Chapter 175: Wonderful
This sentence sounded completely perfunctory to Qiu Yun, and she just wanted to ask, but she didn't expect the old lady to speak: "Xiaobing's words are right. I heard Lao Jiangtou say that this young man always brings review materials with him when he goes to work, and as long as he is free, he reads and memorizes them in the office...... Self-motivated......"
Qiu Yun was very surprised, she didn't carefully inquire about what the sissy would do when she was in the company, she imagined countless possibilities, but she really didn't expect the sissy to really endorse and review. "That's ......," Qiu Yun said.
The old lady continued: "That's right, now that times have changed, it's too early to talk about marriage at your age...... The little soldier wants to learn more while he is young, which is also responsible for the future, which is not a bad thing. You can just practice separately from now on...... Xiao Yun, after Xiuzhu retires in the future, Haifeng will also retire, and Haifeng's current position is left to you; Xiuzhu really wants to keep you by doing this, and you don't want to see outside. ”
Qiu Yun blushed, and hurriedly shook her head and said, "No! Didn't ......."
The old lady didn't dwell on this topic anymore, just stared at Qiu Yun for a while, and then said meaningfully: "Originally, the Shi family owed you, but now, the Shi family owes the little soldiers again......" After saying that, she shook her head alone and sighed: "Alas! This person, sometimes he just can't control himself, and when it comes to regretting it, it's too late......"
said something inexplicable about the sissy and the female man, but Qiu Yun was shocked by the old lady's sharp eyes, like sitting on pins and needles.
As if to really comfort Qiu Yun, the old lady took one of Qiu Yun's hands and put it on her hand, patted it gently, and said, "Xiao Yun, grandma likes Fei Fei and likes you too." Grandma is also a woman, and she knows that sometimes, once a woman chooses her own path, whether she wants it or not, sometimes she has to go on. Don't worry, no matter what happens, grandma is on your side, and no one can bully you, not Xiuzhu! Later, when I was wronged, I came to my grandmother......"
Qiu Yun, who was still a little nervous, listened to the old lady's words, but somehow, her heart suddenly softened, her nose was sour, and she leaned on the old lady's shoulder with red eyes and said, "Thank you, grandma...... Thank you, grandma......" and finally said in an inaudible voice: "I'm sorry......"
The old lady still patted the back of Qiu Yun's hand: "It's okay, it's okay......
And the sissy and the female man were watching in a daze, I didn't know what kind of dumb riddle was played between the old lady and Qiu Yun, but I just thought these two people were so strange.
After a while, Aunt Qian came over to greet her: lunch is ready.
The old lady got up with a smile, and then turned to the sissy and said, "Come on!" The young man came to the door for the first time, and the old woman didn't say such shabby words, and she was indeed well prepared today. Xiuzhu said that you are a local, so you should also like to eat seafood, right? The seafood home-cooked dishes made by Lao Zhou taste good, and both Xiuzhu and Haifeng like it. ”
"Then I must have a good taste today!" The sissy said politely.
The female man is looking forward to it even more. She doesn't know the craftsmanship of the "old Zhou" of the Shi family, and subconsciously, a cook who cooks for the old lady all day long suddenly makes seafood, and I'm afraid it's not very good. But when she heard that it was "home cooking", she looked forward to it even more. Therefore, local natives know that local seafood "home cooking" is not something you can eat in a restaurant.
Eating by the sea, such a city close to the canal and near the river and the sea, thousands of years of culinary evolution have made the cooking level of fish and shrimp of the "boiled women" here have reached the extreme. The same mandarin fish, even if it is also steamed, you can find ten home-grown "boiled women" from the street to steam it, and you can steam ten different flavors. Almost every cook's "home-cooked" seafood has a unique taste that belongs to that family. In this city, the hospitality is generally in the restaurant, and those who dare to generously invite the other party to the house for a "home cooking" must have upgraded from "home cooking" to "family cooking", and the mother-in-law has passed it on to her daughter and daughter-in-law for at least five generations......
Bypassing the partition, I saw a rectangular dining table, Aunt Qian helped the old lady to make it on the main seat, and then, another woman about the same age as Aunt Qian walked out of the kitchen with a food plate. The plate was large, but there were very few bowls and plates in it, a bowl of porridge, three kinds of vegetarian dishes, and a plate of assorted fruits, each of which was very small. The old lady's bowls, chopsticks, cups and plates are all her own special, not to mention precious, the bowls and plates are ordinary porcelain, with a Baishou pattern on them, and the chopsticks are also Baishou silver chopsticks.
Subsequently, the meals of the three sissies were also served, this time not on the plates, but on the ground. The three of them gave in, the sissy sat down on the old lady's right hand, and the female man and Qiu Yun sat on the old lady's left hand side with the sissy.
"Old Zhou, take a bottle of bar!" The old lady said very calmly, "To the young man." ”
The sissy was stunned, and hurriedly said politely: "No, no!" Aunt Zhou, don't bother! ”
The old lady was still very calm: "I haven't finished yet!" Eating seafood is easy to get upset, and no matter how good your body is, you can't stand it. Not only do you have to drink, but Xiao Yun and Fei Fei also drink a little rice wine. ”
This sissy is very clear, the old lady's generation, it seems that they generally don't like red wine, in their world, it is either white wine, rice wine, or rice wine, and there was originally beer, but many old people don't drink it anymore. The old lady doesn't drink alcohol herself, but she always has some wine for hospitality at home. There is no difference between high-end and low-grade hospitality wine of the Shi family, it is generally between one hundred and five hundred to two hundred wine, there are many varieties, every time a guest comes, it is taken at will, and there is nothing to pay attention to. Probably because most of the guests who came to the Shi family and still stayed for dinner were seniors of the old lady's age; Shi Xiuzhu and Ni Haifeng's guests were basically entertained in hotels outside.
After Lao Zhou answered, he went to the storage room under the stairs, and came out not long after, with an extra wine bottle and a small wine jar in his hand. The bottle is liquor, which can be seen everywhere in the supermarket; Small wine jars are not common, at least the sissy only feels familiar and can't say the name. The woman's eyes lit up, this small wine jar was rice wine produced by a local winery. This distillery was formerly an old state-owned factory, and it has no so-called long history, and it is just a distillery about the same age as Mrs. Shi. The main product of this distillery in the auction is peas, sorghum liquor, when the grain is short, it also developed a sweet potato liquor, and later the economic situation improved, once made Jiangmi wine and rice wine.
Later, the state-owned factory collapsed inexplicably, probably because it would not put gold on its face, could not make up its own long history, and could not advertise. After the private winery, the winery began to play with the blending, and the wine was suddenly much cheaper, and the sales volume increased; While expanding its production capacity, the distillery also buys home-brewed sake from farmers from the countryside. The self-brewed wine is all puree, without blending, and this small jar is filled with this kind of Jiang rice wine that has not been blended, without sugar and flavor.
Shuai Xiaobing's family was at the time of the founding of the People's Republic of China, and he moved here from other places in the mine, and he had no relatives in the countryside.
Lao Zhou opened the liquor and slapped the mud seal of the wine jar.
The sissy still wanted to be polite, but looking at the dishes on the table, the words shrank back.
It's a feast. Only the natives understand the feast, if it was before, the sissy can't understand it at all, but after the body exchange, the sissy followed Ai Lili and the female man around to eat seafood too many times, and the layman has become a connoisseur, and if Ai Lili doesn't take him to eat, as long as it is in one area, although it may not be the most expensive, but it must be the best taste. The mouth of the sissy has been fed by Arilie. Today's table of dishes, just one glance, the sissy knows that this Aunt Zhou did not get up in vain this morning, the ingredients are top-notch, the knife skills are also top-notch, and then look at the color of the dishes, there is no doubt that the cooking methods are also top-notch. There are a few dishes that will even appear on the tables of citizens and will never appear on food recipes, and the sissies have finally seen it.
Seeing the details on the sissy's expression, the old lady smiled and nodded, turned her head sideways and said to Aunt Zhou: "Old Zhou, you haven't lost this skill." The soldier is a local, and he knows the goods! ”
"Then I'll fill the guest with a glass!" Aunt Zhou prepared two or two cups for the sissy, which was not big, not to mention a full cup for the sissy.
The sissy immediately got up and thanked her, but she picked up her wine glass: "First wish Grandma Jiang a long and healthy life!" Then he drank it all without changing his face.
"Good! I'll sell an old ......" The old lady didn't get up, but just picked up the water glass beside her, signaled, and took a shallow sip. And Aunt Zhou immediately filled a cup of the sissy cannon. After seeing it, the old lady bowed slightly and said, "It's okay, Lao Zhou, Lao Qian, you can eat too, you are not outsiders...... Xiaobing, don't see outside, Fei Fei and Xiao Yun know, Lao Zhou and Lao Qian said that they were our nannies, but they were actually chatting with me to relieve boredom, they are not outsiders......"
"I understand! I know! The sissy immediately picked up the wine glass and said, "The two aunts have worked hard!" With that, he drank it all again, and then filled himself with another glass.
"Alas! Alas! "Thank you! Thank you! The two old men also hurriedly picked up their water cups and responded.
The old lady still looked light: "Okay, Xiaobing eat two mouthfuls of food, these two cups are almost half a catty, and the stomach is still empty, how can this work?" ”
The sissy hurriedly responded, picked up the chopsticks and began to eat. After only one taste, his eyes immediately lit up, and after slowly swallowing the food in his mouth, he put down his chopsticks and drank a small sip of wine, and then said, "Tai...... It's so exciting! ”
"Wonderful?" Qiu Yun couldn't help but ask, "Is it delicious or not?" ”
However, the old lady and the two old men already had a kind smile on their faces. Nothing else, "wonderful" is a special adjective for locals. The local dialect is very different from the provincial accent, Shuai Xiaobing because his ancestors are "outsiders" and he has been a soldier for several years, so the accent is closer to Mandarin, and today's sissies can imitate almost the same, and this adjective unique to the local people is naturally learned by the sissy and Ai Lili after mixing for a long time; Qiu Yunna didn't know at all.
