Ten o'clock in the evening.

Longshan Village.

Jiang Mu and Jiang Xue are preparing drinks and dishes.

The family hasn't been together for a while. Now Jiang Feng has returned from traveling abroad, and his eldest brother Jiang Fei has also returned from the provincial capital, so tonight we will have dinner and a few drinks as a family.

In rural areas, apart from gambling, there are not many entertainment activities. Eating and drinking is the biggest entertainment!

Soon, with the cooperation of Jiang's mother and Jiang Xue's mother and daughter, the dishes to go with the wine were served.

Two of the toughest dishes to go with wine are fried sand worms and fried squid. These are expensive dried seafood products that ordinary people in rural areas cannot see all year round.

The Jiang family's sandworms are all given to customers when they thank matchmakers. The cheapest ones cost seven to eight hundred and one kilogram, and the expensive ones cost more than one thousand and one kilogram. They are all top-quality goods as big as a thumb.

There are basically four ways to make sandworms here in Bailiang County:

The first is steamed, which is usually fresh and can only be eaten in coastal areas. It is almost impossible to eat steamed sandworms elsewhere.

The second is to make soup. Sandworm soup is also famous for its delicious taste. When making soup, you only need to fry the sandworms in oil until they turn brown and change color, then add an appropriate amount of water and cook for ten or eight minutes to get a soup.

A pot of delicious sandworm soup.

If you like, you can add winter melon to make sandworm and winter melon soup, or add vermicelli to make sandworm and vermicelli soup, each of which has its own unique flavor.

The third type is used to stir-fry meat threads. This meat thread is called here in Bailiang County. This dish is a famous dish in Bailiang County and an indispensable dish at banquets.

There are many ways to make this dish, one of which is to use sandworms to enhance the flavor.

The fourth method is to stir-fry directly. You don’t need to add anything. Just pour a large bowl of raw salt into the pot, then add the sandworms and stir-fry over low heat until they turn brown and change color. Then you can take it out of the pot.

This method of frying sandworms with raw salt is not only to facilitate the taste, but also to remove the sand from the sandworms. The taste is really fresh, fragrant and sweet. It is really delicious and is very popular among drinkers.

a dish.

It's a pity that it's a bit expensive, and not many people in rural areas are willing to eat like this.

Squid is also one of the most expensive seafood, and good dried squid costs hundreds of pounds per pound. In Qinghe Town, the favorite way to eat squid is fried squid.

Fried until the heat is just right, then tear the squid into small strips, then dip it in mustard sauce and eat it together. Whoever eats it really knows the taste.

In addition to these two hard dishes, there are also fried peanuts that are essential for drinking, as well as cold cucumber and cold fungus.

When all the dishes were served and the family sat around to start eating, Jiang Feng couldn't help but remind him: "Mom, these fried squid and fried peanuts are the easiest to get angry when eaten. You have to make some herbal tea to drink tomorrow.

That’s all.”

Jiang's mother hummed and said, "I'll cook it early tomorrow morning, and you can drink it when you get up!"

Jiang Xue was tearing the fried dough sticks into pieces while answering: "Speaking of getting angry, I really envy the northerners. They eat fried dough sticks every day and don't take it seriously. There is no such thing as getting angry. It's not like those here.

People who eat fried dough sticks for three days in a row and don’t drink herbal tea will wait for their gums to swell or develop ulcers!”

Jiang Feng poured the wine and said with a smile: "This is determined by the region and climate. Sister, you have stayed in Hubei Province for so long, so you should be able to feel the difference, right?"

Jiang Xue quickly tore up the yuyu in her hand, nodded and said, "You can definitely feel the difference. I ate hot food as much as I wanted in Hubei Province, and I never got angry."

Jiang's father said: "If you are afraid of getting angry, you don't have to wait to make herbal tea tomorrow. It's the fastest to just drink the 'Diaodan Bamboo Water'. Do you want it? If so, I'll go and make it for you!"

Jiang Feng smiled and said: "Dad, don't bother me. Mom can make herbal tea tomorrow. This fried squid must be eaten while it's hot. Don't talk so much, just start eating!"

As he said that, he took the lead in picking up a small strip, dipped it in mustard sauce, put it in his mouth and started chewing it.

While eating, he praised: "You really get what you pay for. This squid is big and thick, and it tastes ten times better than those thin squid."

At this time, Jiang's father also ate it and agreed: "It's really delicious. It has the unique sweetness of seafood when you chew it."

Jiang Fei had a special liking for fried sandworms. He took a browned sandworm and tasted it carefully. He found that the more he chewed, the more fragrant it became, and he felt like he couldn't stop eating it.

The family just drank wine and ate top-notch delicacies that ordinary rural people couldn't eat once a year.

After eating and drinking for a few mouthfuls, Jiang Feng looked at his elder brother and asked, "Brother, what was the result of your visit to the provincial capital this time to see Dr. Zhang? Did you take the opportunity to capture her?"

Jiang Fei chuckled and said, "I confessed my love to her, and she has agreed to be my girlfriend!"

Jiang Xue said in surprise: "Brother, you are so awesome, aren't you? We only met for a few days and you really managed to win over your prospective sister-in-law?"

Jiang Feng smiled and said: "Sister, although the eldest brother has only met his sister-in-law-to-be for a few days, they have been chatting on WeChat for more than two months, and they often video chat. The relationship has already reached a critical point. It would be great if we met and became boyfriend and girlfriend.

It’s a matter of course.”

Jiang Xue said: "My sister-in-law-to-be's family has such good conditions, and she is so good herself. It takes more than two months for my eldest brother to win over my sister-in-law-to-be. It feels very impressive."

Jiang Fei smiled proudly and said: "The main reason is that Xiaofeng introduced me well. She is really destined to me. Our three views are basically the same and we have the same views on many things. That's why the relationship progresses so smoothly."

Hearing this, Jiang's mother said: "Now the house at home has been built to the second floor. In about half a month, the main building will be completed. The next step is decoration and greening. I will definitely be able to move in before the year."

!

At that time, you can bring your girlfriend back for us to meet!"

Jiang Feixin said: "It should be no problem to bring him back to meet his parents years ago!"

Jiang Feng reminded: "Brother, don't be careless, you still have your sister-in-law-to-be's parents to pass!"

When mentioning this issue, Jiang Fei scratched his head and said: "This is indeed a big problem. I haven't made any achievements yet, and I don't have the confidence to meet her parents yet."

Jiang Feng said: "Brother, don't be discouraged. Our family's conditions are getting better day by day. As long as your relationship with your prospective sister-in-law is stable, it shouldn't be a big problem to pass her parents' test."

Jiang Fei nodded repeatedly after hearing this. As long as his girlfriend was of the same mind as him, everything else would not matter. There would always be a way to solve it.

…

At the same time.

A hotel in Zhuguan County.

Wang Jia and Hou Lanxin returned to their previous relationship smoothly.

After all, they were boyfriend and girlfriend who had been in love for seven years. They didn't look for each other after they broke up. When they met again after three years, they naturally entered the hotel.

After entering the sage time, Wang Jia looked at Hou Lanxin and said, "Lanxin, Matchmaker Jiang has told me what you mean. Do you really not want to give up your job?"

At this time, Hou Lanxin was still thinking about the passion just now.

As the saying goes, you know the taste after eating the marrow. If you have never experienced it, it is not difficult to not eat meat for three years. But for those who have tasted the taste of meat, they suddenly give up meat for three years. Whoever quits knows what it feels like.

Although she didn't like to say something embarrassing in this situation, now that he asked, Hou Lanxin still nodded and said: "I got this job with great difficulty, and I really don't want to give up easily."

Wang Jia was silent for a moment and asked: "Lan Xin, Matchmaker Jiang should have told you everything about me, right?"

Hou Lanxin said: "I've already said it, but I didn't expect your career to be really successful. Congratulations!"

Wang Jiadao: "You should know that my family's financial situation is not as good as yours. If I had listened to you and stayed to work in your township, your mother would most likely not have agreed to our marriage."

Although Hou Lanxin didn't want to admit it, she knew in her heart that he was right. With her mother's attitude at the time, she would definitely oppose their marriage.

Wang Jia continued: "So, in order to be worthy of you, I had no choice but to work in the provincial capital. After accumulating some experience, I decisively returned to my hometown and started a business in the county. But starting a business was not easy. It took three or four years of hard work.

We didn’t see the results, and you and I inevitably broke up because of our long-term long-distance relationship.”

Hearing this, Hou Lanxin couldn't help but sigh. The two had been in love for seven years, but they had only been together for three years when they were studying. For the remaining four years, they were in a long-distance relationship and could not see each other once in three months.

Not many couples can persist in such a relationship.

"Now, after seven years of hard work, my career has finally opened up and I have a good income."

At this point, Wang Jia looked at Hou Lanxin and said with a complex expression: "After we get married, we will be a family. My career is actually your career. If you are unwilling to quit your job and accommodate me, then we want to be together.

The only way is for me to accommodate you.

Before I make up my mind, I want to make it clear to you that my current business reputation and customer relationships are all in our county. Once I choose to give up my business in the county and start over in your township, it will take more than just a few years.

The initial investment is 100,000 yuan, and if the business is not good, you may lose all your capital.

Of course, I can not start a new business, but just find a job that pays one or two thousand yuan, but are you willing to marry me like this? Do your parents agree to your marriage? "

Hou Lanxin couldn't help but fell silent after hearing this!

Wang Jia said loudly: "Lan Xin, I will leave it here today. If you are willing to marry and your parents do not object, I will go back immediately to handle my business tomorrow!"

Hearing this, Hou Lanxin couldn't bear it anymore and said emotionally: "Husband, please stop talking. I will go back and resign tomorrow. For the rest of our lives, we will work hard together and face the ups and downs of the future together!"

Hou Lanxin's change of attitude filled Wang Jia's eyes with surprise, "Honey, are you telling the truth and you didn't lie to me?"

Hou Lanxin said softly: "Husband, I am telling the truth, I didn't lie to you!"

When Wang Jia saw this, she could no longer hold back her excitement, and immediately let out a scream and put Hou Lanxin down.

He had nothing to repay the beauty for her kindness, so he could only pledge himself to her!
