Jianghuai Tower at night.
"Welcome to China. Please eat and drink well later!" At the dinner table, Zhao Lingshan raised the drink in her hand. Jin Nana hesitated for a while and responded politely.
"Ahem, let me tell you something important. I just received a request from a friend today and I need to go to Guangdong to participate in the auction. Regarding Xunjie's matter, I'll leave it to you Shanshan for the time being." Before the food is ready, Coming up, Chen Xi was the first to speak to ease the tense atmosphere.
"Huh? I haven't seen the auction in China yet. I want to take a good look." Jin Nana said excitedly.
"Why should I stay here? No, I have to go too." Zhao Lingshan was not happy, especially now that another woman appeared, which made her unwilling to stay in the new house.
"Why are you going with us?"
"You can go, why can't I go?"
The quarrel between the two started again, Chen Xi also had a headache, Jin Nana couldn't leave her alone in the new house, so he thought about it and brought both women with him: "Stop arguing, let's go together."
"What are you going to do with her?" What does it have to do with her to protect her like this?" Jin Nana rolled her eyes at him jealously.
"I'm going to do something very important this time. If you two make trouble again, I won't take you both with me." Chen Xi had a straight face, acting like the head of the family.
"If you don't make trouble, there won't be trouble. Why is it so bad?" Jin Nana curled her lips.
“Giggle.” Seeing Jin Nana deflated, Zhao Lingshan snickered to herself.
“Why are you going to the auction?” She asked again not understanding the reason.
"Sister Ling asked me to help her take a picture of something. I don't know the specific situation. You need to keep it secret."
"The woman who saved you in the bend area last time? ”
"Yeah."
"When did you two go to the bend area again?" Jin Nana, who had sharp ears, asked unhappily.
At this time, the door of the private room was opened, and the waiters brought dishes to the table one after another.
At this time, Jin Nana was attracted by the delicious food. She looked at the dishes on the table curiously. There seemed to be nothing scary about them.
“Come and try the food in our restaurant. It will definitely taste better than your kimchi.”
"What's there to be proud of? There are so many delicacies around the world, but you have more types here. Everyone's taste is different. There is no need to belittle the food of our kimchi country." Although Jin Nana said that, But his face turned red.
The food in Kimchi Country is pretty much the same. It’s either miso soup, barbecue, kimchi, etc., or it just adds some cheese to imitate Western food to create a new variety.
"Haha, I won't argue with you on this point. You can try it first before talking."
"You eat it first."
"Are you afraid that I will poison you? Okay. , I'll eat first, look at how timid you are." Zhao Lingshan smiled, picked up some chopsticks and gave Chen Xi some, then picked up a piece of meat and put it in her mouth.
Seeing that the other party started to eat and mocked her for being timid, Jin Nana also started using her chopsticks.
The delicious taste of the food stimulated her taste buds. Jin Nana originally thought that the other party would play tricks on her, but after eating several dishes in a row, she didn't feel anything was wrong, so she relaxed her vigilance.
Chen Xi looked at Zhao Lingshan suspiciously, but the other party raised an eyebrow at him. Chen Xi didn't know what medicine she was selling in her gourd, but he had no intention of asking.
“Ahem, let’s try this Jianghuai delicacy.” A few minutes later, Zhao Lingshan opened the lid of a casserole, and there was something white and marshmallow-like inside.
“What is this? It’s all moldy!” When Jin Nana saw what was in the pot, she got goosebumps.
"This is hairy tofu, a delicacy from the south of Jianghuai Province..." Chen Xi explained with a smile.
Tofu is a local specialty in Jianghuai Province and a representative of Jianghuai cuisine. It is famous for its unique production technology and flavor, and is one of China's traditional folk delicacies. The production process of hairy tofu is to cut the tofu into pieces and ferment it, so that a layer of white hair grows on the surface of the tofu. This is the mold layer that naturally occurs after the tofu is carefully fermented. This mold layer gives the hairy tofu its unique flavor and texture. It tastes delicious and fragrant after cooking.
There are various cooking methods for edamame tofu. It can be fried, baked or fried, and then stewed with onions, ginger, sugar, salt, meat broth, soy sauce and other seasonings. When served, it is often paired with condiments such as chili sauce, making the whole dish more fresh, refreshing, and fragrant. In addition, hairy tofu also has an appetizing effect and is deeply loved by diners.
In other words, it is different from stinky tofu. Stinky tofu smells bad but tastes delicious. Hairy tofu looks scary, but tastes delicious.
"I won't eat it, but you guys will eat it. If you eat this thing, you will definitely get sick. It's not scientific at all to eat mold." Jin Nana shook her head desperately.
"Let me just say that you kimchi country people don't understand good food. Let me tell you a few world-famous foods that contain mold...Sakura Country has a close relationship with you. You must have heard of food like natto.
Natto is a food made from fermented soybeans. The surface is covered with a white sticky substance, which is actually the mycelium of Natto bacteria. Natto has a unique smell and taste. The sticky beans will pull out long strands when stirred. People in Sakura country often mix them with rice. Or eat it with rice noodles.
Let’s talk about a piece of cheese in Europe and America. , you must have seen this thing in Tuao, which many ghosts like to eat, that is blue cheese! These molds multiply and ferment inside the cheese, forming a rich aroma and unique taste. It has a musty smell, but it tastes unique. It is the favorite of many cheese lovers...
There are also fermented bean curd, moldy Qianzhang, moldy amaranth stems... You have never heard of these, so I won't explain them one by one." Zhao Lingshan said proudly. Jin Nana's face turned red when she described food similar to hairy tofu.
"Eat first if you can!" Jin Nana smiled evilly, she would not be fooled by the other party's nonsense.
"I know you're timid, so I'll eat first!"
"You're the timid one!" Jin Nana responded, but she didn't move her chopsticks, but watched Zhao Lingshan pinch them. Pick up a piece of tofu and put it in your mouth.
"It's so delicious! It's a pity that some people are not lucky enough to enjoy it." Zhao Lingshan laughed while eating.
Chen Xi smiled, picked up a piece and put it in his mouth.
Seeing that both of them had eaten, Jin Nana had the courage to use her chopsticks.
But when she put the tofu into her mouth with a frown, her face turned red without even chewing a few times, and then she spit the stuff on the plate, and quickly picked up the drink next to her and drank it.
"Hahaha."
"You...cough...cough..."
Jin Nana coughed and pointed angrily at the laughing Zhao Lingshan.
Chen Xi knew without even thinking that Zhao Lingshan must have asked the chef to do it.
"Isn't it delicious?"
"It's so delicious! It's so spicy to me... No, it's bitter, spicy and sour..." Looking at Zhao Lingshan, Jin Nana was very angry. Almost jumped.
The taste of the special piece of hairy tofu she ate can be described as strange. Each section has a different pungent taste. Jin Nana can’t even figure out what the specific taste is. Anyway, it can only be described in two words - uncomfortable!
“Try something else, it’s delicious.”
“Just taste it, you have to eat it yourself.”
"Didn't you say you wanted to marry here before? Why can't you even accept local food? If you marry Chen Xi in the future, wouldn't you force the other party to eat kimchi every day?"
"Definitely. You're the one who's being weird. Chen Xi and you are fine after eating, so why am I having problems now?" Jin Nana wasn't stupid either. When she saw Chen Xi snickering, she quickly reacted.
"No, no. It's obvious that you, a foreigner, don't understand the profoundness of Chinese cuisine." Zhao Lingshan shook her head like an old master chanting sutras.
"Humph, I'm too lazy to argue with you. Next time I come to Kimchi Country, I'll show you what a state banquet is."
"Pfft~ A family bucket of side dishes?" Chen Xi couldn't help laughing. "Okay, help her deal with me everywhere." Jin Nana couldn't bear it anymore and hit him on the arm with a pink fist.
"Look at how violent you are. Chen Xi likes gentle women. If any man marries you, he will definitely be abused at home every day."
"Oh, you don't have to worry about that. "It's sour grapes!" Jin Nana showed off her 'real girlfriend' sign.
"Humph, you are so self-righteous. Chen Xi and I grew up together, and our family relationship is also extraordinary. Stop being so arrogant."
"I just met Chen Xi today. Grandma, grandma even praised me..."
"Why are you complimenting me?" Zhao Lingshan pricked up her ears curiously.
"Praise me...praise me...for being clean and self-sufficient!" Jin Nana reproduced Jing Li's words intact, although she did not understand the meaning.
"Hahahaha! You are so funny. Go back and learn Chinese Mandarin again." Zhao Lingshan laughed loudly, then patted Chen Xi's thigh with her hand, which meant that she was friendly to Chen Xi and Jin Nana. The distance expresses praise.
The two of them didn't do anything, so she was relieved.
I originally thought that another competitor would appear.
After the meal, Jin Nana deliberately hugged Chen Xi's arm and said, "Honey, I'm a little sleepy. Why don't we go back to the hotel first and do what we didn't finish yesterday."
Oh shit, this is What's the matter with Little Bangzi?
Chen Xi was startled because he felt a chill coming from behind him.
When he turned around, he saw Zhao Lingshan staring at him with a sullen face.
"Shanshan, don't listen to her nonsense." Chen Xi argued.
"Oh, dear. Why do you have to explain our normal married life to others?" Jin Nana clung to him and kept rubbing against him like a kitten.
“Didi.”
“Hey, Mom.”
“You damn boy, aren’t you going home again tonight? Your grandma told me Oh, why did you get a girlfriend from Kimchi country again? Friend? You also made up a bunch of lies to fool your grandma. You think we are really blind... Now, come back and bring your new girlfriend back."
"Dudu. ~”
Looking at the disconnected call link, Chen Xi looked at Jin Nana again, and then sighed.
Forty minutes later, in Victoria Manor.
"Why are you following us back? I'm here to meet my future mother-in-law." Jin Nana asked this question countless times on the way, but Zhao Lingshan didn't reply at all.
"We're home!" As soon as the car parked, Zhao Lingshan opened the car door with a smile and was the first to run into the house.
"This woman probably has some serious illness!" Jin Nana looked at the air in front of her and cursed in a low voice.
After entering the house, Chen Xi saw Zhao Lingshan whispering in Chen Caiyue's ear.
This was the first time for Jin Nana to meet her future mother-in-law. She seemed a little nervous and put her little hands on her back uneasily.
Seeing Chen Xi leading a strange girl home, Chen Caiyue stood up and walked over, staring at her son with squinted eyes.
"Uncle...Hello, aunt...I am Jin Nana from Kimchi Country. I met Chen Xi in Tu'ao...It was the first time we met. I didn't have time to bring a gift. I'm extremely sorry." Jin Nana enters I bowed to Chen Caiyue in front of me.
Looking at the polite girl in front of her, Chen Caiyue lost most of her anger, and sighed in her heart that it was a pity for that girl Shazhi.
Chen Caiyue quite liked Shazhi, she was well-behaved, sensible, and cute.
"Mom... things are not what you think..."
"Shut up, I already know it." Chen Caiyue said with a straight face, Zhao Lingshan stood behind her and spread her arms. He raised his hands to show that he was not talking nonsense.
"Ah? What do you know?" Chen Xi looked confused.
"Just like your dad!" Chen Caiyue glared at Chen Xi, then pointed to the stairs, meaning to let him go up.
"Woof woof!" At this time, Diandian and Amy ran over. They were very excited to see the stranger and kept circling around Jin Nana.
“What a cute puppy!” Jin Nana’s heart melted when she saw the white-fluffed Bichon Frize. She subconsciously knelt down and touched them.
"Hey, I'll go upstairs first, and you guys can chat with my mother for a while." Chen Xi looked at Chen Caiyue's serious eyes and had no choice but to go up first to avoid it.
"Nana, I heard from Shanshan that you and Shazhi are good friends, right?"
"Huh? Auntie, how do you know about Shazhi?" Jin Nana raised her head, A question mark on his face.
"Ahem, Chen Xi and Saori are high school classmates. I heard her say that before."
"Huh? Why don't I remember? Chen Xi and I were high school classmates. Auntie, did you remember it wrong? "
"..."
"..."
Hearing this, Chen Caiyue and Zhao Lingshan fell silent. They looked at each other and didn't know what to say. What's better.
They all knew about Jin Nana's silly brain, but they didn't expect that she would become so ill.
It was completely like switching the identities of myself and Shaori.
"Um... let's sit down and chat slowly." Chen Caiyue pointed to the sofa and said.
Seeing this, Jin Nana no longer had the intention to tease the puppy, and walked over obediently.
"What does your family do?" Chen Caiyue didn't believe Chen Xi's lies at first, but after hearing what Jin Nana just said, her mind was a little shaken. She wanted to ask the other party's specific situation first before making a decision.
"If I go back to my aunt, my family is doing business in Kimchi Country."
"How long have you been going to Tu'ao?"
"It's been since high school, and the time you spent there with Chen Xi Almost."
"Where did you go to high school?"
"Huh?" Jin Nana was asked.
Aren't you in the same high school as your son?
"BXXXXX"
"Oh." Chen Caiyue nodded. The name of the school was correct. It seemed that this child was really mentally ill. (End of this chapter)
