Chapter 116: No Human Touch
When Jiang Yu took out the chestnuts and persimmons, many people stared at them.
After a while, the aunt came over and said, "Girl, do you want to exchange your chestnuts and persimmons? I'll exchange them with dates."
"Dates?" Jiang Yu took a look.
The aunt opened the bag and said, "Look at my dates, they are big and sweet, try them. Go home and take these dates to make a date chestnut cake, it's delicious."
Jiang Yu took the dates and tasted it, it was indeed sweet.
But she was more interested in the date chestnut cake.
"Auntie, how do you make this date chestnut cake?"
She had never heard of it before.
The aunt was also enthusiastic. Seeing that she was interested, she explained the method to her in detail.
Jiang Yu took three pounds of chestnuts and three large tomatoes, and exchanged them for two pounds of red dates, intending to go home and try making this red date chestnut cake.
Back in the city, Jiang Yu took Jiang Ye and carried large and small bags home.
Fortunately, there was a bicycle, otherwise it would be really tiring.
"Jiang Yu, are you going back to your mother's house? Why do I think you are going to buy goods!" Xu Lihua shouted.
Jiang Yu immediately denied: "Aunt Xu, don't talk nonsense. We can't engage in speculation now. What goods would I buy?"
Xu Lihua walked down the steps and stared.
"Hey! How come there are three chickens! Didn't they say there were two hens?"
Jiang Yu raised the corners of his lips, "I'm lucky, I picked up a pheasant and a rabbit in the mountains."
"And a rabbit?" Xu Lihua was dumbfounded, "Where is it? Let me see!"
Jiang Yu ignored her, "Aunt Xu, I'm busy, let's talk later!"
She took Jiang Ye into the house, closed the door and put down the things, then hurriedly drank two large glasses of water.
At this time, He Tingyue had just finished his meal with his three younger brothers and sisters. Seeing Jiang Yu like this, he felt so distressed.
"Drink slowly, it's not good for your stomach."
Jiang Yu was so tired that he sat down on the steps and pointed at the things on the ground.
"I don't have the strength anymore, you can see for yourselves."
He Feiyan and her two younger brothers and sisters could no longer sit still, so they ran out and looked through the things Jiang Yu brought back.
They heard Xu Lihua's loud voice talking about pheasants and rabbits in the house. When they got closer, they realized how fat they were.
The three of them gulped at the same time and swallowed their saliva.
This is all meat!
He Lilan licked her lips, "Sister-in-law, there is still a chicken that has not been eaten!"
They still had lunch in the cafeteria today. Jiang Yu was not at home, and He Tingyue was not in the mood to cook.
As a result, the chicken brought back yesterday was still alive and kicking today.
Jiang Yu leaned on He Tingyue and let him rub his shoulders.
"Well, let's eat meat tonight and see what to eat first."
Anyway, they are still alive and can be kept.
He Feiyan and He Lilan cheered, and the two sisters jumped up with joy.
He Zhengdong has an awkward personality, but he still looks very happy.
"Zhengdong, Lilan, you two should pour out the mushrooms in the basket. I picked a lot of matsutake mushrooms. We need to spread them out to dry, otherwise they will get stale."
Picking matsutake mushrooms is not laborious, but it is hard to see.
He Feiyan's eyes are full of admiration, "Sister-in-law, you are so amazing!"
Jiang Yu was a little embarrassed, "It's not all my credit, there are also A Ye, Liu Zi, and Tie Niu, they all helped a lot."
The three siblings were busy and happy, raising the chickens and rabbits that Jiang Yu brought back in the corner of the yard.
The chestnuts and persimmons were put together with yesterday's, and the matsutake mushrooms, hericium and various other mushrooms were sorted and spread out to dry.
He Tingyue asked, "Have you eaten yet?"
Jiang Ye shook his head, "It's inconvenient to carry so many things."
Jiang Yu raised his head pitifully, "I'm so hungry."
"What do you want to eat? I'll make it for you."
Jiang Yu said, "Just steam some basil and we'll eat it with steamed buns. Those of you who should go to work should go to work, and those who should go to school should go to school. Jiang Ye and I will stay at home and peel the persimmons. We'll take advantage of the good weather these days to dry them and make persimmon cakes."
He Tingyue hurriedly got up and walked into the kitchen, steamed basil for them, and heated up the steamed buns.
In addition, he also made them a tomato egg drop soup.
"Where did you get the tomatoes?" Jiang Yu's eyes lit up.
He Tingyue served her a bowl, "I heard from Sister Lin that there is some, so I bought some with my grocery book, and I'll make you some tomatoes with sugar later."
"Okay."
Jiang Yu and Jiang Ye wolfed down the sausage and steamed bun.
Going up the mountain is a strenuous job, and they were both very hungry.
After eating and drinking, Jiang Yu said, "Is it okay for Jiang Ye to stay at our house tonight? It's just in time for him to report tomorrow."
"Okay, sleep in the same room with Zhengdong."
He looked at the time and stood up.
"Go to school." He also had to go to work.
He Feiyan reluctantly withdrew her gaze, "Sister-in-law, can I take two persimmons to give to my teacher?"
"Sure, take a few more, there are plenty."
He Feiyan shook her head, "No, two will be enough."
He Tingyue followed his three younger brothers and sisters out, and the house became quiet again.
"Aye, go out and get some water, I'll wash these matsutake and hericium."
She put the two kinds of mushrooms away after drying them, and ate the mixed mushrooms first.
When she was washing the mushrooms, many people were staring at her, wondering if Jiang Yu would take some out for them like she did yesterday.
They waited and waited, but Jiang Yu didn't come out.
Xu Lihua went out for several times, and finally couldn't help but walked up to talk to Jiang Yu.
"Hey, this is matsutake, it's really fresh."
Jiang Yu smiled without even raising his head.
"Aunt Xu, these are just picked, they must be fresh."
Xu Lihua looked at them with greedy eyes, "Jiang Yu, why don't you give some to me? I haven't eaten Matsutake for a long time."
Jiang Yu frowned in distress, "Aunt Xu, you're putting me in a difficult position. If I give them to you, should I give them to other people in the compound? If I give them to everyone, I won't have enough to eat even if I give them away myself."
Xu Lihua hurriedly said, "Just give them to me. Why give them to them?"
Jiang Yu shook his head, "I have many children in my family. These are not enough for me to eat. I really can't give them away. If you want them, you can also go to the mountain."
Xu Lihua's face sank, "I'm old and weak, how can I run?"
"Then don't be greedy, Auntie. I'm still busy. I won't keep you." Jiang Yu directly asked to drive the guest away.
Xu Lihua spat and walked away swearing.
You are so stingy! You can't be killed with so many things.
Lin Hongxia sneered, "Old Xu, did you get anything?"
Xu Lihua snorted coldly, "She is getting more and more stingy. Yesterday she had chestnuts, but today she didn't even give us chestnuts! Living next to her is really a shame. She has no human touch at all! Young people nowadays, tut tut, can't do that."
"You don't know, last time I saw the two children of Zhengdong Lilan crying, saying that Jiang Yu made clothes for their brother but not for these two children! I told you, she will definitely not be good to these two children. You never know when she will send them back to their hometown."
