Chapter Eighty-Four: The Silver Bracelet is Exchanged for the Jade Bracelet
The next day, it was a fine sunny day. Before six o'clock, Qi Jingtao reluctantly got up from the bed, left Su Min, who was still sleeping in the spring of begonias, and came to the South Gate Farmers' Market. He came to the seafood morning market to buy the seafood products that were planned for today's grandma's birthday party.
In the inland province of central Yunnan, there is no problem if you want to eat mountain delicacies, but eating seafood is not a good choice. The seafood trafficked to central Yunnan is all transported by air, and tossing to central Yunnan has long been tossed into the price of tofu and meat. Not to mention the price of seafood products, it is not always possible to buy the fresh seafood products you want.
Qi Jingtao, who has money and is ready to use seafood at his grandmother's birthday banquet on a whim, has to hurry up and try his luck at the only place in central Yunnan where seafood is sold, and see what seafood products the aquatic market can offer today.
Come to the aquatic product area of the South Gate Farmers' Market, there are already people coming and going, most of the people who come to buy seafood and aquatic products in the early morning are opening restaurants, and they are the big customers of the seafood market.
Fortunately, Qi Jingtao has limited knowledge, he can imagine, and the cinnamon fish, shrimp, crab, and scallops that he is going to use are all big road goods in seafood products, and most of them cannot be regarded as seafood in the strict sense at all. There is no shortage of supplies in the seafood market that he needs, and it is very fresh.
Qi Jingtao got his wish, and soon even the ingredients were purchased. I went to the meat area to quickly purchase the yellow beef I needed, and hurried back with the ingredients.
When I returned to my home in Chunxi Community, I saw that Su Min had already made breakfast and was waiting for him to come back, "Wife, get up!?"
"Husband, why don't you wake people up when you go out, it's too late to go, and it's bad if you make a mistake. Su Min complained and urged: "Come over and have breakfast, let's leave as soon as we finish eating." ”
Qi Jingtao looked at Su Min, who was wearing a pink shirt and jeans and casual shoes, looking slimmer and slender, and said, "Hehehe, it's not that I want you to sleep more." Hey, why don't you wear that new dress you bought?"
"It's the clothes that make it easy to work. When I go home, I can't just sit still, right? Besides, it's convenient to ride a motorcycle later. Su Min brought him breakfast, and said his reasons with a smile.
"It's really inconvenient to wear a skirt and ride a motorcycle, but it's also beautiful. Hehehe, my wife's figure is a clothes rack, and she can wear anything. ”
"I want you to say, eat quickly, hurry up. Su Min gave him a blank look, sat down and urged Qi Jingtao while eating.
The two hurriedly finished their breakfast and rode their motorcycles to their hometown.
Hurry up and hurry, it was already past eight o'clock when I came to Qi Guanying's hometown. People were already busy killing chickens, ducks and sheep inside and outside the yard of the house, and the cousins and aunts of the nearby branch family took the initiative to come over early to help with the work, as in previous years. Everyone is busy at the well outside the house, cleaning the slaughtered chickens, ducks and sheep, as well as all kinds of vegetables, mushrooms, and ingredients to be used this morning.
Seeing the fashionably dressed and slim glasses girl who came back from riding a motorcycle with Qi Jingtao, got out of the car and was curiously looking around, the people who helped looked at her with a smile.
Qi Jingtao parked the motorcycle, quickly took out his cigarettes, and went to the well to scatter cigarettes for the uncles and brothers who came to help. While handing out cigarettes, he said with a smile: "Uncle and aunt are here early, smoking and smoking." ”
"Hahaha, Xiaotao, bring your daughter-in-law back to celebrate your grandmother's birthday, when will you invite us to eat candy?"
Qi Jingtao smiled and said loudly: "Hehehe, her name is Su Min, and she came here for the first time today." Hehehe, the third uncle brought a few pots, and I raised these fish and shrimp, and they were still alive. ”
"Shout, this year, Xiaotao brought his daughter-in-law home to celebrate her birthday, and we also followed the blessing, Zhenghai, to vacate those big pots. Qi Zheng was carrying water from the well in the east, and at the same time instructed his cousin, who was feathering the ducks.
Qi Jingtao took out bags of seafood from the satchel on the rear frame of the motorcycle, and cooperated with his uncles and aunts to place these parallel goods.
Su Minqiao stood next to the motorcycle with a blushing face, looking at the uncles and aunts who were doing the work in her hands and watching her laugh in a friendly way and making fun of Qi Jingtao.
Fortunately, Qi Lin and Qi Wen, sisters who heard the voice, ran out of the yard to greet them: "Brother and sister are back!"
When Su Min heard this, she turned around and looked at the two young and beautiful girls who had just appeared, and asked, "You are Qi Lin and Qi Wen, right?"
"You are Sister Su Min? I am Qi Lin, she is Qi Wen, one year younger than me, and she is in her second year of high school this year! Qi Lin stepped forward happily and took Su Min's hand and walked home.
Su Min turned around and flushed the uncles and aunts by the well and smiled, before following Qi Lin and Qi Wen into the courtyard with a smile.
When Qi Jingtao arranged the seafood and sent some of the ingredients cleaned by his uncles and aunts to the kitchen, Su Min had already integrated into it. The kitchen is chef by Shi Lei's father, Shi Yongqing, and his parents and Su Min help the kitchen, which is busy and orderly, and he is happy.
Seeing Qi Jingtao coming in with a large basin of washed and peeled ingredients, Su Min, who was preparing seafood seasoning, looked up at him, and ordered with a smile: "Ah Tao, the seafood you bought, make boiled shrimp, spicy crab, and steamed cinnamon fish in the morning." In the afternoon, make saltwater shrimp, spicy crab, and barbecue scallops. You can just send me the shrimp, crabs, and cinnamon fish that you will need in the morning. ”
"You're going to do it?" Qi Jingtao asked in surprise.
"Can you eat what you made? Su Min will do it, you go and do it. Qi Zhengming, who was swinging a knife to cut the duck, said to his son with a smile.
"I've never cooked, so don't pretend to be a big-tailed wolf, Su Min didn't come to see how you ended up today. Chen Huifen, who was cutting the condiment, also counted her son with a smile.
"Hahaha, today I also learned how to cook seafood. I'll do it later, Chef Su Min. Uncle Shi Yongqing also joked happily.
What is the situation? I am my own son, why was I marginalized so quickly? Qi Jingtao looked at Su Min, who was smiling at him proudly, grinned, and obediently withdrew from the slightly crowded kitchen.
When he came to the courtyard, Qi Lin, who was placing candy with Qi Wen, grimaced at the old brother with sympathy, leaned over to the old brother and whispered: "Brother, this is the future sister-in-law, right? Look at it, it took a lot of effort, and it was all bought. Hehe, only the old sister is still with you. ”
"We were originally a gang, and you still want to rebel?" Qi Jingtao scratched his sister's nose and went out to sort, peel, peel, and wash fish, shrimp and crabs with peace of mind.
As time passed, relatives arrived one by one. By noon, the guests had arrived. Upstairs and downstairs at home, the yard was full of banquets, and the juniors also went to the hall in batches to pay their respects to the old birthday star.
After cooking the seafood from the kitchen, when Su Min, Qi Jingtao, and Qi Lin went to pay their respects, a litter of cousins and cousins went to watch the new sister-in-law in the future.
Grandma sat in the hall with a smile, and after kneeling with her grandchildren with a loving face, she obediently took out a pair of silver bracelets as a birthday gift and helped her put on Su Min. Grandma was so happy that she couldn't see her eyebrows, and after giving her grandchildren a red envelope, she pulled Su Min to her side, took out a jade bracelet from her pocket, and put it on Su Min's right wrist.
