C75 Delicious Food Is Lacking in Seasoning
"Time, in the efforts of memory and reality, ferment happiness. The seasoning that was temporarily lost, became numb in life due to impatience. " - - - A cursive poem.
Because of the river's increasingly clear Resplendence River, the people who had accompanied her for decades were disappointed because of the ever-changing changes in the local land. Tan Ming and her father busied themselves in the middle of the night. They harvested half a bucket of fresh river fish from the frozen river, adding satisfaction and joy to the small farm they borrowed!
"Ming, you and your father both like a pot of fresh fish. But the village moved, and we temporarily borrowed a house to live in. This year, your father went overseas to work. I didn't pickle the salted meat. Look, can you think of a way to buy some? This wild river fish is so good. After stewing it, it can really freshen one's eyebrows!" Happy mother, She used her hand to scoop it into the house and started to jump around in the water. "If I can buy more, that would be even better. Didn't you say. . . Little Si's parents will be rushing back to Dongjiang before New Year's? When the time comes, I'll send them a piece as well. It'll be convenient for them to celebrate the New Year. "
" This. . . Okay, I'll buy it back. " Tan Yin's mind quickly flipped through the existing shops, dishes, and food supply vehicles on Lucky Street. He slightly frowned, but he smiled warmly at his mother, guaranteeing.
"Qingqing, what do you want to eat today? Chinese food? Western food? Mom rarely comes back, I'll make it for you. "
After a few days of winter haze, the morning sun quickly recovered its spirit and sent warm light through the window, creating a safe and comfortable environment, which made the Xia Thorn, who was wrapped in a pillow, even more unwilling to open his eyes.
Feeling her back and butt being lightly patted, her mother's gentle voice kept asking questions. He was slightly irritated and avoided the light. He buried his face deeper into the soft pillow and said, "Up to you. Whatever you do, I'll eat. . . But. . . Do you know how to cook Chinese food? You've been away for so many years. . . Don't make it worse than the food at the snack bar on Happy Street. Then why don't you let me take you and Dad to the north bank chain restaurant to eat breakfast. . . "
Xia Yanju stood at the door of his son's bedroom and shook his head. "How old are you? Do you look like a child? I'm sleeping like a caterpillar. If we get married, will Lina be able to stand him? "
"Hehe, didn't you give him a name? Who do you blame?" Lan Jialin smiled as she walked out and gently closed the door. "Let the child sleep for a while longer. He didn't sleep until two o'clock last night. "
"What is he doing?" Xia Yanju frowned. "It's not like we have a research project to do. Yesterday, Lina called to say hello. She said that the employee was on vacation when they shared the game and that they would start on the fifth day of the new year. He was not busy with his business. Was he playing games?"
"Old Xia!" Lan Jialin blamed him. "Nowadays, almost all children can't leave their phones, internet, and computers. Qingqing has always been very self-controlled! Look at the time when he just left the country, the game lasted all night. But when he starts applying to study, the child immediately turns off his phone. Besides, Doesn't he still have the New City Night Speech to attend to? It's not related to Lina's business. "
"I'm not afraid that he'll damage his body. " Xia Yanju had originally planned to bring Lan Jialin to eat deep-fried dough sticks and soybean milk early in the morning. Yesterday, he had taken a taxi and passed by Lucky Street. Under the illumination of the street lights, he saw the signboard of the restaurant's entrance. His longing for his hometown had turned into a desire for taste buds.
But who knew that Lan Jialing's heart ached for her son and she wanted to make a heart-loving breakfast for him. She could only fulfill her mother's wish first! Who knew how many more chances Qingqing would have to marry in the future? She would surpass her daughter-in-law and have breakfast together with her son?
"Then what does this brat want to eat?"
"He didn't say. . . I was thinking, after he went abroad to study, he always liked western food. Why don't I make a bacon salad and add a cheese tomato omelet?" Lan Jialin pondered carefully, "I made it for you before, you said it was delicious. "
"Okay. . . Then, I'll accompany you to Lucky Street to buy things?" Xia Yanju went downstairs to get dressed. He still wanted to find a chance to buy some deep-fried dough sticks and soybean milk.
"Sure. " Lan Jialing turned around and quietly opened the door to the Summer Thorn Green. She took several pictures of the child who had fallen asleep again - she wanted to take more pictures of her son and upload them to her internet space. The child grew up day by day. Soon, he would get married and have children. This way, there wouldn't be many chances to take pictures of the child and have them stay for the rest of their lives.
"Yiru, why don't you say that there isn't a shop selling seasoning on this Happy Street?"
Although she had worked hard on her way back from the border to the East River, Hu Yangxin had woken up early in the morning. She used the leftover rice from yesterday to cook porridge and dragged her husband to Lucky Street - she hadn't cooked a meal for her child for a few years. It was obvious that Little Zhi had lost a lot of weight, so he had to quickly make some good food for the child. Repairing the body, or else. . . She worked while learning. How could she bear it?
It was close to the New Year. Although Lucky Street had not been completely connected, two-thirds of the road had been cleaned up. The pedestrians on the street were wide, and the evergreen plants and shrubs formed a neat and scattered segregation belt, separating the passing cars and residents. Under the bright sunlight, the entire street and all the pedestrians seemed so bright and happy.
Xin Yilu took the first step onto Lucky Street and let out a satisfied sigh. The shops on both sides of the street were arranged very well: the new architectural style, the height of the store, the wide open room, the bright floor-to-ceiling windows. . . Now, there were only twenty or so shops on the east side, but it could be imagined that. . . How beautiful and lively the street would be in the future!
However, his happiness did not last long before it was affected by Hu Yangxin's anxiety. Looking around, the man who was similarly anxious to make a good meal for his daughter was also fascinated.
"Yeah, Mother Little Zhi, there seems to be no department store or supermarket here. Then, where can we buy cumin powder that is necessary for cooking?"
"Aiya, I forgot that Little Zhi mentioned it before. There is only a 24-hour convenience store here, and both the shopping and supermarket need to take public transport. Go to a place more than ten stops away! " Hu Yangxin was anxious as she continuously hit her husband's back. "It's all your fault. I said I brought cumin, grass fruit, chili noodles, and other seasonings. You said there were too many things, and there was nothing East River couldn't buy. "
"I also didn't expect it to be like this!" Xin Yilu was vexed. "Little Si only said that it's convenient to buy things. At most, we can run farther away. I thought. . . "
"That's because the child is afraid of us worrying! You, you, what do we do now? We won't be able to prepare lunch at noon! "
Hu Yangxin poked her husband's head with her finger, but she heard a polite inquiry from behind her. " Big Sis, may I ask, do you know where we can sell cheese powder and shredded cheese? "
Tan Ming finally bought two pieces of salted meat from a classmate's house in the neighborhood. It was almost the New Year, and all the salted meat was left to prepare New Year's Eve dinner or entertain relatives. Very few people were willing to give it up. The two pieces of salted meat were given to Tan Ming by her classmate, who had helped her earlier on, and had convinced her mother.
Tan Ming relaxed her brows and rode back home on her motorcycle. When they turned from the branch road to Lucky Street, a ray of sunshine joyfully pounced on them, causing the young police officer to squint his eyes and look at the winter fields connected to Lucky Street. However, when he heard the anxious inquiry, he saw two couples dressed differently. They were being watched and searched by shops along the street.
"Do you have anything you need help with?"
"Hey, comrade, may I ask, apart from the 24-hour convenience store, is there any other condiments here? I need cumin and chili noodles. " "I need some cheese and Roller for Western cuisine. "
"These few things. . . I'm afraid we won't be able to buy them in the new city for the time being. I'll give you a map. Later, go to the neighboring community's business store and take a look. " Tan Ming stretched out his hand out of habit. He wanted to take the printed picture from his pocket, but who knew that he would change his clothes?
"Dad, Mom, why did you come out so early in the morning? Didn't you sleep a little longer? " Xinzi held the small pot and jogged over.
"Dad, Mom, didn't you say you were going to prepare breakfast for me? There was nothing on the table. Don't bother, Wang Yao said. I'll bring you guys across the river to eat breakfast. " Summer Thorned Green lowered the window of the sports car.
