Chapter 229: Suitable for character
If I had to use one word to describe today's meal, it would be colorful.
First of all, the food is delicious.
There is no need to say that the eldest aunt and Jiang Xiaohong are at the top level among housewives when it comes to cooking. The Jiang family gathers for dinner every two days on weekdays, and either the eldest aunt is the chef or Jiang Xiaohong is the chef.
Both of them like to cook and study food, especially the eldest aunt. She studies famous dishes online every day. After cooking them, she asks Jiang Wanwan if they taste good or not.
Jiang Wanwan was also confused about this. Internet celebrity dishes only existed online, and Jiang Wanwan had never tasted them.
Today's fried mushrooms are what my aunt learned online, but it's not an internet celebrity dish, it's Shandong cuisine.
"Mom, the fried mushrooms you made today are so delicious! Go buy some more mushrooms tomorrow, I still want to eat them!" Jiang Wanwan said with great approval after the plate of fried mushrooms was cleared.
"Okay." The eldest aunt said with a smile, "Everyone will come to my house for dinner tomorrow, especially Bingbing and Xiaoqi. Don't think I don't know. You two eat takeout every day and don't open the fire at home."
Jiang Bing shook his head repeatedly: "It's nothing! Auntie, it was a long time ago that Jiang Qi and I had takeout. Now we both go upstairs to eat. Right brother?"
"Ah, yes, yes!" Jiang Qi nodded perfunctorily, a little absent-mindedly. All he could think about was that his parents were coming back to stay for a long time. What to do with all the toy spirits at home? Should they all be moved upstairs?
Jiang Xiaoliang and Qiao Huifang's return this time is basically equivalent to living a retired life, and they must stay at home every day. There are so many toy spirits in the house, and many of them have restless personalities.
If they saw something they shouldn't see, they would be frightened to death.
Jiang Xiaoliang and Qiao Huifang are both fifty years old, so they cannot afford such a big shock.
"Eat upstairs?" Jiang Xiaoliang was a little curious, "Isn't the upstairs rented by Xiao Qi as the staff dormitory of their store?"
"Yes." Jiang Bing nodded, "Uncle Huang lives upstairs with his niece Qinghe, and Teacher John, and Wang Xinghua, who came to pick up toys this afternoon, also lives upstairs. She and Qinghe are from the same village.
We grew up together and now live in the same house."
"Uncle Huang is the store manager. He likes cooking and is very enthusiastic. He always invites us to come and eat together."
"Brother, sister-in-law, you should buy some things when you come back to stay this time, right?" Jiang Xiaohong said with a smile, "I probably haven't bought any New Year's goods yet. How about we go to the supermarket to buy New Year's goods tomorrow? I'll buy sausages and stuff like that.
I have already ordered braised vegetables for you at the vegetable market..."
"Mom, there's no need to buy braised vegetables. Brother Jiang Qi said he would bring them to me directly from the store when the time comes." Wen Luo interrupted.
Jiang Xiaohong smiled and patted her head: "Oh, yes, I forgot about it. Xiaoqi has opened a braised vegetable restaurant now, so we don't have to worry about the braised vegetables."
"Then the second brother and the others will come back on the 29th. I plan to go to their house the day after tomorrow to clean the whole house to avoid dust."
"I'll go too," Qiao Huifang said, "This year we will buy more vegetables for the Chinese New Year. Lao Jiang's old colleagues and I have to start walking around. Previously, we were tight on time, so we always called and texted New Year greetings. Now that we have time, we have to do it at home.
Treat them with two tables of delicious food."
"Speaking of this... Third brother, sister-in-law, have you heard about it? The old director of your lumber factory seems to be hospitalized. I heard that he seems to be in poor condition. All his sons, daughters, and grandchildren are back.
."
"Ah? I remember that Director Sun was in pretty good health last year!" Qiao Huifang looked surprised.
"Yes, last year I called Director Sun to say New Year's greetings, and my voice was very energetic." Jiang Xiaoliang agreed.
"I heard that I had a fall and suffered a stroke." Jiang Xiaokang joined the group chat.
"I heard that he got angry after a fight with his prodigal son." The eldest aunt also joined the group chat.
"I heard it was a quarrel. His younger son seems to have owed more than 4 million from gambling and borrowed loan sharks." The younger uncle revealed the bombshell news.
"Is this happening?!" everyone said in unison.
Although the New Year has not yet arrived, the gossip at the dinner table has already begun.
The elders are discussing gossip attentively, while the younger ones are gobbling up elbows.
There is only one elbow, including the skin, the sauce is even, fat and thin alternately, and there are only a few pieces of tender and chewy meat.
Among the elders sitting here, the youngest Jiang Xiaohong is 47 this year. For them, no matter how delicious the food on the table is, the most attractive thing is still the vegetables and vegetarian dishes. Just two chopsticks are enough to taste meat and meat. Eat more.
I can't eat it at all.
So this elbow plate became a battlefield for Jiang Qi, Jiang Bing, Jiang Wanwan and Wen Luo.
"Brother Jiang Qi, third uncle and third aunt are coming back this year. Don't you want to be like me in the future? If you don't sleep in every morning, your parents will wake you up if you sleep in." Jiang Wanwan tried to use the art of language to let Jiang Qi
Distracted.
"I think based on my parents' past attitudes, even if my sister and I sleep until 12 noon every day and get up for lunch, my dad will only say that young people can sleep more so they can have better energy to work." Jiang Qi said calmly.
, take away a good piece of meat.
Jiang Wanwan:???
"Yes, during the Chinese New Year the year before last, I took a big order. Every night I rushed to work on the manuscript and watched a TV series for an hour before going to bed. One day, my dad got up to go to the toilet and saw him. You know what my dad said.
"?" Jiang Bing answered.
"What did you say?"
"My dad said Bingbing is so energetic. She can actually watch TV until so late without feeling sleepy."
Jiang Wanwan & Wen Luo:???
"Third uncle is really outrageous." Wen Luo complained softly.
"It's outrageous." Jiang Qi nodded, "My sister skipped class in high school and went out to fight with others and was caught by her class teacher. The class teacher asked the parents to invite my sister-in-law to go without telling her. She even called my dad on WeChat to tell her about it.
."
"Do you know what my dad told my sister on WeChat later?"
Jiang Wanwan took the role of herself and thought about how she went to watch other people fight after school, but was misunderstood by her class teacher that she was fighting and wanted to invite her parents. After being fished out by Jiang Qi, her own mother unfortunately found out about the outcome. She said with certainty: "
Deduct Sister Bing’s pocket money!”
"He told my sister not to fight with two people against three people in the future. If there are fewer people, we will suffer a loss. If we want to fight with more people, it will be safer."
Jiang Wanwan:???
"How many times do you want me to clarify that I wasn't really going to fight with others that time? I was just like Wanwan that time. I skipped class to watch others fight. My junior high school classmate made a fight in the circle of friends, and I saw it deliberately
She skipped class. As a result, the people who were fighting with her thought I was with her, and I was somehow involved. Well, I was wronged too." Jiang Bing apologized.
"Obviously you were the one who fought most energetically in the end." Jiang Qi complained ruthlessly.
Jiang Wanwan and Wen Luo were so dumbfounded.
"What then? What then?" Jiang Wanwan asked impatiently.
"Then we finished eating the elbow." Jiang Qi smiled slightly and stuffed the last piece of elbow meat into his mouth.
Jiang Bing and Jiang Qi looked at each other, put down their chopsticks tacitly, slumped on their chairs and began to digest their food.
"Do you two believe this kind of nonsense? Look at my body, how can I fight with others? The most I did in high school was skipping classes and going out to watch movies and I was caught. I am a scholar, okay?" Jiang Bing said to her cousin!
My cousin is still too young."
Jiang Wanwan & Wen Luo:......
"Sister Bing and Brother Jiang Qi use this method to grab food every year, how come you don't find out every year?" Jiang Wanwan started to give Wen Luo the blame.
Wen Luo was also aggrieved: "Can you blame me? I can't find any problem with what they said. This is what Sister Bing and Third Uncle can do!"
Jiang Bing:???
