Life is a Game

Chapter Thirty-Two: Old Films of the Republic of China (1)

"Brother~" Jiang Huiqin took the hand of the man at the door coquettishly, "You promised me yesterday that you will teach me!"

Jiang Feng guessed that the middle-aged man in front of him who looked somewhat similar to himself was his great-grandfather Jiang Chengde.

The huge age difference between the two looks like father and daughter rather than brother and sister.

"They're all big girls who want to get married, and they're not in shape yet." Jiang Chengde patting her on the head, "Still embroidering wedding dresses in the room?"

"It's all the fault of Wei Jin, that brat. I had already embroidered, but I broke a corner. Tomorrow, I'm going to take a wedding photo with Ming Yi. When I catch him, I have to knock him hard a few times." !" Jiang Huiqin raised her small fist and waved it to express her determination to beat her nephew, trotted two steps to the front, saw Jiang Chengde was still walking slowly behind, urged: "Hurry up, hurry up!"

Jiang Huiqin ran fast, and Jiang Feng could only trot along. The invisible wall behind him kept bumping into his back and buttocks, as if someone was whipping him.

Jiang Huiqin sneaked in through the back door in the small courtyard of the Jiang family, and finally stopped in the back kitchen, so that Jiang Feng finally had time to stop to catch his breath and rub his poor buttocks by the way.

It's a shame that his great aunt didn't practice long-distance running.

"Miss Jiang, the chef just left." A helper in the kitchen reminded Jiang Huiqin when he saw Jiang Huiqin slipping in.

"Shh, I'll borrow the kitchen for a while, so don't tell the boss." Jiang Huiqin searched around but couldn't find the ingredients she wanted, and Jiang Chengde didn't come for a long time, so she jumped up and down anxiously.

After a while, Jiang Chengde arrived late.

"Brother, hurry up, I have an appointment with Mingyi to go to the movies tonight, hurry up!" Jiang Huiqin urged.

Jiang Chengde laughed: "When will you change your impatient nature, it's agreed, I will only teach you this dish once, watch it carefully, don't move around, this is what Mr. Zhang ordered."

"I won't move, I will definitely not move!"

Jiang Chengde walked to a stove, lifted the lid of the big iron pot, took out a small bowl inside, and put it in front of Jiang Huiqin.

"Mr. Zhang's mother likes house swallows, and my brother-in-law ordered Huang Yan. The method is the same. Go, clip out the fluff inside." Jiang Chengde pushed the bowl in front of her, "Clean it and pour the water again, put it in Soak it in alkaline water."

Jiang Huiqin honestly went to get a pair of sharp chopsticks, approached the small bowl in front of her, and carefully picked out the small black fluff and other magazines inside.

Jiang Feng also leaned over to look curiously. The chopsticks were very thin, but they were too thick compared to the fluff in the bowl. Jiang Huiqin's hands were very dexterous, but it took a lot of effort to pick them up.

"Rinse the bird's nest with warm water first, and then stew it in a pot for an hour and a half. I don't need to teach you how to make willow leaf pigeon eggs?"

"No, no, no." Jiang Huiqin lowered her head and picked out another fluff.

Seeing that Jiang Huiqin danced carefully, Jiang Chengde no longer instructed, went to the table next to him to get eight small wooden spoons, touched a layer of oil in the spoons with an oilcloth, and put them aside. Immediately afterwards, he took a piece of ham on the right.

"The ham needs to be marinated first. By the way, I have to give you two more hams for your dowry. Be careful when slicing, don't cut your hands rashly, and wash it with warm water after soaking in alkaline water. You tear it into strips again, forget it, you pick it first, and you won’t remember it if you talk too much.” Jiang Chengde said with his mouth, and his hands kept moving.

The large kitchen knife lightly scratched a few times along the grain of the ham, and there were a few slices of ham as thin as cicada's wings on the chopping board.

Jiang Huiqin buried her head down when she heard the word dowry, and didn't listen to a single word that followed.

After Jiang Huiqin picked out the fluff and impurities in the bird's nest and soaked them in alkaline water, Jiang Chengde's willow-leaf pigeon eggs were also ready. The steamed pigeon eggs were covered with ham slices and winter vegetables, which were really beautiful.

"Brother, what kind of bird's nest do you want to make?" Seeing that the pigeon eggs were all steamed, Jiang Huiqin couldn't help but look at the bird's nest that had already been soaked in the bowl.

Jiang Chengde went over to take a look, and was anxious, so he quickly poured out the alkaline water and rinsed it with warm water: "You really don't remember things! I told you to soak your hair and take it out. How long have you been soaking it? Hurry up and scoop up a bowl of cold water!"

Jiang Huiqin hurried to scoop up water.

When Jiang Huiqin scooped up the cold water, Jiang Chengde had already torn the bird's nest into pieces. Jiang Chengde rinsed it with cold water and put it in the pot.

The Jiang family's love for soup was passed down from generation to generation. As soon as the bird's nest was put into the pot, the boiling clear soup was poured on it. Only then did Jiang Feng notice that the two large pots on the stove behind were full of soup.

When Jiang Feng turned around, the bird's nest had already been fished out, and there was only steaming clear soup in the pot. Just as the clear soup was about to boil, Jiang Chengde poured another ladle of cold soup into it, sprinkled a pinch of salt, Finally, he filled a spoonful of Shaoxing wine and threw the pot to Jiang Huiqin.

"When it boils, skim off the froth." After finishing speaking, he began to arrange the dishes.

After getting the task, Jiang Huiqin, who wanted to make amends, stared intently at the cauldron in front of her.

"Auntie, Auntie, brother Mingyi is looking for you." A little carrot ran into the back kitchen.

"Wei Guo, I'm going to be called Uncle in the future, so I can't mess with my seniority!" Jiang Chengde put on a straight face.

"Oh." The smile on Little Carrot's face gradually disappeared.

This is!

grandfather? ? !

Jiang Feng stared at the little carrot head with a string of snot hanging from his nose, and couldn't believe his eyes.

Before Jiang Feng could fully observe the young version of Jiang Weiguo, Jiang Huiqin ran out blushing. Jiang Feng could only chase after him, otherwise his waist and butt would suffer.

Then Jiang Feng experienced a large-scale dog food feeding scene.

Whoever said that people in the old society were very conservative, and that everything that started in heat and ended in propriety is all nonsense!

Caesar's dog food didn't pull a single grain!

Jiang Feng witnessed with his own eyes the teenage version of his aunt and grandpa watching a movie, you feed me a plum, I feed you a melon seed, pull your hands, at the end of the movie, the heroine is miserable Li Mingyi secretly kissed Jiang Huiqin's left cheek.

Even though it was a tragic movie and there was no sound, the two of them seemed to be watching a sweet love movie.

After watching the movie, Li Mingyi sent Jiang Huiqin home, and Jiang Feng followed behind them.

The critical attack from the couple's dog in the front hurt too much, Jiang Feng felt that it was safer to be behind.

"Tomorrow, we'll go to Jinlikai Photo Studio to take wedding photos." There was still an alley away from Jiang's small courtyard, and Li Mingyi stopped in his tracks.

"Yes." Jiang Huiqin replied in a low voice.

"There are still 5 days, and you will be my wife."

"Yeah." Jiang Huiqin's voice became even softer, she lowered her head, and even the tips of her ears were flushed with embarrassment.

"If it wasn't for my mother's insistence on picking an auspicious day, I really wish I could let you marry me today. I must publish in the newspapers, not only in Beiping, but also in Shanghai, Nanjing, Ta Kung Pao, and Min Bao. I want the whole country to know that you are my wife!" Li Mingyi hugged Jiang Huiqin, lowered his head and kissed her on the forehead, and said in a low voice:

"Good night, darling!"

Jiang Huiqin's blushing face turned red in an instant, and she slipped out of his arms and ran home without looking back.

Jiang Feng suffered a lot from her sudden run. Without any preparation, she was hit hard by the invisible wall behind her and was directly knocked to the ground.

It hurts so much!

Jiang Feng got up from the ground and found himself in a room, and it was daytime.

You know, it was night when Jiang Huiqin ran home just now.

"I don't wear it, I don't wear it, I don't wear it!"

Before Jiang Feng could figure out what was going on, he heard Jiang Huiqin screaming angrily.
