Chapter 161 Performance
"Here comes someone? Boss, go pick him up quickly. It should be Captain Jiang here!"

Yan Lihua shouted excitedly.

An Tai was also a little flustered. He straightened his clothes and ran towards the door.

"Eldest sister, second sister, Captain Jiang is here, come down quickly!"

Yan Lihua shouted excitedly upstairs.

I just thought about my husband picking up Captain Jiang, and I forgot that the person who should pick up Captain Jiang was up there!

"Captain Jiang is here? So fast!"

Anjie was looking at Huang in the mirror and said she was going to mix a vegetable salad. In fact, Zhang's mother had already prepared the vegetable salad. She just mixed it briefly.

So, even though An Xin urged her, she kept humming the song.

An Xin looked at her sister rushing downstairs like a butterfly. She didn't know why, but she felt a little disappointed.

……

"Captain Jiang, welcome to my humble home! Welcome! Welcome!"

An Tai excitedly took Jiang Defu's hand and shook it.

"Let Captain Jiang come in quickly. It's too bad to stand at the door."

Yan Lihua hurriedly shouted to An Tai.

Captain Jiang was still holding something in his hand, and his husband kept shaking hands with her. He was so excited that he forgot to pick up the things. Fortunately, Captain Jiang had really good arm strength, and he was able to hold the bag in one hand without delaying the handshake.

With quick eyesight and quick hands, Yan Lihua went up to pick up the bag. Oops, it was really heavy. How many things she had brought!

Jiang Defulai
"I'm so sorry, I'm so excited!"

An Tai was a little embarrassed and hurriedly took the things.

Jiang Defu came with a bag.

This bag is actually a grain bag from this era, all made of cotton.

There is no way, this era is no better than the previous life, there are packaging bags, and worst of all, there are plastic bags.

In this era, there were no such luxury things, and plastic was something that many people could never see.Even in the West or Hong Kong Island, plastic products can only be seen in wealthy people's homes and are considered luxury goods.

Hong Kong tycoon Li Chaoren started his business from selling plastic buckets to plastic flowers.

In this era, when visiting relatives in the city, they usually go to the store to buy a few packages of pastries or candies. Those items are packed in rough paper bags, and the most luxurious packages have some red paper on them.

When visiting relatives in the countryside, people often carry a bamboo basket in order to carry these things conveniently.

In fact, this kind of situation also exists in cities, and the more western-style people can only carry a braided basket.

Jiang Defu didn't like those, so he simply found a grain bag to put his things directly.

Grain bags were also precious items in this era, but they were made of fabric. Based on the wages of this era, fabric was not very cheap, so it’s no wonder that many people were reluctant to buy clothes.

As for the grain bags, they are placed in some people's homes. After they are used, they are starched and then used to make clothes.

"Captain Jiang!"

Jiang Defu was chatting with An Tai and his wife when a coquettish cry rang out.

He looked up and saw two pretty figures appearing in front of him.

The one in the front is naturally An Jie, who is dressed exquisitely. The one in the back is still elegantly dressed, and An Xin is always so low-key when she appears. Where her sister is present, she always acts as a silent foil, standing to one side and looking at him with a smile.

"Hello!"

Jiang Defu greeted the sisters.

Everyone welcomed Jiang Defu as he entered.

"Captain Jiang, I wonder if you prefer drinking our wine or foreign wine?"

An Tai moved the belongings directly out of the house and took the treasured wine box.

"Um, there's also foreign wine? Let's try it!"

Jiang Defu smiled.

A skinny camel is bigger than a horse!

Although the An family has declined, there should be a lot of vacant things in the yard, including the living room, but the furnishings, the cleanliness and tidiness of the room, and the telephone in the living room are really incomparable to ordinary families.

"Okay then, let's go drink some foreign wine."

"Ladies……"

Although Jiang Defu knew that when entertaining guests here in this era, most of them were men drinking, and most women did not come to the table. Especially in rural areas, women rarely ate at the same table as the men.

However, in cities, if it is a very familiar relationship, the man usually drinks first, and the woman slowly comes to the table later.For example, when he goes to Principal Cong's house for a drink, Yang Li usually cooks. They drink first, and then Yang Li will also serve the meal.

The An family was obviously in the same situation. As the host, An Tai entertained him for a drink first.The women are busy preparing hot dishes. When the hot dishes are served, the women will also come to the table to eat.

This prevents the dishes from being served all at once and being a little cold by the time the guests arrive.

……

Inside the kitchen.

"Oh! Captain Jiang is so generous. Look, he bought so many things."

Yan Lihua excitedly took out the things Jiang Defu bought and put them in the cabinet:
Pastries, candies, white sugar, fine salt, and brown sugar...

"Oh, look how delicate this white sugar is. You can't buy it in the store so cleanly."

Yan Lihua grabbed the sugar and said in surprise.

Nowadays, white sugar is precious and is in limited supply. There are many impurities in it, which is really delicate.

"Mom, let me try it! Let me try it!"

An Chen didn't know when it came over. He grabbed it with his little hand and put it into his mouth.

Yan Lihua is very strict in raising her son, but the current situation of the An family is that although they live in this big house and the home is very clean and tidy, it is just a symptom of foreign debt. For example, An Jie, An Xin and Yan Lihua all have many beautiful clothes, but The food supply at home is getting tighter and tighter, and many things are unavailable.

Children love to eat sweets, and they will come over when they see the white candy grains.

"Salty! Salty! Not delicious! Not delicious!"

An Chen vomited it out all of a sudden.

"Drink water! Drink water!"

The little guy shouted directly to his mother.

An Xin hurriedly took out a small water bottle and asked him to rinse his mouth.

"Why is it so salty?"

Yan Lihua didn't believe it.

"Oh! It's really salt, it's actually salt!"

Yan Lihua tasted it and found that it was indeed salt, but she quickly became excited.

"Oh! It's so fine that it's salt. I've never seen such good salt!"

Yan Lihua said in surprise, not caring that her son had eaten salt before and was still drinking water to relieve the saltiness!

An Xin asked her nephew to drink some water, then took some candies from her bag and asked her nephew to take them out to eat.

"Sister-in-law, put everything away! We'll look at it later."

An Xin was a little embarrassed.

Although their living room is still some distance from the kitchen, sister-in-law Yan Lihua was so surprised that she was worried that Jiang Defu would be a little embarrassed over there if she heard it.

Just now her little nephew shouted, and she was worried that the other side would hear it.

"Well, this is good salt. It needs to be kept. It must be good salt imported from somewhere. We don't have it here. Zhang Ma, I will use this salt to stir-fry hot dishes later. After all, it was brought here by Captain Jiang. "

Yan Lihua was not stingy at all in entertaining Jiang Defu.

"Madam, this seems to be brown sugar. This thing is a rare thing!"

When Zhang's mother was helping to organize, she saw brown sugar and couldn't help but say.

"Oh, this Captain Jiang is really generous. I have never seen such a generous person before. These things cannot be obtained by money, you must have ability!"

Yan Lihua said nonchalantly.

"Where's my little sister! Didn't you say you wanted to make a salad?"

Yan Lihua put the things in the cabinet, and when she saw that there were only An Xin and Zhang Ma in the kitchen, she realized that her sister-in-law seemed not to be there.

"Has the second lady gone to the front to entertain the guests?"

Zhang Ma said hesitantly.

"When did my little sister become so enthusiastic about guests?"

Yan Lihua looked at An Xin, who was working silently, and then at Zhang Ma, who looked a little embarrassed.

"Let me go and see how they are drinking. I want to ask if they want some hot food to satisfy their stomachs."

Yan Lihua said, but her ears drifted towards the guest, as if she heard her sister-in-law's voice.

She wanted to see what her sister-in-law was doing in the front living room1
