Rebirth in the 80's: The Daily Life of the Villain's Mom-Chapter 18: I’ll Cook Tonight

Why does he listen to Jiang Ran like that?

He hasn’t even asked Jiang Ran why she wants to buy these things!

How much did buying these things cost?

"Why are you daydreaming, hurry and move!" Seeing Pei Yang standing there in a daze, Jiang Ran urged.

"I got it."

Pei Yang agreed instinctively and turned to walk home.

Pei Baoshan and Wang Cuilan also did not look pleased, but they did not need Jiang Ran’s urging to help move things.

The three of them each made two trips and managed to get all the things home.

Jiang Ran paid the fare, thanked the driver, and then held Pei Jing’s hand to walk home.

The villagers who were standing not far away and watching the excitement whispered a few comments and then dispersed.

In the Pei Family’s courtyard, Jiang Ran washed her hands and face with cold water and instantly felt refreshed.

She looked up at the sky, estimated the time, and guessed it to be around five o’clock now.

It was still spring, so it got dark relatively early, and it was time to make dinner.

Usually, the Pei Family’s dinner was made by Pei Shanshan and Wang Cuilan together.

Today, however, Jiang Ran was the first to step into the kitchen.

If she wanted to sell food in the county, she had to let the Pei Family taste her cooking skills first.

Seeing Jiang Ran enter the kitchen, Wang Cuilan and Pei Shanshan exchanged a glance and quickly followed her in.

Jiang Ran didn’t know how to use this traditional stove and was worrying about how to start the fire when Wang Cuilan and Pei Shanshan came in. Her eyes immediately lit up.

"Shanshan, hurry and start the fire, I’ll cook tonight."

Pei Shanshan wanted to refuse, but she didn’t dare!

She glanced at Wang Cuilan and saw that although Wang Cuilan frowned, she didn’t show any intention of opposing, so Pei Shanshan begrudgingly walked to the stove and started the fire.

Jiang Ran rolled up her sleeves, ready to get down to business.

She intended to make braised pork with potatoes, but since she didn’t know where the potatoes were kept, she looked at Wang Cuilan.

"I need a few potatoes."

Jiang Ran said this with a hint of embarrassment.

She wasn’t doing it on purpose; it was just that the word "mom" was hard to say out loud.

Forget it, maybe later!

Fortunately, Wang Cuilan didn’t mind.

Not only did she not mind, but Wang Cuilan also looked at Jiang Ran with a bit of surprise.

The way Jiang Ran talked to her was much better than before.

Seeing Wang Cuilan turn around to get the potatoes, Jiang Ran quickly added, "If there’s any green onion or ginger, wash a little of that too."

At this time, Pei Shanshan had already gotten the fire going, and Jiang Ran added water to both the big and small pots.

After adding water, Jiang Ran hurriedly opened the bag of rice.

She scooped the rice, washed it, and put it in the small pot.

This was for making porridge.

Only white rice was available now, so she could only make white rice porridge.

Once she earned some money, she could slowly buy ingredients to add to it!

Thinking this, Jiang Ran quickly cut a piece of pork belly.

She washed the meat a little before putting it in the pot.

After the pork belly changed color from cooking, she took it out, drained the water, and then cut it into large chunks. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

She removed the water from the pot, dried it, added oil, and put in the sugar.

Once the caramelized sugar was ready, she placed the cut meat chunks inside.

"Shanshan, lower the fire a bit."

Jiang Ran said to Pei Shanshan while caramelizing the meat.

The kitchen was now filled with a sweet aroma, and Pei Shanshan’s stomach even started to growl.

Upon hearing Jiang Ran’s request, she instinctively pulled a few sticks out of the fire and placed them in the ashes below.

When the meat was nearly done, Jiang Ran poured in the prepared water, then added the green onion, ginger, star anise, and various seasonings.
