Life is a Game

New Year's greetings went well.

On the first day of the new year, no one would pull a face, even if they were unhappy because of certain things, they would not show it. In such a joyful and peaceful day when everyone is smiling and always saying blessings, the Jiang family juniors who can blow rainbow farts the most in the village are naturally the most popular existence.

There is no lunch or dinner, so on the first day of the new year, I just eat wherever I go, and eat from family to family, and I can still walk around if I can't finish eating.

The only fly in the ointment is the melon seeds and shortbread from the village chief’s house, which are so delicious that everyone forgets the time while eating melon seeds and shortbread.

If you make glutinous rice lotus root at this time, Grandma Jiang can't drink sugar water until before going to bed.

Jiang Feng didn't dare to do this. Before going to bed, he drank a bowl of 4 jin sweet sugar water, and then had a good night's sleep. In case Grandma Jiang falls in love with this bedtime activity, drink her body to the fullest. Then Jiang Feng was the Jiang family's sinner, the one who would be nailed to the Jiang family's pillar of shame forever, and he would never be able to get rid of it and turn over for the rest of his life.

Jiang Feng tactfully mentioned to Grandma Jiang about delaying the glutinous rice lotus root. Although Grandma Jiang was a little disappointed, she still expressed her understanding, and repeatedly told her: "Then Xiaofeng, you can do it tomorrow, get up early, and it's best to eat it at noon Arrived. Tomorrow your grandpa will cook big goose stewed in an iron pot, glutinous rice and lotus root are especially good with big goose."

Jiang Feng:? ? ?

Glutinous rice lotus root with iron pan stewed goose?

What kind of new combination is this?

Even if he didn't understand in his heart, Jiang Feng still had to express his agreement on the surface: "Okay, don't worry, grandma, I will definitely get up early tomorrow morning to make it for you!"

Although Jiang Feng likes to sleep late, he is also Grandma Jiang's filial grandson.

Compared with filial grandma, what is sleeping late?

Moreover, if you can be filial to grandma early in the morning, you can eat pancakes made by grandma, killing two birds with one stone. As the number one filial figure in the Jiang family's juniors, how could Jiang Feng miss this good opportunity to be filial to grandma?

As soon as the alarm clock rang in the morning of the second day of junior high school, Jiang Feng broke free from the bed one by one. The winter cold made him wake up quickly, dressed and washed quickly, and rushed into the kitchen.

Grandma Jiang's pancakes have been baked, and not only has the cake been baked, but the old man has already eaten it. Seeing Jiang Feng running into the kitchen in a hurry, the old man continued to eat the cakes unhurriedly, and pointed to the washed goose that was lifeless and cleaned on the chopping board.

"Take care of the goose when it comes," the old man said.

Jiang Feng:?

Jiang Feng glanced at the cake in the old man's hand, and the extravagant old man ate three pieces in one go, and stacked the three pieces together to eat.

And there were three pancakes sprinkled with black sesame and white sesame. The one with more black sesame seemed to be specially made by Grandma Jiang for herself.

"Grandpa, what are you having for breakfast this morning?" Jiang Feng reminded gently.

The old man was unmoved, and continued to stack the three cakes and bite, not afraid of chewing, as if to prove his good teeth.

"There are spring rolls in your uncle's room. I think it's in the way of putting them in the kitchen and put them in the living room. I'm afraid it will be cold, so I put them in your uncle's room. There are noodles in the pot, and the marinated water is also in your uncle's room. If you want to have breakfast, you can make the noodles yourself. Go eat at your uncle's house." The old man said.

spring rolls! Brine into the water!

Jiang Feng suddenly forgot about pancakes, what pancakes, pancakes with sesame seeds, is it important that pancakes with sesame seeds have spring rolls?

It's rare for the old man to make spring rolls!

"Okay, grandpa, I'm going now!" Jiang Feng scooped up half a bowl of noodles and ran away with the bowl in hand.

Thanks to him getting up early today, if he sleeps in like he used to, he won't be able to eat spring rolls, let alone spring rolls.

Sure enough, grandsons who are filial to grandma will never have bad luck.

When Jiang Feng ran into Jiang Jianguo's room with the bowl in his hand, there were only three people in the room, all of whom were sitting together wearing the same style of padded pajamas as the landlord Lao Cai.

Jiang Jianguo, his aunt and Jiang Jianshe.

The others are most likely asleep.

The aunt was holding the soup bowl, and there was half a bowl of steaming noodles with soup in the soup bowl. The noodles were covered with a layer of marinated water, and the color of the soup became cloudy and thick because of the combination with the brine.

Jiang Feng took a deep breath, and the whole room was filled with the graceful smell of marinated water and fragrant spring rolls. As soon as he smelled it, he knew it was freshly fried spring rolls.

"Xiaofeng got up very early today, why didn't she sleep a little longer?" Jiang Jianguo was relieved to see that it was Jiang Feng who came, and silently took out the spring roll basin hidden behind him and put it back on the table.

"I got up right after I woke up. I didn't expect such good luck to catch up with grandpa's fried spring rolls." Jiang Feng said with a smile, sitting next to his aunt and joining them.

"The day's plan is in the morning. It's a good thing to get up early. Come on, Xiaofeng, eat it while it's hot. The spring rolls must be fresh from the pan to be delicious, and they won't feel that way when they are cold." Jiang Jianshe said enthusiastically.

"Yes, Fifth Brother is right. The spring rolls fried by Dad must be eaten fresh from the pan." The aunt agreed very much, and to prove her approval, she stretched out her chopsticks to pick up a spring roll and stuffed it into her mouth .

"Crack, click."

The crisp and clear chewing sound came from the aunt's mouth. As soon as she swallowed the spring rolls, the auntie lowered her head and sucked a big mouthful of noodles. The noodles dipped in marinade slipped into the auntie's mouth. Can't help swallowing silently.

Clearly, the marinated water and spring rolls were in front of him, and he was still holding noodles in his hand, but Jiang Feng felt that his aunt's taste was better than that of other people, and the food would taste better as long as it fell into his mouth.

"Auntie, are you not losing weight?" Jiang Feng couldn't hold back all of a sudden.

"For Chinese New Year, don't mention this." The aunt took another sip of soup from the pot, "Xiaofeng, you too, eat while it's hot."

Jiang Feng stretched his chopsticks towards the spring rolls.

Jiang Feng knew from a young age that the spring rolls made by the old man were different from those made outside.

There is no custom of eating spring rolls during Chinese New Year in City Z, but if you are willing to go for a walk on the street during Chinese New Year, you will meet many vendors selling fried spring rolls. These hawkers selling spring rolls are usually rare, only during the Chinese New Year, they will appear all over the street for a long time, and usually disappear a week after the end of the Lantern Festival.

The quality of spring rolls sold in the market varies, some are fried just right, and some are fried for too long and are very chewy. There are mainly two kinds of fillings, one is stuffed with shredded cabbage and pork and the other is stuffed with wild vegetables and tofu. Generally speaking, the stuffed stuffed with shredded cabbage and pork is a little more expensive, and they are sold by the pound.

The spring roll fillings made by the old man are more volatile, and they usually make whatever is in the kitchen.

Spring rolls are troublesome to make, from the skin to the filling, the old man has to make it himself, and after wrapping it, he has to guard the gate himself. There is only one spring roll made by the old man, a small one with a thin skin. If it is stuffed with shepherd's purse, you can clearly see the stuffing inside through the skin after you take it out of the pan after frying.

The Jiang family talked a lot, and their stomachs were large, so two large bowls of spring rolls would not be enough if they really wanted to let their stomachs go. Although the old man never minded that his children and grandchildren ate too much, as a chef, he would get annoyed if they ate too much, so he seldom made spring rolls.

A small spring roll stuffed with shredded pork with chives, even Jiang Feng could wrap it in one bite.

I haven't eaten spring rolls made by the old man for several years. Jiang Feng ate four or five rolls in a row before stopping to take a bite of noodles.

Cool!

Marinated noodles are served with spring rolls filled with freshly cooked crispy chives and shredded pork, and 10 pancakes fried by Grandma Jiang will not be replaced.

After eating, Jiang Feng realized that the staffing in the room was wrong.

Chinese New Year is a regular time for everyone in the Jiang family to sleep in. Who would like to get up early in the southern winter without heating, and leave the warm bed to welcome the morning sun and cold wind?

That is to say, the old man and Grandma Jiang who habitually get up early because they are old, the aunt who has to get up early because they love health preservation, and Jiang Jianguo who has to get up because his wife has to get up.

So how did Jiang Jianshe get started?

The doors and windows in the room were so tightly closed that Jiang Feng didn't smell any spring rolls before he pushed the door outside. How did Jiang Jianshe appear here, and he appeared earlier than Jiang Feng.

You know, Jiang Feng specially set an alarm clock for 6:10 in order to be able to eat the freshly baked pancakes smoothly.

"Uncle Wu, why did you get up so early today?" Jiang Feng held an empty bowl and slowly stuffed spring rolls into his mouth.

He's almost full and expects three more spring rolls at most to end the fight.

Jiang Jianshe was holding a soup bowl that was slightly smaller than his aunt's, with a happy expression on his face: "It's a coincidence, I didn't plan to get up, but went back to sleep after going to the bathroom, and I saw your uncle holding it. Chunjuan, just followed your uncle in."

"So, it's better to wake up early than to wake up. If I didn't wake up at that time and go to the bathroom, I wouldn't be able to eat today's spring rolls. How rare, your grandpa fried such a big one early in the morning. Spring rolls, if I remember correctly, your grandfather hasn't fried spring rolls for several years." Jiang Jianshe sighed.

"The fifth aunt..."

Jiang Jianshe waved his hand: "Your fifth aunt hasn't been sleeping well lately and can't sleep all the time. It's rare that she sleeps so soundly. How can I bother her? Isn't it just ordering spring rolls? How can sleep be so important?"

Jiang Feng: ...

"Wife, do you still eat?" Jiang Jianguo asked.

The auntie shook her head, picked up the soup basin and drank the noodle soup in one gulp: "Even if you don't lose weight during the Chinese New Year, you should control your diet and not eat too much. Jianguo, you should also eat less, and don't overeat once the Chinese New Year comes."

Jiang Jianguo pretended not to hear the latter sentence, turned his head to Jiang Jianshe and said, "The fifth one still has some spring rolls, why don't we share them, Xiaofeng, do you still want to eat?"

Jiang Feng picked up the last spring roll: "Don't eat it, uncle, share it with you."

Jiang Jianguo and Jiang Jianshe took one and the other, and the spring roll basin soon emptied.

Jiang Jianguo, who was full after eating and drinking, sighed with satisfaction, "Jiangshe, what day do you think it is today? Dad got up early in the morning to fry spring rolls, and when he saw me in the kitchen, he asked me to bring the spring rolls back home to eat. He didn't scold me. Dad's attitude towards me is so good, which made me a little uncomfortable. "

Jiang Jianshe said: "Brother, you just like to think about it. Why is Dad treating you so well? Maybe Dad is happy this morning. If I go in, maybe Dad will let me go back to the house with spring rolls."

"That's right, Dad's temper has become more and more difficult to figure out recently." Jiang Jianguo echoed, "It's also very good, just eat what you have."
