Chapter 12: The Lantern Festival
Ah Shan stood at the gate of the Jiang Mansion, poked his head out and looked left and right. He saw that there was no figure of Zhao Tingshi for the time being, so he waited patiently to stand on the street at the door.
In Jiang's mansion, in the backyard dining room, the dishes on the table are steaming and fragrant.
Jiang Tingcheng smelled the aroma of the food on the table, swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva water, and couldn't help but glance at the freshly cooked dishes on the table.
A few delicious home-cooked dishes are neatly laid out on the table. There are braised pork, duck legs in sauce, braised beef tendon, and Sixi meatball soup. Vegetarian dishes also include stir-fried lotus pond, stir-fried bok choy, soup white radish slices and fried peanuts.
"It's so rich." Jiang Qingcheng couldn't help but admire.
On the side, Liu Yuhua heard Jiang Tingcheng's muttering voice, and he didn't blame her, after all, Jiang Tingcheng was a well-known snack at home.
I remember last winter, when I entertained guests at home, I also came up with several good dishes. As soon as Jiang Qingcheng waited for the meal, it was like a wolf and a tiger, gobbling it up. She is really like a little wolf cub, and she can't take care of her little lady image when she sees food. Ahh
Jiang Qingcheng stared at his favorite Sixi meatball soup and sauced duck leg on the table, and the saliva at the corner of his mouth was almost dripping on the table.
Ah Shan's mellow voice suddenly sounded from outside the dining room: "Lord Zhao is here!" ”
Jiang Tingcheng thought to himself: "Haha, I'm finally about to start using chopsticks!" ”
Jiang Jianing was lying comfortably in Liu Yuhua's warm arms. As soon as he heard that Zhao Jianshi and his future colleague Zhao Qin were coming, he was curious for a moment and turned his eyes to the two people who entered the dining room.
Lord Zhao Zhongling walked to Jiang Weiguo's side and congratulated him: "Congratulations to Lord Jiang for having a beloved son." Today, our Mr. Dong Chun is also here, and I also wish Mr. Dong a good teaching, and the dog will be able to go to high school under Mr. in the future, and the future will be bright. ”
"Lord Zhao, don't dare to be, the old man is old. These four children are the last students of my career. After teaching them and sending them to the exam room, it's time for me to return home. Mr. Dong Chun also stood up and arched his hand.
Jiang Weiguo also stood up at this time, and said to the two of them: "We are all for the good of the children, and we don't have to be formal." Welcome to the Humble House. A few side dishes are not a tribute. Sit down and eat. ”
Zhao Tingshi sat down first. Mr. Dong Chun smoothed his clothes and sat down.
Jiang Weiguo didn't want to stick to the number of etiquette, so he took the lead in moving his chopsticks, grabbed a chopsticks and cabbage, and ate it.
Others also began to move chopsticks one after another. Jiang Tingcheng was not polite, and at once sandwiched two sauce duck legs and put them in his bowl.
Jiang Jianing was also drooling in swaddling clothes. But he's a baby who can't talk or walk. With so many delicacies, he couldn't afford it. He could only watch everyone eat, and quietly simulated the appearance of his own feasting in his heart.
Jiang Qingcheng ate quickly and abundantly, and he was full in a while.
Tonight is a big day for the lantern festival in the southwest market of Qingshui Town. Jiang Tingcheng actually made up his mind before eating, he wanted to go to this lantern festival to enjoy the lanterns and guess the lantern riddles.
She glanced in the direction of Aunt Wan, but regretfully found that Aunt Wan didn't seem to have much appetite today, and was still slowly eating the food in the bowl.
Jiang Qingcheng persuaded himself to wait patiently for a while.
She looked up at Aunt Wan again, and finally saw Aunt Wan put her chopsticks down, so she happily slipped off the stool and ran to Aunt Wan's side.
Jiang Qingcheng shouted at Aunt Wan with disgust: "Aunt Wan, will you take me to the Lantern Festival in the Southwest Market?" The lantern festival is still half an hour away. ”
Aunt Wan smiled awkwardly. She shook her head and signaled to Xiao Jiang Chengcheng, there are distinguished guests today, and you can't go out to enjoy the Lantern Festival alone.
Jiang Tingcheng understood at a glance that Aunt Wan was rejecting her. So she ran away angrily, ran in front of Jiang Weiguo, and pouted: "Daddy hurts the city, Daddy took me to see the Lantern Festival." ”
Jiang Weiguo is indeed distressed by his daughter Jiang Qingcheng. He finished the white rice in the bowl in a few bites, bowed his head and said to Jiang Tingcheng, "Daddy, I'll take Allure to the Southwest Bazaar Lantern Festival." ”
Liu Yuhua glared at Jiang Tingcheng with a little dissatisfaction, and said, "My lord, the guests are still there, I'm afraid it's not good for you to go to the Lantern Festival like this." ”
Jiang Weiguo loves his daughter heartily. He leaned over and turned his back to Jiang Qingcheng, and said with a doting smile: "Good daughter, you go to Daddy's back." Daddy takes you to the Lantern Festival. ”
Jiang Qingcheng jumped up in surprise, hugged Jiang Weiguo's neck tightly, and happily smiled his two eyes into a crescent moon, and let out a hearty laugh like a silver bell from his mouth.
Jiang Jianing also thinks that the Southwest Bazaar Lantern Festival should be very interesting. But because of his identity, he hesitated and didn't speak.
Jiang Jianing watched Jiang Tingcheng ride on his father's back and dance away, his sour little tears swirled in his eyes, and he saw that he was about to fall.
Liu Yuhua also finished eating. She was about to feed Jiang Jianing hot milk, but she was surprised to find that Jiang Jianing's eyes were tearful, and her little face was red with anxiety.
"Eighty percent of this kid is hungry. I'm going to have to feed him hot milk. Hey, there is no nurse at home to take care of this poor baby. Hey, aside, I'm going to make hot milk. Liu Yuhua took advantage of Jiang Weiguo's absence and said some complaining words in his mouth.
Liu Yuhua held Jiang Jianing in one hand and a porcelain bowl in the other, walked to the kitchen, took out a jar, poured a small spoonful of milk from the jar and put it into the porcelain bowl. She cautiously walked over to the stove and poured a large spoonful of hot water into the porcelain bowl to dilute the milk. She then walked back to the dining room, sat down, and began to feed Jiang Jianing hot milk mixed with hot water in a porcelain bowl.
It was the first time Jiang Jianing had seen the process of making his own rations.
Jiang Jianing gulped down the hot milk and thought, "It's okay, I can grow taller, I can grow up." It's a big deal that when I can eat on the ground, I will also learn from Jiang Tingcheng to eat like grabbing food, to ensure that I can grow into a big man. ”
Jiang Tingcheng and Jiang Weiguo had arrived at the southwest market of Qingshui Town at this moment.
The bazaar is lit up with various lanterns hanging high above people's heads.
Jiang Chengcheng looked at the colorful lanterns full of bright lights, and was dazzled for a while.
Jiang Weiguo also happily took Jiang Chengcheng everywhere to watch.
"Daddy, Allure wants to come down."
"Okay." Jiang Weiguo squatted down.
Jiang Qingcheng slid to the ground all of a sudden, and rushed towards the gathering point of the crowd who guessed the lantern riddle not far away.
She didn't know that in the lively crowd, a handsome young man holding an anagram lantern was none other than Ning Xihan, an undercover agent of the demon clan.
