Life is a Game

In the early morning of the second day, Jiang Feng had just woken up and started brushing his teeth. Ji Xia took the soy milk, fried dough sticks and buns she had just bought at the gate of the community, and started knocking on the door of Jiang Feng's house.

It was obviously a rare vacation, but Jiang Feng, who had to get up early as usual to go to work, even had a rebellious heart when he heard the knock on the door, forget it, I don't want this apprentice, and go back to sleep.

Of course, this rebellious heart was instantly crushed when he saw the soy milk, fried dough sticks and buns in Ji Xia's hands.

The soy milk is bought from a noodle shop in the alley after going out to the right and crossing an intersection. The cuttlefish powder in this shop is very delicious, and the soy milk tastes very mellow. If Jiang Feng got up early, he would go to this restaurant with Wu Minqi, order a bowl of cuttlefish powder, and a cup of hot soy milk with half a spoonful of sugar, and the happy day would kick off.

However, since Jiang Feng's early waking times were very limited, there were only a handful of opportunities to kick off the prelude.

Compared with the very particular soy milk, fried dough sticks and buns are much inferior. They are all bought at the only bun shop still open at the entrance of the community, and the taste is generally not outstanding.

It was the first time Ji Xia helped Jiang Feng and Wu Minqi buy breakfast, and it was not because Ji Xia got up late, but because she had no money. Ji Xia usually asks Jiang Feng for money to buy whatever he wants to eat. Occasionally, he has some private money that he has secretly saved and is reluctant to spend it. What Jiang Feng wouldn't let her eat.

Ji Xia just received a red envelope of 666 yuan yesterday, and this morning he spent a huge sum of money (16 yuan 6) to buy breakfast for Jiang Feng and Wu Minqi, which moved Jiang Feng greatly.

"Master, brush your teeth quickly and go change your clothes. Why are you still brushing your teeth after Sister Wu has cleaned up?" Ji Xia put the breakfast on the dining table and urged Jiang Feng to brush his teeth, wash his face and change clothes quickly.

Jiang Feng was urged by the underground to speed up his action, and five minutes later he walked out of the bedroom with a radiant face. Jiang Feng put on a turtleneck sweater that best highlighted his figure and handsomeness. He was still holding a coat that he bought just last month. It didn't have any effect on keeping warm but could be concave.

In the pocket of the coat was the red envelope prepared for Ji Xia.

The last time he went shopping with his apprentice years ago, Jiang Feng naturally made his debut in the most handsome appearance.

Jiang Feng felt that if Ji Xia hadn't been so urgent, he could still go to the bathroom and straighten his hair in front of the mirror.

Ji Xia didn't realize that Jiang Feng's shape was different, and now her mind was full of donkey meat: "Master, Master Wang told me last night that there was a shop for donkey meat in the alley on the street where I was going to buy donkey rolls." It’s delicious when it’s grilled.”

"Master Wang said that today is the last day of opening for the restaurant, and the boss will be returning to his hometown tomorrow. There must be a lot of people. We have to go early or we won't be able to eat if we go late."

Jiang Feng looked at the breakfast on the table and silently put a question mark in his heart.

"Let's go, let's go out." Jiang Feng said and walked to the door.

"Master, breakfast is on the dining table. The one I bought for you at the door just now is still hot." Ji Xia reminded.

How could Jiang Feng eat steamed buns with donkey meat on fire? Jiang Feng picked up two cups of soy milk on the table and handed one of them to Wu Minqi: "Just drink soy milk to warm up. It's too troublesome to eat steamed buns with your hands, isn't it?" Xia Xia, are you in a hurry to buy donkey meat for fire? Master won’t waste your time, it’s the same if you leave breakfast for supper.”

Wu Minqi took the soy milk and didn't expose Jiang Feng's careful thinking. No matter who told her, she also wanted to eat donkey meat instead of steamed buns and fried dough sticks.

"Fengfeng, don't you wear a down jacket? This coat shouldn't keep you warm. I read the weather forecast yesterday and today's temperature is quite low. It's probably below zero outside now." Wu Minqi reminded.

Wu Minqi is afraid of the cold, and in the face of the cold, all concave shapes are paper tigers. Even though she was still inside the house, she was already fully equipped with hats, masks, scarves, military coats and down jackets of the same style, wrapping herself more tightly than Ji Xia who just came in from the outside.

"It's just below zero and it's not too cold. In junior high school, the boys in our class wore short-sleeved clothes in winter." Jiang Feng silently pretended to be aggressive, and opened the door gracefully.

The north wind howled, and the biting cold wind rushed into the house taking advantage of the opportunity to open the door. Jiang Feng was already shivering with the cold just half a foot out of the house.

"I'll get the down jacket." Jiang Biwang fled in despair.

A minute later, Jiang Feng came out wearing a down jacket of the same style as Wu Minqi, holding the red envelope that was stuffed in the coat pocket before.

"Xia Xia, take it." Jiang Feng stuffed the red envelope into Ji Xia's hand, "This is the New Year's red envelope that Master gave you. If you don't see it during the Chinese New Year, give it to you a year ago. Part of it is your original salary, and the rest It’s all lucky money that Master gave you.”

Ji Xia happily took the red envelope, thought about stuffing the red envelope into his pocket, and suddenly knelt down towards Jiang Feng, as if to kowtow to Jiang Feng.

Jiang Feng, who had never kowtowed to or been kowtowed by others since he was a child, knelt down and knelt face to face with Ji Xia on the spot, and then dragged Ji Xia up from the ground.

Ji Xia was still a little unhappy when Jiang Feng pulled him up: "Master, my mother-in-law said that during the Chinese New Year, when the master gives red envelopes to apprentices, apprentices have to kowtow."

Although Jiang Feng has always longed to become a capitalist who deprives the working people, it does not mean that he longs to be kowtowed by the working people, so he hastened to be different from Ji Xia's science: "What your mother-in-law knows is the old calendar decades ago, now Kowtowing has long been out of fashion, and a New Year call is enough during Chinese New Year.”

After gaining new knowledge, Ji Xia nodded thoughtfully.

After a lot of tossing, the three of them finally went downstairs and headed towards the donkey meat burning restaurant that Ji Xia knew.

After leaving the main entrance of the community, the three of them walked towards the subway station. Jiang Feng suddenly remembered that the day when he went to Wu Minqi's house to attend the engagement banquet of Wu Minqi's third cousin was after the New Year's Eve, and in a sense it could be considered as the New Year's Eve.

"Qiqi, is there anything special about Chinese New Year at your house, for example, when the younger generation gives the younger generation lucky money, the younger generation should kowtow?" Jiang Feng asked.

"Special attention?" Wu Minqi thought for a while, then pulled down the scarf to expose her mouth, "Do the juniors compare it with cooking skills?"

Jiang Feng was surprised that the Wu family was so hard-core during Chinese New Year, they were able to turn a lively and festive day into a year-end assessment meeting.

"Is it a competition of juniors like us?" Jiang Feng asked.

Wu Minqi shook her head: "All the juniors, including my father and uncle's generation, my grandpa is the judge of the peer competition. The winner can eat boiled cabbage and shredded radish pancakes made by grandpa."

"Shredded radish cake?" Jiang Feng is somewhat different. Although the name of this dish sounds equal, radish and cabbage belong to the same family, but the gap between boiled cabbage and shredded radish cake is not a little bit. Pass.

The former is a famous dish at a state banquet, while the latter is a street snack. Although there is no distinction between good food and poor craftsmanship, but putting these two dishes together, I always feel that boiled cabbage is much more noble than shredded radish pancakes.

At least boiled cabbage is not only cabbage except boiled water, and shredded radish pancakes are really only pancakes except shredded radish.

"My grandfather's shredded radish pancakes are very delicious. All the old diners in Wu's restaurant know that it is one of the best Baian dim sum made by my grandfather." Wu Minqi explained, "It turned out that my grandfather had good physical strength. When he was young, he reclaimed an acre of land in my yard to grow radishes, and he always felt that the radishes bought outside were not juicy enough to compare with the ones he planted himself."

Jiang Feng: ...

I didn't expect Mr. Wu to have this hobby secretly.

Jiang Feng and Wu Minqi walked and chatted all the way, and arrived at the subway station before they knew it.

Ji Xia reported the address of the store to Jiang Feng. Jiang Feng clicked on the mobile phone software and he uninstalled it several times, but since he couldn't find a more convenient one, he had to uninstall and download the navigation software and start looking for the route.

"Oh, this store is good. There is no need to transfer, and it goes directly to Line 4." Jiang Feng highly praised all routes that do not require transfers.

"Master, what time is it?" Ji Xue asked.

"8:03."

"Then let's hurry up. The store opens at 8:30. If you go late, you will have to wait in line for a long time." Ji Xia pulled Jiang Feng and Wu Minqi to the direction of Line 4.

Jiang Feng didn't realize it until he squeezed onto the subway, no, today's plot was wrong from the beginning.

The original plot should be that Xia Xia finally earned a small sum of money through hard study and hard work, and decided to repay her mother-in-law years ago. Then she went to the street to buy something she thought her mother-in-law would like, so that she could bring it to her mother-in-law when she returned. Show filial piety.

This is a touching and educational drama about returning home and returning family affection.

No matter how bad it is, it should be the rebellious girl Ji Xia who lost her way after running away from home, and worked hard to make a little money in the end. On the occasion of returning to her hometown during the Chinese New Year, she went home with big bags and small bags to show the villagers that she is no longer the ignorant girl who was ignored by her parents, ignorant and incompetent. The annual drama of the year with a reversed pretense and slap in the face.

But now, the original plot has changed beyond recognition, and it has become a gourmet drama in which the three go to an old donkey meat roast restaurant that will not be open tomorrow, and eat donkey meat roast.

"Xia Xia, aren't we going to the street today to accompany you to buy something that you will bring to mother-in-law when you go home tomorrow?" Jiang Feng asked.

"That's right, Master, haven't you guys had breakfast yet? I haven't had breakfast either. Let's go to that shop to eat donkey meat fire, and then go to buy a donkey for my mother-in-law." Ji Xia's words are reasonable and well-founded convincing.

Jiang Feng was convinced on the spot.

"Yes, breakfast is important, eat breakfast first."
