Chapter 548: Specialty
The sixteenth day of the first month is the day when all employees of Taifeng Building end their annual leave and report to work.
It is also the day when Jiang Feng ends his comfortable and lazy vacation and returns to work.
Jiang Feng was awakened by the vibration of his mobile phone.
When I woke up, I was still a little delirious.
Jiang Feng glanced at his mobile phone with half-squinted eyes, and found that it was not an alarm clock but a phone, and he answered it casually without even seeing who the caller was.
"Hey?" Jiang Feng said weakly.
"Master, I bought you breakfast, now at the door. I just knocked on the door and no one opened the door, you hurry up and come out and help me open the door!" In stark contrast was Ji Xia's energetic voice.
Jiang Feng was a little confused, hung up the phone and lay on the bed, reacting for dozens of seconds, he remembered that he did seem to have an apprentice. In order to fulfill Xia Xia's wishes, Jiang Feng got up with difficulty and put on his pajamas, and went to open the door with a chicken coop.
Ji Xia was waiting outside with a bunch of things, holding a bag in his hand and carrying two bags, and three bags at his feet.
If these were the breakfasts that Ji Xia bought for Jiang Feng, Jiang Feng suspected that Ji Xia might have wrapped up an entire steamed bun shop.
Jiang Feng helped Ji Xia pick up the three bags next to his feet and signaled Ji Xia to come in, and as soon as Ji Xia took off his shoes, he didn't even have time to put on his slippers and went into the kitchen with his things.
"Xia Xia, wear slippers!" Jiang Feng shouted while standing at the door.
Ji Xia could only put down his things and obediently came out to put on his slippers, and handed Jiang Feng the pancakes and fruits that had been hidden in many bags, and Jiang Feng was still warm when he took over.
"When did you and your sister come back?" Jiang Feng glanced at the wall clock on the wall, it was not yet 7 o'clock. He remembered that Ji Yue told him last night that Ji Xia and Ji Xue were on the train that arrived at about four or five o'clock in the morning today.
"I just came back, it was not dawn when we arrived, there was neither bus nor subway, so my sister and I took a taxi back. Ji Xia said, "Master, it's really expensive to take a taxi!"
"When I have money in the future, I have to take a taxi every day!"
Jiang Feng: ?
Ambitious, but not very environmentally friendly.
"What's in your bag?" Jiang Feng asked.
"These are all things that my mother-in-law asked me to bring to you, Master. Ji Xia said, "There are dried scallops, salted fish, dried shrimp, squid, eyefish and beef balls, all of which are made by my mother-in-law." ”
Jiang Feng opened the bag closest to him and found that the bag was full of dried shrimp, and at a glance, he knew that the shrimp had been dried and sealed with salt.
Jiang Feng didn't expect Ji Xia to return home for the New Year, and he actually brought so many family specialties to himself. The first thing he did when he came back was not to go home to sleep but to help him buy breakfast, and he was so moved for a while that he even wanted to send another red envelope to Ji Xia.
Jiang Feng took a bite of the pancake fruit, the skin was thin, the grate inside was crispy, eggs, tenderloin and fritters were added, and the taste of the sauce was also very familiar, like the pancake fruit of the house he often went to buy on weekdays.
"Xia Xia, where did you buy this pancake fruit?" Jiang Feng asked.
"It's the one next to the bean juice stand you used to eat, Master. Ji Xia said.
Jiang Feng took another bite of the pancake fruit and was even more moved.
The pancake fruit stall was some distance away from the community, and it took at least half an hour to come and go, but he didn't expect Ji Xia to travel so far to buy pancakes and fruits for him.
"Xia Xia, you definitely didn't sleep well after taking the train all night, go up to sleep, and wait for noon when the master takes you to eat something delicious." Jiang Feng smiled lovingly.
"Thank you, Master!" Ji Xia was suddenly excited, "Master, I'm not sleepy, my sister and I bought a sleeper this time, and I slept soundly on the train!"
"By the way, Xia Xia, why did you think of buying me pancakes and fruits?" Jiang Feng asked casually.
"Because I really want to eat pancakes, we don't sell pancakes at all, it seems to be in the city but not in the county. I wanted to eat it when I got off the train, but I didn't see it at the train station, so I went to buy pancakes and fruits when I came back and put my luggage. Ji Xia said.
Jiang Feng: ......
Your red envelope is gone.
"Okay, go back quickly, and I'll call you down and take you to dinner at about 11 o'clock." Jiang Feng began to drive people away.
Ji Xia left happily, completely unaware of what she had just lost.
Although the apprentice just bought himself a pancake fruit by the way, he was also considered to have a heart by the way. What's more, the pancake fruit itself is not at fault, Jiang Feng ate the pancake fruit in three or two bites, threw the packaging bag into the trash, and began to study these specialties brought to her by Ji Xia from her mother-in-law.
When Jiang Feng was at the door before, he didn't smell the smell of seafood in the bag, because he wasn't close enough, and at that time, he was a little sleepy, and he went back to sleep and didn't pay attention to it. Now that Ji Xia is gone, he has begun to study these things, and the unique fishy smell of seafood has become obvious.
Jiang Feng has rarely touched seafood because he has been living in inland cities before because of the high price of seafood, and he only began to come into contact with it often after coming to Beiping, but the ones he handles are all alive, and this kind of dried shrimp and dried fish after some special treatment and sun-drying is still relatively rare.
Jiang Feng broke the air-dried seafood made by Ji Xia's mother-in-law one by one and tasted it, some of them were salty, but they were unexpectedly good, especially the dried shrimp. Jiang Feng couldn't help but eat one directly when he tasted it, it was very chewy and had a different flavor.
The beef balls were also made by hand, and this Jiang Feng didn't taste it, but just pinched it. The fascia of the beef in the beef balls has not been removed, so the meat quality is not so delicate, making beef balls is a hard work, and it is also a delicate work, Jiang Feng guessed that the old man did not have so much energy, so he was lazy and omitted this step.
It can be seen that Granny Ji Xia is a person who is very good at making food and is also very happy to make food, it is estimated that she used to be the head chef of the family, versatile, and Grandma Jiang who does not know how to make a series of foods such as bacon, cured meat, and kimchi is in stark contrast.
Of course, Jiang Feng didn't dislike his own grandmother at all, after all, the chives made by Grandma Jiang were so delicious.
It's just not to do it on weekdays.
Because no one lived in the house during the Chinese New Year, the refrigerator was also empty, and these specialties brought by Ji Xia were classified by Jiang Feng and put into the refrigerator, adding a touch of sea flavor to this refrigerator that can only hold earth and freshwater products on weekdays.
After tidying up the refrigerator, Jiang Feng cleaned the kitchen by the way, checked the seasonings and kitchenware, and found the water cup that had been missing for half a year in the cupboard by the way.
After finishing this work, Jiang Xiaoran also got up and began to wash up and prepare to pack up his things.
"Did someone come before? I vaguely heard something. Jiang Xiaoran asked.
"My apprentice came and brought me some of their specialties. By the way, Brother Xiaoran, do you want to take some back with you? Everything is very good, and it is estimated that you can't buy it on the market, that shrimp... Beef balls are a good idea. ”
"Ah, thank you, cousin Jiang Feng. If I can be transferred to Peking on a business trip before May Day, I will also bring you some salted fish and preserved pig's trotters made by my grandmother, which you can't put away when it's hot. Jiang Xiaoran said.
"You're welcome. Jiang Feng smiled with a masterful lie.
