Back to 90s she just wants to get rich

Chapter 345 344. Aren't you also a guest?

"Do you need my help?" The next day, Xiang Jin was sitting on a small bench under the eaves peeling lotus root skin, but Yan Chen appeared in good time.

Xiang Jin raised his head abruptly, and then raised the corners of his mouth, "Are you here?" Then he turned his head to look behind him, and sure enough, he saw Grandpa Zeng, Grandma Mo, and his cousin Zeng Haoze standing in front of him. On the road not far from the courtyard, she was chatting with her grandparents and a group of people. It seemed that the two groups met there by chance.

Yan Chen gave a faint "hmm", and then repeated, "Do you need my help?"

"Okay, then help me peel this lotus root," Xiang Jin said, getting up and stuffing the knife and lotus root into his hands.

"What's this for? Cooking soup?" Yan Chen sat where she had been sitting just now.

Xiang Jin asked back, "Then do you like lotus root soup?"

"Well, it's okay!"

Xiang Jin nodded, "Okay, let's make lotus root pork rib soup later."

"You made this soup just for me?" Yan Chen was so surprised that he raised his head and stared at her without blinking.

Xiang Jin was stunned for a moment, then honestly shook his head and said, "No way, I was planning to make soup, but I just haven't decided whether to put lotus root or white radish, but since you like it Let's drink lotus root soup, then let's put lotus root, lotus root has the effect of clearing away heat and cooling blood, and during the recent Chinese New Year, everyone is full of fish and meat every day, drinking some lotus root soup is just right to get rid of the anger in the body."

Yan Chen lowered his eyes and continued to peel, "So many lotus roots, what else can I use them for besides making soup?"

Xiang Jin said, "I'm going to make cold sliced ​​lotus root and sweet and sour lotus root. How about it? Do you like this?"

Yan Chen stared at her and said, "What if I say I don't like it?"

The anticipation on Xiang Jin's face dissipated quite a bit, "Ah, you don't like it?"

Seeing her disappointed expression, Yan Chen's mouth hooked into a smile, "I'm lying to you, I like it!"

"Really?" Xiang Jin doubted.

Yan Chen said, "Even if I didn't like it before, I will definitely like what you made!"

"Why?" Xiang Jin was startled, as if he had missed a beat, and stared at him with wide eyes.

Yan Chen said, "Of course I believe in your cooking skills!"

Xiang Jin withdrew her gaze resentfully, and then said arrogantly, "That's right, although my cooking skills are not as good as those of famous chefs, if I want to make a dish not delicious, I still have to do it." Certainly difficult."

Yan Chen smiled!

Xiang Jin said, "Then be careful, don't hurt your hand, our kitchen knife is a bit sharp."

"it is good!"

Xiang Jin turned and left, and the smile on the corner of Yan Chen's mouth widened.

Yang Zhao led a few younger ones back with a basket of fresh vegetables. When he saw Yan Chen, he ran over with a happy face, "Brother Chen, are you here?"

"Ok!"

"Come, come, I'll peel it, I'll peel it," he put the vegetable basket in his hand on the ground, and then went to get the lotus root in his hand.

Yan Chen refused, "No need!"

Yang Zhao said, "Oh, I want it, I want it, come, you give it to me, I'll come! You are guests, how can we trouble your guests to work?"

Yan Chen frowned slightly and looked at him, "Aren't you also a guest?"

Yang Zhao took the kitchen knife and lotus root from his hand carelessly and said, "I'm different, my sister and I are a family, and it's not an excuse to do my own work!"

Yan Chen gave up his seat, "Whatever!"

Yang Zhao instructed a few young people not far away, "You guys, take the vegetables into the kitchen and give them to sister, and see what she does next."

"Oh," a few little ones ran over to carry the basket.

Yan Chen walked aside to wash his hands.

Not long after, a group of people from the main road entered the courtyard of Xiang Jin's house. After Xiang Jin and her mother came out to greet them, Xiang Jin asked her grandparents to entertain Grandpa Zeng and Mo Grandma and the others then said to Yan Chen and Zeng Haoze, "You are free to drink water, Yan Chen, you can pour it yourself? Also, there are two decks of playing cards in the drawer under the coffee table. If you feel bored You can also take it out to play."

"it is good!"

The two brothers nodded slightly, and then Xiang Jin went back to the kitchen to continue preparing lunch.

Grandma Mo and Grandpa Zeng were accompanied by Xiang Jin's grandparents. Xiang Jin's uncle and second uncle dragged a large scrap iron pot by themselves, and went to the next room where the firewood was piled up to hold a few. Large logs and some small dry sticks to start the fire.

After looking at the internal structure of Xiang Jin's house, Zeng Haoze said to Yan Chen, "Their house is specially built." Especially in a rural place like theirs, it looks particularly ingenious and eye-catching. When he came back, he just stood in the yard and looked outside casually.

Yan Chen said, "Xiang Jin designed this."

"Oh? That girl designed it?" Zeng Haoze was surprised again, really can't tell that this little girl knows architectural design?It's a talent!
"En," Yan Chen nodded slightly, then grabbed an idle book on the side coffee table and flipped through it.

After the fire in the pot was cleared up, Xiang Jin, her first aunt and second aunt asked them to go over to warm the fire. Xiang Jin, her first aunt and second aunt stayed with Grandma Mo and Grandpa Zeng after talking for a while, then got up and said to go to the kitchen To help, Grandma Mo also wanted to get up to help, but was grabbed by Xiang Jin and her grandma.

"Old sister, you don't want to go. They have a lot of people and they are enough. In fact, the two of them can't do anything if they go. At most, they just start a fight. The main thing is that Jin girl will do it."

Hearing her mentioning Xiang Jin, Grandma Mo nodded with a smile, "Yes, girl Jin is a good cook!"

Xiang Jin's grandmother also laughed out loud, and then asked, "Oh, why hasn't her Aunt Liao come yet?"

Grandma Mo explained to her, "Dongmei can't come today. Dongmei's family has guests, and her natal brothers, sisters and nephews are here."

Xiang Jin's grandmother said "Oh", "How many people are here?"

Grandma Mo nodded, "In the morning, I saw that her brother-in-law and a sister came, as well as her brother-in-law's son and her sister's two daughters, so those who came also came. There are still seven or eight people."

Grandma Mo nodded, and then heard Xiang Jin and her grandfather ask the old man if he wanted to play cards for a while, and the old man asked, "Do you have any cards?"

Xiang Jin and her grandfather said, "There are cards, long cards, and poker cards. My eldest and second child also brought the set of mahjong cards at home. Which one do you want to play?"

Xiang Jin, her uncle and second uncle also looked at him with great interest.

After hesitating for a moment, Grandpa Zeng said, "Then play long cards, which we are most familiar with?"

The smile on Xiang Jin's grandfather's face became brighter, and the corners of his mouth and eyes were full of smiles. It seemed that he also liked playing poker.

So Xiang Jin's two uncles went to the small house to move tables and benches. Seeing this, Yang Hui hurriedly took a half-sized flat iron pan that was usually used for warming the fire and went to the kitchen to ask Xiang Jin, "Is there a place in the stove?" Is there a hard fire, Grandpa and Grandpa Zeng are going to play cards now, I will shovel a fire for them and put it under the table to roast."

Xiang Jin was boiling the ribs, "There should be, why don't you go down and have a look?"

"I want fire, come here, come here, I'll shovel it for you," Xiang Jin's second aunt hurriedly picked up a fire stick and poked the firewood in the stove a few times, and then the firewood flowed along the stove The hole in the hole leaked down, and then she picked up the small iron shovel on the side and shoveled the firewood into the flat iron pot one by one. After a while, most of the pot was shoveled, and then she grabbed it from the stove. Several big fire heads are placed on it.

"Okay, let's take it away, be careful, don't burn it."

Yang Hui squatted down and went to hold the brazier, Xiang Jin suddenly remembered, so he said to Yang Zhao, "Cousin, it seems that there are a few pieces of that big black charcoal in our room where the firewood is piled up. Let them take it, there is no smoke when roasting this one, and this one is more durable to roasting, "Oh, it would be great if there was an electric oven at home, Xiang Jin thought so.

Xiang Jin's mother also hurriedly said, "Oh, yes, yes, it's in the bamboo pole next to the pile of firewood."

Xiang Jin, her eldest aunt, came over with a basket of washed vegetables, "Where's your coal?"

Xiang Jin's mother said, "The last time I came back from the town, I picked it up at Zao'erya. It must have fallen from a cart pulling coal."

Xiang Jin and her two aunts nodded.

With the help of his mother and second aunt, Yang Zhao didn't need him here after peeling those lotus roots, so he ran to find Yan Chen and the others to play.

When he saw his grandfather playing cards there, he also thought of the two decks of playing cards he bought from the canteen yesterday, so he opened the drawer under the coffee table and took out the two decks of cards.

"Brother Chen, Brother Hao Ze, are you guys playing?" He looked at the two brothers with starry eyes.

Yan Chen glanced at the cards in his hand, and Zeng Haoze took a deck of cards from him, "What are you playing?"

Yang Zhao said, "It's all right, Doudizhu, run fast, and fry Jinhua, you can play whatever you want!"

Zeng Haoze asked Yan Chen, "Do you want to play?"

Yan Chen looked at the deck of cards and put down the book in his hand, "Yes!"

Yang Zhao turned his head and asked his brother, "Do you want to play together?"

Yang Hui said, "I'm not very good at it, come on, I'll watch from the sidelines."

Yang Zhao nodded, "Okay, let's play with the three of us." Following him, he looked at Yan Chen and Zeng Haoze again, "Then do we play with money or without money?"

When Zeng Haoze saw his eyes, he couldn't help but glance at the places of the elders, and then he paused when he shuffled the cards, "You want to play with money?"

Yang Zhao nodded vigorously, "Let's have fun. You don't play for money, so winning or losing is so boring, don't you think so?"

Yan Chen asked, "Then how big do you want to be?"

"Fifty cents, one yuan, two yuan!"

Yan Chen said, "Okay, let's fight the landlord, it's one dollar!"

Xiang Jin cooked a total of [-] dishes at noon, and sat in two tables. There were meat and vegetables, chicken and duck, fresh spicy fish slices, braised cured fish pieces, and cold garlic and white meat. The soft and glutinous Dongpo elbow also has a unique taste of bitter gourd stuffed meat. Three different flavors of dishes are made with lotus root alone.

Xiang Jin saw that Yan Chen liked to eat the crispy lotus root and cured fish, so he turned his head and whispered to him, "I still have some cold lotus root slices in the kitchen. This cured fish, when the time comes, take two back to eat?"

Yan Chen looked at her and smiled, "Okay!"

Yang Zhao asked after eating, "Brother Chen, has that bastard in your family eaten yet?"

Yan Chen said, "Eat!"

Yan Chen immediately put down the bowls and chopsticks, and then stared at him excitedly, "How did you do it, how did you do it? My sister can't make that bastard soup, so those bastards in our family are still kept in that jar of."

Yan Chen said, "I don't know, my grandfather did it."

"Grandpa Zeng made it?" Yang Zhao was surprised, then looked at the table of the elders, and then asked Yan Chen, "Then do you drink the stewed soup, or the braised pork?"

Yan Chen said, "Stewed soup!"

"Then, is that good to drink?"

"Well, it's okay!"

"Oh, then I'll ask Grandpa Zeng for advice later, sister, if I ask Grandpa Zeng about how to make the bastard soup, will you let me kill those bastards? Oh no, I will only kill two, and keep one as your pet!"

"You still keep turtles as pets?" Yan Chen looked at Xiang Jin and smiled.

Xiang Jin said, "I can't make those turtles, so I have to keep them in that pond."

"Hey, sister, sister, are you listening to me?" Seeing the two of them talking there, Yang Zhao ignored him, so he stared at Xiang Jin with resentment.

Xiang Jin said, "Understood, if you can get the scriptures from Grandpa Zeng to make delicious soft-shelled turtle soup, I will allow you to kill all three soft-shelled turtles."

"Nah, that's what you said?" Yang Zhao was immediately delighted.

Xiang Jin nodded, "Of course!" She also really wants to drink soft-shelled turtle soup, okay?

With Xiang Jin's promise, Yang Zhao's mood was exceptionally good, even the depression of the brothers Yan Chen and the brothers who had lost dozens of fights with them in the Landlord just now was wiped away, and he ate even more happily. Work hard, one bite of meat, one bite of meat, and one bite of rice with chopsticks, without any heavy samples.

Because there are so many people today, Xiang Jin has enough ingredients for lunch, especially a few big dishes can even be eaten for a meal, so Xiang Jin simply suggested that Grandpa Zeng and Grandma Mo should not cook at night, just It's better to eat here and help them eliminate it.

Grandma Mo and Grandpa Zeng finally discussed it, and then agreed, and then said that they would eat at their house tomorrow morning, and it happened that they could call Aunt Liao to join them, and then Yan Chen and the others would set off directly after eating.

Xiang Jin and the others nodded, "Okay!"

So everyone sat down again after eating, those who played cards continued to play cards, those who fought landlords continued to fight landlords, and those who talked and chatted continued to chat. Of course, Xiang Lan and the others' biggest hobbies were watching TV. During the new year these few days, as long as Xiang Lan doesn't overdo it, Xiang Jin doesn't bother to care about her.

After Xiang Jin and her mother cleaned up the pots and pans, her mother went to the living room to chat with Grandma Mo and the other female compatriots, while Xiang Jin stayed in the kitchen directly, and then brought out a few pieces of chicken breast. Thawed and made them a snack of fried chicken nuggets.

Xiang Jin packed a few small shaukes and took them out, and gave them a place to put a small shauke there for them to taste. When she took the last small shauke of fried chicken and stood in front of Yang Zhao and the others , I saw Yang Zhao wailing with an unlucky look on his face, "Oh, why did I lose again, why didn't I win a game, you guys are too good?"

Xiang Jin put the small Shau Kei on the coffee table, Yang Zhao reached out and picked one out of it and threw it into his mouth, Xiang Jin slapped him on the back of his hand, "It's fine if you don't wash your hands, I put a toothpick on it for you None?"

Yang Zhao quickly admitted his mistake, "Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I won't do it next time!"

Xiang Jin gave him a hard look, and then said to everyone, "I've made a new food, everyone, please try it and give me some advice?"

Zeng Haoze picked up a toothpick and forked a piece into his mouth, Yan Chen looked up at her, "What is it?"

"Chicken nuggets! Try it?" She gestured to him after answering.

Yan Chen also picked up a toothpick and forked a piece into his mouth. Xiang Jin greeted Yang Hui, "Would you like to try it too?"

"okay!"

After they all tasted it, Xiang Jin asked, "How is it? How does it taste?"

Zeng Haoze nodded, "Well, it's delicious, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside."

Yan Chen said, "The meat is smooth and juicy, very fragrant."

Xiang Jin looked at Yang Hui, and Yang Hui said, "Oh, there are no chicken bones in it!"

Yang Zhao cut it, "My sister made it with chicken breast, of course there is no bone, let me tell you, my sister used several chickens to try to make this kind of texture, try it. It took a few days to try out this taste."

"It's so difficult?" Yan Chen picked up a piece and looked at Xiang Jin.

Xiang Jin said, "It's okay!"

Yang Zhao said, "Isn't it? It's not like you don't know that my sister has always had a high taste. No matter what she does, she likes to pursue perfection and achieve the ultimate."

Xiang Jin said, "How can I be so picky?"

Yang Zhao said, "Why not? Maybe you don't feel anything, but we all know it clearly. If you don't believe me, ask Brother Chen, Brother Chen, do you think so?"

Xiang Jin looked at Yan Chen, and Yan Chen smiled slightly at her, "You just have stricter requirements on quality control."

Xiang Jin looked at Yang Zhao smugly, "Did you hear that? I have strict requirements on quality?"

Yang Zhao curled his lips, "Both of you have high requirements and high quality."

Yan Chen said, "Are you still playing or not?"

Yang Zhao hurriedly said, "Yes, yes!"

Then Yan Chen dealt the cards, and Xiang Jin stood behind Yang Zhao with his arms folded, looking at his cards and his playing style, and found that Yang Zhao's playing style was really "bad". No wonder he has been losing all the time. With this technology, it would be weird if he didn’t lose. He didn’t demolish what should be demolished, didn’t bomb when it should be bombed, and didn’t call him landlord when he should be called. The way of playing in one set is a bit frustrating.

Without any suspense, he lost this game again, and when he lost, he pounded the table and howled, Xiang Jin rolled his eyes at the sky speechlessly, "They let you go two yards, you also lose I don't complain!"

"Ah?" Yang Zhao turned his head and looked at her in disbelief.

Xiang Jin said, "Ah, what? Both Yan Chen and Brother Hao Ze gave you one size. Originally, they all wanted your card, but they let you continue." The level is still very high, if it is not for others to let him go, it is estimated that it will not only lose a few dozen or one hundred yuan, maybe it will be doubled.

"Ah?" Yang Zhao still couldn't believe it.

"Why don't you come and play for a while?" Yan Chen looked at Xiang Jin and said.

Xiang Jin hesitated, "Aren't you playing anymore?"

Yan Chen got up and made way for her, "I'll get up and walk around to rest for a while."

"Okay, then I'll play for a while," Xiang Jin walked over and sat on his seat, then collected his money and handed it to him. Yan Chen didn't pick it up, but said, "Let's play!"

Xiang Jin didn't refuse, and then put the money down, and then the three of them started fighting, while Yan Chen stood behind her and watched.

When there were only the last three cards left, Zeng Haoze asked, "Are you going to grab the landlord?"

Xiang Jin shook his head, "I don't want it!"

Yang Zhao raised his hand and shouted, "I want to rob the landlord!" Then he grabbed those cards.

In the end, Xiang Jin and Zeng Haoze were about to run out of cards, and Yang Zhao still had a lot of cards in his hand. When Xiang Jin threw down the last card, Yang Zhao also put down the cards in his hand, and then Xiang Jin saw that his cards were [-], [-], and couldn't help but contemptuously said, "How dare you be called a landlord with a card like yours?"

Yang Zhao justified, "I want to catch seven."

Xiang Jin said, "Even if you have a seven in your hand, you shouldn't rob the landlord. Look at your cards, the biggest one is a 'K', even an 'A' and a '2', and Xiao Wang is too big." No, you dare to rob the landlord?" She shook her head at this point, "Your skills are not good, I think you should stop fighting, this skill is too bad?"

She even suspected that the two brothers Yan Chen and Zeng Haoze didn't want to play with them at all, and this was too much of a technical challenge.

Yang Zhao blushed, and said, "Oh, don't play this anymore, don't play this anymore, let's go play mahjong, I am better at mahjong than this one!"

Xiang Jin looked at him suspiciously, "Isn't it? Don't talk big!"

Yang Zhao said, "Why lie to you? Really! If you don't believe me, ask my brother, I have played with my parents, my second uncle and my second aunt before, and they have never disliked my poker skills. "

Xiang Jin looked at Yang Hui who was at the side, and Yang Hui nodded at them, "It's true, he can play mahjong well."

Xiang Jin looked at Yan Chen and his two brothers, "Do you want to fight?"

Both brothers nodded, "Let's fight!"

Then everyone packed up the change in front of them, and then walked towards the small square table not far away.

Xiang Jin returned the handful of change to Yan Chen, and Yan Chen said, "No, you can take it, I have some change with me." After speaking, he was afraid that Xiang Jin would insist on giving it back to him, so he leaned into her ear While whispering another thing to her, "I'm going back to the provincial capital tomorrow morning, you can make me some fried chicken nuggets and bring them with me, I think it tastes good?"

Xiang Jin said, "Then it will be cold by then?"

Yan Chen said, "It's okay, you put it in an insulated bucket for me."

Xiang Jin said, "Then it won't be brittle then?"

Yan Chen said, "It's okay, what I ate was the taste of the chicken inside."

Xiang Jin said, "Okay then, I'll get up tomorrow morning and make it, and bring it to you when it's done."

The corner of Yan Chen's mouth curled up, "Well, good!"
