Chapter 415 Payment
When Wu Minqi came to the back kitchen of Tai Feng Building carrying crabs and oranges, she saw Jiang Feng staring at a pot with a tomato in the pot.
Still an underripe tomato.
There were also two pots placed on the two stoves next to Jiang Feng. The water in the pots rolled from time to time, symbolizing that they were about to boil.
"Fengfeng, what are you cooking tomatoes for?" Wu Minqi put the crabs and oranges on the cooking table and asked curiously.
"I'm testing how much energy the water still has after boiling." Jiang Feng said.
He is a chef, and what he knows best is the ingredients. Of course, he has to experiment with the ingredients.
Wu Minqi approached, obviously very interested in Jiang Feng's experiment: "Why do you want to do this experiment? Is this the topic of your graduation thesis?"
"No, no." Jiang Feng quickly denied, joking, how could this be the topic of his graduation thesis? The topic of his graduation thesis was...
Hey, what is the topic of his graduation thesis?
Did he start the topic?
It seems that he will have to discuss his graduation thesis with Professor Li in a while.
"I came up with a new method of steaming crabs and stuffing oranges." Jiang Feng started his nonsense show time.
"New method?" Wu Minqi trusted Jiang Feng as her boyfriend and would not doubt what Jiang Feng said in most cases. When Wu Minqi heard Jiang Feng say that he had discovered a new method, Wu Minqi's first reaction was not to think about why Jiang Feng could find a breakthrough in the dishes he was studying every time in just a few days, but to ask excitedly: "What new method? Steaming can also be used Is there any other way? ”
"Stew." Jiang Feng said.
"Stew?" Wu Minqi didn't react. She didn't have a grandma who was good at stewing rice in an earthen stove, so she couldn't associate this method with just one short word.
"Do you still remember that I kept telling you that there was something wrong with the heat? After I finished cooking it for my grandfather and third grandfather this morning, they also felt that there was something wrong with the heat. The flavors of orange meat and crab meat were not very harmonious. Then the third grandfather suggested I steamed it slowly over low heat. I was thinking that the taste of the orange meat might change even if it was steamed over low heat. Is there a gentler method than steaming over low heat? Then I thought of it. Stew, Qiqi, I don’t know you Do you still remember the wood-burning earthen stoves in the countryside? When our family cooks in the countryside, stewing rice must be the last step. There is no fire left in the stove, and the remaining temperature and heat are used to simmer the rice. This step is usually done My grandma did it. "Jiang Feng is now very proficient in lying. He can make up all kinds of lies. Nine out of ten sentences are true and one is false. As long as the most critical sentence is a lie, he can tell one. The perfect lie.
As expected, Wu Minqi was fooled into it by Jiang Feng. She listened attentively and nodded repeatedly: "I know that kind of earthen stove. I have also used it to cook vegetables. It has good heat retention and can definitely be used to stew rice."
"It's a pity that we don't have an earthen stove here." Jiang Feng sighed, "Our stove dissipates heat too quickly, and it will be cold within a few minutes of turning off the heat."
"That's why you're here to test the heat of boiling water." Wu Minqi suddenly realized, but still a little confused, "But the crab-stuffed oranges are steamed. Fengfeng, why did you boil the tomatoes in water?"
Jiang Feng:...
Yeah, what is he doing?
Shouldn't he steam a sweet potato or corn or something?
Maybe because...
Jiang Feng turned his attention to the pile of tomatoes on the side.
I haven’t had tomato and egg soup for a long time. When I see tomatoes, I can’t help but want to make soup.
"But Fengfeng, you are still very good. Third Grandpa just told you to try it on low heat and you will come up with this method of stewing. If it were me, I would never think that stewing can be used to make crab-stuffed oranges." Wu Minqi He smiled and praised, "My Fengfeng is the most powerful."
When there are only two people, Wu Minqi will always exaggerate when speaking.
After all, she is also a woman who has watched many idol dramas.
Although Jiang Feng felt that he was very powerful in his heart, he still had to be modest and modest on the surface. After all, what he just said was a lie. It was impossible for him to think of the stew method. This method was thought of by Master Peng, but Jiang Feng could not praise Master Peng, so he could only praise Grandma Jiang.
"It's mainly due to my grandma. If my grandma hadn't been stewing rice for so many years to save firewood, I wouldn't have thought of using the stew method all of a sudden." Jiang Feng said modestly.
Since the place selling oranges is very close, Jiang Weiguo, who has been eavesdropping outside the door, has returned early:...
Third brother and I came here early in the morning to give you advice and guidance, why not the stewed rice your grandma cooked for you to save firewood?
Unfilial grandson!
Jiang Weiguo turned around angrily, carried the orange and walked twice in the lobby of Tai Feng Building. Under the puzzled eyes of the waiters, he walked back to the kitchen with an expressionless expression.
Jiang Feng and Wu Minqi had already taken out the steamer. Jiang Feng was chopping corn and Wu Minqi was washing sweet potatoes.
"Ahem." Jiang Weiguo coughed twice.
The cough immediately attracted the attention of Jiang Feng and Wu Minqi. Jiang Feng turned around and saw the old man holding a bag of oranges in his hand, and quickly stepped forward to take the oranges.
"Grandpa, why did you suddenly go out to buy oranges? We still have a lot of oranges at home. If you want to eat them, I can send them to you in the evening. You don't have to buy them." Jiang Feng, the filial grandson, said.
"I didn't buy oranges just for you, an inexperienced thing like you." Jiang Weiguo handed the oranges to Jiang Feng. He was tired after carrying the oranges for so long. "Don't you look at all the oranges you picked?" What oranges? Do you think picking oranges is a beauty pageant? Which one looks better? Will the crab-stuffed oranges taste normal if they are sweet or sour? Don’t use those oranges for cooking. Keep them for yourself. Use them for cooking. These oranges I bought for you.”
Jiang Feng was stunned. He didn't expect that his grandfather went out to buy oranges specifically for himself.
"The third grandpa..."
"Your Third Grandpa went to buy crabs for you." Jiang Weiguo said angrily, "Did you use hairy crabs for the crab-stuffed oranges you made today? Do you think choosing crabs means choosing fat ones, and whichever one is fatter will be more delicious?"
Jiang Feng:? ? ?
Isn't it?
"I'm going to scold your dad when he comes. How did he teach you? You don't even know how to choose crabs and oranges. If you don't have these two ingredients in the kitchen, you don't need to know them? Your grandma has been making them for you all these years. The stewed rice really went into the pig's belly." Jiang Feng would never guess the real reason why the old man scolded him.
After scolding his grandson Jiang Weiguo, he felt much relieved and began to ask, knowingly: "What are you steaming here?"
Jiang Feng quickly told the old man what he had just said to Wu Minqi.
The old man nodded: "The earth stove is fine, but the gas stove is not tasty."
"I know, so what I thought was to simmer it first, then simmer it, and then simmer it again. As long as the temperature in the pot is maintained at a level that is neither too high nor too low, I think the crab-stuffed orange can fully absorb the flavor. "What Jiang Feng wants is unripe oranges.
Hearing what Jiang Feng said, Jiang Weiguo was really impressed by this grandson. Not only could he draw inferences from one instance, but he could also adapt measures to local conditions.
He wouldn't say that he didn't even think of making crab-stuffed orange by stewing.
Of course, if the old lady suddenly cooked a meal in front of him one day, maybe he would be able to think of it.
Thinking about it this way, Xiaofeng seemed to be right in praising the old lady. She is the only one in the entire Jiang family who knows how to stew rice to save firewood. If the old woman hadn't insisted on stewing rice for so many years, no one would have thought of this method.
The old man's mood suddenly felt much better, and he could be said to be quite happy.
When my mood improved, my attitude naturally improved. Looking at the steamer on the stove, the old man couldn't help but smile and said, "Then you can continue to think about it. I won't disturb you anymore."
Jiang Feng was flattered.
The old man was about to leave, but Wu Minqi suddenly spoke.
"Grandpa Jiang, you just said that Third Grandpa went to buy hairy crabs, right?" Wu Minqi asked.
The old man nodded.
"Did he bring so much cash? Would it be inconvenient to bring so much cash?" Wu Minqi then asked.
Speaking of this, the old man seemed a little proud: "You don't need to bring cash, we can also pay with your young people's mobile phones."
Jiang Feng was shocked. He didn't expect the two old men to be so wet. He was about to blow a wave of rainbow farts at the right time when he heard Wu Minqi's next question.
"Are your WeChat and Alipay linked to bank cards?"
The old man was stunned.
“What bank card?”
Do you need to bind a bank card? Isn’t it just a matter of scanning or clicking to pay via mobile phone?
Isn’t that just swiping a card? What’s the point of mobile payment?
The old man was greatly shocked.
"Grandpa, how did you pay?" Jiang Feng also realized that something seemed wrong.
The old man was a little confused and took out his mobile phone and pointed at WeChat: "I gave the mobile phone to the cashier, she clicked on this and paid."
"There is no need to tie up a bank card." The old man emphasized.
Jiang Feng seemed to understand.
Although the old man didn't have a bank card tied to him, he still had a lot of money in his balance. When you could grab red envelopes on WeChat, in order to show Mr. Jiang and Grandma Jiang that they were filial sons or grandsons, everyone in the Jiang family would often send out red envelopes in the WeChat group and say, "This red envelope is for grandpa," or "This red envelope is for grandpa." It's for grandma. Let the two old people take it slow.
As time goes by, the old man and Grandma Jiang never use mobile phones to pay. The money in their WeChat balance is definitely more than enough to buy an orange. For example, buying oranges or durians is not a waste.
But this does not mean that the money in Jiang Weiming’s WeChat and Alipay balances is enough for him to buy hairy crabs.
According to the current price of hairy crabs, it’s as fast as Third Grandpa’s to grab red envelopes. Jiang Feng calmly analyzed it and thought that Third Grandpa might be able to buy eight crab legs.
Jiang Feng sighed. He knew that it was time for his wallet to bleed.
The third grandfather bought the crabs all for him, and he should really pay for it.
And Comrade Wang Xiulian will definitely not reimburse him for this money.
I don’t know why Comrade Wang Xiulian not only counts her husband’s small treasury, but also her own son’s small treasury.
"Grandpa is fine. I'll transfer the money to Third Grandpa and he can buy it." Jiang Feng said, taking out his mobile phone and pressing three zeros when transferring money.
On the other side, Jiang Weiming, who knew nothing about it, picked up a large bag of hairy crabs according to the weight he could lift, handed the mobile phone to the merchant and asked him to take it and pay the bill.
After paying the bill, Jiang Weiming returned the same way with the hairy crabs. At the same time, he couldn't help but sigh that times are indeed different now, and he doesn't even need to bring cash with him to pay.
Hey, why does he have so much money in his mobile phone?
Yes, where does the money in the mobile phone come from?
After Jiang Weiming left, the boss selling aquatic products was still lamenting to the people next to him: "Let me just say, the richest people in Peiping are still these old men and women. Look at the old man just now, he spent more than four thousand yuan without even looking at it. It’s like buying a bottle of water in a blink of an eye.”
Others nodded repeatedly.
“The main reason is that your hairy crabs are expensive.”
"Hey, look at what you said, why are my hairy crabs so expensive? The quality of my hairy crabs is good! Look at that old man just now. So many places don't sell them, so you have to come to my house to buy them. They don't want cheap ones, only good ones, you know You!" (End of Chapter)
