Li Anran was still very happy to be able to extort a sum of money from the beasts. After she turned around and entered the kitchen, she took out a thick stack of money and patted it on her hand. Li Jingjiang and Li Nian shook their heads when they saw how rich he was.
"Dad, Sis, with this money, I want to buy more snacks, candies, fruits, cigarettes, and other things in the afternoon.”Li Anran sat down at the dining table and placed the money on the table." According to Dad, there's actually no shortage of food and drink in the old forest in the northeast, but this kind of non-staple food is definitely not easy to buy.”
"Even if there is a community in the village, there definitely won't be many varieties. I thought that since it was my first time going back, I would bring more things with me since I was unfamiliar with the place. At that time, I would be able to get closer to the local villagers.”
"It's good that you think that way." Li Jingjiang nodded. He picked up a peanut with his chopsticks and threw it into his mouth to chew." As the old saying goes, the poor are rich. It was very important for you to have a good relationship with the locals when you were out.”
"How about this, Xiaonian, take out all the money and tickets you can use at home later. Other than what Anran said, you should buy the blankets and bedding according to the standards of the two of them. Prepare one for that old man.”
"I'll buy it, Dad." Li Nian nodded.
"Dad, there's no need. My master doesn't care about this.”Li Anran didn't want to waste this money.
"Whether your master is particular or not is his business, but whether we are prepared or not is our business.”Li Jingjiang shook his head." Don't forget that you're not considered his disciple yet. You can't be less filial. Otherwise, people will think that your character is not good.”
"Besides, they gave you so many gold bars. According to the current market price, one can be sold for about 2000 yuan. Compared to what the old master gave you, all we can do is give our best in the details, understand?”
"That's true." What else could Li Anran, who had such evidence, say? She nodded immediately and pretended to remember." Oh right, Dad, Master gave me two gold bars when he gave me the wild boar. Keep it well later. When Sister gets married, you must make it grand!”
"I'm not getting married!" Li Nian walked over with a plate of braised pork and rolled her eyes at her brother." Brother, you don't have to worry about me." As for you, if you really meet a girl you like and marry her, I don't care if she's from the city or not, as long as she's good.”
"Alright, alright, alright. I was clearly talking about you. Why are you talking about me now?”Li Anran instantly retreated and pressed her sister onto the bench." The dishes are almost ready. Sister, you and Dad eat first. I'll go and fry the pork chops. I guarantee it'll be delicious."”
"Let me do it. Be careful not to burn you.”Li Nian was about to get up when Li Jingjiang said," Alright, Anran's heart aches for you. Let him do it. If you can't even do such a small thing well, don't go out as soon as possible, lest you lose face!”
"If he doesn't go out, then he won't. I'll take care of him in the future!”Li Nian was not afraid of her father when it came to caring for her younger brother.
"Aren't you afraid of delaying your marriage?”Li Jingjiang asked helplessly.
"I said I won't marry anyone. I'm willing to raise my brother. I'm willing!”Li Nian was very stubborn on this matter.
She wasn't joking. Compared to marrying into someone else's family to serve her husband, mother-in-law, and father-in-law, Li Nian really felt that serving her biological brother was more comfortable and happy.
"Alright, alright, alright. Let's not talk about this anymore. I'm going to fry pork chops.”Li Anran quickly stopped and then began to get busy.
Although Li Nian did not take over, she still stared at her brother, afraid that something would happen.
Fortunately, Li Anran was a foodie in his previous life. He had watched countless food videos and works of food ups.
It was just a fried pork chop. It didn't matter even if there were no bread crumbs. Mantou crumbs could make do.
The marinated pork chop was first covered with a layer of flour, then dipped in the egg mixture, then dipped in the steamed bun crumbs, and finally dipped in the oil pan.
When the frying was almost done, he used a big colander to remove the oil first. At the same time, he used the remaining temperature to further fry the pork.
Finally, he placed it on the cutting board, cut it into strips, and placed them on a plate. Then, he mixed a simple dipping sauce and placed it in a small bowl. It was ready.
"Come, come, come. Dad, Sis, try my fried pork chop.”Li Anran pushed the plate in front of them.
"Then try it." Li Jingjiang looked at the fried pork chop that looked good. He picked up one and bit it. Good heavens, it was actually very delicious!
"Not bad, brother. This pork chop is really good!”Li Nian also took a bite, and her pretty face was very surprised.
"The main thing is that this pig is good. I don't know what kind of pig this is. It says it's a wild boar, but it doesn't taste like it.”Li Anran deliberately threw out this question. He knew that with his father's experience of traveling around, he would definitely be able to tell that something was wrong.
"It really doesn't look like wild boar meat.”Li Jingjiang put the remaining half of the fried pork chop into his mouth and chewed." But it doesn't look like a domestic pig. The domestic pork won't be so tender and won't taste so good. But it's definitely pork. It's indeed strange.”
"Dad, why don't I ask Master the next time I see him?”Li Anran smiled.
"Why don't you ask?" Li Jingjiang shook his head and took a sip from his wine cup." Anran, let me teach you a lesson. After you go out, don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask, regardless of whether you're following the old man or cutting in line.”
"This person can't be curious. It's not a good thing to be too curious. He would naturally tell you what he should tell you. Even if you asked, she wouldn't tell you what she shouldn't tell you. If you forced yourself to tell her, it wouldn't be good for you or her, understand?”
"Oh, then when I get to the place where I cut the queue, I'll listen more, look more, talk less, and do more work. Is that okay?”Li Anran quickly nodded.
"That's right!" Li Jingjiang smiled gratefully." Come, let's have a toast. Today is Anran's birthday, and in a few days, we'll be fighting for the great country. Let's have a good drink and be happy.”
"Alright, cheers!"
"Fuck!"
Although Li Nian was a girl, she inherited Li Jingjiang's alcohol tolerance. She wouldn't get drunk even if she drank a pound of white wine. Whoever wanted to get her drunk would probably end up in a miserable state.
However, they still had things to do in the afternoon, so the three of them only ordered until then. Their main priority was to eat.
Li Anran's fried pork chops were well received by his father and sister, and the not-so-authentic braised pork was also quite popular.
Especially the red sauce soup, it was thick, smooth, salty, and sweet. If you scooped a spoonful of it and poured it on white rice, you could eat three big bowls!
After eating and drinking to her heart's content, Li Nian cleaned up again while Li Anran handed the three gold bars to her father.
"Dad, forget it if it's too dangerous.”Li Anran couldn't help but remind him," It's actually nothing without that thing. With my current strength, who can beat me?" Don't drag you down because of this. If that happens, my sin will be huge.”
"Don't worry, I know what to do." Li Jingjiang kept the three heavy gold bars close to his body." Those things are actually not as dangerous as you think. Not to mention that there are many people in the city who can legally hold guns, there are even more people in the countryside who have guns.”
"Besides, I don't plan to go to the factory's armory to get it. "These weapons are damaged and eliminated every year. In addition, our rolling mill doesn't have much, but we definitely have enough equipment and materials. You can just keep them in peace. There won't be any problems.”
As soon as he said this, Li Anran understood. He originally thought that his father was planning to use someone's back door to buy a ready-made one.
However, the meaning behind his words was clearly not the case.
Thinking about it, it made sense. The militia in this factory had to go out for training every year, and some guns would be scrapped every month.
He only needed to get some parts that were in good condition and process the rest himself. He could easily assemble a gun that had no foundation.
As for the bullets, they were even easier to deal with. They were consumables. In the past, when the militia died, they had to destroy tens of thousands of bullets. They would not be as strict as in the future, where they had to hand over the shells according to the number of bullets fired.
Perhaps it was not easy for ordinary people to get it, but it was not a big deal for people with some connections.
One had to know that all kinds of air guns were sold directly at the counter in the department store these days!
Coupled with his trust in his father, Li Anran simply did not worry about this anymore.
