Chapter 186: A Part of Understanding, Part of Forgiveness
After buying a bicycle in the morning, Shen Lin didn't go out. He tried hard to think about the styles of shops in his previous life that looked high-end, but didn't cost a lot of money.
One by one, drawings that were not very pretty, but were extremely clear, appeared on the table. As these things were outlined, Shen Lin felt that his confidence was getting stronger and stronger.
As long as you get these things started, you will be able to recover the cost very quickly.
As the sky gradually darkened, Shen Lin packed up a fish he had collected from the door of the butcher shop in the morning.
This was a grass carp weighing five or six kilograms, which cost Shen Lin two yuan. After discovering that Lu Xiaorong could eat spicy food better, Shen Lin started to cook one fish for two. The fish meat was used for boiling. Fish. The fish head is stewed with half a piece of tofu.
It still takes a lot of effort to cook boiled fish well. Shen Lin handled every detail meticulously.
For example, Shen Lin does not cook fish fillets in water, but uses fish bones to cook white soup.
Another example is when dealing with one of the side dishes, tofu. Shen Lin does not use a knife to cut it. He breaks it piece by piece with his hands, which is more delicious than cutting it.
Just cook the fish fillets, fish bones, fish soup, and fish fillets in the soup, put them all on a plate, pour them on the prepared side dishes, then sprinkle the fish fillets with dried chili, Sichuan peppercorns, and sesame seeds, and heat the oil in a separate pot. When it was hot enough and green smoke was coming out, Shen Lin used a small spoon to put a little bit on the chili peppers and try it. Only if you can hear a sizzling sound, but it should not be overheated, as a bitter taste will appear and the chili peppers will be burnt.
There is another small detail. In order to make his wife eat healthier, Shen Lin also controls the amount of oil just right. He only pours a thin layer on the surface, but it still looks oily, and every piece of fish tastes like it. With chili oil, it is fragrant and spicy, and does not affect the taste at all. However, the amount of oil has been greatly reduced, and you can even drink the fish soup with oil base.
Shen Lin did every step to the extreme. In just half an hour, the corridor was filled with fragrance.
Lu Xiaorong walked home slowly. Before he got home, he met his landlord Aunt Chen.
In Lu Xiaorong's opinion, Aunt Chen is quite a good person, especially to herself, that's even worse.
"Xiao Rong is back!" Aunt Chen was holding a basin, looking like she was going to do something.
Lu Xiaorong smiled and said: "Hello, aunt, I just got off work."
"Oh my dear, your Shen Lin is cooking up some delicious food!" At this point, Aunt Chen hesitated and said, "My dear, what I said may sound a bit too much to you."
"Auntie, you have always taken good care of me and Shen Lin. If you have any questions, just ask." Although Lu Xiaorong didn't know what Aunt Chen was going to say, she immediately expressed her stance when it was time to express it.
Aunt Chen hesitated and said, "Xiao Rong, I know Shen Lin has made money, but this person must have a long-term plan."
"As the old saying goes, this person is poor because he has no food and clothing, but he is poor because he doesn't know how to calculate!"
"Although you young people have money, you can't eat and drink so much. Good steel must be used on the blade, such as buying some large and practical items."
"Look at your kid, he still walks to work. Save your money and buy a bicycle."
Listening to Aunt Chen's nagging, Lu Xiaorong didn't think there was anything wrong. She even felt that the nagging was quite friendly.
"Thank you, auntie. I'll tell him when I get home!"
After bidding farewell to Aunt Chen, Lu Xiaorong came upstairs. Before he could go upstairs, a tangy fragrance came from upstairs.
This delicious fragrance comes from my own home.
The stewed eggplant I ate in the factory cafeteria at noon, the clear soup was watery, the taste... These days, my appetite has been spoiled by Shen Lin. I never found the stewed eggplant so unpalatable before, but today I actually find it difficult to eat it. pharynx……
Just when Lu Xiaorong couldn't wait to go upstairs, she suddenly saw a women's Phoenix bicycle parked at the entrance of the corridor.
The bike is very beautiful and the color is exactly what she likes.
If you ride this bike to work, you will not only attract people's attention, but you will also feel much more relaxed.
It seems that after this meal, I have to persuade Shen Lin not to waste all his money on eating in the future, but to save up and buy something big.
Aunt Chen's words still make sense.
"Hey, my wife is back. Go wash your hands quickly. The fish head and tofu soup will be ready in a while."
Lu Xiaorong, who felt his stomach growling, ignored the determination he had just made and quickly washed his hands, his eyes falling on the pot of boiled fish.
Lu Xiaorong eagerly took the chopsticks handed over by Shen Lin and stuffed a piece of fish fillet into his mouth. Lu Xiaorong felt very satisfied.
"It's delicious. Your cooking skills are so good!"
Although Shen Lin was used to eating boiled fish in his previous life, it was a previous life after all, and artificially cultured fish could not be compared with wild fish.
Seeing that Lu Xiaorong was eating happily, he asked: "How is today's manuscript?"
"Husband, those two sentences of yours are the finishing touch. Even Leng Qingguang himself said that the quality of the entire manuscript has been greatly improved!"
Lu Xiaorong described it with joy while eating: "He praised me, saying that without ten years of literary skills, I wouldn't be able to write such words and sentences!"
"He also said that he wants me to help him more in the future and review his manuscripts."
When Lu Xiaorong said this, he picked up a piece of fish and said, "By the way, our webmaster said that Director Li also praised these two sentences very much."
"Really? That's great! Wife, please eat more!" Shen Lin was not surprised by the impact of these two sentences. After all, this is something that has been tested many times.
Lu Xiaorong had eaten to his heart's content, and suddenly remembered Aunt Chen's advice, and said hesitantly: "Shen Lin, I just met Aunt Chen, and she gave me some advice. I think what she said is quite right."
"Aunt Chen said we shouldn't waste all our money on food and drink. She thought we should save our money to buy some big things. If you think about it carefully, it makes sense."
Seeing Lu Xiaorong's serious look, Shen Lin nodded repeatedly and said, "Okay, listen to my wife!"
"Daughter-in-law, I came to have dinner, but there is something I forgot to tell you. I bought you a Phoenix bicycle this morning and put it at the entrance of our corridor. After dinner, you go over and take a look."
"You said the Phoenix bicycle at the entrance of the corridor belongs to me?" Lu Xiaorong was surprised and happy.
"Where did you get the bicycle ticket?" Lu Xiaorong quickly thought of a key question.
"I bought it from someone else. Now that more bicycles are produced, bicycle tickets are not so expensive."
"You know how to spend money randomly. If I work for half a year, I can get a bicycle ticket..." Although Lu Xiaorong blamed him, he was sweet in his heart.
After eating most of the boiled fish, Shen Lin took two sips of the soup and then said, "Daughter-in-law, I have something to discuss with you."
"What's the matter?" Lu Xiaorong saw Shen Lin's seriousness and put down his chopsticks.
"I need to use our money to rent the warehouse of the Second Match Factory."
Lu Xiaorong pondered for a moment and then asked a little uneasily: "Do you want to use them all?"
"Yes, I plan to build a pedestrian street, so it will cost more." Shen Lin said.
Lu Xiaorong pondered for a while and muttered: "Can you use it less?"
