Chapter 78 Reminiscing about the past (Third update!)
"My grandfather has lived a good life these years. He escaped to the Magic City by boat. After several trips to City Z, he worked as a cook for a wealthy local family. After liberation, he became a chef in a state-owned hotel. Now he and I Grandma settled in Z city. Grandpa got married late, so my uncles are all in their 40s and 50s.”
"My uncle's name is Jiang Jianguo. He is a tailor. He has a small tailor shop in City A. His son, my cousin Jiang Zaide, is a designer. My second uncle Jiang Jianguo has opened a drug store and is planning to move the store during this period. Go to City A. His son is my second cousin named Jiang Shoucheng, who is studying for a master's degree at the Imperial Medical University. My father's third oldest son is named Jiang Jiankang. There is a cooking pot next to University A. My fourth uncle’s name is Jiang Jianye and my fifth uncle’s name is Jiang Jianshe. He co-opened a pet shop in City A. My fourth uncle’s son Jiang Ran is my third cousin, and he goes to college in Shanghai. Uncle Wu has twin daughters named Jiang Junlian and Jiang Junqing, who are still in junior high school." Jiang Feng briefly introduced the current situation of their family to Jiang Weiming.
"Okay, okay." Jiang Weiming kept nodding, "The five brothers are all in the same place and can help each other. Okay, it's great."
"How is your grandma's health?" Jiang Weiming asked with concern.
"My grandma is in good health. She doesn't get sick all year round. She can also play cards and dance in the square with the old ladies in the village," Jiang Feng said.
"Okay, okay." Jiang Weiming smiled, with tears in his eyes unconsciously, "Your third grandma is not good anymore. She fell down when she went out seven years ago. She didn't make it through, and she's gone."
Jiang Feng didn't know how to answer the question.
He didn't expect such a heavy topic to come up during rehearsal last night.
By chance, the Long Chao Shou was ready, and the store brought out a bowl of Long Chao Shou to ease the embarrassment.
"Xiao Feng, come on, let's eat some hands." Jiang Weiming greeted.
This bowl of Long Chao Shou is different from the one Jiang Feng ate at the Internet celebrity shop before. It is smaller than the one at the Internet celebrity shop, but the skin is very thin. Jiang Feng can see the color of the meat inside after wrapping it in two layers, so it can be called thin. As thin as paper and as thin as silk. In a bowl of more than a dozen noodles, not one skin was broken, which is enough to show the maker's skills in rolling the skin.
The ingredients are very simple, a spoonful of special red oil, a little chopped green onion and coriander. When stirred, you can still vaguely see the original milky white soup. The red oil is very fragrant and dyes the hand with a layer of red.
It was still a little hot when it came out of the pan, so Jiang Feng carefully bit off half of it.
The meat is fresh pork leg, chopped very finely, and eggs are added to make it tender and juicy. Egg liquid is also added to the skin, and you can feel its smoothness and delicateness when you touch it on your tongue.
Just, a little spicy.
The soup is stock, thick and fragrant. Jiang Feng felt that this bowl of Long Chao Shou would be fine without adding red oil. Adding it would make it more spicy, but it would also be more harmful to people like him who are not good at eating spicy food.
Suddenly, Jiang Feng felt his throat felt a little itchy.
After coughing twice, red oil choked into his throat.
The situation became serious now. Jiang Feng burst into tears on the spot and coughed uncontrollably, wishing he could cough up his lungs.
"What's wrong? Is it too spicy? Water, come on, drink water!" Jiang Weiming also panicked, like a well-intentioned child who had done something bad. He hurriedly poured water for Jiang Feng and accidentally spilled it on his sleeve.
"It's okay, it's okay, I'm just choking." Jiang Feng took off his down jacket, comforted the somewhat panicked Jiang Weiming, and rolled up his sleeves to wipe the water with paper.
There is also a scar on his right wrist that was newly burned with oil some time ago. It is normal for chefs to have knife wounds and burns on their hands, but his scar is a bit big, and it is fresh and can be seen from a distance. See.
"Xiao Feng, this on your hand..." Jiang Weiming also saw the scar.
"I accidentally burned it when I was cooking some time ago. It will fade away after a while and it'll be fine." Jiang Feng casually wiped away the water, put down his sleeves, and put on his down jacket, "When I don't have classes, I help out in the shop at home. My three cousins and I all had to learn cooking from my grandfather when we were young. I took the longest time and am still learning now.”
"Okay, okay." These words from Jiang Weiming seemed to be more sincere than the previous ones, and they were also a bit gratifying, "My younger brother is better than me. He has not lost his family skills, unlike me, hey."
"Your third grandpa and I got married early, and your cousin is already over sixty years old. None of my two sons or two daughters have inherited my craftsmanship, and the juniors are not willing to learn from me. When I was in the state-owned hotel, I accepted one Apprentice, but talented No, I would have retired a long time ago and lived happily at home." Jiang Weiming looked regretful, "I thought Jiang's food was about to be cut off from me, but I didn't expect that my younger brother is better than me. ! ”
Jiang Feng was embarrassed to say that if he hadn't become a gamer inexplicably, he would have given up cooking long ago.
"Third Grandpa, are my cousin and cousins also in Shu?" Jiang Feng asked.
"Both your two cousins have married out of town! One in the south and one in the north. They are both older. It would be good to see each other once a year. Your first cousin is in Shu, but not in the provincial capital. He is in K city. Your second cousin In the Magic City, juniors are all over the place. Originally, your lobbyist wanted to take me over. I have been here for decades and I am not used to going to K City, so he comes to see me from time to time. I am fine alone. So as not to disturb them," Jiang Weiming said.
Jiang Feng felt a little sad as he listened.
"By the way, Xiaofeng, where did you see my photo?" Jiang Weiming asked.
"I saw it at Mr. Han Han Guishan's house." Jiang Feng said.
"Jingjing, we took a group photo back then. It was a group photo of our state-owned hotel employees before she insisted on marrying the guy surnamed Han and resigned. I didn't expect that girl to still keep it." Jiang Weiming said with a smile, "Fate Ah, what a fate.”
Jiang Feng breathed a long sigh of relief. He almost forgot that in the past, people who took expensive photos didn't usually take photos. Fortunately, there was a group photo, otherwise he would have been a gangster.
"Xiao Feng, your grandfather knows..."
"My grandpa doesn't know that I came to see you yet. I wasn't sure at first and didn't want him to be happy in vain, so..." Jiang Feng explained.
"Good boy, such a good boy." Jiang Weiming couldn't help but sigh. Seeing that Long Chao Shou was no longer steaming, he quickly said, "Xiao Feng, eat Chao Shou first, eat it while it's hot and it's delicious!"
The old man and the young man were asking and answering questions like this. Jiang Feng would answer whatever Jiang Weiming asked and tell him everything he knew. Jiang Weiming was happy to hear anything, and no matter who Jiang Feng was talking about, he was happy to listen.
He separated from Jiang Weiguo when he was a child. After a long time, his memory of Jiang Weiguo is very limited. Now listening to Jiang Feng's words, Jiang Weiming felt like he remembered his younger brother when he was a child, the seven brothers, Jiang Chengde, and even his little aunt Jiang Huiqin. The best memory of his youth at that time was also the best memory of his life.
The two of them stayed in this small shop and chatted all morning.
Jiang Feng felt that it was almost time. He had almost finished what he had prepared last night, and now it was time to release the most important news.
"Um, Third Grandpa, do you still remember Jiang Huiqin?" Jiang Feng asked. *This chapter is an additional update! _(ω ∠)_
