Chapter 160: You won't let go of the leftovers
"This rice noodle meat is delicious, the pork belly is fragrant and tender, it really melts as soon as you sip it, and it's not greasy at all, it's so delicious!"
"Braised elbow is delicious, gently suck the meat and slide into your mouth, it's like drinking soup, I haven't eaten such a delicious elbow!"
"You really don't know how to eat it, isn't the chopped pepper fish head delicious? The fish is tender and juicy, spicy and flavorful, and I am sweating all over my body when I eat it, hey, it's not cold at all! Refreshing! ”
“……”
This lunch, these relatives and elders can be regarded as comfortable, they have never eaten such a sumptuous and delicious feast.
Moreover, a group of people are guarding the kitchen, and as soon as the dishes come out of the pot, they don't even need to put them on the plate and directly distribute them to the bowl, which is also the first time in their lives that they have seen it.
Therefore, with such a fresh way of eating and such a delicious meal, this group of old men and old ladies who feel panicked when they eat a small half bowl of rice on weekdays have to eat for more than an hour.
It wasn't until their stomachs couldn't hold it anymore that they put down the bowls in their hands and sat down on their chairs one by one, chatting happily while touching their stomachs.
Chatting and chatting, these elders brought the topic to Jiang Yu.
"Xiaoyu, you are also in your twenties now, although you still have to go to graduate school, but you are not young at this age, have you found a girlfriend in school?"
"Yes, when Xiaoyu's father was so old, Xiaoyu was already born, and now your family is such a lone seedling, it's time to find a girlfriend to talk to."
"Well, I heard that Xiaoyu is now making her own money, since this is the case, it's time to find a partner, your grandma is also old, you can't keep working like this, you got married and had a baby, and she has a heart in her heart."
“……”
A group of old men and old ladies were talking, and they came to the momentum, and they all wanted to take advantage of the New Year to introduce Jiang Yu to an object.
Isn't it, Jiang Yu is a graduate student, and he opened his own canteen to make money, so he can still cook such a good dish......
Can you still find such an excellent young man these years?
I can't find it even with a lantern!
This has an opportunity, if you don't hurry up and pull it to your own family, wouldn't it be stupid?
So, the old men and old ladies were all excited, and they fought fiercely:
"There is a junior in my brother's house, 22 years old this year, two years younger than Xiaoyu, he is also a college student, I also saw it last year, it looks like a beautiful, the little girl is white and tender, well-behaved and sensible, and Xiaoyu, I think it's a good match!"
"Return your brother's family, you yourself are not familiar with it and are embarrassed to say, do you know what is the temperament of this girl? Don't hurt Xiaoyu!
According to me, my niece and granddaughter are very good, she is beautiful and has a good personality, and the key is that she is quite promising, so she opened a factory ......"
"Ouch hey! Don't shut up, you haven't even gone to college, and you still want to catch up with our Xiaoyu and dream of your big head, it's beautiful! ”
“……”
It's actually quite interesting to see this group of old men and old ladies getting together to chat and quarrel, they don't care about offending people or not, anyway, they just tear each other down and hurt each other.
If you don't let me get my way, then I won't let you succeed!
But when the content of their conversation was related to themselves, especially when it was something like the object of introduction, Jiang Yu felt a little numb in his scalp, and stood there smiling awkwardly, not leaving, not leaving.
Fortunately, grandma saw Jiang Yu's discomfort, walked forward in a few steps, waved her big hand, and said with a disgusted look:
"Okay, okay, look at what you said one by one, it's not reliable at all, our family's Xiaoyu's family affairs, of course, I have to be a grandmother to check it, you, or hurry back and worry about your juniors!
What's the matter, we are reluctant to leave when we are full, there are still so many bowls in our kitchen that we haven't had time to clean up, are you planning to stay and help? ”
When the others saw it, they all got up and walked out, and said jokingly as they went:
"Yo, we ate so much at once, my sister-in-law is distressed!"
"Sister-in-law, don't feel distressed, wait for the New Year to come to our house to eat, although it is not as delicious as Xiaoyu, but the dishes are not bad at all!"
"Phew! When you go to your house to eat, don't you need to wrap red envelopes? ”
“……”
As she was talking, my aunt suddenly turned back and said with some embarrassment:
"Old sister-in-law, I just saw that there are still a lot of rice noodles and meat in the steamer, can I take a bowl with that?
My old man is good at this, but I don't make it taste good......"
Before Grandma could speak, another person spoke:
"Old sister-in-law, then, the braised elbow, can I bring some back and drink at night?"
"Hehe, I see that there is still half of the chopped pepper fish head, and I am too lazy to cook at night, take this chopped pepper and fish soup bibimbap, it must be delicious!"
“……”
Grandma was speechless, just order leftovers, and you won't let them go?
I still want to keep myself to eat with Xiaoyu at night!
Everyone is a neighbor, and they are all related to each other, so they originally invited others to eat to thank everyone for their care, but it makes no sense to invite others to eat, and they will be reluctant to eat some leftovers.
Grandma just wanted to say something, but saw that Jiang Yu had already taken out a clean bowl and divided all the leftovers, regardless of whether there was an opening or not, everyone took a share.
At this moment, the old man and the old lady were all happy, and while they were talking about Jiang Yu's good words, they carried a big bowl of leftovers, and went out to go home.
Without thinking deeply, Jiang Yu could imagine that in less than half a day, his reputation for hospitality would soon spread in the homes of people he knew.
……
After paying off the family's foreign debts and inviting those elders to dinner, Jiang Yu basically had nothing to do.
Before the Chinese New Year, he hired a few more masons to repair his house inside and out, making it look more comfortable.
After that, he discussed with his grandmother to buy some furniture and appliances, although he does not often live at home, but his grandmother still lives here.
With these furniture and appliances, no matter what, at least life is much more convenient.
After all this, Chinese New Year's Eve arrived.
From the morning, the sound of firecrackers will be heard in the county from time to time, and the neighbors will be busy pasting Spring Festival couplets and hanging New Year's pictures.
And the children are also playing happily in the streets and alleys, and occasionally accidentally bump into or fall, they cry "wow" and ask the adults for comfort......
Everything seemed so peaceful and festive, and the air was filled with a strong New Year's atmosphere.
Jiang Yu pasted the Spring Festival couplets at the gate of his house early, and hung red lanterns under the eaves on both sides of the door.

When he had done that, he went into the kitchen and got to work.
According to the customs of Raozhou, on Chinese New Year's Eve, this meal at noon is just a little to fill the stomach, and at three or four o'clock in the afternoon is the serious "New Year".
Although there are only two people in the family, he and his grandmother, Jiang Yu did not plan to live perfunctory, and the foreign debts that he had borne for so many years were finally paid off, which was a great event for both Jiang Yu and his grandmother.
Such a happy event is naturally worth celebrating.
From now on, they don't have to work so hard anymore, especially grandma, who should also have a good rest and enjoy the blessings.
Jiang Yu was cooking in the kitchen, and her grandmother was not idle, she sent all the waste products that were piled up in the yard to the purchasing station to sell.
The eldest grandson spent a lot of money to repair the house inside and out, and the yard could no longer be an eyesore with these miscellaneous wastes.
Moreover, the previous relatives and elders are not wrong, Xiaoyu is not young, and it is time to find a partner, if he comes to the door with a female doll one day, people see that there are so many waste products piled up in this house, who knows if the other party will think more?
Maybe people still think that their family is so poor that they have to make a living by picking up rags!
If this is a lifelong event for Xiao Yu, then she really won't feel at ease when she dies.
At noon, the grandparents and grandchildren ate something casually to fill their stomachs, and they were busy again.
After grandma finally cleaned up the yard and cleaned the inside and outside of the house, Jiang Yu also cooked the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.
Outside the house, anxious people have begun to set off firecrackers to start the New Year, the sound of festive and lively firecrackers began to sound constantly, and even the fireworks began to explode in the air non-stop, sprinkling fireworks all over the sky.
"Grandma, it's the New Year!"
Jiang Yu shouted outside and began to serve food from the kitchen continuously.
Today's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner is different from the dishes made by the guests two days ago, not only steamed pork ribs with tempeh, braised pork with tofu and milk sauce, but also boiled fish fillet, stewed beef brisket with tomatoes and potatoes, white meat with garlic, sharp pepper chicken, fragrant and slippery chicken, lotus seeds and red dates and duck soup.
This time, grandma did not dislike Jiang Yu for cooking too much, she looked at this table full of rich Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, and her eyes couldn't help but redden.
Grandma brought a few pairs of bowls from the kitchen, and placed them on all sides of the Eight Immortals table, and muttered as she put them:
"Junzi, Xiaohe, look, your son Xiaoyu has grown up, he not only escorted graduate students, but also made his own money, you can rest assured!"
Jiang Yu pursed his lips and didn't say anything.
He quietly went out with a firecracker, lit it in the yard and set it off.
As for grandma, let her stay alone for a while, she should be happy now.
After a while, the firecrackers in the yard had long been set off, and the smoke was blown away by a gust of wind.
Grandma probably recovered, and shouted outside: "Xiaoyu, it's the New Year!" ”
"Hey! Here it comes! ”
Jiang Yu answered, turned around and went back to the house, sat down with his grandmother, and began to celebrate the New Year.
