Siheyuan: Craftsmen of a Great Country

Chapter 92 Revenge, Pepper Plan

What else could Jiang Chen say: "Okay, it's okay. I'll just find a workshop and blast it later."

"Go to my place for hot pot tomorrow and call your Brother Jie over."

Luo Xue was stunned: "Why do you suddenly think of treating you to hot pot?"

Jiang Chen said honestly: "The main thing is to invite you Brother Jie, I'm just here by the way."

Luo Xue curled her lips and thought to herself: What a liar. I guess if you don’t believe it, you mainly want to invite Brother Jie.

But he said: "Huh, just by the way, you just want me not to go, you guys should eat more, I won't be fooled."

Jiang Chen smiled and said, "Oh, you are so smart."

"How was the training?"

Luo Xue said, "Fortunately, everyone is more cooperative now and everything is moving forward in an orderly manner."

Jiang Chen nodded: "It's been cold these past two days. Please tell the training specialist later to ask everyone to move more and don't get frostbite."

Luo Xue nodded: "Since the snow started yesterday, we have reminded the training specialist and told everyone to stick to it. The furnace will be turned on in a few days and it will not be so cold."

Jiang Chen nodded: "Then everyone should worry more."

Luo Xue said: "Leader, don't be so arrogant. As a subordinate, of course we want you to have no worries and concentrate on doing big things."

Jiang Chen was noncommittal: "Okay, I'll leave first and find a workshop to bake."

Luo Xue snorted: "Are you going to Liu Yue's workshop?"

Jiang Chen smiled and said, "I advise you to mind your own business."

After lunch, Jiang Chen told He Yuyu and Malotov about eating hot pot.

Malotov was naturally very happy when he heard that there was something delicious again.

He even asked He Yuyu to take him to the courtyard house so that he could know the way.

At eight o'clock that night, Malotov and Jiang Chen completed the final improvement of the machine tool, and the work came to an end.

Malotov leaned on his chair and smoked: "I will leave early the day after tomorrow."

Jiang Chen nodded: "I may not be able to see you off the day after tomorrow. Let's have some hot pot together tomorrow and just practice it for you."

Malotov smiled and said: "We are all grown men, so there is no need to be so pretentious."

After a long silence, he spoke again: "Also, your idea is right."

Jiang Chen was stunned: "What?"

Malotov pointed to the Big Brother machine tool that had not been improved: "It!"

When you're done, turn around and leave.

Before leaving, he confirmed Jiang Chen's previous idea.

From the standpoint of his own country, there is only so much he can say.

It's just that he may have never thought about it. Jiang Chen has never thought about adjusting these machine tools. What he wants to do is transcend.

After Malotov left, Jiang Chen also turned around and went home.

This is the first time in a week that I have gone home so early.

When Jiang Chen returned home to get carbon, he was stunned.

Because its carbon content is low.

It's still the same location, the upper right corner of the briquettes pile.

Although there is not much less, it is truly less.

If it is the first time, it may be that the snow came suddenly and the family was not prepared.

Just use a little appropriately and return it later.

But this is already the second time.

Taking it without asking twice in a row is stealing.

It's a pity that the fallen university covered up the traces on the ground. I don't know who did it.

After thinking about it for a while, it seems that the person who stole it is not difficult to guess.

This front yard is just like a home.

Although Yan Bugui loves petty gains, he cannot do such things as stealing.

Moreover, he would prepare necessities such as briquettes in advance. It is possible that He Yuzhu accidentally forgot to prepare it, but if he used it, he would definitely tell Jiang Chen when he saw him in the cafeteria during the day.

Once eliminated, only the Jia family is left.

That Jia Zhang is not a simple master, she can definitely do this kind of thing without telling anyone.

Of course, this is just Jiang Chen's guess and cannot be used as evidence.

Even if you go to the police, it may be difficult to find evidence under such conditions. You can't let the police comrades hide in their homes for a day, waiting to be caught.

Jiang Chen pondered for a moment, then took out the coal with a dustpan and returned to the house.

It's just that the quantity is much larger than usual.

After returning to the house, Jiang Chen lit some briquettes and started to burn the kang.

There are other arrangements for the remaining coal.

He carefully dug a small hole in the briquettes with a spoon, and then put two spoonfuls of chili powder into it.

This is the extra spicy chili noodles he brought from home. He usually doesn't want to use it, but he never thought it would come in handy now.

After filling the chili noodles, slightly wet the cinders just dug out, and then filled them back in.

After filling it out, look carefully and see that there are no flaws.

Jiang Chen followed suit and filled the remaining ten or so briquettes with chili powder.

Then, taking advantage of the darkness, he carefully placed the processed briquettes in the upper right position for the convenience of others.

If you want to take advantage of me, don't even think about it.

After doing all this, Jiang Chen returned to the house and lay down on the warm quilt.

Early the next morning, before Jiang Chen got up, He Yuyu knocked on his door.

Jiang Chen resisted the nostalgia for the quilt, got dressed, got out of bed and opened the door: "What are you doing so early?"

He Yuyu said: "Aren't lovers having hot pot today? We have to make preparations early. Let's go for a walk and buy groceries."

Ever since he learned that the bracelet was worth a thousand yuan, He Yuyu became more serious and active in cooking for Malotov.

Jiang Chen said: "Hot pot is eaten in the afternoon, there is no need to eat it so early."

He Yue arrived: "You have to go early to buy groceries. If you go late, you'll end up with the useless groceries picked out by others."

Everyone else was so positive, and Jiang Chen couldn't say anything.

I had to brave the snow and rain to rush to the market.

Sichuan peppercorns, onions, ginger, garlic, sugar, star anise, bay leaves, cloves, cinnamon, fennel, grass fruits, and other seasonings were all bought.

Just buy two kilograms of dried chili peppers.

I also had to buy some Douban, but I couldn’t find Douban in Pixian County, so Shaofeng just used it.

It was hard to buy refined butter, so I had to go to several places to buy it.

As for other dishes, buy some that are suitable for hot pot.

I even bought duck intestines, but I just had to take care of them myself.

While shopping, He Yuyu's brows knitted together: "I feel like today's hot pot may not taste good."

Jiang Chen was stunned: "Why?"

He Yuyu raised the fishnet bag in his hand: "Look, you said that you use butter to stir-fry the base. It's so fishy. Can it be eaten?"

"And the duck intestines can only be eaten stir-fried. Use sauerkraut to suppress the smell, otherwise it will be inedible."

"There are also chili peppers. If you buy so many, they will kill someone in a while."

Although her cooking skills are good, hot pot is something beyond her understanding.

For a cook, it's strange that she can have confidence when the ingredients are out of her control.

Jiang Chen smiled and said, "You'll soon know how delicious these things are when combined."

"That is to say, there are less vegetables at this time, otherwise the peas and the enoki mushrooms, tsk tsk"

He Yuyu nodded helplessly: "Okay, it's up to you to treat the guests. I'm afraid that the foreigner will not be happy after a while and ask me to get the bracelet back."

Jiang Chen said: "No, there is a reason to take back the things you gave away. They are also shameless people."
