Chapter 73
Chapter 72: Plan to be a big mouse, and I will have no food!
Chu Wei had the same amount of cold rice as before. He dried two steamed buns with pickles and potato shreds in one go, and Luo Jianjia also got two steamed bun skins.
Mr. Zhao and Boss Chu did not like steamed buns so much, they were more interested in shredded carrot cakes.
“Jianjia this cake is really beautiful.” Zhao said, holding up a shredded carrot cake.
The Zhao clan sighed when he was just cooking, and now he praised it again.
Although Boss Chu also likes Luo Jianjia’s food, he is not good at words and will only say it is delicious when he tastes it.
Looking at the crystal-clear shredded carrot cake today, I couldn’t help but boast: “It’s really good-looking. I’ve never seen such food before. How is this done?”
When Chu Weilian heard his parents’ words, he also looked at the cakes on the plate.
Luo Jianjia said: “There are shredded radish inside, with noodles added, and potato starch in addition to the noodles.”
Is it shredded carrot again?
Roche’s tricks are more weird.
Chu Wei Leng thought secretly in his heart.
“Oh, it’s the kind of thing you and your mother did in the daytime?” Although Boss Chu had been smashing the floor, he also saw what the wife and daughter-in-law did.
“Yes.” Luo Jianjia said, “Daddy, you guys quickly try to see if it tastes good, remember to dip it in this ingredient when you eat it.”
“good.”
With that, Mr. Chu and Mr. Zhao sandwiched a carrot cake and dipped it with the dipping sauce next to it.
“This pancake is really elastic.” Zhao cried once again when it was picked up and not eaten. “No wonder the potato shreds are a bit sticky if they are not washed.”
After finishing talking, Zhao’s dipped a little dipping sauce and ate the carrot cake into his mouth.
As soon as he entered, Zhao’s eyes showed a pleasant expression.
After taking one bite, she didn’t have any dipping sauce, and took a second bite. She didn’t speak until the whole shredded carrot cake was eaten.
“This shredded carrot cake is strangely delicious. Not only is it elastic when it is clamped, but it also tastes smooth and tender. It tastes really good,” said Zhao.
Boss Chu nodded in satisfaction: “It’s really delicious, it tastes better when you bite it, especially this dipping sauce, it’s delicious.”
However, Zhao said, “I think it’s delicious without dipping sauce. The dipping sauce tastes a bit stronger, a bit spicy, and delicious.”
Chu Wei Leng is really tired of eating crooked radishes. Today, we made radishes in the camp again, using radish stew.
Something so delicious with meat becomes unsatisfactory even with the smell of radish.
However, the carrot cake made by Roche last night is really delicious, maybe it is delicious today?
Chu Wei Leng was thinking about trying again for a while, when he heard his mother say it was spicy, he couldn’t help holding one.
After taking a bite, he couldn’t stop.
This taste is really amazing, it feels sour, sweet, salty and spicy, the taste is very strong, but it is very fragrant when mixed together.
I don’t know how Roche came up with so many tricks in his mind.
Obviously the radish is exactly the same as the radish in the military camp, but the taste is different.
Yesterday’s carrot cake is different from today’s carrot cake.
He ate three in a row before stopping.
After stopping, there seemed to be the taste of shredded carrot cake in his mouth, especially the taste of the dipping sauce.
There are about twenty on a plate, and the shredded carrot cake is so small that it is not enough for him.
But he could see that his parents like to eat, so he didn’t grab it.
His wife has already come, and there are so many carrots in the kitchen that he will surely be able to eat them in the future.
Moreover, the steamed buns are strangely delicious, and the rest tomorrow will not taste like this.
Thinking of this, Chu Weileng picked up the buns and ate them again. This time, he broke a piece and dipped it with the dipping sauce for the carrot cake.
Not only did Chu Wei Leng notice that his parents liked it, but Zhao and Boss Chu also noticed that he liked it. Two of them supported three, so they stopped eating.
Zhao also put the plate between his son and daughter-in-law.
“Brother Leng Jianjia, you two eat while it’s hot, your father and I have eaten well.”
The family has lived together for so many years, Chu Weilian knew his parents’ appetite, looked at the carrot cake in front of him, and said: “Daddy, you guys have eaten too little, eat two more.”
Zhao quickly refused: “No, no, I and your father have a small meal and are full.”
Chu Weilian didn’t say anything, he just picked up the plate and put it in front of Zhao’s.
“My son likes to eat big steamed buns.” As he said, he took another bite of the steamed buns in his hand.
Zhao wanted to pass the plate over again.
Luo Jianjia looked at the three people who were modest to each other and said: “Mother, you can eat it, this thing is not rare. Blame me, I have done too little, and I will do more tomorrow.”
There is no shortage of radishes at home, and potato starch is made a lot. This thing is not rare.
And the reason why I didn’t do too much was because I was afraid that my family would not be used to it.
Chu Wei Leng also said immediately: “Yes, mother, the big steamed buns just steamed today are the best. My son will eat more. You and dad will eat carrot cakes.”
Seeing that his son and daughter-in-law said so, and the carrot cake is not uncommon, Boss Chu glanced at Zhao and said, “Fuck, let’s put it in the middle, everyone will eat it.”
Zhao looked at his son and then at his husband, and put the plate in the middle.
Chu Weileng picked up his chopsticks and picked two for his parents.
He was originally a family and his son’s filial piety, Zhao did not refuse, and continued to eat carrot cake with a smile.
Luo Jianjia glanced at Chu Weilian, who was immersed in eating steamed buns, and secretly said, Chu Weilian is really a filial person.
After eating, Zhao said, “Jianjia, what if we sell the carrot cakes you made yesterday and today?”
The carrot cake made by my daughter-in-law is really delicious. It is not the same as the normal way of eating, and the radish here is cheap, I guess it can sell a lot.
Luo Jianjia thought about it. Yesterday’s radish cake was relatively simple, but with the addition of eggs. Today’s shredded carrot cake is more complicated, especially with potato starch added to it, which ordinary people can’t make.
Chu Wei Leng has been at the border for a long time, and his taste is similar to that of the people here. If he likes it, it means that there should be a market here.
“It should be no problem.” Luo Jianjia said.
Hearing this, Zhao looked at Boss Chu with a smile.
Boss Chu is obviously very happy to be able to sell new food, but he thinks a little bit more.
“Brother Leng, you are now in official status. Can your mother and I and your cymbal go out to sell food?”
Chu Weilian was thinking about the question his mother asked just now, but his mother didn’t ask him, he asked his wife, so he didn’t have the nerve to interrupt.
Hearing his father say this at this moment, he immediately said: “Of course, the court did not prohibit the officials’ family members from doing business.”
Hearing this answer, Boss Chu and Zhao Shi were slightly startled and glanced at each other.
Elder Chu smiled and said, “Father is afraid of embarrassing you by going out and selling food.”
Zhao’s also looked at his son.
Looking at the eyes of his parents, Chu Wei sneered: “Why? My son has never thought about it like this. How can they be embarrassed because they rely on their own ability to make money?”
After that, he said: “However, my son really doesn’t want you to go out for food.”
Zhao’s heart felt tight and asked: “Why?”
“Mother, my son is now an official, and he has a monthly salary, as well as food and subsidies issued by the court, which are enough to support this family. You and Dad are getting older and not in good health. Therefore, my son hopes that you can raise your body at home. Moreover, it is a blessing for the son to take you over, not to suffer.”
Hearing this, Zhao breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: “You can say this wrong. Years ago, your daughter-in-law took me and your father to the county hospital to find someone to check your body. Tired, it’s better than before. The doctor didn’t prescribe any medicine.”
Chu Weilian focused on going to the hospital, and asked nervously, “Father, mother, are you sick?”
In his concept, he would go to the hospital only when he was sick, so his parents went to the hospital. His first reaction was that they were sick and sick.
Boss Chu and Zhao looked at each other, shook their heads, and said, “No.”
“Why go to the hospital if you are not sick?” Chu Wei asked coldly.
He was still a little worried, afraid that his mother would lie to him.
Zhao smiled and said: “I said the same to your father. I’m fine with your father. There is nothing wrong with it, even the headaches and brain fever are less, why waste the money. It is Jian Jia that he is worried and insists on taking us there. Yes. What are you talking about, is it prevention, Jian Jia?”
Hearing that his parents were not ill, Chu Weilian felt relieved and turned to look at Luo Jianjia.
Seeing everyone’s gaze, Luo Jianjia glanced at Chu Weileng and said: “Yes. If a person is seriously ill, it usually starts from a minor illness. And some diseases just get caught, and you may not be able to find them until you find them again. It’s late. So, it’s best to let the doctor call the pulse every one and a half years to find out the problem in advance and treat it early. This is why I take my parents to check the body.”
Hearing this explanation, Chu Weileng’s eyes towards Luo Jianjia were full of meaning.
He really didn’t expect that Roche would have such a vision, and he would look far ahead.
He used to know that his parents were ill and took them to the doctor in time, but he never thought of going to the doctor regularly.
She was really caring to his parents and took good care of them.
He didn’t marry a wife before, and when he was still with his parents, his parents weren’t that good.
On the contrary, since she started doing business with her father and mother last year, her father and mother’s body gradually improved.
As a son of man, he is inferior to her, and he is very grateful to her.
Seeing his son didn’t speak, Zhao didn’t know what his son was thinking, so he quickly said, “Although the money is spent, there is no money spent in vain. Since knowing that he is not sick and in good health, the mother feels more comfortable in her heart. I’m always afraid that one day I will get seriously ill again.”
Boss Chu also said: “Yes. Knowing that I am not sick, I feel a lot easier on my body. I feel better, and I eat more than before. It’s all the credit of your daughter-in-law.”
Although there was a lot of gratitude for the lady in his heart, Chu Wei Leng felt a little bit sour when he heard his parents’ words.
He didn’t say anything yet, so his parents hurriedly said something nice to his wife.
In the barracks, he heard many people talk about the conflicts between his wife and his mother, and they often bothered them not knowing how to deal with it, but their family didn’t have this trouble. Because his parents are biased, they are biased towards his daughter-in-law.
“The lady is still thoughtful, I never thought of it before, thank you lady.” Chu Wei coldly thanked him.
“Miangong is polite.” Luo Jianjia said politely.
Seeing his son showed his attitude, Zhao continued the topic just now and said: “In fact, my mother thinks it’s good to sell food outside. I have something to do every day, and I can make money. I can talk to more people and listen to the outside world. I feel a lot better.”
Chu Lao Dadao: “I’m really free now, and I don’t know what to do. So, thinking about it with your mother, I’ll continue selling food.”
Boss Zhao and Chu expressed their attitudes.
Zhao smiled and said, “Yes, keep going. When you and Jianjia have a baby, I will stop and watch the baby at home.”
Originally, Boss Chu and Zhao were talking about future plans, and Luo Jianjia still listened very seriously. She didn’t expect that Zhao suddenly changed the conversation and talked about giving birth.
Chu Wei Leng sat beside her, looking at the smile on Zhao’s face, Luo Jianjia was also a little uncomfortable, and his face turned red unconsciously.
Chu Weilian didn’t expect his mother to say such a thing, even though he had a thick skin, he was a little uncomfortable when he saw Roche’s reddish earlobes.
Seeing that young couples are so easy to be shy, Zhao’s heart is more happy, she feels that grandson is not far away.
Boss Chu laughed and said: “Let’s still think about what to sell, whether we still sell the previous things.”
Seeing that everyone stopped talking about the matter just now, Luo Jianjia calmed down and said, “Daddy, we are not in a hurry to do business. The house hasn’t been cleaned up yet, so you can clean up first. Take the time to go out these few days. Look. Look at what is on sale outside, and what the price is, and then find a suitable store.”
Zhao asked in surprise: “Jianjia, do you mean we are going to sell it in the store?”
Luo Jianjia nodded and said, “Yes.”
In any case, now that he has money in his hands, he must rent or buy a shop.
Moreover, Chu Weileng is a seventh-rank official, and he is still very important at the border, unlike before, they are helpless.
There is no need to wind and rain in the shop, no need to pay the so-called “protection fee”, and no need to stop because of rain. This is what Zhao has always wanted.
Whenever she went to the town or the county, she was very envious when she saw the people selling in the shops.
She didn’t expect to be able to open a shop in her own home.
Chu Wei Leng didn’t understand the matter of opening a shop and selling food.
However, he could see that his parents were really happy about going out to sell food.
That kind of happiness is different from the past, and a sense of confidence exudes from him.
He is very pleased that his parents can have such a state, and hope they can maintain it forever.
“If you have a fancy shop, tell me in advance, and I will send someone to inquire about it.” Chu Wei said coldly.
He can’t help other things, this kind of thing is still possible.
“Okay.” Chu boss laughed.
Luo Jianjia also nodded.
She must have told Chu Wei Leng about this kind of thing.
After eating, it was still Chu Wei brushing the pot and washing dishes, and Luo Jianjia cleaned up the hall and kitchen.
Today, there are still a lot of steamed buns and some vegetables left.
Thinking that the shredded carrot cake was gone this morning, Zhao reminded him: “Brother Leng, put the buns higher and fall on the beams of the house, or they will be eaten by rats.”
“Good.” Chu Wei coldly replied.
“The leftover radish cakes yesterday were eaten by mice.” Zhao said again.
Upon hearing this, Chu Wei was taken aback and looked at Zhao’s.
Seeing him, Zhao was stunned, and asked, “What’s wrong?”
Chu Wei pursed his lips coldly, and didn’t know how to tell his mother.
Luo Jianjia glanced at Chu Wei coldly, looked at his hesitant expression, suddenly had a guess.
Is it possible that the carrot cake was not eaten by the mouse, but taken away by Chu Weilian?
Thinking about what I saw in the morning, I felt that it was not impossible. After all, except for the carrot cake, other foods were put there well.
She was a little surprised in the morning.
Seeing his wife also looked over, Chu Wei Leng suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
Obviously it’s not a big deal, just say it clearly.
But looking at Luo Jianjia’s eyes, he thought of saying that he didn’t use her to cook in the morning, he felt like he had done something ugly.
However, he bit his head and said: “Actually, he was taken away by his son.”
“Ah? You took it away?” Zhao didn’t expect it to be like this.
“Ah, yes.”
“What are you doing with that? Isn’t there food in the barracks? The pancakes are cold.” Zhao asked in surprise.
Chu Wei took a cold look at Luo Jianjia, saw that she was still looking at him, coughed lightly, and said cheeky: “Who makes the lady cook so delicious.”
Luo Jianjia:…
So, blame her?
Suddenly a sentence from the Book of Songs popped out of her mind: Shuo Shu Shu Shu, I have no food!
