Chapter 355 Dong Lai Shun Shabu Shabu

Chapter 355 Donglaishun Hotpot

Jiang Bo looked around and saw that the house was kept really clean by Aunt Yi.

Even under the bed was kept spotless.

"Jiang Bo, you're back so early today?"

Hearing the noise, Aunt Yi came out of the kitchen with a rag in her hand and sweat all over her head.

This really took a lot of effort.

"Aunt Yi, you cleaned it up so neatly."

"Stop busying yourself, sit down and take a rest!"

Aunt Yi raised her hand and wiped the sweat from her forehead with her sleeve:

"Do not worry about it."

Aunt Yi has always loved cleanliness and used to clean and wash constantly at home.

When serving the deaf old lady, I also have to cook for her, clean the dishes, and prepare water for her feet, which are even more trivial tasks.

"Jiang Bo, why did you come back so early today?"

Aunt Yi looked at the sun outside and decided it was definitely not time to get off work yet.

"I did some work outside and came back on the way."

Aunt Yi nodded and said:

"Then you rest in the house for a while. I'll go clean the kitchen and cook."

Jiang Bo called her:

"Aunt Zheng, stop busying yourself. This room is clean enough."

"You've been busy all day today. You've worked hard. Let's not cook dinner tonight. When Xiaoyun and the others come back, we'll go out to eat."

Aunt Yi waved her hand:

"I won't go. You guys go eat, I'll just go back and have a bite."

After saying that, she took off her apron, turned around and walked out.

"do not!"

Jiang Bo quickly grabbed her.

"I don't care what other families do. The rule in my family is that as long as you make contributions to the family, you have to sit at the table and eat well."

"Today, you have made the greatest contribution. It would be a shame if we didn't go out to eat and leave you alone at home with a cold stove."

"Go! I won't do it unless you go!"

There's something damp in the corners of Aunt Yi's eyes.

When she was serving the deaf old lady, sometimes when the old lady's family bought fish or meat, she would just cook them and she would never eat them.

"Don't just stand there, Aunt Zheng. Go change your clothes. I'll be waiting for you in the yard."

"Okay! Then I'll go wash my face."

Aunt Yi went to the yard to wash her face under the faucet, then went home and changed into a brand new tweed coat.

Aunt Yi has been married into this family for so many years, but this is the first time she has talked about going out for a meal.

So she rummaged through the closet and found this set of clothes.

She has always been reluctant to wear this woolen coat. Although it has been made for a long time, it still looks very new.

The people in the yard saw Aunt Yi dressed neatly and asked curiously:

"Are you going out?"

"Ah, I'm going out to do something."

Aunt Yi spoke vaguely.

People in the yard were gossiping a lot, and she didn't want others to know that the Jiang family was going out for dinner.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Bo didn't care. When he saw Aunt Yi coming over, he asked directly:

"Auntie Zheng, can you eat mutton? If you can, let's go to Donglaishun."

"It's getting cold, this is perfect for eating."

Aunt Yi nodded.

She reached out and touched the curtains and clothes that she had washed that morning.

"Jiang Bo, we still have to wait for Xiao Yun and the others. This is a good opportunity for me to put the clothes in."

After saying that, he started to collect the clothes quickly.

Jiang Bo sighed, this Aunt Yi is really not idle at all.

At this time, a shameless aunt came over and asked:

"Jiang Bo, are you going to treat Zheng Guilan to a meal?"

"Ah."

Jiang Bo nodded.

"She works as a helper in your house. How much do you pay her per month?"

Now, everyone is eyeing Aunt Yi's job.

Even Jia Zhang came over and said:

"Jiang Bo, you're looking for help? If you had told me earlier, I would be able to do the job."

"I don't need you to treat me to a meal, just give me the restaurant bill."

……

"Aunt Jia, I'm so sorry."

"This guy is different from everyone else. If it were you, I wouldn't even invite you even if you gave me money."

"I'm inviting thieves into my house."

Everyone in the yard burst into laughter.

Jia Zhang was humiliated in public and was so angry that she gritted her teeth.

"Bah! You thought I was willing to go!"

"I have a wife to serve me at home, who cares about your trifles? Pah! Don't you agree?"

Jia Zhang tried to unite the other aunts in the courtyard to join in the fight.

But others quickly waved their hands:

"Aunt Jia, this is what you said, we didn't say that."

"Jiang Bo, if your family needs help, just come to me. I'm very efficient at work."

"As for me, our wages are negotiable."

Yu Li also came over at this time and said:

"Jiang Bo, I'm free at home right now. If Aunt Yi is too busy, I'd like to go over and help."

After she said this, more young wives volunteered to come to the Jiang family to help.

When Ye Xiaoyun came back, this was the lively scene she saw.

Jiang Bo talked for a while and told everyone that Aunt Yi was enough for now, and promised to notify everyone if anyone was needed to help.

After a while, Bai Wei also came back.

The four of us set out together.

Walking to a busy neighborhood, several people stopped in front of Donglaishun.

Although Aunt Yi had gone out before, it was always during the day and rarely in the evening.

This was her first time to eat out at a restaurant, especially one as big as Donglaishun.

She was a little nervous and subconsciously stretched the hem of her clothes.

Jiang Bo chose a private seat by the window on the second floor. After he sat down, the waiter brought him a copper pot.

At that time, spicy hot pot was not popular in the northern city. Shabu-shabu mutton was cooked in a large copper pot with charcoal fire in the pot.

The bottom of the pot is just water, with green onion, ginger and wolfberry added, it is very refreshing.

Then, the waiter served everyone a bowl of sesame sauce, and then placed leeks, fermented tofu, coriander, chopped green onions and minced garlic on the table.

The last thing served was a bowl of freshly fried chili oil.

The chili oil on top was still bubbling.

After a while, the pot boiled.

The brass hot pot was bubbling with steam.

The waiter brought the meat.

Jiang Bo took a look and saw that at that time there was no frozen meat that was cut into rolls by machines. It was all fresh mutton cut by hand.

The chef's knife skills are amazing, and the meat slices are as thin as a cicada's wing.

Jiang Bo stood the plate up, but the mutton didn't move at all.

"Eat the meat first."

Jiang Bo waved his hand and swept the entire plate in.

Aunt Yi glanced at the menu secretly.

Oh my God, this plate of meat costs five dollars!

This is enough for her to make a confinement box and wash clothes for a month.

The waiter brought winter melon, potatoes, cabbage and vermicelli.

People of this era generally lack oil in their stomachs, so Jiang Bo specifically asked for argali tail oil.

The mutton slices are fat and lean, and dipped in a layer of rich sesame sauce, it is really satisfying.

Bai Wei was afraid that Aunt Yi would not be able to let go, so she kept picking up meat for her.

In the end, all four of them had their bellies full.

……

Liu Haizhongjia.

The whole family also gathered at the table to eat dinner.

Although Liu Haizhong's salary is not low, there are many mouths to feed at home.

Moreover, he also subsidized his eldest boss Liu Guangqi who lived far away in Baoding, and sent him money every month.

The Liu family’s dinner was also simple.

The second aunt cooked a very thin millet porridge and steamed an eggplant, seasoned it with garlic salt, and ate it with cornmeal steamed bread.

The two children of the Liu family ate without even looking up.
