettlement. The old lady's eyes lit up after hearing Yue Wenxuan's answer.

She knew that the second uncle of the child was capable, but she didn't expect that even after changing jobs, she would be a 17th-level executive. Cloth, and was assigned to the Dongfang Machinery Factory, and was still in charge of personnel. This is really amazing!

The basic salary is only 99 yuan, which is too much. A 26-year-old young man can earn so much. How beautiful will life be in the future?

The old lady turned her head and glanced at her daughter-in-law. Seeing that her daughter-in-law looked happy and couldn't answer a word, she felt a little resentful.

She has taught for so many years in vain, and her daughter-in-law is just a fool, she really hasn't made any progress at all.

The conditions of the child's second uncle are so good, and the relationship with his eldest sister is so close. As long as her daughter-in-law complains a little bit, she will have to think of ways to subsidize her in the future.

The daughter-in-law is careless, so she, the old lady, can only do it herself.

The old lady sighed, causing everyone to look at her, and then said:

"It's getting more and more difficult now. Seeing that the supply is getting less and less every month, I want to buy something nutritious, but I can't get a ticket. I really want to cut off my own meat and cook it for Wen Jing.

It's a pity that we, Wen Jing, are filial, and she would be reluctant to eat an extra bite, either because she was thinking about the children, or about us old people. "

The old man Wang cooperated and said: "Wen Jing is really filial. The elderly and children are taken care of very well, and they live carefully. Those who plan carefully are good at living."

The old lady continued: "But she is 4 months pregnant, how can a person with this body be nutritious if she doesn't eat something good?
Adults can do whatever they want, but if the child in my stomach is deprived of nutrition, I am really worried that the development will not be good.

We all know that the ten months of pregnancy are the most important. If the mother eats well, the child will be born strong.If the mother can't get enough to eat, the child will be born weak.

In these years and years, it is impossible to eat enough, and it is even more difficult to eat well. Thinking about it makes people worry. "

Yue Wenxuan really didn't know that the eldest sister was pregnant, and she was already 4 months old. The current life is too difficult, and it is a huge test for pregnant women.

He really has to pay attention to this matter.
