Just as she was talking, Aunt Wu's voice came from outside the house.

In the main room, Fang Ji had already tied up the carriage, and just happened to enter the house with Aunt Wu who was bringing Ji Ningxu.

"Brother Zhou, you're here. When I saw the carriage outside, I guessed that you must be here. Where's Sister Wang, didn't you come with me?" Aunt Wu and Zhou Jing knew each other well, so there was no need for Ji Chunshan's introduction. As soon as they met, they chatted acquaintedly.

"Come on, come on, I'm talking to Brother Lan in the back room. Sister Wu, sit down quickly, sit down and talk." Zhou Jing stood up and said, and then he was about to invite Aunt Wu to his seat.

At this moment, Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Da Zhou came out of the east room upon hearing the sound. When they saw Aunt Wu, Mrs. Wang went up to hold her hand, and said happily, "Old sister, it's been a long time since I saw you!"

When Aunt Wu saw Mrs. Wang, she was also a little excited, and said: "Yes, the last time we met was when my girl Yun went out. Calculate it, it must have been more than half a year."

"No, come, let us sisters come into the room to talk." As Wang said, she dragged Aunt Wu to the east room.

Ji Ningxu was at a loss as he stood there, Da Zhou picked him up and said with a smile, "Xu'er, do you still recognize Auntie?"

"Xu'er recognizes, Aunt Hui." Speaking of which, the last time Ji Ningxu saw Mrs. Zhou was at Ji's mother's funeral, and it was almost a year ago. I didn't expect to remember it. No wonder she didn't cry when she was hugged. , Da Zhou's single name has a word Hui.

"Xu'er is so good." Seeing that Ji Ningxu still recognized him, Da Zhou was also a little surprised, and hugged Ji Ningxu to Zhou Jing again, and asked, "Does Xu'er still recognize this grandpa?"

Ji Ningxu hugged Da Zhou's neck, and said timidly: "I know, I know, it's Grandpa Zhou."

"Haha, Xu'er is so smart. Xu'er still remembers Grandpa Zhou. Grandpa Zhou is so happy." Zhou Jing stroked Ji Ningxu's little head and smiled heartily. He could see that he really loved Ji Ningxu. He took out a delicate silver collar with a bell from his arms, and put it on for Ji Ningxu.

"Uncle Zhou, this—" Ji Chunshan saw that Zhou Jing gave such an expensive gift, and when he was about to speak, Zhou Jing glared at him.

"I gave this to Xu'er, don't worry about it. Also, don't pawn off this necklace anymore, otherwise—huh!" It turned out that Zhou Jing once gave Ji Ningxu a pair of collars when he was full moon, but it didn't take long. Being duped by Ji Chunshan, Zhou Jing knew that Ye Qinglan and his son couldn't keep good things in their hands, so he didn't give any more.This time, it was because Ji Chunshan really repented that he redeemed this long ago, but the collar that had been kept at home was sent again.

Ji Chunshan was taken aback when he heard the words, and then remembered that the original body had been given to Ye Qinglan and Ji Ningxu by some others, and there seemed to be a pair of such collars among them. He smiled wryly, and said no more.

Da Zhou hugged Ji Ningxu and said a few words. Seeing that Ji Ningxu was always looking at the east room, he knew that he wanted to go to Ye Qinglan's side, so he carried him into the east room.

After entering the east room, he put Ji Ningxu directly on the kang, Ye Qinglan hugged Ji Ningxu in his arms, and Ji Ningxu also snuggled up to Ye Qinglan obediently, like a chick returning to its nest generally.

Da Zhou took out snacks for Ji Ningxu and Aunt Wu from the baggage he brought, and took out clothes for Ji Ningxu to try on to see if they fit.

Aunt Wu and Mrs. Wang sat together on the edge of the kang and recounted the old days, and they talked about Ji Chunshan in a few words.

Aunt Wu told Mrs. Wang that she had just heard about Ji Chunshan selling land to the village head today. After hearing this, Mrs. Wang raised her head in surprise, "Really?"

Aunt Wu nodded and said, "The village head is looking for buyers everywhere. Everyone in the village knows about it. Although I knew that Shanzi had changed his temper, I never thought he would still have this determination."

"If you want to sell the two acres, you can sell them all. If you want to exchange some capital to start a small business and sell some food," Aunt Wu said: "By the way, didn't Shanzi learn a few things from Brother Zhou, and he wanted to start some snack business. It shouldn't be a big problem, right?"

But Mrs. Wang was a little hesitant, and said: "I don't know much about their men. It's just that my family said at the beginning that Shanzi is very smart and quick-witted, but he doesn't need to be on the right way, and he is lazy and lazy. Just fooling around, it made my family very angry. I scolded and beat me, but after a few days, I became the same old again. Fortunately, Shanzi has a good physique and strength, so let him do odd jobs in Zuixianju."

"That's it." Aunt Wu didn't expect it to be like this.

She only knew that Ji Chunshan worked in Zuixianju, and it was arranged by Zhou Jing, the chef of Zuixianju. Zhou Jing also taught Ji Chunshan cooking skills, so she always thought that Ji Chunshan was doing work on the stove, but she didn't expect it to be a handyman.

"Oh, it's okay, as long as Shanzi wants to live a good life, at worst, let's help out more." Wang said.

"That's the reason. Brother Ji and his wife are kind people. There is only a single seedling like Shanzi. Let's take care of it and help. When we go underground and see Brother Ji, sister Lin, we will have an explanation." Aunt Wu said.Before the fall of the Ji family, they had a lot of family background. The Ji family and his wife are kind and reasonable people. If anyone has a problem, they can always help.

Back then, Aunt Wu, a widow and her daughter, was bullied by her in-laws and her property was taken away by her in-laws. She was kicked out and had to go back to her mother's home, Anping Village.At the beginning, the mother and daughter were in a difficult situation, and later the daughter suffered from the cold. Thanks to Ji's father and Ji's mother, the daughter's life was saved. She has never forgotten this kindness.

Ye Qinglan didn't speak all the time, just listened to Aunt Wu talking with Mrs. Wang, with a smile on her lips and a calm face, but when Aunt Wu said that Ji Chunshan was going to sell the land, his expression froze slightly, and then he seemed to understand something, revealing the original With a clear look, the long eyelashes are half drooping, and there is a bit of condensed sarcasm emerging from the covered eyes.

Before you know it, it's already halfway through.Since Zuixianju had the most guests at noon, and the chef couldn't do without Zhou Jing, Zhou Jing and the others planned to leave. Ji Chunshan also knew that they couldn't stay for a long time, so he didn't keep them too much , personally sent a few people out the door.

"Uncle Zhou, Auntie, when Qing Lan gets better, I will take him to visit you." Ji Chunshan said.

"It's fine if you have the heart, brother Lan's body is the most important thing. It's getting colder and colder in the future, don't go out until it's better, if you get cold again, it won't be good." Zhou Jing patted Ji Chun Shan's shoulder, exhorted.

Ji Chunshan nodded and said, "I can save Uncle, don't worry."

Fang Ji brought the carriage over, and Zhou Jing helped Mrs. Zhou and Mrs. Wang into the carriage respectively, and then the two also sat on the front of the carriage. Fang Ji grabbed the reins and began to drive the horse. Zhou Jing waved to Ji Chunshan , Said: "Don't give it away, go back."

"Hey, Uncle Zhou, go slowly." Ji Chunshan stood in front of his door until the carriage disappeared into the bamboo forest, then turned and went back to the house.

Aunt Wu's family had something to do, and she was just sending Ji Ningxu back. When she saw Zhou Jing and the others coming, she chatted for a while, but she didn't stay long before going back. At this time, there were only Ye Qinglan and Ji Ningxu in the room.

After entering the east room, Ye Qinglan pointed to a few paper bags and some clothes on the kang, and said to him: "Auntie brought these, some snacks, and clothes made for Xu'er."

Ji Chunshan glanced at it and said with a smile, "Since it's for Xu'er, then you can keep it."

Ye Qinglan hummed lightly and didn't speak again.

Ji Chunshan scratched his head and didn't know what to say to Ye Qinglan, so he said: "You rest, call me if you have something to do, I'm in the yard." After finishing speaking, Ye Qinglan nodded and didn't intend to say anything, so he said Turned around and went out.

Back in the yard, Ji Chunshan continued to fight with the chicken feathers.When the chicken was almost cleaned up, he went into the kitchen and was about to stew it in the side water, but he didn't expect to see a lot of things on the ground as soon as he entered the kitchen, and he couldn't help being stunned.

One bag of rice and flour, each bag weighs about [-] catties, half a piece of pork, a piece of lamb leg, a large piece of three-flowered and five-layered bacon, two old hens, still alive, four tails of fatty fish, and eggs A basket, some fresh vegetables and fruits, plus some other odds and ends, there is almost no place to stand in the kitchen.

Ji Chunshan made a rough calculation, these things add up to at least three taels of silver, enough for the three of them to eat until the end of the year.Thinking about it, Fang Ji should have put it in the kitchen when he was tying the carriage.Uncle Zhou also thought that he would not want his money, so he helped himself in this way. He didn't know how to repay his hard work.

First put the two old hens in the chicken coop behind the house, hang the fish and meat to the beams of the house so as not to be gnawed by the mice, and return the other things to everyone. Proceed to the step of stewing the chicken.

Add cold water to the cauldron, put the whole chicken in, turn off the heat after the water boils, take the chicken out and put it into the soup pot, then add scallions, ginger slices, pitted red dates, and finally soaked astragalus, add water until Cover the chicken body, cover it, simmer on high heat, add salt to taste after boiling, and then change to simmer and simmer. After half an hour, the rich fragrance filled the whole kitchen.

Ji Chunshan lifted the lid and poked it with a chopstick. Seeing that the bones and flesh of the stewed chicken were separated, crispy and tender, he turned off the fire.

It was already noon at this time, just in time for lunch, Ji Chunshan directly brought the soup pot to the kang table in the east room, and then went back to the kitchen to get two clean bowls, chopsticks and spoons.

"It's just been stewed, it's still hot, and astragalus and red dates are added to nourish the blood, but I didn't dare to put too much seasoning, I only put a little salt, it might be a little bland, you have to taste it." Ji Chunshan He said with a smile, and filled two bowls while speaking, and placed them in front of Ye Qinglan and Ji Ningxu.

Ji Ningxu didn't move, he looked at the chicken soup with big black and white eyes, twitched his nose, looked at Ji Chunshan, and finally at Ye Qinglan.

Ye Qinglan glanced at Ji Chunshan, then picked up a bowl first, tried it and found it was not too hot, then gave it to Ji Ningxu who was beside her, and said in a low voice, "Drink slowly, be careful not to spill it."

After Ji Ningxu took the bowl and drank it in small sips, he picked up another bowl himself.

A spoonful of warm and fragrant chicken soup came into my mouth, and I had just tasted it before I could swallow it, when Ji Chunshan's questioning came from my ear.

"How is it? Is it too bland, do you want to add some salt?"

Ye Qinglan swallowed the chicken soup in her mouth and said, "No, it's delicious."

Ji Chunshan smiled and said: "That's good, drink more if it tastes good."

Seeing Ye Qinglan and Ji Ningxu and his son drinking soup quietly, Ji Chunshan went back to the kitchen to prepare lunch. Although the chicken soup is good, he still needs to eat some staple food. Hot will do.
