The old woman became rich by relying on the supermarket instead of selling her granddaughter
Chapter 13: Cooking a Pot of Braised Pork
When the three wives had almost finished processing the pork and pig's trotters, Meng Lan remembered that there was a piece of pork belly left over from yesterday. It was almost time for dinner, so Meng Lan went into the kitchen alone, cut the pork belly into small pieces, and cooked a pot of braised pork.
Meng Lan's cooking skills are good. This pot of braised pork is delicious, with rich oil and red sauce, not greasy but moist. It makes people salivate.
She didn't make much of this pot of braised pork, so everyone in the family got two pieces. Although it wasn't much, it tasted so good that everyone could finish a big bowl of rice with these two pieces of meat. Everyone was still not satisfied after eating.
After two days of delicious meals, Jiang's prejudice against her mother-in-law changed a lot.
She thought, maybe her mother-in-law has really changed for the better this time, and maybe the family will live a good life in the future. She thought, she should trust her mother-in-law this time. Thinking of this, Jiang's eyes brightened a little.
"Mom, I think this... this meat can also be sold. It's so delicious, I guess a lot of people will like it."
Jiang also began to care about the future of this big family. While savoring the meat she had just eaten, she put forward her ideas to Meng Lan. However, she had never eaten braised pork before and didn't know what it was called.
Meng Lan listened to Jiang's words, thought about it, and felt that what she said made sense. There should be many people who like to eat fat but not greasy braised pork. As long as there are people who like to eat it, it can be sold.
Thinking of this, she looked at her second daughter-in-law with approval, nodded, and responded to her words.
"You're right. I'll make a small pot of braised pork tomorrow and sell it together with the pork elbows and trotters to see how it sells."
It's just that she has to work harder, but as long as she can make money and live a good life, it doesn't matter! If it sells well, she will make more in the future. Who would complain about making a lot of money?
The Hu family next door had been curious about the abnormalities of their neighbors these days. First, the old woman from the He family came in and out, then there was the fragrance from next door from time to time, and the happy expressions on the faces of the two daughters-in-law.
However, what surprised the Hu family next door the most was that He Zhaodi was still at home.
A few days ago, Meng Lan's daughter-in-law Yang was shouting everywhere that she had found a good marriage for He Zhaodi and would soon send her niece to enjoy a happy life. But now there has been no movement, which made the Hu family curious.
But the old lady of the He family has always been someone not easy to mess with, so they should just stay at home and live a quiet life, and not ask too much about these things.
When Meng Lan thought about setting up a stall to sell delicious food in town the next day, she tossed and turned in bed excitedly at night and couldn't fall asleep.
She thought that traveling through a book might not be so bad. She had nothing to worry about in the modern world. It could be said that she had nothing except money. People who had "nothing" certainly would not be afraid of losing anything.
Now that she has traveled into the book, even though she is an old villain, her life is much more lively than the stagnant life in modern times.
Although this poor family didn't have much money, Meng Lan thought it was not a big problem. Now that she had a supermarket and knew the plot, there was no reason for her to live a bad life.
She felt that in these few short days, her heart seemed to gradually come alive, and the originally boring life in her eyes became more colorful.
It seemed that after she came here, she accepted this reality calmly and did not have a strong desire to return to the modern world. Without worries, she had freedom, and with freedom, she could go anywhere.
After a few days of living here, Meng Lan seemed to have gradually adapted to the life here, and it didn't seem to matter so much whether she went back or not.
Suddenly, Meng Lan's body stiffened, and a description about the supermarket suddenly appeared in her mind.
Supermarket Instructions 60: There is no limit to the number of times you can enter the supermarket each day, and the cumulative duration is minutes, which can be increased as your level increases.
At first, she didn't pay much attention to this inconspicuous supermarket description, but now when Meng Lan thought about this description, an idea suddenly came to her mind. Although it was not very realistic, it was not impossible. After all, even the book-crossing and supermarket systems appeared.
Meng Lan thought, since she could get into the book, then it might be possible for her to get out of the book.
Then the supermarket system is likely to be the medium connecting the two worlds. But how exactly is it connected, and what conditions are needed to shuttle back and forth between the two worlds, these are things she cannot explore yet.
But Meng Lan felt that as the supermarket system level improved, she would get more information she wanted to know.
Meng Lan's desire to make money became stronger. In addition to wanting to lead her family to a good life, she also wanted to explore the secrets of the system and book-traveling.
She lay on the bed and calculated silently: bronze, silver, gold, platinum, diamond. She was only a bronze now, and she didn't know when she could upgrade to diamond...
Meng Lan fell asleep in a daze. In her dream, she was selling pork elbow rice in the town. There were so many people buying that she was almost overwhelmed and her hands were sore from collecting money.
So in the midst of a flurry of activity, Meng Lan woke up in shock.
She glanced at the sky outside the window. It was just getting light and the rooster next door hadn't even crowed.
But at this time she was no longer sleepy. Her mind was full of thoughts about setting up a stall. She didn't know how long it had been since she felt so excited.
Thinking of the scene in her dream, Meng Lan became more excited about setting up the stall today.
Since she couldn't sleep anyway, Meng Lan simply got up from the bed, found a set of clean clothes to put on, and walked all the way to the kitchen in the faint light from the sky.
Burning wood to make a fire, heating up the pot with oil, cooking the pork elbows and trotters that the daughters-in-law had prepared last night, and cooking another pot of pork belly. The whole series of actions went smoothly.
While it would take some time to cook, Meng Lan went to get a basin of water to wash and tidy up her hair. On the first day of setting up the stall, she wanted to greet it with the best spirit.
Then Meng Lan took some rice from the storage room next door to the kitchen and steamed a large pot of brown rice and a small pot of polished rice.
After doing all this, Meng Lan's excitement subsided a little.
Feeling a little tired, she went back to her room and lay on the bed for a while.
As the big rooster next door crowed, the family members got up one after another. Meng Lan glanced at the brightening sky outside the window and got up too.
The other people in the family felt ashamed when they saw the food being cooked and steamed on the kitchen stove. They actually let an elder do all these things. It was really unfilial of them.
So everyone quickly got busy. He Chuanzong and He Chuanjia moved out the large jar that their family used to pickle wild vegetables and pickles, washed them, poured the cooked pork elbows, trotters and braised eggs into it, covered them with a lid, and put them on the cart.
Tian carried the two pots of rice to the cart, while Jiang found a large backpack and put all the bowls and chopsticks in it.
Yang resisted the urge to steal food, found a small clay pot, and poured the braised pork cooked by Meng Lan into it.
All the things were loaded and the cart was filled to the brim.
Fortunately, the two brothers He Chuanzong have almost finished the work in the fields in the past few days, so Meng Lan no longer has to pull the cart to the town to sell her goods. If she had to do this every day, her old bones would fall apart sooner or later.
Even the donkeys in the production team didn’t do this!
"Chuanzong and Tianshi, come with me to the town today." Meng Lan said.
She thought that there were only two strong laborers in the family, He Chuanzong and He Chuanjia, so she asked them to take turns to go with her to be donkeys for a day, no, to set up a stall in the town.
As for that ignorant He Tianci? When he really returns to the village, she will deal with him.
The eldest brother and his wife responded obediently. After the whole family had a few bites of food, everyone else in the family went to do their own things. Even Yang had learned her lesson and did not dare to sit idle. She followed her second sister-in-law Jiang to work.
He Chuanzong pushed the cart out of the door, followed by Meng Lan and Tian.
Not only the three of them were excited, but the others who stayed at home also had some anticipation in their eyes when they saw them off.
Fortunately, it was just daybreak and still a little foggy. No one in the village had gone out, and there were not many people on the road. Otherwise, pedestrians on the road would have been dazzled by the fragrance of their carts.
