Yao Cuihua sent all the money she could take out to Mrs. Yao, wrote an IOU for the insufficient part, and returned home with a slumped head.

It's not early, she cleaned the kitchen and prepared to make lunch, so she couldn't buy steamed buns to satisfy her hunger.

I'm used to eating rice, and then I eat steamed buns, but my stomach is bloated and bulging, but it's still like I haven't eaten.

If you don't cook, a few little bunnies will rebel.

Yao Cuihua hates cooking, but she can't help it.

She was upset, and someone outside the house asked in standard Mandarin: "Excuse me, is this Yao Cuihua's house?" ”

Yao Cuihua wondered, who was looking for her? I actually spoke Mandarin.

She stepped out and saw a young Sven man with a camera around his neck standing in front of her house, with an unfamiliar face that she didn't even recognize.

Yao Cuihua asked suspiciously: "I am, who are you?" ”

The young man showed her press card: "That's the case, we received the news that you drank low-quality pesticides and attempted suicide, is there such a thing?" ”

Yao Cuihua was stunned, knowing that the suicide attempt mentioned by this reporter was referring to her trying to force the old lady to drink fake pesticides.

She thought to herself.

Originally, everyone in the village thought that she was drinking fake pesticides to blackmail the old lady, but if she told the reporter the truth, it would be equivalent to admitting it herself, and the villagers had to drown her by spitting at her.

So we can't tell the truth.

Yao Cuihua nodded matter-of-fact and said, "There is such a thing." ”

She also vividly described her reaction after drinking low-quality pesticides.

It's like drinking unclean water, it only causes diarrhea, nothing at all.

He also said that fortunately, she committed suicide with this inferior pesticide, so it did not cause any serious consequences.

If this pesticide is used to kill insects, the pests are not killed, and the crops must be eaten by the pests.

The reporter recorded everything she said and left.

Yao Cuihua didn't know why, she thought she had deceived the reporter, and she was very proud.

When people said that she did not drink fake pesticides that day, but drank fake and shoddy pesticides, reporters came to interview her, but they didn't know that there was bigger trouble waiting for her ahead.

The four classes in the morning passed in the blink of an eye, and after school, Bai Mengdie and Chen Ziqian followed them to Grandpa Chen's house.

Grandpa Chen's house is not far from the school, only twenty minutes away.

The courtyard where Grandpa Chen lived was in a quiet alley.

The scorching May sun was in full swing from the leaves of the towering old locust tree at the entrance of the courtyard, leaving dappled light and shadow on the ground.

The dark door of the house and the shiny door cymbals all tell the vicissitudes of time and the glory of the past.

The original owner knew something about this courtyard, which was called Grace Garden, and was the property of the most famous local squire, Mr. Han.

However, Mr. Han's family went to the United States before the liberation because of the war, and this famous courtyard house in the local area was confiscated for various reasons, but they didn't expect it to become Grandpa Chen's residence now.

Bai Mengdie stood at the gate of the courtyard, looking at the gilded words "Grace Garden" on the lintel, and asked gossipily: "Your family spent a lot of money to buy this courtyard." ”

Chen Ziqian hesitated for a moment and shook his head: "It didn't cost money, this house belongs to someone else, and my grandfather just borrowed it to live here." ”

Bai Mengdie smiled: "Then you tell your classmates, wouldn't you and your grandfather live up to the name if you and your grandfather are looking at the house here?" ”

Chen Ziqian also smiled: "Yes." Then he snapped the knocker.

Soon, the young orderly came and opened the courtyard door.

A scent of roses poured out of the yard, and Bai Mengdie couldn't help but sniff intoxicated, and said, "It's so fragrant!" ”

Chen Ziqian smiled at her.

Because he already knew in advance that Chen Ziqian was going to bring his classmates home to make lunch, he was not surprised to see Bai Mengdie's orderly.

also said to Bai Mengdie enthusiastically: "You are Chen Ziqian's classmate, I have prepared all the ingredients, just waiting for you to take charge." ”

Although he said that, he actually kept playing a small drum in his heart.

This little girl is white and fat, with fine skin and tender meat, and at first glance she looks pampered, and she is young, can she really cook?

Bai Mengdie is looking at the courtyard in front of her with wide eyes, with white walls and green tiles, cornices and corners, simple and elegant.

The yard is deep and large, with several towering trees and potted flowers and plants.

The most striking thing is that there are two large flower beds in the courtyard, which are full of delicate roses.

It is said that this kind of Chinese-style house is rarely planted with large areas of roses, but these roses are not inconsistent with the entire courtyard house with the atmosphere of Jiangnan.

Bai Mengdie thought to herself, this is the real courtyard, and their Bai family's courtyard is completely low compared to Grandpa Chen's courtyard.

Hearing the orderly's words, she retracted her thoughts, smiled at him, and replied "yes".

It's a little strange in my heart, isn't it rumored that Grandpa Chen doesn't want the orderlies and nannies arranged for him by the state.

The nanny didn't see it, but the orderly still had it, so it can be seen that rumors are rumors, and there is no credibility.

Chen Ziqian saw that Bai Mengdie seemed to be quite interested in the flowers and trees in the yard.

Pointing to the green trees, he said, "Don't underestimate these big trees, they are all worth a lot."

This one is a golden silk nanmu tree, these two are huanghuali trees, and this one is a rosewood tree, all of which have a history of more than 100 years! ”

"Ahh All of them are precious trees! Bai Mengdie looked eye-opening, she really hadn't seen these precious trees.

She ran to a big tree that only two people could hug, and shouted happily: "I recognize this tree, this is a ginkgo tree, what a big ginkgo tree!" You have to have a lot of ginkgo biloba a year. ”

Looking up, "Huh? Why doesn't this ginkgo tree have a single fruit? ”

Grandpa Chen heard Bai Mengdie's words in the hall, and walked out with a smile, saying, "You are holding a male ginkgo tree, how can it bear fruit?" The female ginkgo tree next to it will bear fruit. ”

Bai Mengdie turned her head to see that the ginkgo tree next to her was really full of ginkgo fruits, and then she suddenly remembered that the ginkgo tree was dioecious.

She smiled embarrassedly at Grandpa Chen.

Chen Ziqian hurriedly introduced Bai Mengdie: "This old man with a gray beard is my grandfather. ”

Bai Mengdie hurriedly bowed: "Hello grandpa." ”

Grandpa Chen immediately laughed and said kindly, "Hello." ”

There is no old chief's frame at all, just like an ordinary old man.

Chen Ziqian introduced Bai Mengdie to Grandpa Chen again: "This super cute little girl is my classmate, called Bai Mengdie." ”

"White Dream Butterfly? That's a nice name. Grandpa Chen greeted him, and then pointed to the kitchen, "Bai Mengdie, the kitchen is there." ”

The subtext is: Little girl, hurry up and cook, my old man can't wait to eat food.

Bai Mengdie smiled and said, "Grandpa Chen, then you sit down for a while, and I'll go cook." ”

Grandpa Chen waved his hand vigorously: "Go, go, go." ”

Chen Ziqian followed behind Bai Mengdie and asked, "Do you know how to use a gas stove?" If not, let my grandpa turn on the gas for you. ”

Bai Mengdie asked strangely: "Even if I don't know how to use the gas stove, why don't you help me make a fire and let my grandfather help me make a fire, are you too lazy to have such cramps?" ”

"Uh......" Chen Ziqian blushed uncomfortably.

Grandpa Chen explained to him with a smile: "You don't know, we Qianqian suffered a fire when he was about five years old, and since then he has become afraid of fire.

Although he has overcome a lot over the years, he only dares to stand by the safe fire, let him start the fire or the fire suddenly becomes bigger, he will be nervous and afraid, come, grandpa will fire you. ”

Bai Mengdie suddenly realized, no wonder there was a fire in the kitchen, Chen Ziqian immediately ran away, it turned out that there was a shadow on the fire.

But he ran out and didn't come back to save her for five seconds, thanks to how he overcame the psychological barrier at that time!

Bai Mengdie was a little moved in her heart, and said to Grandpa Chen: "Grandpa, I will use a gas stove, you don't have to help me light the fire." ”

Then he said to Chen Ziqian: "If you are afraid of fire, you are afraid of fire, I will not laugh at you, no matter how powerful people are, there are things to be afraid of." With that, he walked into the kitchen.

Grandpa Chen's kitchen is large and modern, with a refrigerator, rice cooker, gas stove, ...... Everything but the kitchen sink.

On the clean, bright marble countertop are washed peppers, red tomatoes, lotus roots, mushrooms, sauerkraut, coriander, beef, large grass carp and a raw chicken.

Bai Mengdie was stunned, why are they all her favorite dishes?

It's really fate, I didn't expect Grandpa Chen to have exactly the same taste as her.

She thought for a while, called Chen Ziqian to the door of the kitchen, and asked him if his grandfather had anything to avoid or not eat, especially if he liked to eat spicy food.

Chen Ziqian had eaten two meals at her house, and knew that her taste was spicy, and said: "My grandfather eats everything, and he doesn't pay attention to it, as long as there is meat."

My grandfather is also from Hubei, you love spicy food so much, will my grandfather not like spicy food? You just do it to your taste. ”

Bai Mengdie nodded: "That's good!" ”

She washed the rice first and steamed the rice in the rice cooker, which was still very backward at this time, and everything was manual, but it was not troublesome.

Steam the rice and start cooking.

Grandpa Chen's gas stove is a double stove, and Bai Mengdie's two gas stoves are used together, which can cook two dishes at the same time to save time.

The orderly ran in and out several times, asking if he wanted to do it, but Bai Mengdie refused.

An hour later, stewed beef brisket with tomato, sauerkraut fish, hot and sour lotus root, white chopped chicken, and egg flower mushroom soup were all served, and the dining room was full of aroma.

Chen Ziqian was afraid that Bai Mengdie would not stay to eat, so he said: "You see that the three of us can't eat so many dishes, so you can also stay and eat together." ”

Grandpa Chen also helped speak: "Yes, yes, yes, stay and eat together!" The more people eat, the more fragrant it is. ”

Bai Mengdie thought for a few seconds and agreed with a smile.

Every dish of Bai Mengdie's roast is very delicious, and the four of them all eat very highly, and Grandpa Chen especially likes to eat white chopped chicken and egg flower mushroom soup, and he eats a lot.

Bai Mengdie thought to herself, sauerkraut fish and hot and sour lotus root are also delicious, these two dishes are very appetizing to eat in summer, so she sandwiched some sauerkraut fish and hot and sour lotus root ribbon for Grandpa Chen.

Grandpa Chen was a little worried, although he also likes spicy food, but the problem is that he has hemorrhoids, and if he eats too much spicy, he will have hemorrhoids.

But the baby grandson gave him a look, and he had to pretend to be happy and eat sauerkraut fish and hot and sour lotus root.

Bai Mengdie saw that the dishes he had sandwiched for him were finished so quickly, so he sandwiched some pickled cabbage fish and hot and sour lotus root ribbons for him, and Grandpa Chen's heart was broken.

Bai Mengdie poured some sauerkraut fish soup into the rice, and said to Grandpa Chen with a smile: "I really didn't expect that Grandpa Chen's taste is the same as mine, and he likes to eat spicy food." ”

Grandpa Chen stared at the sauerkraut fish in the rice bowl and the coriander in the hot and sour lotus root with a sad face: "Although I love spicy food, I don't dare to eat more, I will get hot if I eat it." ”

He pointed to the green coriander leaves in the bowl with his chopsticks, and said in a negotiating tone: "I don't like to eat coriander, can you not sprinkle coriander in the dish in the future......"

I'm embarrassed to tell her that he has hemorrhoids, and he also wants to save face.

Bai Mengdie was stunned for a moment, because she liked to eat coriander, so she sprinkled a little coriander on the egg flower mushroom soup, sauerkraut fish and white chopped chicken.

But she asked Chen Ziqian if there was anything that his grandfather didn't eat or taboo, and he said no...... It's so miserable for her!

The man's mouth deceives people, and the man's words are really unbelievable!

She secretly glared at Chen Ziqian, and stared at him so much that he shrunk his neck.

Bai Mengdie muttered, "Then why did Grandpa prepare so much coriander?"

I thought my grandfather liked to eat coriander, so he prepared it, and I knew that I wouldn't add coriander to the dish......"

Grandpa Chen ate sauerkraut fish and hot and sour lotus root: "I don't like to eat coriander at all, I bought it because Qianqian said that you love to eat it, and all these ingredients were humbly asked me to buy." ”

Bai Mengdie looked at Chen Ziqian in surprise, the original owner doesn't like to eat coriander, she loves to eat coriander, how can Chen Ziqian know her preferences?

Chen Ziqian was furious at her, chewing a piece of beef in his mouth and asked weakly, "Why are you looking at me like this?" ”

Bai Mengdie asked puzzledly: "I just feel strange, how do you know that I love to eat coriander?" You only knew how to bully me before! ”

"Uh......" Chen Ziqian swallowed the beef in his mouth, and uncomfortably poked the white rice in the bowl with chopsticks, "You girls are afraid of a peculiar smell in your mouth, so you don't like to eat garlic, shallots and leeks and other dishes, coriander has no peculiar smell in your mouth, I guess you will like it......"

So that's the case, Bai Mengdie was relieved, and said, how could this guy know that she loves coriander!

Even if he came through time like himself, and he was an acquaintance in his previous life, he didn't know that he loved to eat coriander.

She didn't have any particularly good friends in her previous life, so she wouldn't tell anyone that she loved cilantro.

Suffice it to say, no one in this world knows that she loves cilantro, except for the strange dog she raises.

But the problem is that Chen Ziqian can't be the cute, loyal and cute dog, although she always told him to lick the dog when she first wore it into the book.

The more Bai Mengdie thought about it, the funnier she became, and she laughed out loud, and the two grandparents and grandchildren sitting opposite immediately looked at her.

Chen Ziqian was inexplicably laughed at by her, and asked, "What are you laughing at?" ”

Bai Mengdie picked out the coriander from the white chopped chicken and put it in his bowl one by one, so as not to make it uncomfortable for the old man to accidentally clip the coriander and eat it in his mouth.

"I'm laughing at what you just said, in fact, there are a lot of girls who like to eat shallots and leeks.

But I'm afraid of a peculiar smell in my mouth, so I don't dare to eat outside, but I still eat it at home.

However, there are really few girls who eat garlic, and garlic can only be used as a condiment. ”

Chen Ziqian raised his eyebrows, slandering in his heart, this little thing is also worth stealing, lowered his head and continued to eat.

After eating a sumptuous lunch, a waiter cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, Bai Mengdie said goodbye to Grandpa Chen and prepared to go to school with Chen Ziqian.

Grandpa Chen asked hesitantly: "Girl, do you know how to make button meat and steamed pork, grandpa wants to eat it." After speaking, he stared at Bai Mengdie.
