Chapter 220: The Mansion in Washington (10)
Unexpectedly, as soon as Jiang Kai finished speaking, the long-bearded old man laughed and said, "Jiang Kai...... What you're eating now is the most famous dried tofu in Wuxi City! ”
"Impossible!" Jiang Kai denied it with certainty: "I have eaten Wu Xi's dried tofu, marinated, juicy and thick, not as chewy as the current one, I can only say that Wu Xi's dried tofu is suitable for the elderly and toothless people!" ”
"In fact, the most authentic Wu Xi dried tofu should be like this. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 The traditional process of info is artificially refined, baked directly on the baking pipe, just like what you eat now, full of toughness, endless aftertaste, is an excellent dish to accompany the wine. With the development of the industrial revolution, today's dried tofu production process has become an assembly line operation, boiling, coagulation, braining, wrapping, and soaking...... Although these have greatly increased the output and reduced the production cost, the taste has also changed greatly, and the name of Wu Xi dried tofu has mistaken the taste of a generation. The long-bearded old man said very professionally:
"Oh? If that's the case, then you'll have to tell me, where did you buy this dried tofu? I'll be sure of this one in the future! Jiang Kai said with a happy hand:
"You can't buy this dried tofu, it's made by my insiders, not only this dried tofu, but also this sauced beef, fried peanuts and the rice wine you and I drink, all of which are from my insiders." When the long-bearded old man said this, he all revealed a message of pride.
"Oops...... I really envy you, uncle! Jiang Kai looked at the food on this table, and the wine like elixir was actually from one person. Who doesn't appreciate such a virtuous help, and who doesn't like it?
"Can you see Auntie? I want to see her! Jiang Kai demanded:
"Hmm. My insiders also want to meet you, not only my insiders, but also my two daughters-in-law, they all want to meet you! Come on, call out the lady and the two heads of the house, and say that Jiang Da Benefactor wants to meet them! The bearded old man commanded:
I saw a servant standing by the side, and he took the order. After a while, there was movement in the back hall of the living room, and first the servant made an announcement. said that the lady and the two heads of the house had arrived. Jiang Kai looked up and saw a gray-haired old lady walking out with a high spirit, followed by two with solemn manners and extraordinary temperament. They first greeted the bearded old man. Finally, under the introduction of the long-bearded elder. They met Jiang Kai again.
Jiang Kai was also quite happy to see this knowledgeable person, and frequently praised the good craftsmanship of the lady, and the lady repeatedly pushed and said: "There is also the craftsmanship of our two good daughters-in-law, after all, I am old, and it is still difficult to cook a table of dishes!" ”
The three women said some polite words to Jiang Kai and returned to the back hall. At this time. The hot rice wine was brought up, and the long-bearded old man drank with Jiang Kai again. Jiang Kai had three glasses of rice wine in his stomach, he was in a lot of energy, and his mind was clear, seeing such an occasion, he suddenly felt a little familiar, and then he had the courage to ask: "Uncle, are you surnamed Hua?" ”
The long-bearded old man nodded his head, indicating acquiescence, no matter how confused Jiang Kai was, he should know that this scene was definitely a supernatural scene, "Uncle, you must have something to do with me, right?" Jiang Kai might as well ask straight to the point:
"No, no, no...... How could it be? I learned that my daughter found you and made a 'ghost deal' with you, so I would like to thank you very much! The long-bearded old man said calmly:
"Thank me? Uncle, what you said is serious! Your daughter Hua Weina and I each take what they need, to put it bluntly, we use each other to use each other, no thanks, no thanks! Jiang Kai shook his hand again and again and said:
"Hey...... Jiang Kai, you are not saying this! After we died, the net spirit remained here, except for the two sons who were buried outside, and could not be 'members' with them, but we were also happy. Except for the 'human and ghost transaction', we have no ability to go out, so Jiang Jian is considered to be our 'old neighbor', but he has no desire and no attachment, and the number of times he has done 'human and ghost trading' with us is only a handful. I fell in love with a man before I fell in love with a girl, and even after I died, I still remembered it, and I wanted to do a 'human and ghost deal' with Jiang Ji several times, but Jiang Ji categorically refused as soon as she heard the request, so my beloved daughter was depressed all the year round, and it was considered to have pulled down the lovesickness, this time, I don't know why Jiang Jia opened her eyes and brought you over, so that my beloved daughter could complete this wish. Our whole family must thank you. The long-bearded old man said excitedly:
"Can you only get out of this house when you're 'trading with ghosts'?" Jiang Kai heard the story of the long-bearded old man, and asked a little incomprehensibly:
"Of course! Wherever people die, as long as there is resentment, there will be haunting. This is the most common phenomenon, it is impossible for me to die in Beijing, to Wu Xilai haunted, that is unrealistic, this fact, proves that it is impossible for us lonely souls and wild ghosts to wander in all corners, there are only two possibilities, so that we have the opportunity to transfer: first, the transaction of people and ghosts; Second, resentment turns. The bearded old man said:
"I can understand the transaction of people and ghosts, what is the turn of resentment?" Jiang Kai asked incomprehensibly:
"In these years, there are various ways to exorcise evil spirits and avoid demons, as long as we move feng shui, or have an artifact to drive away evil spirits and avoid demons, then of course we will be driven away, and then we will truly become lonely ghosts!" Elder with long beard says:
was explained by the long-bearded elder, Jiang Kaifang understood. After a moment of drinking and chatting with the long-bearded elder, he got up and said: "Uncle Hua, since you know my 'human and ghost trade', you should know that I still have a lot of troublesome mundane things on me, and I don't dare to stay here for a long time, and I have to go out to see what is going on, and I am also anxious to know the progress of your daughter Hua Weina's handling of the matter, this matter must not be delayed, otherwise my future will be ruined......" Before Jiang Kai finished speaking, the long-bearded old man immediately interrupted: "Jiang Kai, don't want to be a mediocre person to disturb yourself!" My beloved daughter has completed your affairs properly, and then you only need to spend a month to find the person I love my beloved daughter to relieve her lovesickness! ”
"Uncle, are you sure that your beloved daughter Hua Weina has already done my business?" Jiang Kai felt a little surprised, and it felt a little unreal. Seeing that Jiang Kai still didn't believe his words, the long-bearded old man had to stand up, came to the side of the old well, pointed to the old well and said, "If you don't believe it, just look at the picture in this well!" ”
Jiang Kai hurriedly came to the side of the old well, stretched out his head to look, and saw that the well water in the well reflected his own reflection, and he couldn't see why, "Uncle, I will see my own reflection!" What else I don't see or can't see? Jiang Kai asked the long-bearded old man suspiciously:
The long-bearded old man grabbed a handful of fried peanuts and handed them to Jiang Kai, and said, "While eating peanuts, you can see everything you want to see immediately!" Jiang Kai saw that there was such a miraculous thing, so he stepped on the edge of the old well unhurriedly, while eating fried peanuts, while watching the changes in the old well, when Jiang Kai ate the last peanut left in his hand, the long-bearded old man suddenly pointed to the old well excitedly and said: "Jiang Kai, look, look!" See? See? Seeing that the long-bearded old man was suddenly so excited, Jiang Kai could only lower his head and carefully look at the changes on the surface of the well water again, but unfortunately, there was no other change on the surface of the well water except for the reflection of himself and the long-bearded old man. No......" Jiang Kai wanted to ask the long-bearded old man for confirmation again, but the long-bearded old man suddenly pushed Jiang Kai, "Let's go in......" The defenseless Jiang Kai suddenly stumbled and fell into the old well......
"Ah......" Jiang Kai let out a long cry and jumped up from the bed with a "snap", Jiang Kai looked around in horror, he was clearly in Jiang Jia's house, and he didn't fall into the old well at all. "Ah......" Jiang Kai breathed a long sigh of relief again and said to himself: "It turned out to be a dream!" Thinking back to the scene in the dream just now, there seemed to be a lingering aroma of rice wine and fried peanuts in his mouth, and just as Jiang Kai was about to get out of bed, he found that he was still holding a fried peanut in his hand......
