Yang Hui said that Yang Zhao played mahjong well. Xiang Jin and others also thought that his mahjong was really good. However, after a few laps, they found that Yang Zhao's mahjong was actually not that good either.
, it’s average at best.
For example, he didn't touch the cards he was supposed to touch, he played out the cards he should have kept in his hand, and he insisted on playing cards that could have been played randomly.
One shot and three shots, and now it's big.
From his mahjong skills, Xiang Jin and the others inferred that her two uncles and aunts were not very good at mahjong either. A leaf can tell the autumn, and a small thing can tell the difference. Her two uncles and aunts all praised Yang Zhao for his mahjong playing.
It's good, but the result...
After playing a few games, Yang Zhao only had about ten yuan left in the new one hundred yuan change in front of him. Yang Zhao would blame himself for being unlucky today and not getting any cards, and then blame Xiang Jin.
The three of them have too high IQs, and he is no match for them.
Even Yang Hui, who was standing behind him and watching the battle, was convinced.
Xiang Jin glanced at the brothers angrily, "I think the main reason is that your card playing skills are too poor!"
Yang Zhao was determined not to admit that his poker skills were poor, "No, my poker skills can be mastered by those in Wantou where we live, even if I play cards with those of us in Wantou."
Even if I’m really good at it, I can put them on the same table and not lose too much.”
Xiang Jin said, "Then those of you in the bay who are very good at playing cards must not be very good either."
"Where is it? They just pick up a card from below and know what card it is without looking at it. Moreover, they can also calculate what cards other people have in their hands," Yang Zhao continued to retort.
Xiang Jin said, "Even if that's the case, your poker skills should be very good, but why are you so mediocre?"
Yang Zhao said, "That's why I said it's because you are too smart. You all have very good memories. Every time someone else plays a card, you can remember it clearly. Then what other cards are in your hands?"
Aren't you able to easily calculate what other cards there are? Then naturally you won't be able to easily play the cards the opponent needs.
But I can’t. My memory is poor. Sometimes I can’t even remember clearly what I shot, let alone other people’s. If I don’t light the fire for you, who will light the fire for you?”
It is true that they have good memories. They can indeed roughly calculate what cards each other has in hand and what they need based on the cards in their own hands and the cards played by others.
Card.
"Then you are still fighting with us?" Yan Chen asked.
Yang Zhao said with a smile on his face, "Oh, it's the New Year, everyone is having fun, Qitiao!"
"bump!"
"Hu!"
.......
Soon after the round of cards ended, Yang Zhao grabbed a handful of change and threw it on the mahjong pile. Xiang Jin and the others picked up their respective spoils, and then started the next round.
Xiang Jin's uncle and aunt had to go back, so Xiang Jin's mother came to ask everyone after chatting with everyone for more than an hour whether they wanted to eat porridge or not. Everyone was interested in talking about eating porridge and Xiang Jin.
Jin stood up after the end of the game and said, "Yang Hui, why don't you come and play while I go to the kitchen to make dinner?"
Yang Hui waved his hand, "I won't fight, my skills are worse than Yang Zhao's."
Xiang Jin looked at the three of them and said, "What about the three of you fighting?"
"Aren't you going to play anymore?" Zeng Haoze threw a mahjong piece directly into the pile of mahjong.
Yan Chen then pushed the mahjong in front of him, "Okay, no more playing!"
Yang Zhao still wanted to fight, but when he looked at them he looked surprised and said, "Oh, fight, why don't you fight?"
Yan Chen said, "Let's rest for a while!"
Looking at Yang Zhao's unsatisfied expression, Xiang Jin couldn't help but said to her, "Your level is too poor, and others don't have much passion for playing." With poor skills and high addiction, she gave in.
Him!
Yang Zhao was hit on the back, and then he looked at Yan Chen and Zeng Haoze. Seeing that they had no intention of refuting his sister's words, he immediately understood that he was indeed disliked, so he shut up, not to invite them again.
It’s time to play cards!
Yan Chen, Zeng Haoze, and Xiang Jin immediately returned the money they had won from Yang Zhao to him, but Yang Zhao said firmly, "There are no fathers and sons at the poker table. I am willing to admit defeat. I, Yang Zhao,
You can still afford to lose!"
So Xiang Jin took the money back directly, and Zeng Haoze and Yan Chen also took the money back. When Yang Zhao saw it, he immediately looked hesitant and distressed, but everyone pretended not to notice.
arrive.
After dinner, everyone was going back. Xiang Jin and her aunt took her hand and said, "When will you and Xiang Lan go to our place?"
Xiang Jin thought for a moment and then said, "Tomorrow at noon."
Her aunts also knew that Grandma Mo and her family were having a reunion tomorrow morning, so they nodded, "Okay, then you must come at noon tomorrow. Your second aunt and I will cook for you at home?"
"Okay!" Xiang Jin agreed, and then she heard her mother say, "How about we let the brothers stay at our house for one more night and come back with us at noon tomorrow?"
Xiang Jin and her two aunts refused, and her eldest aunt said, "They have been here long enough, and it's time to go back and collect themselves for a while, and do their homework. Do you think it's okay?"
How many days will school start again?"
Her second aunt nodded in agreement.
Xiang Jin's mother asked, "But Uncle Mingyao and the others are asking them to go to their place for dinner tomorrow morning?"
Xiang Jin and her second aunt said, "Sister, you can help us explain to them later, saying that our family also has guests coming tomorrow. It's me and my brothers and sisters from my sister-in-law's family, because we are on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year.
It was time to start business in the town, so when we went back to our parents' homes on the second day of the Lunar New Year, we each greeted our relatives and asked them to come together on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year. Then our two families would entertain us together.
Both of our parents' families have nieces and nephews who will come back tomorrow, but when they arrive, they don't have a small greeting from the family, which seems to be difficult to deal with, so we asked them to go back with us.
Go and tell them, don't let them make too much food tomorrow morning, just say that we understand their thoughts, we all move around here a lot, and there will be more opportunities to eat in the future, just
Don't worry about that one or two meals.
Also, this is a red envelope that we and my sister-in-law sealed for Xiao Chen and Hao Ze. When you go there later, please help us bring it to them and tell them not to be too little. This is our little thought.
," she said as she took out the four red seals from her down jacket pocket.
Xiang Jin's mother reached out and took it, then nodded, "Okay, I'll bring it to them later, but how much have you sealed for them?"
Xiang Jin glanced at her mother and said, "Do you care how much the seal is?"
Yang Juyun immediately lowered his head after being reprimanded by his daughter.
Xiang Jin and her two aunts looked at each other, and then her eldest aunt smiled and said, "It's not much, just five hundred yuan per person. Both children are the same age, and they were both born in the city.
It’s too little and I can’t get rid of it.”
Mainly because Aunt Mo and Uncle Zeng’s sons and daughters-in-law also mailed New Year’s gifts to them, and Aunt Mo and Uncle Zeng also sealed red envelopes for their children.
"Okay, uncle and aunt, if you want to go back, go back as soon as possible. It's not dark yet," she said, then went to the drawer under the coffee table in the living room and took out a flashlight and handed it to them.
His second uncle reached out to take it, then said hello to everyone and followed the group back.
After watching them get on the road, Xiang Jin's grandmother said to her mother, "Let's go, I'll go with you and talk to them for a while."
Her mother nodded, and suddenly only Xiang Jin, Xiang Lan, and their grandfather were left in the house. Xiang Jin returned to the kitchen, and then took two pieces of chicken breast and two pieces of chicken breast from the refrigerator.
A few chicken drumsticks were defrosted for tomorrow morning.
When she returned to the living room, her grandfather asked her, "Aren't you going to bring them some things back tomorrow? Do you want to pack them now?"
Xiang Jin said, "Don't worry about that. There will be time to clean up tomorrow morning. Grandpa, I'm afraid you will have to help me kill a few chickens for them tomorrow morning."
His grandfather shook his dry pipe and said, "This is no big deal. How many of them should I kill?"
Xiang Jin counted on his fingers, "I'm afraid I have to kill five or six. I want to give Yan Chen and his family three, one for Han Che and his family, and another one for Yan Chen and his cousins."
Her grandfather said, "His cousin doesn't know when he will get home yet. Don't pack this live chicken for him, otherwise it will break if it is left on the road for a long time. In my opinion, you can just
Just give them a piece of cake, it doesn't matter how long he is delayed on the road."
Xiang Jin nodded, "Okay! Then just listen to grandpa!"
The next morning, Xiang Jin got up early, and she had just washed up. Her mother, her grandfather, and her grandmother appeared in front of her one after another. She asked them, "Why are you getting up so early?"
"
Her mother said, "I'm going to help Grandma Mo and the others."
Her grandmother said, "Your grandpa gets up and kills the chicken. I'll boil some hot water for him."
Xiang Jin said, "Actually, you don't need it, I'll just burn it."
Her grandmother said, "You are busy with your business, you are busy with your business!"
Xiang Jin stopped being polite to them. After all, she would have to pack some New Year's goods for Yan Chen to take back, so this would also take some time.
Fortunately, she had marinated the muscles and chicken legs last night, so she would just do it later. This saved her a lot of time.
Xiang Jin spent an hour and a half making those things, and then put them into two thermal buckets, and then went to pack up the new year's goods.
A little after eight o'clock, Yan Chen came to call Xiang Jin and his family to go to their house for dinner. Xiang Jin said, "You came just in time. I have prepared the food for you on the way. You can come later."
Just take it back and put it in the car, so as not to forget it when you leave."
"Okay!" Yan Chen looked at her with a smile on his face.
Xiang Jin said, "One thermos bucket contains fried chicken nuggets and fried chicken legs. Another thermos bucket contains some toast and fried chicken steak. There is also a thermos bucket that I have prepared for you."
I ordered some drinks, they are also hot, please be careful when the time comes, be careful not to burn them, there is no sugar added?"
Yan Chen looked at her and nodded, "Okay! But why did you prepare so much?"
Xiang Jin said, "Be more prepared. It's Chinese New Year, and the shops along the way are probably not open yet. And didn't you say that the food on the way is not very delicious?"
The smile on Yan Chen's lips grew thicker, "Yes, compared with what you did, it is indeed a bit difficult to eat!"
"Then how did you eat when you passed that way before?" Xiang Jin suddenly became curious.
“Bring cookies!”
"Bring biscuits?" Xiang Jin was surprised, "Can you eat enough biscuits?"
Yan Chen nodded, "Okay!"
"Have you eaten enough biscuits?" Xiang Jin didn't believe it.
Yan Chen said, "Compressed biscuits!"
"Military?"
"Um!"
I heard that eating one of those military-style compressed biscuits can ward off hunger for forty-eight hours. It seems like the legend is true, huh?
Then Xiang Jin did not continue the topic with him, but said, "I have prepared some local specialties for each of you, some for your family, some for Han Che, and Uncle Zheng Gang and Uncle Duoji."
I have packed their products in cardboard boxes with the names of each company written on them. Can you help me deliver them to them when the time comes?"
"good!"
"In addition, I asked my grandpa to kill some chickens for you. Three of them are from your family, one is for Han Che and his family, and the two-color chopped pepper is from your family."
"So many preparations?" Yan Chen was secretly surprised.
Xiang Jin said, "Didn't you say that your grandfather also likes to eat that fish head with chopped pepper? So I brought you two cans of that chopped pepper. I will also share the local specialties I brought to your family with your aunt.
Their family is better. She has been really hard at helping us manage the braised pork and vegetable restaurant for more than a year, so I won’t install it for her alone."
"good!"
After breakfast, Yan Chen and the others were about to go back. Xiang Jin took their car back to pick up their things. When he saw the boxes of various sizes arranged in a row, Zeng Haoze couldn't help but exclaimed, "Little girl,
Have you emptied your house of everything?"
"How is that possible? We still have a lot of things at home," she said, picking up a cardboard box and placing it directly in Zeng Haoze's arms. "The things in this box and the basket of wild eggs are
Do you remember what we brought to your family?"
"Did you bring some to our family?" Zeng Haoze was surprised again.
Xiang Jin nodded, "Ah, we don't have any local specialties from our hometown. We just have some bacon, sausages, and some eggs. Let's take them back to try?"
"Oh, little girl, thank you for that," Zeng Haoze said without being polite.
"You're welcome, it's not a valuable thing," Xiang Jin waved to him.
Zeng Haoze disagreed and said, "Who said that? This is hard to eat where we are."
Xiang Jin smiled and said, "As long as you don't dislike it!"
Zeng Haoze said, "I don't dislike it, I don't dislike it, I'm curious, who can eat wild eggs, and it's a basket of wild eggs, and the bacon sausage made by Jin Yatou is very delicious?"
"If you like it, why don't you bring two more pieces?" Xiang Jin turned around and went back to the house to get it.
Zeng Haoze quickly stopped him, "Oh, no, no, that's enough, that's enough. My grandparents also took a lot. Besides, I won't be able to stay at home for a few days before I have to go back to the army. And my parents
I rarely cook at home, and when I’m busy with work, it’s common for me to be away from home.”
Xiang Jin nodded, "Okay, if you want to eat it then and it's convenient to receive it, just call Yan Chen and we will mail it to you then."
"good!"
While everyone was talking, they loaded all the things into the car and drove back to the provincial capital with Yan Chen and the others. Xiang Jin and the others also packed up and prepared to go to their grandmother's house.
A few hours later, when both of them felt a little hungry, they drove the car to the side of the road and stopped. Then Yan Chen unscrewed the thermos bucket and poured each of them a cup of peanut soy milk.
Set it aside to dry, and then take out the food from another thermos bucket.
Zeng Haoze picked up a fried chicken nugget with a toothpick and put it into his mouth, "Hey, it's still crispy?"
"Crispy?"
Zeng Haoze nodded slightly, "Well, well, you said this little girl is really amazing. The fried chicken nuggets are still crispy on the outside after being placed in this thermos bucket."
Yan Chen also picked up a toothpick and ate a piece. Sure enough, it was crispy, so he used the brand new plastic bag to take out a fried chicken leg and handed it to his cousin.
His cousin was startled when he saw it, then he took it and took a bite, "Yeah, it's delicious! It's crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and it's full of flavor!"
After he finished eating the chicken legs, Yan Chen handed him a piece of bread mixed with meat and vegetables. He reached out and took it, "Is this a meat bun?"
"Well, that's about it!" Yan Chen followed and wrapped one for himself.
Zeng Haoze took a bite and couldn't help but exclaimed, "Well, it's delicious. It has meat, vegetables, and bread. It doesn't taste dry at all. It's very moist. There's a little bit of sweet and sour in it."
The smell, what is that?”
Yan Chen said, "That's ketchup. If you like it, there's more here." Yan Chen handed over a small glass bottle.
Zeng Haoze reached out and took it, then uncovered the top layer of bread, then poured some more with a spoon on the lettuce leaves, then covered the bread on top, and then took another bite, "
Oh, why do you think that girl Xiang Jin is so good at cooking? She is simply a genius? Look how novel and creative this food is! What kind of way to eat is not greasy and filling! Well, not bad
,good!"
After Zeng Haoze finished eating what he had in his hand, he took a sip of the peanut soy milk, and then sighed with satisfaction, "Is there more?"
Yan Chen handed him the thermos bucket, and then handed him the bag with lettuce leaves, and then he followed Yan Chen's example and wrapped another one for himself.
After eating and drinking, the two of them drove on the road again, but this time the driver was Yan Chen. Zeng Haoze said, "I think you can open a restaurant like this in the provincial capital."
Yan Chen said, "Preparations are underway."
Zeng Haoze was surprised, "Are you really ready to drive?"
Yan Chen said, "Otherwise? Why do you think Xiang Jin is trying so hard to make the fried chicken legs and fried chicken nuggets these days? She just wants to make them by herself, and then she can teach others!"
"Haha, she really has no profit and can't afford to be early?!"
