Chapter 573 This Marriage Is Secure
With wine and meat, there is no need to say much about the quality of this meal.
Matchmaker Aunt Wang was so happy that the wrinkles on her face were a little thicker than usual.
At this time, there are many people who are willing to eat meat, but it is very rare to buy meat and not use it to stew dishes.
Just like the braised pork on the table, a full plate weighs at least one pound.
If this much meat is used to stew, it will be enough for the whole family to eat for several meals. The fat in it can also be used to make some pork. It would be too luxurious to just use it to make braised pork. Most families would not dare to eat it like this.
When the meal started, Aunt Wang started to eat the braised pork.
The meat was so substantial, big in size and looked great that Aunt Wang couldn't help but tremble as she put it in her mouth.
She didn't know how to describe the taste, but it was definitely better than any braised pork she had ever eaten in her life.
Yu Li, Yu Haitang and Aunt Wang all tried a piece of braised pork first.
The girl Yu Haitang didn't think so much. After taking a bite, she said it was delicious several times, and then she went back to eating.
Yu Li no longer had the energy to care about this embarrassing sister. After she took a few bites of the braised pork, she looked at Yan Jiecheng with a somewhat dull look in her eyes.
After more than half a year of blind dating and meeting at least a dozen men, she finally found her treasure today. Although Yan Jiecheng is a few years younger than her, he has a decent job and can earn dozens of yuan a month.
And he is also a first-rate cook. The braised pork and spare ribs are so delicious!
Although Yu Li had never eaten braised pork in a restaurant, she felt that this was the best a restaurant could offer. With Yan Jiecheng's skills, even if he didn't have a job in a steel mill, he could easily find a job in a restaurant to support his family.
Apart from some shortcomings in appearance, Yu Li felt that it was quite good for her to find a man like this as her partner.
"Come on, let's go!"
Aunt Wang's face was flushed with joy as she ate, and she had already started to raise her glass to toast others.
Yan Bugui was also very happy, feeling that his son's finding a partner had been settled.
Everyone at the table was eating happily, but the residents in the courtyard were a little confused.
What's going on?
Isn’t the eldest son of the Yan family going on a blind date today? Why hasn’t it ended yet?
The normal process of a blind date these days is that a matchmaker brings people over, they meet and chat for a few minutes and then leave. If it works out, they continue to contact each other, otherwise forget it.
But something was not normal in the Yan family. Not only did the matchmaker not leave, but it sounded like she was drinking.
But this is not the point. The point is that the smell coming from the house is a little wrong.
It smells so good, it’s a bit outrageous.
We have been neighbors for many years, and we know exactly which family’s cooking is delicious and which family’s cooking is average.
The old ladies in the courtyard know very well how the third aunt cooks.
I can only say that it's just average, and it's been the same for decades.
"There's the aroma of stewed meat and chicken. Old Yan's family made at least two meat dishes!"
An old lady who lived in the front yard closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and expressed her guess.
An old lady holding her child in the sun couldn't help but say, "There should be a dish of braised pork. It tastes even better than what Sha Zhu made."
The other two women looked at them in surprise.
"No, you can smell it too?"
It is not difficult to smell the aroma of meat. After all, the aroma of stewed meat is different from the taste of stewed vegetables. It may be difficult to tell which specific dish it is.
The aunt smiled when she heard this and didn't explain further.
Before He Daqing ran away, he had to cook braised pork every month. He became familiar with it after smelling it so many times.
Yan Bugui’s family must be making braised pork, and his cooking skills are better than those of He Daqing and Sha Zhu.
"Third Auntie doesn't have this skill, right?"
"It's definitely not her. She even adds water when cooking. Everything she cooks tastes the same."
"It can't be Uncle Three, I've never seen him cook!"
Nowadays, it is usually women who do the laundry and cooking, while men are responsible for supporting the family.
Therefore, the third uncle Yan Bugui, who is a teacher, can only go into the kitchen a few times a year, let alone cook.
"Could it be Yan Jiecheng? That guy followed Chen Jun to set up a stall before, and they were very close. Did Chen Jun teach him a few tricks?"
"Well, it's possible. Chen Jun has won the championship in a cooking competition. His cooking skills are beyond doubt. Just teaching Yan a few tricks will be enough for him."
"Tsk, Yan Jiecheng looks honest at ordinary times, but he is actually quite active inside. He knows how to show off his skills in front of his blind date. It seems that he has fallen in love with the girl."
As soon as these words were spoken, all the aunts present burst into laughter.
At their age, watching younger people go on blind dates is just like watching a show.
But after he laughed a few times, the door of Jia's house was slammed open.
Before anyone saw it, curses floated out of the house.
"What a damn thing! It smells so good, but it makes people live? Eat, eat, eat, all you know is to eat. Why don't you send some to my house?"
"You are so heartless. Even if you get married, you will never be able to have children!"
When they said the second sentence, the aunts saw Jia Zhang coming out of the house.
This Jia Zhang was deliberately trying to disgust the old lady, and the second sentence was shouted at her.
After the commotion yesterday, Jia Zhang went home and cursed all night long. She was so angry that she wanted to hang herself in front of Yi Zhonghai's house.
The next morning, she was so angry that she ran to the street office to report that Yi Zhonghai had a mistress.
The result is that you said that I adopted a child properly, but you said that I was raising a concubine? Jia Zhang was severely scolded by Director Wang and came back in disgrace. He warned her that if she continued to make trouble, she would be punished to clean the entire alley.
I went home to catch up on some sleep, but was woken up by the delicious smell from my third uncle's house. I felt so uncomfortable.
But the lady who was implied was not angry at all.
So what if I can’t have children?
It's also a blessing to be a mother without any pain, right?
As long as you take good care of the locust flowers, what’s the difference between that and growing them yourself?
The current aunt is too lazy to argue with Jia Zhang.
Jia Zhang, who had punched like a piece of cotton, immediately started cursing. This time, he not only directed his anger at the middle-aged woman, but also launched indiscriminate attacks on the other middle-aged women.
Got it!
When the aunts saw that Jia Zhang was starting to act up again, they decided not to argue with her and picked up their own stools to go back home.
"Let's go, let's go. Someone got up early and didn't brush his teeth. It's so smelly."
"Hey, go home and lie down for a while."
By around one o'clock in the afternoon, the matchmaker Aunt Wang had eaten and drunk her fill and was ready to leave.
Although she was a woman, her alcohol tolerance was quite good. She drank half a bottle of white wine by herself and was on par with the third uncle.
Of course, the dishes on the table were also eaten in moderation. The braised pork, stewed spare ribs, and braised chicken nuggets were all eaten up.
