Chapter 40: Moving
A week passed quickly, and on the day of the move, Lin Xiaoliang got up early in the morning and gathered all the things he was going to move to his new home.
"Little girl, are you up? Come out, I'm coming! ”
At this moment, Jiang Xiaomei's voice came in from outside.
Lin Xiaoliang hurriedly stepped forward to open the courtyard door, and in addition to Jiang Xiaomei's family and Yi Feng, he smiled at her with a somewhat restrained smile: "Excuse me." ”
"Where, where, I originally asked you to help, why bother?" Lin Xiaoliang asked while welcoming people in, "Didn't you have breakfast?" ”
"I didn't eat it, you said you would do it, I'm afraid that you will make too much breakfast after we eat it." Jiang Xiaomei said with a big grin.
Mother Jiang glared at her, "Now that I know to say kind words, who said on the road just now that it is rare to have the opportunity to taste the craftsmanship of the little obedient, and you can't miss it?" ”
"A-Niang~" Jiang Xiaomei leaned on Jiang's mother like a candy, and said with a disgruntled face: "You are a well-behaved A-Niang, how can you turn your elbow out like this?" ”
The crowd laughed.
"Where's Xiao Shen?" At this time, Father Jiang asked.
"He's wrapping the furniture in foam so he doesn't bump into it." The furniture in their home is all purchased in the magic capital, but the rare Huanghuali material is very durable, and it will not damage the beauty after a long time, and they plan to continue to use it, so they have done more in place in terms of protection measures.
"Do you want my help?" Father Jiang rolled up his sleeves and asked.
"No, you don't." Lin Xiaoliang shook his head and said, "It's going to be good soon, let's go have breakfast first."
For breakfast, Lin Xiaoliang cooked a large pot of vegetable porridge, baked seafood cakes, and steamed soup dumplings.
"You eat first. I went to dig the little rice cake out of bed. Lin Xiaoliang served them porridge and explained.
Lin Xiaoliang took some effort to wake up the little rice cake, washed his face and brushed his teeth and returned to the restaurant, and saw that Shen Chi was already there, chatting with others while eating breakfast.
Lin Xiaoliang sat down beside him, and he quickly handed over the porridge. I sandwiched a soup dumpling and a seafood cake for her, and said, "Give it to me if you can't eat it." "The seafood pie was thin but big.
"Daddy, I want it too!" Little rice cake shouted.
"Okay, here you go." Realizing that he had neglected his son, Shen Chi hurriedly made amends.
Jiang Xiaomei had already finished drinking a bowl of porridge, and was eating seafood cakes at this time, and asked in her mouth, "Little girl." How do you make this seafood cake, it seems to be better than my father's cooking? ”
"Don't pull hatred for me, my uncle is going to stare at me." Lin Xiaoqian pretended to complain.
Although her craftsmanship is good, Uncle Jiang is not bad, and the reason why the seafood cake is so praised. I think there are also advantages of ingredients and seasonings.
"It's really better than what I cooked, the ingredients used are very fresh, and the seasonings are a little different from what we are used to, what is it?" Dad Jiang was interested.
"I didn't buy it, I made my own MSG." Lin Xiaoliang didn't lie, she cooked with natural monosodium glutamate made in the processing workshop according to the alien formula, and the raw materials were all natural plants and did not contain any chemical ingredients. The freshness effect is not inferior to the MSG bought outside, but also has a natural fragrance that cannot be described in words, but is very attractive.
Daddy Jiang's eyes lit up. "Can you sell some to me? I'm going to use it when I sell breakfast in the future. Having been a chef in a restaurant for half his life, he easily saw the business opportunities.
Although he is already an old man, he still has ambitions and wants to make a career for his daughter as a backer.
He is also knowledgeable, and knows that this kind of formula is usually a secret recipe that cannot be passed on, so he just offered to buy some without asking the formula directly.
"Yes, yes. But the amount I can offer won't be much. This is actually not true, but Lin Xiaoliang knows that the value of natural MSG will attract attention in future generations. She didn't want to expose herself.
"That's not a problem." Father Jiang said: "I won't set up a stall too big, and in the future, at most, I will make a breakfast shop like in the county." Anyway, Xiaomei didn't inherit my craft. If it gets big, no one will accept it, and in the end it will be difficult to clean up. He thought very clearly, although the conditions of Yi Feng's family are good, it is not a rich and noble family, and he doesn't have to work hard, as long as his daughter can gain a firm foothold in her in-law's family in the future.
"A breakfast shop, it should be fine, right?" Father Jiang asked a little nervously.
"That's no problem, I'll give you the cost price, uncle, you can come and pick it up once a month, if it's not enough, call me again." Lin Xiaoyan breathed a sigh of relief.
"The cost price is not good, you have to work hard to adjust it yourself, in business, I will give you a dollar for every pound of this special MSG." Father Jiang retorted.
"Little boy, you can agree, Daddy makes a lot of money selling breakfast, he is not kind, he will definitely earn ten yuan if you give you a piece." Seeing that Lin Xiaoliang was about to shake her head, Jiang Xiaomei hurriedly persuaded.
Lin Xiaoliang couldn't cry or laugh when she heard this, but she agreed in the end.
She thinks about it, a breakfast shop uses up ten catties of MSG a month, and it is more than three cents less per day, which is really nothing to the breakfast shop.
After breakfast, everyone began to move things to the tricycle that Jiang's father was riding, of course, this time there were two young adults, Shen Chi and Yi Feng, and it was not his turn to contribute.
Shen Chi and Yi Feng rode a bicycle and moved things to their new home, while Lin Xiaoliang and the Jiang family stayed behind to sort out all the things they needed.
"Why aren't there any soldiers to help?" During this period, Jiang's mother was a little worried: "Xiao Shen don't get along well with other people. ”
"It's not." Lin Xiaoliang hurriedly reassured: "Where is the refusal of people to come, it is because he dislikes other people's carelessness." ”
"How?"
"Didn't we borrow the army's military card and send it over last time when we were in the magic capital? After unloading it, there were soldiers here who helped move the things into the yard, but they didn't know how heavy they put the things, and several things were a little stumbling. Lin Xiaoliang explained with a smile.
In fact, this is really not to blame the soldiers, it is really Lin Xiaoliang and Shen Chi who are a little picky in this matter, and they have to take care of the slightest scratch.
But there is no way, Lin Xiaoliang has always cherished things, and Shen Chi is dissatisfied because he knows that she likes it.
"Then it won't be like that this time." Mother Jiang smiled, she could see that everything that might be knocked Shen Chi was carefully wrapped tightly with foaming cloth.
When the last thing was removed, Lin Xiaoliang and the others did not stay, locked the door and followed the tricycle to the new home.
"Little girl, don't you want the vegetables in the field?" On the way, Jiang Xiaomei asked.
"Not really." Lin Xiaoqian shook his head, "I have already planted the vegetables in my new home, and the vines have been moved. As for the dishes here, what is left is not ripe for a while. Anyway, the yard won't be allocated immediately, I'll come over from time to time to take care of it, and when I can eat, I'll save some for myself and send some to you. ”
The house that Jiang Xiaomei's family bought was good, but the yard was cemented, and there was no way to grow vegetables. Father Jiang always said that he would pry the cement floor, but he always felt reluctant when it came to the end.
Lin Xiaoliang's new home is only five or six miles away from the original, it is also a single courtyard, and the outer wall is a half-brick wall and half-iron fence that is rare at this time, but it is a newly built bungalow, red bricks and gray tiles, with a very spacious yard, quite a bit of the taste of a small garden house in later generations.
Lin Xiaoliang originally regretted that she had not lived in the courtyard before, but when she saw this bungalow, she felt complete, she lived in the old bungalow in the old town of Modu in her last life, so she has always had a preference for bungalows that others can't understand.
In fact, Lin Xiaoliang felt that although Shen Chi was already a colonel, the allocation of such a house to him was obviously a bit out of place, and he wanted to know that there was the handiwork of the Han family. Shen Chi also said that if nothing else, they would not move in the future.
"It's beautiful!" Jiang Xiaomei was amazed, "This house has three floors, and there must be many rooms in it." ”
"It's two and a half floors, and the third floor is an attic, which is only half the size of the two floors below." Lin Xiao's eyebrows were soft, and he chuckled: "There are more rooms, and it will be convenient for you to come and live in the future." ”
The group walked into the house, the house was renovated, and Lin Xiaoliang had already taken the time to come over to clean it before, so the cleaning process could be omitted, but other places were busy enough.
"Little girl, where is this screen?"
"Put it first, we'll talk about it later, come over and hang this mural first."
"Shen Chi, is this the right position?"
"A little more to the left, a little more to the right!"
"Little girl, do you have a broom?"
"Auntie, wait, I'll find it for you."
……
When the things were roughly put together, and seeing that it was already eleven o'clock, Lin Xiaoliang hurriedly took the ingredients prepared in advance into the kitchen and started cooking, and Dad Jiang also came in to help.
As for the others, they did the final cleaning outside - after all, although Lin Xiaoliang had cleaned it in advance, they were so busy that they still made a little mess, like the foaming cloth that had been removed and put into the warehouse.
"There are too many dishes to prepare, and it may be too late to make them." Father Jiang said a little worriedly.
"It's okay, you can do as much as you can, and put the rest in the refrigerator." Lin Xiao's subordinates cut the lotus root slices neatly.
A few people outside cleaned up, except for Yi Feng, Jiang Xiaomei and Xiao Rice Cake, who couldn't cook, the other two came in to help. Fortunately, the kitchen is spacious enough, otherwise it would be crowded.
It was already half past twelve when the meal was served, Lin Xiaoliang breathed a sigh of relief, and drank the bowl of chicken soup that Father Jiang gave her in one go, and the stomach that had been protesting finally calmed down.
"By the way, Xiaomei, you and Yi Feng can't cook, what should we do after we get married?" After eating five minutes full, Lin Xiaoliang's speed slowed down, and thinking of what had just happened, he asked.
Hearing the word "marriage", Yi Feng and Jiang Xiaomei both blushed a little, and after a while, they reacted to what she meant, and looked at each other.
Father Jiang and Mother Jiang were stunned when they heard this, why didn't they notice such an important matter? (To be continued)
