Life is a Game

The 16th day of the first lunar month is the day when all employees of Taifeng Building end their annual leave and report to work.

It was also the day when Jiang Feng ended his comfortable and sleep-in vacation and returned to work.

Jiang Feng was woken up by the vibration of his phone.

When I woke up, I was still a little delirious.

Jiang Feng glanced at the phone with half-closed eyes, and found that it was not an alarm clock but a phone call, and he answered it without knowing who the caller was.

"Hello?" Jiang Feng said weakly.

"Master, I bought you breakfast. I'm at the door. I just knocked on the door and no one opened it. Come out and open the door for me!" In stark contrast was Ji Xia's energetic voice.

Jiang Feng was a little dazed. He hung up the phone and lay down on the bed to react for dozens of seconds. He remembered that he did have an apprentice. In order to fulfill Xia Xia's wish, Jiang Feng struggled to get up, put on his pajamas, and went to open the door with a chicken coop on his head.

Ji Xia was waiting outside with a bunch of things in his arms, holding a bag in his hand and carrying two bags, and there were three more bags at his feet.

If these were the breakfasts Ji Xia bought for Jiang Feng, Jiang Feng suspected that Ji Xia might have wrapped up the whole bun shop.

Jiang Feng helped Ji Xia pick up the three bags next to his feet and signaled Ji Xia to come in quickly. As soon as Ji Xia took off his shoes and even had no time to put on his slippers, he carried his things into the kitchen.

"Xia Xia, wear slippers!" Jiang Feng shouted from the door.

Ji Xia could only put down his things and obediently come out to wear slippers, and handed Jiang Feng the pancake fruit that had been hidden in many bags. Jiang Feng was still warm when he took it over.

"When did you and your sister come back?" Jiang Feng glanced at the clock on the wall, it was not yet 7 o'clock. He remembered that last night Ji Yue told him that Ji Xia and Ji Xue were on the train that arrived around four or five o'clock this morning.

"I just came back. It was still dark when we arrived, and there was neither bus nor subway, so my sister and I took a taxi back." Ji Xia said, "Master, taking a taxi is really expensive!"

"When I have money in the future, I will take a taxi every day!"

Jiang Feng:?

Ambitious, but not very environmentally friendly.

"What's in your bag?" Jiang Feng asked.

"These are all things my mother-in-law asked me to bring to you, Master." Ji Xia said, "There are scallops, salted fish, dried shrimp, squid, fish and beef balls, all made by my mother-in-law."

Jiang Feng opened the bag closest to him, and found that the bag was full of dried shrimps. At a glance, he knew that the fresh shrimps were dried and sealed with salt.

Jiang Feng didn't expect Ji Xia to bring himself so many specialties from home when he went home during the Chinese New Year. The first thing he did when he came back was not to go home and sleep, but to help him buy breakfast, and he was so moved that he even wanted to give Ji Xia another red envelope.

Jiang Feng took a bite of the pancake fruit. The skin was thin and the grate inside was crispy. Eggs, tenderloin and fried dough sticks were added. The sauce tasted very familiar, like the pancake fruit from the store he often bought on weekdays.

"Xia Xia, where did you buy these pancakes?" Jiang Feng asked.

"It's the one next to the bean juice stand you used to eat, Master." Ji Xia said.

Jiang Feng took another bite of the pancake fruit and was even more moved.

The pancake and fruit stand was some distance away from the community, and it took at least half an hour to go back and forth. He didn't expect Ji Xia to travel so far just to buy him pancakes and fruit.

"Xia Xia, you must have not slept well after sitting on the train all night. Go up to sleep, and master will take you to eat delicious food at noon." Jiang Feng smiled lovingly.

"Thank you, Master!" Ji Xia was suddenly excited, "Master, I'm not sleepy, my sister and I bought sleeper berths this time, and I slept soundly on the train!"

"By the way, Xia Xia, why did you think of buying pancakes for me?" Jiang Feng asked casually.

"Because I really want to eat pancake fruit. There is no pancake fruit sold at our house. It seems that there is one in the city but not in the county. I wanted to eat it when I got off the train, but I didn't see it at the train station, so After I got back and put my luggage, I went to buy pancakes." Ji Xia said.

Jiang Feng: ...

Your red envelope is gone.

"Okay, go back quickly. I'll ask you to come down and take you to dinner around 11 o'clock." Jiang Feng started to chase people away.

Ji Xia left happily, completely unaware of what he had just lost.

Although the apprentice just bought himself a pancake fruit by the way, but by the way it was considered intentional. What's more, the pancake fruit itself was not at fault. Jiang Feng finished eating the pancake fruit in two or three bites, threw the packaging bag into the trash can, and began to study the special products Ji Xia brought to him from her mother-in-law.

When Jiang Feng was at the door before, he didn't smell the seafood in the bag because he wasn't close enough, and at that time he was a little sleepy, so he went back to sleep and didn't pay attention to it. Now that Ji Xia is gone, he started to study these things, and the unique fishy smell of seafood became obvious.

Because Jiang Feng had been living in an inland city before because of the high price of seafood, he rarely touched seafood. He only came into contact with it frequently after he came to Beiping, but the ones he handled were all live. This kind of dried shrimp and fish after some special treatment Dry is relatively rare.

Jiang Feng broke off the air-dried seafood made by Grandma Ji Xia one by one and tasted it. It was a bit salty, but it was surprisingly good, especially the dried shrimp. When Jiang Feng tasted it, he couldn't hold back and ate one directly. It was very chewy and had a special flavor.

The beef balls were also made by hand. Jiang Feng didn't taste this one but just pinched it with his hands. The fascia of the beef in the beef balls has not been removed, so the meat quality is not so delicate. Making beef balls is a laborious and delicate work. Jiang Feng guessed that the old man didn't have so much energy, so he was lazy and omitted this step.

It can be seen that Granny Ji Xia is a person who is very good at making food and is very fond of making food. It is estimated that she used to be the chef at home. She is versatile and formed with Grandma Jiang who can't make bacon, bacon, pickles and other foods. sharp contrast.

Of course, Jiang Feng didn't mean to dislike his grandma at all, after all, the chive pancakes made by Grandma Jiang were so delicious.

It's just not doing anything on weekdays.

Because no one lived in the house during the Chinese New Year, the refrigerator was also empty. The special products brought by Ji Xia were sorted and put into the refrigerator by Jiang Feng, adding a touch of the sea to the refrigerator, which usually only holds products from the earth and fresh water.

After tidying up the refrigerator, Jiang Feng cleaned the kitchen by the way, checked the seasonings and kitchen utensils, and found a water glass in the cupboard that had been missing for half a year.

After finishing this busy work, Jiang Xiaoran also got up, and began to wash and prepare to pack his things.

"Did someone come before? I vaguely heard something." Jiang Xiaoran asked.

"My apprentice is here, and he brought me some of their specialties. By the way, brother Xiaoran, would you like to take some back? The things are pretty good, and I don't think you can buy them in the market. The shrimp...beef balls are just the same. very nice."

"Ah, thank you, cousin Jiang Feng. If I can be transferred to Beiping on business before May 1st, I'll bring you some salted fish and cured pig's trotters made by my grandmother. Those things can't be kept when it's hot," Jiang Xiaoran said.

"You're welcome." Jiang Feng showed a master lie smile.
