Chapter 89 Gifts(1/2)
When Tang Tian saw Jiang Che, he quickly put down the chopsticks in his hands, chewed some small fish in his mouth and came over to ask in a low voice.
"Jiang Che, that Professor Du didn't come back with you, did he?"
Jiang Che saw the little civet on Tang Tian and knew what she was afraid of.
"Don't worry, I haven't come back. Professor Du is taking care of the fox in the hospital. I'm afraid he won't be able to come back soon."
"That's good, that's good."
Tang Tian nodded, feeling relieved.
I didn't expect that such a wildlife professor would come to Jiang Che's village, and he almost discovered him.
The little civet is such an important protected animal. If Professor Du saw it, he would definitely have it taken away.
Jiang Che washed his hands and went into the kitchen to find the pressure cooker.
Pinch the air valve above and start to deflate. Suddenly a large amount of water vapor fills the kitchen, and at the same time, a very delicious meat aroma wafts in the kitchen.
"It smells so good. Jiang Che, is this the smell of snake meat? Why is it different from what I smelled in the hotel?"
Tang Tian sniffed and said.
Although she has never eaten snake meat, this dish is also available in her restaurant.
The fragrance is far less pleasant than this one, and it seems to have a slight meaty smell.
But the snake soup stewed by Jiang Che did not have such a taste, but was very delicious.
"Because it contains a kind of spice from the mountains that is not available elsewhere, the taste is so special. You can try it later when it tastes even more delicious."
After Jiang Che finished speaking with a smile, he opened the pressure cooker and poured the bright snake soup into a large bowl, but did not finish pouring it all and left some for Yuan Bao.
Yuanbao is the hero today, so he wants to reward the little guy.
Before Jiang Che walked out of the kitchen with the snake soup, Yuan Bao hurried over happily.
Smelling the fragrance of the snake soup in Jiang Che's hand, he was immediately so greedy that his mouth watered.
"Wow, is this the soup made by that snake? Yuanbao also wants to eat it."
The excited Yuan Bao walked around Jiang Che's legs, humming.
"Okay Yuanbao, don't worry, your share has been reserved for you and will be given to you later."
I was so happy to hear that I had left a piece of gold ingot for myself. I was so happy about the crab and snake soup that I rushed out of the kitchen and jumped around in the yard.
He proudly ran to the chicken pen to provoke the pheasants, who had already woken up.
I guess I learned my lesson after bumping into him once. Although I was pacing back and forth angrily this time, I didn't bump into the chicken coop.
"It smells so good. The wild one is different from the farmed one."
As soon as Jiang Che came out with the snake soup, the three old men smelled it and said in admiration.
"That's right, such a big cauliflower snake can only be found deep in the mountains. When paired with the spices I brought, it tastes absolutely authentic and cannot be tasted anywhere else."
The old village chief said proudly that when he was young, he often caught snakes and ate them, but now that he is older, he does not have the energy.
"Then, Grandpa Village Chief, you may want to drink more later and take a good tonic."
Jiang Che put the snake soup on the table and said with a smile.
"Okay, Xiao Che is interested."
At this time, my father and my second uncle pushed open the door with shovels, and they went to inspect the fields together at noon.
"Uncle Dad, you guys are back. Go wash your hands and let's eat." Jiang Che greeted.
"Okay, let's go right away."
Jiang Yunshan put down the shovel and said.
A few minutes later, all the food at my mother's side was ready, filling two large tables.
All are natural and pollution-free ingredients, especially the red crabs in the two basins look extremely tempting.
The mouse sat on the table and drooled. He didn't get such a sumptuous lunch very often.
Jiang Che also took Yuanbao's rice bowl and served it rice, pouring snake soup on top of the rice, with three big crabs on top, and sliced tomatoes and cucumbers on the side.
Jiang Che is also considering pairing Yuanbao with meat and vegetables. Anyway, tomatoes, cucumbers and Yuanbao are not chosen at the moment.
"The shell of this Yuanbao crab is too hard. I'm afraid it might scratch your stomach. I'll peel it off for you and eat it."
Jiang Che picked up a crab and prepared to peel off the hard shell, leaving only some crab legs.
Who would have thought that Yuan Bao put one foot on Jiang Che's hand and shook his head like a rattle.
"Wow, little master, you don't need to peel it. The ingot is edible. The crab shell is crunchy and crispy. The ingot is my favorite."
Seeing Yuanbao's funny look, Jiang Che smiled, thinking that Yuanbao was no longer an ordinary pastoral dog.
The digestion ability should also be strengthened. Since Yuan Bao insists, Jiang Che can just think about it.
"Okay, remember to chew it when you eat it." Jiang Che patted Yuan Bao's head and said, "Eat it."
Yuan Bao immediately lowered his head, bit down on a crab and started chewing it.
When Jiang Che returned to the table, Tang Tian had already taken out the gifts she had prepared.
Mom and dad looked at Tang Tian in surprise as he took out such a big pile of things.
"Uncle Jiang, Auntie Chen, and Uncle Yunhai, Auntie Li, thank you for your hospitality these two days. This is a little thought I prepared. I hope my uncle and aunt can accept it."
Mom and dad immediately became unhappy and looked at Tang Tian reproachfully.
"Xiao Tang, you are such a kid. It's too late for uncle and aunt to be happy that you can come as guests. Where can I ask for your gifts? Take them back quickly, otherwise I will be angry."
"That's right, we can't have Xiao Tang. There are no such rules in Huaxi Village. It's enough that you come as a guest and don't mind the simple living conditions of our farmhouse. There is no need to give gifts."
The second aunt Li Xiutao also quickly refused.
"And Xiao Che is also ignorant. Why don't you know how to persuade Xiao Tang when he sells things?"
After Chen Xiuzhi finished speaking, she suddenly looked at Jiang Che and blamed him.
Jiang Che's neck shrank, knowing that his mother was going to talk about him.
Jiang Che couldn't help but look at Tang Tian and asked her to put in a good word for him.
"Aunt Chen, don't blame Jiang Che. I insisted on buying it. This is what my grandfather and I want. Otherwise, we would feel very guilty!"
Dad Jiang Yunshan thought for a while and said.
"Xiao Tang, you really don't have to feel any regrets. It was you who bought Xiao Che's potted plant. With so much money, our family doesn't even know how to repay you. How else can I ask for your gift!"
Tang Tian was in a bit of a dilemma. Jiang Che's parents and second uncle's family both refused, and she was still so determined that she really didn't know what to say.
He couldn't help but look at his grandfather Tang Yuanming and asked him to think of a solution.
"Ahem, Mr. Jiang and Ms. Chen, this is also our little thought. To be honest, these meals at your house are definitely worthy of these gifts. You can't get them elsewhere, so please don't refuse."
"We were in such a hurry last time that we didn't think we would stay for so long. We feel sorry for disturbing you for two days. If you don't accept us, you won't have the face to stay here."
"As for buying Xiao Che's potted plant, it's a matter of size, and they can't be confused."
Mr. Tang also spoke at this time.
"Yes, big brothers and big sisters, we big bosses really didn't think twice about coming here this time. If you don't accept this gift, we old-faced guys will be really embarrassed."
At this time, Mr. Sun also spoke to persuade.
The four of them, my father, mother, uncle, and aunt, looked at each other, and they were a little embarrassed and didn't know how to make a decision.
"Okay, Yunshan Xiuzhi, just accept the gift, otherwise the guests may not feel at ease during this meal!"
The old village chief also spoke to persuade at this time.
Seeing what the old village chief said, Jiang Yunshan and Chen Xiuzhi had no choice but to nod in agreement.
"Okay, Xiao Tang and the other gentlemen will only agree to this once. Don't buy any more gifts next time. It's too unruly."
Chen Xiuzhi said to Tang Tian angrily.
"I know, Aunt Chen, hehe, this is the jewelry I specially picked for my uncle and aunt. You will definitely like it."
Seeing Chen Xiuzhi agreeing to accept it, Tang Tian immediately took out four jewelry boxes with a smile.
I gave one to each of my father, mother, uncle and aunt, and two Maotai for each family.
"You're such a kid. You've learned to kill first and then show off. I really don't know what to say about you."
Chen Xiuzhi said to Tang Tian angrily.
"I really just want to express my gratitude to Aunt Chen. Don't be unhappy."
Tang Tian hugged Chen Xiuzhi's arm and said.
"I know, you just have a sweet mouth."
"Xiao Che, didn't Xiao Tang give you wine? Open it quickly and fill it up for the old men. Let's eat quickly, otherwise it will be cold."
Chen Xiuzhi immediately asked Jiang Che to pour wine. Wine and delicious food were the perfect match.
