"Actually, it doesn't need to be so rich." Jiang Jizu was a little embarrassed.
He just came over to have a meal with his daughter, and didn't want to work so hard.
"It's not just for you, but also Third Brother." Jiang Sheng said seriously, "Third Brother came back from Northern Xinjiang all the way, and he can't eat these things on weekdays."
Jiang Jizu was speechless and looked back at Fang Heng, vaguely seeing the shadow of his old friend.
Thinking of what Mrs. Jiang said in her letter, he smiled knowingly.
"Come on, come on, the big elbow is here, try it quickly." Zhang Xianglian brought the last dish and asked everyone to sit down. "The big elbow must be eaten while it is hot. It will not taste good when it is cold."
Everyone picked up the bowls and chopsticks one after another and took food to the people they cared about.
Jiang Sheng stood on tiptoes and had just handed a large piece of elbow wallet to Fang Heng. When he turned around, he also put a piece in his bowl.
Jiang Jizu was eating seriously beside him, occasionally chatting with Master Zhang Xianglian, without any airs of a general.
Is he really the head of the Jiang family who is fighting abroad?
Is he the eldest son that his grandmother misses so much?
Is he the father Jiang Chengyuan will always admire?
Also her... daddy?
Jiang Sheng lowered her eyelashes and slowly bit the skin of her elbow. For the first time, she felt a little greasy, so she decided to bite the braised fish in her mouth to relieve her greasy taste.
The master chef usually braises crucian carp. The meat is tender and juicy but a little prickly.
Every time Jiang Sheng had to grill the fish for half a day before she could take a delicious bite, but today she was just halfway through the grilling when a clean piece of fish fell from the sky and landed accurately in her bowl.
Glancing at the people next to me, they were all eating seriously, and I couldn't tell who gave it to me.
Jiang Sheng sighed, picked up the fish and looked at it for a long time, and finally stuffed it into his mouth.
Someone laughed softly, picked up the fish pieces again, and carefully picked out the fish.
Jiang Sheng ate most of a whole large crucian carp, and Jiang Jizu's bowl was also filled with fish bones.
At the end of the meal, Zhang Xianglian remembered the burning soup and hurriedly went to fill it.
The master felt distressed and put down his chopsticks to help.
There were only a few brothers left at the dinner table. Jiang Sheng was finally able to put down his chopsticks and said softly, "No matter what, thank you for your willingness to help us. Brother, I have also eaten the big elbow. I will have the ice lychee delivered to Jiang Mansion later. What do you think?"
It looks like asking, but actually it's chasing people away.
The little girl knew who he was and what he wanted to do.
For the sake of her elder brother and as a thank you, she returned home obediently and finished her meal obediently.
She didn't dare to think about or ask for the rest.
Since you threw her away more than ten years ago, don't come back to her.
The man who was peeling off the thorns stopped and removed the bone spurs, which were as large as hair. The remaining intact and tender fish meat was dipped in the sauce and placed in Jiang Sheng's bowl.
"Child." Jiang Jizu sighed, "The Jiang family can't help you and has missed you for too much time. I should do whatever I can to help you. I don't need your gratitude or concern."
"I have been stationed in the northwest for twenty years, and I have only been back in Beijing for two or three years. I have never made great efforts to find you, nor have I personally educated you, nor have I ever supported you."
"Being able to have a meal with you and remove bone spurs for you is already a rare thing. No matter how much more you have, I shouldn't even think about it."
"I'm just here to tell you that you have a family and a father. As long as you are willing, the Jiang family will always open its door to you, and your father will always be waiting for you ahead."
The man stood up. There seemed to be tears in his eyes, but he blinked them away.
The beard covered his face, making him rough and covering all his emotions.
He is like a mountain that will never be broken, standing majestically in the world, blocking the wind in front and calming the water behind.
The delicious food on the table was still full of fragrance, and the little girl eating lowered her head and said nothing. This scene seemed like a dream, fantasy, and reality.
He stretched out his hand, as if he wanted to play with the small black balls again, but he was afraid of causing displeasure, so he could only put his hands behind his back lonelyly.
"You've eaten the big elbow. Save the ice lychees for your brothers to eat. Don't worry about Gongyuan. I'm here." After he finished speaking, he turned and left in a big stride.
Zhang Xianglian and the master chef just came over with soup, their faces full of shock and confusion.
Probably thinking that the great benefactor who helped them left without even drinking the soup.
Or maybe you are thinking about who the generals who fought on the battlefield came all the way back from the border for.
Jiang Sheng suddenly raised his head and looked at the silent Fang Heng, "Third brother, is it wartime in Northern Xinjiang now?"
Fang Heng nodded, with a sad tone, "Not only is it during the war, it's also the most intense and tense moment. If I hadn't saved a few great achievements, I wouldn't have the shame to ask for family leave."
What about him.
How many achievements must the general make, how many injuries must he suffer, and how many Tartars must he kill before he can return to Fengjing against all odds.
Will the Heavenly Family blame, will the court be angry, and the civil servants will hand over many passionate and indignant notes?
She just slapped her elbow to send him away. Isn't it a bit too much?
The more Jiang Sheng thought about it, the more uncomfortable he became, and the more he thought about it, the more entangled he became.
The impulse made her stand up and rush behind Jiang Jizu in a few steps. She hesitated to speak, "You...do you need anything? I will try my best to help you and I will repay you."
The man who reached the door of the main hall after a long time turned around, his eyes showing no emotion or anger, "I only have one wish."
"What is your wish?" Jiang Sheng breathed a sigh of relief, "Just tell me and I will help you."
"I want to play with you for a long time."
This doesn't sound too much, but it feels weird.
Jiang Sheng agreed hesitantly.
"Then it's settled, I'll take you there after dinner." Jiang Jizu raised the corners of his mouth and went back to drink a bowl of soup.
After dinner, they went to the market without guards or servants.
Zhang Xianglian was still a little worried, but she felt relieved after Chang Yan gave a few cryptic reminders.
There are many markets in Fengjing, but there are very few that specialize in selling food. Most of them are clothing and jewelry shops, with two pastry shops, two noodle shops, or two small restaurants in the middle.
For example, Tianjiekou, and Sidaokou.
The market in front of you is very novel. From the beginning to the end, it is full of food, which is simply dizzying.
Jiang Sheng followed Jiang Jizu, a little cautious at first, but as various fragrances came in, her eyes were filled with only joy.
The man suppressed his laughter and first bought two bunches of candied haws. The two of them ate one bunch each with gusto.
Then I passed by a mille-feuille pastry shop and tore one piece in half. I didn’t eat much, just tasted it.
There are also hawthorn-flavored eight-treasure porridge, donkey meat grilled, meat soup with rich mutton aroma, small cakes made of persimmons, and chicken in gourds.
Even though there were only two bites of each dish, Jiang Sheng still felt so full that he could hardly walk.
"Why don't I know what kind of market this is?" She couldn't restrain her curiosity and asked proactively.
"It's a place I discovered when I was a child." Jiang Jizu chuckled, "After I went to the battlefield, I rarely came here. I didn't expect that it would add so much delicious food."
Jiang Sheng burped, and the food he just ate came up together with the big braised fish.
Hold on, too strong.
It makes people feel sleepy and makes them not want to move.
It's a pity that her brother is not here, otherwise she would have to rely on his back and refuse to come down.
A father and son passed by. The son spread his legs and sat on his father's shoulders, laughing and joking as they passed by.
Jiang Sheng blinked, his thoughts becoming increasingly blurry.
A man's low voice came to my ears, "Are you tired?"
She nodded stupidly, and then she felt herself rising into the air, as if passing over something, and soon landed on her broad shoulders.
The sudden height made her subconsciously hug her eyes tightly. When she regained consciousness, she realized that it was actually a head.
"Don't be afraid." A hand grasped her ankle and held her firmly in place.
The surrounding scenery continued to recede, and an inexplicable sense of security came over her. Accompanied by a strong sense of sleepiness, she finally buried her face in her thick black hair, as if suppressing her emotions.
It's like hiding those two crystal clear golden beans.
