Escape from the desert

Chapter 97 Finding Potatoes

As soon as Jiang Yan finished speaking, Lin Wenhan immediately blushed, embarrassed and angry, a trace of hatred flashed in his eyes, and said angrily: "I said that I will go back to the village next time and ask my aunt to do it for me, maybe they heard it wrong. ."

When those students heard this, their expressions changed, and when they looked at Lin Wenhan again, the respect and politeness they had before had lost their respect, and they all sighed in their hearts. .

But a few high-spirited ones couldn't help but scold.

"Brother Wenhan, this is your fault. You clearly said that you have eaten it yourself. You and this aunt are close relatives, and you can taste delicious food sooner or later, so why make fun of us."

"That's right, Brother Wenhan, gentlemen do what they can and do not do."

The embarrassment on Lin Wenhan's face became more and more obvious.

In the past, the students of the academy ridiculed him for being poor. He was an unreliable farmer. Although he cared about it, he could only force himself to face it calmly. But today, he felt that he did nothing wrong. His aunt loved him so much. Sooner or later, he will also make food for him, he just said it in advance.

Jiang Yan saw Yu Xuan who was hiding behind the crowd, and immediately guessed that it was Yu Xuan who told Lin Wenhan about Fang Zi, so this guy used himself to pretend to be stinky, but unfortunately, she was no longer the Jiang before. Auntie.

"Han'er, it's not easy for Auntie to do business. This recipe has already been sold to a restaurant. If you want to eat it, just come to the restaurant and eat it yourself."

Lin Wenhan immediately smiled and swept away the haze on his face: "Auntie, if I come to the restaurant to eat, will I not charge money?"

Jiang Yan was shocked by his brazenness and then said: "How can you do it? Going to a restaurant for dinner, if you don't give money, wouldn't that mean eating a king's meal? Han'er! Where have all the books you read all these years gone? ?"

Lin Wenhan hurriedly shook his head, and hurriedly said flatteringly, "Auntie, I have spent the money you gave me last time, and now I don't have any extra money on me, so I can afford the restaurant's food there."

The implication was to ask Jiang Yan to give some money, but Jiang Yan didn't understand what he was thinking, and immediately said angrily: "Han'er, I thought your grandma made it clear to you, I will send my own son to study in the future, If you don't have money for you, don't even think about asking me for money, if you want to meet me in the future, I will answer if you are willing to call me auntie, if you don't want to, you can pretend that you don't know me when you meet next time."

Lin Wenhan was stunned, looking at Jiang Yan blankly, his aunt would never talk to him like this!In the past, he used to be quiet and cautious, and he would always please him, what happened now?
He hesitated for a while before hurriedly said: "Auntie, what's wrong with you? Grandma didn't tell me..."

"Okay, you don't need to say any more. I still have things to do. In short, remember that I will not give you a penny in the future, let alone other things. I have given enough over the years!"

After Jiang Yan finished speaking, she said to the shopkeeper Fu: "I'll go back to the village first, and the shopkeeper Fu will also go back to the restaurant. Next time I have time, I'll catch up with you. Brother Wu, let's go." After she finished speaking, she turned over and got into the carriage , leaving everyone behind. The shopkeeper Fu is also a good person. Seeing that Jiang Yan obviously disliked these reading clerks, he thought he didn't know them, and turned around and entered the restaurant.

Lin Wenhan stayed in place by himself, the expression on his face changed and changed, staring at the carriage away, his eyes were full of hatred, and the students who were polite to him before also changed. The previous attitudes were crowded around, and some even sneered and pointed and said very harshly.

Jiang Wen also couldn't escape everyone's discussion. For a time, the two of them became the laughing stock of the academy's after-school tea. Jiang Wen still lowered his head and showed no expression on his face, as if all this had nothing to do with him, but his heart was full. It was a little bit of joy. Although the little aunt didn't want him anymore, she didn't want Lin Wenhan either.

Lin Wenhan couldn't stand the scolding attitude of everyone. Those contempt and ridicule pierced his heart like the tip of a knife and stimulated his nerves. The storm surged in his heart, and the horror of the storm was brewing in his eyes. Heaven's Pride, although his family is poor, his knowledge is much better than those of the wealthy laity, and even the teacher praises him. No matter how those people look down on him as a farmer, they have to respect him a little, what? When he suffered this insult!

Auntie!It's all my aunt's fault!
Old Wu took Jiang Yan to a carpenter's shop. This carpenter is a master with excellent craftsmanship. According to Jiang Yan's ideas and her drawings, he drew lifelike patterns, which are much better than her own paintings, because It takes time to make abrasives, so I ordered them to pick up after two days.

"Brother Wu, I have to trouble you to accompany me for more shopping today. I want to see if there are any seasonings or fresh products in town."

Old Wu nodded and said, "You're welcome, it's what I should do, there is a fresh food street over there, but the business is bad, Yong'an town has been in drought for the past few years, and fresh food is brought back from outside. , there are not many varieties, and the price is also expensive, the shops in front of the seasoning are the ones."

Jiang Yan nodded, and the two walked to the cold street. There were very few fresh products, including fish, shrimp and crabs, but there were very few people who bought them, and there were not many stalls. Most of them just glanced at them. gone.

"Boss, how do you sell this fish?"

When the fishmonger saw the guests, he immediately greeted them with a smile: "Sister-in-law, I sell fish by the piece, the big one is [-] cents a piece, and the small one is seven cents a piece."

Jiang Yan continued: "It's so expensive."

The fishmonger immediately said: "It's not expensive or expensive, the big one has four or five catties, and the small one is two or three catties. Although this fish is not very easy to cook, but if you put some ginger and cook it, it can be considered a meat dish. Much cheaper than pork."

Jiang Yan nodded. People here rarely eat fish. In addition to the drought, there are even fewer aquatic products. The fish itself has a very strong fishy smell. In terms of price, the rich and the rich basically don’t eat it, and the poor sometimes buy one or two when they are greedy for meat.

But for Jiang Yan, fish is tender and has high nutritional value. She has more than a dozen ways to cook fish. When she thinks of pickled fish, spicy boiled fish, and garlic fish fillets... her saliva is drooling.

"Okay, get me three big ones." Jiang Yan took out the money quickly, and the fishmonger immediately took the money, fished the fish out of the water, and quickly passed through the gills of the fish with a few sticks of hay. Three fish skewers hang together.

Old Wu immediately took the fish handed over by the fishmonger, without saying a word, he just followed Jiang Yan quietly. Yan go.

The two then went to the condiment shop. The shop sold all common condiments. The two of them were dressed in ordinary clothes, even a little shabby.

Jiang Yandong touched the west and looked around, and Lao Wu also looked at it. He didn't have any seasonings at home, and he didn't have much salt, so it was time to buy some.

Jiang Yan didn't pay attention to him at all, but the grass carp on the skewer followed Old Wu's footsteps and dripped neat and uniform drops of water all the way, which aroused strong dissatisfaction from the second shopkeeper. She just glanced at it, and this one glance directly shook her to the spot. .

"Brother Wu! What did you take!"

She cried out in a complacent manner, but she knew better than anyone that Lao Wu was holding potatoes!Potato!
