Wang Xuewen returned home and began to prepare the ingredients for dinner.
The main dishes were Sichuan Boiled Beef and Steamed Pork Ribs with Rice Noodles.
These were two main dishes.
Wang Xuewen liked to eat all kinds of dishes.
However, his favorite dish was still Sichuan and Hunan cuisine.
The spiciness was satisfying and comfortable.
Boiled beef, using the most tender beef tenderloin, cut into thin slices, wrapped in raw flour, egg white marinated for a period of time.
After the meat was marinated, he cut it open with hot oil and scooped it up for later use.
Then, he stir-fried the bean paste that he had prepared, added water to boil it, and added some of his favorite vegetables.
It could be lettuce, bean sprouts, or cabbage.
As long as he liked to eat, he didn't need to be so rigid.
Once the vegetables were cut off, they could be fished out and placed in the basin.
After boiling the sliced meat in the soup for two minutes, the meat slices and soup could be poured into the vegetable basin together.
Then, he sprinkled chili powder, minced garlic, chopped green onions, and pepper.
Finally, he boiled a suitable amount of hot oil and poured it directly on the meat slices.
In an instant, the fragrance filled the air.
Just hearing the sizzling sound made people drool uncontrollably.
Steamed pork ribs with vermicelli was simple.
He blanched the ribs and removed the blood. Then, he added ginger slices and cooking wine to remove the fishy smell.
He added his own bean paste and stirred it evenly. Finally, he poured in the rice noodles and stirred them evenly again.
After marinating for fifteen minutes, it could be steamed.
Under the plate, there were some vegetables.
It was usually potatoes.
During the steaming process, the potatoes absorbed the oil and fragrance of the steamed pork ribs.
After it was cooked, the taste was especially similar.
If you don't like potatoes, you can also change potatoes to other dishes.
For example, cabbage and eggplant.
If you want to taste dark cuisine, you can also put tomatoes.
Wang Xuewen liked to eat potatoes, so he cut them into thick potato slices for later use.
In the 1960s, resources were not abundant.
It was winter, and there were not many types of vegetables.
Most of them were cabbages, potatoes, and radishes. Because they could be stored for a long time, they were easy to store.
Wang Xuewen had just prepared the ingredients and was ready to wash the pot before cooking.
There were still many plates, but there were only two pots.
Just as she got up, she heard footsteps approaching from outside.
He looked at the door and heard someone calling him from outside.
"Wang Xuewen, are you home?"
Was that voice Yu Li?
"It's Sister Yu Li? If there's anything, come in." Wang Xuewen said.
He was still thinking about what excuse he should find to trick Yu Li into becoming his 'babysitter'.
He did not expect her to come knocking on his door.
Yu Li lifted the curtain and walked in.
When she saw the dishes on the table, she subconsciously swallowed her saliva.
That large plate of ribs should be at least two to three catties, right?
There was also that large plate of beef. There should be at least one or two catties, right?
This life was too extravagant!
She only ate a cornbread and a bowl of porridge that could see the bottom of the bowl.
As for the dishes, there was only a plate of cabbage and a plate of stir-fried shredded potatoes!
She suddenly felt wronged!
Wang Xuewen naturally saw Yu Li's gaze.
It was easy to be envious, but he was afraid that she would not be greedy!
"Silly Zhu lost nine yuan yesterday, so I'm going to reward myself today.”Wang Xuewen said with a smile.
"I should." Yu Li smiled awkwardly and retracted her gaze with difficulty.
Although the two dishes had not been cooked yet, just looking at them made her drool.
However, she was too embarrassed to ask to stay for dinner.
Moreover, she didn't come to Wang Xuewen to eat, but to borrow a bicycle.
"Um, Xuewen, I have a favor to ask of you.”Yu Li directly called Wang Xuewen by his name, wanting to make the two of them seem closer.
"Oh? What is it?" Wang Xuewen asked.
Although he was prepared to trick Yu Li into becoming his 'babysitter', he would not agree to everything without even listening to any questions.
"My auntie is in the capital now. I want to take her with me to ride a bicycle around the capital.”
"But my family only has one bicycle. So I wanted to borrow your bicycle for a day.”Yu Li said, a little embarrassed.
After all, they weren't close in the past.
It was indeed a little embarrassing to suddenly come and borrow a bicycle.
However, he had no choice but to borrow it.
"Doesn't Third Uncle also have a bicycle?”Wang Xuewen said deliberately.
Now that Yu Li had come to beg him, he naturally had to put on a show.
If it was too easy to get, he would not cherish half of it.
"My dad will be using his bike tomorrow.”Yu Li felt even more embarrassed.
Tomorrow was the weekend, and Third Master Yan Bugui was not working. What could he need to do by bicycle?
Yu Li was too embarrassed to say that Yan Bugui was going fishing on his bike!
Wang Xuewen naturally knew that tomorrow was the weekend, but he did not expose it.
"Well…it's not like I can't borrow it." Wang Xuewen thought for a moment and then spoke.
"Really?" Yu Li was delighted.
"Sister Yu Li, you know that I'm living alone now. There's no one to clean the house."
"These bowls and chopsticks have been left there for three days. The clothes that I changed yesterday haven't been washed either.”Wang Xuewen pointed at the clothes in the corner and the bowls and chopsticks in the basin.
"It's nothing. I'll help you wash it!" Yu Li quickly took the initiative to do the work.
Wasn't it just washing dishes and clothes?
She had to do this every day.
"That's what I meant. You don't have a job now. Why don't you come and help me wash the dishes, wash the clothes, and clean the house every few days?”
"As for the dishes, you can wash them once every two or three days. She only had to come once a week to do the cleaning and laundry.”
"I'll give you five yuan a month. How about it?”Wang Xuewen asked.
Yu Li calculated in her heart.
She washed the dishes once every three days, and she could do it up to ten times a month. It took less than half an hour for each time.
Once a week, he would clean up the place, which meant four times a month.
It would take him an entire morning to complete the task.
In other words, he could earn five yuan by working for two or three days a month!？？
This was too easy!
"I'll do it! Besides, I'll wash your dishes every day. Otherwise, I won't be able to get the money!”Yu Li quickly agreed, afraid that Wang Xuewen would go back on his word.
The two of them only had to pay two yuan a month for food.
He had earned five yuan in one go!
If she didn't agree to hurry up, she was afraid that she would lose such a good job!
"Alright, it's decided then. Let me know when you have a job. I'll find someone else then.”Wang Xuewen said.
"No need! If you have a job, I can help you clean up!”Yu Li quickly said.
How long would it take to wash the dishes and clothes?
That was five yuan a month!
"That works too." Wang Xuewen smiled and nodded, then took out his bicycle key.
"Take the car keys. When you're done, return the car directly.”
"Deal! I'll go back and tell Jiefang first. I'll come back later to get you to work.”Yu Li took the car keys happily.
It was the right thing to come today!
Yu Li took the car keys and ran out.
She did not push the bicycle.
Wang Xuewen had already said that he would take the car away after he finished his work.
She was too embarrassed to push it now.
What if Wang Xuewen was unhappy and didn't let her do the cleaning work?
