Chapter 79
"Hey." Jiang Dabao responded, and then slowly picked up the water from the kettle.

When passing by Jiang Xue, he smiled obediently at Jiang Xue: "Auntie, I will boil water every day from now on, and I will definitely fill up the kettle."

Seeing this scene, Jiang Xue nodded speechlessly.

Shouldn't copper pots be rare?

Her gaze fell on the neglected copper pot, and she said, "Godmother, shall we have hot pot for dinner?"

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Aunt Jiang looked away from the kettle, and after acknowledging Jiang Xue, she continued to stare at the kettle, as if looking at some rare treasure.

Jiang Xue: "..." I have never seen Godmother caring so much about the jewelry in the wooden box before.

How did she know that for Aunt Jiang, the jewelry in the wooden box could not be exchanged for food and drink in this year, and it would be easy to cause trouble, if she hadn't recognized Jiang Xue as her daughter.

If she didn't think that Jiang Xue should prepare a dowry, and Aunt Jiang knew that Jiang Xue was smart and capable, she would not have given Jiang Xue the jewelry.

But the thermos is different. This thing is so practical, it can be placed in the house aboveboard, and it is also convenient to use. It is not comparable to the jewelry that is easy to cause trouble.

Aunt Jiang also saw a thermos pot when she went to the hospital to pick up work. The body of the thermos pot in the hospital is made of bamboo, and the body of the bottle turns black after a long time of use. Even so, if you want to use it, you have to pay at the payment office. A deposit of two yuan is enough, and the amount is not much.

Therefore, many people have to be hospitalized, and they bring their own kettles.

Seeing other people using it before, Aunt Jiang was only envious, but she didn't expect Jiang Xue to buy it back today, and she bought three of them as soon as she bought it.

The body of the bottle is not made of bamboo, but a stainless steel shell with a silver spout, which is exquisite and beautiful. Mrs. Jiang has been envious of such a thing for so long. How can she not be excited when she has three at home.

While Aunt Jiang and Jiang Dabao were tinkering with the kettle, Jiang Xue was in the kitchen preparing ingredients for the hot pot for dinner.

Boil some bone soup with two big bones, cut Chinese cabbage and potatoes on a plate, a bowl of konjac cubes, a catty of tofu, three taels of sweet potato vermicelli, chop half of a chicken, and take out two catties of fat beef, take out A little crabmeat ~~ great and some meatballs.

I don't know if it's because the wages are paid at the beginning of the month. Every household is looking for local specialties for the New Year, and the food in the neighbors is obviously much better.

From time to time, the smell of hot pot comes from the left, and the smell of marinated sauce comes from the right.

It seems that Jiang Xue's family is quite deserted, only the three of them know that the food is actually not bad, but it is no longer such a big-tasting meal.

Even if she had eaten well for more than a month, Aunt Jiang was still a little dumbfounded when she saw those ingredients when she was eating hot pot for dinner.

"I wanted to make it spicy, but godmother, you can't eat too spicy food, so let's eat clear soup."

Jiang Xue said with a smile: "Clear soup is also very good, freshly boiled bone soup."

The big bones were bought by Jiang Xue and Jiang Dabao at the non-staple food store. There was no meat in the bones, so she didn't need a meat ticket. She bought a bunch of them for a dime, and they were very suitable for making soup, noodles or porridge.

There were exactly two bones left today, which were about ten kilograms, and Jiang Xue used them all.

Seeing that Jiang Xue was so happy, and seeing that she was thinking about her own body, Aunt Jiang was very moved, she couldn't say anything to spoil the fun, she just kept nodding.

Although the dishes of this hot pot meal were simple for Jiang Xue who came from later generations, she was extremely satisfied sitting by the stove in such a cold day and eating the hot hot pot.

For Aunt Jiang and Jiang Dabao, they had never thought about eating like this before.

The three of them naturally ate with round stomachs.

Two days passed in a blink of an eye.

Jiang Xue went out and went to Fang Xiaohong's house with the prepared food.

Five catties of rice, five catties of white flour, and three catties of noodles, which Jiang Xue took out after deliberation.

Fang Xiaohong's family has a lot of people, since it's the preparation for the Chinese New Year, it's better to have more people.

If it wasn't for being afraid of attracting attention, Jiang Xue would probably still have a few more catties.

Appropriately revealing some abilities can make people afraid.

It was almost dinner time, and Aunt Jiang was picking vegetables in the yard. When she saw Jiang Xue coming and carrying something again, she immediately knew what it was, put the vegetable basket on the shelf on the eaves, and warmly greeted Jiang Xue to enter the house.

"Aunt Fang, has Xiaohong gone to work?"

"Yes, their state-run restaurant is busy at this time, so I won't be back until later."

Aunt Fang glanced at Jiang Xue's cloth bag on the table, and thought to herself again, it really came from a big city, isn't this ten catties of fine grain? !

"Sit down quickly." Aunt Fang greeted and washed Jiang Xue's apples.

"Come on, try the apples you just bought yesterday."

There is no ticket for apples, but at [-] cents a catty, ordinary families are reluctant to eat it once a month, especially when the Chinese New Year is coming, it is even more difficult to buy.

Even if many people buy it, they probably buy one or two, and the whole family can eat one petal.

At this time, Aunt Fang gave Jiang Xue one directly, which shows how much she welcomes Jiang Xue.

Not counting the apples, Mrs. Jiang opened the cabinet again, took out three paper bags from inside, and then grabbed a handful from each of them and put them on the tray: "Here, the peanuts and melon seeds I just bought, this is fruit candy, Comrade Jiang , you eat more."

"Aunt Fang, you can just call me Jiang Xue."

"Auntie, don't be so busy, I came here today to bring something for Xiaohong."

This is an obvious statement. After all, it is not good to ask a relationship to buy fine grains, as long as both parties know what is going on.

"Okay, okay, you're welcome, you're welcome."

Aunt Fang smiled happily, and said: "Then don't be polite with Auntie, you and our Xiaohong are good friends, when you come to Auntie's house, you will be your own home, come, eat apples."

"Hey, thank you, Auntie."

Naturally, Jiang Xue would not be polite, otherwise she would seem unfamiliar.

She thanked her with a smile, and took a bite of the apple. It tasted pretty good, but it was not as big as the improved apples of later generations.

When Aunt Fang opened the cloth bag and saw what was inside, her eyes lit up.

Such good food, according to the price that the daughter said when she came back, really took advantage of Jiang Xue.

At this time, Jiang Xue whispered: "Aunt Fang, there are [-] catties in total here, please weigh it."

"No need." Aunt Fang also whispered, "It's not necessary."

Based on the several encounters she had with Jiang Xue, and what she heard from her daughter, Jiang Xue is not the kind of person who will take advantage of others. The thirteen catties of fine grains are so difficult to get, and there will definitely be no less .

"Jiang Xue, you're welcome, just treat it as your own home and eat more apples." She motioned for Jiang Xue to sit down, then turned around and went into the house to get money.

Thirteen catties of fine grain, no food stamps, two yuan per catty, this is already a very discounted price, Aunt Fang knows this, and she also remembers this favor in her heart.
