Chapter 1820: Metal Detector 2
Feng Qingxue knew this would be the result.
Their family meal was relatively good, but who would blame Lu Jiang for often not eating at home when he was busy?
"Since we’re not going out, come with me to buy some vegetables and meat, and let’s see what good stuff is in the grocery store. Xiaoyun sent me money, and I haven’t even used the foreign exchange coupons I received. Let’s also buy some grain and oil on the way back."
If no ingredients were bought, but the house was filled with the aroma of meat, wouldn’t even a fool suspect the source of the meat? Their doorstep wasn’t without people passing by. Previously, Feng Qingxue relied on the strong smell of meat during the festival period when every household was cooking meat to cover it up. Today, she planned to take advantage of the free time to stew some meat to store in her space.
The house was full of winter-stored cabbage and radishes, but apart from that, there were no other vegetables in the store.
Feng Qingxue bought a bunch of preserved vegetables and took out her only "Meat Ticket" to get a pound of premium pork belly.
"Let’s make braised pork with preserved vegetables for lunch!"
This braised pork with preserved vegetables wasn’t just a bowl but a big pot, with dozens of pounds of pork that were stocks from her space. She was generous with the oil and various spices, ensuring that although the quantity was large, it wouldn’t affect the final taste.
While Lu Jiang organized the hundreds of pounds of rice and flour they brought back, he sniffed eagerly, wishing the meal would be ready immediately.
Feng Qingxue chuckled softly and took out a roasted chicken from her space for him, "Have a bite first."
Lu Jiang washed his hands, ripped off a piece of chicken leg, and stuffed it into her mouth, "It’ll be better in a couple of years. This year, they might start a full-scale economic reform, starting with transportation and then production. Although the outcome is uncertain, it will surely be better than before."
Feng Qingxue swallowed the meat in her mouth and said, "The effect is negligible. It will take a few more years before it really gets going."
