168. Playing side stoves
Li Weiwei clapped her hands happily, shook off the water droplets on her hands and asked Li Hui if a few boys wanted to buy test questions.
After receiving a satisfactory reply, Li Weiwei hummed a little song happily.
Seeing that the two little girls were satisfied because of a little thing, Lin Zichen sighed from the bottom of his heart that the two of them were too easily satisfied.
Li Ji and Gu Mingxuan, as people who came over, couldn't help but express some personal opinions when they saw this.
Li Ji said with a smile: "Actually, it doesn't matter whether it is the material that matches the text, as long as you know which aspect you are weaker in, and strengthen the review in that aspect during the winter vacation." ”
Gu Mingxuan nodded approvingly: "That's right." In fact, every time you finish the question, you can discuss your answer with your friends, because sometimes everyone's ideas are different, and you can learn more ways to solve the problem by communicating with each other. ”
Li Weiwei nodded in a few ways.
Li Ji and Gu Mingxuan told a few people about some methods of self-study, which benefited them a lot.
In the afternoon, the convenience store welcomed an unexpected customer.
The weather was cold, so Lin Zichen asked Li Weiwei and the others not to go back to school at night and spend the night here. So, Li Hui and several boys also clamored to stay.
Fortunately, there are three rooms on the second floor, and the two girls, Li Weiwei and Lin Axia, can squeeze a bed with Lin Zichen. Gu Mingxuan and Li Ji shared a room, and the remaining room was just for Gu Mingze, Li Hui, and Liang Jingchuan.
Without the worry that it would be unsafe to go back too late, and with a break tomorrow, the group of people happily continued to play poker.
A group of children were playing on the second floor, and Li Xin was alone on the first floor to watch the store, and when it was time, he reminded Lin Zichen and others to make dinner.
Suddenly I heard a knock on the door and thought it was someone who came to buy something, but when I opened the door, I felt a little familiar: "You are Xiao Chen's uncle, the one who came to pick them up last weekend." ”
Jiang Rong was surprised that Li Xin remembered himself, smiled and said, "Yes! You're Li Xin. Immediately, he was afraid that Li Xin would misunderstand and hurriedly explained: "Xiao Chen told me about you." ”
Li Xinming let Jiang Rong in.
Li Xin was alone when he entered the house, and Jiang Rong asked strangely, "Xiao Chen, aren't they there?" ”
Li Xin smiled and said, "It's cold, so they're playing upstairs." ”
Jiang Rong suddenly realized, and did not come up to find Lin Zichen and them, but looked at the store with Li Xin on the first floor, chatting a few words from time to time.
Jiang Rong saw Li Xin doing handicrafts while looking at the store, and couldn't help asking, "Has the business in the store been bad recently?" ”
Li Xin was stunned for a moment, and then saw Jiang Rong looking at the beads in his hand, and shook his head: "No, Xiao Chen said that if I feel bored when I look at the store alone, I can do something else, and I am not very good at doing anything else, so I picked up some manual work from a nearby factory to do, purely to pass the time when there is no one in the store." ”
Jiang Rong nodded and diverted the topic.
The two of you chatted with each other, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.
When Lin Zichen came down, what he saw was the two of them sitting side by side at the cash register, Li Xin lowered his head and beaded, and Jiang Rong whispered on the side.
For some reason, Lin Zichen's mind suddenly flashed the words "years are quiet".
In the end, it was Li Xin who found out that Lin Zichen had come down first, and pulled Lin Zichen back from his thoughts.
"Xiao Chen is down, your uncle is coming to look for you."
Lin Zichen came back to his senses and looked at Jiang Rong with frowns: "Uncle Jiang, what kind of wind blew you here?" ”
Jiang Rong was uncomfortable by Lin Zichen's explicit eyes, and he didn't know why Lin Zichen looked at him like this, so he had to smile and say stubbornly: "Didn't you say that I am welcome to come to eat at any time?" I'm just going to eat. ”
Lin Zichen put on an expression of "I don't believe it", but he didn't say anything explicit: "Then Uncle Jiang, you have a good mouth, let's go into the house and prepare to make a side stove." ”
"Sideburner?"
"What's a side stove?"
Jiang Rong and Li Xin both asked curiously.
"You'll find out later." Lin Zichen deliberately hung the appetite of the two.
"Fourth brother, it's time for us to go grocery shopping." Lin Zichen shouted upstairs.
Li Jizheng and Gu Mingze were playing cards with all their might, but Lin Zichen shouted and did not respond.
Seeing this, Gu Mingxuan shook his head speechlessly, put down the cards in his hand, and said to Li Weiwei and Lin Axia: "You guys play, I'll go grocery shopping with Xiao Chen, and let you taste something fresh tonight." ”
When the two of them heard that there was something delicious, they couldn't help nodding and waved their hands to signal Gu Mingxuan to go grocery shopping.
When Lin Zichen saw that it was Gu Mingxuan, he knew that Li Ji was playing happily.
Someone can help with the vegetables, Lin Zichen didn't bother who it was, carrying the vegetable basket, and walked with Gu Mingxuan to the nearest vegetable market in the cold wind.
Lin Zichen tightened the clothes on his body, and couldn't help muttering: "It seems that the matter of selling vegetables will be put on the agenda earlier." ”
"What's the schedule?" Gu Mingxuan saw Lin Zichen muttering and didn't know what he was talking about, so he asked.
Lin Zichen explained: "I plan to sell vegetables in the store. Didn't I buy two tables before, and I just planned to use one for food, but it hasn't been implemented until now. ”
"Then you see that the weather is cold now, and the residents around the convenience store are not very happy to go out to sell vegetables, so I remembered this again." Gu Mingxuan said with certainty.
Lin Zichen nodded.
"It's okay to tell Aunt Li about this, but in the future, Aunt Li may have to come to the vegetable market early to get vegetables. Aunt Li is a woman, will she be too tired? ”
Lin Zichen also frowned in embarrassment: "I also thought of this to plant vegetables in the backyard, but the vegetables have just been planted, and I have to wait more than a week to sell them." ”
Gu Mingxuan comforted Lin Zichen: "Take your time, there is always a process for everything, it's not good to be greedy." ”
"Are you indirectly scolding me for being a money addict?" Lin Zichen glanced at Gu Mingxuan.
Gu Mingxuan touched his nose and denied: "I didn't say that. ”
You don't say that, but that's what you think in your heart. Lin Zichen muttered in his heart, rolled his eyes at Gu Mingxuan, and quickened his pace.
The wind is so strong that I won't come to buy groceries next time. Lin Zichen secretly made up his mind in his heart.
It's just that she forgot that among the group of people in her family, she and Gu Mingxuan have the best cooking skills, and let others buy vegetables, and it is estimated that they can't buy the dishes she wants, so she can't escape this job.
The two came to the vegetable market, Lin Zichen took the lead, selected the ingredients, used his eloquence to bargain, and then paid with a smile and threw the vegetables to Gu Mingxuan behind him.
Gu Mingxuan followed behind Lin Zichen with a basket of vegetables, and his hard-working appearance made even the women who came to buy vegetables next to him blush.
This young man is dressed extraordinarily and has a noble temperament, and he is not a little impatient when he walks in a dirty place like the vegetable market, and if he is willing to come to the vegetable market to buy some food, they will burn high incense to thank their ancestors. This is the inner monologue of many women.
"Would you like some fresh shiitake mushrooms?" Lin Zichen picked up a mushroom and naturally turned around and asked Gu Mingxuan.
Gu Mingxuan had a light smile on the corner of his mouth, and there was a touch of imperceptible pampering in his eyes: "It's good if you like it." ”
"Then that's it." Lin Zichen turned around happily and began to bargain with the vegetable farmer.
"Uncle, you see that we bought so many of your mushrooms at once, you can give us a cheaper!" Lin Zichen barely squeezed his eyebrows and coquettishly looked at the uncle who bought vegetables.
Seeing this, Gu Mingxuan's face was full of black lines, and he was about to say that it was at this price, but the uncle who bought vegetables agreed to Lin Zichen's counteroffer.
"Uncle, you are so good, I wish you a prosperous business." Lin Zichen paid the money happily, carried a bag of mushrooms, and happily left the vegetable market with Gu Mingxuan.
Thinking of Lin Zichen's bargaining in the vegetable market just now, Gu Mingxuan couldn't help but sigh: "Why didn't I find out that you have a lot of tricks?" ”
Lin Zichen glanced at Gu Mingxuan, and said seriously: "I'm so eloquent, why did I become a trick in your mouth, and it's not too fun to buy vegetables without bargaining!" ”
"Okay, you have a point. Let's hurry back or you'll be frozen into popsicles later. Gu Mingxuan said helplessly.
Thinking of the howling cold wind on the road, Lin Zichen couldn't help but shiver, put up his collar, and tightened the clothes on his body before walking into the cold wind.
When the two returned home, Li Xin had already boiled hot water.
Li Weiwei and the others saw that the two of them were back, and they were busy helping to wash the vegetables.
"The washed dishes are served on plates. Fourth brother, you go and make a stove. Lin Zichen arranged everyone's work, went into the kitchen and began to cook the soup base.
There is a lot of strength in numbers, and it doesn't take long for the ingredients to be ready.
Gu Mingze and the boys moved the kitchen table outside, and Li Ji brought in the stove with a good fire.
Lin Zichen opened the window to keep the air circulating in the kitchen.
"Take the bowl and sit down, the soup base is here." Putting a pot of soup base on the stove, Lin Zichen and Li Ji began to add ingredients to the pot.
"Add whatever you want to eat to the pot, and when it's cooked, you can take it out and eat it." Li Ji explained.
Gu Mingxuan's brothers have eaten a side stove a few times at Li's house, and practice makes perfect, and they are constantly adding things to the pot.
When Li Weiwei and the others heard this, their eyes lit up and they began to put their favorite things into the pot.
"There's soy sauce and chili peppers here, so you can pour some into a bowl if you want." Lin Zichen raised the soy sauce bottle in his hand.
Jiang Rong looked at the fragrance constantly coming out of the boiling pot, and felt very novel: "I didn't expect there to be such a way to eat." ”
Li Xin also looked interested: "Yes, it's the first time I've seen it." ”
Lin Zichen replied with a smile: "Uncle Jiang and Aunt Li have seen it, playing the side stove is the most enjoyable in winter, a large group of people gather together, not only the food is hot, but also lively." ”
"Yes, I also told my parents to do this once during the Chinese New Year, it was lively and had an atmosphere." Li Weiwei said happily while eating the dishes in the bowl.
Lin Axia also nodded, indicating that she would also give it a try.
"Be careful of scalding, I bought a lot of vegetables and came back, I can eat slowly, and if I can't finish eating at once, I will continue to eat when I am tired of playing." Lin Zichen reminded a few people who swallowed dates.
"Can it still be like this?" Li Hui's eyes widened in surprise.
"Absolutely. If the fire in the stove is not extinguished, you can eat it all the time, and you can also bake the fire. Li Ji also said with a smile.
"Well, then I'm not afraid I won't have enough to eat." Liang Jingchuan finally slowed down.
"Hahaha." When everyone heard this, they burst out laughing.
"Aunt Li, you try this." Lin Zichen served vegetables to Li Xin.
Li Xin took it and said a little flattered: "I'll just come by myself, Xiao Chen, you can eat it yourself." ”
Lin Zichen smiled and sandwiched a lot of dishes for the others.
A group of people chatted while eating, and it was not until about nine o'clock in the evening that all the dishes were resolved, and they all ate until their stomachs were full. R1152
