Chapter 81 It’s so embarrassing!
"certainly."
Facing the master chef's questioning, Xie Jiaojiao calculated, "One portion of braised pork costs 2 pieces plus one meat ticket, and one portion of sweet and sour spareribs costs 1.5 pieces..."
"A total of 20.8 yuan, and three meat coupons."
As soon as she finished speaking, Xie Jiaojiao had already taken out the correct amount of money from her pocket.
"Master, can you count?"
Xie Jiaojiao's eyes were as bright as stars, and her face was filled with confidence.
The old master counted on his fingers and found the amount to be exactly right.
Suddenly, his expression changed when he looked at Xie Jiaojiao.
He took the money and said, "Girl, have you ever been to school?"
Xie Jiaojiao raised her chin and said crisply, "Graduated from high school!"
If someone else looked at someone with their noses raised like this, they would probably be misunderstood and thought to be looking down on an uncouth person.
But when it appears on Xie Jiaojiao's face, it makes people feel childish, like a child who is pretending to be an adult and waiting to be praised. He is so cute and very likable.
"sharp!"
The old master gave a thumbs up in support.
Xie Jiaojiao felt embarrassed when she was really praised.
She praised back, "Master, you are amazing too! You can cook delicious meals. I can't do that."
The master was happy.
"You haven't even tasted the food I cooked, so how come you think it's delicious?"
Xie Jiaojiao pointed to the sign at the door cleverly and said sweetly, "If the chef wasn't so good, how could he be a chef in a state-owned restaurant?"
"Hahaha."
"You are quite a clever girl."
"Go, find a place to sit, and I'll let you taste Uncle Wang's cooking in a moment."
"Thank you, Uncle Wang."
Looking at Xie Jiaojiao who didn't move her feet after speaking, Wang Wei asked, "What's the matter? Little girl, is there anything else?"
"Uncle Wang, you are amazing. You can even guess this."
Although he knew that Xie Jiaojiao was complimenting him, Wang Wei was still very happy.
No one doesn't like to hear good words.
Especially since Xie Jiaojiao has a pair of clear eyes, when you see her praising others, you don’t feel that she is being perfunctory at all, but that she is sincere.
"Tell me, what's the matter?"
"Uncle Wang, we'll just serve one portion and take the rest home. We still have some shopping to do this afternoon. Could you please wait until we're done and cook the food for us?"
"What's your business, uncle? Just this? No problem."
"Thank you, Uncle Wang." Xie Jiaojiao achieved her goal and narrowed her eyes happily: "Uncle Wang, if you help me, I will treat you to some candy."
After saying that, Xie Jiaojiao didn't wait for Wang Wei to react and ran away with Jiang Ye.
Wang Wei looked at the handful of White Rabbit milk candies on the table, then looked at Xie Jiaojiao who had disappeared, and swallowed the words of refusal that were about to come out of his mouth.
A funny and polite girl.
Wang Wei accepted the candy from Xie Jiaojiao, went back inside, and cut another piece of meat.
It's rare to meet a girl who suits his taste so well. How can he, as an uncle, take advantage of the little girl?
Xie Jiaojiao didn't know what happened afterwards.
She was now sitting on a stool with Jiang Ye, patting her chest and breathing heavily, but her eyes were shining with an expression that showed she was applauding her own wit.
Fortunately, I was not stopped.
Otherwise, she would be taking advantage of Uncle Wang!
Jiang Ye looked at Xie Jiaojiao with gentle eyes and gathered the hair that was scattered around her ears.
His Jiaojiao is so good!
Her world is simple but black and white. If you treat her well, she will treat you sincerely.
Jiang Ye considerately poured a glass of water for Xie Jiaojiao.
"Jiaojiao, come and have a drink of water."
Xie Jiaojiao took the water and drank it in one gulp. The tension she had just felt eased a lot.
"Jiaojiao, I sold my watch for 120 yuan..."
"One hundred and twenty yuan?" Xie Jiaojiao was surprised.
Even though Xie Jiaojiao didn't have much common sense in life, she knew that it was basically impossible to sell old items at the original price.
"Yes, it just so happened that I had a friend who needed it urgently, but he didn't have a ticket, so the price was a bit higher."
After Jiang Ye's explanation, Xie Jiaojiao's doubts disappeared.
"Jiaojiao, I got 120 yuan from selling the watch, and 50 yuan from Jiang Zhu's treatment. Here are 170 yuan for you."
Xie Jiaojiao nodded, but didn't answer.
"You have Huabei! I don't need that."
If these words fell into the ears of Su Yu, who had a strong sense of self-esteem, he would only feel that Xie Jiaojiao looked down on him and humiliated him by giving him money, and in the end he would have no choice but to accept it in humiliation.
But after Jiang Ye heard this, his dark eyes darkened again.
The Yue family is richer than he thought. It seems that he needs to work harder and make more money in the future so that Jiaojiao will not be caught in the middle.
Jiang Ye stuffed the money into Xie Jiaojiao's hand and lied without changing his expression: "In our Jiang family, the wives are the ones who manage the money."
When she heard the word "wife", Xie Jiaojiao blushed, but she didn't push the money back. Instead, she put it in her pocket.
She acted generous and said, "Then if you don't have money in the future, remember to ask me for it."
"Okay, wife."
Xie Jiaojiao moved closer to Jiang Ye shyly. She pinched the soft flesh on Jiang Ye's waist and whispered.
"Don't call me wife outside, call me by my name."
daughter in law?
How embarrassing!
"good!"
"Aye, can you tell me about the situation at home?" Xie Jiaojiao did not forget the business and inquired about the situation of Jiang Ye's family.
These are all necessary when you visit someone for the first time.
The gift was given to the one she loved most, and she was also sweet-talking, so Jiang Ye's family would definitely like her.
With Xie Jiaojiao's generous behavior when buying vegetables just now, Jiang Ye almost guessed Xie Jiaojiao's intention.
He said succinctly, "Grandpa's legs are broken and he lies in bed, he likes to sleep every day; my father broke his hand and he talks a lot; my mother is a little crazy and likes to cook; Jiang Zhu is in poor health and spends most of her time recuperating in bed; Jiang Mei hit her head and is stupid."
Everyone in the Jiang family: "..."
In the end, they are no longer worthy.
"There's nothing they like!"
In short, in one sentence: you don’t have to spend any money in the afternoon!
This is what Jiang Ye meant, but when Xie Jiaojiao heard what Jiang Ye said, her eyes turned red.
She didn't expect that the Jiangye family was so miserable and had such a hard time.
She hugged Jiang Ye: "Aye, you still have me! Things will get better slowly!"
Jiaojiao, I feel sorry for him!
Jiang Ye's heart was touched, and he hugged Xie Jiaojiao tighter.
"It will be fine!" It will definitely be fine!
As long as you are by my side, everything will be fine!
While the two were talking, the food was served one after another.
The aroma of food wafted over, and Xie Jiaojiao's hungry stomach made a rumbling sound at the right time.
There was a faint smile in Jiang Ye's eyes. In the face of Xie Jiaojiao's fierce and threatening gaze that told her not to laugh, he took the blame.
"Jiaojiao, I'm hungry. Shall we eat first?"
"Okay then!" Xie Jiaojiao agreed proudly.
"Our Jiaojiao is so cute."
Jiang Ye rubbed Xie Jiaojiao's little head.
Uncle Wang's cooking skills were very good, and even Xie Jiaojiao, who had a small appetite, ate an extra bowl of rice than usual, but in Jiang Ye's eyes, it was still not enough.
"No, I really can't eat anymore."
Xie Jiaojiao refused with a bitter face.
Seeing that Xie Jiaojiao was not lying, Jiang Ye stopped picking up the food, picked up the leftover rice in Xie Jiaojiao's bowl, and started eating quickly.
Speed sweeps away everything.
Soon, there was still a large amount of food left on the table, which was eaten up by Jiang Ye.
The strong and unignorable gaze behind him made Jiang Ye, who had just finished eating, suddenly realize something. He looked at Xie Jiaojiao in panic.
