Chapter 539 Flowing Seat
After reporting his latest situation to the ancestors of the Wang family, Jiang Feng rubbed his ears that were almost deafened by the firecrackers and followed the elders back to the village.
When Jiang Feng returned to the village, many people had gathered around his grandmother's house, and tables, chairs and benches had been set up - everything from the hall to the yard was full. Those that couldn't be placed were placed in neighboring houses. Anyway, the neighboring houses were also full. It's a relative.
The Wang family has a large population and basically all live in this village. Wang Xiulian has more than a dozen cousins, plus seven aunts and eight aunts and other relatives. The family dinner was nominally to celebrate Jiang Feng's brilliant achievements this year, but in fact it was a dinner for the whole village.
Before the banquet even started, Jiang Feng was pulled over by his cousins who couldn't name him to greet him.
"It's okay, Xiaofeng. I haven't seen you for two years and you've grown into a handsome young man. You have to have a drink with your cousin at noon today."
"I've seen this kid have a future since he was a kid, and sure enough, he's already on TV! It seems like he's not only on TV, but also interviewed in newspapers and magazines. He really has a big future. Xiaofeng, I have to follow you at noon today. Uncle, have a drink!”
"Xiao Feng, do you have a girlfriend?"
"Xiao Feng, my uncle saw you on TV when you participated in that competition. You are really promising. You are already on TV. Let's have a drink with my uncle during dinner."
"Xiao Feng..."
Jiang Feng:...
My name is Jiang Feng, I am a chef, and I have a game plug-in, but it is of no use because I am not a good drinker, but I have a group of cousins who love to drink and have a good drinker.
Jiang Feng felt that if he had a word on his forehead now, it would definitely be four English letters plus an exclamation mark.
HELP!
Just when Jiang Feng felt that he was desperate, he suddenly heard Jiang Jiankang chatting with his uncle.
Jiang Jiankang smiled enthusiastically, with unprecedented enthusiasm.
It's not surprising that Jiang Jiankang suddenly became so enthusiastic about Jiang Feng's uncle. Jiang Jiankang's attitude towards Jiang Feng's two uncles has always been highly consistent with Wang Xiulian's attitude. Because of this family dinner, the relationship between Wang Xiulian and her two brothers has eased a lot. On the road just now, Jiang Feng saw Comrade Wang Xiulian replying to the words of her two brothers.
You know, because of the bad things that happened a few years ago, what Comrade Wang Xiulian has been good at these years is treating her two brothers as if they were nothing, no matter how big they are, they can't be seen.
"Brother, please take me to the kitchen to see Master Wang. I haven't seen Master Wang for many years. I just went to the kitchen and saw that there was no one there." Jiang Jiankang said.
"The stove in the kitchen at home is broken and has not been repaired. Master Wang is next door and is probably still busy at work. Brother-in-law, I will take you to him." Uncle Jiang Feng agreed with a smile, walked forward, and led Jiang Jiankang to the kitchen.
Jiang Feng was watching the two people leave when he suddenly came up with a brilliant idea.
"Sorry, sorry, cousins and uncles, I'll go over first. I'll go over first. Make way, make way." Jiang Feng nimbly got out of the encirclement and ran towards Jiang Jiankang.
"Dad, I'll go to the kitchen with you!" Jiang Feng shouted.
"This kid is still thinking about the kitchen even after the Chinese New Year. No wonder he is so promising." A cousin said with a smile.
"Yes, he is just like his father. No wonder he won the championship in the cooking competition." Another cousin agreed.
"Isn't he the runner-up?" Another cousin asked.
"They are all the same. As the old saying goes, there is no first in literature and no second in martial arts. If you can't tell the difference in this kind of thing, first and second are the same." My uncle said with a smile.
Jiang Feng ran up to Jiang Jiankang. Jiang Jiankang was still a little strange and asked, "Son, what are you going to see in the kitchen?"
"I've never seen how the running water mat is made, and I want to see it." Jiang Feng said, making his own little calculation in his mind.
The flowing banquet dishes served at Wang family dinners are served one after another, and you eat them as they are served. If you eat quickly, the next dish will be served at the same time that the next dish will be almost empty. If the food is served slowly, many people will be drunk by the time the last dish is served. Anyway, Jiang Feng didn't wait until the last dish was served last time. He didn't seem to even wait until the third to last dish.
Jiang Feng's idea was to serve the food. He wanted to sneak into the kitchen and take over the power of cooking from Master Wang. Even if he failed to seize the power, it would be good to help him. Externally, he said that he wanted to show off his cooking skills to his relatives and let everyone have a taste of his craftsmanship. With his tongue growing in his mouth, it was not all up to him what he said.
Jiang Feng just planned to use the dragging technique. The cousins who had been dragging them outside in the kitchen were almost drunk. Even if they still drank when they came out, they would only have a few drinks and they would not be able to finish it.
Jiang Jiankang didn't know what his son was thinking, so he thought Jiang Feng was really curious about the running water mat, and explained to him enthusiastically: "Actually, it's nothing. If your mother's running water mat is small, just hire a master. Most of them are cooked and cold dishes, and the soup has been cooked in advance. What will be cooked then is a few meat dishes and vegetables. Time is tight, and it is probably not as busy as our store before New Year's Day. .”
As he spoke, Jiang Jiankang sighed: "The flowing-water mats now are not as good as before. When I followed your grandfather to make flowing-water mats in other villages, the stoves were not enough and had to be built. Your grandfather was responsible for 7 or 8 pots by himself. , that scene is truly spectacular.”
"Dad, did you make flowing water mats with grandpa before?" Jiang Feng was a little surprised. He didn't expect Comrade Jiang Jiankang to have such a glorious past.
Jiang Jiankang smiled shyly: "I just helped cut vegetables. When I was in elementary school, I just didn't want to go to school and found an excuse to skip class."
Jiang Feng:...
As he spoke, Uncle Jiang Feng led the two of them to the kitchen. In the kitchen, Master Wang was waving a spatula vigorously, sweating profusely in his single clothes in the winter.
The temperature in the kitchen is not low, especially next to this wood-burning stove.
"Old Wang!" Jiang Jiankang said.
When Master Wang saw Jiang Jiankang coming, he smiled: "Lao Jiang is here. You have to taste my craftsmanship later and see if I have deteriorated after all these years of idleness at home."
Master Wang used to work in a state-owned hotel, but not in City Z. He had some friendship with Jiang Jiankang.
"I heard that you have opened all your shops in Peiping. How is it? Is the business in Peiping good?" Master Wang asked. He was just invited to cook a banquet and didn't know why the banquet was held.
"Not bad, business is booming." Jiang Jiankang smiled and patted Jiang Feng, "This is my son Jiang Feng. You haven't seen him in some years, right?"
Master Wang couldn't help but look at Jiang Feng again: "I haven't seen him for some years. He seemed to be still in junior high school when I last saw him. I didn't recognize him just now. He should be in college now. How about falling in love? Are you working yet?”
Jiang Jiankang cheerfully repeated to Master Wang what Comrade Wang Xiulian just said to the ancestors of the Wang family in front of the grave.
Hearing Jiang Feng's achievements this year, Master Wang was really surprised and sighed: "It's true that a tiger father has no dog son. I envied your father's ability back then, but I didn't expect your son to be so outstanding now."
< br>
Although these words sounded a bit strange, Jiang Jiankang accepted it as a compliment.
Jiang Feng saw that the atmosphere was almost complete, so he said, "Master Wang, why don't you take a break and let me do it? I think you are quite tired."
Master Wang waved his hands repeatedly: "How can that be done? Your family paid me to hire me. How can I rest, not tired or tired? This is just the beginning."
Jiang Feng smiled even brighter. What he wanted was to start: "It's okay, just take a break. We are all from the countryside, and you and my dad are old colleagues. There is no reason to spend money to hire someone. You are here to help, why are you doing this? You are my elder, there is no reason to let the elders work while the younger ones watch.”
"Besides, I can only come here to pay my respects during the Chinese New Year. I rarely see my grandma, grandpa, and uncles. They have never tasted my craftsmanship. You worked so hard to hold a celebration banquet for me. With such a big battle, how can I just sit here and enjoy it? I should cook a few dishes for the elders to try, don’t you think?”
Master Wang had never seen this posture before, but Jiang Feng said he was confused on the spot, feeling that he was continuing to burn or not stopping. In this stunned moment, the spatula was snatched away by Jiang Feng.
"Master Wang, tell me, what dishes are you going to cook?" Jiang Feng, who had successfully seized power, had already begun to look at the country he had just seized.
"This..."
"Old Wang, what Xiao Feng said makes sense. His grandparents and uncles haven't tasted his cooking yet, so they should cook two dishes." Jiang Jiankang also felt that Jiang Feng was right.
"But this..." Master Wang felt that there was nothing wrong with what Jiang Feng and Jiang Jiankang said, but...
Isn't it a little bad that he took the money and fished?
"Master Wang, please take a rest first. You can watch me burn and give me some pointers by the way." Jiang Feng said.
The word "pointing" hit the softest spot in Master Wang's heart, and Master Wang immediately agreed.
Jiang Feng, who had succeeded in usurping the throne, smiled slightly, cooked from the second dish to the last dish, and used the extra ingredients to add two more dishes to the original menu. Although I was tired, I was happy. I was happier than ever before, and I didn't have to be drunk by my cousins.
Catching fish feels good for a while, and Master Wang, who always feels good about fishing, said: Give him 10 of these banquets, and he will cook 10 of them!
After cooking the last dish, Jiang Feng stretched his muscles in the kitchen and felt refreshed, and even the air became sweet.
Jiang Feng walked out of the kitchen, ready to greet his uncles who were almost drunk, say a few polite words, and then drink two glasses of wine and leave.
Then——
He saw a dozen sober cousins.
Not only was he sober, he didn't even blush. He obviously didn't drink much, which was not in line with the style of his dozen or so cousins.
Jiang Feng:? ? ?
? ? ? ?
? ? ? ? ?
"Xiao Feng." The leading cousin walked up to Jiang Feng holding a wine glass.
This cousin seemed to be his third cousin, but he seemed not to be. There were so many cousins that Jiang Feng really couldn't tell them apart.
"Third uncle, I heard what your dad said just now. You cooked all these dishes today. You are really thoughtful. It was originally to celebrate your achievements this year, but in the end, you were asked to cook. Third uncle is really very happy. Touched. Stop talking, come to Xiaofeng and I’ll give you a toast!”
Jiang Feng noticed that several cousins who were closer to him picked up wine bottles and poured wine into their own glasses.
He also noticed that the dishes on the table didn't seem to be moved much.
"Third uncle, why don't you eat the vegetables? Is it not to your liking?" Jiang Feng's smile was a little stiff. He really couldn't laugh.
"I've been waiting for you. You've worked so hard. How can we uncles be embarrassed to eat? You cousins are too embarrassed to use chopsticks!" said the third cousin with a smile.
Jiang Feng:...
Damn, that was a mistake.
"Whoever has a wine glass, please pour a glass of wine for Xiaofeng!" (End of Chapter)
