Chapter 251: Stages
"I, I don't have five taels, only five hundred wen, my aunt gave it, I will give another five hundred wen, can I add two more people?"
The bargaining words that were held in Jiang Han's heart were said by her as soon as she was not paying attention......
Until she went down the mountain, Yun Niang still pretended not to know her, as for Aunt Liu, who had a stiff face, it is unknown whether she still cares about her mouth or not.
Fortunately, Jing Shitai didn't seem to be the kind of snobbish fake Buddhist, she smiled when she heard this, and said kindly: "The heart is better than the heart, even if the donor only donates a penny, the Bodhisattva will not blame, but it is inappropriate to borrow other people's fortune." If the two of you don't mind, it's better to halve the five hundred texts. ”
So, Jiang Han and Yun Niang each donated 250 wen, prayed for blessings and peace charms, and under the arrangement of Master Jing, they had a meal with less oil and less salt, and hurried down the mountain.
There were no clouds in the sky, and the scorching sun was shining directly overhead, burning people's scalps with burning pain.
When the three of them walked to the official road, they finally stopped a passing carriage and rushed into the house behind Daddy Jiang, who was closing the stall.
Aunt Liu also followed Jiang to the Jiang family, and in front of Father Jiang and Aunt Huatian, she made fun of Jiang Han for a while.
Jiang Han's face was about to turn into a pig's liver, and at that time she was in a trance, thinking that each person had to pay five taels, and as soon as she was nervous, she blurted out the words.
Who made her so poor now that she can't even afford to worship a Buddha?
Father Jiang actually didn't approve of Aunt Liu sending a lot of money into the nunnery, although it was Aunt Liu's sustenance, but with the good relationship between the two families, he still couldn't help but persuade a few words.
He pondered for a while, looked at Aunt Liu's face, and said thoughtfully: "Her aunt, don't blame me for talking too much, although I can seek peace of mind by praying to God and Buddha, but seeing that Dakang is almost twenty years old, I have to save some family funds, not to mention my little sister, she is not young...... In my opinion, if the sesame oil money can be less, try to pay as little as possible! ”
Aunt Liu smiled, looked at Daddy Jiang with an uncertain expression, and glanced at Jiang Han again, Daddy Jiang knew when she saw it, she thought that he was worried that Jiang Han would suffer if he married into the Liu family, and hurriedly said: "I don't mean anything else by this, Dakang is my only apprentice after all, just like my son, we had better follow his mind on his life events, but he is still young after all, we still have to think about him in this family." ”
Father Jiang deliberately accentuated the words "as he likes", but Aunt Liu didn't seem to hear his hints, and she still had a thoughtful look between her eyebrows and eyes, and kept turning around on the faces of the Jiang family's father and daughter.
Seeing this, Jiang Hanzuo couldn't help but be annoyed by Liu Dakang, since he told her father that he didn't want to marry her, and her father acquiesced, it's been a few months, why don't you procrastinate and don't have a showdown with Aunt Liu?
Although she can understand that before she can't get Yun Niang's mind, Liu Dakang must be afraid that once she picks it out to Aunt Liu, she will fall into endless trouble and chaos, which makes her scalp numb just thinking about it, but he can't always use her as a shield like this!
Jiang Han was full of resentment in his heart, but he heard his father cough lightly, and changed the topic: "Don't cook at your house tonight, I asked the two aunts in Huatian to buy some meat and fish in the morning, and let the two girls go to Zhang Luo for a table later, let's have a good meal!"
The two girls, whose faces had not yet subsided, were driven to the kitchen defenselessly.
When I entered the kitchen, there was a grass carp of two or three catties in size in the wooden basin, half a pork belly, and a barrel bone, as well as a few eggplants and two loofahs, as well as asparagus, winter melon, water spinach, lettuce, etc.
The two studied the tea time before deciding on the menu. There are chopped pepper fish heads that have been made before, as well as perilla fish - Jiang Han even said that when he opens a restaurant in the future, he will use all kinds of fish as signature dishes, as well as braised pork, as well as braised lion head and braised eggplant that Jiang Han didn't eat enough last time, make up three braised series, and then have a tubular bone winter melon soup, fried bacon with asparagus, fried loofah and water spinach, and finally add a plate of hot spicy skewers - full of ten dishes, just enough to set a table.
The menu must be fixed, the sisters one cleans and one moves the knife, one says and one does, after Aunt Liu left, Daddy Jiang also came to help - everyone was busy for more than an hour, and when the second aunt of Huatian who went out to sell milk tea and honey tea came back with a wheelbarrow, the preliminary preparations were almost over.
After a while, Duoduo Dog barked excitedly, and Xiao An came back from school.
He pushed the door open and entered the courtyard, followed by a chubby little tail.
"Who is this?" Father Jiang, who had just returned to the stone bench under the tree to sit down, looked at the fat man in front of him in surprise, "Xiao An, this is your classmate, right?" Which young master is it? What a coincidence, stay at my house for dinner tonight! ”
"Is there anything better in your house than that crispy snack? I'll stay if I have one! The little fat man's black grape-like eyes flashed one after another, making people feel that his saliva was about to flow out in the next second, he turned his head and said to the little scholar behind him, "Ah Hou, you go back and tell my father now, I want to stay at Xie Xiao'an's house for dinner!" ”
The little scholar looked honest, and although he hesitated with a bitter face, his feet were motionless.
Whose delicious kid is this?
Father Jiang was speechless for a second, Xiao An, who was standing in front of the fat man with a stiff face, moved two steps to the side, and pouted as if he didn't want to be involved with him, and said to Father Jiang aggrievedly: "Today in the school, I gave him a piece of shortbread, and he had to follow me back when he left school." ”
"Little brother, what's your name?" Daddy Jiang smiled kindly.
"My name is Wang Xiaoli!" The little fat man's eyes were rolling, and he said with a smile, "I'm a guest at your house, don't you take out snacks to entertain me?" ”
"I don't have anything to eat at home, so you better hurry home!" Xiao An rolled his eyes angrily, and said to Father Jiang sullenly, "He is the son of the king's shopkeeper, half a month ahead of me in the private school, and it is the most delicious, I didn't go to the stall for lunch these days, one day he ate my steamed cakes, and he began to pester me." ”
While a few people were talking, Jiang Han came out with a wooden basin to fetch water, and when he raised his eyes, he saw the little fat man Wang Xiaoli.
"Little owner, why did you come to my house? Who brought you? She walked a few steps in amazement, and yes, it was indeed the delicious little fat man.
This little fat man is the treasure of the Wang shopkeeper and his wife, the Wang shopkeeper seems to have high expectations for him, just picked up from Yue's house during the Dragon Boat Festival, he specially invited a gentleman for him, saying that it was to let him enter the Dongze private school smoothly, and then he went to the private school, and the gentleman still lived in his house until last month.
As soon as the gentleman left, the little fat man had no pressure after school, and occasionally sneaked into the teahouse to steal snacks, and Jiang Han had to know the legendary little proprietor.
"You are Jiang Xiaoer, it turns out that this is your home! No wonder Xie Xiao'an has so many delicious foods! The little fat man's eyes narrowed with a smile, and he pounced on Jiang Han regardless of it, "Quick, bring me two plates of your delicious snacks!" ”
Jiang Han sweated profusely, gently broke his fat paws, and said, "Where do I have any delicious snacks at home?" I've taken all the delicious dim sum to the store to sell, and you can eat it in the store. Ah Hou, take your young master home! ”
When Ah Hou heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and hurriedly stepped forward to pull people.
The little fat man stared at Jiang Han suspiciously, and confirmed: "But I didn't hear my father say that he had a new snack recently?" Are there really all teahouses? You didn't lie to me? ”
"It's all there, you go back quickly, if it's too late, it's sold out!" Jiang Han fooled him seriously, this little ancestor should hurry up, don't wait to attract the Wang family's Hedong Lion, she will have a big head.
The little fat man's face changed greatly, and he grabbed Ah Hou with his backhand and ran out: "Hurry up, let's go back quickly, we can't let my father sell out all the snacks!" ”
At this moment, Father Jiang suddenly shouted, "Wait! He looked at Jiang Han, "You go and send them!" Nowadays, there are many abductors, and it is too dangerous for the two of them to walk on the road with seven or eight-year-old ones. ”
Jiang Han agreed after a little thought.
If something really happens on the road, then she won't have a big head, but she won't be able to wash it by jumping into the Yellow River!
As for the dim sum problem, she first sent people back to Wang's house, and then went around to the teahouse in front and secretly told Shopkeeper Wang, and Shopkeeper Wang would naturally go back to clean him up.
As soon as she was planning like this, she heard Father Jiang say again: "When you come back, go to the Inspection Department by the way, and invite Master Shen and Young Master Lu over!" We owe Lord Shen a great kindness, but we haven't even invited a meal, it's too rude! Now that our debts are lighter, we have to do what we need to do, and we can't make excuses anymore. ”
