Life is a Game

When Wu Minqi came to the back kitchen of Taifeng building with crabs and oranges, he saw Jiang Feng staring at a pot with a tomato in it.

Still a half-baked tomato.

There were also two pots on the two stoves next to Jiang Feng. The water in the pots rolled from time to time, which symbolized that he was about to boil.

"Fengfeng, what are you cooking tomatoes for?" Wu Minqi put the crabs and oranges on the cooking table and asked curiously.

"I'm testing how much energy the water has after boiling," Jiang Feng said.

He is a chef, and what he knows best is the ingredients. Of course, he has to experiment with the ingredients.

Wu Minqi leaned forward, obviously very interested in Jiang Feng's experiment: "Why do you want to do this experiment? Is this the topic of your graduation thesis?"

"No, no." Jiang Feng quickly denied, joking, the topic of his graduation thesis, how could this be the topic of his graduation thesis, the topic of his graduation thesis is...

Hey, what is the topic of his graduation thesis?

Did he start the question?

It seems that I have to discuss with Professor Li about his graduation thesis after a while.

"It was I who came up with a new method of steaming crabs and stuffing oranges." Jiang Feng started his nonsense show time.

"New method?" Wu Minqi trusted Jiang Feng as her boyfriend, and most of the time, she would not doubt what Jiang Feng said. Hearing that Jiang Feng said that he had discovered a new method, Wu Minqi's first reaction was not to think about why Jiang Feng could find a breakthrough in the dishes he studied every time in just a few days, but asked excitedly: "What new method? Is there another way?"

"Braise." Jiang Feng said.

"Steam?" Wu Minqi didn't realize it. She didn't have a grandmother who was good at stewing rice in an earthen stove, and she couldn't think of this method with a short word.

"Do you still remember that I kept telling you that there was a problem with the heat? After I cooked it for my grandpa and the third grandpa this morning, they also felt that there was a problem with the heat. The taste of orange meat and crab meat is not very harmonious. Then the third grandpa suggested I steamed it slowly on a low heat, and I was thinking that the taste of the orange meat might change even if it was steamed on a low heat. Is there a milder method than steaming on a low fire? Then I thought of it Stew, Kiki, I don’t know if you still remember the kind of wood-burning earthen stove in the country. When we cook rice in the country, stewing rice must be the last step. There is no fire in the stove, and the remaining temperature and heat are used to cook The rice is cooked, this step is usually done by my grandma." Jiang Feng has now mastered lying, and can make up all kinds of lies and gossips. Nine out of ten sentences are true and one is false, as long as the most important sentence A lie can tell a perfect lie.

Sure enough, Wu Minqi was fooled into it by Jiang Feng. She listened intently and nodded repeatedly: "I know that kind of earthen stove, and I have used it to cook vegetables. It is very heat-retaining, and it can definitely be used to stew rice."

"It's a pity that we don't have an earthen stove here." Jiang Feng sighed, "Our stove dissipates heat too quickly, and it will cool down in a few minutes after turning off the fire."

"That's why you're here to test the heat of boiling water." Wu Minqi suddenly realized, but she was still a little puzzled, "But oranges made from crabs are steamed. Fengfeng, why are you boiling tomatoes with water?"

Jiang Feng: ...

yeah, what is he doing?

Shouldn't he be steaming a sweet potato or corn or something?

it may be because……

Jiang Feng cast his eyes on the pile of tomatoes beside him.

I haven't had tomato and egg soup for a long time, and I can't help but want to cook a soup when I see tomatoes.

"But Fengfeng, you are still very good. The third grandpa just told you to let you try it with low heat, and you will be able to think of the method of stewing. If it were me, I would never have imagined that you can also use stew to make crab stuffed oranges." Wu Minqi He smiled and praised, "My Fengfeng is the best."

When there were only two of them, Wu Minqi would always exaggerate.

After all, she is also a woman who has watched many idol dramas.

Although Jiang Feng felt that he was very powerful in his heart, he still had to be humble on the surface. After all, what he just said was all lies, and it was impossible for him to think of this method. Master Peng thought of this method, but Jiang Feng couldn't praise Master Peng, so he could only praise Grandma Jiang.

"It's mainly due to my grandma. If my grandma hadn't been cooking stewed rice for so many years to save firewood, I wouldn't have thought of using stewed rice all at once." Jiang Feng said modestly.

Since the place selling oranges is very close, Jiang Weiguo, who has been eavesdropping outside the door, has been back a long time ago: ...

My third brother and I came over in the morning to give you advice and guidance. Wouldn’t it be better than the stewed rice your grandma made for you to save firewood?

Unfilial grandson!

Jiang Weiguo turned around angrily, walked around the lobby of Taifeng Building twice with the orange in his hand, and walked back to the back kitchen expressionlessly under the puzzled eyes of the waiters.

Jiang Feng and Wu Minqi had already taken out the steamer. Jiang Feng was cutting corn and Wu Minqi was washing sweet potatoes.

"Ahem." Jiang Weiguo coughed twice.

Although the cough immediately caught the attention of Jiang Feng and Wu Minqi, Jiang Feng turned around and saw the old man was carrying a bag of oranges, and hurried forward to take the oranges.

"Grandpa, why did you go out to buy oranges all of a sudden? Our family still has a lot of oranges to eat. If you want to eat, I can deliver some to you at night, so you don't need to buy them." Jiang Feng, a filial grandson, said.

"I don't buy all the oranges because of you, an uninspired thing." Jiang Weiguo handed the oranges to Jiang Feng. He was tired from walking with the oranges for so long just now, "Don't you look at the ones you picked? What oranges, do you think picking oranges is a beauty pageant? Whichever looks good is delicious? Whether it is sweet or sour, can the crab-stuffed oranges taste normal? Don’t use those oranges for cooking, save them. Just eat it yourself, if you want to cook, use these oranges I bought for you."

Jiang Feng was stunned, he didn't expect his grandfather to go out to buy oranges just for himself.

"The third grandpa..."

"Your third grandpa went to buy crabs for you." Jiang Weiguo said angrily, "Are you using hairy crabs in the crab stuffed oranges you made today? Do you think that the choice of crabs is to choose fat, and whichever is fat will taste better?"

Jiang Feng:? ? ?

Is not it?

"When your dad comes, I will scold him. How did he teach you? You can't even pick crabs and oranges. Don't you need to know if you don't have these two ingredients in the kitchen? Your grandma has cooked them for you all these years. The stewed rice was really fed into the belly of the pig." Jiang Feng would never guess the real reason why the old man scolded him.

After scolding his grandson, Jiang Weiguo felt a lot better, and began to ask knowingly, "What are you steaming here?"

Jiang Feng quickly told the old man what he had just said to Wu Minqi.

The old man nodded: "The earthen stove is fine, but the gas stove is not tasty."

"I know, so what I think is to simmer first, then simmer, and then simmer. As long as the temperature in the pot is kept at a level that is neither too high nor too low, I think the crab-stuffed orange can be fully flavored. "What Jiang Feng wanted was that the oranges were not ripe.

Hearing what Jiang Feng said, Jiang Weiguo really looked at this grandson with admiration. Not only would he draw inferences from one instance, but he would also adapt to local conditions.

He wouldn't say that he didn't even think of making crab stuffed with oranges by stewing.

Of course, if the old woman cooks a meal in front of him on a whim one day, maybe he can think of it.

Thinking about it this way, Xiaofeng seemed to be right in complimenting the old lady. She is the only one in the entire Jiang family who would stew rice to save firewood. If the old woman hadn't insisted on stewing rice for so many years, no one would have thought of stewing this way.

The old man's mood suddenly became much more comfortable, which can be called quite happy.

When the mood is better, the attitude will naturally be better. Looking at the steamer on the stove, the old man couldn't help but smile, and said: "Then you can continue to think about it, I won't bother you anymore."

Jiang Feng was flattered.

The old man was about to leave, but Wu Minqi suddenly spoke.

"Grandpa Jiang, you just said that Third Grandpa went to buy hairy crabs, right?" Wu Minqi asked.

The old man nodded.

"Did he bring so much cash? Would it be inconvenient to bring so much cash?" Wu Minqi then asked.

Speaking of this old man, he seemed a little proud: "You don't need to bring cash, we will also pay with your young people's mobile phone."

Jiang Feng was startled. He didn't expect the two old men to be so trendy. Just as he was about to blow a wave of rainbow farts at the right time, he heard Wu Minqi's next question.

"Is your WeChat and Alipay tied to a bank card?"

The old man was stunned.

"What bank card?"

Need to bind a bank card? Isn't mobile payment just a scan or a tap?

Isn't that just swiping a card? What is the point of mobile payment?

The old man was hit hard.

"Grandpa, how did you pay?" Jiang Feng also realized that something seemed wrong.

The old man was a little confused, took out his mobile phone and pointed to WeChat: "I gave the mobile phone to the cashier, she clicked on this and paid the money."

"No need to bind a bank card." The old man emphasized.

Jiang Feng seemed to understand.

Although the old man didn't tie up a bank card, he had a lot of money in his balance. When WeChat was able to snatch red envelopes, in order to show the old man and Grandma Jiang that they were filial sons or grandsons, everyone in the Jiang family often sent red envelopes in the WeChat group and said that this red envelope was for grandpa, or this red envelope It's for grandma, let the two old people take it easy.

Over time, the old man and Grandma Jiang never use mobile phones to pay, and the money in their WeChat balance is definitely more than enough to buy an orange. For example, buying oranges is worth buying even durians.

But this does not mean that Jiang Weiming's WeChat and Alipay balances are enough for him to buy hairy crabs.

According to the current price of hairy crabs, the hand speed of grabbing red envelopes with Third Grandpa. Jiang Feng analyzed it calmly, and felt that the third grandpa might be able to buy eight crab legs.

Jiang Feng sighed. He knew that it was time for his wallet to bleed.

Third Grandpa bought the crabs for him, so he should really pay for it.

And Comrade Wang Xiulian will definitely not reimburse him for this money.

I don't know why Comrade Wang Xiulian not only counts her husband's small coffers, but also her own son's small coffers.

"Grandpa is fine. I can transfer the money to third grandpa and he can buy it." Jiang Feng said, took out his mobile phone, and pressed three zeros when transferring money.

On the other side, Jiang Weiming, who knew nothing about it, picked up a large bag of hairy crabs according to the weight he could lift, and handed the mobile phone to the merchant for him to take to pay the bill.

After paying the bill, Jiang Weiming returned the same way with the hairy crabs, and he couldn't help but sigh that the times are really different now, and he doesn't even need to bring cash to pay.

Hey, why does he have so much money in his phone?

Yes, where does the money in the phone come from?

After Jiang Weiming left, the boss who sold aquatic products was still sighing with the people around him: "Let me just say, these old men and women are the richest in the city of Beiping. Look at that old man just now, more than 4,000 yuan without eyes Just blink, like buying a bottle of water."

Others nodded again and again.

"The main reason is that your hairy crabs are expensive."

"Hey, look at what you said, why are my hairy crabs so expensive? My hairy crabs are of good quality! Look at the old man just now, so many companies don't sell them. If you have to come to my house to buy, they don't want cheap ones, just good ones, you know you!"
