Chapter 506: Hero's Banquet
Grandma Jiang's memory is like water in a sponge, it will disappear if you squeeze it gently, and it will evaporate naturally if you don't squeeze it.
Jiang Feng and Grandma Jiang walked all the way, and Grandma Jiang read all the way, and after Jiang Feng finished buying the flour, Grandma Jiang was still chanting her Mo He Ke as if she was reciting a spell, and she didn't stop until she was in the time-honored store that sold braised goose.
"The boss takes a braised goose, no need to chop, wrap it tightly. ”
The owner of the lo mei shop that sells braised goose is quite old, and the store can only pay in cash and cannot pay by mobile phone. Jiang Feng put his things down and began to take out cash from his pocket, the pockets of the down jacket were quite deep, and he didn't pay enough money several times.
Grandma Jiang stared thoughtfully at the braised goose in the glass window, not knowing whether she fell into contemplation when she stared at the braised goose or happened to stare at the braised goose when she fell into contemplation.
"Eh, Xiao Feng remembered. Grandma Jiang patted Jiang Feng excitedly, and almost slapped Jiang Feng, who was working hard to pay for it, on the ground.
Grandma Jiang practiced a good hand when she beat her five big fat sons in the early years, and this palm is not bad compared to other Jiang family members.
Jiang Feng just stood still, and the expression on his face quickly switched to surprise: "Grandma, do you remember, what is the name of the dish made by grandpa?"
"What do you call it, I remember why your grandfather and Master Huang made a whole sheep banquet that year!" Grandma Jiang was entangled with Jiang Feng's thoughts were not the same thing at all, "How did I forget this, look at my memory." It's really old that you can't remember, alas, old is old. ”
"Eh, Xiaofeng, what are you buying here? If you buy lo-mei, you can buy a braised goose by the way, I almost forgot about it, how can I not sell braised goose during the Chinese New Year." Grandma Jiang looked like she had just woken up from a dream.
Jiang Feng: ......
"Grandma, the braised goose was bought. Jiang Feng said helplessly, and the expression on his face quickly turned into curiosity again, "Why did Grandpa and Master Huang make a whole sheep banquet back then." ”
"That was decades ago, when your dad hadn't even given birth to me and I was just pregnant with your uncle. I don't remember what the specific reason is, anyway, it caused a forest fire, and many firefighters were injured in order to fight the fire, and it seems that a few were sacrificed. At that time, the radio, newspapers, and neighborhood offices were all discussing this matter, and it spread widely, and at first many people said that it was a deliberate arson, and some people said that it was a secret service, but later it was found out that it seemed to be an accident. Grandma Jiang said.
The boss had already packed the braised goose, and handed the money to Jiang Feng by the way, and when he heard Grandma Jiang talking about decades ago, he said casually: "You are talking about the forest fire 50 years ago, right?"
"50 years? ”
"You also know?" Jiang Feng asked.
The owner of the lo-mei shop was interested, put the packaged braised goose on the table, and began to talk to Jiang Feng: "How can I not know, I was in elementary school at that time, and this incident was a sensation." ”
"A sensation?" Jiang Feng was a little confused, "Was that forest fire serious?"
Although the area around Z City is mountainous, the trees are not dense, and there should be no place in Jiang Feng's memory that can be called a forest.
The owner of the lo-mei shop glanced at Jiang Feng and smiled: "You children can't imagine it, now that the living conditions are better and developed, it wasn't like this here before." ”
"At that time, mountains were mountain-by-mountain, woods and forests were everything, wolves were everywhere, and sometimes tigers could be seen. If the family lives in the mountains, they may not be able to go out of the mountains twice a year. The owner of the lo-mei shop said.
"Yes. Grandma Jiang nodded in agreement, "Xiao Feng, don't look at the mountain in front of your uncle's grandfather's village, there seems to be no trees on the mountain, and there are very few trees, originally the mountain was full of trees, and there were wolves in the forest." ”
"What about the forest fire?" Jiang Feng asked.
"It seems to be caused by dryness or something, anyway, it's not man-made, what the newspaper says. "I remember that at that time, our school teachers organized us to write letters to the firefighters who were fighting the fire, and later held a hero's banquet. I remember the hero's banquet clearly, the newspaper said that the city invited two chefs from the state-run hotel to organize it, and used more than a dozen sheep. At that time, mutton was more expensive, not to mention mutton, wool was expensive, and woolen sweaters were placed in the supply and marketing cooperatives, which could only be seen but not touched. ”
"Hero's Banquet?"
"Yes, the Hero's Banquet, at that time, our Chinese teacher also asked us to write an essay on the theme of the Hero's Banquet, what did I write? I remember that my essay was very well written, and then it was pasted on the wall of my house by my mother, what did I write?"
Jiang Feng and Grandma Jiang talked to the owner of the lo-mei shop and left with their things.
Jiang Feng didn't expect that the old man would serve as the chef of such an important banquet when he was young, and the most important thing was that the old man didn't say a word about this matter. If Jiang Jiankang had this experience, Jiang Feng estimated that he would be able to blow his grandchildren, that is, his own children were born.
"Grandma, why didn't you and grandpa ever tell us about this?" Jiang Feng couldn't help but ask on the way home.
Grandma Jiang, who only carried two bags of vegetables, was relaxed and said with a smile: "What is there to say about this kind of thing." ”
"This is an important feast, and the owner of the lo-mei shop remembered it fifty years ago, so of course it is worth mentioning. Jiang Feng looked solemn.
If he could undertake such a banquet now, he would like to pull a banner at the door of Taifeng Building.
"The important thing is that the person who eats the table is not the chef, what is there to say. Grandma Jiang disagreed, "If this can be taken out and said repeatedly, wouldn't your grandfather have to talk and talk about himself to death every day." ”
Jiang Feng looked confused.
"At that time, things were not as bad as you thought, they were all very common. At that time, the most powerful cooks in these cities near us were your grandfather and Master Huang, the reception leaders, and sometimes the reception of foreign guests, it was your grandfather and Master Huang who cooked, I remember that at that time, the next few cities would come to us to borrow people to cook. Grandma Jiang said.
"This kind of errand is usually gone by Master Huang, unless there are not enough people for your grandfather. ”
"Why?" Jiang Feng was puzzled.
"Although this kind of errand is fortunate on the road, there is an additional bonus, Master Huang is not in good health and has to take imported medicine, and their family can't afford to pay for medicine for a month. Saying that, Grandma Jiang sighed, "These things sound powerful, but that's actually what they are." Your grandfather and Master Huang looked beautiful back then, but in fact, each family had their own difficulties, and it was not easy. ”
Jiang Feng nodded thoughtfully.
"It's the same with ordinary life, how can there be so many great things, they are all ordinary little things. Grandma Jiang said earnestly, "Don't learn from your father and uncle, they brag all day long, and they can brag about every little thing." I don't know who I learned this problem from, and one by one I can't wait to blow the sky out. ”
Jiang Feng silently glanced at Grandma Jiang: ......
"We are all ordinary people, and Qiqi's family seems to have opened a store in Shudi like ours, and it is also an ordinary family. We ordinary people just have to live a good life, and when you get married in the future, you will understand. ”
Jiang Feng was originally nodding in agreement, but when he nodded, he suddenly felt that something was not right.
Ordinary people?
Wu Family Restaurant.
Tai Fung House.
Ordinary people?
Grandma Jiang continued early: "Actually, it's worth it when you're lucky when you're young and it's worth it when you're old, and ordinary people like us don't want anything rich and expensive, and being free of illness and disaster is the greatest happiness." Look at your grandmother Chen, knitting sweaters and raising pigs, playing mahjong with me every day, just be leisurely. ”
Jiang Feng: ???
Grandma, do you have any misunderstanding about these four words of ordinary people?
