Chapter 474 Roasted Sweet Potatoes (4000 words)
When Jiang Feng and others arrived at Jiang Weiming's house, Jiang Weiming was sitting in the living room wrapped in a quilt and watching TV, while Uncle Wu was making pear soup for Jiang Weiming in the kitchen. The pear soup in the kitchen was already on the verge of being cooked. Jiang Jianshe only took a quick glance at the people coming, Jiang Feng and Ji Xia, and hurried back to the kitchen without even seeing the two brothers Dong Shi and Dong Li behind him.
Jiang Feng first glanced at the TV, which was playing "Why Women Kill Season 1" projected by a mobile phone. Jiang Weiming always followed the trend of the times and would never watch old dramas from ten years ago like the old man did. Everyone in the Jiang family has very different tastes in watching dramas. Although Jiang Weiming is old, he is not old at heart. He watches almost all kinds of dramas, including British, American, Hong Kong and Korean dramas. He especially likes suspense dramas, and even occasionally idol dramas with vampire themes. Jiang Feng vaguely remembered that during the Chinese New Year last year, Jiang Junlian pestered Jiang Weiming to discuss a famous idol drama with vampires as the theme for a long time.
The old man doesn’t watch TV series most of the time. If he wants to watch one, he has a special liking for the Anti-Japanese War drama. No matter how old the drama is, even if it is from ten years ago or even twenty or thirty years ago, he will look for it whenever he thinks of it. Come out and take a look. But sometimes the old man would be forced by Grandma Jiang to watch dramas with her. The same was true for Jiang Feng's uncles, including Jiang Jiankang. Who said watching a drama alone is too boring? You must bring your husband to discuss the plot together to make it interesting.
The female members of the Jiang family, represented by Grandma Jiang, only love family ethics and occasionally watch palace dramas and period dramas. Jiang Feng can often hear Comrade Wang Xiulian and her aunts and uncles gathering together to discuss a certain family drama that has recently been broadcast. The husband in the ethics drama is such a scumbag, and the mistress is so shameless.
When it comes to the juniors of the Jiang family, the tastes are more diverse. Jiang Zaide has no time to watch TV dramas. His limited life has been devoted to unlimited work to make money and revise manuscripts. It would be no different if he was allowed to spare time to watch TV dramas. To seek wealth and kill.
Because Jiang Shoucheng studied medicine, he has a special liking for medical dramas, especially Japanese drama series. A bottle of iodine can be poured on the highway to open the chest. It is the first of its kind in the world. It is the most difficult in the world. Cutting out tumors is like cutting out hemorrhoids. There are new cancer patients in every episode. This type is Jiang Shoucheng's favorite. .
Jiang Feng once suspected that Jiang Shoucheng had secretly practiced the walking style of handsome male doctors in Japanese dramas - hands in pockets, expressionless face, cold eyes, walking with wind, and a white coat can also be worn to create the effect of a windbreaker, in the corridor of the hospital You can also get out of the T stage posture.
But from what Jiang Feng saw so far, Jiang Shoucheng's practice was very unsuccessful.
Because Jiang Ran doesn't participate in the main plot all year round, he doesn't even go home much during summer vacations since he went to college. We only see him frequently during the Chinese New Year, so no one knows what kind of TV series he likes.
Because the two sisters Jiang Junqing and Jiang Junlian are still young, they are still at the stage where they don't look at anything except their faces. As long as it is played by their favorite male star, they can watch any bizarre plot.
As for Jiang Feng, he should be regarded as the person in the entire Jiang family who has the most diverse tastes in watching TV. He can watch all types of TV. When I was a child, I watched family ethics dramas and palace battle dramas with Grandma Jiang. When I was a little older, I watched Anti-Japanese War dramas with the old man. When I was in college, I played mahjong every day with a few boys in the dormitory next door and watched idol dramas that I didn’t want to be known about.
Jiang Feng once thought that idol dramas were his limit, but after getting Ji Yue's TV list, Jiang Feng was completely opened to a new world. He found that TV dramas should not be limited to idol dramas, ethics dramas, inspirational dramas, and business war dramas. inside a narrow frame.
TV dramas can be very changeable. They can have unilateral sex change, both sex changes, the nephew falls in love with the uncle, the mother-in-law falls in love with the daughter-in-law, the palace falls in love with the mistress, the brother falls in love with...
Ahem, that’s too far off topic.
There is a heater in the living room and the temperature is very comfortable. The quilt on Jiang Weiming actually only covers his upper body, and his lower body is wearing thickened cotton trousers. The cotton shoes are extra thick ones made by Grandma Jiang herself. Jiang Feng also has a pair of the same cotton shoes, which have so much cotton. It's a little difficult to put your feet in.
It seems that Jiang Weiming has learned the lesson of catching cold in the past two days and has taken very good measures to keep warm.
Seeing Jiang Feng coming, Jiang Weiming put down the hot tea in his hand, squinted at Jiang Jianshe's cell phone on the tea table, pressed pause, and the picture on the TV stopped.
"Xiao Feng and Xia Xia are here." Jiang Weiming said with a smile, his voice was a little hoarse, but it was much better than yesterday.
The two brothers Dong Shi and Dong Li walked in, and Jiang Feng quickly introduced them to Jiang Weiming.
"Grandpa Third, they are the new employees who were hired yesterday. I heard that you had a bad throat and specially made Beixing Pig Lung Soup to see you." Jiang Feng said.
Jiang Weiming nodded to Dong Shi and Dong Li with a smile, and coughed twice: "What a good boy, you have a heart."
Jiang Feng took the lunch box from Dong Shi and went into the kitchen to put the apricot pork lung soup in the lunch box into a bowl for Jiang Weiming to eat. Jiang Jianshe was staring at the pear soup in the pot intently.
Among Jiang Feng's uncles, Jiang Jianshe's cooking skills were the worst. Jiang Feng only took one look at the pear soup in the pot and knew that the pear soup was just average.
Jiang Jianshe breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Jiang Feng carrying a lunch box into the kitchen. When he opened the lunch box, which contained still warm pig lung soup, he breathed a sigh of relief: "Xiao Feng, thank you for making the pig lung soup carefully, otherwise your grandpa would come back and see me later." The stewed pear soup will definitely scold me.”
Jiang Feng felt ashamed after hearing Jiang Jianshe's words. It was not him but the brothers Dong Shi and Dong Li who had the intention. He just thought that with his uncle, second uncle, fourth uncle and fifth uncle in the family, there would definitely be someone to take care of him and not need him, but he forgot that the elders actually had their own things to be busy with.
"This soup was made by the two new chefs hired yesterday." Jiang Feng explained.
Beixing Pig Lung Soup is a medicated dish. This type of dish is not what the Jiang family is good at. The only medicated dish Jiang Feng knows how to make is Babao Tofu.
The lunch box has good heat preservation, and Jiang Feng can still feel its temperature when he ladles the soup into the bowl. Pig lung soup has high nutritional value and can relieve coughs, reduce phlegm and nourish the lungs. It is a very common medicinal diet, and its taste is also good.
The taste of most medicinal dishes is far inferior to ordinary dishes, and the few delicious medicinal dishes have been carefully improved by masters. Dong Shi's cooking skills are good. He stewed the pork lung soup with apricots very lightly. The clear soup made it possible to see the ingredients inside at a glance. The pork lungs and large apricots cut into small pieces were still fresh when stirred. You can smell a slight hint of ginger juice, which is very nourishing.
"Uncle Fifth, this is your soup?" Jiang Feng asked, looking at Jiang Jianshe's unfinished pear soup. Third Grandpa would definitely not be able to drink the pear soup after drinking pig lung soup.
"I'll drink it myself." Jiang Jianshe said, "Your Third Grandpa's appetite is much better today than yesterday, and he coughs much less frequently. Your Third Grandpa kept coughing before going to bed last night, but it worried me badly. If If it was not too late, I called Chengcheng again and he said it was normal for the medicine to not take effect so quickly. I will take your third grandfather to the hospital again."
"Uncle Wu, I will take the soup out first."
"Go ahead, I'll go out when the pear soup is ready." Jiang Jianshe nodded.
When Jiang Feng brought the soup to the living room, the two brothers Dong Shi and Dong Li were sitting very reservedly on the sofa chatting with Jiang Weiming. They couldn't let go of their hands and feet because of nervousness. They looked very stiff. Ji Xia was staring at Stillness. The TV picture was in a daze.
Jiang Feng brought the pig lung soup to Jiang Weiming, and Jiang Weiming took a small sip of the soup with a spoon. Even though the light pig lung soup has no taste to him, he can still use his rich experience to judge that this is a very careful and excellent pig lung soup.
"The heat is well controlled. You are worthy of being a disciple taught by Master Huang." Jiang Weiming praised.
"Grandpa Third, do you know Master Huang?" Jiang Feng was very surprised.
"I don't know them, but I've heard of them. When I was still in a state-owned hotel, I heard an outside guest mention that there was a pair of powerful junior brothers in Suzhou. The senior brother's surname was Huang, who was good at Subang cuisine, and the junior brother's surname was Zheng, who was good at Bai'an dim sum. Just now. When the two young directors talked about it, I remembered that the Master Huang I knew should be their master." Jiang Weiming explained.
Because he stayed in Shu all year round and had inconvenient transportation in the early years, Jiang Weiming rarely saw non-local chefs. Most of the news was from hearsay.
To chefs elsewhere, Jiang Weiming is a legend in his own right. Most older chefs know that in the early years there was a master chef in Shu who was as good as Grandpa Wu Minqi, but very few people have seen him.
In one year, Jiang Weiming can definitely be regarded as a senior in the entire culinary world.
"Master Jiang, you are so awesome. You actually know our uncle." Dong Shi praised.
"Huh? What's wrong with Master Zheng?" Jiang Weiming asked.
"Our uncle has never been famous." Dong Li took the initiative to explain. "In the early years, our uncle worked in a state-owned hotel like the master. Later, the master opened his own restaurant, but the uncle no longer engaged in cooking. Go and do other business.”
Jiang Weiming frowned: "What about your uncle's craftsmanship?"
"It was passed on to his son. His son seems to have opened a small snack shop of his own. Master and uncle have not had much contact in recent years. They usually meet during the Chinese New Year." Dong Li said.
When Jiang Feng heard what Dong Li said, he suddenly thought of someone.
"What is your uncle's son's name?" Jiang Feng asked.
Dong Li was stunned, thought for a while, and felt a little unsure: "It seems to be called... Zheng... Zheng Si... Si..."
"Is your name Zheng Siyuan?"
"It seems to be called this." Dong Li nodded.
Jiang Feng couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. How could Ling Guangzhao be so well-informed? He could find out such famous teachers and disciples hiding in the market.
The master Bai An of Babao Zhai is Zheng Siyuan.
The pearl casts a secret shadow!
"Does your master have any other brothers?" Jiang Feng asked.
Dong Shi and Dong Li shook their heads together, somewhat confused as to why Jiang Feng would ask this.
"If you have time, you can make an appointment with Master Zheng to exchange feelings. He is also working in Beiping at Babaozhai. By the way, I will add you to the group, and you can chat in the group."
Jiang Weiming listened for a while and realized what he was saying: "Is it Master Bai An who made mooncakes before?"
"That's the one." Jiang Feng nodded.
Jiang Weiming didn't have any other ideas. He was just happy that the two brothers Dong Shi and Dong Li could meet their classmates in Peking: "It's really fate."
Dong Shi and Dong Li were still a little confused.
Jiang Feng and others chatted with Jiang Weiming for a while. Ji Xia was asked by Jiang Jianshe to drink a bowl of average-tasting snow pear soup. They left after seeing that the time was almost up.
After leaving, Ji Xia never forgot the roasted sweet potatoes and fried chicken tenders that Jiang Feng promised her. As always, the sweet potato seller stood at the gate of the community despite the cold wind, letting the north wind blow the aroma of roasted sweet potatoes throughout the street, making her Everyone who passed by couldn't help but take a deep breath and walk towards him with their feet disobedient.
Like every sweet potato seller, this sweet potato seller has a simple and honest smile on his face. He has an ordinary appearance, thick and simple clothes, and looks a little dirty up close.
As soon as he saw someone coming, the sweet potato seller smiled and said: "Hey, you came quite early today."
Ji Xia's smile froze on her face.
Among the four people present, the two brothers Dong Shi and Dong Li had just arrived in Peiping and hadn't even settled on a place to live. Jiang Feng's words that he only bought sweet potatoes once a week at most were definitely not meant for him.
Jiang Feng looked at Ji Xia.
Ji Xia took a step back guiltily.
"Quite early?"
"Master, I just...I only eat these days. Really, only these days!" Ji Xia quickly explained.
Although Ji Xia didn't have to go to Li's house to cook pig food for Dahua every day because her hands were frozen, Jiang Feng would give Ji Xia some money every dinner time to buy the snacks Comrade Wang Xiulian wanted to eat or the milk tea Wu Minqi wanted to drink. This is the source of Ji Xia's fixed pocket money, and the rest is her pocket money.
But Jiang Feng didn't expect that Ji Xia, who had bought 99.67 yuan oranges for 100 yuan, would now secretly eat roasted sweet potatoes behind their backs.
No wonder Ji Xia was not thin but plump even though she was forbidden to eat snacks during this period. Jiang Feng always thought that it was because she ate more in winter that she gained weight easily.
"Boss, take a small one." Jiang Feng started to scan the QR code to pay, then turned to Ji Xia and said, "Fried chicken has become so hot lately that it can easily lead to throat inflammation. It's better not to eat the fried chicken fillet and eat a small roasted chicken. Just sweet potatoes.”
Ji Xia: ヾ(Д)“
Dong Li saw Ji Xia's expression on the side and couldn't help but want to, and finally suppressed it and maintained his aloof persona. Dong Li turned to look at his younger brother and found that Dong Shi was staring intently at the roasted sweet potatoes on the table, obviously thinking about which one to buy.
"If you want to buy it, hurry up." Dong Li whispered.
Dong Shi pointed to the biggest one and said: "Boss, I want this."
"The big ones are not tasty, and the ones with no taste in the middle are not sweet." Ji Xia reminded in a low voice.
Dong Shi quickly changed his words: "Boss, it's not this. Give me this and this, two small ones."
When the wind blows, the aroma of roasted sweet potatoes becomes stronger.
It's as if just by smelling it, you can imagine how delicious the orange-red, soft and sweet sweet potato flesh is after you peel off the black skin of the roasted sweet potato.
Warm in the palm of the hand, fragrant in the tip of the nose, sweet in the heart.
Ji Xia: QAQ
She also wanted to eat two. (End of chapter)
