Volume 1 Beginning of Summer Chapter 49 Bullfrog

After eating the grouper hotpot, they returned to Wenhua Street. Tang Butian continued to go to English class, Jiang You went to the convenience store to buy a few boxes of milk, and then returned to the insect house.
He went upstairs, put the milk in the refrigerator, and sat down on the sofa.
The spider swung down from the ceiling on its silk thread and landed on the coffee table.
"Wait a little longer."
The limbs moved.
The phone vibrated, and Jiang You answered the call, "Oh, you're here, right? Okay, okay, I'll come out and get it now."
When I went downstairs, the IKEA furniture was delivered.
The driver got out.
Jiang You said to him, "Just put the things on the first floor."
"Okay."
The driver and two delivery workers moved boxes of furniture into the house. As soon as the IKEA delivery truck left, the Suning delivery truck arrived and piled the items on the first floor.
Zhang Gong came out of the kitchen and looked at the boxes of various sizes piled up on the first floor. He asked, "What are you going to do with the furniture upstairs? Do you want us to help you take it down?"
Jiang You thought for a moment, "I'm struggling with this problem. It would be a shame to throw it away. I wonder if I should buy it..."
"There are people who buy second-hand furniture in the market. If you don't mind the price..."
"Eh? Why didn't I think of that? Master Zhang, you are more experienced."
Zhang Gong laughed, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes squeezed together, "Then I will help you find someone?"
"Okay, thank you for your help."
"I asked them to help you install the furniture. They are professional. IKEA would charge you dozens of dollars to install one piece, right?"
"That's how it is. We have to sell them on Xianyou. We have to negotiate the price one by one. We might even have to order a courier..." Jiang You shook his head. "I'm scared just thinking about it. And the weather is so hot."
"Then let me ask one more question. Have you found a good person to build the integrated stove?"
"Not yet. If you know someone who can do this, why don't you just call him over?"
"Of course I recognize him. He's from the same market."
"Then let them come. Once you get the money, just give me a number and I'll give it to you." He glanced at Mr. Zhang's expression and said, "All the jobs on Wenhua Street are for you and Mr. Liu. We've been neighbors for so many years. How about you, don't I know?"
Zhang Gong understood what Jiang You meant. So he said, "Is that right ? If I cheat you, will you still hire me for work on the street?"
He glanced at the time. "I'll have them come over today. It'll be much faster this way because they're all familiar with it and have already run in. What about the tiles? I'll also help you find someone to lay them. If you have a Taobao store, I'll let you have the store and you can pick out the patterns and so on."
"If you had told me earlier, I would have saved myself a lot of trouble. Can we get it done by this Saturday?"
"Why, are you in a hurry to use it?"
Jiang You took out his phone and clicked on the link to the Taobao store Zhang Gongai had given him. "My college classmates are coming over. I had planned to treat them to crabs and chrysanthemums in the yard, but something happened and I was delayed."
"It can be improved, but there will definitely be some smells that need to be dissipated. Paint and glue will evaporate. Open the windows more often."
"I don't live in the kitchen, and those grown men won't come in. Okay, just help me rush it. Just these two models, one for the floor and one for the wall."
"Take a screenshot and send it to me."
"Okay, I'll send it to you ."
After getting three new orders, Mr. Zhang continued to work while humming a little tune.
The kitchen was ready at around 3:00 p.m. on Friday. After settling the wages and material costs with Engineer Zhang, Jiang You called for a cleaning service.
By the evening, the yard, kitchen, shop, and upstairs were all tidy, clean, and brand new.
On Saturday morning, Jiang You got up at nine o'clock.
I opened the curtains and saw the sky was blue.
Hot milk for the spider.
I went to Xiaofangzhai and had a bowl of stir-fried eel noodles.
After returning to the insect house, I watered the pomegranate tree, succulents, three newly arrived pots of large chrysanthemums, and two pots of small daisies.
The leaves of the water lilies in the pond have grown larger.
The grass on the ground is green.
Full of vitality.
He opened WeChat: Have you set off?
He @Zhou Tao and Zhao Shiqi.
Zhou Tao: I'm waiting in line to check in my luggage. Shiqi is next to me. You just got up?
Jiang You: No, I got up a long time ago and am tidying up the yard to welcome you.
Zhou Tao: Have you bought the crabs?
Jiang You: I’m just about to go to the vegetable market.
Zhou Tao: Go quickly, Yuan Shu is here to pick us up, you will be responsible for arranging the dishes.
Jiang You: Okay, okay, I’ll go right away.
He sat down on a soft chair in the lounge area, opened the food delivery app and ordered two drinks, then opened the grocery shopping app, slowly looked from top to bottom, selected eight June yellow crabs, ordered a portion of edamame, onion, ginger and garlic, saw that bullfrogs were on sale, so he ordered eight as well, then bought potatoes, lettuce, and lotus root, and finally bought oil and various seasonings in the grain and oil area.
After placing the order, he sent a WeChat message to Chen Nan: How are the crab noodles and dry-pot bullfrog made?
Chen Nan: Is the kitchen ready?
Jiang You: I just finished it yesterday.
Chen Nan: Have you bought the vegetables?
Jiang You: I placed an order through Dingdong.
Chen Nan: Let me come over and help you take a look.
Jiang You: Okay.
More than 20 minutes later, Chen Nan came over and watched Jiang You take two bottles of milk tea from the delivery boy.
Jiang You asked her, "Sweet orange green tea or watermelon cheese milk cap, which one do you want?"
"Green tea, please."
Jiang You handed the cup of green tea to her, "You are very intellectual today."
Chen Nan had her hair loose, and was wearing a creamy white silk shirt and lotus-colored wide-leg pants. She used a straw to poke open the cup of noodles, and after taking a sip, she asked, "What vegetables did you buy?"
"I'll just make two, crab with edamame noodles and bullfrog in dry pot. The others can be ordered from takeout."
"Neither of them is difficult, but," she drawled, "Have you ever cooked before?"
"I haven't done much before, so it shouldn't be difficult to follow the tutorial, right?"
As they were talking, the Ding Dong grocery store guy came over and handed Jiang You three large plastic bags. "There's water in the crab bags, so be careful when handling them."
Jiang You took it and said, "Thank you."
He walked into the kitchen with a bag in one hand, and Chen Nan followed him in.
Jiang Huan took a basin, poured out the water in the bag, put the crabs in the basin, and filled half a basin with water. "Look at these crabs, they are so energetic."
The bullfrogs were killed and placed in a transparent box.
Very big.
Chen Nan walked around the kitchen and said, "It's going pretty well. You can cut the bullfrog first, wash it and marinate it."
"Now?"
"Yes, don't cook dried bullfrogs. Cook braised ones. Dry-pot bullfrogs won't taste good if left for too long. Braised ones will taste better if left for a while before being heated up. I'll make these two dishes for you now. Put them in the pot and heat them up when they come."
"Excuse me, Sister Nan," Jiang You looked at Chen Nan's hair scattered on her back, "The furniture upstairs has been put away. Do you want to go up and take a look first?"
"That's fine," Chen Nan turned around and put the bullfrog into the refrigerator. "It's hot now, so you must clean the kitchen after using it, otherwise there will be a lot of bugs on the first floor..."
"It's very clean here, look, there are no mosquitoes."
