Volume 4: Beginning of Spring Chapter 30 Fried Rice
Catfish has few bones and tender meat, and its flavor is brought out when dipped in sauce.
The three of them lowered their heads to eat the fish and drink the soup.
After finishing the fish, Jiang You asked the waiter to add more soup. After turning up the heat, he put in the vegetables, mushrooms and soy products.
"If we put beef and mutton in the bottom of this pot, it will taste fishy. We 'll add it ." Jiang You picked up the soup spoon and gently stirred the ingredients in the pot. "High protein, low in calories, suitable for people like me who want to lose weight. By the way, I didn't order a staple food just now. I want a fried rice. What about you?"
"I want one." said Tang Butian.
Guan Nuo hesitated for a moment. Before he could speak, Jiang You called the waiter over and said, "Add two servings of special fried rice and one serving of milk-flavored steamed buns."
After adding the dishes, Jiang You said, "The three of us can share two portions and have a snack, and that's about it."
"Would you like to go to the movies after dinner, or come sit at my place for a while?" Jiang You asked Tang Butian.
"Go to Jinguang Temple."
"It's nice to take a walk in the park after a meal," Jiang You scooped a piece of tofu and put it in the bowl, "Guan Nuo, are you going?"
"Yes." Guan Nuo replied.
"I'll go to my place first. The stroller I bought has arrived. It's a good opportunity to take my son out to bask in the sun and go for a walk."
"Is he home alone now?" Guan Nuo asked.
Fried rice and steamed buns with milk flavor were served.
Jiang You picked up a steamed bun, dipped it in condensed milk, and took a bite.
"What can I do?" He sighed. "The recent tax deduction seems to reduce the amount of money my children have to pay if they go to school. I'm considering sending him to school earlier."
Tang Butian looked up at Jiang You.
"He can recite Tang poetry now." Jiang You was very proud.
After finishing a small steamed bun in a few bites, Jiang You scooped a bowl of fried rice with a spoon and started eating it with the dishes in the pot.
After eating half a bowl, he put down the bowl and asked, "Is Chai Ou's case closed?"
"How did you recognize Huang Juan?" Tang Butian asked.
"Were you conscious at that time?" Jiang You asked back.
Tang Butian pursed her lips.
"She looks a lot like her brother. I originally thought she was dead, but she is still alive and was sent to Tangjiang. She knows a lot." Jiang You saw that the vegetables in the soup had been almost taken out. He put two plates of mutton in and threw a few cabbage leaves in.
"Chai Ou, are we just going to ignore it?" Guan Nuo asked.
"How?"
"I'm not saying we should find him a job, but he's in arrears with rent and debts, and he can't deliver food anymore. I think we should help him at this time and let him rest for a while. For example, we can donate some money to help him pay off the rent he owes for a few more months, so that at least he doesn't have to worry about housing. His monthly rent is not high, less than a thousand yuan, and each of us can contribute a little bit, that's enough."
"Okay." Tang Butian said.
Guan Nuo breathed a sigh of relief, but felt a little surprised.
"It wasn't easy for him to learn from the training class he signed up for," Jiang You picked up a piece of mutton, dipped it in the sauce and put it into his mouth. The meat was not overcooked and tasted very good. He ate a few pieces in a row before continuing, "These training classes seem to have a reasonable curriculum, step by step, stage by stage, but in fact the difficulty curve is completely inhumane. It relies on this to screen out most of the people. Most students don't think that the training class teaches poorly, but think that they are not working hard enough and don't have the perseverance to persist."
"But he, he finished his studies and still couldn't find a job."
"To relieve anxiety, for example, I occasionally want to spend money on English training, so that when foreigners come to the store, I won't panic."
Tang Butian picked up a small steamed bun.
"You can learn something, right?" Guan Nuo said disapprovingly.
"You can learn, but starting from scratch, it only takes a few months, and it's not a one-on-one course, so there are definitely flaws. If you can't get into a big company, the salary offered by a small company may not be as high as delivering food, and you also have to consider the salary discount during the probation period. He is in debt and has a girlfriend. I think it's a bit strange." Jiang You put down his chopsticks and looked at Tang Butian. "Generally speaking, they like to find weak people who are easy to deceive."
"Then what?"
"I talked to Chai Ou yesterday. He was the one who broke up with me. He was upset for one night, drank some wine and went to sleep. He will just let it go in the future. He is so strong-willed," Jiang You brought the remaining half plate of fried rice in front of him, lowered his head and ate while saying, "If it were me, I would have given up in half an hour."
"But you didn't fall into the illusion twice when you went in." Guan Nuo misunderstood Jiang You's words.
Tang Butian glanced at Jiang You.
Jiang You pulled out a tissue and wiped his mouth. "There was always someone around me. The first time, Sun Yu accompanied me, and the second time, it was the section chief. By the way, that Lin Yu also has a strong will. They are not ordinary victims," he repeated again, "I think it's a bit strange."
"What do you think is the reason?" Tang Butian asked.
"Maybe it's a genetic mutation that makes everyone more adventurous?"
After dinner, Jiang You and the other two went to the insect house to pick up Jiang Mo.
Jiang You changed his clothes into a light yellow sweatshirt with a bear pattern on the chest. He thought his hair was a little long, so he found a rubber band and tied it into a crooked pigtail.
He carried Jiang Mo to the cart and pushed him towards the park.
The sun is very warm.
Walk through Merlin and to the lake.
On the open space by the lake, there are lanterns of various shapes, the tallest of which is more than ten meters high, divided into several groups according to themes.
Jiang You pushed Jiang Mo past the border and said, "It will light up in the evening. It will be colorful. Let's come and see it in the evening."
"It's the Lantern Festival." Tang Butian walked beside Jiang You.
Guan Nuo followed behind them.
"The New Year has passed," Jiang You reached out and touched Jiang Mo's braid, "I want to talk to Huang Juan."
"I'll arrange it."
"Did you enjoy the fight this time?" Jiang You turned his head to look at her.
"I want to have a serious fight with Zhuang Zekun."
As they were talking, Jinguang Temple appeared in their sight.
Master Hongzhen stood in front of the gate of Jinshan Temple. When he saw Jiang You and the others, he took a few quick steps forward.
Master Hongzhen put his hands together and said, "Miss Tang, you are here."
After his gaze stayed on Jiang Mo for a few seconds, he looked at Jiang You and Guan Nuo, "Donor Jiang, Donor Guan."
Without waiting for Jiang You and the other man to return the gift, he looked at Tang Butian again, "Miss Tang, the abbot and I have checked the underground palace again these few days."
Jiang You's fingers played with Jiang Mo's braids.
"What did you find?" Tang Butian asked.
"The one that escaped was a shadow demon."
"What about the others?"
Master Hongzhen shook his head and said, "I chant sutras in the Buddhist hall every day to suppress the demons in the underground palace. I didn't expect..."
"I want to see the underground palace."
Master Hongzhen nodded and said, "Please follow me."
