Lin Anshu is an ordinary, lowly office worker. The competition in the company is intense, and the boss loves to fine employees and make empty promises. After working diligently for a whole year, sh...
In the county town, in the family compound where Uncle Lin lives.
As soon as he entered his home after get off work, he smelled a wonderful fragrance.
"What are you doing? Why does it smell so good?" Uncle Lin asked curiously.
"An'an came by today, didn't she? She brought a bag of wild vegetables. I was thinking I might as well make some dumplings."
"Look, the dumplings just came out of the pot..." Liu Jing, Lin Erbo's wife, said.
To be honest, she never expected that the dumplings made with the wild vegetables her niece brought would be so delicious.
It smells so good, I wonder how delicious it must taste.
Oh, she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her heart.
Because, not long after her niece left, she started preparing to cook.
Before cooking, she thought her niece had brought a lot of wild vegetables, and wondered how many meals it would take.
Just then, a colleague from the building came over for a visit, so she gave her a handful of [something].
If she had known it would taste this good, she would never have been willing to give it away.
But what can we do now? We've already given it away, we can't just ask for it back, can we?
"An'an's here? It's not the weekend, what brings her here?"
“I asked her, and she said she resigned and plans to come back to recuperate for a while and do some farming.”
"Hurry up and wash your hands, then come and get the dumplings."
"I'll also make a cold dish while I'm at it, that'll do," Liu Jing said as she busied herself.
"Okay." Uncle Lin quickly washed his hands and brought two bowls of dumplings to the table.
The plump, white dumplings, with a faint green hue and a glossy sheen, are soaked in dumpling soup garnished with dried shrimp, cilantro, chili oil, and sesame oil, making one even hungrier just looking at them.
After Liu Jing prepared the cold wild vegetable salad and brought it out, the two of them started eating.
"Oh my god, am I just too hungry or what? These dumplings taste so good today."
Hearing Liu Jing say that, Uncle Lin nodded unconsciously and said, "Indeed, I also think it tastes good."
After eating three dumplings, Liu Jing tried picking up a piece of cold wild vegetable salad with her chopsticks, and was immediately surprised again.
"Try this cold wild vegetable salad, it tastes pretty good too."
After tasting it, Uncle Lin nodded: "It seems that the wild vegetables that An'an brought are really good."
Strangely enough, in previous years when Uncle Lin had time to go back to his hometown, he would also take the opportunity to dig up some wild vegetables to taste.
The taste was just so-so.
It wasn't nearly as delicious as what I ate today. The fresh wild vegetables, after being tossed in a cold salad, had a tangy, spicy, and refreshing flavor that was very appetizing.
After taking one bite, I wanted another; I could never get enough.
The two of them quickly finished the dumplings in front of them, and the plate of vegetables was also empty.
"Have you eaten yet?" Liu Jing asked.
No, what about you?
"I don't have any either."
"Then... shall I go and make some more?"
"Okay, I'll eat fifteen more, oh no, twenty more."
"Okay, I'll eat fifteen more."
After saying that, Liu Jing got up and went to make dumplings.
Fortunately, she had nothing to do in the afternoon, so she made dumplings while watching the English news. She made quite a few.
After finishing their second bowl, the two of them lay down on the sofa to rest, rubbing their bellies with great satisfaction.
Burp~
As teachers, they naturally know that they shouldn't eat too much at dinner.
But there was no way to resist; the dumplings were just too delicious.
Before I knew it, I had eaten too much.
After washing the dishes, Uncle Lin still felt bloated and couldn't help but speak up.
"How about we go for a walk?"
"Okay, let's go."
The two had only gone downstairs for a short while when they were blocked by someone.
“Jingjing, I heard from Xiaowen that you gave her a bunch of wild vegetables, and those wild vegetables tasted incredibly good.”
"Where did you buy that thing?"
"It was brought by Weiqi's niece today. It must have been dug up in their hometown," Liu Jing said uncertainly.
"Could you help me ask if those wild vegetables are for sale?"
"Okay, I'll ask."
After saying that, Liu Jing made a phone call to Lin Anshu in front of that person.
"How so?"
“An’an said that she has been selling wild vegetables recently, for twenty yuan a bunch, right at the entrance of the largest vegetable market in the county.”
"I arrive around 5 p.m. every day."
"However, the quantity is small, and it will sell out in less than 30 minutes."
Liu Jing only just realized that those delicious wild vegetables were actually not cheap.
In other words, the bag of wild vegetables that An'an brought cost more than a hundred yuan.
"Twenty yuan? That's a bit more expensive than the regular price."
"But it's okay, it's delicious food, what's wrong with being a little expensive?"
"How about you tell your niece to save me one, no, two, for tomorrow?"
"Well... how about this, I'll give you An'an's WeChat, and you can join her vegetable-selling group."
"An'an just told me that she has a group chat for notifying people about selling vegetables. Just keep an eye on the group messages and send them over," Liu Jing said.
It's not that she didn't want to help.
The main reason is that these wild vegetables taste really good.
In addition, the person in front of me is actually a bit of a chatterbox.
If we help her, and she spreads the word that wild vegetables are delicious, won't everyone in the compound come looking for her?
When the time comes, she can't just agree to everyone's requests without considering An'an, can she?
But I can't refuse to help, since we're all from the same neighborhood.
What's more, this person's father-in-law is a leader in the county.
