  Chapter 92 Braised pork

  Tian Shao remembered that everyone in the dormitory talked about Xu Lina yesterday, she had heard this name from Li Aihua before: "Sister Aihua, I heard that Xu Lina from the Publicity Department went to study in the district?"

Li Aihua said disdainfully: "Yes, she goes there every year, but after studying for three years, I haven't found that she has made any progress. Let me tell you, the only thing she can do well is that she can write well. But compared with you, it is far behind. gone."

  Tian Shao felt that maybe this girl had no talent in this area.

  Saturday is a holiday. He Guoqing knew that Tian Shao's house was far away, and considering that it would be unsafe for her to walk at night without a bicycle, he asked her to leave work an hour early.

   Tian Shao hesitated and asked: "Section Chief, I just arrived, will it be bad if I go home early?"

  He Guoqing said with a smile: "This is also for your safety, and there is nothing to say if others know it. But only this time, let your family pick you up next time."

  Always go back early, it will definitely not work, even if the factory leaders know about the special reason this time, they will understand. After all, something happened not long ago, so be careful.

   Tian Shao happily thanked her, then went back to the dormitory to pack her things and went to the state-run restaurant. Walking into the meal, a tangy aroma hit Tian Shao. Tian Shao's stomach growled instantly, who was not hungry at all.

  Walking to the counter, Tian Shao said to the elder sister inside: "Sister Chu, bring me two servings of braised pork."

   There are six people in the family, and each person can only get two or three pieces of meat for a serving of braised pork, which is not enough to eat.

  The well-rounded waiter's eldest sister is surnamed Chu, and she is a relative of Li Aihua's grandma after a few detours: "Comrade Tian, ​​why did you come alone this time, why didn't Aihua come?"

   Tian Shao said with a smile: "Sister Aihua is still at work. I want to go back to the countryside. The leader is afraid that it will be unsafe to go back too late. This time, let me leave work an hour earlier."

  Big Sister Chu leaned against the counter and said with a smile: "I thought you knew in advance that we invited a master chef to come here to cook food!"

   Before Tian Shao could speak, Eldest Sister Chu smiled and said, "It's also because you are a lucky girl. This Master Nan's father used to be an imperial cook, and what he is best at is braised pork."

  I have never tasted the dishes made by the descendants of the royal chef in my previous life, and Tian Shao also feels that he is lucky.

   "Girl, you want two servings of braised pork, a total of two yuan and twenty cents, and a catty of food stamps."

   It’s too expensive to pay a dollar and ten cents a catty, but you have to add half a catty of food stamps. No wonder these villagers dare not come here. However, the taste was so gluttonous that Tian Shao reluctantly paid for the food and money.

  Because the dishes were not ready yet, the eldest sister chatted with Tian Shao: "Comrade Tian, ​​you shouldn't be too old, right?"

   Looking at her face is so tender, she is definitely not twenty years old.

  Tian Shao felt that she could not pass the age threshold in this period of time, so she said with a smile, "I will be seventeen next month."

  The eldest sister was a little surprised, but quickly asked: "I thought you were eighteen or nineteen, but I didn't expect you to be seventeen, so you shouldn't be engaged at such a young age?"

  Tian Shao really wanted to say that I don’t know you well, but she knows that there are no secrets in such a small place in the county. If she dares to shame this elder sister, not only can she not buy braised pork now, but in a few days, people in the factory will say that she is defiant.

   Tian Shao showed a professional smile and said, "It's decided, but it was quickly returned because of a misunderstanding."

  The eldest sister, surnamed Chu, was a little disappointed when she heard this, but the nature of gossip made her continue to ask: "What misunderstanding?"

   "I went into the water to save people, but my parents mistakenly thought that I was dissatisfied with the marriage and threw myself into the river. Before I woke up, they went to the man's house to withdraw from the marriage."

  Big Sister Chu thought for a while after hearing this, and then she showed an incredulous expression: "Could you be the girl from the Red Flag Club who dived to save lives?"

  She only knows Tian Shao's nickname, not her real name.

   "Yes, that's me."

  Tian Shao thought she was wrong, not because the county is too small to have any secrets, but because the whole county is too small to have any secrets.

  Sister Chu couldn't understand: "Your parents promised you to an old widower with three children for three hundred and sixty yuan? What do they think?"

   "Did you buy this braised pork home for them to eat? You are so filial, you don't even remember what happened back then."

   Tian Shao didn't know if it was an illusion, but he always felt that the last sentence had a tentative tone. After thinking for a while, she said: "My family is poor, and the other party has a job. My parents think that the other party is older but doesn't have to work in the fields, so he can have food and clothing in the future. They are also doing it for my own good. But this is also what stimulated me. I just went to a textile factory. After this, my parents promised me that they will not interfere with my marriage after I decide on my own."

  Some older elder sisters like to be matchmakers, and elder sister Chu is the best among them. She asked enthusiastically, "Then what kind of match do you want?"

  Although this girl has divorced her marriage, she is more popular if she has a job and looks good.

  Tian Shao shook his head and said: "I don't have such thoughts now, I just want to work hard, and we will talk about the marriage after the age of twenty. Anyway, I am still young and I am not in a hurry."

  She suddenly felt that Zhao Xiaorou always had a cold face, and she probably didn't want to be asked to be a matchmaker. If it's a relative or friend, it's fine. It's too exaggerated to want to be a matchmaker after only meeting twice.

   Fortunately, at this time, the helper brought the dishes up. This time there was less braised pork, and the dish was not half full, but the color was golden and attractive, and it was still steaming. The rich and tangy fragrance made Tian Shao couldn't help swallowing.

  Tian Shao ordered food, held back his greed and walked out quickly.

  Seeing her running away, the master who served the dishes said with a smile: "Why, the old problem has happened again and scared the little girl away?"

  Sister Chu gave her a blank look, and then ordered food for the next customer.

  After leaving the state-run restaurant, Tian Shao forgot about the unpleasant episode, but the meat was so delicious that not only did it attract the attention of passers-by, but she herself was so greedy that she drool. When she got to a place where no one was around, she couldn't help but grabbed a piece and ate it, her eyes lit up as soon as she took a bite. This braised pork is fat but not greasy, with a slightly sweet taste, and it is soft and melts in the mouth. It is really a rare delicacy.

   After eating three yuan in a row, Tian Shao said to himself: "As expected of being a descendant of the royal chef, the dishes he cooks are delicious."

  Although there is little oil and water here, it is not so gluttonous. Tian Shao decided to ask Li Aihua about this chef when he got to work, and if he had the opportunity to go to the state-run restaurant where he worked, he would have a real treat.

  Arrived at home, Siya greeted her as soon as she saw her and asked, "Sister, what delicious food did you bring back?"

   Before Tian Shao could speak, Li Guihua poked her on the forehead and cursed: "Eat, eat, eat, you know how to eat all day long. But if you put your mind on work, you won't just get three work points."

  Siya said with a bitter face, "Mother, that **** is too heavy to carry."

  Tian Shao frowned when he heard this and asked, "Isn't Siya hunting pigweed? Why are you working in the fields now?"

Li Guihua snorted coldly and said: "Someone is jealous of us and shouts that you can support a family with your wages in the factory now, but our family will take all the benefits. Because there are too many people talking, the team leader will kill pigweed and put The cow's work was given to other children."

  Hearing this, Tian Shao felt that he should act more cautiously in the future, so as not to be targeted and reported. But this occasion is obviously inappropriate to say this, she changed the topic and said with a smile: "Mother, didn't you say last time that the state-run restaurant made braised pork and asked me to order a copy for my father and younger sisters to taste? It's just today When it happened, I typed two copies back.”

  Hearing that there was meat to eat, Siya jumped up happily.

  Although this was said by Li Guihua herself, when she saw the two lunch boxes full of meat, she still felt distressed and blamed: "How much did you spend?"

  Tian Shao was afraid that Li Guihua would not say anything if she knew she would not be able to sleep at night, so she smiled: "Mother, this time the state-run restaurant hired a master chef. The taste is absolutely amazing."

   After finishing speaking, he picked up a piece of meat and stuffed it into Li Guihua's mouth.

   Li Guihua, who originally wanted to ask about the price, asked Siya to get a bowl to divide the meat without saying a word after eating the meat. The five sisters shared a portion, and the portion touched by Tian Shao was eaten by Li Guihua and Tian Dalin.

   Tian Dalin has the most portion of vegetables in the family. It's not that Li Guihua prefers her husband, but Tian Dalin works too much and consumes a lot.

  When Tian Dalin saw the meat in several bowls, he frowned and said, "Osmanthus fragrans, share half of the meat in the lunch box with the children."

  Li Guihua shook her head and said, "Head of the family, you have worked the hardest at home these years. It's rare to buy such delicious braised pork. You should eat more."

  After living for nearly forty years, this is the first time I know that braised pork is so delicious. It feels like I have lived in vain before.

  Tian Shao thinks this is more touching than any love words.
