The Actor’s Ex-wife

Chapter 171

There is a large supermarket not far from where she lives. Jian You usually walks there, only ten minutes away. In fact, now that express delivery is developed, she can buy fresh ingredients even at home, but Jian You prefers to choose in the supermarket, which can inspire her more cooking inspiration.

 This week’s summer health dishes are honey yam and winter melon pork ribs soup. Yams are sweet and mild in nature and flavor, tonifying the body and replenishing qi. Eating it in summer will not cause internal heat easily. Winter melon can dispel dampness, reduce swelling, clear away heat and detoxify. It is also a common home-cooked dish in summer.

Jian You couldn't walk when she reached the place where fresh fruits and vegetables were grown. The fragrance of all kinds of fresh fruits and vegetables made her feel better.

 Besides, after giving Shen Xiao a meal this morning, she had really eaten quite a lot, and now it was time to digest it. The iron-bar yam produced in Shandong is the best. After being steamed, it becomes soft and glutinous in the mouth. Whether it is dipped in osmanthus honey or blueberry sauce, it is delicious. For winter melon, you should choose a large piece in the middle. The melon slices will be very plump and will complement the ribs when cooked together.

Pork is naturally made from good wild boar. Although it takes some heat, the meat is soft and chewy.

Jian You pushed the cart back and forth in front of the shelves, and didn't care that the mothers-in-law and grandmothers who were shopping nearby had already noticed her.

“That...isn’t that the little girl from Dr. Zhao’s show?” The sharp-eyed mother-in-law had already spotted it.

"Sure enough, it was her. My grandson watched the show with me that day, or did the show. It was all fake. How could there be such a beautiful girl in the world who can cook! Girls nowadays can only eat, but they also have to choose Pick and choose!” The wife who agreed with the other party showed that she had rich life experience and spoke eloquently.

"I see that she is very experienced in picking vegetables, and cooking must be a piece of cake. If nothing else, her chopping skills show that she is not just a showman." The old woman looked at Jian You through her glasses. They have probably never seen such a beautiful girl who can cook.

Jiang Meiyi was standing behind the two old ladies at this time. After hearing this, she raised her head and glanced at Jian You, who was picking ribs at the pork counter opposite. She was wearing a large dress today, with the belt loosely held around her waist, and she was standing there selecting ingredients with a focused expression.

Jiang Meiyi actually saw Jian You early in the morning, but because Jian You was too focused on shopping, she didn't pay attention to her, and she didn't intend to say hello to Jian You. After all, I had seen her several times at Shen's house. Except for the last two times, everyone seemed very friendly. Every time Jiang Meiyi saw Jian You before, she always had an indescribable feeling. Jian You used to feel dull and clumsy, but now there is something in Jian You's eyes that Jiang Meiyi can't see through. Shen Wei returned to China today. Her flight was around nine o'clock and she had probably already arrived at the airport. She came to the supermarket to buy some things and wanted to make a home-cooked meal for Shen Wei.

After Shen Wei returned to China after studying, Jiang Meiyi naturally wanted her to have a high-paying position in the Shen family, but the current bottom line from Shen Lu seemed to be that she had to start from the grassroots level.

The expression on Jiang Meiyi's face changed at this time. She walked past the two old ladies and came to a place not far from Jian You. She smiled and waved to Jian You: "Jian You, is it really you? I still I thought I made a mistake!"

Jian You was letting the chef at the counter cut a piece of fine pork ribs for soup, when she suddenly heard someone calling her, and she raised her head blankly. She saw Jiang Meiyi looking at her with cheerful eyes, as if such an encounter was such a surprise.

 But Jian You just didn't like this feeling. She smiled too exaggeratedly and the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes became deep.

“Good morning, Aunt Jiang, what a coincidence, you are also here to visit the supermarket.” Jian You smiled politely at Jiang Meiyi, took the ribs weighed by the chef, and put them in the shopping cart.

"Let me see what you bought?" Jiang Meiyi came over and stretched her neck to look at the things Jian You bought, with a smile on her face. "You live alone and have to cook by yourself. If you live with the old man, , just tell the kitchen what you want to eat.”

Jian You didn't like the way Jiang Meiyi spoke like this, as if it was natural to live a life where she could open her mouth when she had to put on her clothes. In fact, from the plot she got from the original book, the monthly support given by the Shen family to her family was definitely not a small amount. Moreover, after her husband Shen Hong passed away, the old man should have given their family a large amount of pension.

If there is no major investment or expenses, with Jiang Meiyi's current income, it should be easy to hire a live-in nanny. But from Jian You's observation of her, it seems that their family does not have a nanny. The house she lives in now was bought with monthly payment after Shen Lu started working.
