"Oh, you see I like to chatter a lot at my age. Let's eat together and try the cooking skills of our college students."
Grandpa and grandma passed away when Jiang Che was very young. Grandpa, the village chief, was just like his elders and was highly respected in the village. When he spoke, everyone started to use their chopsticks.
Yuan Bao was still naked and sneaking around under the table, trying to see if there was anything delicious.
Everyone started to eat with their bowls and chopsticks, but the adults on the table did not move their chopsticks with the cold dishes. They all ate the fried small fish and the kimchi stir-fried by my mother behind them.
After all, rural areas do not have the habit of eating cold salad, and they still like to eat rice with a little oil and water.
Jiang Che was the only one who ate happily. As expected, the tomatoes and cucumbers had a unique flavor after being mixed with salad, and they went well with rice.
Even the small miscellaneous fish that is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside cannot compare. Seeing Jiang Che eating cold cucumbers crisply, Jiang Yunshan also became interested.
I tried putting a piece of cucumber into my mouth and bit it gently. It was crisp and refreshing, refreshing, and my mouth felt like it had been washed by clean water.
The greasy feeling from the fried fish I just ate disappeared immediately. The more I chewed it, the more flavorful it became. This is so delicious!
Savor it carefully, it is crisp and refreshing. I feel that I have never eaten such delicious cucumber in my life.
"Son, you are a good cook, even better than your mother!"
Jiang Yunshan blurted out, and kept picking up a few pieces of cucumber and chewing them. It was so delicious.
Huh? Chen Xiuzhi put down her chopsticks and looked at Jiang Yunshan. Dare you say it tastes better than the food I cooked?
Jiang Ma felt that her cooking skills had been challenged. How delicious could it be if it was just a plate of cucumbers soaked in vinegar?
"Mom, don't look at me. Try it too. It's really delicious. This cucumber is amazing. It tastes so good."
"Everyone tasted it and found that the cucumber is more delicious than meat. No wonder this child keeps eating cucumbers and tomatoes!"
Seeing the look in Chen Xiuzhi's eyes, Jiang Yunshan immediately realized that if he couldn't prove his innocence, he might not even have dinner.
Everyone couldn't believe how delicious the cold dish could be, without any fishy taste at all, and that's not how you flatter a child.
However, everyone was still very considerate, and they all picked up a piece of vinegary cucumber and started eating it. However, everyone who didn't believe it one second, their eyes widened the next second.
They looked at the jealous cucumber in disbelief. If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they wouldn't have believed it was a cucumber. It was so delicious.
The old village chief enjoyed the meal very much. He squinted his eyes and the wrinkles on his face became a little deeper, and kept nodding.
"It's really good. Old man, this is the first time in my whole life that I have eaten such crisp and refreshing cucumbers."
"Xiao Che's craftsmanship is pretty good. The old man has a bad appetite. After eating this cucumber, I feel refreshed. Add vinegar to appetize and relieve the heat. Not bad, not bad..."
The old village chief also made some comments, not to mention my mother, who was even more surprised. Her son's simple cold dishes were so delicious. His cooking skills were indeed better than mine, I had to admit.
"My son is really good. I have time to teach my mother how to do it."
"Mom, I can't teach you. What's wrong with my cooking skills is entirely a problem with the ingredients themselves. These are freshly picked cucumbers in the backyard. I guess you just eat them fresh."
"I also made the fried fish, why don't you guys say it's delicious?"
Jiang Che couldn't explain it. These cucumbers and tomatoes were sprinkled with spiritual water. The reason why they taste so good is because the spiritual water improved their quality.
"Impossible. I grew this cucumber myself. Do I know what it tastes like?"
Mom doesn’t believe it. She usually eats countless cucumbers and tomatoes, but she has never been so unique as today.
"If you don't believe it, Mom, just try the tomatoes and compare."
Jiang Che immediately suggested, and Chen Xiuzhi immediately sandwiched a slice of tomatoes with cold sugar.
This time I was even more shocked. The sweet and sour taste, coupled with the sweetness of white sugar, pushed the excellent quality tomatoes to the top.
"It's true. Could it be that the way I cooked food before was wrong? This is so delicious. I can't believe it."
The village chief's second uncle, second aunt and others also took a piece of tomato and tasted it. Without exception, everyone was impressed by the unique taste of tomatoes.
After tasting the sweetness, everyone stared at the cucumbers and tomatoes and ate them with relish, not even the fried golden small fish.
Even the elderly village chief found it difficult to drink two more bowls of porridge. He felt so comfortable after eating!
After a while, the cucumbers and tomatoes bottomed out, and everyone was full.
"Yunshan, do you still have these cucumber and tomato seeds at home? Give me some and go back and check them out. It tastes so good. I haven't felt so comfortable eating them for a long time."ъìqυgΕtv.℃ǒΜ
"The village chief bought all the seeds in the town. It's really nothing special. It's strange that the cucumbers and tomatoes are especially delicious today."
Jiang Yunshan was also a little confused, why hadn't he discovered it before? Is it really because of the seeds?
"Don't tell me, it's really because of the cucumbers. I tried it, but I don't know what happened to the cucumbers, beans, and tomatoes in the backyard. They all become juicy and taste great!"
At this time, Chen Xiuzhi came out while walking and gnawing on a red tomato. She ate it with gusto. She had just cleared the bowl and saw that there were unused tomatoes in the kitchen, so she took a bite and almost swallowed her tongue, so she immediately washed some
Bring it outside.
The village chief, his second uncle, his second aunt and his father began to taste the food one by one.
"Yunshan, your cucumbers and tomatoes are extraordinary. Old man, this is the first time I have seen such high-quality fruits and vegetables. These tomatoes can be eaten as fruits. It is so delicious."
The village chief lamented that he had never eaten such delicious fruits and vegetables in his entire life in Huaxi Village.
"Village Chief, these seeds are from the same batch as those in the village. I don't know why it suddenly became like this."
Jiang Yunshan scratched his head, quite confused.
The village chief also knows that this is probably not the cause of the seeds. After all, the whole village should mutate along with it!
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. I guess this is your family's feng shui. Let's talk about other things!"
As he spoke, the village chief looked at Jiang Che, with a faint look of expectation in his eyes.
"Xiao Che, you are our only college student. Do you have any plans to return to the village suddenly? How long will you stay?"
After hearing what the village chief said, the couple looked at each other and knew what it meant. Of course they wanted Jiang Che to go to the city to develop. What future could he have in a mountain village?
"Old village chief, the child will come back to stay for a while during the summer vacation, and then leave after the summer vacation."
Before Jiang Che could speak, Chen Xiuzhi immediately spoke.
"Oh, that's right. There really isn't much left in this remote and remote place like ours. It's better to be outside! They've all left and won't come back..."
"Good boy, work hard and be a useful person to the country. I will go back first."
"If Xiao Che has any good suggestions for the village while he is at home, remember to come and discuss it with grandpa."
After saying that, the old man stood up and prepared to leave. His back was a little stooped. The future fate of the entire village rested on a sixty-year-old man. It was indeed not easy!
Seeing the old village chief's persistence, this also strengthened Jiang Che's determination to build Huaxi Village.
"Grandpa, village chief, don't leave in a hurry. In fact, I don't plan to leave when I come back this time. I want to stay in the village and develop."
"What?!"
The village chief and his parents asked in unison.
"Son, you have to think clearly. This is a matter that affects you for the rest of your life. How can you develop in the village?"
Mom said hurriedly.
"Son, my grandpa accepts your wishes. You are a good and knowledgeable boy, but you will lose your talent if you stay in the village. Grandpa actually just wants you to help Huaxi Village when you have time and ability, and does not want to tie you here."
The village chief thought for a while and sighed, then continued.
"Mom, Dad, Grandpa, the village chief, who said there is nothing good to develop in the village? Aren't good things right in front of us but far away?"
Jiang Che said with a meaningful smile, and everyone fell into thinking after hearing this.
Looking at the cucumbers and tomatoes on the table, I suddenly realized.
"Kid, you mean, you can grow cucumbers and tomatoes like this?!"
The village chief asked expectantly. He originally thought that this was just a special situation and it was impossible to popularize it.
"Of course, Grandpa Village Chief, you don't want to see what I study!"
