Chapter 89 Vegetable Market
Jiang Feng had just got on the minibus back to City Z and was arguing with several cousins in the WeChat group on the bumpy road when Jiang Jiankang called.
"Hey, son, where have you been? Your things are gone and your suitcase is gone. Are you having a conflict with grandpa? Dad knows that you have been working really hard these days. If you can't bear it, you can tell me. If you can't, dad can help. Go and persuade grandpa, dad is not afraid of being scolded, where are you now?" Jiang Jiankang shouted in a loud voice.
"Yes, son, my mother has noticed your behavior during this period. Don't hold it back. If you have something to say, don't imitate those kids in TV dramas who run away from home. Tell your mother where you are. Go and tell her." Pick you up!" Wang Xiulian shouted from the side.
"Yes, Xiaofeng, you have something to say! You are running away from home just before the Chinese New Year. Doesn't it make your grandma worried?" Jiang Jiandang also agreed.
Jiang Feng:...
"Dad, mom, second uncle, grandpa gave me a holiday and asked me to go back to the city for two days and come back on the 24th! Grandpa didn't tell you?"
There was silence on the other side of the phone.
"Ahem, your grandpa and third grandpa are not here, and they don't have their mobile phones with them. We thought..." Jiang Jiankang said sarcastically.
"No, son, your grandfather said he would let you come back again?" Jiang Jiankang suddenly realized.
"That's more or less what it means. When it's the 24th day of the New Year, the uncles and the others can go to the countryside to celebrate the New Year. Isn't it the day after tomorrow? I'll come back with them." Jiang Feng said.
"Second brother, it's not good!" Jiang Jiankang's expression was as if the sky had fallen, and he ignored his cell phone.
"What's wrong? Dad Twenty-Four will definitely let Big Brother and the others come back. Xiao Feng is right." Jiang Jiandang did not react.
"When Xiaofeng left, there was no one to cook the pig food. Dad would definitely have to cook the pig food. Where are the four pigs? How could dad still have time to cook for us when he was cooking pig food!" Jiang Jiankang felt bitter.
Jiang Jiandang and Wang Xiulian:!!!∑(°Д°ノ)ノ
"Son, how about you come back? It's only a few days anyway. My parents are still in the country. There's no point in going home and living alone." Wang Xiulian took the phone and discussed.
Jiang Feng:...
It’s okay if parents don’t want this kind of thing.
……
After riding on the minibus for two hours, Jiang Feng finally arrived in Z city. He took the bus directly home. As soon as he put his suitcase at home, Jiang Feng went to a movie theater closest to home.
After buying a ticket for a movie that had recently started checking in, Jiang Feng put a bucket of popcorn in his left hand, added ice to double the Happy Fat House Water in his right hand, and checked in.
With a mouthful of caramel popcorn and a sip of happy fat house water, Jiang Feng held the simple happiness with both hands and also enjoyed the joy of booking the venue.
The movie is a bad one. It is said to be a horror movie that is not as scary as Wang Hao talking in his sleep at night. The plot is confusing and the acting is awkward. It is worse than not sleeping at night and listening to Wang Hao talking in his sleep. Fei Zhai Shui is just Pepsi with ice. The caramel popcorn is too sweet and gets tired after eating it for a while, and there are residues when chewing.
Jiang Feng silently drank the Happy Fat House water in the cup and shook it. The ice cubes in it made a duangduang sound. He estimated that it was only half a cup. He came here to relax, but there seemed to be no place for him to relax in the cinema here.
After feeling a little distressed about paying for the tickets and popcorn, Jiang Feng silently left the scene, leaving the heroine on the screen screaming at the empty theater.
Wandering aimlessly in the mall, Jiang Feng suddenly realized that he couldn't seem to find anything to do.
Invite a few good buddies to have dinner and drink at a KTV? No restaurant in Z city can match the craftsmanship of the old man. Jiang Feng, who is tone-deaf and has a broken voice, has been an insulator in ktv since junior high school. What's more, his only two children have been packed up by their parents to go back to the countryside for the New Year. .
Looking for some cousins? It's even more impossible. Chatting in the WeChat group has reached its limit. Jiang Zaide met a difficult client. Even after the annual vacation, he still works on the computer every day to rush to draft. His hairline moves back at a speed visible to the naked eye. Every day In the group, he cursed this client to lose his hair and be bald for the rest of his life. When Jiang Shoucheng was in Shuiqun, he was holding his thick ninth edition of "Surgery" and grabbing his hair. Jiang Ran was so tired of spending time with his girlfriend every day that he had no time to share with his cousin.
study?
Jiang Feng was immediately frightened by his terrible thought. Learning was impossible. He would never learn in this life. Even if he was locked in the kitchen every day and practiced cooking, Jiang Feng would not choose to learn.
What to do?
Jiang Feng sat in a rest area of the mall in a daze, a little confused.
He has almost lost his temper in practicing cooking these days, but he can't think of anything else to do besides practicing cooking.
Not as good as...
Go to the vegetable market!
There is a large-scale vegetable market nearby, which is open until nine o'clock in the evening. Jiang Feng has been taken to buy vegetables by Comrade Wang Xiulian since he was a child, and he knows the stalls of this vegetable market very well.
After walking for about 20 minutes from the mall, Jiang Feng arrived at the main entrance of the vegetable market.
There are three stalls selling braised vegetables at the door. One of them is the same. They are all terrible. The meat is tasteless and the vegetables are not fresh. They are specially designed to deceive strangers. They have been open for many years. There are always people who are brave enough to take the bait.
This vegetable market is very large. It should be regarded as the largest and oldest vegetable market in Z City. It has one or two hundred stalls, selling everything from birds, animals, seafood and vegetables. If you are lucky, you can also meet people from neighboring counties and villages. Collected game, such as pheasants, rabbits, vegetables, snakes, etc., although the game meat has a strong fishy smell, it is good to try it if you know how to handle it.
It's already mid-afternoon. The fresh vegetables, meat and rare game have all been bought by people who know the goods. The only meat stalls left are the minced meat and ribs that no one wants. The live poultry stalls There are quite a few chickens and ducks on offer, but they are all chickens for feed, so they can’t compete.
Jiang Feng waved around randomly and didn't buy it. Most of the stall owners here have not changed. Jiang Feng recognizes them all. Some even remember Jiang Feng. They don’t know that Jiankang Snacks has closed. They ask Jiang Feng why several of his parents don’t come to buy food. Is there a new supply? Discussed.
After walking around, Jiang Feng actually stuffed a small handful of green vegetables, a small stick of corn, two cloves of garlic and a few green onions into his hand. They were all not very fresh. They were stuffed by the stall owner while he was chatting with him. .
With the stall owner's thoughts in mind, Jiang Feng wondered if he should buy some food and go back to make dinner for himself.
Today, my fourth uncle Jiang Jianye is cooking. He just posted it in the group, beef stew with potatoes.
Jiang Feng felt that it was better for him not to die.
Then I wandered around the vegetable market to see if there were any vegetables that could compete with the freshness, and bought a fish, so that my meals for the past two days would be taken care of.
After finally finding a stall with good carrots and corn, Jiang Feng was squatting down to pick carrots when someone patted him on the back.
"Jiang Feng, it's really you! Xiuxiu told me that you had gone to the countryside a long time ago. I thought I was wrong."
Jiang Feng recognized it, it was Chen Xiuxiu's plastic sister Pan Ling.
She and Chen Xiuxiu had been sitting at the same table for the entire six years of junior high school and high school. They had a deep friendship, like twins. Jiang Feng had a good relationship with her, which was all due to eating together.
No, Jiang Feng didn't recognize him at first sight since they hadn't eaten together for several years.
"I just came back today. I will go back on the 24th." Jiang Feng said, seeing Pan Ling holding vegetables in his hand, he asked, "You also come to buy vegetables at this time."
"Xiu Xiu's father hasn't come back from a business trip yet. My parents are also on a business trip and there is no one at home. So Xiu Xiu said she would let me stay at her house tonight and we would cook hot pot. Well, isn't she buying meatballs there? ?" Pan Ling said.
Jiang Feng took a look at the vegetables Pan Ling bought and found that they were indeed hot pot ingredients. Lotus roots, white radish, enoki mushrooms, baby cabbage, tofu skin, shredded kelp and green vegetables, but Pan Ling really doesn't know how to pick vegetables. Jiang Feng could tell by just looking at the large white radish in her bag that it was a bit branless.
Use it to cook hot pot, and it won’t taste like scum.
"Would you like to eat with us? I'll buy some more potatoes." Pan Ling suggested.
"...Forget about potatoes. Potatoes at this time are not suitable for hot pot. Forget it, you come to my house to eat. Xiuxiu's family probably doesn't even have the seasonings." Jiang Feng opened his eyes and lied, "Let's buy some more vegetables, and , Did you pick the carrot yourself and the boss picked it for you?”
"Okay, you are much better at cooking than us. The boss picked it. He told me that the radish is very good, and the hot pot is very delicious." Pan Ling said happily.
Jiang Feng: "..."
"The boss is cheating on you. The carrots are all gone. Go find him and get another one."
