Even Jiang Ran, who was used to having nothing to eat, couldn't help but swallow, let alone Pei Shanshan and Pei Jing, who hadn't seen meat in years.
Jiang Ran looked up at the two of them and saw them staring straight at the twice-cooked pork, their lips tightly pressed together.
Clearly, they really wanted to eat it.
Jiang Ran wanted to eat it too.
Since she wanted to eat, Jiang Ran didn't hold back, picked up her chopsticks, took a slice of meat, and put it in her mouth.
The meat was freshly cooked and still warm, but not too hot.
With a gentle bite, the meat juice flowed into her throat, making her feel incredibly satisfied.
This piece of meat had the perfect mix of fat and lean; the fat wasn't greasy, and the lean wasn't dry.
Jiang Ran felt that she hadn't even chewed much before the meat dissolved in her mouth.
Delicious, truly delicious. But would only one piece be enough?
Jiang Ran, holding her chopsticks, was just about to get a second piece when she saw Pei Shanshan and Pei Jing across from her, staring at her enviously.
Jiang Ran raised an eyebrow, "Why are you looking at me? Do you think watching me can fill you up? Hurry up and eat."
With that, Jiang Ran took two pairs of chopsticks from the holder and handed them to the two people opposite her.
Pei Shanshan didn't dare take them.
This was twice-cooked pork!
Real meat!
Was Jiang Ran really kind enough to let her eat it?
Could she have some ulterior motive?
All sorts of thoughts flashed through Pei Shanshan's mind, making her too scared to take the chopsticks.
Pei Jing just stared at Jiang Ran with his big, watery eyes, unblinking.
Seeing this, Jiang Ran simply stood up, bent slightly, and put the chopsticks into their hands.
"Alright, stop staring at me. If I say you can eat, then eat. Don't worry, I won't make you wash dishes to pay for the meal."
As Jiang Ran said this, the man just happened to come out with shredded potatoes and rice.
Hearing this, the man laughed, "Even if you were willing, I wouldn't want to!"
With the boss's words, Pei Shanshan finally felt a little relieved.
Pei Jing, being a child, could hold back temporarily when he saw something delicious but couldn't resist for too long.
What's more, after Jiang Ran urged him to eat repeatedly, he definitely couldn't hold back anymore.
Pei Jing wasn't too old, but he had learned to use chopsticks when he was just over one year old.
Since he learned to use them, he's always fed himself without needing anyone to help.
At this moment, with chopsticks in hand, Pei Jing calmly picked up a slice of meat and put it into his mouth.
Pei Jing's mouth wasn't big, but the piece of meat wasn't small either.
He stuffed the whole piece into his mouth, making his cheeks puff out immediately.
Watching Pei Jing with his puffed cheeks, pouting and chewing little by little, Jiang Ran's eyes were filled with amusement.
Who wouldn't love eating meat?
Even before this story, when everyone could afford meat, there were still many people who loved eating meat.
Not to mention now, when many people couldn't eat meat several times a year, they'd only love meat more.
With both Jiang Ran and Pei Jing eating, Pei Shanshan finally carefully picked up a slice of meat.
Holding the meat to her mouth, Pei Shanshan didn't dare eat it right away; instead, she glanced at Jiang Ran again.
Pei Shanshan was really worried, worried that Jiang Ran would suddenly turn hostile.
But Jiang Ran didn't even look at her, already turning her attention to eating the shredded potatoes.
Seeing this, Pei Shanshan finally relaxed a little.
It took Pei Shanshan three bites to finish one slice of meat, and afterward, she didn't dare reach out with her chopsticks again.
Seeing Pei Shanshan like this, Jiang Ran simply asked the store owner for another bowl, divided the bowl of rice in half, and gave it to Pei Shanshan and Pei Jing.
