Chapter 54: Shabu-shabu

The sea looked at Jiang Yuanxin, who was not very old, but he was already a little trembling when he walked, and suddenly he didn't hate this Jiang Er's uncle so much in his heart, yes, who hasn't had a difficulty? No matter how disgusting this person is, but when it comes to pity, there will always be people who will have pity, probably this is the true meaning of "at the beginning of people, nature is good".

The sea drove the pickup truck back to Hanwanzi, to find Jiang Ping was not at home, that kid was on duty yesterday, and now he is still under the bed, and next to him is still lying Zhao Shouqian, who came back from the night. Jiang Pingniang is also full of red face because of her son's pragmatism and the pleasing change of sheep recently. When I saw the sea, I asked if the sea was busy, so the sea had to stop calling Jiang Ping first, leaning on the edge of the kang and chatting with Jiang Pingniang.

Jiang Pingniang and her mother are very familiar with each other, and these two old men have nothing to say and often chatter, so about the matter of Erhai, Jiang Pingniang is one of the only few people who know.

After Jiang Pingniang finished asking if she was busy, her voice was very low and said: "Dahai, you have to take care of Erhai, don't let the child do anything out of the ordinary." ”

The sea is very annoyed that others are mentioning Erhai to himself at the moment, and out of the friendship between the two families, he can only nod and respond: "I know, the eldest lady is fine, and I will take it." ”

Jiang Pingniang said again: "I told your mother, Jin Leizi Niang is unreliable, you still have to make plans early, and then find someone to ask." ”

The sea listened, raised his head and looked at Jiang Pingniang, and asked with his eyes, what's wrong?

So Jiang Pingniang recounted what the sheep changed and said to herself, and the sea was also surprised when she heard it: "And this is the case? For a meal of oil cake, let my niece come on a fake blind date?"

Jiang Pingniang also said angrily: "It's not okay, think about it, how many matchmakers she has said, and how many have become them, they all count." ”

The sea was chilled when he heard this, thinking that it was okay that Jiang Ping and the sheep had become a couple, so he told Jiang Pingniang that he had something to do with Jiang Ping, and called Jiang Ping, who was asleep.

Jiang Ping's sleepy eyes were hazy and saw that it was the sea, and when he turned over and wanted to sleep again, the sea hurriedly said: "It's Ergang who is looking for you to have something."

"What?" Jiang Ping turned over and stopped sleeping after hearing this, and asked the sea: "What's the matter with Ergang looking for Ne?" The sea was angry, and secretly scolded Jiang Ping for losing the character of this force sooner or later.

The sea told Jiang Er about Jiang Ping's explanation, and asked Jiang Ping to inquire about the recent situation of his uncle Jiang Yuanxin in the official kiln, and gave Jiang Er a message.

Jiang Ping heard that it was easy, Jiang Yuanxin had met with him in the mine, and he had a chat, as if he was in the mining team, and he could inquire in the mining team, and he would send a letter the day after tomorrow. Then he asked the sea if he had driven the pickup truck, and the sea said that there was a stop at the door, and Jiang Pingjue didn't make up for it, so he got up, and said to his mother that he was going out to find a sheep to change, and then pulled the sea and said, "Dahaigang, let's go, let's take Ne out for a walk." "It doesn't matter if the sea agrees or not.

The sea had no choice, so he could only leave the hospital and start the car, and suddenly thought of something in the car, and hurriedly asked Jiang Ping: "Hey, Jiang Ping, are there a lot of little girls in the units for sheep exchange?"

Jiang Ping listened to it and began to show off: "It's too much, it's not an exaggeration to say that the sucking (beautiful) women in the seven counties and four districts are all grinning." ”

The sea listened to Jiang Ping's exaggeration, but he thought about it a lot, so he said, "Jiang Ping, are you going to find a sheep to change?"

Jiang Ping said with a hippie smile: "Ah, why else do you take the guard car, hurry up and send Ne to the station, save some legs." ”

Dahai pondered for a while and said, "Jiang Ping, at noon, will you exchange dinner with the sheep?"

Jiang Ping looked at the sea in surprise, the sea is a diligent and thrifty person on weekdays, needless to say, he is righteous, but this spending money is still quite picky: "The sea, what's the matter, right?"

Dahai held the steering wheel with one hand, and slapped Jiang Ping's arm with the other: "You kid, you were still called the post just now, change your words now, if you like to eat or not, get out of the car and ask for eggs." Then he pulled over to the side of the road.

Jiang Ping's smile changed quickly: "Hey, why did Dahaigang say that he would turn his face, like Ne Niang, hey, hey, let's drive there?"

Dahai listened and started the car again, didn't speak, to deal with Jiang Ping, he had to be hard and then soft, passing by the repair shop, Dahai called out Chunling in the car, took a hundred yuan, and said that he ate outside at noon, and he didn't have to wait for me.

For Chunling, the two most reassuring men in the world, one is the father, the other is the sea, the sea has always been a surplus money in his hands, how much he needs to take with himself, in recent months, and her husband's family has co-operated this maintenance station, and can earn thousands of dollars every month, the sea is all in charge of itself, of course, when the sea asks for money, he never asks where the money is, probably this is the husband and wife in the eyes of the world.

Dahai took the money and drove a pickup truck to the carpet factory in Shilidian, and Dahai parked the car at the gate of the factory. It was already past eleven o'clock, and the women who had begun to finish their work scattered had left the carpet factory, and the sea lit a cigarette and began to stare at these women without shying away from it.

The scattered female workers could see the persistent gaze of the sea, and after being stared at for a long time, they began to avoid the sea, guarding against the sea as a thief, and despising it.

Jiang Ping also began to laugh when he saw the sea: "Shouting and shouting, I didn't see it, Dahaigang, you are very flowery, aren't you afraid that Chunling's sister-in-law will scold you when you go back?"

The sea didn't pay attention to Jiang Ping, but said, "Get out of the gang and ask for a distance!" and then continued to scan the women who came and went.

It didn't take long for Yang Chang to finally get off work and run out with a dust-proof little white round hat, as if he expected Jiang Ping to come. Jiang Ping also hurried up to greet him, the two of them shook hands enthusiastically, and the sea thought that if there was no one around now, would the two of them kiss each other on the street. So he also greeted him, walked up to him and said, "Hey, hey, it's okay, there are still people around!"

The sheep changed, and then I realized that the sea was also coming, so I lowered my head embarrassedly and said: "Dahaigang, why are you here, I didn't see it." He bowed his head in shame as he spoke.

The sea joked: "There is only a little lover in your eyes"

The sheep changed into a big red face in an instant, and kept beating Jiang Ping with his hands, asking Jiang Ping to quickly relieve the siege, of course Jiang Ping knew the meaning of the sheep change, and said to the sea: "Don't talk so much nonsense in Dahaigang, didn't we say that we want to go down to the restaurant, let's slaughter Dahaigang today." ”

The sea also stopped teasing the sheep for change, and then said, "Let you slaughter as you like today, let's go, get in the car!" Yang Changchang heard that he was going to go to the restaurant, so he asked Dahai Jiangping to wait for a while and ran back.

Because the sheep change is no longer renting an apartment, he stored the change of clothes in the factory workshop, which had to go out to eat, and ran back to change clothes.

The three of them got into the pickup truck of the sea, and the sea asked the sheep to change where there was a better restaurant, don't save money, so the sheep changed the way and led everyone to a shabu-shabu shop "Chang Lai Shun".

The shabu-shabu of Yanbei is different from the hot pot in the south, although they are all shabu-shabu, but the soup and sauce, as well as the side dishes of the pot are different, Chang Laishun is a time-honored shabu-shabu shop in Yanbei, the simple and heavy single-barrel copper hot pot, with charcoal in the middle, the red of the small fire, the main mutton in Inner Mongolia, supplemented by assorted ingredients, the ingredients of the whole pot are served together, within five minutes, the soup will roll out of the pot, first eat the half-cooked ingredients inside, such as meatballs and roast meat, etc., and wait for the soup to grunt for five or six minutes, the vegetables, mushrooms and other ingredients in it can be eaten, and the dishes are almost eaten, the soup at this time is the most flavorful, and then the hand-cut mutton rolls, dipped in a sesame oil bowl of leek flowers, or sesame sauce, only incense can no longer describe its deliciousness.

Eating shabu-shabu in winter is the best season, the three of them ordered an assorted copper pot, the food was hot, the sea wanted to drive, so there was no wine, but Jiang Ping drank beer by himself, the sea picked up Jianlibao, and the sheep exchanged and gestured to touch the glass, and said: "Change, it stands to reason that you are not engaged yet, but the person on duty can't wait to invite the two of you to have a happy dinner." ”

Sheep exchange and the sea on weekdays also have a lot of contact, feel that the sea is a reliable gang, happily lift Jianlibao also touched: "Thank you Dahaigang." ”

The sea said again: "Gang said first, Gang wants to invite you to a happy meal, but this meal is not a happy meal, this meal, it is Gang who wants to ask his younger brothers and sisters to help." ”

Jiang Ping took a ball, immediately put the ball in his mouth, and was not afraid of burning his tongue, so he said anxiously: "Take a look, you know that there is a problem with this meal in the sea, and you can't eat it in vain, what's the matter?

Dahai Chong Jiangping glared at him and said, "Shut your mouth, can't hot rice burn your mouth?" and then said softly with the sheep: "Change, I have to help you in this matter." ”

Yang Changchang said a little shyly when he heard this: "Dahaigang, you say, as long as you can help, you can help." ”

When the sea heard this, he said with joy on his face: "Change, look, there are so many female workers in your factory, are there any people who are good with you?"

Yang Changchang smiled and said: "Dahaigang, I still think it's a big deal, this is a good thing, it's easy to say, but as long as Dahaigang doesn't dislike them for being a rural hukou, there are many good girls." ”

Dahai was quite happy to hear this, and felt that he had gone the right way, so he hurriedly pushed the whole plate of hand-cut knurled mutton into the copper hot pot, and respectfully changed the lamb for more food......

After Jiang Er called Jiang Yuanxin back, he was in a very conflicted mood, thinking that he didn't have to bother with him, but there seemed to be a voice in his heart that kept shouting: "He's your uncle, he's your uncle......" So he called the sea back, Jiang Yuanxin was just having trouble finding himself, and he was short of money, so he asked the sea to give Jiang Yuanxin a few dollars first, and he had the opportunity to go back and fight famine for the sea.

By the time the matter on the other end of the phone was finished, it was past ten o'clock, and it was already too late to set up a stall, so it seemed that I had to take a holiday today.

When Jiang Er returned to his shop, Dalin was receiving a middle-aged man, and Dalin saw that Jiang Er was back, so he said to the man: "Master Ne is back, you can talk to Master Ne." As he spoke, he shouted: "Ergang, this big post has something to do." ”

It turned out that this man was an old resident of Sandaopo, and the family had built three new main houses, thinking that the beams of the house had been put on recently, and he came to ask the second house to choose a good day.

Jiang Er listened and settled the man into the back room, and asked the man where the old house was in which direction the new home was located, and the man told Jiang Er, Jiang Er thought about the lower position in his heart and said to the man: "Dagang, there are good days on the beam, there are many." But ah, I suggest that you don't go on the beam in the near future, this cold winter wax moon, the sinkhole has been transferred to the northeast corner, people have to be careful when moving the pot and stove, you are not very good on the beam at this time. ”

The man said: "There are too many livelihoods at home on weekdays, and they are even busier in the spring, thinking that there are no crops now, and there is no need to go out to work, so I want to do the family's livelihood first, and Mr. Xiao will show you the date first, and the auspicious day of the zodiac will be fine." ”

When Jiang Er heard this, he still shook his head and said: "Dagang, it's not that you don't make money, you are on the beam at this time, and you are guilty of a big taboo, and you can't make it!"

The man saw that Jiang Er was decisive, and he didn't ask much, turned his head and left, and muttered in his mouth: "What kind of second house do you don't have the ability?" Dalin was close, and he heard it really, but he didn't have a seizure, and when the man walked away, he asked Jiang Er: "Ergang, why don't you do this deal." ”

Jiang Er smiled: "Dalin, there are some things that some people don't believe in, and they think that looking at the days is just a good omen, and they don't pay too much attention to it, in fact, there is a lot of knowledge here, and you will understand it slowly in the future." ”
