Five o'clock in the afternoon.

Wufu Hotel.

Under Jiang Feng's arrangement, Jiang Wenxi and Lin Yue met!

The first time Jiang Wenxi saw Lin Yue, he was extremely satisfied. Being able to marry such a beautiful wife, he would wake up smiling in his dreams. What was a mere skin disease?

When Lin Yue saw Jiang Wenxi, she didn't feel very excited, but she wasn't disappointed either. She just felt relieved.

Jiang Wenxi came here alone. Besides his elder brother and his wife, he has an uncle and an aunt.

The eldest brother had to stay at home to take care of grandpa, father and pregnant sister-in-law, and my uncle has not returned from the county yet. My aunt is also very busy at the end of the year, so Jiang Wenxi simply came to the blind date alone.

Anyway, with Xiaofeng around, he doesn't feel lonely.

Lin Yue was accompanied only by her mother, so other relatives were not disturbed.

Jiang Feng introduced both parties, and after they greeted each other, they sat down.

After ordering the dishes and waiting for them to be served, Jiang Feng started the conversation and said, "Aunt Lin, when I went to your village before, I found that some people had already started making glutinous rice dumplings. Do people in your village make glutinous rice dumplings so early every year?"

Aunt Lin asked, "Are you talking about sweet rice dumplings or gray water rice dumplings?"

Jiang Feng said: "I seem to see people doing both kinds of things."

Aunt Lin explained: "As for sweet rice dumplings, our village basically starts making them on the 21st day of the lunar year and stops making them on the 28th day of the lunar year. As for the gray rice dumplings, people in our village generally don't make them so early. What you saw was probably made by someone else and sold."

In Bailiang County, every household must make two kinds of rice dumplings during the Spring Festival:

The first one is sweet rice cake, which is similar to rice cake in other places.

This used to be made in a large iron pot on a clay stove, but later on, special machines for making glutinous rice dumplings became available, and no one makes sweet glutinous rice dumplings manually anymore. After all, not only is it laborious to make by hand, it’s also not as delicious as those made by machines.

The second type is Huishuizong, which is similar to glutinous rice cake in other places.

This is something with very local characteristics. As the name suggests, it is made by soaking glutinous rice in alkaline water made of ash. The best ash is generally recognized to be sesame ash, bean ash and pine ash.

Jiang Feng suddenly realized, "So you're selling them here. How much do you sell them for per pound?"

Aunt Lin said, "If you use baking powder instead of ash water, it's 10 yuan per pound. If you want to use good ash water, the price will be at least three to five yuan more expensive."

While Jiang Feng was chatting with Aunt Lin, Jiang Wenxi did not sit there stupidly, but started a conversation with Lin Yue.

This was also what Jiang Feng told him before coming.

Although Jiang Wenxi is an honest person, it does not mean that he is stupid. He went to work in Guangdong Province at a very young age and stayed in Guangdong Province for many years on and off.

Because he and his older brother took turns taking care of their grandfather and father, he could not stay in any job for long.

This led to him traveling to several of the more famous cities in Guangdong Province over the years!

After knowing that Lin Yue was working in the hometown of martial arts in Guangdong Province, Jiang Wenxi, who had also worked there for a year, started chatting with Lin Yue about the local customs and culture there.

As they were talking, the waiter started serving the dishes.

Several people ate and chatted. Jiang Wenxi, who usually didn't talk much, was now talking nonstop and had a very pleasant chat with Lin Yue.

Jiang Feng had already explained the personal and family situations of both parties to them clearly before they met, so there was no need to ask questions like a household registration check after the meeting, but just chat about what interested them.

After finishing the meal, it was already around seven o'clock in the evening!

After nearly two hours of chatting, Jiang Wenxi and Lin Yue both left a good impression on each other.

When it was time to pay the bill and leave, Jiang Wenxi handed the red envelopes he had prepared long ago to the three people present. Then the two sides exchanged some pleasantries before leaving.

Jiang Wenxi naturally took Jiang Feng's car home.

On the way back, Jiang Feng asked with a smile while driving: "Brother Xi, how do you feel? Are you satisfied with the person I introduced to you?"

Jiang Wenxi said excitedly, "I am satisfied. I am so satisfied. Xiaofeng, you were right. If she hadn't suffered from a skin disease, she would never have liked me. I really got a great bargain!"

Jiang Feng smiled and said, "As long as you are satisfied, ask her out every day for the next few days to cultivate your relationship with her and try to win her over during the Spring Festival."

Jiang Wenxi responded with great motivation: "Well, I will try my best. As for whether I can win, I am not sure."

Jiang Feng said: "Anyway, just perform well, and I'll help you out later. It shouldn't be a big problem."

Jiang Wenxi immediately asked Jiang Feng for advice on how to pick up girls.

Although Jiang Feng was still a bachelor, he had brought so many couples together and had some experience in this area, so he passed it on to him without reservation.

So, one dared to teach and the other dared to learn. When he returned to Longshan Village, Jiang Wenxi had already learned a lot of theoretical knowledge. As for whether it would work or not, he would have to try it to know.

After returning to Longshan Village, Jiang Feng took out 100 yuan from the red envelope that Jiang Wenxi had given him before, and returned the rest to him, which made Jiang Wenxi feel very grateful.

He knew that this was Jiang Feng's care for him.

Before, when Jiang Feng was acting as a matchmaker for his elder brother, he didn't charge any money, but only accepted the gifts bought by his elder brother. Compared with other clients, Jiang Feng really took good care of the two brothers!

He can only keep this kindness in his heart and repay it if he has the chance in the future!

…

Ten o'clock at night.

Jiang Feng was chatting with Huang Lingwei on WeChat. Since they met in real life, their relationship had taken a step forward and now they were only a step away from becoming a couple.

It's just that both of them are enjoying this hazy and ambiguous feeling, and neither of them is willing to take the initiative to break this thin layer of window paper.

Both of them are novel lovers and often talk about novel characters when they chat.

Tonight, Huang Lingwei suddenly became anxious and asked Jiang Feng a question on WeChat:

Huang Lingwei: "Which beauty do you like most in Master Jin's world?"

Jiang Feng: "This question is a bit difficult to answer. Which handsome guy do you like the most in Master Jin's world?"

Huang Lingwei: "Of course it's Yang Guo. He is not only popular among women in the book, but also the male protagonist with the most female fans in real life. This is recognized by everyone."

Jiang Feng: "We have to admit that Yang Guo is popular with both men and women. If we were to create a ranking of the most popular male protagonists, even if Yang Guo couldn't take the top spot, he would definitely be in the top three."

Huang Lingwei: "Yes, the character of Master Jin is so well written. He is the most handsome, his martial arts are top notch, he is loyal and righteous, and he is also extremely smart and eloquent."

Huang Lingwei: "He was eloquent in front of Hong Lingbo, Lu Wushuang, and Gongsun Lue'e. He compared Hong Lingbo to his own big white pig and called Lu Wushuang "wife". The outside world he described made Gongsun Lue'e, who had never set foot outside the Jueqing Valley, extremely yearning."

Huang Lingwei: "He really has so many advantages that women like!"

Jiang Feng: "I didn't realize you know a lot about Yang Guo."

Huang Lingwei: "I've read so many martial arts novels, and this is my favorite male character. Of course I know a little more about him. Don't change the subject. Tell me which female character you like?"

Jiang Feng: "I have three favorite female characters, one is Zhao Min, one is Xiao Long Nu, and one is Huang Rong."

Huang Lingwei: "You can only choose one."

Jiang Feng: "We are all adults, can't we have them all?"

Huang Lingwei: "Bah, scumbag, stop wasting time. If you were only allowed to choose one of these three heroines, who would you choose?"

Jiang Feng: "It's really hard to choose. Each of them has their own advantages. If I really have to choose, I would choose Zhao Min."

Huang Lingwei: "Can you tell me why you chose her?"

Jiang Feng: "There are three reasons."

Huang Lingwei: "I'd like to hear the details."

Jiang Feng: "First, it was influenced by film and television dramas. It is undeniable that among the many female characters, Miss Zhang and Miss Jia, who played Zhao Min, really portrayed Zhao Min with peerless grace and beauty."

Huang Lingwei: "That makes sense, but in this respect, the actress who played Little Dragon Girl should not be inferior!"

Jiang Feng: "Little Dragon Girl is indeed very good, but it's a pity that she was greatly reduced by the Dragon Knight!"

Huang Lingwei: "Well, all men have that complex, I understand!"

Jiang Feng: “Hehehehe!”

Huang Lingwei: "Keep talking!"

Jiang Feng: "Secondly, Zhao Min is the heroine that Master Jin describes the most. He really describes her beauty in all aspects, without any blind spots. No man would not be moved after seeing her. To be honest, when I saw her and Zhang Wuji pretending to be a couple lying on the bed, my heart melted!"

Huang Lingwei: “lsp…”

Jiang Feng: "Thirdly, this princess is deeply in love. In order to be with Zhang Wuji, she gave up her wealth and glory and was willing to travel the world with her beloved. What kind of courage does this take for a princess who has lived a life of luxury since childhood? Moreover, she even had to give up her relatives. How much sacrifice did she make for this?"

Jiang Feng: "Zhao Min is the embodiment of love. It's hard for a man not to like such a deeply affectionate woman!"

Jiang Feng: "It's just like your parents don't like me and don't agree with you marrying me, but you can give up your wealth and glory to live a simple life with me..."

Huang Lingwei: "Bah, wishful thinking, who would give up wealth and glory to live a simple life with you?"

Jiang Feng: "Just give an analogy!"

Huang Lingwei: "In fact, I personally think Huang Rong is also very good. She is the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, the most beautiful in the world, smart, versatile, knowledgeable, proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and her cooking skills are amazing. She has been in love with Guo Jing all her life, sharing life and death with him, and wholeheartedly assisting her husband in defending the country. She is also a very perfect match."

Jiang Feng: "Well, Huang Rong is indeed very good, and she is also one of my favorite heroines."

Huang Lingwei: "As long as they are pretty, who wouldn't you like?"

Jiang Feng: "Haha, I didn't expect you to see through me so quickly..."

That night, the two of them expressed their opinions on the male and female protagonists in Jin's books, and before they knew it, they were chatting until late at night. It was not until the roosters started crowing that they said good night to each other and went to bed.
