The Deaf Old Lady didn't refuse the watermelon that Chen Jianjun handed over.
He ate it bit by bit.
Chen Jianjun also understood that whether the Deaf Old Lady came to him to play the emotional card or for other purposes, he was prepared to deal with it.
Let's wait and see.
In fact, Jianjun Chen couldn't bear to see the Deaf Old Lady alone.
Everyone had selfish motives, and so did Chen Jianjun himself.
However, as long as one violated one's principles and did not commit a crime, one was not considered a bad person.
In this day and age, there weren't many people who were really generous even if they didn't have enough to eat.
Rich men grow up with good conscience, but poor men grow up with evil schemes.
It was all because of the three meals a day.
The Deaf Old Lady ate the watermelon in her hand until the flesh reached the rind before she got up and left.
Before leaving, the Deaf Old Lady also said,""I just heard that you're going to work at the rolling mill tomorrow. Work hard in the future. When you go to work in the future, I'll keep an eye on your house.”
Chen Jianjun didn't refuse and sent the Deaf Old Lady back to her room.
I'll keep an eye on the house for you.
Jianjun Chen had heard this sentence before, but at that time, the Deaf Old Lady said it to Mother Chen.
Hearing this, Jianjun Chen felt a sense of familiarity.
Back in the house, Jianjun Chen also thought of his youth, especially after his brother went to the army.
At that time, Jia Zhang-shi had come to make a lot of trouble, and he was still young at that time.
When Jia Zhang-shi came to cause trouble, she was often beaten away by the Deaf Old Lady.
This was also the relationship between Chen Jianjun and the Deaf Old Lady.
This was one of the main reasons why Jianjun Chen didn't hate the deaf old lady.
Of course, she didn't really like him back then.
It was the same now. A person's status was not determined by the past, but by what that person did and how he did it in the present and in the future.
At this time, Captain Li and the others also came back to work.
Jianjun Chen also took out a big pot. It was a big pot that was more than ten inches wide. It could cook food for twenty people at a time.
Chen Jianjun planned to cook some salty rice.
The three layers of meat with a lot of fat were cut into three catties, leaving some fat and lean ones. They were sliced, and there was also garlic, cabbage, and celery. They were all washed and ready for use.
Ten catties of rice were washed clean.
On the coal stove, the three layers of meat were first stir-fried to produce oil. Then, garlic and shredded cabbage were added to stir-fry together, and salt and gourmet powder were added to season.
The whole pot of vegetables was oily. Then, Chen Jianjun added rice and stir-fried it together until the rice was golden yellow. He added the prepared boiling water and other seasonings, covered the lid, and began to simmer.
Considering that some people ate spicy food, Chen Jianjun also specially made a pot of chili sauce.
Then, he began to prepare the vegetable egg soup. This was everyone's lunch for the day.
10 catties of rice, 5 catties of cabbage, 3 catties of pork, and 1 catties of garlic.
When it was cooked, it filled a large pot.
Most importantly, it was very lucrative.
This pot cost almost five yuan in cash and a lot of bills.
However, Chen Jianjun didn't spend a single cent. Everything was taken out from the Level 1 farmland space.
The pork and rice were also dropped from the first kill of the hen.
As for the little hen he brought back, it was for Chen Jianjun to eat at night.
For the construction team, this lunch was already quite extravagant.
Under normal circumstances, if they did not have lunch, they would only be compensated with ten cents.
Nine people only cost 90 cents.
This pot of salted rice and vegetable egg soup added up to a total of five yuan. If the ticket was included, the value would be even higher.
The fragrance of the savory rice spread throughout the backyard along with the curling smoke.
The workers who were busy and some people who were watching the show in the backyard could not help but swallow their saliva.
Salty rice was a kind of big pot rice that only existed in the south, especially in the coastal areas of southern Fujian.
The fragrance was very strong. The key was that there was also a strong fragrance of pork and pork.
At this moment, Chen Jianjun's secret chili sauce was also ready. The chili sauce made by advanced culinary skills was also fragrant.
Many people's stomachs began to rumble.
As for bowls and chopsticks, they didn't need them. The construction team brought their own lunch boxes. If the main family didn't provide food, they could go to the canteen outside to deal with it.
In this era, everyone ate together in the canteen. It didn't matter if they didn't cook every day.
The canteen on the street was very big and provided three meals a day.
However, he knew that the food he ate couldn't be too good.
At the same time, they also needed tickets and money.
Sometimes, it was more cost-effective to cook it himself.
Therefore, most of the time, they ate at home.
After boiling the chili sauce, the next dish was the vegetable egg soup. He used water spinach, a little garlic, a little onion oil, and finally a bowl of egg flower.
Although it was not as fragrant as bone soup or chicken soup, it was more effective in this hot summer.
When the soup was ready, the rice was almost cooked.
Chen Jianjun opened the lid of the pot. The water had been absorbed by the rice, and every grain of rice was full.
Chen Jianjun took out a big shovel and began to turn the rice in the pot. There was a layer of light rice crust below, accompanied by flowing oil and water. The color and taste were perfect.
Then, Chen Jianjun also poured a large bowl of chopped celery and squeezed onions into the pot and stirred them evenly with the rice.
Next, he could start cooking.
The pot was filled to the brim, weighing at least 30 pounds. He brought it to the dining table, along with the soup and a large basin of chili sauce.
Chen Jianjun even prepared some sweet garlic on the table. If there was something that tasted good, he could eat it with garlic.
It was already noon. Jianjun Chen shouted,""Captain Li, tell everyone to rest. It's time for dinner!”
Then, Chen Jianjun took out a big bowl and filled it to the brim. On top of the rice, there were three pieces of fat meat that he had picked out. He poured chili sauce on it and made a bowl of water spinach egg soup. He brought it to the old lady.
The Deaf old lady didn't expect Chen Jianjun to bring rice over.
She had smelled the fragrance long ago. She was already very satisfied after eating a slice of watermelon from Chen Jianjun in the morning.
She was currently steaming cornbread, preparing to deal with it.
The big bowl of fragrant rice in Chen Jianjun's hand was coated with chili oil. It looked especially tempting.
