Yang Ming came out of his room with a bucket and a rag: "Who came just now?"

"Sam, said that her niece and daughter-in-law wanted to come to our store to do things, and I agreed. Wang Xiaoming said with a smile, he was in a very good mood, he couldn't recruit people before, and now someone takes the initiative to find something to do in their store, which is a big progress.

Yang Ming said: "I also have to have an interview, and my image is also very important. ”

Wang Xiaoming smiled and said, "I've seen it, it's not too bad." We even used Eminem, what else do young girls have to pick from. ”

Yang Ming glanced at him helplessly: "Eat hot pot at noon, don't cook." ”

Wang Xiaoming readily agreed: "Okay, I haven't eaten hot pot for a long time." "To be precise, I haven't eaten it all winter, because I'm too busy, I don't have time, and the big winter is sitting around the fireplace, steaming, not to mention how delicious.

Yang Ming said: "I'll make soup as a base. ”

Wang Xiaoming thought about the hot pot base that Yang Ming had never shown his hand, so he couldn't help but move his index finger, he didn't know what it would be like, just thinking about it was about to drool.

Wang Xiaoming went to the kitchen to help wash the vegetables, and Yang Ming hung the broth with the old hen and lean pork. First, the raw materials are boiled in water to remove the blood foam, then added cold water to boil, skim off the foam, add green onions, ginger, cooking wine and other ingredients, turn off the low heat and simmer, maintain the soup noodles in a small boiling state, can not be overheated, low heat can ensure that the soup is clear and not turbid, and the fragrance is rich. Yang Ming thinks that this kind of clear soup is not enough, chop a piece of chicken into a minced chicken state, and then put it into the soup that has been hanged, change the heat to stir until it will not boil, and then turn off the low heat and simmer, wait for the impurities in the soup to be absorbed by the minced chicken, filter off the chicken with a gauze towel, and leave the clear soup, this is the hanging stock, do it again and again, it is the double hanging soup, such a soup is used to cook the most superlative dishes, clear but not light, strong fragrance and attractive.

You can imagine how delicious it is to use this stock to serve in a hot pot. Someone came in from outside and sniffled: "Wow, are you doing Buddha jumping over the wall again?"

Wang Xiaoming went out to take a look, it was a neighbor's grandmother: "Grandma, it's a New Year's greeting, come into the house and sit." It's not Buddha jumping over the wall. ”

Grandma looked at Wang Xiaoming and looked at the room again: "Xiao Ming is cooking? ”

Wang Xiaoming smiled and said, "In the soup." A friend is coming over in a moment. ”

Grandma looked at Wang Xiaoming, wanted to speak and stopped, and finally said: "Xiaoming, you ......"

At this moment, Yang Ming called out in the kitchen: "Boss, help me answer the phone." ”

Wang Xiaoming turned his head and smiled at Grandma: "Grandma, I'll go and get busy first, you sit first, drink tea and eat melon seeds." ”

Grandma nodded: "Okay, you go get busy first." ”

Wang Xiaoming ran to the kitchen to pick up the phone, it was Zhong Yanhong who called, saying that he had arrived on the island and was at the pier, and asked him to pick him up. Wang Xiaoming hung up the phone and rode a tricycle out to pick up people.

Zhong Yanhong came to visit the New Year this time, and brought a lot of things over, good wine and cigarettes, and some imported sweets and the like, which looked really like he came to pay New Year's greetings, he said that others honored him, and he just borrowed flowers to offer Buddha.

Wang Xiaoming picked someone back, Wang Ergou and Wang Bing also came back, the uncle and nephew took a lot of red envelopes, and were tearing down the red envelopes to count the money, and the neighbor's grandmother didn't leave, Wang Xiaoming knew that she had something to say, so he hurriedly came over to say hello.

Grandma looked at Wang Xiaoming, and then at the brightly dressed Zhong Yanhong who he brought in, and said with a smile: "Xiaoming, Grandma came to tell you a good thing, my mother's family has a niece and granddaughter, who is two or three years younger than you, has worked outside for a few years, she is quite delicate, she is a very diligent and thrifty girl, and her temper is good, if you agree, meet with her, do you think it's okay?"

As soon as Grandma's words came out, several people in the room were stunned, including Wang Xiaoming, Wang Ergou and Zhong Yanhong. Wang Bing didn't understand, Yang Ming didn't listen in the kitchen, so he didn't react.

Wang Xiaoming's face suddenly showed an embarrassed look, he thought that Grandma was here to ask for a job, but he didn't expect it to be this matter: "Grandma, I, I didn't think about this." ”

Grandma smiled so much that the chrysanthemums on her face bloomed: "I didn't think about it before, but now I can think about it, you are 25 years old this year, not young, you see that my Ah Zhong is two years younger than you, and he is already a father." There is no woman in your family, so it's not like talking. Your father is gone, your mother doesn't care about you, our villagers are going to worry about you. ”

Wang Xiaoming was silent, after Luo Yufen got married, he was sad for a while, and he also knew that he couldn't marry a wife for a while, so he didn't think about it for the time being. Last year was his natal year, and it was also during the Spring Festival, his eldest aunt came over and said that she wanted to introduce him to a girlfriend, and the other party did not dislike his family debts, nor did she dislike him with a child, the woman was three years older than him, and she couldn't see with one eye, Wang Xiaoming directly rejected at that time, he was only in his early twenties, he was in the prime of life, and he was talented, just because the family was more difficult now, he should be disposed of as a disposer? Because of this incident, his eldest aunt was angry with him, and he didn't have much contact.

I didn't expect someone to introduce me to someone now, this time it doesn't sound like a disabled person, because the situation in his family has improved? But Wang Xiaoming really doesn't have the energy to talk about his girlfriend now: "Grandma, forget it, I still owe a lot of debts and have no money to get married." ”

Grandma smiled and said, "You have opened a store now, the business is so good, and the debts will be paid off slowly." You really need a woman to take care of the house, help you watch the children's laundry and manage the money, there is a woman to take care of the housekeeper, and the account will be paid quickly. Really, Grandma is a person from the past, experienced, not nonsense. If you get married at your age now, you can still find a suitable girl, and if you are older, there will be no good girl for you to choose in the future. ”

Zhong Yanhong couldn't help but laugh out loud on the side, and Wang Xiaoming was even more embarrassed: "Grandma, I don't want to worry about this problem for the time being, wait for two years to repay the debt, thank you Grandma for thinking about me, there is still something in the kitchen, I'll leave first." After that, I hurried to the kitchen.

Grandma said with some embarrassment: "Xiao Ming, this is embarrassing, what's so embarrassing about this, the man should get married and the woman should get married, and when she is old, she will always get married." Anyway, you can look at the people first. ”

Wang Xiaoming didn't look back, and ran away as if he was running away, leaving the rest of the grandma sitting there embarrassed. Wang Ergou said: "Grandma, my brother will find it himself, don't worry about your old man." ”

Grandma looked at Wang Ergou: "Does your brother have someone you like?"

"I don't know about this, I can't control my brother's affairs. Wang Ergou didn't expect Grandma to ask about herself, so she quickly shook her head and denied it. He felt from his brother's attitude towards the matchmaker that his brother's statement that he would pay off his debts first and then talk about marriage was just an excuse, and in fact, he didn't have the heart to have a girlfriend now.
