Siheyuan: The Final Winner

  Chapter 158

   Wait for Wen Li to finish counting the supplies.

   Tong Zhi finally breathed a sigh of relief, and invited Jiang Pingan to say:

   "Chief Jiang, we must stay for lunch today."

  Wen Li interjected with a smile, "I invited Section Chief Jiang to stay for dinner."

   "Tong Zhi, you can have a drink with Section Chief Jiang later, so you can talk."

   "Good! Good! Good! I want to have a few drinks with Section Chief Jiang." Tong Zhi said happily.

   "It just so happened that I went to the Northeast this time and brought back a pot of grain wine. The taste will definitely not disappoint Section Chief Jiang!"

  Wen Li smiled slightly, took a pen and paper, and wrote an IOU to Jiang Ping'an.

  What tickets were borrowed, and the amount, are clearly written.

   "Ping... Section Chief Jiang, you accept the IOU first, and Tong Zhi and I will pay you back slowly next year." Wen Li said politely.

  Jiang Ping'an smiled, took a look at the IOU, said it was good, and put it in his pocket.

   "Don't worry, you don't need to rush to pay back the ticket that you promised to help you back then."

  Wen Li smiled and said, "Thank you very much."

   "Sit down for a while, Tong Zhi will talk to Section Chief Jiang for a while."

   "I'll go and cook first, and I'll call you when the meal is ready."

   As he spoke, he turned and went to work.

  Jiang Pingan took a puff of cigarette, then turned to Tong Zhi and said:

   "Over there in the northeast, how are the common people's lives going?"

   "It's much better than ours." Tong Zhi mused.

   "After all, there are two big granaries over there, and the common people can eat a stick noodle at worst."

   "As for the incident of cutting off the cooker in twos and fives, it rarely happens."

  Jiang Ping'an nodded and asked with a smile, "I heard from Teacher Wen that you are from Sichuan Province?"

   "Hey, in the mountain city, has Section Chief Jiang heard of the Jiefangbei?" Tong Zhi smiled.

  Jiang Pingan said with a smile: "Not only have I heard of it, but I also know it quite well, because I love hot pot."

   "Of course, I also love Sichuan cuisine, and the taste is more like the spicy taste from the mountain city."

  The mountain city is a city of fog, and it is close to the water, so the humidity is heavy.

  So the taste of the people there is stronger than that of Sichuan.

   Not only spicy, but also numb.

   Tong Zhi sighed: "One side feeds the other side, you don't believe it."

   "After I came to work in Beijing, I cooked hot pot with the seasonings and ingredients brought from my hometown."

   "But I have cooked it many times, but I still can't cook the original Shancheng hot pot."

   "Although the taste is almost the same after cooking, there is always a flavor missing."

   "Later, I thought about it carefully. It should be related to the water quality of the two places."

   "The water quality in the north is hard, and the water quality in the south is soft."

   "So there is still a significant difference in the taste of the cooked food."

   As he spoke, he smiled and continued:

   "But I can't treat you to hot pot today."

   "But I can treat you to authentic Sichuan cuisine."

   "By the way, cook a few Sichuan dishes to entertain Section Chief Jiang!"

  Wen Li over there responded and continued to work.

   "Hehe, you're welcome, you're welcome!" Jiang Ping'an said with a beaming smile.

   Next, the two sat and chatted.

   Nothing more than national events, human geography, delicious food, career development and so on.

  Talk about everything, but get along well.

  As for Wen Li and Tong Zhi's daughter, Yan Ni.

   I sent it to my grandma’s house a few days ago, so I haven’t seen it.

  Because Tong Zhi was with him, it was not easy for Jiang Pingan to make trouble.

  A little past eleven o'clock, Wen Li made lunch.

   The food is served, but it is also rich.

   Braised carp in brown sauce, scrambled eggs with leeks, fried vermicelli with cabbage, homemade fried bean curd sticks, pickled dried radish.

  Add an egg soup.

   Except soup, all other dishes tend to be spicy, spicy, salty and fragrant.

   "Chief Jiang, you must try this bag of grain wine I brought back." Tong Zhi strongly recommended.

   "This wine has a strong aroma, is clear and transparent, free from impurities, and tastes sweet..."

  Wen Li sat on the side, smiling and not talking, but she kicked her leg lightly with her foot under the table.

  Jiang Ping'an smiled and said, "Okay, I'm happy without wine!"

   "Since you admire this wine so much, you must be greedy today!"

   Then, he and Tong Zhi talked, ate vegetables and drank alcohol.

   After a while, Tong Zhi was drunk.

   "Did you do it on purpose?" Wen Li put down the bowl and chopsticks, her face jumped with joy, her eyes were like silk.

  Jiang Pingan nodded and stood up with a smile, "I am..."

   As he spoke, he stepped forward...

  …

   "Phew, it's almost there!" Wen Li said with a long breath.

  The bedroom was in a mess. Jiang Pingan hugged Wen Li, nodded, and smoked slowly.

  Wen Li rubbed against his arms, whispered:

   "Let's say it first, those tickets will not be repaid to you in a while, and you will have to collect them slowly next year."

   "Well, you've said it three or four times. There's no rush. When you have it, just give it to me."

  Wen Li smiled and said, "I thought you said you didn't want those tickets..."

   "I'm not stupid, why not?" Jiang Ping'an smiled.

   "How rare is the ticket, and there are so many places where I use the ticket!"

  Wen Li said: "But I still want to thank you for helping us get so many years of goods."

   "Why are you thanking me? Our relationship is deep, so there is no need to thank me!" Jiang Pingan said with a smirk.

  Wen Li thumped him lightly and said, "You just don't have a job!"

  Jiang Pingan laughed, looked at his watch, and said:

   "Okay, it's almost time, let's get up quickly."

   "Otherwise I'm afraid I'll catch a cold."

  Wen Li also knew the seriousness, got up and poured a basin of hot water for hygiene.

  The two flirted for a while, each dressed properly.

  Jiang Pingan held Tong Zhi in one hand, threw him on the bed, and then covered him with a quilt.

   "This is not afraid of catching a cold!" Jiang Ping'an laughed.

  Wen Li shook her head and smiled, stepped over to clean up the dishes, and said:

   "I won't send you off, let's see you in the new year."

  Jiang Ping'an had told her just now that he was going to the countryside to celebrate the New Year.

  Jiang Pingan went up, put his arms around her waist from behind her, and whispered:

   "Don't send me off, there are too many people at the moment!"

   As he spoke, he gave her a light peck, and then walked away.

  Wen Li looked at his back, with a faint smile on her face, rubbed her stomach and murmured:

   "Baby, baby, you have to be more aggressive!"

  At the beginning, she listened to Jiang Ping'an's suggestion and went to the hospital to issue a fake certificate.

  It is said that the body is weak and needs to be nourished.

  Downstairs, Jiang Ping'an rode his bike home.

  Ding Qiunan, Liu Lan, and Liang Ladi don't need to go there.

  A few days ago, he had taken the time to meet them.

  By the way, I also gave them some past supplies.

  Although there are not too many things, it is also a thought.

   As for the girl Yu Haitang.

   She went back to her hometown with her sister Yu Li these days, so don't worry about it.

   Back in the courtyard, Jiang Ping'an found that everyone in the courtyard had gone to the middle courtyard.

  So he lifted the bicycle into the house and put it away, and then walked to the middle courtyard.

   From a distance, I saw He Yuzhu at the door of his house, holding a brand new bicycle, shouting at everyone.

   "Not long ago, I went to the leader's house to cook, and the leader gave me a ticket!"

   "I took advantage of the free time on Sunday, so I went to buy it by the way!"
