Jiang Xiaobai went to cook, and Aunt Zhang also followed into the kitchen.

"Mr. Jiang, I'm sorry, although you are the grandson-in-law of the old man, I still have to be aside when you cook."

Aunt Zhang said apologetically, I just said that I have to eat a chopstick first for the meal you cooked, and then I can bring it out to the old man to eat.

Jiang Xiaobai smiled: "Sister Zhang, I understand. ”

Seeing that she was a little embarrassed, she said again: "It just so happens that I don't know much about here, Sister Zhang is here, and she can help me get started." ”

Aunt Zhang said: "What kind of dishes do you want to make, I will help you clean them out first." ”

Jiang Xiaobai said: "I brought all the vegetarian dishes, what kind of meat is there in the kitchen?" I'll see how it goes. ”

Aunt Zhang nodded, knowing that Jiang Xiaobai was coming today, the old man had already ordered to add food today, and she went to the vegetable market early in the morning to buy chicken, pork belly and carp and came back.

In the winter in the north, fresh meat does not need to be put in the refrigerator, and Aunt Zhang cleans it and uses a basin to fill it.

Jiang Xiaobai looked at the three meat dishes, and already had an idea in his heart, and immediately said some vegetables for Aunt Zhang to clean.

Jiang Xiaobai looked in the kitchen and was slightly surprised when he saw that a gas tank was actually used here.

He always thought that the gas tank would have to wait a few years before it would be used for family cooking, but in fact, as early as 1965, liquefied petroleum gas has been popularized and applied in China, and gas has been developed in the 80s.

However, the development of China's gas industry is very slow, and by 1978, the penetration rate of urban gas was only 14%.

In the previous life, Jiang Xiaobai was still working hard at the end of 1983, living a low-level life, and naturally there was no impression of the use of gas stoves in his memory.

At this moment, when he saw the gas stove, he realized that the information he knew was still incomplete.

Even if you are a reborn person, you still have to come to the big city, otherwise you will not be able to understand a lot of information in time. In Jiang Xiaobai's heart, he was even more determined to quickly expand his career to the whole country.

"It's a gas stove!"

Aunt Zhang saw Jiang Xiaobai staring at the gas stove in a daze, thinking that he hadn't seen it, and explained with a smile.

"Oooh!" Jiang Xiaobai pretended not to understand, and said, "I'm looking for why I didn't see the stove, it turns out that this is the stove!" ”

Aunt Zhang said: "The gas stove is easy to use, clean and hygienic, which is much more convenient than burning coal. ”

"When you stir-fry later, I'll teach you how to use it, it's very simple."

Jiang Xiaobai showed a look of great interest, looking like he had never seen a countryman in the world.

There is also a rice cooker on the stove.

This, Jiang Xiaobai doesn't need to install it, Lin Daguo has a rice cooker, and said with a smile: "This is a rice cooker, I have seen it at the second uncle's house." ”

Aunt Zhang said: "The rice will be cooked later, and it will be very fast to cook rice with a rice cooker." ”

Jiang Xiaobai shook his head: "I don't cook rice in a rice cooker, grandpa wants to eat the taste of his hometown, I still cook rice in the old way." ”

Aunt Zhang thought about it, didn't say anything, and pointed to Jiang Xiaobai the rice jar.

Jiang Xiaobai took the enamel basin, scooped some rice from the rice jar, washed it, and asked Aunt Zhang to help light the fire.

Aunt Zhang walked over, first turned on the switch of the gas tank, and then turned the twist switch on the gas stove, "snapped", and a circle of blue flames rose.

"Mr. Jiang, the amount of firepower can be adjusted by twisting this switch." Aunt Zhang flipped the switch and said.

Jiang Xiaobai immediately learned to twist the switch a few times, and said with a smile: "This is really convenient!" ”

Aunt Zhang smiled: "Then I'll go wash the vegetables." ”

"Okay, I'm sorry to trouble Sister Zhang!" Jiang Xiaobai said politely, poured the rice into the pot, and turned on the fire to cook the rice.

"Uncle, what can I do?"

Lin Shu rubbed his hands and asked.

Jiang Xiaobai glanced at him: "Have you ever cooked?" ”

Lin Shu shook his head, born in such a family, he rarely went into the kitchen since he was a child.

Jiang Xiaobai said: "Then you go and play." ”

Lin Shu's expression was sneering, and his grandfather ordered him to come over and help, but he didn't dare to go out, walked to the place where Aunt Zhang washed the vegetables, and said, "Aunt Zhang, I'll help you wash the vegetables together." ”

Aunt Zhang said: "Xiaoshu, forget it, don't splash water on your clothes." ”

Lin Shu said: "It's okay, I'm such a big person, it's not difficult to wash vegetables." ”

As he spoke, he reached into the basin.

"Mom!"

As soon as his hand entered the basin, he exclaimed, and quickly retracted his hand, bringing up a splash of water on the placket of his chest.

The water, so cold, like ice.

Aunt Zhang hurriedly said: "Let's just say that you can't do it, but you still don't believe it, get your clothes dirty, quickly take a towel and wipe it." ”

Lin Shu shook off the water stains on his hand and asked in surprise, "Why do you use cold water to wash vegetables?" ”

Aunt Zhang said: "You don't need cold water to wash vegetables, do you still boil hot water before washing!" ”

Lin Shu was speechless for a moment.

He didn't know it was so hard to cook.

Jiang Xiaobai shook his head, not because of Lin Shu, but because he didn't expect that even a high-ranking cadre like the old man had not yet used 24-hour hot water at home.

It's not as good as Jiangwan's home, which has already solved the problem of 24-hour hot water.

However, this is not a problem for him to consider, after the rice is put in the pot, he begins to take the pork belly to the cutting board to change the knife, and begins to prepare the lunch dish.

He was busy in the kitchen, and in the living room outside, the little guy was already mingling with the old man.

"Little Shanshan, your little appearance really looks like your mother when she was a child!" The old man let the little guy sit on his lap and said with a smile.

"Grandma, have you seen me numb?" The little guy asked curiously.

The old man's mind flashed up with Lin Jiayin's appearance, and he said slowly: "I, I've only seen your mother twice, once when she was about the same age as you, and once when she was fourteen or fifteen years old. ”

smiled: "However, after your Ergagong went to Jianyang last time, he sent me a lot of photos, and I saw her again in the photos." ”

The little guy smiled and said, "Didn't the grandpa see me in the photo?" ”

The old man laughed: "Of course I saw you." ”

The little guy said: "That grandpa has known me for a long time, but I only found out about grandpa today, this is not fair, you have to tell me your story, let me also know about you." ”

The old man was amused by the little guy: "You are so young to talk about fairness? ”

The little guy nodded: "What Baba said, each of us must get along with each other as equals, so it is natural." ”

The old man sneered: "What our generation has pursued all their lives in the rain of bullets is fairness, but only now do we understand where fairness comes from in this world?" ”

After speaking, there was a trace of tiredness on the old man's face, as if there was a deep sentimentality.

The little guy smiled and said, "Grandma, don't think so much, tell me your story!" ”

The old man nodded: "Okay, then I'll tell you about it." ”

"...... of the year"
