Taking advantage of this time, Fei Mi immediately asked Fei Yu what was going on.
How did Jiang Xiao come back alive? How are they going to explain this to Lao Wang tomorrow?
"What are you going to do? The butcher got taken down by Jiang Xiao in a flash."
Fei Yu didn't want to waste time and got straight to the point.
Seconds?
Fei Mi swallowed hard, and it took her a while to process this horrifying information.
Well, although Fei Yu exaggerated a bit, it's pretty much true.
"So, Old Wang and we don't want the family heirloom he's promised us?"
"What do you want! What do you have to offer? Do you think you're more capable than a butcher?"
Fei Mi shook her head, indicating that she did not have that ability.
"That settles it, and besides, Jiang Xiao is extremely, extremely, extremely rich."
Three very strong phrases were used in a row.
"Oh~"
Fei Mi nodded thoughtfully; no wonder they brought back so many ingredients.
"He has at least tens of millions in assets."
I lost it!
‘Bang~’
Fei Mi's cleaver fell to the ground while she was cutting ribs.
isn't it?
This adopted son is actually so rich?
"Get it now? Why do we have to target a guy who's rich, strong, and handsome?"
"Sister is right, it is I who am superficial."
The two sisters made a decision: not only would they treat Jiang Xiao well, but they would also remind Zhenzhen not to mess around with Ai Ai.
Although he wasn't a good person.
However, the two sisters' cooking skills are impeccable.
Femi was in charge of cutting the meat into bone-in pieces.
His knife work was extremely precise.
They always manage to cut the meat into the perfect size for eating.
Moreover, the angle is extremely tricky.
It's not about directly hacking away, but rather using techniques to cut some normally tough pieces of meat into easier-to-eat shapes.
The other three women did the mundane tasks of cleaning and plating.
"You guys go ahead and wash up. I'll go and put the beef bones, pork bones, and hot pot broth into the pot and start simmering."
The bones won't soften if you cook them too long, so the earlier you put them in the pot, the more delicious they'll be later.
"Wash more enoki mushrooms, I love them!"
"There are plenty of enoki mushrooms, but today our main focus is on eating meat!"
"Huh? The price tag for this meat is wrong?"
Beef that costs 1,600 yuan per pound?!
Amidst the shouts and cheers of the crowd, the sumptuous dinner was finally completed.
The rain outside had become quite heavy.
Even indoors, you can hear the 'pitter-patter' of rain and the 'whooshing' sound of the wind rustling through the leaves.
The weather, which is only just beginning to fall, feels like winter has arrived prematurely.
Today, instead of going to the kitchen for dinner, everyone stayed in the warm living room.
Little Zhenzhen even wrapped a blanket around herself.
The TV was showing a melodramatic family drama.
The fragrant broth in the hot pot was bubbling and bubbling.
The rising steam made it impossible for the five people sitting around to see the faces of the people opposite them.
In front of each person were high-end beverages and wheat juice that they would normally be reluctant to drink.
"When cooking, put the meat first, as it takes longer to cook. Then put in some vegetables. By the time we finish the top layer of vegetables, the meat underneath will be fully cooked."
'Sizzle~'
The cold ingredients, once placed into the boiling hot pot, immediately release even more heat and aroma.
"Gulp~" Ai Ai swallowed, her eyes fixed on the hot pot in front of her: "It smells so good! I've forgotten when I last had hot pot."
Yes~
The four women's eyes all became hazy.
Since they came to Guanxi Town a few years ago, let alone hot pot, they have been very careful with their money when it comes to eating out, buying new clothes for the changing seasons, and every other expense.
"呲流~"
Enoki mushrooms cook quickly, and Zhenzhen picked up a piece and popped it into her mouth.
"Hiss! Hah~ It's so hot! Hah~ Hah~"
He was so burned that he stuck out his tongue, and finally managed to eat the enoki mushrooms after taking a sip of his drink.
Then came another bite of spicy and savory beef roll.
The moment the high-quality fatty beef touched Zhenzhen's teeth, it burst into a delicious and rich broth in her mouth!
A lingering fragrance on the lips and teeth~
Wow! My happiness has reached an unprecedented peak at this moment!
With just one bite of enoki mushrooms and sliced beef, Zhenzhen's eyes welled up with tears.
The past few years have been tough for my child!
Chapter 298 Old Wang's Family Heirloom
Only those who have experienced hardship can understand why eating is one of the happiest things in the world.
"Alright, intimate Marseille, I'm going to dig in now!"
The storm outside continued.
Inside, the room was filled with delicious aromas, and everyone was sweating profusely from eating the piping hot hot pot.
The little blanket that Zhenzhen was wrapped in had long since been thrown away.
"Hmm, I wish I could eat hot pot every day, then I wouldn't have to worry about the weather getting cold."
Ai Ai spoke up halfway through her meal.
"Sponge food, eating like this is so satisfying!"
Zhenzhen wiped the sweat from the tip of her nose and then gulped down a large mouthful of wheat juice.
"Speaking of which, sis, it's already the 18th, and the 22nd [Minor Snow] is just around the corner. We need to get our winter clothes and bedding."
Fei Yu rolled her eyes at her younger sister, who was enjoying her meal. Why did she have to bring up something she didn't want to talk about?
Although the cashier waived the bill in the end, those butchers were all individual business owners, and the fresh meat was all cut and paid for on the spot.
Putting everything else aside, those two pounds of beef alone were enough to make Fei Yu feel bad.
Where can you find spare money these days?
"Well, let's see. We're holding up for now. If it really gets too bad, we'll buy a cotton-padded coat and wait until it gets really cold and we have to go out. Then one of us will go out. Otherwise, we'll just stay home."
The three women understood the meaning behind Fei Yu's words; she was essentially saying that she "had no money."
Zhenzhen and Aiai started complaining.
After all, lively and lovely girls like them want to go out and have fun.
They're wearing last year's clothes today, and if they don't upgrade next year, people might laugh at them for not being able to afford new clothes.
Fortunately, children from poor families mature early, and knowing that their family's situation was not good, they didn't say anything.
"Are you short of money to buy clothes? Ask me, I have some."
Jiang Xiao casually tossed a stack of papers onto the table.
Isn't it just money?
Two sacks were completely full, and if needed, he could easily rob—no, I mean, collect some.
