Chapter 1340
Yang Ming came out of his room with a bucket and rag: "Who came just now?"
"San Amu said that her niece-in-law wants to come to our store to work, and I agreed." Wang Xiaoming said with a smile. He was in a good mood. He couldn't recruit people before, but now some people take the initiative to come to their store to find work. This is a great progress.
Yang Ming said: "There is also an interview. Image is also very important."
Wang Xiaoming said with a smile: "I've seen it, it's not too bad. We even use it to the eminems, what else do young girls have to choose from?"
Yang Ming gave him a helpless look: "Have hot pot for lunch, no more cooking."
Wang Xiaoming readily agreed: "Okay, I haven't had hot pot for a long time." To be precise, I haven't had it all winter because I was too busy and had no time. Sitting around the stove in the middle of winter is so steaming, not to mention too much. Delicious.
Yang Ming said: "I'm going to make soup and make the base."
Wang Xiaoming couldn't help but twitch his index fingers when he thought about the hot pot base that Yang Ming had never shown. He didn't know what it would taste like. Just thinking about it made his mouth water.
Wang Xiaoming went to the kitchen to help wash the vegetables, while Yang Ming used old hens and lean pork to make soup. First, pour the raw materials into boiling water to remove the blood foam, then add cold water to boil, skim off the foam, add onion, ginger, cooking wine and other ingredients, turn down the heat and simmer, keep the soup noodles in a small rolling state, do not use high heat, low heat can ensure that the soup is clear and clear. Not turbid, fresh and rich aroma. Yang Ming thought that the clear soup was not enough, so he chopped a piece of chicken into minced chicken, then put it into the soup that had been cooked, stirred it over high heat until it was almost boiling, then turned down the heat and simmered until the impurities in the soup were absorbed by the chicken. Absorb the chicken minced meat, use a gauze towel to filter out the chicken minced meat, and leave the clear soup. This is Diaodang stock. If you make it again, it is Shuangdiao soup. This kind of stock is used to cook the most advanced dishes. It is clear but not light, and has a strong aroma. Tempting.
You can imagine how delicious it will be if you use this kind of soup stock for hot pot. Someone came in from outside and sniffed: "Wow, is your family doing Buddha Jumping Over the Wall again? It smells so good!"
Wang Xiaoming went out and saw a neighbor's grandma: "Grandma, I wish you a happy new year. Come inside and sit down. It's not like Buddha jumping over the wall."
Grandma looked at Wang Xiaoming and then looked around the room: "Xiao Ming is cooking? What is he cooking? It smells so good."
Wang Xiaoming smiled and said: "In Tang. A friend is coming over soon."
Grandma looked at Wang Xiaoming, hesitated to speak, and finally said: "Xiao Ming, you..."
At this moment, Yang Ming called out from the kitchen: "Boss, please help me answer the phone."
Wang Xiaoming turned to his grandma and smiled: "Grandma, I'm going to do some work first. You sit down first and drink tea and eat melon seeds."
Grandma nodded: "Okay, you go and do your work first."
Wang Xiaoming ran to the kitchen and picked up the phone. It was Zhong Yanhong who called, saying that he had arrived on the island and was at the dock and asked him to pick him up. Wang Xiaoming hung up the phone, got on his tricycle and went out to pick up people.
Zhong Yanhong came to pay New Year greetings this time, and he brought a lot of things over, including good wine, cigarettes, and some imported candies. He really looked like he was here to pay New Year greetings. He said that others were paying homage to him, and he was just borrowing flowers to offer to Buddha. .
Wang Xiaoming came back after picking up people, and Wang Ergou and Wang Bing also came back. The uncle and nephew received a lot of red envelopes and were happily opening them and counting the money. The neighbor's grandma didn't leave either. Wang Xiaoming knew she had something to say, so he hurried over to greet her. .
Grandma looked at Wang Xiaoming, then at the well-dressed Zhong Yanhong who he brought in, and said with a smile: "Xiao Ming, grandma is here to tell you a good thing. I have a grandniece in my family who is two or three years younger than you. I have been working outside for several years. She is quite pretty, a very diligent and thrifty girl, and has a good temper. If you agree, would you like to meet her? "
As soon as Grandma's words came out, several people in the room were stunned, including Wang Xiaoming, Wang Ergou and Zhong Yanhong. Wang Bing didn't understand. Yang Ming wasn't listening in the kitchen, so he didn't respond.
Wang Xiaoming suddenly showed an embarrassed look on his face. He thought grandma was here to ask for a job, but he didn't expect it to be like this: "Grandma, I, I never thought about this."
Grandma smiled so much that the chrysanthemums on her face bloomed: "I never thought about it before, but now I can think about it. You are already 25 this year, so you are not young. You see, my Zhong is two years younger than you, and he is already a father. . It’s shameful that you don’t have a woman to take care of your family. Your father is gone and your mother doesn’t care about you. We, the fellow villagers, have to take care of you.”
Wang Xiaoming was silent. After Luo Yufen got married, he felt sad for a long time. He also knew that he would not be able to marry a wife for a while, so he stopped thinking about it for the time being. Last year was his birth year, and it was also during the Spring Festival. His eldest aunt came over and said that she would introduce him to a girlfriend. She didn't mind that his family had debts, and she didn't mind that he had a child. The girl was older than him. He was three years old and could not see in one eye. Wang Xiaoming rejected him outright at the time. He was only in his early twenties, young and vigorous, and showed great talent. Just because his family was in a difficult situation, he should be disposed of as a disposal item? Because of this incident, his eldest aunt was angry with him and stopped interacting with her much.
Unexpectedly, someone has come to introduce me to a partner now. This time it doesn't sound like he is a disabled person, because has his family's situation gotten better? But Wang Xiaoming really has no energy to talk about a girlfriend now: "Grandma, forget it, I still owe a lot of debt and have no money to get married."
Grandma smiled and said: "You have opened a shop now, and the business is so good. The debts are slowly being paid off. You really need a woman to take care of the house at home. She can help you take care of the children, wash clothes, and take care of the money. If a woman takes care of the house, you can take care of the accounts." You have to hurry up. Really, grandma has been here and has experience, so she is not just talking nonsense. If you get married at this age, you can still find a suitable girl. If you get older, there will be no good girls for you to choose from in the future. "
Zhong Yanhong couldn't help but laugh out loud, and Wang Xiaoming became even more embarrassed: "Grandma, I don't want to think about this problem for the time being. I will wait until I pay off the debt in two years. Thank you grandma for thinking about me. I still have something to do in the kitchen. I'm leaving first." After saying that, he quickly went to the kitchen.
Grandma said with some embarrassment: "Xiao Ming, I'm sorry. What's the point of being embarrassed? Men should marry when they are older, and women should marry when they get older. They have to get married when they get older. No matter what, you should look at the person first before talking. ah."
Wang Xiaoming ran away without looking back, leaving grandma sitting there in embarrassment. Wang Ergou said: "Grandma, my brother will find it himself, so I don't need you to worry about it."
Grandma looked at Wang Ergou: "Does your brother have someone he likes?"
"I don't know about this. I can't control my brother's affairs." Wang Ergou didn't expect that grandma would ask him about it, so he quickly shook his head in denial. He felt from his brother's attitude towards the matchmaking that his brother's statement about paying off debts first and then talking about marriage was just an excuse. In fact, he had no intention of getting a girlfriend now.
