half-baked life

Chapter 84 Give me the biggest one, half minced garlic and half salt and pepper!
Jiang Xiaoping quickly cleaned the corridor. Before entering the house, she even knocked on the door next door.

The door opened quickly, and the "veteran cadre" even smiled a bit when he saw it was her. The black face that had been looking for trouble and quarreling before seemed like he had never appeared before.

"I'm really sorry for causing you any trouble. I've already cleaned it up. Can you see if there are any other problems?"

"Ah, that's good. Thank you for your hard work." The "veteran cadre" put his hands in his pockets and seemed friendly, but in fact he made a condescending comment.

"Actually, it's my fault that I don't know enough about the situation here. Mainly, my house has been rented out a long time ago. If the tenant hadn't canceled the rent last week, I would have forgotten that I still have a house here... Hahaha! "

The "veteran cadre" even laughed like a "veteran cadre". The amount of information he said in these few words was indeed not small, but it was really redundant, especially for a stranger like Jiang Xiaoping.

In addition, Jiang Xiaoping also noticed that when this person spoke, his head would move. This may be a habit from his previous work guidance. Jiang Xiaoping always felt that it looked a bit like the bobblehead doll in her car. She laughed secretly in her heart, but it didn't show it on her face.

"In that case, I won't disturb you."

She nodded to the "veteran cadre" and was about to go back to the house to help, but the "veteran cadre" stopped her.

"That's right. I heard the young man say just now that you help the elderly bathe, right? Then can we add a contact information... Don't get me wrong, I mainly want to know more in case I need it in the future. , After all, we have reached this point, we have to accept old age!"

"Of course, can I scan you?"

Jiang Xiaoping took out her mobile phone generously, scanned the QR code to add friends, and after taking two steps, she was stopped again.

"My name is Zhu Qiwu, 'Qi' from 'The mulberry trees still start the morning', and 'Wu' from 'Wen uses praise to control the enemy with force'. What is your name?"

Jiang Xiaoping had an extremely difficult time resisting the urge to pick her teeth with her tongue and make a "tsk" sound, "...my surname is Jiang, the ginger of onion, ginger, and garlic."

Two hours later, Jiang Xiaoping put a hot towel on her head and soaked in the skin-beautifying pool of Pingshui Hot Spring, still thinking about what was wrong with the person named Zhu.

Zhang Jiefang had nothing on her mind, lying happily by the pool, whispering gossip with her former colleagues.

As for Jiang He, she was still sniffing her fingers nervously. She had scrubbed them countless times and used all kinds of soaps, hand sanitizers, and disinfectants, but she still felt that there was a subtle amount of feces on her hands. Stink.

"Stop rubbing, you will bleed if you rub again!"

Jiang Xiaoping couldn't stand it any longer, so she stood up and pulled Jiang He out of the soup pool, "Your stomach has been growling, go eat something quickly, and you will faint later!"

"I still feel it tastes bad, is it really not?"

Jiang He put his hand in front of her mother's nose. Jiang Xiaoping moved forward in cooperation and sniffed it several times. "It smells good now. Mom has finished sucking it for you. Can you rest assured?"

"Yes!" Jiang He smiled and nodded vigorously, then turned back to greet Zhang Jiefang.

The three of them saw Gu Xia as soon as they got downstairs. He was obviously going crazy with hunger. He was eating fried udon noodles and guarding the grilled oyster stall.

Jiang He didn't feel hungry at first, but as soon as she smelled the aroma of the food, she found that she was hungry, her stomach was flat, and her mouth was so hungry that she felt bitter. She quickly grabbed two pieces of sushi and stuffed it in her mouth. I took a bottle of NFC juice and started drinking it.

"Jiang He, the oysters are roasted, do you want two?" Gu Xia brought a plate of oysters to Jiang He's eyes.

"Thank you." Jiang He reached out and was about to take it, but Gu Xia quickly moved the plate away.

"It's just baked, it's very hot!"

"I'm not afraid of burning my hands." Jiang He pinched the oyster with one hand and grabbed the spoon with the other. He neatly cut out the oyster meat and brought it to his mouth. He began to blow it for a while, and after making sure it was no longer hot, he put it in. In the mouth.

Gu Xia tried to follow the instructions, but as soon as her fingertips touched the oyster shell, she was so hot that she shivered.

"What a young man with tender skin and tender flesh!" Jiang He spoke in an elder tone and patted Gu Xia's shoulder. Just as Gu Xia was about to protest, he saw a middle-aged man in chef's uniform greeting Jiang He.

"Ouch, He'er is here!"

Zhao Bo is the chef of the old Pingshui Tangquan restaurant and has been working with Jiang Xiaoping for almost eight years. "I haven't seen you for a long time. It must be... more than two months, right? You look really good, but you're still like this." Thin. Tell me, what do you want to eat today, Uncle Zhao will cook it for you!"

"Uncle Zhao, are there any new tricks in the store recently?"

"I tried cooking a pot of yellow coffee today...Sister Xiaoping, you are here too! Oh, Jiefang, are you here too?"

As soon as Zhao Bo saw Jiang Xiaoping, he immediately lowered his head to check the chef's uniform on his body and touched the collar. "I just cooked a pot of yellow curry. Can you guys try two portions of curry omelette rice?"

"Don't!" The four of them said in unison, their voices were loud. Jiang Heqi couldn't control himself and even let out a nauseating burp. Not to mention Zhao Bo, even the customers from far away were frightened. A jump.

Gu Xia immediately clasped his hands and apologized to the people around him who were looking at him with disgust. Jiang He was also extremely embarrassed and bowed his head with a smile.

She was sweating slightly and subconsciously scratched the itchy wound on her neck. She suddenly remembered the pickled crabs that Liang Yingfeng mentioned on the phone.

"Uncle Zhao, are there any crabs to eat now?"

"Yes! The king crab is still alive. How about one?" Zhao Bo was talking to Jiang He, but his eyes were on Jiang Xiaoping.

"What kind of crabs are you eating? Crabs are hairy. Look at how your knife edge has grown. You don't have any scruples! Little Bo'er, make her something light."

Jiang He glanced at her mother depressedly, and angrily squeezed the V-neck of her yukata tightly, "I'm not like you, Mom! Isn't this just pouring salt on someone's wounds?" ! Is this a scar? I am obviously a medal of honor that has been reborn! I want to eat king crab, Uncle Zhao, give me the biggest one, half garlic and half salt and pepper!"

Zhao Bo smiled cautiously and did not dare to respond at all. He just carefully glanced at Jiang Xiaoping's face. One look showed that he was well versed in the principle of gods fighting and little devils suffering.

"...Okay! I can't tell you anything! Xiao Bo'er, just listen to her. Now we all listen to her."

Jiang Xiaoping, dumbfounded, patted Jiang He on the back and took Zhang Jiefang to another stall to get food. "Okay!" Zhao Bo immediately responded, "By the way, He'er, do you want swimming crabs? They're so fat that Huang'er's shell is almost lifting. I'll steam one for each of you?"

"Thank you, Uncle Zhao!" Jiang He grinned happily at Zhao Bo.

Just as she was about to leave, she was stopped by Zhao Bo. Zhao Bo mysteriously gestured to Jiang He, who was making a salad next to Gu Xia, "He'er, this young man is quite handsome. You... your new boyfriend." friend?"

"No." As soon as Jiang He finished saying these two words, he noticed that Zhao Bo's entire mood began to plummet, which was even worse than the market index.

She reacted immediately, and while trying to hold back her laughter, she did not forget to explain to Zhao Bo quickly, "Uncle Zhao, please don't misunderstand, he is my... my friend, he has nothing to do with my mother, really."

After Jiang He finished speaking, he winked at Zhao Bo slyly, "You still have a chance, so work hard!"

"...The swimming crabs are out of the pot!"

Liang Yingfeng carried a large pot of swimming crabs, ran all the way from the kitchen to the dining room, and placed the crabs on the large pot in the middle of the dining table.

Granddaughter Li Xinghai, who had been looking forward to it for a long time, let out a cooperative wow and called her parents over for dinner without even having to give instructions.

"Ouch, this crab is so fat!" Sun Qianwen came to the dining table, carefully used chopsticks to pry open the shell of a swimming crab, looked at the full crab roe inside, and exclaimed while sipping her saliva.

"Have you washed your hands?" Liang Yingfeng, who was handing out chopsticks and rice bowls, gently patted the back of her daughter's hand, "You are such an adult, you might as well be like Xinghai!"

"Grandma said that those who wash their hands before eating are good babies. Mom is not a good baby today."

Li Xinghai, who was standing on the small bench in front of the sink, wiped the water stains on his hands with a small towel and responded loudly to Liang Yingfeng.

"Ha! You little brat, grandma has only been here for a long time, and you are so good to her?"

Sun Qianwen stretched out her hand to pinch her daughter's chubby little face, and Li Xinghai laughed, "Xinghai and mom are fine."

"Then mom is also close to Xinghai." Sun Qianwen kissed her daughter on the face.

It happened that her husband Li Cheng had coaxed Sun Xingye to sleep and came out of the bedroom. When he saw this scene, he immediately pointed at Sun Qianwen's face.

Sun Qianwen was not polite at all, she stretched out her hand to hug the person over, held her face to her mouth and touched her. Li Cheng's face turned red with embarrassment, but Li Xinghai clapped his hands in excitement beside him.

"Shh! My brother is asleep, let's not wake him up." Li Cheng quickly put his finger between his lips to signal, and four-year-old Li Xinghai followed suit, clumsily pressing his fleshy thumb to his lips. , the voice was also very low.

"Why don't you wake up my brother and eat crabs together?"

"My brother is too young to eat. Let's eat."

Sun Qianwen washed her hands and picked up her daughter. The two came to the dining table. Liang Yingfeng had already peeled a small bowl of crab meat. She poured some vinegar on it and scooped out a full spoonful of crab meat and crab roe. It was delivered to Li Xinghai's mouth.

The little girl opened her mouth wide and swallowed it in one mouthful, her eyes turned into moons with satisfaction.

"Thank you, grandma!" Li Xinghai said obediently.

"You're welcome!" Liang Yingfeng replied with a smile.

"Mom, here you go!" Sun Qianwen kept urging Liang Yingfeng not to just feed Xinghai, "You can eat it too, it will taste fishy when it gets cold after a while." Liang Yingfeng responded, not to mention feeding with great enthusiasm, Sun Qianwen simply filled a crab shell crab meat into her mother's bowl.

"What are you doing for me? Eat it yourself!"

Just as Liang Yingfeng wanted to put the crab shell back into her daughter's bowl, Li Cheng had already fed a handful of crab meat into Sun Qianwen's mouth.

"I have it!" Sun Qianwen puffed out her cheeks and said while chewing.

"You know how to bully Xiao Li! Come on, Xiao Li, this is for you." Liang Yingfeng wanted to give the crab shell and crab meat to her son-in-law again.

"Mom, I can't eat it. I'm allergic to seafood." Li Cheng, who was cutting crab legs while wearing disposable gloves, explained with a smile.

"Are you allergic to seafood?" Liang Yingfeng repeated in a daze.

"Yeah, he can't eat any seafood, not even dried shrimps. He gets rash all over his body when he eats it. Fortunately, he didn't pass it on to Xinghai."

Sun Qianwen looked at her husband, shook her head and sighed sympathetically, then opened her mouth wide at him, and Cheng Cheng quickly fed her the two crab legs that had just been peeled off.

"Seafood allergy...really a seafood allergy."

Liang Yingfeng looked at the full crab shell and crab meat in her hand and murmured twice.

"Grandma, don't you like eating crabs?" Li Xinghai asked in a sweet voice, looking at Liang Yingfeng's dazed look.

"...I like it. Grandma likes crabs the most."

As Liang Yingfeng spoke, she lowered her head and picked up a piece of crab meat that her daughter had peeled for her, and brought it to her mouth. There was no trace of the bitterness and saltiness of pickled crab, only the wonderful sweetness and freshness.

"Xinghai also likes to eat crabs the most, just like grandma."

The little girl who was inexperienced in the world said loudly, her heart and eyes full of love. Liang Yingfeng looked at her granddaughter with a bright smile. The rotten sediment stirred up by Liang Yinglong again quickly settled down. She breathed a long sigh of relief and smiled with relief. stand up.

"If you like it, let's eat more. Come on, Xinghai, open your mouth wide, let's have another bite!"
