Quick Wear: Crazy Female Supporting Role She is Bai Yueguang

Chapter 82: The Original Heroine Whose Luck Was Taken Away (23)

After Shi Qing returned to the military compound, she took out a pen and paper from her schoolbag and began to make a list of ingredients for braised dishes that she needed to buy. She planned to open a braised food shop in the military compound.

There is still some wild boar meat left in the space, which can last for a while. If she is short of food, she can just go to the mountain to get it. It won’t be a problem for her anyway.

It just so happened that Gu Ye's house had all the pots and pans. She prepared the meat, put it in a pot with cold water, added ginger slices and peppercorns to remove the fishy smell, skimmed off the foam, and poured out the water.

Shi Qing boiled another pot of water, put in the braised meat buns, added the pheasant meat and pork that had just been braised, added some salt, ginger slices, chili peppers, and peppercorns, put it in the pot and started to boil.

After a while, the delicious aroma of braised meat spread throughout the military compound, and the aunts in the yard looked at each other in surprise.

"Who's stewing meat? Why does it smell so good?"

"Oh my, the smell makes me hungry. It tastes even better than the ones in state-owned restaurants!"

Aunt Liu happened to be entering from the military compound. When she was walking towards home, she could smell the increasingly strong aroma of meat. Could it be that the family next door was stewing the food?

Come to think of it, Xiao Gu from next door doesn’t cook much, so how come he has such good cooking skills now?

When Aunt Liu entered the house, she saw her daughter-in-law stroking her belly.

"Mom, our neighbor is braising meat. It smells so delicious. Your grandson said he's craving meat! How about we go buy some?"

Aunt Liu glanced at her daughter-in-law helplessly and said, "Just say you're craving it. Why are you using your grandson as an excuse? Forget it. If you want to eat it, I'll buy it for you."

The young wife immediately hugged Aunt Liu's arm and said coquettishly, "I know that mother treats me the best!"

Aunt Liu smiled helplessly. She only had this one daughter-in-law, so naturally she had to treat her well and keep her in good health so that her grandson would have nutrition. No matter what the family conditions were, she had to care about her daughter-in-law.

Aunt Liu knocked on the neighbor's door hesitantly, feeling a little nervous. After a while, the door opened and a familiar face appeared in front of Aunt Liu.

"Hey, little girl, why is it you!"

Shi Qing was also a little surprised to meet Aunt Liu here. She quickly invited Aunt Liu into the house and poured her a cup of tea.

"Aunt Liu, what can I do for you?"

Aunt Liu hesitated a bit, glanced at Shi Qing, and asked, "Little girl, are you and Xiao Gu boyfriend and girlfriend?"

Shi Qing explained, "Brother Gu Ye and I are from the same hometown. My parents found Brother Gu Ye to make it convenient for me to go to school."

Aunt Liu finally breathed a sigh of relief, and thinking of her daughter-in-law, she had to flatter herself and speak.

"Do you sell braised pork? My daughter-in-law is growing up and she's craving it, but the braised pork from state-owned restaurants isn't to her taste."

Shi Qing smiled and said, "Of course."

Since business came to her door, there was no reason for her not to do it. She had to sell the braised meat anyway.

"I wonder how much is a pound of braised pork? Give me five pounds of meat."

Shi Qing seemed to be lost in thought. In the 70s, pork was mostly cents per pound, and braised pork was a little more expensive, about five yuan per pound. However, she wanted to do long-term business, so the price couldn't be too high.

"Pork is two yuan a pound, and chickens and ducks are six yuan each. How much do you want?"

After Aunt Liu entered the house, she took a look at Shi Qing's braising pot. It was indeed filled with fragrance, and the meat inside had a beautiful color, a color she could not make, and it was worth the price.

"Two chickens, five pounds of meat, and five of these braised eggs. My daughter-in-law likes them."

Shi Qing calculated the price and said, "Twenty-three yuan for the whole thing, and I'll give you some marinade ingredients."

Aunt Liu nodded and gave the money to Shi Qing. Seeing that she had all the materials, she wondered if she was planning to open a store, so she asked casually.

"I haven't asked your name yet, little girl. We will be neighbors from now on, so we'll have to interact with each other."

"Just call me Shi Qing."

Aunt Liu nodded and said with a smile, "Good boy, I heard that you are studying in the middle school next door. It seems that you are not only good-looking and smart, but also very good at making braised dishes."

"Auntie is joking."

Wait until Shi Qing handed the braised meat to Aunt Liu. Looking at the still hot braised dish, Aunt Liu didn't stay for long. Thinking of her pregnant daughter-in-law, she turned around and went back home.

Aunt Liu's family had just finished their meal, and her daughter-in-law praised the braised dishes highly, and her complexion looked much better.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law praised Shi Qing's braised dishes highly.

The news that Aunt Liu bought braised meat spread, and someone asked about Aunt Liu's daughter-in-law's diet and mentioned Shi Qing's braised meat, which attracted the attention of many aunts and grandmothers in the military compound.

Most of the people living in the military compound are family members, and they have some money at home, so they never treat themselves badly when it comes to food and drink.

It is precisely because of this that many elderly people came to Shi Qing’s braised meat shop before it was officially opened.

Shi Qing's braised meat was sold out in just two hours. The aunt who arrived late and failed to buy the braised meat had to return home.

After a busy afternoon, Shi Qing felt a little tired, so he simply closed the door, leaned on the sofa, looked at the sunset outside and started to do his homework.

The time for the resumption of the college entrance examination is getting closer and closer, and her goal is to go to a university in Beijing, so naturally there is no time to lose.

Perhaps the students in the provincial capital would receive the news earlier, but Shi Qing was still very confident in himself.

At seven o'clock in the evening, the sky gradually darkened, the twilight hid in the clouds, and night gradually arrived.

When Qin Ping'an came back, Shi Qing had already prepared several dishes. There was some left from the braised meat in the afternoon, so she saved it specially for Qin Ping'an.

The rice was already cooked. Her brother Qin Ping'an was considerate and had bought rice and daily necessities on the day he moved in.

"Sister, look what I brought you!"

Qin Ping'an took out something from his pocket as if offering a treasure, hid it in his palm, and asked Shi Qing to guess what it was.

"Could it be a watch?"

Shi Qing made a random guess, and Qin Ping'an felt helpless. His sister was so smart that she actually guessed it right.

"Yes, it's a watch!"

Qin Ping'an handed a pink watch to Shi Qing. He bought it with six dollars from his salary. It looked very delicate. He thought that his sister would definitely need it for school!

Shi Qing took the watch, put it on without any hesitation, and praised, "Brother, you have a good taste. I like it very much."

Qin Ping'an was very happy. His sister liked the gift and didn't blame him. That was great!

"Qingqing, your cooking is so delicious, but why is there braised pork today? I saved it for you!"

He gave the braised meat in the bowl to Shi Qing, but saw Shi Qing quickly shaking his head and said firmly.

"Brother, have some braised pork. I made it myself. Try it. What do you think of my cooking skills? How does it compare to others?"

Qin Ping'an naturally praised it highly. Shi Qing told him her idea, she wanted to start a braised meat business.

Qin Ping'an, who was originally carefree, was silent for a long time, and finally spoke slowly.

"Sister, whatever you want to do, I support you!"

After saying that, Qin Ping'an gave the two big unity notes in his pocket to Shi Qing.
