The journey of giving birth to a son

Chapter 30 New Year

Jiang Shiyi felt that Mrs. Zhang liked Jiang Hui very much, so she took Jiang Hui with her.

Mrs. Zhang pinched Jiang Hui's face, and Jiang Hui frowned.

"Go and play!" Mrs. Zhang said. Jiang Hui had long been curious about the store and ran to the back to watch the fish.

Jiang Shiyi sat opposite Mrs. Zhang, "Thanks to you, the mooncakes sold well last time. Today, I made some more cakes and brought some for you to eat. I hope you don't dislike it..."

Mrs. Zhang picked up a piece of mung bean cake and tasted it, "It tastes good, with a dense texture..."

Hearing what Mrs. Zhang said, Jiang Shiyi was very happy, "If you like to eat, I will give you more in the future."

"That's not necessary." Mrs. Zhang waved her hand, "Look at my store, people come and go every day, and I have to serve them refreshments. Since you have made these cakes, then give some to my store every day. !”

In fact, this is the purpose of Jiang Shiyi coming to Mrs. Zhang's place. Take Mrs. Zhang's fish shop as an example. The people who come in and out are either rich or noble. After every customer comes in, the waiter has to serve refreshments to the customer. After the guests leave, the refreshments cannot be used again, so Mrs. Zhang needs a lot of pastries to greet the guests every day.

"Since you said so, I will send some over tomorrow!"

Jiang Shiyi sent cakes to Mrs. Zhang for a few days. Mrs. Zhang said that the response from customers was pretty good. Many customers asked where they bought them.

And the ladies who bought Jiang Shiyi mooncakes that day also ordered cakes from Jiang Shiyi.

At the same time, Jiang Shiyi also pushed the trolley to some high-end restaurants to promote it, and also obtained some orders.

Time flew by so fast, and it was the end of the year in the blink of an eye. In the twelfth lunar month, Manager Chen got married. In the past six months, Manager Chen had helped her a lot, so Jiang Shiyi made a set of wedding cakes and sent them over.

On the day of the wedding, Manager Chen also invited Jiang Shiyi's family. Jiang Kejian and Shen Yunniang didn't have time, so Jiang Shiyi took Jiang Hui over to have a drink.

When the weather is cold, Jiang Shiyi stops making cakes. She takes Jiang Hui out every day to see if there is a suitable house to open a shop. Setting up a stall is relatively simple, but opening a shop is more troublesome. You have to rent a house and buy tables and chairs. , kitchen supplies, and may need to hire someone. Jiang Hui can't keep it like this every day. Jiang Shiyi inquired about an academy that only enrolls students after the Chinese New Year. Jiang Hui is going to study. Thinking about it this way, there is a lot to do.

"Dad, do you think this dress looks good?" Jiang Shiyi bought two sets of clothes for Jiang Hui. He was going to study after the Chinese New Year, and Jiang Shiyi wanted him to dress a little better.

Jiang Kejian nodded, "Very good!"

Jiang Hui was wearing a blue straight jacket and a net scarf on his head. He was fair and clean, and looked like a primary school student from Dayan State.

"Dad, I also bought you some clothes." Jiang Shiyi took out a long navy blue coat. Jiang Kejian was very energetic after putting it on, spinning back and forth, with a smile on his face.

At this time, Shen Yuniang came back, "Mom, do you think dad and brother look good in their new clothes?"

"It looks good!" Shen Yunniang said with a smile, "You have been busy for half a year and you haven't bought it yourself?"

Jiang Shiyi also bought herself a dress, which was bright red. It was very festive to wear during the New Year. She put it on to show to her parents and younger brother. Jiang Shiyi was already very good-looking, and the red color matched her skin very well.

"That's all!" Shen Yunniang looked at the table, "Isn't there any more?"

"No more." Jiang Shiyi said casually.

"Oh!" Shen Yunniang murmured softly and walked towards her room.

Her back looks very thin.

Shen Yunniang sat down on the bed, and Jiang Shiyi walked in. Shen Yunniang turned her back to her and did not look back.

"Mom, look what this is?"

"I do not want to look!"

"Look at it!" Jiang Shiyi held a gold hairpin in his hand. The gold hairpin was not very thick and had a simple style. It was just a plum blossom. Jiang Shiyi inserted the golden hairpin into Shen Yunniang's head. Shen Yunniang touched it with her hand, "You girl, what is this?"

"I bought this for you, don't you like it?"

"You bought such expensive things, why didn't you tell me, and then you spent money randomly?"

"I'm willing to buy it for you with the money I earn. I just want to make you happy."

Although Shen Yunniang said it, she was very happy in her heart and touched the golden hairpin again and again.

Jiang Shiyi looked at Shen Yunniang's happy face and thought that he would definitely buy her more good things in the future.

Jiang Shiyi took out a big cardboard box from the closet, "I'm teasing you on purpose. These are your new clothes."

Inside the paper box is a blue stand-up collared double-breasted shirt and a yellow floral pleated skirt.

"Look what you bought? Can your mother wear this color?" Shen Yunniang looked at the pleated skirt. She hadn't worn a skirt in many years.

"This color suits you very well. If you don't believe me, try it on."

Shen Yunniang was also very tall. She was wearing a yellow skirt and a long blue coat. Shen Yunniang thought of the respectable women in the house who were all dressed like this, "What do I look like dressed like this?"

Shen Yunniang could see Jiang Kejian and Jiang Hui looking at her, feeling a little awkward.

"Just put it on, it looks good." Jiang Kejian said this, making Shen Yunniang even more embarrassed.

It was the New Year, and Shen Yunniang asked Jiang Shiyi what she wanted to eat. Jiang Shiyi thought for a while, "Hot pot!"

Shen Yunniang made a sumptuous butter hot pot meal.

In the kitchen, Shen Yunniang's figure was shrouded in smoke. She poured oil into the large pot. When the oil was hot, she poured in a large amount of chili peppers, green and red peppercorns, ginger slices, garlic slices, green onions...

After stir-frying over high heat, add rock sugar, stir-fry the secret bean paste into red oil, and add a large plate of rich butter. The stir-fried base exudes a rich, choking aroma.

Jiang Kejian and Jiang Hui moved a table out and placed a copper hot pot on the table. Jiang Kejian took the tongs and took out three or five red-hot black coals from the stove and put them in.

Jiang Shiyi brought out ingredients one by one from the kitchen. If there were any good vegetables in winter, Jiang Shiyi cut a plate of tofu and his own bean sprouts.

Look at the table. There are duck intestines, chicken gizzards, beef tongue, loin slices, fish balls, tripe...the beef tongue is sliced ​​thinly, the pork belly is sliced ​​thinly, and there are a few other dishes that look like they have been cut into pieces. Cut off pieces of mutton...

It also looks like a hearty table.

The red oil pot "Gulu! Gudu!" is bubbling with butter, and the top layer of the pot is full of red chili peppers and round Sichuan peppercorns.

Jiang Shiyi looked at it and couldn't help but move his index finger.

She couldn't wait to take a piece of tripe with her chopsticks, boil it for a few seconds, put it into the oil bowl and took a bite. Her eyes widened when she took it in.

crisp! fragrant! hot! Cool! The numbness of the Sichuan peppercorns, the spiciness of the chili peppers, and the crispy feeling of the tripe between the lips and teeth are simply too enjoyable!

The cheerful laughter in the room merged with the sound of firecrackers outside...

At the same time, Dingbeihou Mansion in Beicheng was also full of joy, because on New Year's Eve, Dingbeihou Lu Tingyuan returned from Xuan Mansion!
