Chapter 407: Grandpa, why are you so unreasonable?
"Then you just wait and see!"
With such family members who were not willing to spoil the fun, his interest in warming the wine was aroused, and he immediately started looking for ingredients to show off his cooking skills to them.
Because Mr. Wen is old and has some heart problems and cannot stand the smell of coal balls, the family uses charcoal for heating in winter, which makes it more convenient to warm the wine.
There was no wire mesh at home, so she used a rack placed over the brazier to boil water. She then went to the kitchen to clean the clay pot for boiling soup, cut some pears and apples, put them in, poured water and boiled them, and took some rock sugar and tea leaves for later use.
Old Master Wen was surprised and asked, "What kind of tea did you make, Jiu? Why did you put apples and pears in it?"
“It’s called fruit tea.”
Wen Jiu smiled and said, "When Jianyan comes back, let him build us a wire mesh. I can barbecue for us in the evening."
“You also know how to grill?”
"Oh my goodness, this is unbelievable." Old Master Wen clapped his hands on his legs and laughed, "My Ah Jiu is so powerful now that even the grandfather dare not recognize him."
"Where did you learn that?"
"Did that kid from the Lu family teach you?"
"Could he be thinking of teaching you how to cook for him?" At this point, the smile on Old Man Wen's face disappeared, as if he would go out and settle the score with Lu Beiye if Wen Jiu dared to say yes.
Wen Jiu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "It's not me. I figured it out by myself. He wouldn't know how to do it."
Master Wen snorted coldly, "I know he's not that smart."
Chu Xiuli came out with breakfast and felt a little helpless when she heard her grandfather's words, "Dad, don't always target that kid A Ye. She is now a member of our family after she married our A Jiu."
How can you keep saying this?
Wouldn't it be painful for him to hear that?
Master Wen said, "Okay, okay, I'll take note and won't tell you again."
But as soon as Chu Xiuli turned around, he lowered his head and muttered quietly, "How can a guy named Lu compare with my precious granddaughter? Isn't it obvious who is far away and who is close?"
"Ajiu, come and eat quickly." Chu Xiuli brought out breakfast and set it aside.
She made radish and lean meat porridge, and paired it with homemade spinach pancakes. The combination alone made people very hungry.
Wen Jiu was stirring his tea! When he heard Chu Xiuli's words, he quickly said, "Okay, I'll come when I'm done with the tea."
The tea is ready.
Just pour it out now.
She didn't pour more tea for fear that it would get cold, and only gave each person half a cup to taste.
"Mom, Grandpa, you try it."
As soon as he held the teacup in his hand, the old man couldn't wait to take a sip. Even though his tongue was numb from the burn, he was still smiling.
“It tastes good.”
"Grandpa likes it."
Chu Xiuli drank more elegantly than her husband, but she also nodded repeatedly, "It's good. Mom has never tasted such a novel tea! You should drink the tea quickly and have dinner quickly. If you delay any longer, the food I just heated up will get cold again."
It’s cold and windy in winter. If you eat too slowly, the first bite will burn your mouth and the last bite will freeze your throat.
"Okay, Mom."
He warmed the wine and blew on the tea. After drinking it, when his throat and mouth felt better, he quickly sat down at the dining table to eat his breakfast.
The porridge and cakes are both good and light.
"Is it enough to eat?"
"If that's not enough, there's still the kitchen."
Chu Xiuli drank tea while paying attention to the warm wine in her breakfast, her eyes full of joy, as if she was looking at some rare treasure.
Wen Jiu quickly said, "That's enough. I can't eat that much in the morning."
"That's good."
"What did you bring back? Do you need my help to clean them up?" Chu Xiuli asked as she looked at the pile of things Wenjiu brought back. She didn't know what Wenjiu was used for so she didn't touch them for fear that he would ruin them.
Speaking of warming the wine, he became excited, and even his eyes and eyebrows revealed pride when he spoke.
"It's for making lanterns."
"I learned this from my sister-in-law in the family compound. We don't need to buy lanterns for the New Year this year. I'll make them for us later."
Old Master Wen was astonished, "Ajiu, you have also learned how to make lanterns, that's amazing."
Chu Xiuli was also surprised. She had already bought the lantern but still didn't stop drinking. She pretended not to have bought any and smiled, "That's great. It saves me from having to buy the lantern."
"Do you need help, Mom?"
"Yes, yes!"
Wen Jiu nodded hurriedly, "I need you to draw an inscription on my lantern."
Chu Xiuli was brought up by Old Madam Chu according to the standards of a lady from a prominent family. She was very good at painting and studying. She was a well-known talented woman at that time. The couplets used by the Wen family during the New Year in recent years were all written by her herself.
"good."
"Then you cut it first, and I'll take it to your father's study to draw later." Chu Xiuli was very happy to hear Wen Jiu say that he would help her, but Old Man Wen was a little disappointed.
Why doesn’t his granddaughter need him?
He asked eagerly, "Ajiu, is there anything I can help you with?"
As soon as Wen Jiu saw the look in Old Man Wen's eyes, he immediately understood what he was thinking.
He quickly said, "Yes, yes, yes."
"Grandpa, can you help me make some paste? Do you know how to make paste?"
“Yes, yes, yes.”
"Ali, please help me get some flour and bring a spoon. Jiu said she wants to make paste!"
"I'll get it to you right away."
Chu Xiuli felt a little amused and helpless when she saw how anxious Old Man Wen was. She quickly stood up and went to the kitchen to get some flour with a spoon, then took out a pair of chopsticks and handed them to him.
Old Master Wen took it, poured some water into it and put it on the charcoal fire to boil, stirring it in circles with chopsticks while boiling. It was done when it became very sticky and sticky to the chopsticks.
This won't take much time.
After seeking help from others where necessary, Wenjiu started to do what he was supposed to do. He first folded the paper and cut it according to size and asked Chu Xiuli to take it to the study to draw and write on it before starting to make the skeleton.
Wen Jianyan was shocked when she saw what was happening. She came up to her and asked with her mouth wide open, "Are you going to change your career and become a bamboo craftsman?"
How come you're so awesome after not seeing you for a few days?
"That's definitely impossible! Do you think I have the talent to be a bamboo craftsman?" Wen Jiu took the opportunity to stuff the bamboo strips into Wen Jinyan's arms.
"You're back just in time. Please help me process these bamboos. Just make them the same as the ones I just made." As she spoke, she took out a piece she had made and gave it to him for comparison and study.
Wen Jinyan shook the bamboo stick in his hand and looked at her in a serious manner, "This is simple, but it's hard for me to do anything for you without any benefit! Even siblings have to settle accounts clearly, right?"
Wen Jiu narrowed his eyes, "What do you want?"
Looking at his expression, it seems that what he is asking of her is a little bit difficult!
Wen Jinyan was just about to speak when he was suddenly slapped in the face by Old Man Wen and was startled.
"Grandpa, why did you hit me?"
Old Master Wen said coldly, "Don't you know why I hit you? You want to trick your sister when you can't handle me?"
“Is that something you can play with?”
Wen Jinyan looked aggrieved, "Grandpa, why are you so unreasonable?"
"Did I say I wanted that?"
After being educated by his family members, he has lost interest in that thing.
