Rebirth in the '80s: The Daily Life of the Villainess and Her Son-Chapter 57: Lost Weight

Chapter 57: Chapter 57: Lost Weight
Some people only care about the fish’s appearance and completeness.
But when the fish is eaten, it lacks texture and flavor, wasting a whole fish.
A truly delicious red braised fish should not only look good but also have tender, flavorful meat.
In the past, Jiang Ran worked hard to perfect her fish cooking skills.
Fortunately, all efforts ultimately pay off in the end.
Even without a kitchen or suitable utensils now, Jiang Ran can still make top-notch red braised fish.
Adding some chili to the fish creates an incredible taste, with the aroma spreading for miles when the wind blows.
The chili flavor is inherently strong and particularly enticing.
Once the aroma wafts out, people rush over eagerly, even before lunchtime.
Upon learning there are only ten fish at lunchtime, people immediately offer money to reserve them.
They completely trust Jiang Ran’s cooking skills after eating her food for so many days.
Jiang Ran cooks to sell, regardless of who buys it or when it’s sold.
People willing to pay for reservations, she’s happy to accept.
Since there aren’t many fish, all ten get reserved quickly.
Latecomers hoping to buy fish are left with nothing but frustration.
Luckily, there’s still red braised pork available.
Red braised pork is brightly colored, with thick, sweet-tasting broth that’s irresistible.
Compared to fish, the pork suits elderly people who have dental issues and young children who can’t handle fish bones, making it very popular.
Having run the business for so long, Jiang Ran gradually increased her food quantities.
No matter how much she prepares, it generally sells out.
Preparing more leads to higher earnings, naturally.
This time, after calculating one month’s earnings, Jiang Ran shares the profits with the Pei Family.
To help everyone understand the business better, Jiang Ran carefully prepares a ledger.
After clear calculations, she distributes the rightful share to each person.
This past month, business flourished and more dishes were sold, naturally leading to higher profits.
Last time, half-month profits earned Jiang Ran a hundred and eighty yuan.
This one-month period, she earned four hundred yuan.
With this four hundred yuan, not only can she repay Pei Huai, but there’s surplus for more medicine purchases.
Previously, Jiang Ran spent all her earnings.
Jiang Ran doesn’t spend money on food, drink, or clothing; most goes toward buying medicine.
A small portion is dedicated to borrowing books and buying little things for Pei Jing.
Though the Pei Family also buys for Pei Jing, Jiang Ran feels, as Pei Jing’s mother, she should do her part.
A month might seem simple and uneventful for others.
Yet for Jiang Ran, who continually takes medicine to improve her health, it’s transformative.
The original weight of Jiang Ran was close to two hundred pounds.
This month, through busyness, daily medicine, and attention to diet, she lost twenty to thirty pounds.
For a normal person, losing so much weight in a month would cause health issues.
However, Jiang Ran’s unique condition means losing twenty to thirty pounds makes her look better, healthier, without side effects.
