Xiang Jin didn't make anything complicated for dinner. She only cooked some dishes to go with the meal, and the quantity was not large, just a few dishes, but the portions of each dish were very generous.
She dug out a piece of tenderloin, two pairs of fat intestines, and two pairs of pork belly in the refrigerator. The tenderloin made a piece of boiled meat, and the fat intestines were stir-fried with the two wattle sticks to make a fried fat intestine. The pork belly was cooked directly.
It became a fragrant and delicious shredded tripe soup, followed by another dish of stir-fried pork liver with pickled peppers and fried kidneys with green onions, and finally another appetizing dish of fish-flavored eggplant, and a side dish of stir-fried vegetables.
So there are only six dishes and one soup in total, but the boiled pork slices are in a large pot, the three dishes of stir-fried fat intestines, stir-fried pork liver and fried kidneys with green onions are each in two plates, and the pork belly soup is also in one soup pot.
.
Although these ingredients are not expensive ingredients, Xiang Jin's skill in making them is delicious and goes well with the meal. The whole family sat together and ate deliciously and satisfactorily.
After the meal, after everything was tidied up, Xiang Jin distributed all the things she and Yan Chen had brought back to their family in Shanghai.
The two old ladies both said with smiles on their faces, "Have you bought clothes and brought things with us again?"
Xiang Jin said, "Considering that you are usually very busy and don't have time to buy these, I went with Yan Chen to prepare a set for you."
Grandma Mo said, "We haven't even worn the ones we bought before."
Xiang Jin said, "Wear it, why don't you wear it? You have to wear it every year. If you buy it, wear it! If you don't wear it this year, it's just a formality."
Grandma Mo said, "But if you work in the fields every day and deal with mud all the time, how can you wear such good clothes and go to the fields?"
Xiang Jin said, "This dress isn't very expensive, it's just ordinary, so I don't have anything to give it to. Grandma Mo, if you buy it, wear it."
Grandma Mo nodded, "Okay, let's wear it! But why did you buy us that face paint? We don't have anything to use on our face now."
Xiang Jin said, "It's cold and dry in the winter, so you still need to apply it on your face. This will moisturize your skin. If a gust of wind blows by then, it won't hurt so much.
Grandpa, Grandpa Zeng, I brought this for you, you just bought a bottle of Dabao for each of you, and this electric shaver was bought by Yan Chen for you."
After the two grandfathers saw it, they both laughed and said, "Does everyone have one?"
Xiang Jin said, "Of course, don't think that only young people and people of my aunt's age can take care of their skin. In fact, the elderly, children and babies should also protect their skin.
Okay, you can go back home and try on the clothes yourself? We all bought them based on your previous height, size and weight, so there shouldn't be much difference."
The elders all laughed and said, "Okay, then we will take it back to the house and try it out."
Then her aunt pulled her and asked, "Tell us, what is Shanghai like?"
Xiang Jin said, "Great Shanghai? How should I put it? It is very developed and has a large population. There are older houses, and there are also newly built new houses that are very grand, luxurious, fashionable, and very modern.
There are still many houses that are just being dug or houses that are already being built.
Old houses like those are generally old houses from more than ten or decades ago. Most of them are not very high, just a few floors or ten stories, and they are also short bungalows. They all look a little old and a little bit old on the outside.
The sense of age is actually no different from the houses in our county town.
But the newly built houses are all high-rise buildings, usually with dozens of floors, like the Oriental Pearl Tower, the entire tower body and the spire are 468 meters long, with a total of 25 floors."
"Humph, so high?!" Grandma Mo was speechless after hearing this.
Xiang Jin nodded, "Well, the Jin Mao Tower that is being built opposite it is also tall. It is said to have more than ninety floors, and even the underground parking garage has several floors."
Then her aunt asked, "Have you ever been to the Oriental Pearl Tower?"
Xiang Jin said, "We have been up there. We have been up there during the National Day. We stood there and looked at the pedestrians below and on the opposite road. They were crawling on the road like little ants. We not only watched
We saw the whole scenery of Shanghai, and we also had a buffet dinner there, but to be honest, the food there was just mediocre and not as delicious as what I cooked, but I just went there to experience the feeling."
Then Grandpa Zeng said, "I heard that the cafeteria up there is revolving. Do you feel it clearly up there?"
Xiang Jin glanced at Yan Chen and Han Che, "You don't feel anything?"
Both of them nodded, and Yan Chen said, "The revolving restaurant is built on a sphere. The arc of its rotation is not very large. It is estimated that it will take almost an hour to complete one revolution, so you can only do it when you look up."
When you look out at the scenery and realize that the scenery is no longer the original scenery, you will feel that it is rotating."
Xiang Jin and her grandmother said, "Isn't that amazing?"
Yan Chen nodded, "When the time comes, grandpa, grandma, Grandpa Ouyang and Grandma Qiao, you can go to Shanghai for a tour when the time comes. We will take you there to feel and experience it."
Xiang Jin and her grandmother quickly waved their hands, "I can't do it, I can't do it. I'm a little afraid of heights. I probably won't be able to straighten one of my legs if I go up there. I just listen to your explanation. I've gained some knowledge."
Xiang Jin and her aunt joked, "You, an old lady, are not blessed."
Grandma Xiang Jin said, "Why don't I enjoy happiness? My granddaughter makes me all kinds of delicious food, and buys me clothes and cosmetics. Compared with other old ladies of the same age, I am already considered a
I’m very blessed, they don’t know how many people envy me.”
Xiang Jin and her aunt said, "I mean you have no eyesight!"
Xiang Jin and her grandmother said, "How can one person take advantage of all the blessings? I am already very satisfied. Besides, blessings do not necessarily have to be enjoyed from high places, but from low places.
You can see that nice scenery, kids, don’t you think so?”
Everyone smiled and said "Yes!"
Then Xiang Jin said, "One day in the future, we will take you to BJ to visit the Forbidden City, see the Summer Palace, climb the Great Wall, eat authentic BJ roast duck, and then take you to Shanghai to experience the prosperity of the modern city, and then treat you
Eat the freshest seafood, like the big lobster and the big crab, and then go visit the Jiangnan scenery next door, like
Suzhou gardens, small trees and flowing water, pavilions and pavilions, visit the Slender West Lake, meet the white walls, blue bricks and gray tiles of the Huizhou people, and appreciate the misty rain in the south of the Yangtze River, and there are also many delicacies there, such as Zhejiang cuisine and Jiangsu cuisine
, Anhui cuisine, we also have Cantonese cuisine in Shanghai, and we have almost eaten all the eight major cuisines in our country."
The elders all listened very seriously, and then Grandma Mo said with a smile on her face, "Really?"
Xiang Jin nodded, "Well, for example, Yan Chen and Lei Jia came to our place to play during the National Day. The four of us ate out almost every day, eating a different cuisine every day, and eating a different cuisine every day.
The food in our school cafeteria is also delicious, and there are eight major cuisines for you to choose from. Anyway, we will not be hungry in Shanghai, either dinner or various snacks."
Grandma Mo followed and said, "You just can't go hungry. Even if you are busy, you still have to eat three meals a day, but you must not suffer from stomach problems."
Grandpas like Grandpa Zeng and Xiang Jin all nodded in agreement and said yes!
After everyone chatted for a while, everyone got water to wash up.
Xiang Jin and the others had not finished the mutton they had packed for her grandparents in the city. Looking at the remaining portion, it seemed that they had only eaten less than half of it, so when they got up the next morning, Xiang Jin used the remaining portion.
She made a big bowl of mutton noodle soup for everyone, and she also fried an egg for everyone.
After eating the egg, Xiang Jin suddenly remembered those chickens, ducks and geese, so she looked at Yan Chen with an annoyed look on her face and said, "Oh no, those chickens, ducks and geese that Aunt Liao caught for us are like those we have."
I forgot to take care of them last night, will they freeze to death after staying out there all night?"
Yan Chen thought she was talking about "suffering", but it turned out to be this, so he smiled and comforted, "Don't worry, it's okay. After we marinated the meat yesterday afternoon, we spread some straw for them.
There, and then using several small backpacks to cover them inside, they will not freeze to death."
Xiang Jin breathed a sigh of relief, "Oh, that's good, that's good!"
Then Xiang Jin and her grandmother said, "Aunt Liao, have you caught chickens and ducks for us again?"
Xiang Jin nodded, "Well, I caught two chickens, two ducks, and a goose. I also caught a chicken and a duck for Han Che and the others. Let him take them back to the provincial capital when the time comes."
Not only that, they also brought us several baskets of eggs, duck eggs, goose eggs, and preserved eggs, totaling at least three hundred, and they were all picked from the nest this morning."
"Oh, Aunt Liao, you have spent so much money again. How many things did you bring back?" Grandma Mo said.
Yan Chen said, "It's okay, she's going to marry her daughter-in-law. When the time comes, just give her the gift money to be generous."
"So Xiangyang is getting married?" Several elders were stunned, and Grandpa Zeng then asked.
Xiang Jin nodded, "Well, the date is temporarily set for the sixth day of the Lunar New Year. Brother Xiang Yang will not come back until the third day of the Lunar New Year because he has to be on duty. However, the new wife will come back tomorrow, so Yan Chen and I will come back from Miyun Reservoir today.
I have to go back to the city and help Aunt Liao pick up her daughter-in-law tomorrow."
"Oh, that girl came back alone?" Several elders were surprised again.
Xiang Jin nodded, "Well, I said I wanted to come back and prepare with Aunt Liao first, so as not to be too late.
She will arrive at ten o'clock tomorrow morning. Aunt Liao originally said she would pick her up by herself, but considering that she has so many things to do at home, we said we would pick her up tomorrow. It's convenient since we have a car anyway."
Several elders nodded and said yes, and then Grandma Xiang Jin and Grandma Mo both said that she was a good girl, sensible and not squeamish.
Xiang Jin, her aunt and her two grandfathers also nodded in agreement.
Xiang Jin then added, "We plan to organize the employees to have a New Year's reunion on the 26th the day after tomorrow, so we won't touch the few pairs of sausages, pork belly, and livers at home for the time being.
Ha, I will have to when the time comes
Get some side dishes out. Oh, by the way, Aunt Liao gave Han Che two pairs of pork belly and sausages yesterday. If you are free today, please help us clean them up. He won't take that Han Che back, just
Leave it here for us to eat."
Grandpa Zeng and Grandma Mo nodded and said they would take care of them at noon.
After a few people finished their meal quickly, they set off in the pickup truck.
Because there was not much gas in the car, they went to the county town to refill some gas before heading straight to Miyun Reservoir.
Xiang Jin and the others went there earlier this time, and it was relatively close to Miyun Reservoir from their melon and fruit field, so when they got there, they caught up with many fishermen returning from catching fish, so they visited
After going around and getting to know the prices of various fish species this year, I started choosing directly.
Following the usual practice, their first choice for making cured carp is herring and grass carp. For the fish they eat, they still choose crucian carp, carp, sea bass, and some river shrimp. This time they also chose a few large soft-shelled turtles.
Go back and make turtle soup.
The more than two hundred kilograms of fish Han Che chose were all grass carp and herring. In addition to the three hundred kilograms of grass carp and herring, Xiang Jin and the others also selected dozens of kilograms of other types of fish and shrimp.
There will be a staff dinner on the 26th.
But this time they didn't buy much shrimp, just a few kilograms. Xiang Jin and his friends planned to make another trip to Miyun Reservoir before the Chinese New Year, and then buy more to make shrimp dumplings.
After everyone paid the money, they drove directly home.
When they went back, they caught up with Grandma Mo and the others having lunch. When they saw them coming back, they asked them if they had eaten.
Xiang Jin said that they hadn’t eaten yet, so Grandma Mo and Xiang Jin’s grandma stood up and said to cook them for them, but Xiang Jin stopped them, “You eat yours, we can do it ourselves, we can just order any bowl of noodles.”
No need to make it so complicated, they will kill the fish later and say it will be good for dinner."
Several elders laughed, so everyone sat back down again. Xiang Jin put on an apron and went to the kitchen to cook, while several others unloaded the fish from the car, like some fish that had not been killed yet.
It needs to be kept in the large earthenware jar they bought newly.
After having lunch, Xiang Jin put a carp, a herring, another grass carp, a bass, a few carp, and more than a pound of river shrimp into a small plastic frame, and then went with Yan Chen
They drove directly back to the city, and Han Che, Ouyang Bo, Grandpa Zeng and Xiang Jin started killing fish.
She decided to cook a whole fish feast for her parents tonight. When passing through the county town, Yan Chen asked, "Do you want to buy a piece of tofu and make braised tofu and fish?"
Xiang Jin looked at him with a smile, "Do you want to eat this dish?"
Yan Chen nodded, "Yeah! I haven't had this dish for a long time."
Xiang Jin nodded, "That's right!"
So the two of them drove around to the vegetable market, where they bought a piece of tofu and added some other condiments. Then they added some gas to the car before heading back to the city.
It was only a little after three o'clock in the afternoon when I returned home in the city. Xiang Jin's parents were still at work, so there were only two of them at home. Xiang Jin asked Yan Chen, "After driving for such a long time, what do you want?"
Don’t you want to go back to your room and rest for a while?”
Yan Chen asked, "Are you coming with me?"
Xiang Jin said, "That's not possible. Maybe my parents will be back soon, and I still have to deal with the ingredients."
Yan Chen reminded her, "Five minutes, what you said yesterday!"
Xiang Jin turned sideways, lowered his eyes and muttered, "That's what you said, I didn't promise you!"
Yan Chen raised her chin and looked at her with a half-smile but said jokingly, "Miss Xiang, you can't break your word?" As he said that, he lowered his head towards her.
Xiang Jin glanced out the window and pushed him away, "Go back to the house!"
Yan Chen was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "Okay, go back to the house!"
Xiang Jin blushed and said, "You go and close the curtains first, and I'll put the fish in the kitchen first."
Yan Chen glanced at the stupid fish in the frame, then smiled and said, "Okay, hurry up then!"
She could not run away either by extending her head or by retracting her head, so Xiang Jin returned to her room after taking the fish to the kitchen.
The room was a little dark when she entered. Yan Chen lay on the bed and looked at the roof with clear eyes. Then he stretched out his hand to her. Xiang Jin walked over and handed it to him. He took her hand and held it.
He pulled her down on top of him, turned over and pinned her down, and then looked straight at her.
Although the room was a little dark, her eyes were particularly bright, just like the stars in the sky.
"Ajin?!"
"Um?!"
His gaze moved downward inch by inch, finally settling on her delicate lips, and then his head leaned towards her little by little.
When their lips touched each other, neither of them was reserved, they both started kissing and responding to each other.
After a while of kissing, Yan Chen lay on the bed with one arm around Xiang Jin and the other holding her hand and said, "Ajin, have you thought about it?"
"Huh?! What?!" Xiang Jin rested in his arms and raised her head to look at him.
Yan Chen said, "When will you tell your family that I am your boyfriend?"
Xiang Jin laughed, "Do you really want to be our son-in-law?"
Yan Chen held her hand and looked at her steadily, "That's natural! You are mine, and I am yours!"
Xiang Jin lowered his head and kissed him gently on the corner of his mouth, "As expected, I will tell them when the family is all together."
The corners of Yan Chen's lips raised high, and then he kissed her again. Then he held her and turned over, and the two people's positions suddenly changed.
Xiang Jin hugged his neck, "Shall we go to the kitchen to process the ingredients?"
Yan Chen stood up, then pulled her up from the bed, and then said, "Go out first, and then fix your hair."
"Huh?!" Xiang Jin didn't know what he meant.
Yan Chen explained, "Your hair is a bit messy. I'm going to open the curtains. What if the people in the building opposite see you in my room?"
We just kissed each other and nothing substantial happened, but some people like to think wildly and it will be bad for your reputation."
"Oh," Xiang Jin hurried out.
After she went out, Yan Chen first tidied the bed and restored it to its original state, then went over to close the door, and then walked to the window and opened the curtains, even for people on the opposite floor to see.
When he arrived, he would just feel like he was changing clothes inside with the door and curtains closed.
Xiang Jin went to the bathroom to comb her hair, then went directly to the living room, picked up her phone and sent a text message to her parents respectively.
"Go home for dinner tonight, a full fish feast!"
After a while, her mother took the lead and called her back, "Hey, Xiaojin, have you returned to the city?"
Xiang Jin said, "Well, Aunt Liao's daughter-in-law will catch the train back tomorrow. Yan Chen and I are coming back to pick her up."
"Xiao Chen is back too?"
"Ah, he's driving. My brother and Han Che are making pickled fish."
"Oh, did you go to Miyun Reservoir to buy fish today?"
"Ah, I just happened to bring some back for you."
"Okay, mom will go back after get off work."
"Okay, then I'll go deal with the ingredients first?"
"Oh, okay, be careful, don't hurt your hand!"
"Yeah, I know!"
After Xiang Jin finished the call with her mother, she saw a text message from her father. When she opened it, it was just one word, "Okay!"
It seemed that her father was busy at the moment. Oh, never mind, so she put down her phone and went directly to the kitchen.
After Yan Chen came out of the room, he also entered the kitchen. He rolled up his sleeves and said, "Shall I kill the fish?"
"Okay," Xiang Jin gave up his seat and said, "Wait a moment and put on this apron. Don't get your clothes dirty later."
As he spoke, Xiang Jin took off an apron from the wall next to him and unfolded it in front of him, "Stretch your arms straight and put it on so that the clothes on your body, including your chest and arms, can protect you."
live."
Seeing her serious way of putting on her apron, Yan Chen couldn't help but lowered his head and kissed her lips again.
"Don't make trouble, I'm putting on your apron?" She pushed him.
He said, "Tie it up later!" After saying that, he put one arm around her waist and the other clasped the back of her head, and then kissed her selflessly.
Then his lips moved down, kissing from her chin to her neck.
But at this moment, a crucian carp suddenly flipped over from the plastic frame to the ground. Xiang Jin suddenly laughed, then put Yan Chen's arm on the foot ring and said, "Okay, Mr. Yan,
The fish are protesting to you."
Yan Chen hugged her and looked at her intently, "It will be the first one to be killed later!"
Xiang Jin hugged him and chuckled, "Sounds so bloody and cruel?"
Yan Chen said, "Who told it to seek death?"
"Okay," Xiang Jin stood up on tiptoes and kissed his chin, then let go of him.
Yan Chen grabbed her and kissed her face, side face, and neck before letting her go.
Xiang Jin put the apron on him again, then went around to tie the belt for him.
Xiang Jin bent down to pick up the stupid fish from the ground, and then Yan Chen suddenly leaned into her ear and said, "From now on, whenever we are alone in private, you can help me tidy up my clothes."
"Why?" Xiang Jin looked at him with raised eyebrows.
Yan Chen said, "Because it makes me feel at home, like a wife treating her husband."
Xiang Jin's face suddenly turned red, but Yan Chen said again, "Although we haven't obtained a marriage certificate yet, it's just because we haven't reached the legal age for marriage and we are studying in college. In fact,
You have always been my wife in my eyes and in my heart. I like this atmosphere of being alone with you. It is very warm and makes me feel warm and no longer lonely!"
Meeting his longing and sincere eyes, Xiang Jin nodded immediately, "Okay! As long as we are together in the future, I will pack your clothes."
Yan Chen smiled at the corner of his mouth, and then he kissed her lips again, and then the two of them began to handle the ingredients in a tacit understanding.
"What are you going to do with this crucian carp?" Yan Chen suddenly asked while handling the crucian carp.
Xiang Jin said, "I originally planned to use the white radish to make crucian carp soup with them, but I suddenly thought that there will be so many fish heads later, and it won't be their turn to make soup in the place. In that case, let's make one
Pan-fried crucian carp, what do you think?"
"Well, sure! So do you plan to braise grass carp or herring?"
Xiang Jin asked, "Which fish do you want braised?"
Yan Chen said, "Anything is fine, I will eat whatever you do."
Xiang Jin said, "How about braised herring? I plan to make the grass carp's body into boiled fish fillets, the fish head into minced pepper fish head, and the carp's body into squirrel mandarin fish. Then
Just make a soup with the fish head and white radish, then steam a sea bass and boil a shrimp."
"good!"
Xiang Jin and her parents arrived home one after another. When they came back, Xiang Jin had already prepared a dish of boiled fish fillet, a dish of braised fish with tofu, a dish of boiled shrimp, and a dish of white radish that was being cooked on the other stove.
Fish head soup.
"Wow, it smells so good. What are you two cooking?" Her mother put down her bag and walked into the kitchen.
Xiang Jin said, "Stand away, we are frying crucian carp, be careful if the oil stains splash on your clothes."
Her mother said, "Mom, go and change some clothes."
Xiang Jin waved his hand to her and said, "No, we only have two dishes here. Just give me a call and see when he will come back. Don't wait for the dishes to cool down."
"Oh, okay, then I'll call your dad!" She followed her mother out of the kitchen, but just as she picked up her phone to dial, Xiang Jin's dad opened the door and came in, "Oh, I just said
You were on the phone, why did you come back early today?"
Xiang Jin's father replied while changing his shoes, "Originally, I made an appointment with Lao Zhao to go to their house to eat donkey meat, but my daughter said that she would cook a whole fish feast for us tonight, so I turned it down.
.”
"Where did they buy donkey meat?" Xiang Jin's mother asked as she took the briefcase from his hand.
Xiang Jin's father said, "It is said that his in-laws brought it here two days ago."
"Oh, Ruoxi and her father-in-law are here?"
"Not only that, it is said that the old couple are here. If Ruoxi and the others will not go back to their hometown to celebrate the New Year this year, they will let the old couple come over to celebrate the New Year."
"Oh, is that what happened?"
Xiang Jin's father nodded. He was about to ask Xiang Jin what delicious food he had made when he saw Yan Chen coming out of the kitchen to say hello.
"Hello, Uncle Ouyang!"
"Oh, good, good, good, Xiaochen, have you worked hard?"
Yan Chen said, "No, Xiang Jin is doing it all."
"Come sit here and let's chat for a while!"
"Alas!" Yan Chen walked over.
Then Xiang Jin's mother hurried back to the house, changed into home clothes, and then went to the kitchen to help Xiang Jin.
"What is this made of? Squirrel mandarin fish?"
Xiang Jin nodded, "Oh, it will be ready soon. Mom, you can take out the bowls and chopsticks. We will eat soon."
Her mother asked, "Are the dishes ready?"
Xiang Jin nodded, "Basically, it's the last dish of fish head with chopped peppers, but that one can be steamed slowly on the pot and served last. We can eat the other dishes first, otherwise they will be cold later."
Her mother nodded, "Oh!"
Looking at a table of fish dishes, which not only tasted delicious, but also looked good, Xiang Jin's father's face showed a sense of pride, "Well, my daughter is very capable. Just look at this table of dishes."
Your dad and I have a lot of food."
Xiang Jin smiled and said, "Then you should eat more tonight."
"Uncle, auntie, please drink some hot soup to warm your stomach first." Yan Chen took a spoon and poured a bowl of steaming fish head soup for each of the two elders, placed it in front of them, and then gave it to Xiang Jin.
After filling a bowl, I was the last one.
With this set of polite and smooth actions, Xiang Jin's parents' favorability towards Yan Chen increased even more.
"Oh, good!"
The two nodded, then picked up the spoons and took a few sips, then started eating the vegetables.
Yan Chen was the first to put a piece of the braised fish in the bowl for Xiang Jin, and then he ate it himself.
One is because there are not many people in the family, the second is because everyone is not an outsider, and the third is that he does not want to leave a bad impression with his future father-in-law and mother-in-law as being lonely and not talkative, so Yan
Chen Ye rarely changed from his usual "not talking" character. He would exchange a few words with Xiang Jin and her parents on any topic they mentioned, and occasionally he would take the initiative to chat with them about some topics.
After everyone got to know each other for a while, the atmosphere was very lively and warm. In the middle of dinner, even if Yan Chen peeled a shrimp for Xiang Jin from time to time, Xiang Jin and her parents were already used to it.
She didn't think there was anything inappropriate or excessive, and Xiang Jin and Yan Chen became more and more comfortable and harmonious getting along with each other in front of her parents.
After dinner, Xiang Jin and her mother went to clean up the kitchen, while Yan Chen and her father continued to chat about topics they were interested in.
Then her mother asked about Aunt Liao’s daughter-in-law, “Did your Aunt Liao’s son bring his girlfriend back to visit relatives?”
Xiang Jin said, "No, I came back to get married, but Aunt Liao's daughter-in-law will come back first tomorrow. Aunt Liao and her son Xiang Yang won't come back until the third day of the Lunar New Year, because he still has to be on duty.
Aunt Liao and her daughter-in-law came back early to arrange things with Aunt Liao."
"Oh, that girl came back alone. She is very brave. Has she been here before?" Xiang Jin's mother followed and asked.
Xiang Jin shook his head and said, "I've never been here before. This is my first time."
"Oh, this girl is brave, your Aunt Liao and her son can rest assured too?"
Xiang Jin said, "My eldest brother is in the army, and he seems to be Brother Xiang Yang's superior. It is said that the two of them were the bridge created by the eldest brother of my sister-in-law."
"Then what does that girl do?"
Xiang Jin said, "It seems like a teacher or a nurse. I forgot. Anyway, it's one of these two professions."
"Oh! Then when is their wedding day?"
Xiang Jin said, "I was just about to tell you about this. They set it on the sixth day of the first lunar month. I will fly to BJ on that day. You and dad can help me get there. I will give you the gift money then.
"
Xiang Jin's mother asked, "What else do you want? How can we ask for your money? We will just give you the gift when the time comes. How much do you think you will receive then?"
Xiang Jin said, "Why don't you discuss it with Grandma Mo and Grandpa Zeng on New Year's Eve? Then we can seal as much as they can."
Her mother nodded, "Okay, then we will discuss it with Grandpa Zeng and the others, but you and Xiaochen have decided to have a BJ on the sixth day of the lunar month?"
"Well, and my brother, we have to go there to find a shop. This will take some time. We want to open a more stylish and elegant wine shop in the capital, which will be used to sell our stored wine in the future.
The customers for those liquors are the kind of cultured, sophisticated, social elites from all walks of life. For example, they can be officials, the bosses of well-known companies, or high-end white-collar workers.
We don't want to open the kind of bar that the name suggests in society, with lively entertainment and chaotic people. It's easy for trouble to happen inside, whether it's a fight or someone selling drugs and taking drugs.
We don’t want that kind of thing, what we create is the kind that is specifically targeted at some tasteful and well-educated consumer groups.
When they go there, it feels like entering a teahouse. It is relaxed and comfortable. They can go there to discuss business and things.
Only in this way can the wine we store be sold at a better price."
Her mother nodded, "Okay, oh, by the way, I will give you the list of the wine you asked me to collect last time. There are 78 boxes in total, including 47 boxes of Maotai and 20 boxes of Wuliangye."
, the rest is the Gujing tribute wine, your dad, me, and your aunt divided it several times before transporting it over there."
Xiang Jin asked her, "No one saw it, right?"
Her mother said, "No, we are very careful, and we pulled her over a few times when it was dark."
"Have all the seals of the wine been checked? Have they been checked?"
Her mother said, "Everything has been checked. Don't worry, everything is fine. And I also followed the method you mentioned, which is to use a good sealing bag to squeeze the air out of each bottle of wine and seal it tightly.
Then there are several layers of sealing glue wrapped around the outside of the sealed bag. We treat every bottle like this, so the smell of wine will never escape."
Xiang Jin nodded, "That's good! How much wine has my brother stored?"
Her mother said, "Your brother has saved about twenty boxes, including nine boxes of Maotai, seven boxes of Wuliangye, and the rest is Gujing tribute wine."
"His one was also sealed and preserved like that?"
"Well, it's the same treatment as yours. Your aunt even joked that we spent a lot just on the sealing tape and tape."
Xiang Jin laughed, "It's a bit, but it's just a small amount of money. I don't know how much sealing bags and tapes I need to buy for the price I'll sell the wine for if I keep it."
"Yes, that's what I told her!"
"Is there a vent in the basement?" Xiang Jin asked again.
Her mother said, "Yes, there is an inconspicuous place near the wall. Don't worry, there is a wooden door under the bluestone slab, which is locked. You can go down and take a look when you have time."
"Okay," Xiang Jin nodded, and then asked, "Well, the basement won't collapse, right?" I should have known that Yan Chenbj's basement had been repaired for several months.
Xiang Jin’s mother said, “No, don’t worry, your aunt and your grandpa built basements directly below them when they built those two houses.
At first, several meters of the ground under the two houses were dug directly. Later, steel bars were pulled directly on top and the cement floors were laid. Finally, a layer of bluestone slabs was pasted on the cement floors.
Their original intention was to store the pickled vegetables, such as the pickled cucumber strips, pickled mushrooms, and the pickled chili sauce. Even some large tanks were moved in, but then I heard that you two brothers and sisters wanted to store that
Liquor, so they gave up the idea and used it directly to store wine for you."
Xiang Jin was surprised. At first, she wanted to dig a cellar for storing yams, but she didn't expect them to think of it first. Although their purpose was different from hers, they had the same effect. It made her and Ouyang Bo
Got a bargain in the county town.
So Xiang Jin asked again, "Are those jars still in there?"
Her mother said, "Here, the exit is too small to take out. Those jars were put in when the basement was being built."
Now those jars are put directly together, and then your wine is placed directly in that jar. Your grandpa Zeng said that there is a layer between the jars to allow ventilation and avoid contact with the ground to avoid moisture.
There is mold on the wine bottle, which blurs the trademark writing."
"Did it come with the packaging box?"
"Ah, they are placed together. Firstly, it blocks the dust. Secondly, your grandpa Zeng said that the wine will be easier to sell with a packaging box. There is also a palm bamboo hat cover placed on each pottery jar. That cover
It was originally used to cover those pickled vegetables."
Xiang Jin suddenly couldn't laugh or cry, "Hey, how many layers of insurance are there? Now I feel relieved, but is the basement full?"
Her mother said, "It's not full, maybe there are still dozens of boxes, because then there was no wine in the shopping malls in the city, and then we temporarily stopped purchasing. If we purchase places too frequently, I'm afraid it will
This will cause the manufacturers to become aware and raise the price of wine.
So we just want to wait and see again. If the price is right then, we will take more.
Those dozens of boxes of wine only cost more than 200,000 yuan, so the card you put here still has more than 1.7 million yuan in it."
Xiang Jin nodded, "Then what's the price of those wines?"
Her mother said, "The prices in each shopping mall are different, but the difference is not very big, just a few dollars. I will bring you those lists and receipts later, and then you can see for yourself
Just know it.”
"Okay!" Xiang Jin nodded, and after cleaning up, the mother and daughter went down together to clean up, and then joined the chat group of the two male compatriots.
