After being busy for the whole afternoon, the four members of the Zhou family enjoyed their meal very happily in the evening.
One of the dishes is the healthy fermented bean curd bowl that Zhou Jianghai steamed in the morning. After boiling the carefully selected pork belly in water for fifteen minutes, he took it out and cut it into thin long slices, which were neatly arranged in the bowl. At this time, the fat and lean meat were half and half. The upper half was crystal-clear fat, and the lower half was tender red lean meat with a few strands of fat. Then, it was mixed with finely blended red fermented bean curd, sugar color, shredded ginger, shredded green onion, and soy sauce. Finally, a little fermented bean curd soup was poured in, and the food was steamed in a steamer and heated. After an hour, the fragrant aroma filled the room.
Dad Zhou steamed dozens of portions in a steamer at one time. He was too tired at night, so he just took out a bowl for dinner.
I can eat two bowls of rice with steamed buns.
The neighboring Dong family smelled the aroma of meat, and Dong Xinglong, the son of the Dong family, suddenly threw down his chopsticks and lost his temper: "I want to eat meat too! I want to eat meat!"
The Dong family was wealthy, and they had stockpiled a large quantity of meat in the refrigerator of their large villa. However, due to a silent flood in the middle of the night, the family had to escape in a rather awkward manner, and the meat in both freezers had gone bad.
Tung Chee-hwa spent a lot of money to buy a few kayaks and hired his former subordinates to take his family back to the old house. Although the journey was not very difficult, the food was not so exquisite and they only ate dry food most of the time.
When I first got home, there was no fresh food, just a small bag of rice, a bag of black fungus, a bag of salt, and a bottle of mushroom sauce bought from the supermarket boat. Now the prices on the supermarket boat are not only ridiculously expensive, but there is also a purchase limit. No matter how much money you spend, you can only buy one supply.
Today, the Dong family's lunch was rice with fried black fungus and mushroom sauce. It was better than the dry food they had on the road, but once they smelled the strong aroma of meat from the other side, it lost all its flavor.
Dong Jianhua raised his eyebrows and glared at him: "If you don't want to eat it, then take out your share and confiscate it. Go back to your bedroom."
Tung Chee-hwa was a man of foresight and had some inside information. He saw that the future situation was serious. After his own home was flooded, he implemented a system of equalized meals, where everyone ate a fixed amount of food at a fixed time according to age and gender, and the rest was saved to deal with future food shortages.
Dong Xinglong had been on the run for the past few days, enduring hardships he had never experienced in all those years. He was already on the verge of an emotional outburst. Upon hearing his father's ruthless rebuke, he suddenly stood up and shouted, "If you don't want to eat, then don't eat! Who cares!"
He turned around and strode back to the bedroom.
"Longlong, Longlong, come back for dinner!" Tung Chee-hwa's wife Chen Qiu called out a few times, but all she got in response was a loud door slamming shut.
Chen Qiu doted on this child extremely. He glanced at Dong Jianhua and quickly took Dong Xinglong's meal to the kitchen.
Tung Chee-hwa pretended not to see it and ate with a stern face.
Dong Qingqing sneered, took a few bites of her own portion, and returned to her room.
Because they are afraid that the nanny will steal food in the kitchen, Aunt Song now eats at the same table with them so that she can see at a glance how much they have eaten.
She quickly finished her meal, cleared the dishes, and went to the kitchen to work.
Chen Qiu discussed with Tung Chee-hwa, "We can still afford meat now, either because we have access to it or because we have some in stock at home. Jianhua, why don't you talk to your neighbor and ask them to buy some meat for the children? We just moved in and are short of everything, so it would be nice to have some in stock."
When moving, Tung Chee-hwa also spent a large sum of money to buy a solar power generation device. It could not power large electrical appliances, but it could power a refrigerator.
There is no glass on the seventh floor of their house, so they can only place the power generation equipment on the balcony.
Tung Chee-hwa's gloomy face slowly relaxed. After thinking for a while, he decided that even if he used his connections to buy supplies, it would take some time. It would be better to buy them from his neighbors first.
He nodded: "It's too late today, I'll go to Zhou's house to talk about it tomorrow."
