Seaside Inn

Chapter 30

Too

The old man Jiang was a little discouraged for a while, but Jiang Ran could tell that Grandpa really liked Ji Kun.

Not just the old man Jiang, Mrs. Jiang said it was impossible, but she still held some expectations in her heart.

This guy is sloppy, forgetful, always talking nonsense, and I don't know why the two old people like him so much.

Ji Kun's crew went to City D earlier, and they haven't called for several days. Jiang Ran knew from the Weibo of other crew members that in order to catch up with a snowy scene in the script, they were fortunate enough to be able to take shifts , the director and the leading actors have not returned to the hotel for several days. They are all wrapped in coats and bring their own sleeping bags to sleep in temporary prefabricated houses. There is no air conditioner and they are all electric heaters, electric blankets, and warm babies. .

This time Jiang Ran was really distressed, the phone couldn't get through, and she couldn't even send a word of concern.

He had already made up his mind that Ji Kun might not come back, and he started to prepare his luggage and planned to find him after the first day of junior high school.

Unexpectedly, on New Year's Eve, Ji Kun actually came back.

On the early morning of New Year’s Eve, Jiang Ran was wrapped in a down jacket and went out to set off firecrackers. When he opened the door, he saw Ji Kun was reversing the car. At first, he didn’t believe it. Kun!

"You're back!" Jiang Ran rarely showed emotion and stepped forward to hug him. "I thought you weren't coming back!"

Ji Kun said with a smile, "Hurry up and finish filming the scenes in City D, and take three days off."

Jiang Ran frowned, "So short?"

For Jiang Ran, it was of course short. For the crew, three days would cost a lot of money.

"Stop talking, come in quickly, I'll pour you hot water."

Old man Jiang and Mrs. Jiang were also very happy to see Ji Kun, and they greeted Ji Kun to quickly enter the living room, turned on the heater, and asked about his health.

It's rare that Ji Kun didn't complain to the elders, he only said that he was a little busy because of the rush, but other things were fine.

Jiang Ran held a cup of warm brown sugar water, "Warm up after drinking."

After Ji Kun finished drinking the sugar water, he just took the cup away, and the next second there was another bowl in his hand, "I want to eat noodles for the New Year, and the chicken soup that has been stewed all night can make up for it."

In the golden chicken soup are thin white noodles, a big chicken leg, and a big duck egg.

This is their local New Year's custom, and they must eat noodles in the morning.

Ji Kun glanced at the old man Jiang and Mrs. Jiang standing in front of him, and his heart warmed. When he was a child, his mother cooked a bowl of noodles for him during the Chinese New Year.He despises soft noodles and always doesn't like to eat them. After his mother left, he hasn't eaten this bowl of noodles for a long time, and he hasn't tasted the taste of home for a long time.

It was right to rush all the way back.

Ji Kun buried his head in eating the noodles, and there was not even soup base left.

"Go to bed when you're full, and take a good rest these two days, you know?" Old Man Jiang said.

Ji Kun paused and said hoarsely, "I can only stay at home for one day."

Old man Jiang frowned, "Why? Just take a day off?"

Ji Kun shook his head, "I'm going to see my dad, and I'm going to confess to him."

When it was exposed, Mrs. Jiang asked Ji Kun about it, and Ji Kun still remembered it!

Mrs. Jiang said, "There is no rush at this moment, you can go after the New Year when you are free."

Unexpectedly, Ji Kun was very persistent, "No, you must make it clear, the night is long and there are many dreams."

No one can hold back Ji Kun, instead of persuading Ji Kun here, it's better to let him go upstairs to sleep quickly, the dark circles under his eyes are about to catch up with the bamboo-eating creature in the zoo.

Jiang Ran took Ji Kun upstairs, Ji Kun was really tired, before he had time to say a word to Jiang Ran, he kissed him on the forehead and fell asleep, Jiang Ran looked at his embarrassed appearance and rarely cared about his sloppy body.

Jiang Ran took a set of clothes from the closet and put them at the end of the bed, waiting for Ji Kun to get up and change.Then he went downstairs.

Old man Jiang and Mrs. Jiang are already busy. The scent of sweet potatoes steamed in the pot filled the whole kitchen. When the lid was lifted, a cloud of steaming white air scrambled out. Old man Jiang tried it with chopsticks and said, "It's still a little hard. Steam for a while."

Jiang Ran nodded, and took advantage of the space of steaming sweet potatoes to wash the stone mortar.

The stone mortar is placed next to the graphite used to grind soymilk on weekdays. The stone mortar is a bit like an enlarged version of the medicine mortar. A semicircular hole is cut out in the middle of the square stone. If it can be used, it is used for troublesome eating. On weekdays, a board is used. Cover so it doesn't get dirty.

Jiang Ran lifted the lid, rinsed it with water and scalded it with boiling water again, and then felt that it was clean.

In the kitchen, the old man Jiang shouted loudly that Jiang Ran's sweet potatoes had been steamed.

Jiang Ran took out the drawer with gloves and poured it into the stone mortar in the yard. The stone mortar was matched with a wooden hammer. While the sweet potatoes were hot, Jiang Ran held the wooden hammer high in both hands and dropped it heavily.

Hammering the sweet potato into pieces, the old man Jiang stood beside him holding a bag of sweet potato powder, and sprinkled a handful of sweet potato powder into the space where Jiang Ran raised the hammer from time to time.

Sweet potato powder, also known as sweet potato powder, is a good hand to increase the viscosity and elasticity. It is repeatedly beaten with Jiang Ran, and the ripe sweet potato and sweet potato powder are fully fused together. The orange color gradually fades and the volume becomes larger.

In the end, it is enough to make a lump of khaki-yellow dough.

It is almost the same as making glutinous rice cakes.

Jiang Ran took a breath when he put down the hammer, his body was warmed up after surviving this physical strength, he only felt that his hands were a little numb from the shaking.

"Excellence, I can't even do this little physical work." Jiang old man looked at Jiang Ran with disgust, and put the still warm dough on the table. A layer of flour had already climbed on the table, so that the dough would not stick table.

On the other hand, Mrs. Jiang has also fried raw peanuts. Raw peanuts refer to red-skinned peanuts. They are crushed with a rolling pin, and the coat is removed by blowing gently. Jiang Ran liked this step the most when she was a child. When Mrs. Jiang blew, The peanut coat fluttered in the air like snow, and Jiang Ran happily circled inside, shouting, "It's snowing, it's snowing..."

The roasted peanuts are very fragrant and have a burnt smell, Jiang Ran unconsciously grabbed a handful and put it in his mouth, "Grandma, it smells so good!"

Mrs. Jiang smiled and said, "That's right, this year's first peanuts, I'm not even willing to eat them, so I keep them for the New Year!"

The Jiang family also has land, but it is a small acre of land reclaimed behind the village, which is usually managed by Mrs. Jiang, who grow peanuts and sweet potatoes all year round.These two things are easier to grow by the sea.

The first peanut refers to the first wave of peanuts in the field. The peanuts in this time period are the best. The next peanuts are called dark peanuts. It is worth planting when the season is almost over. The growth is uneven, and the peanuts are not round and plump, but wrinkled, and the taste is completely different from the first peanuts. Some people like to eat the first peanuts, such as Jiang Pozi.Some people like to eat dark peanuts, like Old Man Jiang.

"Don't eat it, I told you to eat it, what kind of bag!" Old man Jiang saw that Jiang Ran was eating endlessly, and hit his hand with chopsticks, "Go and chop the green onion."

"Hey."

Stir crushed peanuts, chopped green onion, and sugar with chopsticks, what can you do with things that don’t stick to the horse’s tail?

Cut the sweet potato dough into small pieces, roll a rolling pin into a thin skin, wrap white sugar and crushed peanuts into a moon shape, and then fry them in an oil pan. The earthy yellow skin of sweet potatoes gradually turns golden in the oil pan , crispy.

The sweet potatoes are cooked, and the peanuts are also cooked. They don’t need to be fried for a long time, and they can be out of the pan in a while. Jiang Ran has long been greedy for the semicircle food in the oil pan, but he dare not eat it right away. After waiting for a long time, he can’t wait Twist one up and put it in your mouth, the oil is hot to melt the white granulated sugar into sugar water, the syrup is wrapped with crushed peanuts and the crispy sweet potato skin, it is sweet and delicious.

This is one of the most famous specialties on the island, and it also has a nice name, Forever.

Chinese New Year should be sweet and happy like this.

Jiang Ran ate one after another, and didn't shut up until she got a little tired.

Old man Jiang can eat twenty by himself, but Mrs. Jiang's combat effectiveness is a bit weak, and she stops after eating three or four. She can't eat too greasy food, and she can't sleep at night after eating too much.

This thing tastes best when it is out of the pan. After a long time, the sweet potato skin becomes soft and the sugar water is not hot. It will not be so delicious.

It's a pity that Ji Kun can't eat hot food anymore, he is still sleeping soundly upstairs!

In addition to fried sweet dumplings, there are also fried sea oysters wrapped in flour, Pipi shrimp, small yellow croaker, squid...

The pots are filled to the brim.

After a busy morning, I ate a simple meal at noon, boiled rice noodles with taro.

Jiang Ran set the table and chopsticks and looked up upstairs, not knowing whether to ask him to eat or let him continue to sleep.

Just as he was hesitating, Jiang Ran saw Ji Kun yawning and coming down.

"Don't sleep?"

Ji Kun had already changed into the clothes Jiang Ran had prepared for him, and he yawned twice before saying, "Don't sleep anymore, I can smell it in my dreams, what smells so good?"

Jiang Ran looked at the food at the table, "Then I really don't know what kind of fragrance you are referring to."

Before Ji Kun opened his mouth to speak, his stomach let out an honest 'grunt', so there's no need to say anything now.

Jiang Ran smiled and made him a bowl and called the old man Jiang in the kitchen to serve dinner!

The taro is the taro planted by Jiang Zhiming's wife Zhang Yan's family, and a basket was specially sent.This kind of taro is different from the variety sold in the supermarket. The taro in the supermarket is big and soft when cooked. This kind of taro is grown in the local area.

Jiang Ran, like the old man Jiang, loves to eat taro. Don't look too much at a whole basket of taro. If you peel off the skin, half of it will be lost. If you put it in the refrigerator to freeze, fried, boiled, or fried, half will be gone in the blink of an eye.

Ji Kun doesn't like taro very much. He likes rice noodles more than taro. After eating the rice noodles, he puts the sweet dumplings in front of him, one bite at a time, and he doesn't get tired of it after half a bowl.

That's right, he, a snack maniac, has a very sweet taste.

After he finished eating all the sweet dumplings in the basin, he burped loudly and rubbed his stomach, "I'm so full."

"Why doesn't the boss pay for the meal?" Jiang old man felt distressed when he heard it. "You said that donkeys are required to work without giving them grass. Isn't this the old landlord?"

Ji*former landlord*kun nodded in agreement, "No, Grandpa, you don't know, since I've eaten the food you cook, I can't even eat the food outside, the food made by the crew is too bad, I still eat it I've been to Shizi."

"That's right, I was the one who taught the head chef of Junwei Restaurant!" The old man Jiang said triumphantly, "Where did you hire a cook who can put stones in it for cooking? It's impossible for me to teach such an apprentice." Pull it out and beat it."

Ji Kun nodded again and again, "It's not..."

Jiang Ran glanced at Ji Kun, who was talking eloquently beside him, and secretly thought that he started to talk glibly again, why did Grandpa just like him.

After the meal, Ji Kun was urged to go to bed by Mrs. Jiang, not only him, but all of them had to go to bed, otherwise the vigil at night would be difficult.

Jiang's family has a small population and no children, so they can't be lively if they want to.

As soon as the two of them entered the door, Ji Kun pulled Jiang Ran onto the bed, and Jiang Ran slapped him, "You pervert are reincarnated!"

"I miss you, I miss you every night." Ji Kun leaned down and bit his ear, saying that he didn't stop working.

.....

After the beauty in the room passed, Jiang Ran leaned on Ji Kun's arm and said, "It's cold in D city, are you freezing?"

Ji Kun said, "Frozen me? Just kidding, I'm in great shape. Winter swimming and fruit* running are not a problem."

In fact, he caught a cold just half a month after he arrived in City D, and he had to carry the fever for two days. After that, he drank the cold medicine as water every day to avoid being caught again.

Speaking of cold granules, he has to comment on it, the medicine of conscience is a bit sweet.It's delicious.

"When I go to City S after the next year, it won't be cold there. There are not many scenes in City S, and it will end in a month at most. Then it will be post-editing."

Jiang Ran nodded, "I don't understand anything else, I won't say anything, my body is the capital, pay more attention to your body."

Ji Kun nodded and lowered his head to kiss the forehead of the person in his arms, "I'm going home this time to confess that you don't care?"

"What do you care about?"

"I may be locked up and cut off from the outside world. Or my dad will show up and tell you to leave me."

Jiang Ran chuckled, "If your dad shows up, you'd better bring a check, it doesn't need much, I will definitely accept more than 500 million."

"Fuck, I'm worth 500 million?"

"No, you are worth 100 million, and the IOU says it."

"What about conscience?"

"This kind of thing has to be fed to dogs, isn't it what you said?"

"...you turned bad."

The two of them didn't talk for a long time, Ji Kun fell asleep again, and Jiang Ran slept with him until three o'clock. He wanted to move lightly so as not to disturb Ji Kun, but he didn't expect that Ji Kun's eyes would open as soon as he moved.

"You sleep, I'll go down and prepare for the New Year's Eve dinner."

Ji Kun scratched his hair and sat up, "I'm with you, the New Year's Eve dinner is only delicious when the whole family cooks it together."

Jiang Ran didn't refuse.

In fact, there is nothing to be busy, the dishes have been ordered long ago, wash and cut the vegetables, steam the ones that need to be steamed first, and marinate the ones that need to be marinated first.

Then I sat in the living room and accompanied Mrs. Jiang and Mrs. Jiang to watch the Spring Festival selected sketches from previous years.

These skits are always replayed every year, and I still find it funny every year.

In the evening, Jiang Ran and Ji Kun moved the sofa and placed it on the table, and put on the induction cooker. Their New Year's Eve dinner is hot pot.

In addition to hot pot, there are a few more dishes.

For example, steamed fish means more than every year.

Glutinous rice dumpling, the delegation is round and round.

Fried lotus root clips represent a smooth journey.

Braised pig's trotters and chicken feet represent wealth and wealth.

There is also wolfberry chicken soup, which represents good luck.
