What surprised her the most was that the old man did not eat a few pieces first. This was abnormal.
He opened the fridge and rummaged through it, but he couldn't find any braised food. The old man's wife was unhappy.
"I can smell the fragrance of braised meat, but you're still hiding it to tease me. Take it out quickly. I'm starving.”
"I didn't get a spring chicken," the old man whispered.”
The old man's wife thought that the old man was late in line and the spring chicken was snatched away by the person in front of him. She didn't think too much about it." Then you can eat pig's head meat. Bring it over."”
The white-haired old man walked over and placed the braised beef on the table." Wife, I saw that this braised beef is very fragrant, so I couldn't help but buy some. Try it quickly. It tastes especially good."”
The old man's wife finally understood why the white-haired old man's expression was so strange. It turned out that he was afraid of being scolded by her when he bought the braised beef. She couldn't help but reflect on herself. Was she really too fierce? The old man had to be careful when he bought food.
It seemed that he had to be gentler in the future. This person was old, so he couldn't be too irritable.
"It's just braised beef. What's the big deal? Sit down and eat.”
The old man's wife picked up a piece of meat with her chopsticks and asked casually,"The color of this braised beef is so good, and the fragrance is so strong. How much is a catty?”
Seeing that his wife had no intention of nagging, the white-haired old man became bold.
"90 yuan per catty. I bought two catty.”
The daughter-in-law's hand that was picking up the vegetables paused. Her mouth was filled with braised beef, and her eyes were wide open like copper bells. 90 yuan per catty, which meant that this large plate of braised beef cost 180 yuan.
The daughter-in-law clutched her heart and felt that it was bleeding.
Let her think about it. A pound of pig's head meat and half a chicken would only cost fifty to sixty yuan. It would not be enough for two people to finish it. She would eat some at noon the next day.
Two catties of braised beef was a lot, but it was not as much as those two.
Besides, how much pig head meat could 180 yuan buy?
Women were more frugal than men and were more reluctant to spend money. The old man and his wife looked at the meat on the plate again. It was no longer braised beef, but two hundred yuan.
The braised beef in his mouth had yet to be chewed, but the fragrance had unknowingly seeped into his taste buds. The mellow fragrance traveled along the tip of his tongue and spread to his entire mouth, bit by bit. He could not help but drool.
The old man's wife, who was about to lose her temper, was attracted by the taste. She could not help but chew carefully. After eating a small piece of beef, her eyes lit up.
The braised beef was so delicious. The taste was too fragrant.
Looking at his wife's ever-changing expression, the old man was already prepared to be scolded by his wife. Who knew that after the old man's wife stared at him for a moment with her big eyes, her expression actually softened.
"Let's eat."
After saying that, he ignored the old man and picked up the largest piece of braised beef and put it into his mouth.
In order to make the 20 catties of braised beef taste better, Lu Jun had spent a lot of effort. Naturally, the taste was obvious.
The texture was soft and tender, and the fragrance was rich. Because there were tendons inside, it was especially chewy. It was also completely different from the taste of chicken. It was a small piece, and the fragrance swept through the entire taste buds.
The unique aroma and texture of beef were reflected in a small piece of meat.
The old man's wife became more and more greedy as she ate. How could she think about the meat being too expensive? Her heart was bleeding.
She picked up another piece of beef with her chopsticks. She had eaten the original flavor just now and the pure five flavors. Now, she dipped the meat in the sauce on the plate.
It was another taste. The juice was rich and the taste was mellow. The aftertaste was a little spicy, making it more moist in the mouth.
If he had to say which one was the most delicious, even the old man and his wife could not say clearly. In any case, they were all delicious.
The old man was staring at his wife in a daze, not understanding why she didn't get angry. Suddenly, he realized that his wife was burying her head in the meat and had no intention of paying attention to him. He quickly picked it up and ate it.
"Leave some for me."
Even though there was a huge plate and his wife couldn't finish it, the old man still picked up his chopsticks and quickly joined in the eating.
The beef was delicious, and the braised pork rice with marinade was delicious.
The old man ate two big bowls of rice.
When the two of them were full, there was still half of the beef left.
This thing was full, and when it entered his stomach, it was full. The old man looked at the remaining beef and thought that he could have another big meal for lunch tomorrow.
He made a bowl of white noodles, added a few vegetables, and put the braised beef into the bowl. That would be pure beef noodles.
The old man was full, but he felt like he was drooling again. He was looking forward to tomorrow's breakfast.
The old man's wife wiped the corner of her mouth and turned to look at the white-haired old man. Her expression made the old man's eyes twitch.
"It can't be. You've already finished it, and you still want to settle scores after the fall? This won't do. If you have the ability, spit out the braised beef you ate, and I'll admit to scolding you.”
The old man's wife rolled her eyes at him, then looked at the meat and asked,"Is your pocket money gone?”
"No more." The old man rummaged through his pockets and found that he only had around 20 yuan left.
In order to prevent him from spending money recklessly, his wife would take away all his money as soon as he got his retirement salary. She would give him some pocket money every few days. After buying meat today, he would not have any pocket money left.
The old man's wife turned around and entered the house. After a while, she came out with a few hundred yuan in her hand.
"Since you didn't spend your money on braised beef, I'll give you pocket money in advance.”
"Buy more tomorrow!"
There was a reason why braised beef was expensive. Why was it so delicious?
