215 Splitting the Money

Jiang Chun smiled and shook her head. “Just do your own thing. I work in the factory now, so I get a salary and work points every month. This extra income is enough to cover my father’s medical fees. Besides, the better our food factory’s business, the more dividends we get at the end of the year. That’s another sum of money.”

Although Jiang Chun said this, Yu Bing still felt a little guilty. Previously, when she did not have enough manpower, she called Jiang Chun over to help. Now that she and Xiao Sheng had their own businesses, she kicked Jiang Chun to the curb.

The next morning, Wen Qin came to work half an hour early. Yu Bing realized that Wen Qin seemed much more spirited.

Yu Bing believed that with Wen Qin’s intelligence, it was impossible for the Sun family to control her anymore.

!!

After work at night, everyone gathered at the Xiao family’s house. Thinking that it was the last time the three of them would split the money, Yu Bing suggested that everyone eat together. When Xiao Li and Xiao Lin heard that Yu Bing was in charge of cooking, they agreed and prepared the ingredients according to Yu Bing’s request.

Jiang Chun was in charge of cutting the vegetables. Xiao Lin marveled as he started the fire, “Sister Yu Bing, I haven’t eaten your cooking in a long time! After so many months, I can finally eat a delicious meal again!”

Yu Bing chuckled. “You’re right, but be careful, or else your brother won’t cook for you next time.”

Xiao Sheng glanced at Xiao Lin as he washed the vegetables. “You’re so picky! I’ll let you cook your own meal next time.”

Xiao Lin immediately fell silent. After all, he was even worse a cook than his brother!

As Xiao Li sat at the side, she listened to everyone’s conversation with relish. The moment Yu Bing arrived, the house became very lively.

After Yu Bing carried the big yellow clay pot she had brought from home over, she smiled mysteriously and said, “I’ll cook a new dish for you guys today!”

Yu Bing’s new dish for tonight was rice casserole!

After Yu Bing brought the clay pot to the stove, she brushed a layer of oil on the bottom of the pot and placed the rice that had been soaked two hours in advance. After smoothing the rice, she placed it in mushroom water. Then, she inserted her finger on the surface of the rice. The water reached half of the first joint of her index finger.

Then, after the fire boiled, she lowered it to a small fire and slowly braised it. Then, she cut the sausage into thin slices. She also cut the mushrooms that had been soaked in water and blanched the vegetables in the boiling water.

When the rice was 80% cooked, the sausage and mushrooms were placed around the edge of the casserole. A raw egg was beaten in the middle. After the lid of the casserole was closed, a circle of cooking oil was poured along the side of the pot. This way, the rice crust at the bottom of the pot would taste even better.

When he heard the sizzling and smelled the aroma, Xiao Lin’s stomach growled.

During this period, Yu Bing began to mix the sauce, the most important part of this dish. She mixed raw soy sauce, soy sauce, oil, white sugar, salt, and sesame oil evenly. Then, she added a suitable amount of water.

Five minutes later, the vegetables were placed, and the sauce was evenly sprinkled. The meal was ready.

Then, Yu Bing made braised chicken, fish head tofu soup, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and salad.

As expected, the new dish was praised profusely. Compared to white rice, rice casserole had a richer taste because of the sauce, while the rice crust at the bottom of the pot was brown and crispy!

To the inland provinces, the origin of the rice casserole was too far away, so there was no chance of eating it. Therefore, the novelty made this delicacy much more popular to everyone.

After dinner, they began to distribute the money. It had been almost half a year since the last time they distributed the money. As usual, Xiao Sheng let Yu Bing and Jiang Chun look at the account book first. After they confirmed that there were no mistakes, Xiao Sheng received 1,331 yuan this time, while Yu Bing and Jiang Chun each received 998.25 yuan.

After Yu Bing and Jiang Chun returned home, Jiang Chun dug out the money they saved up and started counting.

Jiang Chun grabbed Yu Bing’s hands tightly and asked excitedly, “Guess how much money I have now!”

Yu Bing smiled and asked, “How much?”

Jiang Chun patted her chest to suppress her urge to shout as she said in a low voice, “1,500 yuan! I’ve never seen so much money in my life! I even sent 100 yuan back previously. I felt like I had spent a lot on my daily expenses, but there’s still so much left! Even if they didn’t spend money on expenses, my parents would have to save for a few years to save up 1,500 yuan, but I’ve already earned so much in just a year.”

When Yu Bing saw the unconcealed smile on Jiang Chun’s face, she shook her head in amusement. “I plan to go to the bank to register an account in two days. Do you want to come along?”

Jiang Chun hurriedly nodded. Now, she felt that it was no longer safe to leave the money underground. What if someone could tell at a glance that there were signs of movement on the ground?!
