Chapter 298: A Hearty Dish
Chapter 298 Hearty Dish
What Ni Jian said Jiang Tiandao felt furious in his heart, but he couldn't go back on what he promised, and he still followed Ni Jian to the rented place of the sisters and brothers at dinner.
The place where Ni Jia's sisters and brothers lived was not far from the regiment headquarters, and Jiang Tiandao and Duan Peng ran a few alleys to help find it. The landlord was an old lady in her sixties, and when she heard that the Eighth Route Army wanted to rent a house, she agreed without saying a word, and insisted on refusing to ask for rent.
And now, Ni Jia is busy in this house, and she has prepared a few exquisite side dishes in front of her, but she still enjoys it. It can be seen that she is in a very good mood, sitting on the dishes and singing at the same time, her white face is flushed.
"Girl, what kind of dishes did you cook today, so fragrant?"
The landlady smelled the fragrance, leaned in to take a look, and said curiously, "There is a distinguished guest today?" Cooked so many dishes. ”
Ni Jia raised her head and smiled: "Auntie, you know the Jiang Company Commander of the Independent Regiment, he saved the lives of me and Xiaojian, and I haven't had a chance to thank others, I just paid my salary today, and I invited Brother Jiang to my home for a meal." ”
The landlady nodded: "Okay, okay, girl, you did the right thing, let's learn about Entu as a person." ”
When Ni Jia was about to speak, a voice came from outside: "Sister, I'm back!" ”
Ni Jia was suddenly overjoyed, and hurriedly put down the things in her hand and was about to go out, but she looked at a mirror next to her, wiped a piece of greasy on her face, and then went out.
But as soon as she went out, she was stunned.
Only his younger brother Ni Jian came in from outside, and there was no figure of Jiang Tiandao.
Ni Jia's face was suddenly full of disappointment: "Why did you come back alone, Brother Jiang?" Isn't he coming? ”
Ni Jian looked at her: "What?" Isn't it a disappointment? ”
As he spoke, he squeezed past her and glanced into the kitchen, and suddenly his eyes widened: "Sister, are you crazy?" How to cook so many dishes, as well as fish and meat, your little salary is spent, right? ”
Ni Jia didn't feel good at the moment, and she didn't have the heart to answer his words at all, so she pulled him out of it: "You answer me first, why didn't Brother Jiang come, does he look down on us?" ”
Ni Jian twisted his face to look at her and shook his head.
"Then why didn't he come? Or do you hate that the food I cook is not delicious? Ni Jia was anxious, and without waiting for Ni Jian to speak, she asked.
Ni Jian smiled bitterly: "Sister, you think too much, Brother Jiang didn't say that he couldn't come, he just asked me to come back first, saying that he wanted to buy some wine and then come over." ”
Ni Jia suddenly breathed a sigh of relief: "Why didn't you say it earlier, it scared me!" ”
Ni Jian stared at her with two eyes: "Sister, I found out why are you so nervous?" Isn't it just that Brother Jiang came to the house for a meal, it makes you nervous. Also, if you cook so many dishes, can we eat them all for the three of us? ”
As he spoke, he put his mouth to Ni Jia's ear and whispered, "Sister, don't you like Brother Jiang?" ”
Ni Jia's face turned red suddenly, she grabbed Ni Jian's ear, and said viciously: "What nonsense are you!" It's not because they saved your and my lives that I'm so grateful to him, you kid dare to talk nonsense, don't eat anything later! ”
The landlady next to her smiled and said, "Hehe, girl, you have no silver three hundred taels here!" ”
Ni Jia was embarrassed at this time, let go of her hand, twisted around and said with a red face: "Auntie, why are you talking nonsense with him as a child." ”
The old lady smiled and said, "Girl, the eldest lady is from here, and she knows everything." Besides, Xiao Jiang is a good boy, what's wrong with liking him? ”
Ni Jia became more and more embarrassed.
At this time, a voice came from the gate of the courtyard: "Miss Ni, Ni Jian." ”
With a twist of his face, Jiang Tiandao stood at the gate of the courtyard with two bottles of wine in his hands.
Ni Jia glanced at him, but rushed into the kitchen with a red face.
Jiang Tiandao was confused, he looked at the people in the courtyard with a confused expression, and didn't understand why Ni Jia reacted like this after seeing him.
And Ni Jian laughed: "Brother Jiang, you can count it as coming, otherwise some people are about to wear it." ”
Jiang Tiandao suddenly understood something, lifted the two bottles of wine with his hand and said, "Xiaojian, can you drink?" Let's have a good drink tonight. ”
Ni Jian nodded vigorously, although his alcohol consumption was not very good, but if Brother Jiang wanted to drink, he would naturally sacrifice his life to accompany the gentleman.
And the landlady said with a smile: "Xiao Jiang, drink less wine and eat more vegetables, you see that Xiao Jia has used all the skills to press the bottom of the box for you, you have to taste it." He smiled and went back to his house.
At this time, Ni Jia walked out of the kitchen with a red face: "Let's go to the house and sit for a while, there are two dishes, and it will be fine immediately." ”
The two of them went to the house and sat down, and Ni Jia also went out to buy some melon seeds, which made Ni Jian's heart sour.
I have been dependent on my sister for two years, when did I see her so extravagant, I can't break a penny into half on weekdays, and I even have to take stock of how many cents I have on my body to buy some oil. And today, in order to invite Brother Jiang to dinner, he had to spend all the salary he had just paid, not to mention, he even took into account the melon seeds before the meal.
It seems that my sister has really moved her mind.
"Brother Jiang, eat melon seeds, I'll pour you a glass of water."
Ni Jian greeted Jiang Tiandao warmly and poured him a cup of hot boiling water.
The two of them were chatting about the melon seeds and talking about things in the army. Soon Ni Jia brought exquisite dishes to the table, and then called them over.
After taking a look, Jiang Tiandao was a little dazed, originally thinking that eating at home would allow Ni Jia to save some money, but now looking at this battle, I am afraid it will be enough to go out and eat two good light meals.
A table full of dishes, and they are all "big dishes" and "hard dishes".
Jiang Tiandao counted, there were ten dishes! Obediently, it can catch up with the pomp and circumstance of later generations marrying daughters-in-law.
Not to mention, Ni Jia still blushed and looked embarrassed: "I'm sorry Jiang Tiandao, I was a little hasty today, and I prepared a few dishes indiscriminately, don't laugh." When the Chinese New Year comes, I'll fry a few dishes for you and let you taste them, and I'll be a little more wronged today. ”
Jiang Tiandao couldn't cry or laugh, so many good dishes are still wronged? Especially the food of the two of them in the army, all day long, it is a nest of pickles, which is simply corrupt.
"Miss Ni, you are really ...... It's too polite, it's all my own family, what are you doing with so many dishes, everyone just has a light meal together. Jiang Tiandao shook his head and said with a wry smile.
He suddenly regretted it a little, and he should have brought Monk Wei and Zhang Dabiao over to taste it.
