Chapter 2076: Getting Even Stronger
Not only did she dig out the memory that was buried in her memory, but she also started drooling at the thought of the taste of pickled ginger.
"You want to eat pickled ginger?" Qiao Dongliang was surprised.
"Well, is it troublesome to make this? Or you can tell me how to make it and I can try it myself?" Since Qiao Nan remembered the taste of pickled ginger, he felt that everything he ate was not very tasty. Spicy food lacked the sourness of pickled ginger, and sour food lacked the spiciness of pickled ginger. The wonderful combination of spicy and sour was only reflected in pickled ginger.
In her life, before she got pregnant, Qiao Nan never thought that she would be the kind of person who would be obsessed with food. But in fact, ever since she had this idea, she even dreamed of the delicious taste she had when she ate her first bite of pickled ginger at the age of five at Qiao's house.
After confirming that his daughter really needed him, Qiao Dongliang straightened his back and said, "Okay, I'll tell you what to do. You can ask Zhai Sheng to write it down for you." That's right, Qiao Dongliang decided that he would go to the market early tomorrow morning and pick out a dozen kilograms of old ginger that was most suitable for making pickled ginger.
Doing it yourself and doing it with others are two completely different things. Qiao Dongliang was worried that the person who made pickled ginger in the Zhai family did not have his own skills.
In fact, the method of pickling ginger is unique to the Qiao family. It is not original, but it is really unique. When Grandma Qiao was still alive, the family was poor, with little food and no vegetables. It just so happened that the ginger planted in the field grew particularly well. The problem is, in an era when there was not enough staple food, who would be willing to spend money on ginger as an ingredient? It was good enough to be full. If you are picky about the taste, you will suffer.
There was no other way. We couldn't waste it, so Grandma Qiao made all the ginger into pickled ginger for her family to eat. It was also a habit she developed at that time. Later, Grandma Qiao would pickle some ginger at home from time to time and eat it as a dish. For Qiao Dongliang, pickled ginger has become a childhood memory.
Of course, the Qiao family's pickled ginger has its own unique craftsmanship. Qiao Dongliang was very clear about these precautions when he was on the phone, but he was afraid that the Zhai family would not do it well. For this reason, Qiao Dongliang thought that he should let the Zhai family make some unauthentic Qiao family pickled ginger first, and let Qiao Nan eat it.
He also helped with the work, and when the pickled ginger was ready, he asked a courier to send it to Qiao Nan. Qiao Dongliang also knew that pickled ginger was cheap, but if it was to be delivered to the capital, the cost of the courier would be several times, or even ten times, more than the cost of pickled ginger flowers. But who made Qiao Nan want to eat it? No matter how much money he spent, it was worth it.
Qiao Dongliang, who was about to become a grandfather, was almost the first person to enter the vegetable market early in the morning except for the vegetable vendors. He bought a lot of ginger and several packets of seasonings.
"Mom, Dad got up very early today. He has been in the kitchen all morning. What is he doing?" Qiao Zijin couldn't help but be curious. She squeezed beside Ding Jiayi and asked, "If he really cooks, it won't take a whole morning, right? Mom, don't you think my dad is very excited today? He keeps humming songs."
So many things have happened in the Qiao family over the past year that Qiao Zijin couldn't remember how long it had been since she last heard Qiao Dongliang humming a song: "Is there anything good happening at home?" Why didn't she listen at all?
Ding Jiayi, who was watching TV, stepped aside and said, "You're hot, what are you doing next to me? Sit by yourself." When he said this, Ding Jiayi didn't even take his eyes off the TV. As for Qiao Zijin's question, Ding Jiayi's words did not solve the problem at all.
After the topic of the 100,000 yuan ended, Qiao Zijin thought that if she left Ding Jiayi alone for a while and ignored her for a while, she would understand and would not mention the 100,000 yuan to her again. She did not mention it again, but Qiao Zijin clearly felt that her mother seemed to be much colder towards her, unlike before. As long as she appeared, her mother's eyes and heart could only accommodate her.
"Mom, are you still angry with me?" If possible, Qiao Zijin didn't want to mention the 100,000 yuan in front of Ding Jiayi. After all, until now, she didn't want to take out 100,000 yuan to save Ding Jiayi's so-called marriage. They are all in their seventies and eighties, and divorce is something that young people do.
Moreover, at this age, whether her parents are divorced or not, like her father, it doesn't make any difference. It's just her mother who is nervous and worried.
Ding Jiayi ate melon seeds and glanced at Qiao Zijin: "I'm angry with you, why should I be angry with you?" Look, she doesn't even dare to mention the words 100,000 yuan. Is this because she is worried that she will ask for it again?
"Mom..." Qiao Zijin called out "Mom" for a long time, and acted like a spoiled child. Undoubtedly, Ding Jiayi used to be the one who was most susceptible to Qiao Zijin's tricks, but now is not the same as before. Ding Jiayi said that this trick is no longer useful to her.
It worked before, because Qiao Zijin used a bunch of fictitious words of filial piety to make Ding Jiayi happy. Ding Jiayi thought that she could live a life like an old lady in the old days by relying on Qiao Zijin as her daughter. So no matter what Qiao Zijin said, Ding Jiayi agreed with it.
But now...
Ding Jiayi took a sip of water to moisten her throat: "I'm your mother, I've always known that if someone heard me yelling, they would think that this Dabai in our house was haunted."
"Mom, why do you suddenly change your attitude towards me?" Ding Jiayi's 180-degree turn made Qiao Zijin unacceptable. It was like a person who was previously obsessed and crazy suddenly woke up and had a completely different attitude: "Mom, you were not like this before. In the past, you always considered me and thought about me. You would not give up anything that was good for me. You would not do anything that was not good for me. Mom, you have changed."
She became selfish, thinking only of herself, and forgot about her daughter!
Last time she asked for 50,000, this time she asked for 100,000, what about next time? Her mother's appetite is getting bigger and bigger, and her mouth is getting bigger and bigger. It's a huge sum of money, but her mother dares to ask her for it. She only has a total of 1.5 million. At this rate, in less than three years, her mother will take it all.
Thinking back to when Qiao Nan was living in this house, Ding Jiayi only asked Qiao Nan for money every month, asking for 10,000 or 20,000 yuan. Things have changed, and when Ding Jiayi's mother asked for money, she asked for 50,000 or 100,000 yuan! Is this considered a habit of exploiting her daughter, and it's getting worse!
