Chapter 13 I'll Pay Today

I worked two hours after dinner and got a hundred dollars in tips.

Jiang Yu is happy that she has made some money today, so she will make some braised pork! My brother wants to eat it.

Zheng Xiu cooked a full rice cooker of rice, and the braised pork had to go with the rice.

Jiang Yu felt that the tray was a little small because the pot and the big bowl of braised pork were a bit crowded on it.

Jiang Jin was thinking about the braised pork. Seeing the sun climbing up to the top of her head, she stood in the yard and looked at the kitchen. When she heard some movement in the kitchen, she immediately ran in, "Sister, is the rice delicious?"

"Yes, rice."

Walking out of the kitchen, Jiang Yu was very satisfied to see his grandfather basking in the sun in the yard again. Isn't the old man just basking in the sun waiting for his family to call him for dinner?

Jiang Yu reported two tips today and lied that she had practiced qigong.

Sister Xiu has already told her what qigong is. After listening to it, she also thinks that those who dream of being a martial arts hero are crazy. Can the kung fu that can be practiced by men, women, young and old be real kung fu?
Grandpa Jiang ate and listened, "Qigong should be internal strength. Internal strength does exist, but you need to learn from a master, serve the master for your whole life, and work hard for the master and the sect."

"Do we have any at home?"

Jiang Jin was fascinated by what he heard. He was not as strong as his sister, but if he had internal energy...

Grandpa Jiang glanced at his grandson and said, "The only thing you can learn is the muscle-regulating technique that has been passed down in the Jiang family."

Jiang Jin lowered his head to eat, but he refused to learn. He touched people's bones and pulled their tendons, but he was not allowed to use them after learning. What was the point of learning? To groom the dogs in the village like my sister did?
……

As soon as Jiang Yu appeared in 502, Zheng Xiu urged her, "Hurry up, go to the supermarket to restock."

Jiang Yu came out after washing up, "I'll pay for today."

"Row."

Zheng Xiu also wanted to change Jiang Yu's stingy personality.

The entrance of the supermarket was close to the condiments, so the two bought some first.

Pushing the shopping cart, Jiang Yu followed Zheng Xiu in selecting condiments and listened to Zheng Xiu talk about the uses of various condiments.

As the shopping cart passed the condiment shelf, we met some acquaintances, a young customer and his friend.

Rong Zhiwei waved to Jiang Yu and Zheng Xiu, "Ayu, Sister Xiu."

Zheng Xiu raised her eyebrows and looked at Jiang Yu, her eyes full of gossip.

Jiang Yu was also confused. How did the young guest know her name?
Wu Jiannong pushed Rong Zhiwei closer to the two of them, "Two beautiful ladies, what a coincidence!"

Seeing that Sister Xiu was still looking at him, Jiang Yu explained, "Guest."

It turned out to be a guest.

Zheng Xiu asked with a smile, "We all use numbers in the store, how did you know Ayu's name?"

Rong Zhiwei was a little shy, "I heard you call her that."

Jiang Yu glanced at Zheng Xiu.

"Hey, next time, I will remember to call 110."

After saying that, Zheng Xiu couldn't help laughing, "Hahaha, who told you to choose this number?"

Jiang Yu: "..."

Didn't Sister Xiu tell her that 110 is the official number for police officers? She also told her to memorize 110, 119, 120, and other official numbers?

Jiang Yu was too lazy to pay attention to Sister Xiu, who had a low sense of humor, and turned to Rong Zhiwei and said, "I won't bother you two anymore."

Wu Jiannong invited, "Since we are so destined to meet, why don't you invite the two beauties to have a meal together?"

They have been following each other for so long and finally met each other reasonably. They can't miss the opportunity.

"No time, not any day from now on."

Jiang Yu refused straightforwardly and walked away with the shopping cart.

Zheng Xiu jogged to catch up, but she was not as fast as Jiang Yu's long legs.

Seeing the spare ribs, Zheng Xiu wanted to make soup, but Jiang Yu reminded her that there was not enough time.

"Then stew it."

Jiang Yu agreed and cut down ten of them.

Passing by the seafood area, Zheng Xiu wanted to eat fish again.

Jiang Yu thought it was too expensive, "I'll ask my brother to get it for you." "Okay!"

Zheng Xiu was very happy. The river water in ancient times was pollution-free. "Both big and small fish can be caught."

Jiang Yu remembered that Sister Xiu liked to eat fish, no matter how big or small.

With Jiang Yu, he was not afraid of heavy things, so he bought 20 kilograms of rice and flour, plus spare ribs and other miscellaneous items, weighing several dozen kilograms.

Jiang Yu spent more than a hundred yuan, and he paid very straightforwardly without showing a trace of heartache.

It was already past eleven when they returned to Room 502, and the two of them quickly divided the work.

After the ribs were stewed, Zheng Xiu took a bowl to the cafeteria to get food, while Jiang Yu cut potato shreds at home.

After bringing back half a bowl of rice, Zheng Xiu smiled and teased Jiang Yu, "Ayu, I think you should change to a lunch box. This bowl of mine is more suitable for you."

Jiang Yu rolled his eyes at her.

Zheng Xiu put down the rice bowl and said, "You still haven't told me what happened to those two guests?"

Jiang Yu was confused, "Guests are guests, what else can happen?"

"But I think that guest is interested in you."

"What do you mean?"

"I just like you."

"Sister Xiu."

Jiang Yu looked disgusted and said, "The one who invited us to dinner might be a slut."

Jiang Yu told Zheng Xiu about the young man's friend's reaction during the massage, "I didn't even dare to use force. His groans were louder than those of the village dogs. He must be mentally ill."

Zheng Xiu: "..."

"You, you won't use the village dogs as targets, right?"

"if not?"

Jiang Yu picked up the pot and put it on the stove. "How do you think I learned the muscle-regulating technique?"

Zheng Xiu: "..."

If I had known this, I would not have experienced this girl's technique. I don't know if this girl imagined her as a dog when she was pressing her.

Pooh!
I am a peerless beauty, absolutely not comparable to those Chinese native dogs in the village.

She reached out and pressed the switch to light the fire. "Put a small amount of oil in, add a pinch of Sichuan peppercorns and stir-fry until they change color. Scrape out the remaining oil, add the shredded potatoes and stir-fry. When every shredded potato changes color, add salt, stir-fry a few more times, and pour vinegar."

Jiang Yu did it methodically, as if he had done it countless times. Zheng Xiu was secretly happy that she had picked up a treasure.

When the ribs are cooked, add the scallions and serve.

Meimei ate the stewed pork ribs she had been craving for, and Zheng Xiu looked very satisfied. "It's the taste of my hometown. What I cook always lacks something."

Jiang Yu ate seriously. She felt that everything she ate here was delicious. Why did Sister Xiu worry about the taste? As long as she could eat enough, it was fine.

……

Jiang Yu worked two hours a day.

After get off work in the evening, Zheng Xiu taught Jiang Yu how to soak vermicelli, added it to the spare ribs left over from lunch, and cooked another pot of rice.

"Remember to tell your brother to catch some fish when you go back. If you want to eat anything in the future, just prepare it here and bring it back. I can also have a midnight snack."

Jiang Jin was chewing on the ribs and said that he would go get them in the afternoon so that his sister could bring them over in the evening. "No wonder people buy ribs over there. It turns out there is so much meat on the ribs."

Grandpa Jiang had some difficulty chewing the spareribs. He ate vermicelli and said, "This is good food. It can be eaten as a meal just like noodles. Xiaoyu, you can't always take advantage of Sister Xiu."

"I paid for it."

Jiang Yu raised her chin and said, "I spent more than a hundred yuan today. When I have more money, I will take care of Sister Xiu more."

She took out her temporary ID card and photo. "Look, this is the pass that Sister Xiu helped me get. This is the photo. The official pass needs to have a photo attached to it."

"Wow!"

Jiang Jin saw the small photo at a glance, "Which artist is so good? Can he draw such a small... uh, why only draw human heads?"
