"Hello, this is your Sahara Express delivery, please sign for it."
At noon that day, Yang Yi went to the villa area's guard and signed for his package. Seeing the Sahara Express courier whose nose was red from the cold in the strong wind, Yang Yi held the package in his left hand and reached out his right hand to shake hands with him. He even praised him, "Thank you for your hard work. The package was delivered in time. I need it!"
The delivery man withdrew his hand and scratched his head in embarrassment. "It has always been our Sahara Express's goal to deliver your package faster, better, and more convenient."
What an official statement. It seemed that after Li Long came to power, these delivery men had indeed undergone strict training.
"Well said, but you have to pay attention to your rest. Your body is the capital of your work and life." Yang Yi patted the other party's shoulder and encouraged him.
After Yang Yi finished speaking, he went back with his package, leaving the delivery man dumbfounded.
Who is this? Why is he so arrogant? Is he a government official?
The delivery man did not know that the person he was delivering the package to was one of his bosses. He thought that Yang Yi was speaking out of habit. After all, the people living in this villa area were either rich or powerful.
The delivery man also did not know that the person who sent the package was his boss.
"This is the spiced vinegar sent by Fu Jun." After Yang Yi returned home, he explained to Mo Fei while opening the package, "He told me about a famous dish in Guangdong Province that is very nourishing for women who are in confinement. It's called pig trotters with ginger vinegar. But to make this dish, you need to use the sweet vinegar produced in Guangdong Province, so I have been waiting for him to buy it and send it to me."
Pig Trotters and Ginger Vinegar was not only suitable for women in confinement, but it was also very nutritious. Therefore, Yang Yi naturally wanted Fu Jun to send him the most authentic spiced vinegar, which was made by the Old Vinegar Workshop and not the assembly line product on the market.
There were twenty bottles of spiced vinegar in the box, which weighed dozens of pounds. It was enough for Yang Yi to use for a month or two.
"Why have I never heard of this dish? I've never seen it in a Cantonese restaurant before. "Murphy asked curiously as she hugged Tong Tong.
"I don't know why not, but maybe it's not worth it …" Yang Yi shrugged and said with a smile, "This dish is very troublesome to cook. It has to be cooked several times, and there are a lot of ingredients added. It's not worth it if it's cheap, but if it's expensive, people won't be willing to eat it."
The traditional method of making pig's trotters with ginger vinegar was really troublesome. They had to start preparing it half a month in advance and boil it for a few hours every day for half a month. When the child was born, they could give it to the pregnant woman.
However, Yang Yi, who only knew about this dish now, could not wait that long. By that time, Murphy would have already passed her confinement period! What's more, after cutting the ginger, you don't need to soak it for a month to have the basic flavor. After cooking, the ginger vinegar pork trotters was still very delicious.
Without further ado, Yang Yi started to get busy at noon in order to let his family taste the "Pig's Trotters with Ginger Vinegar" at night.
In order to make this dish, Yang Yi prepared the ingredients a few days in advance, including buying a potbelly pot that was enough to cook more than ten pounds of food.
The pig's trotters were bought in the morning and were very fresh. They were blanched with boiling water to remove the foam, and then the water was filtered. The meat and ginger were peeled, cut into thick slices, and stir-fried in a wok. The eggs were also boiled and peeled, so that all the ingredients were ready.
All the ingredients, including the sweet vinegar, were put in the potbelly pot to cook. Yang Yi was afraid that it would be too sour, so he added a piece of rock sugar in it. After boiling it on high heat, he turned the heat down and slowly stewed it.
After stewing for a few hours, Yang Yi turned off the heat and let it cool for a while. When he was ready to pick up Xi Xi in the afternoon, he turned the heat on and stewed it a second time.
"Mom, brother, I'm back!" Xi Xi was picked up by her father from kindergarten. After getting out of the car, she shouted happily, not caring whether her mother in the house could hear her or not.
Under the gray sky that was about to fall, a little girl wearing a bright yellow down jacket ran cheerfully to the villa.
The little girl's nose was very sensitive. As soon as she entered the house, she smelled her favorite sour and sweet fragrance!
"Wow! It smells so good! " Xi Xi's eyes suddenly lit up. She didn't have time to look for her mother and Tong Tong to play. She turned her little head and began to search for the source.
Yang Yi was carrying his daughter's schoolbag. Seeing the little girl sniffing left and right like a steamed bun, he found it funny and followed her all the way.
Of course, where else could such an appetizing aroma come from other than the kitchen?
Xi Xi was like a treasure hunter. Finally, she found the source of the smell in the kitchen — a huge potbelly pot!
"Papa, what's this?" The little girl swallowed her saliva, looked back at her father, and asked expectantly.
"This? It's a delicious dish that Uncle Fu Jun recommended to us. It's called Pork Trotters with Vinegar. "Yang Yi smiled and said," Smells good, right? "
The little girl nodded her little head vigorously. Looking at her happy little eyes, it was obvious that she couldn't wait.
"Then let's eat dinner together later!" Yang Yi smiled and rubbed Xi Xi's little head.
During this time, Yang Yi didn't have to worry about dinner. After Xi Xi came back, Dong Yuee and Zheng Shuyi started to prepare dinner. Unless Yang Yi wanted to cook something for Xi Xi or Murphy, he didn't need to cook.
…
At dinner time, except for Yang Huan, who lived in the school, the whole family gathered together to prepare for dinner.
"When you go back, you mainly need to check the account books. You can let Uncle Dong Qi handle the other chores. Since it's a project in the village, it's not suitable for us to get involved too much." Yang Yi gave Xi Xi some food while giving instructions to Yang Qing face to face.
After playing in Jiang City for more than a month, Yang Qing and Zheng Shuyi had to go back early tomorrow.
Because the road from the village to the county had been under construction, Yang Qing, as Yang Yi's representative, had to be present to sign the contract when the workers were paid at the end of the year.
On top of that, it would be the Spring Festival at the end of next month. Before the Spring Festival, there would be many customs to be done, and they couldn't be left alone at home. Yang Chonggui and Dong Yuee were prepared to accompany their grandchildren until the Spring Festival before going back together. Thus, Yang Qing could only trouble himself to go back and take care of things.
When Yang Qing went back, Zheng Shuyi naturally had to go back with him.
It was impolite to interrupt the adults' conversation. Xi Xi anxiously waited for her father and uncle to finish talking. Then she pouted and said to her father, "Papa, where's the pork trotters with vinegar? I want to eat the delicious pork trotters with vinegar! "
Yes! Didn't they say that they could eat the delicious pork trotters with vinegar at dinner time? Why didn't they see it on the dining table?
Xi Xi's mind was filled with the tantalizing sweet and sour smell, but looking at plum blossoms couldn't quench her thirst. She felt that other dishes were tasteless when she looked at them.
"That's sour. You have to eat something first before you can eat that. Otherwise, your stomach will hurt. "Murphy said softly to her daughter.
Although Yang Yi and her parents-in-law were taking care of her, Murphy still couldn't relax. This was because Tong Tong would stick to his mother as long as he was awake.
Perhaps it was because he could only feel at ease when he smelled his mother's milk. If he was hugged by someone else, he would immediately cry. Even if it was Yang Yi, no matter how much he wanted to hug his son, he could only do so after the little guy fell asleep.
Unfortunately, Yang Yi still had to share his time with Tong Tong and Dong Yuee. Especially during the day, if Tong Tong fell asleep, Dong Yuee would rush to carry her grandson to the French windows in the living room to bathe in the warm winter sun. At this time, Yang Yi definitely didn't have the chance to snatch his son away from his mother …
It wasn't that Murphy didn't care about Tong Tong. She was also tired! She had to seize the time and rest while Tong Tong was asleep. She still had to wake up at night to breastfeed and change Tong Tong's diaper!
Fortunately, other than sticking to his mother, Tong Tong was quite obedient. Now, he had gradually formed some habits. Other than crying when he felt insecure when being hugged by someone else, he would only cry when he wanted to drink milk. If he needed to urinate or defecate, he would either not make a sound or only make a few sounds.
Now that Murphy was talking to him, the little guy would look at his mother with his mouth slightly open. He was so cute.
She was really tired and happy!
Xi Xi knew that her mother was working hard, so even though she was a little unhappy, she obediently lowered her head and ate her rice.
Yang Yi gave Xi Xi some fish and her favorite mushrooms. He encouraged her, "Come on, after you finish eating this, I can give you pig trotters to eat!"
"But, but can I eat more?" Xi Xi raised her head and asked with her mouth full.
"Yes, if you like, you can eat today, tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow!" Yang Yi opened his hands and laughed exaggeratedly.
"Really?" The little girl was attracted by the pie her father drew. Her sullen mood suddenly disappeared. She grabbed her chopsticks and asked with a joyful expression.
