Back to 90s she just wants to get rich

Chapter 261 260. Receiving Gifts
"Girl Jin?"

"Huh, Aunt Xiaoping? Are you here to see Grandpa Zeng and the others?" Xiang Jin continued to walk into the house while greeting him.

Grandpa Zeng came out and said, "Your Aunt Xiaoping is looking for you."

"Ah? Didn't you answer the phone?" She thought she was answering the phone, so Xiang Jin was taken aback.

Grandpa Zeng said, "No! The phone didn't ring, and no one called."

"Oh," Xiang Jin turned around and asked, "Aunt Xiaoping, what do you want from me?"

Aunt Xiaoping picked up a small plastic bucket from the ground behind her and handed it to Xiang Jin, "Girl Jin, here are a few shrimps and a few fish, you can try them too, my aunt thank you for these two days A little bit of thought about the food that has been taught us to cook since then.”

Xiang Jin hurriedly evaded, "Don't, don't, auntie, don't say that, we are also neighbors in Wantou, and it is only right for neighbors to help each other occasionally, there is no need to be so polite and polite." Besides, so, take the fish and shrimp back to eat by yourself, our family has them.”

Aunt Xiaoping said, "I know that your family has fish, and your grandmothers brought you a big fish, but I am a small fish, which is different from yours. I heard it's called that perch."

"Bass?" Xiang Jin was surprised, "Do we still sell sea bass?"

If it's really bass, then this is a good thing. The grass carp and crucian carp are the most common in their place, or the mullet at the bottom of the mud pit, and the rice field eel and loach, but loach is generally not eaten here. That thing, to be honest, she has been here for so long, she has never seen a bass.

Aunt Xiaoping said, "We don't get this fish in this place, it's the fish in the Miyun Reservoir. The boy in my family had nothing to do two days ago, so he ran to talk to his uncle and other fish in my mother's yard. A few people went fishing together at Miyun Reservoir, where the fish and shrimp were caught and scooped."

"Oh, that's how it is," Xiang Jin nodded, and then said, "Thank you, auntie, I appreciate your kindness, but I can't take the fish and shrimp, so you should take them back. what?"

"Hey, why is this? Girl Jin is looking down on us?"

Xiang Jin was a little dumbfounded, "Auntie, you have misunderstood, I think it is not easy for you to get these fish and shrimp, you should keep them for yourself."

Although she has never been to Miyun Reservoir, she knows that place is at least seventy or eighty kilometers away from their place. They braved the severe cold for several days and nights to get back such a little thing, and finally it was taken away. How embarrassing that she ate it?

Aunt Xiaoping said, "Yes, yes, our family also has them. This time they drove a tractor, brought a few tanks, and brought back a lot of fish and shrimps. My boy brought them back. There are two buckets, but they are also full."

"How many tanks?" Xiang Jin was surprised again, how many fish and shrimps were there?
Aunt Xiaoping said, "Really?"

Then Xiang Jin asked, "Is fishing allowed in Miyun Reservoir?"

Grandpa Zeng said, "It's not allowed, but there are many places that are out of the scenic area, and they all extend to some no-man's lands. In those no-man's lands, even if someone went fishing with a fishing net, no one would know."

"Oh, that's it?" Xiang Jin finally understood.

Grandpa Zeng and Aunt Xiaoping nodded, and then Aunt Xiaoping said, "So girl Jin, you just accept it, huh?"

Xiang Jin said, "There are so many fish and shrimp, can you sell them?"

Aunt Xiaoping said, "It's the Chinese New Year. What people should prepare has already been prepared. How can anyone buy it? Besides, our bucket of fish and shrimp can't be sold for much. I didn't bother to search for that god, so I kept it for myself and distributed it to some people with good relationships in Wantou.

Our family didn't get any good things, like chickens and pork, your family also has them, and there is nothing rare, just this one is sloppy and you can get it. If you don't dislike it, you can accept it. "

Xiang Jin said, "Auntie, what you said is serious. Don't dislike it. It's a good thing. Okay, then I'll accept it. Auntie, thank you all?"

Aunt Xiaoping waved her hand, "Oh, no thanks, no thanks, I wanted to send it to you at noon, but you have two dogs at home, so I was afraid, no, I'll see now When you come to your great-grandfather’s house, I’ll just bring it here for you.”

Xiang Jin smiled, and then Aunt Xiaoping said that she was going back, and Xiang Jin said that she would return the bucket to them after she went back later and poured out the fish and shrimp.

Aunt Xiaoping said that there was no hurry, and that it would not be too late to give it to them when they were free in a few days.

Xiang Jin nodded, and then Grandpa Zeng thanked Aunt Xiaoping, and Aunt Xiaoping said, "Uncle Mingyao, you have a small family, so I gave you a little less, don't you mind?" ?”

Grandpa Zeng smiled generously, "Hey, see what you said, thank you, thank you?"

Aunt Xiaoping waved her hand, and then suggested that they get out those things and eat them earlier, otherwise it would be a pity to freeze to death in the cold weather.

Xiang Jin and Grandpa Zeng nodded.

After she left, Xiang Jin turned around and asked Grandpa Zeng, "Grandpa Zeng, what are you doing right now?"

Grandpa Zeng shook his head, "It's okay, tell me, what do you want me to do?"

Xiang Jin said, "I think this fish is still active, and it can be kept in the water for two or three days, but this gibai shrimp really can't stand it. If there is not enough oxygen, it will die easily, so I want to keep it in the water for two or three days. The shrimp is peeled out and chopped later, let's wrap it into shrimp dumplings."

"Shrimp dumplings?"

Xiang Jin nodded, "Well, make shrimp dumplings! Aren't we going to make dumplings anyway, so we'll use this bag, and we'll make it after dinner."

"Well, okay, then I'll peel them all off."

Xiang Jin casually picked up a shrimp from the bucket, pulled its head and peeled it out, then asked Grandpa Zeng if they had toothpicks at home, Grandpa Zeng said yes, and then turned around and went into the house to get her One came out, and then Xiang Jin demonstrated in front of him, "Pick out the shrimp thread as well." Many people don't have the habit of picking the shrimp thread when they eat shrimp.

Grandpa Zeng nodded, and at this moment, Xiang Jin's mother came, and then Xiang Jin asked her mother to go back and fetch some of the Chengfen and potato starch they had made before. They will make some dumplings later, and by the way Take those perch back too.

Her mother nodded "Oh oh oh", and then asked, "How much do you have to take separately? What do you think is proportional?"

Xiang Jin quickly calculated in his mind, and then said, "Take three catties of clear noodles and one and a half catties of potato starch, put them in separate bags, and bring the measuring cup from our house."

"okay!"

Aunt Xiaoping was walking on the road when she ran into Hu Yulan and her family who were returning home from the cemetery after offering sacrifices to their ancestors.

Based on the principle of politeness, Hu Yulan asked casually, "Where did Aunt Xiaoping come from?"

Aunt Xiaoping said, "Oh, I came out from Uncle Mingyao and the others. Are you returning home after offering sacrifices?"

Hu Yulan and her family nodded, and Hu Yulan's mother-in-law Yang Shuying asked, "Have you made sacrifices?"

Aunt Xiaoping said, "When I get back, I will go to sacrifice."

Yang Shuying nodded, and then everyone walked back together, but at this moment, a sister-in-law from Wantou who was of the same generation as Xiang Jin and the others ran up to Aunt Xiaoping, and immediately asked, "Auntie, how are you doing?" Did she take the things sent to girl Jin?"

Aunt Xiaoping nodded, "I take it, I take it, didn't you see that I came back empty-handed?"

The little aunt was a little embarrassed and said, "I didn't notice your hand."

Yang Shuying and her family of four stopped, and then heard Aunt Xiaoping say again, "That girl was not accepted at first, but she accepted it after I talked about it."

The little aunt said, "Then I'll go back and bring that thing to her?"

Aunt Xiaoping said, "Go, go, she is still at your great-grandpa's house, it seems that they are several families celebrating the New Year together tonight."

The little sister-in-law agreed and said she would go right away.

Yang Shuying and her family frowned, then stopped them and asked again, "Wait a minute, let me ask you, did you all send something to that girl?"

Aunt Xiaoping said, "He taught us so many ways to eat for free, so we should thank him all at once."

The little sister-in-law nodded vigorously.

Then Yang Shuying remained silent, with a thoughtful look on her face.

Then the little sister-in-law and Aunt Xiaoping stopped talking. After all, the gifts are given according to their own wishes. If they talk too much, people may think that they are kidnapping them and follow them to give gifts to Xiang Jin Well, so I followed everyone and continued to move forward silently.

When several families were separated, and only their family was left, Hu Yulan couldn't help but said, "Oh, mom, you said that people in Wantou are sending them away, so why don't our family also share with others?" Send something over there?"

Then she glanced at her man again, carefully observing the expressions on their faces.

Then Yang Shuying had an unhappy expression on her face, "What are you giving away? You can give gifts to others before you earn any money, and you are not afraid of losing money later? If you want to give it away, you have to wait until the store opens next year and make money!"

The people in Wantou are stupid, so are you?It's their business if they want to send it off, why are you going to join in the fun? "

Being scolded so mercilessly by her mother-in-law again, Hu Yulan's heart immediately became unhappy. She looked at her man, and saw that his brows were furrowed deeper than before.

She couldn't help but feel a little speechless and ironic in her heart. With the thoughts and attitudes of the two of them, who would want to have a deep friendship with their family in the future?

Just when she was disappointed with her own man, she heard her man say, "Mom, I don't agree with your statement and idea! It doesn't cost much to send a gift, so why put yourself So stingy? Were they not so stingy when they taught us those things?
We really have to wait for the store to open and make money before giving that gift. At that time, don't say whether it is rare or not, even the people in Wantou will despise and look down on us! "

Hu Yulan was surprised, she looked at her man in disbelief, she thought he and his wife had the same idea, but she didn't expect him to be so sensible this time?
Yang Shuying's complexion turned ugly, and she stared at her son and daughter-in-law with a bad face, "I'm stingy, but you are generous? I don't even think about what I'm doing this for? Two prodigals! "After finishing speaking, he left angrily.

Hu Yulan and her family were left alone, and Hu Yulan couldn't help complaining to her man, Ai Chaocong, "How could your mother be like this? I don't think she wants to let us Life is better!
Alas, I don't understand, they are all your mother's sons, why does she dislike and be so harsh on our room?
Believe it or not, if it was your younger brother, she would have to agree?

With her like this, how can we hold our heads up in this bay in the future? "

The more Ai Chaocong heard her say that, the more unhappy he felt, and the more dissatisfied he was with his mother, the more gloomy his back was when he watched her mother leave, "You Let's find out, what did the people in Wantou give them?"

Hu Yulan was about to nod her head, when little fatty Ai Can said, "You don't need to ask, I know that little Pingpo has a fishy smell on her body, they must have given them fish."

Then Hu Yulan looked at her man, "Then what shall we give?"

Then Ai Chaocong frowned and thought for a while, "Then take our big rooster away."

"What's the big rooster?" Hu Yulan was a little confused, "Your mother will definitely not agree, if the rooster is found missing at that time, she must have something to talk about, it's not good to be noisy during the Chinese New Year. "

Ai Chaocong frowned, he had never felt so much resentment towards his mother at a moment like now, he is the head of the family, but he can't be the master, he has to listen to his mother for everything, let him He was very uncomfortable with being timid and shy about doing everything, so he became more and more determined in his heart. He must open this food shop, and he must open it well to make money. After earning a lot of money, he must take back the right to speak in this family!
Suddenly I heard Hu Yulan say, "Why don't we pick some of the walnuts we beat at home and the oranges on the trees and give them to them. The walnuts have been kept in the cabinet upstairs. Your mother usually picks them up. She doesn't care too much, she can't tell if it's missing a few catties, and the same goes for the oranges on the tree, and she won't grow old if it's missing a dozen or twenty?"

Ai Chaocong thought for a while and then nodded, "Let's just leave it at that. You can ask Ai Can to send it to them later. Mom won't care if the kids don't punch their eyes."

Hu Yulan nodded, "Okay, then I'll prepare that thing when I get a chance, Ai Can, don't tell your grandma about this!"

Ai Chan nodded, "I know, am I stupid? I won't say it because she would scold me and beat me after she said it. Mom, you can just prepare the walnuts later, and I'll pick the oranges, what do you say?" How many have you picked?"

Hu Yulan explained, "Pick fifteen or six, pick the big one, the red one!"

"okay, I get it!"

In this way, Xiang Jin received gifts from some people one after another one after another, causing her, the executive chef, to interrupt her work several times one after another, which made her a little dumbfounded.

However, judging from the things everyone sent, she felt everyone's sincerity, because they all sent things that they didn't have at home.

Someone gave their family a few catties of red dates, someone gave them walnuts and fried peanuts, and some gave them sesame oil and sesame paste, etc., and there was a big pile on Grandma Mo's tea table.

When Ai Can's little fat man came to deliver things to their house, she solemnly stopped him and said, "Ai Can, tell your parents, thank them, huh?"

Fatty Ai Can waved his hand a little embarrassedly, "No, no, but Xiang Jin, and Mingyao Zuzu, don't let my grandma know about this, huh? My grandma said wait for our store I opened it and gave it away, but my parents disagreed, so this matter did not go through my milk."

Xiang Jin frowned slightly, and after pondering for a while, he nodded and said, "Okay, I got it!"

That little fatty Ai Chan immediately smiled, "Then Xiang Jingu, Mingyao Zuzu, I'll go back, huh?"

The two nodded, and Ai Can's little fat man turned around and ran away in a hurry.

Xiang Lan, who had been sitting in the house watching cartoons since Grandpa Zeng and the others came, suddenly said, "You even have to be sneaky to give a gift!"

Seeing her sarcasm, Grandpa Zeng suddenly burst out laughing, and then said to Xiang Jin, "Although Yang Shuying is a bit stingy, she is still developing for the better, isn't she?"

Xiang Jin nodded, and then went back to the kitchen. She quickly made a few dishes, and then divided them into several portions for Grandpa Zeng, Grandma Mo, and Aunt Liao to take to the cemetery. Sacrifice the ancestors and relatives, otherwise it will be inconvenient when it gets dark later.

The three of them nodded, and then went away with firecrackers and wax paper money, leaving Xiang Jin and his mother alone at home.

Yang Juyun asked Xiang Jin, "Girl, are we really not going to visit the graves of the ancestors of Lao Xiang's family this year?"

Looking at her tangled expression, Xiang Jin said, "Let's go tomorrow. Now that we have separated from the old Xiang's family, there is no need to hurry. Anyway, from tomorrow until the end of the Spring Festival, these days are all It belongs to the day when married offspring go to the grave."

Xiang Lan said, "Isn't it too late to go to the grave tomorrow?"

Xiang Jin said, "Tomorrow we will visit all the graves in Wantou, and those from the old Xiang's family will also drop by, and we don't need to prepare tributes and sacrifices, just bring some wax paper money and firecrackers. "

Her mother said, "Oh, if everyone from this side goes up, then your grandfather and his ancestors' incense paper money will not be enough."

Xiang Jin said, "If it's not enough, it's not enough. Then I'll sell some at the canteen on the cliff entrance of the Fan family."

Yang Juyun thought for a while and then nodded.

"Grandpa has been back for several hours. Why hasn't he called yet? Could it be that something happened on the way?" Immediately, Xiang Jin frowned slightly and said worriedly.

Xiang Lan said, "What happened? Grandpa has already arrived home!"

"Did you get a call from him? When did you call?"

Xiang Lan nodded, "That's when, it's been a long time, just before Aunt Xiaoping brought us the fish, he called and said he had arrived home."

Xiang Jin glared at her, "Why didn't you tell me when you answered the phone? It made me worry all afternoon that he would accidentally fall and trip while carrying such a heavy load on his back."

Xiang Lan lowered his head with some excuses, and said in a low voice, "I, I didn't think about it that much. I thought it would be great when he arrived. It's nothing important, so I didn't tell you."

Xiang Jin was speechless staring at her, Yang Juyun reached out and poked her on the forehead, "You know that it makes people worry!"

The little girl lowered her head and said nothing, but her expression was a little aggrieved. Xiang Jin didn't bother to pay attention to her, and turned around to get her food.

They usually go to the graves of their own houses only. If they want to go to outsiders, they usually have a better relationship with other people's houses, so Aunt Liao and Grandpa Zeng came back very quickly.

When he came back, Xiang Jin was cooking cumin mutton. This dish cannot be cooked too early, otherwise it will lose its flavor when it gets cold.

Grandma Mo and Aunt Liao washed their hands to help when they came in, but Xiang Jin felt that she didn't have anything to help here, so she asked them to serve the food.

So a few people went to set the dishes and chopsticks, and those who served the dishes served the dishes. Because Xiang Jin and Xiang Lan couldn't drink, Grandma Mo went to mix the drinks for them.

After a while, a large table of delicious dishes appeared in front of everyone. Grandpa Zeng called everyone to sit down, and then everyone toasted and said blessings to each other, and then began to eat.

Grandpa Zeng is a person who likes spicy food, especially the boiled fish fillet made by Xiang Jin. He said that the meat is not only tender, delicious and smooth, but also has a moderate salty, spicy and spicy taste. In the end, a large pot of fish was eaten by him. People ate more than half of it.

During the meal, everyone was talking and laughing, with enthusiastic and joyful smiles on their faces. It took them almost an hour to finish a meal, but there was not much food left in the end. How much do you order? In addition to a few slices of sausage and half a plate of fried meat with fungus, there are also a few pieces of sweet and sour pork tenderloin, a few pieces of cumin lamb, and probably a bowl of fish head tofu soup. Grandma Mo and Zeng Grandpa said to feed Hucai and Ah Hua with rice.

Hucai heard the joyful wagging of the dog's tail, and the two puppies also wagged their tails when they saw Hucai wagging his tail, which immediately made everyone in the room uncontrollably laugh.

After that, everyone started to clean up the table, and to make food for the dogs, and Xiang Jin called her mother to take the flour and measuring cup she asked her to bring to the kitchen to meet her.

Grandma Mo and Aunt Liao saw that she used a measuring cup, mixed two types of flour, and used boiling water, so they became curious, and Aunt Liao asked, "Girl Jin, what are you doing here?" ah?"

Xiang Jin winked at them and said, "Secret it first, you will find out later."

Grandma Mo said with a smile, "Yo, it's still a secret, all right, all right, then we'll just wait."

Grandma Mo and Aunt Liao walked away, and after the mixture of potato flour and cheng noodles solidified, Xiang Jin asked her mother to save a handful or two of the remaining cheng noodles for rolling out the dough. Pour it all on the operating table not far away, and then pour the starch ball in the basin on the clear surface. After the powder ball is not hot, rub it with your hands to mix the dry and wet parts evenly.Knead into a smooth ball, then cover it with a clean kitchen towel, let it stand for ten to twenty minutes, and then roll it into dumpling wrappers.

At this time, it was getting dark outside, and they heard a dog barking in the direction of their house. Aunt Liao and Grandma Mo were afraid that something might happen to their house, so they asked Xiang Jin and the others to share some dough. Go back and wrap the stuffing, and they will wrap it here themselves.

Xiang Jin's mother was a little sorry, but she was really anxious, so she hesitated, and Xiang Jin said that she would stay and help them pack for a while, and her mother nodded, "Okay, then you stay and help Grandma Mo and you. Aunt Liao and the others?"

Xiang Jin nodded, and then went to grab a lump of noodles, and then went to pick out some stuffing ingredients and gave them to his mother to take back.

Grandma Mo and Aunt Liao saw that the dough and fillings they brought back were at most enough for the three of them to eat for a meal, so they asked them to bring some more home if they wanted to, but Xiang Jin stopped them and said, " Grandma Mo, auntie, that is enough for our family to have a meal tomorrow morning, and we will pack it again tomorrow afternoon. We will go to my grandma’s house the day after tomorrow, and we will bring some for them then.

We don’t give you any new year gifts anymore, it seems that both of you have everything, and you don’t lack anything, so we will give you some dumplings, so you don’t have to argue. "

After hearing this, Grandma Mo and Aunt Liao couldn't help laughing helplessly, "This child, according to what you said, is so strange!"

Xiang Jin put his head in front of them and winked at them, "This dumpling is different, at least not the same as what you usually eat."

Seeing her mysterious appearance, the two of them couldn't help being overjoyed, "Okay, it's different, we'll accept it."

Yang Juyun asked Xiang Lan to go home with her, but Xiang Lan still wanted to watch cartoons there for a while, so he was a little unhappy. Grandpa Zeng and the others told her to watch it here for a while, and talk to her later. The same goes for my sister going back together.

Yang Juyun looked at her eldest daughter, and Xiang Jin nodded at her, "Let her watch for a while, and I will take her back later."

Yang Juyun had no choice but to go back with those things and food for Ah Hua.
