Chapter 32: Old Shadows of the Republic of China (1)
"Brother~" Jiang Huiqin took the hand of the man at the door and coquettishly, "You promised me yesterday that you would teach me!"
Jiang Feng guessed that the middle-aged man in front of him, who looked a little similar to himself, was his great-grandfather Jiang Chengde.
The huge age difference between the two looks less like brother and sister than father and daughter.
"They are all big girls who are going to get married, and they are not in shape yet. Jiang Chengde doted on her and reached out to pat her head, "Still embroidering a wedding dress in the room?"
"It's all to blame Wei Jin's stinky boy, I originally embroidered it, and I broke a corner, tomorrow I will go to the wedding photo with Mingyi, and I have to knock him a few times when I catch him!" Jiang Huiqin raised her little fist and waved it to show her determination to beat her nephew, trotted two steps to the front, and saw that Jiang Chengde was still walking slowly behind, urging: "Hurry up, hurry up!"
Jiang Huiqin ran fast, Jiang Feng could only trot to follow, and the invisible wall behind him kept hitting his back and ass, like someone was whipping him.
Taifeng Building was very close in the small courtyard of the Jiang family, Jiang Huiqin slipped in through the back door with ease, and finally stopped in the back kitchen, so that Jiang Feng finally had time to stop and take a breath, and rub his poor buttocks by the way.
It's really condescending for his aunt not to practice long-distance running.
"Miss Jiang, Chef, he just went out. A helper in the kitchen saw Jiang Huiqin sneaking in and reminded.
"Shhh, I'll borrow the kitchen, don't talk to the owner. Jiang Huiqin searched around and didn't find the ingredients she wanted, and Jiang Chengde didn't come for a long time, so she was so anxious that she jumped to her feet.
After a while, Jiang Chengde was late.
"Brother, hurry up, I also asked Mingyi to go to the movies in the evening, you hurry up!" Jiang Huiqin urged.
Jiang Chengde smiled: "When can you change your urgency, say okay, I will only teach you this dish once, look good, don't move, this is the dish ordered by Mr. Zhang." ”
"I don't move, I must not move!"
Jiang Chengde walked to a stove, lifted the lid of the big iron pot, took out a small bowl inside, and put it in front of Jiang Huiqin.
"Mr. Zhang's mother likes house swallows, and my brother-in-law sets Huang Yan, the method is the same, go, and clip out the fluff inside. Jiang Chengde pushed the bowl in front of her, "Clean it and go through the water again, put it in alkaline water and soak it." ”
Jiang Huiqin honestly went to get a pair of thin chopsticks, approached the small bowl in front of her, and carefully picked out the small black fluff and other magazines inside.
Jiang Feng also leaned over curiously to take a look, the chopsticks were very thin, but they were too thick compared to the small fluff in the bowl, Jiang Huiqin's hands were very skillful, but it was very laborious to pick them up.
"The bird's nest should be rinsed with warm water first, and then simmered in the pot for an hour and a half. I don't need to teach you how to make willow pigeon eggs, do you?"
"No, no, no. Jiang Huiqin lowered her head and picked out a small fluff.
Seeing that Jiang Huiqin was dancing carefully, Jiang Chengde stopped instructing, went to the table next to him and took eight small wooden spoons, touched a layer of oil in the spoons with an oilcloth, and put them aside. Immediately after, take a piece of ham on the right-hand side.
"The ham has to be marinated first, and by the way, I have to add two more hams to your dowry. Be careful when slicing, don't cut it recklessly, wait for it to soak in alkaline water and then wash it with warm water and then tear it off, forget it, you pick it first, you can't remember if you say too much. Jiang Chengde said, and the movements of his hands did not stop.
The large kitchen knife lightly slashed along the texture of the ham, and there were a few more slices of ham as thin as cicada wings on the board.
Jiang Huiqin buried her head low from the moment she heard the two words dowry, and she didn't listen to a word of the rest of the words.
When Jiang Huiqin finished picking the fluff and impurities in the bird's nest and put them into the alkaline water to soak them, Jiang Chengde's willow leaf pigeon eggs were also ready, and the steamed pigeon eggs were spread with ham slices and winter vegetables, which were very beautiful.
"Brother, what kind of bird's nest should it be soaked?" Jiang Huiqin saw that the pigeon eggs were steamed, and couldn't help but look at the bird's nest that had already been soaked in the bowl.
Jiang Chengde looked over and was in a hurry, so he hurriedly poured out the alkaline water and rinsed it with warm water: "You really don't remember when you say you don't remember! I told you to take it out when you soak it, how long have you been soaking here? Why don't you quickly scoop a bowl of cold water!"
Jiang Huiqin hurriedly went to scoop up water.
Waiting for Jiang Huiqin to scoop the cold water, the bird's nest had been torn by Jiang Chengde, and Jiang Chengde flushed it with cold water and put it in the pot.
The Jiang family's hobby of soup has really been worn down from generation to generation, and as soon as the bird's nest is put out of the pot, the hot clear soup is poured on it, and Jiang Feng noticed that the two large pots on the stove behind are actually full of soup.
When Jiang Feng turned around, the bird's nest had been fished out, and there was only the clear soup that was still steaming and about to boil in the pot, just when the clear soup was about to boil, Jiang Chengde poured another scoop of cold soup into it, sprinkled a pinch of salt, and finally filled it with a spoonful of Shao wine, and threw the pot to Jiang Huiqin.
"When it's boiling, skim out the foam. With that, the plate began.
got the task, and Jiang Huiqin, who wanted to make up for it, stared intently at the cauldron in front of her.
"Auntie, aunt, Brother Mingyi is looking for you. A little turnip head ran into the back kitchen.
"Wei Guo, I have to call my uncle in the future, I can't mess up my seniority!" Jiang Chengde stiffened his face.
"Oh. The smile on the little turnip's face faded away.
This is!
Grandfather??!
Jiang Feng stared at the small radish head in front of him with a string of snot on his nose, and he couldn't believe his eyes.
Before Jiang Feng could fully observe the juvenile version of Jiang Weiguo, Jiang Huiqin ran out with a red face, Jiang Feng could only chase after him, otherwise his waist and ass would suffer.
Then Jiang Feng experienced a large-scale dog feeding scene.
Who said that people in the old society were very conservative, and anything that was affectionate and polite was nonsense!
Caesar didn't pull a single grain of dog food!
Jiang Feng witnessed his teenage version of his aunt and aunt watching the movie crookedly, you feed me a plum and I will feed you a melon seed, pull a little hand, at the end of the movie, the heroine died tragically, and Li Mingyi secretly kissed Jiang Huiqin's left cheek.
is obviously a tragic movie, and it is silent, but the two seem to have watched a sweet love movie.
After watching the movie, Li Mingyi sent Jiang Huiqin home, and Jiang Feng followed them.
The critical damage from the couple dog in front was too great, and Jiang Feng felt that it was safer to be behind.
"Tomorrow we will go to Jinli to open a photo studio to take wedding photos. There was still an alley from the small courtyard house of the Jiang family, and Li Mingyi stopped his pace.
"Hmm. Jiang Huiqin replied in a low voice.
"In five days, you will be my wife. ”
"Hmm. Jiang Huiqin's voice was even quieter, her head was lowered, and even the tips of her ears were red with shame.
"If it weren't for my mother's insistence on picking an auspicious day for the zodiac, I would have loved to let you marry me today. I must publish in the newspaper, not only in Beiping, but also in Shanghai, in Nanjing, Ta Kung Pao, and Minbao, I want the whole country to know that you are my wife!" Li Mingyi hugged Jiang Huiqin, lowered his head and kissed her on the forehead, and said in a low voice:
“Good night, my darling!”
Jiang Huiqin's face, which was originally just a little red, turned red in an instant, and he got out of his arms and ran home without looking back.
Jiang Feng was miserable when she ran suddenly, and she was not prepared at all, so she was hit hard by the invisible wall behind her, and was directly knocked to the ground.
It hurts!
Jiang Feng got up from the ground and found that he had actually appeared in a room, and it was actually daytime.
You must know that when Jiang Huiqin ran home just now, it was night.
"I don't wear it, I don't wear it, I don't wear it!"
Before Jiang Feng could figure out what the situation was, he heard Jiang Huiqin's angry scream.
