Life is a Game

[A pot of eight-treasure porridge that is close to perfection]

Looking at the pot of porridge in front of him, Jiang Feng could hardly believe his eyes.

Close to perfect!

This was the highest evaluation Jiang Feng had ever received from a game appraisal.

Scooped up a spoonful of boiling eight-treasure porridge and blew on it. Anyway, Jiang Feng wasn't too afraid of being hot, so he ate it.

The scent of sweet-scented osmanthus sugar is relatively simple, but unexpectedly it matches well with the ingredients in this pot of porridge. It is sweet and not greasy. If you come across this mouthful, a spoonful can be tasted for a long time.

When cooking porridge this afternoon, Jiang Feng remembered that Zhang Qian's eight-treasure porridge used honey, so he wanted to try the difference between honey and sugar porridge. In the end, when he was looking for honey, he accidentally found the sweet-scented osmanthus sugar that Jiang Jiankang bought from somewhere.

A pot of honey, a pot of sweet-scented osmanthus, and finally tried this pot of eight-treasure porridge, which was rated as close to perfect.

"Mom, Ji Yue, come and taste this pot of porridge." Jiang Feng called.

As women, Wang Xiulian and Ji Yue have a natural love for sweets. If it wasn't for the fact that eight-treasure porridge is sweet porridge, Comrade Wang Xiulian would not have given her face to drink a small bowl of porridge yesterday. She has always disliked porridge.

Ji Yue came in first and asked, "What's the matter, you cook this pot very well?"

"It's definitely the best porridge you've ever had in your life." Jiang Feng boasted.

"Just blow it up." Ji Yue didn't believe it, and went to get the bowls and chopsticks.

She was afraid of being hot, so she stirred a small bowl of porridge for a long time and blew it again and again. The porridge in the bowl would slide down in large chunks from the edge of the spoon along with the agitation of the spoon. She didn't scoop it up until Wang Xiulian walked in slowly. Take half a spoonful, take a few breaths, and put it in your mouth.

"Damn it." Ji Yue sighed ignorantly.

She loves to drink porridge, and she can even bear 30 cents for a bowl of white porridge in the special canteen with no side dishes in the most difficult time. Although it is mainly because of poverty, it does not affect her basic understanding of food. judge.

Ji Yue felt that Jiang Feng was right, this was really the best porridge she had ever had.

Sweet, fragrant, glutinous, slippery, and many other feelings that can't be described with her Chinese score of 79 in the college entrance examination. In a word, it is just two words.

delicious!

Very extremely and quite delicious!

Ji Yue gulped down the eight-treasure porridge in the bowl, filled another bowl full, and sighed, "You've been blessed, this pot of porridge is so delicious!"

"Is it that delicious?" Comrade Wang Xiulian was a little puzzled. She filled a small half bowl with dignity, blew on it, and swallowed it with the same carelessness as Jiang Feng.

swallow.

Comrade Wang Xiulian picked up the bowl again, put it down, and the bowl was empty.

Without too much words, she went to change to a large bowl.

After gurgling a big bowl, Comrade Wang Xiulian burped contentedly, and boasted, "Xiaofeng, your porridge is really getting better and better."

Jiang Feng said that he could accept all acceptable compliments.

Praise casually, he can accept all kinds of compliments.

When Jiang Jiankang came back from the next door after paying the money and went into the back kitchen, and saw Wang Xiulian and Ji Yue drinking eight-treasure porridge from a bowl that fit their figure, he almost thought he was hallucinating.

"Dad, come and taste this pot of eight-treasure porridge I made, made with sweet-scented osmanthus sugar," Jiang Feng said.

Jiang Jiankang took a sip and his eyes lit up.

"Not bad, the taste of sweet-scented osmanthus goes well with the ingredients in the porridge," Jiang Jiankang boasted.

"Dad, what brand of osmanthus candy did you buy?" Jiang Feng asked. Jiang Jiankang put the osmanthus candy in a jar without a brand.

"What brand?" Jiang Jiankang was troubled, "No brand, I bought it on the side of the road. Didn't I accompany your mother to go shopping when you first started school? On the pedestrian street next to the east gate of the University of Finance and Economics, there is a The old man sells it at a stall, it should be boiled at home, I bought two cans because I thought it was good."

Jiang Feng: ...

I don't know if the organizer allows contestants to bring their own ingredients.

Hey, it's cool to sneak out for a while, the pre-match crematorium. Jiang Feng remembered that someone asked a similar question the day before yesterday, but he slipped away without hearing the answer.

Going outside to call the organizer's staff, Jiang Feng got straight to the point: "Hi, hello, I'm contestant Jiang Feng, I want to ask if you can bring your own ingredients for the 8-in-4 competition?"

"Ah, player Jiang Feng, I'm sorry, for the sake of the fairness of the competition, you can't bring your own ingredients. If you have any needs, you can tell us, and our staff will try their best to meet your requirements." The staff replied.

Jiang Feng was silent for a while, and then said: "I need to add an sweet-scented osmanthus candy to the ingredients. It's not the kind produced by the assembly line. It was sold at a stall on the pedestrian street next to the east gate of the University of Finance and Economics on February 27th." The sweet-scented osmanthus candy is probably made by myself, and it is different from the sweet-scented osmanthus candy in the world. Judging by the quality of that candy, it should have been made around October last year and has been sealed up to this day. I’m not sure if it’s still there..."

Miss staff: "...Okay, I have written down your request, we will try our best to find it, I wish you a happy life."

Jiang Feng always felt that the last sentence was a bit gnashing of teeth.

When Jiang Feng returned to the back kitchen, Wang Xiulian and Jiang Jiankang's eight-treasure porridge in a half-casserole had all gone into the stomachs of Wang Xiulian and Jiang Jiankang. Ji Yue was still not strong enough to fight, and she didn't take the sea bowls, ordinary southern bowls, and she would be full after drinking 3 bowls.

"Aunt Wang, do you want to sell this pot of porridge?" Ji Yue asked.

Wang Xiulian swallowed the porridge in her mouth, and took the time to say: "If you don't sell it or sell it, let's drink it at night. Jiankang, you can fry a few meat dishes tonight, and let's have porridge. Doesn't the sister-in-law always say in the circle of friends?" Well, drinking porridge to detoxify and nourish the skin is good for the intestines and the body."

Jiang Jiankang nodded again and again: "Why don't you call the elder brother, the fourth brother and the fifth brother's family over, and let Xiaofeng cook a few more pots. Dad and uncle went to the park. Our family hasn't had porridge together before!"

"Okay, Xiaofeng, you need to cook a few more pots later, this is what you want." Wang Xiulian thought it was reasonable, and then thought of something else, and asked with a bowl: "Second brother, have the demolition funds for their house been settled? The pharmacy next door has already been renovated."

"It's solved, it's solved." Jiang Jiankang said, "Second brother said two days ago that it's coming soon, and I think he will be here in May at the latest."

Ji Yue rubbed her stomach, with an expression of resignation and defeat on her face, she put down the bowl helplessly: "No, no, I really can't drink anymore. I'll go out for a couple of laps to digest food, it's killing me."

Jiang Feng was worried that the organizer could not find the osmanthus candy that Jiang Jiankang bought. Seeing that Ji Yue was about to go out, he asked, "Do you know if there is any osmanthus candy in the nearby supermarket?"

"Osmanthus candy? What kind of candy is that?" Ji Yue looked bewildered, "Isn't there a new China Resources Vanguard at the end of the street? You should go there and look for it. There should be some candy."

"I'll go and have a look." Jiang Feng put on his phone and went to the supermarket.
