At that time, Jiang Gannian was taking Doudou to play in the store, but turtle soup was not suitable for children.
So Jiang Gannian coaxed Doudou and said, "Be good, Doudou. Children can't drink this turtle soup. They have to grow up before they can drink it."
Doudou nodded sensibly, "Well, I'll drink it when I grow up."
But the soup tasted so delicious that you could smell it from far away, and Doudou was drooling with greed.
Finally, Jiang Tiantian saw that Doudou was really greedy, so she found a small bowl and served him two sips of soup for him to taste.
Unexpectedly, Doudou remembered this taste.
The more you can't eat it, the more you miss it.
At this moment, when I saw the little turtle, I thought of turtle soup.
Cha Jiuzhang was very upset and gently scratched Doudou's nose, "You little foodie!"
After saying that, he laughed himself.
He stood up holding Doudou, found an empty small porcelain basin in the yard, and put the little turtle in it.
"Doudou, this is a pet turtle. You can't eat it."
"Just let him play with you."
"good."
Doudou squatted beside the small porcelain basin curiously, watching the little turtle curled up inside, motionless.
I would poke it with my hands from time to time.
Doudou now understood that this turtle was different from the turtle in the turtle soup. This one was much smaller.
I guess there isn't much meat.
So you can’t eat it.
Jiang Gannian has been preparing for today's reunion dinner for a long time, and even specially asked someone to deliver a large basket of fat and meaty hairy crabs.
Wait until other dishes are ready, then boil water in the pot, put in the hairy crabs, add some ginger slices and scallions, and steam over high heat for 15 minutes.
“It’s time to eat!”
After the hairy crabs were out of the pot, uncle Jiang Jianguo brought a large tray of hairy crabs and placed it in the middle of the round table.
Under the soft moonlight, the entire Jiang family began to sit around the big round table, which was filled with a variety of dishes.
"I want to eat spare ribs." The braised spare ribs had been stewed for an entire afternoon, and Doudou was already drooling with greed.
Although some time ago, Doudou was taken by Jiang Gannian to Baiweizhai and became a picky eater.
After returning home, he no longer likes to eat the food his grandmother cooks.
But the spices used in today's pot of braised pork ribs were specially prepared by Jiang Tiantian and Erzhu, who then brought them back from Baiweizhai.
The taste is no different from Baiweizhai.
Lu Yiyun said to her son lovingly, "Be good, Doudou, wait until Grandpa finishes talking, then we'll eat, okay?"
Doudou is a good kid who follows the rules. Hearing this, he nodded sensibly, "Okay, great grandfather, please finish your words quickly."
"Hehehe..." Jiang Gannian looked at the youngsters at the table. Although there were still some shortcomings, he felt comforted.
He laughed out loud, "Okay, listen to Doudou, Grandpa will keep it short."
Jiang Gannian looked at Cha Jiuzhang and said, "Today is the first Mid-Autumn Festival after Tiantian got married. Fortunately, you two are both in Chengdu. I am very happy."
His eyes swept across the table.
"Except for Weimin from the old family, all of you younger generations have already started families."
"The focus of my life from now on will be on my own small family."
"I don't have too many requirements for you. Just work hard, but at home, you must care more about the people around you. Husband and wife support each other. As long as the couple are of one mind, this family will definitely get better and better."
At his age, how much money and power he has is no longer the most important thing.
Having children and grandchildren who are filial, responsible, motivated, healthy, and have a harmonious family is better than anything else.
"Yes, grandpa." All the grandchildren at the table responded.
Jiang Gannian saw Doudou's eyes were almost shining as he stared at the pork ribs, and he laughed out loud, "Okay, let's stop talking, everyone start eating."
"Yeah, spare ribs, Dad, I want spare ribs." Doudou was the first to jump for joy.
Jiang Fengmin amusedly picked up a large pork rib and put it in his bowl. Doudou grabbed it and put it into his mouth.
He rubbed Doudou's little head lovingly, then turned to ask Jiang Tiantian, "How is Baiweizhai's business today?"
The store opened yesterday and many old friends and acquaintances came to support it. He is not sure about the situation today.
"Brother, don't worry, everything is fine. Appointments are almost scheduled for ten days later." Jiang Tiantian responded with a smile.
"That's good. I'll introduce it to more friends later." Jiang Fengmin said with a smile.
"Thank you, big brother." Jiang Tiantian said playfully.
Jiang Limin answered from the side, "Tiantian, can you sell the medicinal wine in your store separately?"
"I live in the county below, and several of my friends want to buy it, but it's too much trouble to go all the way to the city to eat."
"Besides, you have to make an appointment now. By the time it's their turn, I don't know when they will be there."
"Just sell them a few bottles separately."
Jiang Tiantian thought about it. She bought another batch of goods to the store yesterday when it opened, which should be enough for the near future. So she said, "Okay, you can go to the store and get it yourself tomorrow. Just ask Xiao Linzi."
"Oh, okay, thank you Tiantian." Jiang Liming said happily.
He boasted about the benefits of that medicinal wine for a long time.
If I don't let those people taste the sweetness, they will start to suspect that I am lying.
While they were chatting, Cha Jiuzhang next to them was concentrating on peeling hairy crabs.
I watched his hands flying, and he quickly and deftly separated the meat and roe from the crab shell.
Finally, Cha Jiuzhang piled the meat and roe into the crab shell, poured a spoonful of ginger vinegar on it, and put it in the bowl in front of Jiang Tiantian.
“Wow~~~”
Lin Xiaoxi looked at this scene with envy, then turned around and glared at Jiang Liming.
This guy was only concerned with eating. Why didn't he think of peeling a crab for himself?
The elders at the table nodded with satisfaction when they saw this scene.
This kid from the Cha family has quite a keen eye.
If he dares to treat Jiang Tiantian badly, no one at this table will let him go.
Jiang Fengmin was quite smart and noticed his wife Lu Yiyu's eyes looking at him.
He quickly reached out and picked up a hairy crab, turned around and said with a smile, "Wife, you take care of Doudou, I'll peel the crab for you."
Lu Yiyun then turned around with a smile on her face and focused on feeding her son.
Jiang Liming didn't realize anything yet. He just grabbed a hairy crab and put it directly into his mouth, chewing it with a crunching sound.
Lin Xiaoxi stepped on him hard under the table.
“Ahem…”
Jiang Limin spat out the crab shell in his mouth, turned his head and looked at her in confusion, "Xiaoxi, what's wrong?"
Lin Xiaoxi pouted and muttered softly, "Look at Tiantian, she doesn't even have to peel the crabs herself..."
Jiang Liming glanced at Jiang Tiantian in confusion and saw her eating the crab meat in the bowl elegantly.
Next to him, Cha Jiuzhang was still peeling crabs diligently.
I immediately realized it.
He turned around and said flatteringly, "Wife, don't envy others. I will do the same as your husband."
As he spoke, he grabbed a hairy crab and started to tear it apart with great force.
Unfortunately, he was not as dexterous as Cha Jiuzhang, and he tore the crab meat and roe into pieces.
But at least it's edible.
