Late at night
Jiang Maomao: [Do you have any medicine? ]
Ginger Cat: [To relieve stomachache]
Jiang Qing curled up in the quilt, covering her stomach with one hand.
She overestimated her own ability to bear it and underestimated the honesty of the vendor. He really said that the devil spicy is the devil spicy, he really said it, I cried to death.
She thought her stomach was made of iron, but it turned out to be useless and could not keep up with her cravings.
After Jiang Qing separated from Lin Nanyan in the evening, she tiptoed past the living room holding a bag of snacks.
Her parents' bedroom was shrouded in darkness. The two middle-aged people, who went to bed early and rose early, had already turned out the lights and gone to bed. The room was silent, lit only by the small nightlight she and Lin Nanyan had left behind when they left, emitting a warm yellow glow that stained the floor.
She put the snacks in the bedroom, walked to the kitchen trash can, looked at the remaining cold skewers, raised her hand to throw them away but stopped.
After all, it cost money.
What a shameful waste!
Jiang Qing silently gave herself a thumbs up for her high quality.
It was late at night and no one noticed.
Now her wounds had healed and she had forgotten the pain, and her mouth began to secrete saliva automatically again.
Although there are skewers sold everywhere, to be honest, the same method can have a thousand different flavors in the hands of a thousand people. Although barbecue seems very simple to make, not everyone can make it delicious.
The reason why this stall has won her favor is that the owner has excellent craftsmanship.
The meat is baked to the right temperature, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, covered with a layer of exclusive secret sauce, garnished with sesame seeds, cumin powder, and chili powder. The meat skewers are marinated in advance. When you take a bite, the aroma of pepper mixed with the aroma of sauce, paired with the aroma of chili and meat, is full of the taste of happiness.
Slurp!
Of course, Jiang Qing is not completely stupid yet.
She searched the kitchen cabinets and found some oil-absorbing paper. She took the oil-absorbing paper and began to rub it back and forth on the skewers, rubbing the chili powder over and over again until only a thin layer was left on the skewers. Finally, she put it in the microwave to heat it up.
Two minutes later, Jiang Qing was sitting alone at the dining table. A night light was on at the corner of the table, casting her reflection.
She took a bite of the skewers, memorized two math formulas on a sticky note, and drank a sip of milk, all as a reward for her studies that day.
Look at my clever little brain. Milk can help relieve the spiciness, so it won’t feel spicy to me.
Ah, a bite of skewers, a formula, and a sip of milk, so relaxed and comfortable.
After she finished memorizing the three sticky notes, she looked at the remaining skewers packaging bags and thought, then looked back at her parents' room. Fortunately, it was still dark and no one noticed her little action.
After packing the barbecue bags, I saw a bag of garbage placed at the door opposite me as soon as I walked out of the house. It should be the garbage packed in advance to be taken away tomorrow.
After less than two seconds of contemplation, the decision was made: it's you.
She opened the garbage bag opposite, put the skewer packaging in, and stuffed it down the bottom again and again.
Dear Mom and Dad, this is for the people next door, not me.
After disposing of the body, she clapped her hands and went home, carefully closing the door so as not to wake her parents. She returned to her bedroom and reviewed her studies for the day. After a long while, she washed and went to bed, mumbling English words.
Jiang Qing was suddenly awakened by the pain in the middle of the night.
She tossed and turned in bed, thinking the pain would subside if she endured it for a while, but the pain came in waves, seemingly endless. As a last resort, she sat up and went to the utility room to look for painkillers.
But she didn't know whether her memory was wrong or her parents didn't have any painkillers, but she searched for a while and couldn't find any. She didn't dare to disturb her parents, for fear that they would ask too many questions and get scolded.
Helplessly, she could only hunch over and go to the kitchen to pour a cup of hot water.
In the Chinese concept, as long as you have a stomachache, no matter what the cause is, hot water can relieve the pain.
If you have a stomachache, don't worry, just drink hot water; if you have a stomachache, don't worry, just drink hot water; if you have diarrhea, don't worry, still drink hot water...
Just drink more hot water, it can cure all diseases.
Jiang Qing sipped the hot water, praying that her stomach would hold up and not be so vulnerable to the elements. She curled up in bed, hoping that sleep would bring relief, that the pain would go away.
On the floral bed sheet, someone was rolling around, changing positions every now and then, making the sheet wrinkled.
Finally, the person on the bed couldn't help it and took out his cell phone and started typing.
The person on the other side did not respond for a long time. Jiang Qing wailed in her heart, wondering if Lin Dagou had died in his sleep.
She lay dead on the bed with a pale face and lifeless eyes.
Let it be destroyed, she chose to leave it to fate.
After getting through this night, tomorrow will be a new day, and she will have a brand new iron stomach.
After an unknown amount of time, there was finally a sound from the phone.
Jiang Qing slowly stretched out a hand, not daring to move, as any movement would cause stomachache. After a lot of effort, she fumbled for her cell phone, took a look, and was shocked again and again.
Lin Dagou: [Open the door]
She got out of bed with difficulty, moving forward step by step, her body becoming shorter and shorter.
After sending the message, Lin Nanyan stood at the door waiting.
There was no movement from inside the door, and he didn't urge anyone.
When the door opened, what appeared in front of Lin Nanyan was a girl who was holding her stomach, tilting her pale face up, sweating all over her head, and still smiling at him foolishly.
He walked in carrying the bag, not caring that the person behind him was still slowly moving towards him.
He went to the kitchen to get hot water as if he knew the way there. He tore off the packaging bag and took out the pills from the medicine box. He put the hot water and medicine on the table and pushed them in front of Jiang Qing.
Jiang Qing looked at his expression, not daring to speak. She took the medicine obediently and swallowed it with water.
The bitter taste of the pill lingered in her mouth. She frowned and drank the water in one gulp to suppress the taste.
Lin Nanyan picked up the water cup and walked into the kitchen. Jiang Qing followed him, holding her stomach.
The person in front of her was standing in front of the sink washing cups, leaving only his back to Jiang Qing. The dim light stretched his shadow very long, extending to her feet.
"You...are still angry?"
Jiang Qing always felt that the atmosphere was weird, and couldn't help but ask in a low voice.
Upon hearing this, Lin Nanyan turned off the faucet and put the cup on the shelf next to him.
He turned and looked at Jiang Qing, "No."
Obviously there is one, she complained in her heart as she looked at the boy's expressionless face with tightly furrowed brows.
"If you say no, then there is no." Jiang Qing said sullenly.
After all, it was she who troubled others to deliver medicine in the middle of the night. She was in the wrong and had no way to refute.
She watched Lin Nanyan leave her with a cold face.
When the boy walked out, he turned to face Jiang Qing and didn't move.
Jiang Qing reported her condition very consciously: "I feel much better after taking the medicine. And thank you for coming to bring the medicine in the middle of the night. I thought you were fast asleep, and I had to stay up until dawn."
She said with a look of relief, "Thank goodness you didn't die in your sleep."
Fortunately, Lin Nanyan is indeed reliable.
Watching the girl's cheeks gradually regain their rosy complexion, Lin Nanyan told her sternly, "Take the medicine again tomorrow morning."
"Also, you don't have to go shopping tomorrow morning."
Upon hearing the bad news, Jiang Qing didn't care about anything else and jumped to her feet.
"No, I must go."
Isn't it just a stomachache? It will be fine after taking medicine. Why is she so fragile that she can't even go to the market?
Tomorrow is her first meal with Ye Meiyan, and it can't end in a hasty manner no matter what. She has booked a meal at the vegetable market.
But seeing that the person opposite him had his lips tightly pursed, it was obvious that he was about to get angry again.
Jiang Qing quickly tried to appease him, "How could I not go? I'm an expert at picking lotus roots. I have a keen eye and can tell which lotus roots are rotten at a glance."
Seeing the boy's expression gradually soften, she continued, "Tomorrow we have a barbecue party. How about I personally make you some grilled lotus root slices with my exclusive secret recipe? It's so delicious, you'll definitely be full of praise. But this dish requires the lotus root slices to be extremely fresh. If you go by yourself, I'm afraid you won't be able to control it and won't be able to pick out the best ones."
Although she didn't know how to make this so-called exclusive secret recipe of homemade roasted lotus root slices, it didn't matter. When the time came, her hands would use their ingenuity and she would definitely be able to make it.
Seeing the boy's attitude soften, just when she thought she had convinced him, she saw the man on the other side ruthlessly spit out two words: "No."
Ahhhh!
What exactly does it take for him to agree?
Forget it, Jiang Qing thought frantically, if he doesn’t agree to let me go secretly, I have two legs, how can he stop me?
Lin Nanyan was like a worm in her stomach, seeing through her thoughts at a glance.
"If you go there quietly tomorrow, I will tell Uncle Jiang that you stole the barbecue at the gate of the community tonight."
"you!!!"
No martial ethics!
If her father knew that his daughter did not support the food in his own store and secretly went to another store to buy barbecue, he would definitely be very sad and think that his cooking skills had regressed. He smiled on the surface but was emo in private.
God knows, she just wants to change her taste. Her father's cooking skills are absolutely top-notch, otherwise her family's business wouldn't be so popular. The public has sharp eyes.
Lin Nanyan had precisely strangled her weak spot, and she compromised: "Tell me, what do you want me to do in exchange for going with you?"
Before he could speak, she emphasized, "I must go."
Lin Nanyan stared at her for a long time and found that there was no sign of hesitation on the girl's face. It seemed that she was determined to go.
"I won't call you tomorrow morning. Eight..." He glanced at the girl, "We'll leave at nine. If you're late, just wait for me at home."
"Okay, I won't be late." Jiang Qing vowed. She decided to set ten or eight alarms when she got home.
"And no chili peppers in tomorrow's barbecue." Seeing the girl's excited face, he added.
???!!!!!!
Barbecue without chili is like a human being without a soul. How can it be considered barbecue?
Jiang Qing was just about to try to persuade him to change his mind when she heard the person on the other side say firmly, "No room for negotiation."
Okay, for the sake of tomorrow's party, she can hold it in.
It’s Mei Yan, I can’t have fun with you tomorrow, she apologized in her heart to her soon-to-be friend.
"I promise."
"No other requests?" she asked.
If there were a few more, she was afraid she would be unable to resist tickling people.
