Chapter 506 Pork is in danger
At 10 a.m. on January 19, Jiang Feng boarded the train home with his suitcase in tow.
The only ones seeing them off were Mother Wu and Wu Minqi, and Mother Wu was still driving. Wu Hanxue maintained his persona as a cold father and a workaholic very well, choosing to go to work at the Wu Family Restaurant instead of sending his future son-in-law to the train station.
Although Wu Hanxue did not go to see him off, he gave Jiang Feng two jars of pickles, one short and fat, and one tall and thin before going out. The short and fat one is kimchi made by Mr. Wu himself, while the tall and thin one is made by Wu Hanxue. The kimchi jointly produced by the former chef and current chef of Wu Family Restaurant is definitely the highest courtesy.
At the same time, it was also an affirmation of Jiang Feng.
The high-speed train accompanied by kimchi is destined not to be too lonely...
Phew, high-speed trains are lonely when accompanied by anything, let alone kimchi. Even high-speed trains accompanied by roast duck, roast pig, and roasted camel are lonely as long as there is no Internet.
Jiang Feng leaned on the back of his chair in boredom and scrolled aimlessly through his phone, which could not display anything except WeChat and QQ messages. He was thinking about whether to find someone to harass and let the shady netizens accompany him through these ten long hours. Wang Hao, the number one representative of sand sculpture netizens, took the initiative to come to him.
Wang Hao: Brother Feng, you will never imagine what a brilliant thesis topic I came up with!
Jiang Feng sent a question mark with some confusion.
Wang Hao: Brother Feng, don’t be so cold. This thesis topic of mine is definitely a breakthrough in the history of graduation thesis in our School of Physics. It is unprecedented and unparalleled. It will be recorded in the annals of history. In the future, there will be countless students cheering for me. .
Wang Hao: This is a small step for me, but it is indeed a giant step for our School of Physics!
Jiang Feng:...
This kid must be stupid because he can't decide on the topic for his graduation thesis.
Jiang Feng: What topic did you set?
Wang Hao: History of the development of photonic crystals!
Jiang Feng:...
Jiang Feng held the mobile phone and could not speak for a long time. At this moment, he thought a lot, and even thought that photonic crystals were only independently proposed in 1987. If Wang Hao really wants to write about photonic crystals, this will definitely be modern history, and reform and opening up will be earlier than this.
Of course, what Jiang Feng thought about most was how Wang Hao would die after he handed in his proposal report when school started.
Will he be hacked to death by an angry mentor, or hammered to death by an angry mentor?
On the other end of the phone, Wang Hao, who was already at home happily in the fat house, didn't know that Jiang Feng was still looking forward to his death. He thought that he had come up with a wonderful graduation thesis topic while he was in the fat house, so he sent a message to Jiang Feng with great excitement. .
Wang Hao: Brother Feng, do you think this question of mine is particularly confusing?
Wang Hao: I have thought about it. Not only can I write the history of the development of photonic crystals, but I can also write the history of the development of optics, the history of lasers, the history of quantum mechanics, the history of quantum optics, the history of electromagnetic development. It is simply the history of the development of everything. We can write a history of the development of the series!
Jiang Feng silently exited the chat interface with Wang Hao and decided to let his former roommate calm down alone first.
After his excitement period is over and his IQ returns to the average, he will figure out how to die.
Wang Hao used facts to prove that trolling netizens could not help Jiang Feng relieve the boredom caused by long-distance high-speed rail. After thinking about it, Jiang Feng felt that on this day of family gatherings to welcome the New Year, the only people who could help him relieve his loneliness were his family, so he decided to go to the family group to announce the good news that he was coming back.
Oddly enough, the Jiang family has always been the busiest around the Chinese New Year, because in previous years it was only around the Chinese New Year that everyone could feast on the dishes cooked by the old man.
During the Chinese New Year in the past few years, especially when there were still people who could not make it back early due to various reasons, the Jiang family group would be very lively whenever they went to the hotel, and everyone would be able to read the messages one after another. Can't see it.
Post pictures before the meal, talk about your thoughts after the meal, interspersed with rainbow farts towards the old man, and when necessary, @ people who have not come back. It is a joyful time, drool and tears fly together, full stomach and fat coexist.
But this year, it is about to be the most exciting New Year's Eve, but the family group is as quiet as a chicken, as calm as a pool of stagnant water. It is even more silent than the class group that was blocked by Jiang Feng. It is simply a fantasy. During the days when Jiang Feng was in Shanghai and Shu, no one in the Jiang family sent any news.
Incredible!
In the past few days, Jiang Feng was either on the road or with his girlfriend, either spreading dog food or eating dog food, so he didn't notice this problem. Now that he was free, Jiang Feng realized that something seemed wrong.
It's not just something wrong, it's something very wrong.
Based on the personalities of Brother De and Brother Cheng, no matter how kind they are, they will at most not @ him when posting pictures, but they will definitely post pictures.
There is definitely something wrong with the group being so calm and lifeless.
Jiang Feng originally wanted to say "I'm back" to the large group, but after thinking about it, he felt it was inappropriate, so he joined a small group of several of his cousins.
Being a chef is great except you get up early: I'm back!
The great thing about being a chef is that I get up early: I can be at my grandpa’s house tomorrow morning!
Five minutes passed and no one paid attention to Jiang Feng.
Jiang Feng couldn't believe that no one was playing with their mobile phones during these five minutes.
After thinking for a while, Jiang Feng used his trump card.
Being a chef is good but you get up early: When I came back, Uncle Wu and Grandpa Wu gave me two cans of kimchi and I will take them back together tomorrow. Besides kimchi, is there anything else you want me to take back with you?
Although there are delicacies cooked by the old man himself and Sanwu snacks and spicy sticks in the canteen in the countryside, there are always some snacks that cannot be bought in the village or town.
The Jiang family's junior who loves snacks always has half a box of snacks in his suitcase when he returns to his hometown.
After two minutes, someone finally responded to the message.
It’s good to study design, but I don’t have much hair: Brother, please come back with the lead.
Jiang Feng:? ? ?
Bringing the lead pig back? ? ?
Is this the latest popular New Year greeting? You are so hard-core about bringing New Year’s goods when you go home these days, why don’t you just bring pigs without anything else?
Being a chef is great except you get up early: Pig? ? ? ?
It's good to be in the emergency department, but the salary is low: Yes, brother, don't bring anything else. It's useless to bring anything else now. Grandpa just wants a pig. If you have a way, get a pig that's similar to Big Flower, Two Flower, and Three Flower.
Jiang Feng was confused by the replies from Jiang Zaide and Jiang Shoucheng. He felt that this kind of plot beyond ordinary people's understanding could no longer be explained clearly in a few words on WeChat, so he called Jiang Zaide directly.
Answered in seconds.
"Brother De, why did you and Brother Cheng just say that grandpa wanted a pig?" Jiang Feng asked.
"Boss, don't you have any other pigs here? Do you know that other family's pigs haven't been killed? Oh, I'm sorry to bother you." Jiang Zaide was obviously outdoors, and the voice on the other end of the phone was very loud. It was so noisy that he didn't even have time to answer Jiang Feng's questions.
"Brother De, are you at the breeding farm?"
"Don't mention it." Jiang Zaide's voice was full of exhaustion, "We are not at home now. Brother, you might as well not go back. There is no one at home. We are all out looking for pigs."
"Looking for pigs?" Jiang Feng was completely confused. He had no idea what Jiang Zaide was talking about.
"Why are you looking for pigs? The Chinese New Year is coming soon. The New Year pigs raised in each village should have been slaughtered. Why are you looking for pigs now?" Jiang Feng was quite familiar with the pig killing market a year ago.
"Brother, have you forgotten that our family should have all gone to Peking this year, and Grandpa didn't raise pigs?" Jiang Zaide said, "Grandpa is going to make pig-killing dishes on New Year's Eve. This year, we came back late and not only did we not catch up with the pig-killing There was no meat left. No one thought of this before coming back. When they thought of it, At that time, my uncle’s family only had more than 20 kilograms of leftover pork. You don’t know how scarce pork is during the New Year. Nowadays, every household doesn’t raise pigs. The good pigs have long been used up, and my dad has gone to the next county. Went to inquire about the situation.”
"Brother, if we can't buy suitable pork before the 29th, our New Year's Eve dinner will be gone!"
“It’s a big deal if we don’t have the New Year’s Eve dinner. If we can’t buy pork, we won’t have any meat to eat during the New Year this year!”
Jiang Feng swallowed nervously: "How much...how much do you want?"
"If you save some food, you can save half of your talk." Jiang Zaide said in a solemn tone.
It is definitely a big challenge to buy half a pig with the same quality as the big-flowered, two-flowered and three-flowered pigs at such a critical moment.
The price of failing the challenge is that the New Year's Eve dinner will be greatly reduced. During the entire New Year period, the pork on the Jiang family's dining table will be in short supply. This is an outcome that no one expects to see.
Time is tight and tasks are heavy.
No wonder no one in the group has spoken during this period. Not only is there no food to eat now, but there may also be no food to eat in the future.
"Brother, think of a way. Yours is the most promising of our families to buy pigs. The third uncle and the third aunt have both contacted the slaughterhouse in the next city."
Jiang Feng felt the heavy burden on his shoulders and said solemnly: "I know Brother De, and I will try my best to contact him."
"Okay, I'm going to the next village."
The call ends. (End of chapter)
