"Let me see what delicious food you have today.”
“........”
Sitting on the wooden bench, the strong-willed Deaf Old Lady suppressed the sadness in her heart and said.
He reached out a wrinkled hand and opened the lunch box in front of him.
In front of her was a fragrant red braised pork. The top was oily and shiny. At a glance, she could tell that it was top-grade pork belly. Moreover, a lot of oil was added. The bottom was yellow millet porridge, and she could even smell a faint sweetness.
Presumably.
There must be sugar in it.
The Deaf Old Lady's expression changed instantly.
"Xiao Xi, why are you having such a sumptuous meal?”
The high-quality pork belly and the braised pork were at least seven to eight taels. There was also a lot of oil added to it.
Although millet porridge was common, there were sugar cubes added to it.
Just the lunch that they had brought to show their respect to him was worth about 70 cents. They must have made more than one serving. According to the amount of food for three people, this lunch alone would cost more than two yuan.
No matter how rich he was, he couldn't eat it this way!
An ordinary worker's monthly salary was only about 20 yuan. This lunch of yours had already eaten one-tenth of someone else's monthly salary.
"Don't worry, Old Madam. I just retired from the army and received a lot of retirement money.”
"No way, no way. Even if we get a retirement pension, we can't waste money like this.”
"I only come back to eat occasionally, not every day. Just put this heart in your stomach and eat without worry.”
"This-"
Hearing Chen Xi's explanation.
Only then did the Deaf Old Lady accept it a little.
Looking at the fragrant braised pork and the sweet millet porridge in front of her, she seemed to be unable to resist. She picked up the pair of chopsticks that Chen Luo Qing had prepared.
He was old.
The Deaf Old Lady's teeth weren't very good either. She had lost a few teeth.
He couldn't even bite hard things.
However, the braised pork cooked by Chen Xi was soft and sticky. Coupled with the millet porridge with just the right thickness, it was just right for the Deaf Old Lady to eat.
"Old Madam, you should eat the food that Brother Xi made as soon as possible. It won't taste good if it gets cold.”
"Okay, okay, okay. I haven't tasted Xiao Xi's food before. Today, I can try it.”
He picked up a piece of red braised pork and put it into his mouth.
He didn't even need to chew it like that, but it had a soft and sticky texture, as if it melted in his mouth.
A moment later.
The Deaf Old Lady's eyes lit up!
"Hey!"
"Delicious!"
The fragrant top-grade pork belly was wrapped in sauce and boiled in oil.
It made the taste sublime.
Even the cooking skills of that kid, Silly Zhu, were probably slightly inferior to Xiao Xi's.
He didn't know what Xiao Xi was responsible for in the army. With such good cooking skills, could it be that she was a cook?
The Deaf Old Lady didn't think too much about it. She couldn't stop eating with her chopsticks. She ate a mouthful of braised pork and then a mouthful of millet porridge. The taste was so beautiful!
In this era.
Red braised pork and millet porridge.
This was already considered a luxurious meal, enough to satisfy 99% of the people.
In the future, the dishes of this combination would probably be eaten until many people wanted to vomit. They would not even look up to them.
"Burp!"
After eating the entire lunchbox.
The Deaf Old Lady also burped.
There was nothing they could do about it. The food was simply too good. They couldn't stop eating. They even felt that the remaining food was a waste. Naturally, they had to carry out the 'Disc Operation' and eat it all up.
"Xiao Luo, your brother's cooking skills are much better than Silly Zhu's. You'll be in luck in the future.”
"What? Wasn't Silly Zhu a chef at the rolling mill?”
"What's wrong with being a chef?" The Deaf Old Lady shook her head and said," I've eaten Silly Zhu's food before. Compared to your brother's cooking, it's still a little lacking. In addition, the ingredients are exquisite, so the taste is completely different.”
"Old Madam, tell the Yi family later that they don't need to deliver food in the future. If you're hungry, come to our house to eat.”
Chen Xi pondered for a moment and said.
He had a very deep impression of the Deaf Old Lady's grandson, Ye Wu, the commander of the Razor Sharp Company. He had once used his body to block a bullet for him on the battlefield. Although he did not die immediately, he had still sustained some serious injuries.
The two of them had a life-and-death relationship, so he naturally had to take care of his only grandmother.
In any case.
It was just a matter of adding another pair of chopsticks.
It was nothing at all.
Besides, other than the Deaf Old Lady's 'favoritism' towards Silly Zhu, she was indeed a respectable elder.
If it was Jia Zhangshi that kind of old pious woman, Chen Xi simply didn't want to bother.
"Okay, okay, okay. After I pass away, I'll entrust this house and the pension to you.”
"Old Madam, what are you talking about? I, Chen Xi, am only helping the families of the martyrs. How can I be greedy for their money? You can keep these things for yourself.”
"Alright, alright, alright. We'll talk about it in the future.”
Hearing Chen Xi's words, the Deaf Old Lady's face became even more satisfied.
At the same time, her heart was as clear as a mirror.
Naturally, he also knew that Silly Zhu would probably be controlled by Qin Huiru and Yi Zhonghai. It would be best if he could wake him up, but if he could not, there was nothing he could do.
If he left the house and pension to Silly Zhu, it would all become the Jia family's property sooner or later.
The Deaf Old Lady would rather bring them all into the ground than see this scene.
Now.
Chen Xi's appearance.
This gave the Deaf Old Lady another choice.
