Return to the era: starting from the state-owned hotel

Chapter 19 Pregnant Sister-in-law
In the back kitchen, braised pork is simmering over low heat.

With the sound of gurgling bubbles, a strong fragrance hit your nose.

But Han Zhiming, the cadre in Chinese tunic suit, frowned instead.

Is it his delusion?

Why does he always feel that today's braised pork seems a little worse than last time?
But he lowered his head, looked at his expectant mother, and swallowed the questions that came to his throat.

Forget it.

Just try it later.

Han Zhiming came a little late, and the braised pork was time-consuming to cook.

Li Gen was also considerate, knowing that the old lady was old and had bad teeth, so he simmered it for 15 more minutes until it was soft and sweet, and then brought it out.

The old lady picked up a piece of braised pork, put it in her mouth expectantly, and chewed it slowly. As she ate, the smile on her face slowly faded.

She turned back, looked at Li Gen, and said tactfully, "Master Li, have you been in poor health recently? How come this taste is different from the last time I tasted it?"

Li Gen, who was waiting for compliments from diners and even fantasized about being valued by his boss and making further progress in his career, felt as if he had been poured cold water on him.

He was stunned for a while, and then he uttered one word in disbelief: "What?"

He has also tasted this braised pork dish, and it can be said that it is an extraordinary performance. The sweet and salty taste is just right, and he is extremely satisfied.

But...even so, this old lady is not satisfied?
Isn't this just to find fault?
Faced with this situation, even though Li Gen knew that the old lady was the boss's mother, he softened his tone and said, "Old lady, everyone has different tastes. If you don't like it, it doesn't mean that others don't like it."

As a seventh-level chef with a monthly salary of [-], Li Gen is enough to be proud of most of the working class.

Therefore, he also has his own arrogance!

Unexpectedly, instead of being angry, the old lady looked at him inexplicably, "Who said he doesn't like it? Who doesn't like eating meat these days? I'm just saying that this braised pork is not as delicious as last time."

Li Gen felt like another arrow had been hit in his heart.

He even began to doubt himself, was the pot of braised pork he cooked a few days ago really so delicious?
Their eyes met, and the atmosphere fell into awkwardness.

Lin Mingliang walked out with a wink at this time.

He put a dusty towel on his shoulders, hunched over, came to everyone, and said with a smile, "Of course the master's skill in making braised pork is not bad, but we have a new chef Xiao Su in the back kitchen recently, so His cooking skills are also pretty good.”

"Master Xiao Su?"

Han Zhiming raised his eyebrows. Seeing Lin Mingliang and Li Gen's slightly embarrassed expressions, he already had the answer in his heart.

I'm afraid the braised pork he got that day was not made by Li Gen, but by the new and unknown Master Su.

When they called that person, they added the word "小" in front of it. I guess Master Su was not very old.

Now, Han Zhiming was a little curious about Master Xiao Su.

He took out a box of Parrot cigarettes, took out two cigarettes, and handed them to Li Gen and Lin Mingliang respectively.

Li Gen was fine, but Lin Mingliang was a little flattered.

He is just a small cook, but he can get Parrot cigarettes. I heard that these cigarettes come with filters and cost three cents a pack.

Lin Mingliang put the cigarette behind his ear happily.

Han Zhiming took this opportunity to quietly inquire about Su Qingfeng's origins.

……

"Hey, brother and sister, the autumn season hasn't passed yet. It's very hot in front of the stove. You can go out and cool down. My sister-in-law and I are here!"

"Hey, brother and sister, where do you need to cut the pig grass for feeding the pigs? Before going to work later, I asked Zhao Di to cut a basket and come back, making sure to feed the pigs fat. Did you hear that, Zhao Di Di!" Early in the morning.

The entire Su family courtyard was filled with Feng Sufen's loud voice.

As soon as Feng Sufen finished speaking, Su Zhaodi heard it.

She immediately responded loudly, but Feng Sufen was a little confused.

Her face froze for a moment, and then she spat hard in her heart.

Zhaodi, this damn girl, usually drags her feet when asked to do work, but in the end she is very motivated when she is asked to work for others.

People who don't know, think that Bai Jing is her biological mother!

Su Zhaodi didn't think that much.

Before the fourth brother had a job, the food conditions at home were not good, and Feng Sufen always liked to snatch food from their bowls, so they were half-starved all year round.

It can be said that if it weren't for Bai Jing's help from time to time, either a sweet potato or a handful of broken rice, it would be really difficult for them to survive until this point.

She was afraid that she would be sold by her mother during the lean years.

It is precisely because of this that Zhao Di has a very high impression of Bai Jing, and she also takes good care of Su Qingfeng.

Early in the morning, the small courtyard was filled with Feng Sufen's voice.

Even the eldest daughter-in-law couldn't bear to listen.

Feng Sufen is such a shameless girl. For that dollar, she wanted to lick her face and give Bai Jing a blowjob.

In the end, Mrs. Su came out, lowered her voice, and angrily hit Feng Sufen on the forehead:
"What are you yelling about? You only have a mouth and can yell? If you don't have the time to talk nonsense, why not wash the pot and warm the water?"

The old lady was so aggressive that she immediately restrained Feng Sufen.

Finally, before she lifted her feet and left, she murmured softly, "My dear grandson came back so late yesterday and has to go to work later, so he shouldn't get more sleep."

In this family, the old lady is the absolute authority and the one who speaks the truth.

Only others listen to him, and she never considers others.

Even the eldest grandson and youngest son in the family have never enjoyed this kind of treatment.

Now it is considered exclusive to Su Qingfeng.

Feng Sufen didn't know how many times she scolded this biased old woman, but after thinking of the promise of one dollar a month, her resentment automatically subsided.

Pork costs [-] cents per pound. With this dollar, she can carry a pound of pork every month and buy some fruit candies back to her parents' house for her younger brother to eat.

By then, she will be the only one in her mother's family, so I don't know how impressive she will be!
Thinking about it, breakfast was also placed on the table.

The soupy multi-grain porridge, the hard chewy woofou, and a plate of pickles are the family's breakfast.

Facing the breakfast on this table, a group of people ate with great treasure.

They are farmers who face the loess and back to the sky. They know the importance of food better than anyone else. Therefore, even if the cornbread is hard and astringent, they still swallow it carefully and with piety.

At this moment, the door of the big room opened with a creak.

I saw a skinny woman with a sallow complexion and clearly protruding purple blood vessels on her wrists, slowly walking out of the room holding on to her exaggerated waist.

Next to her was Su Yuehua, the eldest son of the Su family, the eldest son of the Su family. He also had a moderate official position, the captain of the village team.

And this woman is his five-month pregnant wife, Xiang Hongying.
