Extra 3: Jiang Taisun's Throne (1)
Jiang Weiguo first realized that he might lose the power of the family Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, two hours before the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.
Because of the experience of not being able to buy pork for the Chinese New Year last year, as early as October this year, Grandma Jiang called Li Cuihua's family next door to help pay attention to the good pork in the village, and ordered half a pig in advance.
The pigs were killed in the afternoon of the new year.
The Jiang family's flight arrived at 11 o'clock in the evening the day before the child, thanks to the fact that now everyone is rich and can afford to buy a first-class plane.
Except for Jiang Weiming, Jiang Weiguo and Grandma Jiang rushed back to the countryside to deal with pork on the same day, and everyone else had to stay in Z City for two days. Clean up the house that hasn't been inhabited for a year, raise some popularity, and then go back to the countryside for the New Year.
By the way, Jiang Weiming was originally going to the magic capital to celebrate the New Year with Jiang Yong's family this year. However, due to the fact that Xu Cheng was stimulated by Jiang Feng and Chef Arnold's dishes during the finals and decided to find his original intention, all the staff of "Zhiwei" magazine had to work overtime for the Chinese New Year this year, and then make up for the annual leave after the Lantern Festival, Jiang Yong could only let Jiang Weiming celebrate the New Year with the Jiang family this year, and then take him to the magic capital after the Lantern Festival.
On the other hand, because the time is too rushed, everyone will not spend Chinese New Year's Eve together, and everyone will eat anything at will, and the big meal and dumplings will be made up when the official New Year is over.
Although the three old men were in a hurry to go back to the countryside, due to the fatigue of the boat, the three of them did not get up early in the morning, and it was already three o'clock in the afternoon when they took the minibus all the way to the entrance of the village, and the pigs were already being killed.
The three of them stood at the entrance of the village and heard the heart-rending screams of the pigs inside.
"This won't be the one we set to kill, right? Oh, the old man told you to leave early, set off early! The pigs are going to start killing so late, hurry up, go home and get the pot to catch the pig's blood, what if Cuihua ignores our pig's shoes, the last time she asked her to help me buy a roast goose, she gave me the goose butt. "Grandma Jiang was anxious when she heard the pig's cry, and she had to run home without any luggage.
"What are you anxious about? Didn't you say it last time, he didn't want a goose butt, he didn't want a goose leg, who wants a goose butt?" The old man reluctantly chased after him with two suitcases.
When she walked to the door, Grandma Jiang bumped into Li Cuihua, who was directing her grandson to run faster with a pot.
"Liang Liang, hurry up, Zhang Bald, who is sharing pigs with your grandmother Jiang and their family today, that guy likes to take advantage of people the most, and he can give you all the pig blood if you go later." When the time comes, Zhao Lanhua will have to say that I hacked their pig blood. ”
"Cuihua!" Grandma Jiang didn't seem to hear Li Cuihua's complaint to her just now.
"Orchid!" Li Cuihua pretended to say just now, as if she didn't say it.
"Liangliang run faster, and when you're done shopping tomorrow, Grandma Jiang will bring you a bunch!"
Zhao Liang suddenly ran fast with the basin in his arms, and his slightly chubby body contained infinite energy.
Let the little one go to pick up the pig's blood, and a few old ones stop in place and chat.
Li Cuihua first nodded at Jiang Weiming and Jiang Weiguo, and then couldn't wait to drag Grandma Jiang aside, extremely excited, and said excitedly in an extremely exaggerated tone: "Orchid, your Xiaofeng is out of luck this time, they are all on TV, and they have won the first place in the world competition." I watched the live broadcast of the game you asked me to watch last time, and it was very good-looking, but it took too long, more than ten hours. I've been listening to it since noon and evening, and when I was playing mahjong in the afternoon, the faceless host was talking too much nonsense, and I made a lot of mistakes and lost a lot of cards in an afternoon. ”
Grandma Jiang instantly grasped the point: "Who did you play with that afternoon?"
"Who else can there be, Lao Wan. Let me tell you, Lao Wan and the others went back to watch the game, and after seeing Xiaofeng win the championship, they kept telling me that they must come to your house to play cards during the Chinese New Year this year, and they will be touched by the joy of the world champion. Li Cuihua said happily.
"That's definitely no problem, I'll let Xiao Feng make you tea when the time comes. "Grandma Jiang never mentioned letting Jiang Feng make refreshments and snacks.
The old man listened to it for a while, and found that the two of them were talking about meaningless things, thinking about the pig being killed, and wanted to put the luggage home first and then go to see the pig killing.
Seeing that Jiang Weiguo was leaving, Li Cuihua hurriedly stopped him: "Lao Jiang, you can enjoy Qingfu in the future, and you don't have to be busy for the New Year." In the future, your family's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner must be responsible for Xiao Feng, right, you can finally rest after decades of busy work. ”
Jiang Weiguo was stunned.
Grandma Jiang was also stunned.
How to say, although Jiang Feng's cooking skills have surpassed the old man now, Jiang Feng has been helping since last year, but the two never thought that the power of the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner should be handed over to Jiang Feng.
No matter how you think about this matter, you think that Jiang Taisun wants to usurp the throne.
Li Cuihua saw that the expressions of the two of them had changed, thinking that she had said the wrong thing, and was about to change her words, so the old man nodded and responded:
"Yes, I can rest this year. ”
Grandma Jiang looked at the old man with the eyes of an alien.
"Very good, this year's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner will be handled by Xiao Feng, and the two of us can rest and enjoy the blessings." Jiang Weiming said with a smile.
"Hmph. The old man snorted lightly, dragging the two suitcases and walking in with his limbs uncoordinated, his face full of joy.
Li Cuihua: ?
Is Lao Jiang happy or unhappy? Did she say the wrong thing just now?
On the other hand, Jiang Feng, who was still in Z City to complete the New Year's due and had long been estranged, did not know that he had successfully seized power and usurped the throne invisibly, and his grandson had not yet succeeded.
This year's Jiang Feng can be said to be very impressive.
first ranked first in the hot search, and then went on the hot search several times, participated in a popular competitive cooking reality show variety show and won the championship. Even a layman who doesn't know how to cook at all will more or less know that this young chef is very awesome now, and he is a little familiar with the name Taifeng Lou and even Jiang Feng.
Passers-by who have nothing to do with Jiang Feng are familiar, let alone classmates who have been classmates with him for several years.
On the day of the new year, Jiang Feng participated in two class reunions.
Elementary school reunion at noon, junior high school reunion in the evening, and a high school reunion at noon the next day, the time schedule can be described as quite large, and the purpose of the party is very clear.
Everyone wants to chat with this old classmate who has shined this year, and it is best to try the legendary dish that has been on the hot search.
Because it is a small year's party, there are not many people coming, there are only about a dozen people at each party, some students have not yet had a holiday, and some students have returned to the countryside after a holiday. Jiang Feng did not disappoint everyone, symbolically stir-fried two plates of S+-grade silk yam, so that everyone could open their eyes and appetize by the way.
At the same time, it can also drive the business of Tai Fung Building.
Jiang Feng didn't believe it, after tasting what she fried herself, she clearly told everyone that the price was controlled within 100 yuan of S+-grade silk yam, and those old classmates who worked in Peking could still control not going to Taifeng Building to eat next year.
Of course, he won't tell everyone that less than $100 is $98.
I won't tell you about the dish of pulling silk yams, and if you want to eat it, you really have to rely on your strength.
Overall, although the class reunion is quite boring, because everyone has not been in touch for many years and has no common topic, basically there is nothing to talk about, but it is not so boring, after all, it must be a happy thing for old classmates to meet, not to mention that Jiang Feng himself is the center of this class reunion.
How can you be bored when you listen to others touting yourself?
Jiang Feng also watched "Zhiwei" again this morning.
The junior high school reunion in the evening ended very early, probably because of the Chinese New Year's Eve, many people came out at night to have a meal, and when they went home, they had to have another meal with their families.
The dinner place was very close to Jiang Feng's community, and there was no need to take buses and taxis, so Jiang Feng walked back, and happened to bump into Pan Ling and Chen Xiuxiu, who had come back from buying vegetables from the supermarket, at the entrance of the community.
Chen Dusleeve is very busy every year, basically traveling in other places, and sometimes even can't rush back until the Chinese New Year's Eve. On Chinese New Year's Eve, it is normal for Chen Xiuxiu to buy vegetables and cook by herself at home, but how could Pan Ling be with her.
"Jiang Feng, you're back too, when did you come back? I didn't seem to see you yesterday. Pan Ling greeted Jiang Feng warmly.
Jiang Feng glanced at the vegetables that Pan Ling was carrying, stale cabbage, white radish with a little bran, and half-dead shrimp, and at a glance, he knew that it was broken ribs with leftovers.
Sure enough, even in the past two years, Pan Ling's grocery shopping skills have not improved.
I just don't know if the cooking skills have been improved, the nightmare mutton soup from two years ago still remains in Jiang Feng's memory.
"Just arrived last night. Jiang Feng said, "Isn't it Chinese New Year's Eve today?" Why don't you go home for dinner?"
"My parents were sent abroad by the company this year, I don't want to go back to the countryside so early to my grandparents' house for the New Year, anyway, there is no one in Xiuxiu's house, and I live with Xiuxiu these days. Pan Ling explained.
Jiang Feng glanced at the hot pot balls and a pack of hot pot base in Chen Xiuxiu's hand, and asked, "You have all been cooking by yourself these days?"
"No, Xiuxiu and I are not very good at cooking, we both order takeout, but isn't it Chinese New Year's Eve today? Pan Lingdao.
Jiang Feng: ?
Eat bran sliced radish, half-dead shrimp and stale bok choy?
Jiang Feng glanced at Chen Xiuxiu.
Chen Xiuxiu replied to Jiang Feng's eyes that I was a social animal who was working overtime, and there was even a little resentment in her eyes, as if Jiang Feng was the culprit who made her work overtime.
Jiang Feng: ?
"What kind of hot pot to eat on Chinese New Year's Eve? My family made dumplings, I asked my dad to eat less of the two of you to eat dumplings at my house, and the hot pot will be eaten tomorrow." Jiang Feng invited the two to eat dumplings at home.
Pan Lin was about to refuse, saying that the ingredients were all bought, and the two of them would not bother eating hot pot at home.
As a result, Chen Xiuxiu immediately made a decision and stuffed the hot pot balls into Pan Ling's arms: "Great, we're welcome." Lingling, you take these back and put them in the refrigerator, I'll go to the supermarket outside to buy a bottle of vinegar, Uncle Jiang's house may not have vinegar. ”
"Jiang Feng, do you have vinegar at home?"
Jiang Feng was stunned, and subconsciously took out his mobile phone and wanted to send a text message to ask his father if there was vinegar at home, because Chen Xiuxiu may really be right, and there may be no vinegar at home.
Sure enough, as soon as Jiang Feng took out his mobile phone, he saw the WeChat message sent to him by Jiang Jiankang an hour ago, asking him to go to the supermarket to buy a bottle of vinegar - Jiang Jiankang and Wang Xiulian forgot to buy vinegar when they were shopping for vegetables this morning.
"No ......"
Chen Xiuxiu immediately walked out.
"Buy two more preserved eggs, my mother wants to eat preserved eggs!"
Chen Xiuxiu: < (???? ⊿????)??
