An hour later, Chen Jiaqi walked to the nearby farmers' market.

Due to the heavy rain, the flow of people in the normally bustling market has plummeted.

Chen Jiaqi put away the umbrella and walked towards the fresh cooked meat area.

"Yo! Brother, it's raining so hard and you're still here to take care of my business. "The one who took the initiative to greet him was Zhang Fatzi from the 'Zhangjia Big Butcher Shop'.

Because of the sluggish business on rainy days, Zhang Fatzi sat on the pony at the door of the store and shook the pu fan, the old pu fan has been yellow-brown, the edge is off the line, and it looks like an old object.

Seeing him walking towards the shop, Zhang Fatzi got up from the horse and walked towards the house while accosting him.

"My daughter is just like this, what can I do, as long as she wants to eat, let alone rain, even if it rains, I have to come with a knife." Chen Jiaqi walked to the door of the butcher's shop, kicked Ma Zha across the passage to the side, then shook the rain on the umbrella vigorously, and leaned the umbrella against the wall.

"Zai'er! Girls are the biggest! Zhang Fatzi picked up a rag and wiped his hands, "The next time the community votes for a model father, I will definitely vote for you." ”

Chen Jiaqi laughed twice, bent down to look at the meat in the freezer, and after looking at it for a while, he pointed to a piece of fine chop in the upper right corner and said, "That's it." ”

Zhang Fatzi turned over the ribs and let Chen Jiaqi look at them, "You said that you have long eyes, why are you really a chicken thief, and you picked up the treasure of my town store at a glance." ”

"! This piece is too many brittle bones that no one wants, and it will become a treasure of the town store in your mouth! Chen Jiaqi scolded with a smile.

"Look at you as a layman, only those who can eat can pick crispy and bone-hungry miles, you haven't heard the chefs say, muscles and meat, how to make it fragrant!" Zhang Fatzi began to brag.

"If it weren't for my daughter's love to eat crispy pork bones, I wouldn't be too lazy to talk nonsense with you, hurry up, pass the scales." Chen Jiaqi took out a 100 yuan from his trouser pocket, "Bring me another piece of pork belly, a three-layer flower, not a three-layer one." ”

"It's hard for you to serve." Zhang Fatzi complained in a low voice, and at the same time picked a piece of fat and thin three-layer pig belly and threw it on the fair scale.

When looking for money, Zhang Fatzi glanced at him and asked, "Didn't you sleep last night, brother?" ”

Chen Jiaqi was stunned and hummed indistinctly.

"What's wrong, you quarreled with your daughter-in-law?"

"You just quarreled with your daughter-in-law." Chen Jiaqi said.

Zhang Fatzi pinched his double chin full of fat, looked at Chen Jiaqi with an unnatural expression, and said in a deep tone with the attitude of a passerby: "What's so embarrassing about being hammered by my daughter-in-law, you look at my eye sockets, if they are not still green, this is my family's splash of goods to hammer." ”

"Why?" Chen Jiaqi has seen Zhang Fatzi's wife, a Sichuan woman, who is not tall but shrewd and neat.

"Why. I made a joke with my little daughter-in-law in the market, and when she heard it, she argued with me and gave me a punch. Zhang Fatzi pointed to his right eye and complained aggrievedly.

Chen Jiaqi picked up the bag and patted the fat man on the shoulder, "You deserve it." You deserve it. ”

Zhang Fatzi's face was stunned, he looked at Chen Jiaqi, who had turned around and went out, and shouted loudly: "What are you brother, hey!" Don't go, let's theorize! Feed! Xiao Chen, my brother will teach you a trick and teach you how to coax your wife......"

The Chen family waved their hands without looking back, "Thank you." Take care of yourself! ”

After buying pork ribs and fresh meat, Chen Jiaqi went to the nearby seafood area for a while, originally to buy some live shrimp and deep-sea fish, but suddenly remembered that his daughter couldn't eat hair recently, so he had to dispel his thoughts and went to the vegetable area to buy lettuce and Shanghai greens, and then returned home in the rain.

When he opened the door, his fingers kept trembling slightly, and the metal pendant under the key hit the door panel, making an irregular sound.

The door opened, and he saw a lone blue slipper outside the white shoe cabinet.

That's his slippers.

No one touched.

Realizing this, he couldn't help but sigh secretly, and then laughed at his cowardice, does he still look like a man? Still like a father?

In the market just now, Lao Zhang praised him as a model father, and at that moment he only felt ashamed when he heard it, and he couldn't find a crack to drill down, better than pretending to be okay and accepting this title that no longer belonged to him.

Father.

Is Beibei still willing to call him Daddy......

Chen Jiaqi, who was depressed, stood outside the door for a while, carrying things into the house.

The door closed, his slippers changed, and he looked into the living room as he walked towards the kitchen.

At this time in the past, there is always a TV on in the living room that no one watches, and his wife doesn't cook but likes to stick to him in the kitchen, not only pointing out the details of his cooking, but also from time to time like a child to him's hands', and his daughter is more lively when she is at home, and the sound of music wafting from her room, mixed with the noise of TV programs, makes his heart always full.

Now that these disturbing voices were gone, he should have felt relaxed and comfortable, but he didn't feel them at all at the moment, he seemed to have fallen into a bottomless black hole, surrounded by pitch black, cold and damp, he couldn't see anything, and with him there was only boundless fear.

In the kitchen, too, it is in full condition.

Sure enough, when he was in a low mood, he couldn't concentrate, and he made three mistakes just by blanching the ribs, and looking at the ribs whose meat had turned gray, he couldn't help but close his eyes and curse.

Originally, he was going to make Beibei's favorite sweet and sour short ribs, but because of his mistake, he had to change it to stewed pork ribs.

Fortunately, when he cheered up and didn't do anything else, when the white lithium porcelain casserole came with a gurgling sound, the emerald green lettuce and red and white pork belly were already neatly stacked in slices and neatly stacked in the white bone china disc.

Looking at the evenly thick slices, he couldn't help but hook the corners of his lips.

His hobby has always been cooking. For him, the three-foot kitchen has a kind of magical magic, this magic, especially like conquering the boss in the game, like a boxer knocking out an opponent, that moment of pride and self-confidence can be satisfied from a series of exquisite or simple dishes.

And the study of new dishes, the inheritance of classics, is his tireless pleasure, adhere to the hobby, especially worth mentioning his superb knife skills, he can be responsible for the ordinary restaurant chef really can not compare to his decades of hard work.

Another dish to be prepared is garlic greens. It's not easy to make vegan vegetables delicious, and the key is to keep them fresh. The purpose of adding salt and cooking oil to blanch the carefully selected Shanghai green selected by the market is to maintain the color of the vegetables to the greatest extent, so that they are still verdant and green after being stir-fried at high temperatures.

The rice washing water is also particular, their rice washing water is never poured out, but the rice washing water is poured into the fertilizer bucket on the balcony to continue fermentation, the wife loves to raise flowers, these rice washing water is the best fertilizer. Of course, every time you add water to the bucket, don't forget to put a few slices of lemon peel to prevent odor.

After skillfully completing these procedures step by step, Chen Jiaqi breathed a sigh of relief, he wiped the sweat from his forehead, raised his wrist and looked at his watch.

Eleven a.m.

He took out his mobile phone in his trouser pocket and was about to call his wife, but the phone rang first.

Looking down, his face changed.

Or pick it up.

"I'm Chen Jiaqi......"

"It's home." Nan Yan carried the supermarket shopping bag in both hands, hunched over, and entered the door in an embarrassed posture, "You kid, why are you running so fast, help me get things, these are all you want to buy......"

As soon as the words fell, the daughter who rushed to the door of her room like a tornado turned back and snatched the bag from her hand.

"North-north."

As soon as Nanbei turned around, he bumped into Chen Jiaqi who hurried over.
