5:13 pm.

In a restaurant in D City, Fujian Province, Murong Yue met the matchmaker Jiang who came from afar.

The moment she saw the other person, Murong Yue was stunned for 2.545521 seconds. She really didn't expect that a matchmaker would be so handsome. Even compared with those big stars, he was not inferior.

For a moment, Murong Yue had such a ridiculous idea in her mind: if only the handsome man in front of her was the one introduced by the matchmaker, then she would definitely agree to him without hesitation, even if the final result was to be cheated of money and sex, she would be willing to do it.

Well, the above was just a fleeting thought in her mind. Although she was a firm believer in appearance, she would not exaggerate to this extent.

"Teacher Murong!"

"Matchmaker Jiang!"

The two sides greeted each other and exchanged some pleasantries before calling the waiter in to take their order.

Jiang Feng handed the menu to Murong Yue and said, "Mr. Murong, I don't know much about the food in your D City, so you should order two or three of your more distinctive dishes, and you can order the rest according to your own preferences."

Murong Yue was not polite. She ordered a few dishes without even looking at the menu. After the waiter left the room, she introduced: "The fried oysters, ginger duck, and earthworm jelly we just ordered are all our specialties."

Jiang Feng's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said with a smile: "I haven't eaten these three dishes. Teacher Murong, can you introduce them to me?"

As the saying goes, happiness is better shared than happiness alone. When many people see a wonderfully written novel, they can't help but recommend it to friends who have the same hobby. The same is true for food. When many people taste a certain food, they can't help but recommend it to relatives and friends.

Especially when talking about their hometown cuisine with outsiders, many people can't help but introduce the most famous and distinctive cuisine of their hometown to outsiders.

Murong Yue was no exception. Seeing that Jiang Matchmaker from Guangxi Province was interested in their local specialties, she said with great interest, "Okay, then I'll introduce it to you, Jiang Matchmaker. People here like to eat oysters. There are many ways to cook oysters, and frying oysters is one of them.

Oyster omelette is made by selecting fresh and plump oysters, washing the oysters to remove the mud and sand, mixing them with green garlic sprouts, sauce and sweet potato starch, pouring them into the pan and frying them until browned, and finally adding beaten eggs.

The oyster pancake made in this way has a crispy texture and a smooth filling. It is one of the local delicacies that foreign tourists must order when they visit our city D.”

Jiang Feng smiled and said, "That sounds good. I'll have to try it later."

Murong Yue smiled slightly and continued to introduce: "Ginger duck is also a specialty here. I won't introduce the specific method. In short, the finished dish is attractive in appearance, fragrant, delicious, and nutritious. In particular, the ginger slices are definitely its soul. The taste is very unique. You will know what I said after you try it later."

Jiang Feng nodded and said, "Any dish that can become a recognized specialty of a place must have its own unique features. This ginger duck has been praised so highly by Teacher Murong, so the taste must be unique and worth looking forward to."

Murong Yue continued to introduce with great interest: "Among the three special dishes I ordered just now, whether it is the fried oysters or the ginger duck, they are very popular with a wide audience, but the earthworm jelly I am going to talk about next, some diners can't accept it. I don't know if you, Matchmaker Jiang, like it."

Jiang Feng smiled and said, "I can accept normal food except for those extreme dishes. Is this bamboo shoot jelly a dish related to bamboo shoots?"

Murong Yue smiled and said, "I knew you would say that, Matchmaker Jiang. When many people heard the name, they thought this dish was related to bamboo shoots, but it's not.

The earthworm, also known as the painted bamboo shoot, grows in sand holes on the beach. It looks like an earthworm and belongs to the phylum Siegesporia. Its scientific name is Siegesporium ediblerum.

It contains gelatin, is two or three inches long, has a rough appearance, and is dark brown in color. The thickest one is like an index finger, and the thinnest one is like a rice stem, about the length of a thumb, with a "tail" that is one or two inches long, as thin as a matchstick, and can be stretched freely. Tushun jelly is a frozen product made from it, and it is a favorite local delicacy. "

Jiang Feng was surprised and said, "This is really an eye-opener. It turns out that this thing is actually seafood. Who gave it such a name? It is really easy to be misunderstood."

Murong Yue smiled and said, "The earliest written record of earthworm jelly is in the book "Min Xiaoji" written by Zhou Lianggong in the Qing Dynasty. He wrote in the book: I often eat earthworm jelly in Fujian. It tastes very fresh and exotic. But I heard that it grows on the seashore and looks like an earthworm. I never know what it looks like.

Later I read the Ningbo Chronicles and found that shadu is a lump of thing like the intestines of cows and horses, with a head about five or six inches long, fat and soft like a water bug, without a head or eyes, no skin or bones, but able to wriggle. It shrinks when touched and is as small as a peach or chestnut, then slowly becomes swollen again. It has a fishy smell and tastes crispy and delicious when cooked with five kinds of spicy food. Then I realized that what I had eaten was shadu. People in Fujian mistakenly call it bamboo shoots. My relative has fat but boneless ones, so he called them shadu.

At first, the crowd was puzzled, but later they saw this as a hidden joke. Sand garlic is very cold in nature, and eating too much can cause diarrhea. Xie Zaihang made mud bamboo shoots, and people in Yueqing called it sand garlic. "

Jiang Feng praised: "Teacher Murong, your literary skills are really amazing. You are worthy of being a Chinese teacher. You can even recite such a record casually."

Murong Yue waved her hand and said, "Mr. Jiang, you are too kind. My literary skills are not that great. I just love eating this earthworm jelly, so I looked up its information and remembered it so clearly."

Jiang Feng smiled and said, "That's pretty impressive too!"

Next, Murong Yue, who was in a talkative mood, talked about the interesting incident that happened two years ago when her college classmates came here for tourism and she recommended them to eat earthworm jelly, but no one dared to eat it.

After the waiter brought the dish, Jiang Feng looked at the earthworm jelly which seemed a bit "scary" to most people. Under Murong Yue's gaze, he took a bite without changing his expression.

Then, while tasting it carefully, he praised: "It tastes as smooth as jelly, and the earthworms inside are refreshing and crispy, with a unique flavor. No wonder you, Teacher Murong, recommend it so much, it's really a rare delicacy!"

Murong Yue asked curiously, "Matchmaker Jiang, I see you eat without any hesitation. Is this dish really not a food barrier for you?"

Jiang Feng said with a smile: "Teacher Murong, this dish may be a dietary barrier for many inland tourists, but our Guangxi Province is also a coastal province. I have eaten a lot of seafood such as sandworms and mudworms, and they all taste very delicious. The earthworms here are really not a dietary barrier for me."

Murong Yue suddenly realized: "So that's it!"

After that, the two of them focused on the food. When they were almost done eating, Murong Yue took the initiative to ask, "Matchmaker Jiang, you called me before and said you would help me find someone and introduce me to someone. Now that we're almost done eating, can you tell me who you want to introduce me to?"

Jiang Feng put down his chopsticks, took a sip of tea and said, "The person I want to introduce to you is from Zhonghai, 21 years old, 1.78 meters tall..."

Hearing this, Murong Yue's expression froze for a moment, and she quickly interrupted, "Matchmaker Jiang, are you kidding me? You want to introduce me to a person who is only 21 years old?"

Jiang Feng smiled and said, "Teacher Murong, there is only a five-year age difference between you two. This age difference shouldn't be a big deal in this era, right?"

Murong Yue frowned and said, "Matchmaker Jiang, if he was five years older than me, it would be normal. But now I am five years older than him, which is a little abnormal. If it gets out and other people know about it, they will say that I am an old cow eating young grass!"

Jiang Feng said, "Mr. Murong, you are worrying too much. Nowadays, it is common for women to be three to five years older than men. Besides, if you can find a husband who is a few years younger than you, others will envy you when they know about it, but they will never laugh at you for being an old cow eating young grass."

Murong Yue still had concerns in her heart and said, "Matchmaker Jiang, if I were in another profession, I wouldn't be afraid of being laughed at by others. The key is that I am a teacher. If I find a partner so young, people who don't know the truth will think that I am in a teacher-student relationship! What a bad influence this will have!"

Jiang Feng smiled and said, "Teacher Murong, you two are only five years apart in age, not more than ten or twenty years apart. When you two stand together, you are a perfect match, a talented man and a beautiful woman.

If you are really worried about people gossiping, then why don't you just not make your age difference public when you are together? Anyway, you can't tell your age difference just by looking at it from the outside."

Murong Yue felt relieved after hearing this, and then asked, "Matchmaker Jiang, I have a question. He hasn't even reached the age required for marriage registration, so why is he in such a hurry to ask a matchmaker to introduce him to someone? And according to the normal school age, he should still be in school, right?"

Jiang Feng said, "Teacher Murong, you are right. He is indeed still studying. He is currently studying in Tokyo, Japan, and will graduate next year. The reason why he is so anxious to ask a matchmaker to introduce him to a partner is actually not his own intention, but the idea of ​​his parents."

Murong Yue was surprised and asked, "What did his parents mean? Why? If there is no special reason, his parents would not introduce a marriage partner to him while he is still studying, right?"

"Of course there is a reason."

"What is the reason?"

Jiang Feng didn't mean to keep her in suspense and answered directly: "While he was studying in Japan, he found a Japanese girlfriend and brought her back to meet his parents during the summer vacation.

Although his Japanese girlfriend was an excellent choice in terms of figure and appearance, her identity was strongly opposed by his parents.

In order to win his heart back from that Japanese woman, his mother brought him all the way to my matchmaking agency, hoping that I could introduce him to a suitable partner, and then use this summer vacation to cultivate their relationship and let him completely forget about that Japanese woman. "

Murong Yue didn't expect this to be the reason, and said speechlessly: "Parents don't want their sons to marry Japanese women, I can completely understand this, but there is no need to ask a matchmaker to introduce marriage partners just to break them up!"

Jiang Feng said: "It's mainly because his parents are afraid that he will pretend to agree to break up, but secretly continue to have an affair with that Japanese woman, so they came up with this idea."

Murong Yue shook her head and said, "Matchmaker Jiang, I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you. I don't want to get involved in other people's relationships. Even if I want to find a marriage partner, I want to find someone who is clean in terms of relationships."

"Mr. Murong, I understand your thoughts. The purpose of our Happy Marriage Agency is to help all lovers in the world get married. We never take on jobs that break up other people's relationships."

Jiang Feng looked at Murong Yue and said, "The reason why I took on this client and got involved in other people's feelings this time is also for a special reason."

"What special reason?"

"Because the Japanese girlfriend he found is not an ordinary woman, but a famous minor movie actress. Given the national conditions of our country, it is unrealistic for the two of them to get married, unless he immigrates to Japan and becomes a Japanese citizen."

Murong Yue asked with a puzzled look on her face: "Matchmaker Jiang, I don't quite understand, is there any problem with marrying a small movie actor?"

Jiang Feng coughed twice and explained: "Teacher Murong, the little movie actor I'm talking about here refers to the Japanese n亻尤, do you understand?"

Murong Yue was stunned when she realized what was going on. She shook her head and said, "Matchmaker Jiang, after hearing what you said, I feel that he is really not suitable for me. Anyone who can bring a Japanese girl back to meet his parents must have a bump on his head."

Jiang Feng also agreed with this statement, but as a matchmaker, he certainly couldn't say such a thing, so he could only explain: "Teacher Murong, everyone has advantages and disadvantages. Except for this point, he is still very good in other aspects.

Moreover, his family is very well off. He owns several very good properties in China Overseas and has at least eight-digit savings.

You also know that China Overseas is the financial center of our country. In such a place where every inch of land is valuable, a property with a good location is often worth at least eight figures.

Therefore, their family is truly a billionaire family.”

Murong Yue's breathing became a little heavier when she heard this. She didn't expect that the man introduced to her by the handsome matchmaker would have such a good family background.

This is a billionaire!!!

Don’t be fooled by the fact that people with assets worth hundreds of millions seem to be everywhere now, especially in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen. A random brick can kill several billionaires.

But the value of a billionaire is still very high, and Murong Yue is not a fairy who is not interested in worldly things, so she naturally understands the big difference between having money and having no money.

Not to mention those far away, just look at the colleagues around her, who doesn’t live frugally?

Especially those who are married basically have mortgages and live a very frugal life, one can even say they are stingy. This is also the main reason why there is a rumor in society that teachers are stingy.

There's no way. The money in my wallet is limited. If I'm not stingy, I won't be able to make ends meet.

Of course, there are teachers who live a comfortable life, but in most cases they have the support of their families. If they rely solely on themselves to buy a house and a car and support their family, do you think he (she) can still live a comfortable life?
