Chapter 96 Feast



Chapter 96 Feast

The pickled vegetable jar that she used to keep clean and tidy now has mold growing on the pickled vegetables inside!

A jar of spicy cucumbers, a jar of hot and sour radishes, and even hot and sour cowpeas that have grown hair!

The red and green ones are still growing hair in such a cold weather. It must be because the chopsticks were not cleaned when picking up the pickles.

Moreover, it was placed outside the kitchen.

When Hang Jingshu was at Yan's house, he would place it close to the kitchen wall, where it was far away from the stove and would not be contaminated by heat.

If stored well, it will definitely last for a long time.

But now, I guess I can’t eat it.

If this were kept at home, Wang Silan would definitely throw away the surface parts and continue eating the rest.

There is no way not to eat!

No one can resist eating cabbage every day.

But this is Yan's home, and these pickled vegetables are just for adding flavor. It's natural that Hang Jingshu would treat this place as the same as his home.

The final destination of these salted vegetables is the trash can.

Hang Jingshu wanted to find the vegetables he had grown, but he couldn't find any after searching the house. However, he saw them at the base of the courtyard wall when he was throwing away the garbage.

All the vegetables in several flower pots were picked out, and one pot was broken into two pieces. Hang Jingshu put all the things away. Although he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, he did not show it on his face.

This is Yan's house. Not to mention the pickle jar, even the soil in the flowerpot belongs to him.

You are just an employee, there is no need to treat everything as your own.

Just make whatever is in the fridge.

However, Yu Lihong still noticed something. The Yan family went out for a walk this morning, and there were only the two of them at home, so it was convenient for them to talk.

"Xiao Hang, don't feel bad. This was caused by the two young people from the Yan family during the Chinese New Year. They will be back at noon today, so don't get into a conflict with them."

After hearing what she said, Hang Jingshu also understood what Yu Lihong meant.

These two young people are probably not easy to mess with.

"It's okay, Sister Hong, I'm fine. I just wanted to fry some bok choy for everyone to clear their mouths. This time it's easy." Now that things have come to this, there's no point in Hang Jingshu complaining. Let's just do what we can!

There are really a lot of good things in the Yan family. Boxes of matsutake mushrooms, monkey heads, hazelnuts, and pine nuts are placed in the kitchen cabinet.

Hang Jingshu even found a pair of deer antlers, two pheasants, a pair of hares, a deer's hind leg, and a roe deer's leg.

There are also several bags of mountain products such as black fungus, pine mushrooms, walnuts, and chestnuts.

There are various seafoods delivered to the refrigerator, including whole yellow croaker, sea bass, and a large box of hairtail.

Scallops, sweet shrimps, and giant prawns bigger than your hands almost filled the refrigerator.

This is really rich.

Even in later times, these things are not cheap New Year's goods, not to mention the wild animals that are no longer allowed to be eaten.

The water in the casserole began to boil. Hang Jingshu gathered his thoughts and continued to prepare lunch.

After looking at the things in the refrigerator, Hang Jingshu adjusted the menu in time, simply ordering a dish of shrimp with vermicelli and garlic sauce, and a dish of steamed pork with rice flour.

First, break off some of the Chinese cabbage to make cabbage, tofu and fish stew, and then pick two cabbages and keep only the cores to make sesame sauce cabbage.

There was no way, the Yan family had no green leafy vegetables left.

Finally, after some searching, Hang Jingshu managed to make a small pickled dish with dried day lily, dried black fungus, some carrots and ham. He also had some dried tofu skin at home, so he added some white sesame seeds.

At least I managed to make a dish of eight-treasure sauce with preserved vegetables.

Grandpa Yan and Grandma Yan both love this.

Hearing from Yu Lihong that not only Yan and Gu were at home, but there were also two extra people, Hang Jingshu cooked some more rice for safety reasons.

When the Yan family came back, Gu Zhengguo had the most sensitive nose and could smell the spicy beef immediately.

Gu Zhengguo spent the New Year at Yan's house again this year. His parents were traveling all over the world and had no time to come back for the New Year.

Since childhood, Gu Zhengguo has spent the New Year at Yan's home.

"Oh, Xiaohang, you're back," Gu Zhengguo rushed to the kitchen as soon as he entered the room. When he reached the door, he caught up with Hang Jingshu pouring hot oil into a porcelain basin.

With a sizzle, the aroma of beef mixed with the fragrance of pepper and chili was overbearing and tempting. Gu Zhengguo had eaten Huaiyang cuisine for two consecutive days and now loved this one.

But in the end, the most popular dishes on the table were still the cabbage with sesame sauce and the small pickled vegetables that Hang Jingshu used to make up the number.

Grandma Yan likes fish porridge and steamed pork with rice flour the most, and she smiles happily while eating them.

The most amazing thing was that her two granddaughters were not picky. This was the most harmonious lunch the Yan family had during the Chinese New Year.

Yan Jingyi is 28 years old this year. She has sharp features and looks like someone who is difficult to talk to.

At first she complained that the rice was too large and the dish presentation was ugly, but once she started eating with chopsticks, she kept silent.

Yan Shiya is more delicate, with almond eyes and pink lips, she looks like a carefree young lady.

When Hang Jingshu brought the fruits to the living room, Yan Shiya was fiddling with her slender and delicate fingers.

Seeing Hang Jingshu approaching, she also became interested and followed Hang Jingshu with her eyes: "Your craftsmanship is pretty good. How old were you when you started working?"

Hang Jingshu replied: "I worked in a hotel when I was in high school."

Yan Shiya frowned slightly when she heard this, her disdain obvious: "Oh, I see."

How boring! You can't even speak nicely!

Hang Jingshu originally didn't want to stay any longer, so he put the fruit plate away and went back to his own room. It would be better to study hard instead of being angry!

They can't stay long anyway.

Hang Jingshu guessed correctly. In the living room, Grandpa Yan was yelling, "It's already the eighth day of the first lunar month. You should go back and hang out with your relatives and friends. Don't stay here all the time. It's not right!"

Yan Jingyi didn't show her expression, still smiling: "Okay, Shiya and I will go back tomorrow, to Liu Xuan's place, but I still need to say something to you, Grandpa."

Grandpa Yan stood still with his cane, looking at his eldest granddaughter with sharp eyes: "I'm retired now, I don't have time to take care of your affairs in the Special Administrative Region. Take the deer antler away tomorrow!"

Yan Shiya couldn't bear to see this and wanted to plead for her sister, so she just opened her mouth and said coquettishly: "Grandpa~"

Old man Yan glanced at him and he dared not move.

The next morning, the two sisters quickly packed up their things and left. Finally, the Yan family finally had some peace and quiet.

Hang Jingshu has also entered the review period. School will start after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and she will have to do a few more sets of papers.

It's true that the Yan family has quieted down, but Qi Shaoming is still lingering around.

My parents have already returned home, and my brother can't always stand guard at the gate of the compound.

Hang Jingshu had to go out to buy groceries every day, and he ran into Qi Shaoming more and more often.

Even Gu Zhengguo noticed something was wrong.

"Anzi, have you noticed that Xiaohang always looks bad these past two days after he came back from going out?"

Yan Chengan calmly turned a page and answered slowly, "I can't see it."

Gu Zhengguo was choked and almost speechless. The more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong, so he simply followed Hang Jingshu out the next day.

As a result, he actually saw a boy holding Xiao Hang!

How can this be possible!

Bullying has arrived at your doorstep!
