Wang Cuilan and Pei Yang went to the fields while Jiang Ran led Pei Shanshan into the kitchen to get busy.
Pei Jing was still young. As long as he didn't cause trouble, it would be fine. Jiang Ran naturally didn't expect him to do anything.
In order to prevent any accidents from happening to Pei Jing, Jiang Ran moved a small stool and placed it at the entrance of the kitchen for Pei Jing to sit there.
Pei Jing was quite obedient. He wasn't like some children his age who liked to run and jump and couldn't sit still at all.
Jiang Ran looked at the remaining four kilograms of streaky pork. After thinking for a while, he decided to cook them all in the pot.
Pei Shanshan's heart skipped a beat when she saw Jiang Ran's generosity.
However, when she thought of how all the buns were sold out in the morning, she moved her mouth but didn't say anything in the end.
Jiang Ran planned to sell rice and noodles at noon. As for the side dishes, he only planned to make one meat dish and two vegetarian dishes.
The meat dish was steamed pork, and the vegetarian dish was stir-fried shredded potatoes and cold shredded radish.
Whether it was potatoes or radishes, they had a lot of them at home.
The cost of these two dishes was small, but they tasted very good. Coupled with the steamed pork, they would definitely sell well.
With that thought in mind, Jiang Ran asked Pei Shanshan to get the potatoes and radishes.
Jiang Ran was still the one who did all the work.
It wasn't that Jiang Ran felt sorry for Pei Shanshan and didn't want her to do more work.
It was just that Pei Shanshan's knife skills weren't very good. The shredded potatoes weren't thin enough, and the thickness was different. They didn't look good.
Although Jiang Ran didn't say this out loud, Pei Shanshan vaguely felt it.
Pei Shanshan felt a little wronged after being despised.
However, after seeing the shredded potatoes that Jiang Ran cut, that little bit of grievance instantly disappeared.
The shredded potatoes that Jiang Ran cut were of the same thickness, as if they had been measured beforehand.
Jiang Ran cut very quickly. It didn't take long for the potatoes and radishes to be cut.
The shredded potatoes were soaked in water. This could remove the excess starch, make the texture crisper, and prevent the shredded potatoes from turning black.
A little salt was added to the shredded radishes to remove the water.
After all this work, the streaky pork in the pot was almost done cooking.
Jiang fished the meat out, drained it, and cut it into square slices of meat that were as thick as a finger.
The meat that was cut was placed neatly on a plate.. and it was mixed with the sauce she specially made. Finally, it was steamed in the pot...
Fortunately, the plates at home were relatively large, and Jiang Ran did not put any other side dishes. A plate was tight enough to hold ten slices.
The slices of meat were very big. One jin of meat could only be cut into twelve slices.
There was a total of more than four catties of meat. After cutting out fifty slices of meat, five plates were filled.
The steamer was also very big. One layer could hold three plates, and two layers would be enough to fit everything.
Once the steamer was placed on top of the pot, it would take at least two hours to steam.
If the heat wasn't right, the meat wouldn't be soft enough, and it wouldn't taste good.
After doing all this, Jiang Ran was actually a little tired.
Pei Shanshan sat in front of the stove to light the fire. Jiang Ran simply moved a stool and sat next to Pei Jing.
Pei Jing had been sitting here alone. When he saw Jiang Ran sit over, he looked at Jiang Ran.
Looking into Pei Jing's dark eyes, Jiang Ran realized that Pei Jing should be in kindergarten at this age.
