MTL - Siheyuan: The Final Winner-Chapter 17 Liang Ladi came to ask for help

  Chapter 17 Liang Ladi Calls for Help

  Although Qin Jingru said various reasons in his mouth.

  But she couldn't bear the temptation of delicious food in the end, and happily helped Jiang Pingan slaughter the hare and pheasant, very busy.

   Pheasants and hares are one of the two most popular game meats eaten by Chinese people.

   Pheasant meat is tender and delicious, with a delicious fragrance, while hare is tender, delicious and nutritious.

   Both kinds of game are rare ingredients.

  Jiang Ping'an got the inheritance of culinary skills, and wanted to do it himself, but before he stood in front of the stove, he was driven away fiercely by Qin Jingru, who refused to let him work.

   "It's okay, I don't care about it!" Jiang Pingan had no choice but to step aside.

   Then he said: "Make a braised rabbit meat and a chicken stewed with mushrooms. The seasonings are all in the cupboard. I'll go get the mushrooms in the main room."

  Qin Jingru bowed left and right, chopped the rabbit meat into small pieces, raised his head and smiled and said, "Okay, I will do what you say to eat!"

  Jiang Ping'an smiled, went to the basket in the main room, and took a bunch of dried mushrooms collected a few days ago.

   At the same time, he took out a catty of flour from the space and put it in a cloth bag.

  Back to the kitchen, Jiang Pingan put down the mushrooms and flour, and said to Qin Jingru:

   "There was some white flour left over from making dumplings before, and you made it into steamed buns. Let's have a good meal today!"

  Qin Jingru frowned slightly, raised her head and replied, "This white flour is very precious, and it can be exchanged for a lot of stick noodles!"

   "Do you want to eat or not? If you don't, help me prepare the meal and go home." Jiang Ping'an gave her a glare.

  Qin Jingru smiled, and replied: "No, I want to eat. It's rare to have something delicious, so you don't want to drive me away!"

   The two talked and laughed, time passed quickly.

   An hour later, the smell of meat and wheat is lingering, making people salivate!

  The two each served a large bowl of pheasant mushroom soup, and there was a pot of braised rabbit meat in the middle of the table, and they ate it with white flour steamed buns, enjoying the taste!

  During dinner, Jiang Ping'an suddenly said, "I'm planning to go back to the city early tomorrow morning."

  Now in his space, there are all kinds of grains and vegetables, as well as pigs and chickens.

   I hunted so many prey today, if I stay any longer, I won’t gain anything else.

  Qin Jingru was stunned for a while, then sucked her nose, lowered her head and said in a low voice:

   "Then be careful on the road, pay attention to safety, and give me another set of keys, and I will come and clean it from time to time."

  Jiang Pingan nodded, and immediately gave Qin Jingru a set of keys.

   Next, both of them were silent.

  After eating, Qin Jingru silently washed the dishes, her eyes were flushed, and her face was full of reluctance.

  After cleaning the kitchen, she filled a basin of hot water and served Jiang Pingan herself, washing his feet.

  Jiang Pingan sat on a chair, burning his feet.

  Qin Jingru squatted in front of the basin and scrubbed him with his hands very seriously.

  Jiang Ping'an thought for a while, and said, "There's still a lot of chicken and rabbit meat left, and I'll keep them for you."

   "After I return to the city, you can eat it yourself, or take it home to eat, it's up to you."

   "I don't want it, I'll pack it in a jar later, and you can take it back to the city to eat." Qin Jingru shook his head and replied.

  Jiang Ping'an leaned forward, stretched out his hands, held her little face, and said seriously:

   "I want you to eat a few good meals. Don't be ungrateful. After I return to the city, what can't I eat?"

  Qin Jingru pursed her lips and said, "I don't believe it. If you can eat everything in the city, why would my cousin still want to go back to her mother's house to eat?"

  She broke Jiang Ping'an's hands, continued to rub Jiang Ping'an's feet, and whispered:

   "Although you haven't made up your mind to marry me, I really regard you as my man."

   "There is delicious food at home, so of course we have to keep an eye on the old man first!"

   "Don't worry about me being hungry, I'm used to being hungry."

   "I have been raised by you for a few days. After you leave, it will take me a long time to get used to it!"

   "..."

   Then, Qin Jingru chattered a lot.

  Although he was a little nagging, after Jiang Pingan heard it, he felt very warm and comforted in his heart.

   After washing her feet, Qin Jingru was about to leave when footsteps came from outside.

   "Someone is here, who came to see me so late at night?" Jiang Ping'an was a little puzzled.

   Listening to footsteps, there are two people one behind the other.

   "Could it be Liang Laosan's father and son?" Jiang Ping'an guessed in his heart.

  The two of them left the kitchen, took photos with their flashlights, and saw a man and a woman walking towards Jiang Ping'an's house.

   "The one in the front is Liang Laosan, and the one behind... is Liang Ladi?" Jiang Ping'an was a little surprised.

   "Jingru, didn't you say that Liang Ladi is dead? Has she returned to her mother's house?"

  Qin Jingru shook his head blankly, and replied: "I don't know, she should have something to do when she goes back to her mother's house, right?"

   "They came to look for you so late, it must be something urgent, I'll go back first, and come back tomorrow morning."

  After walking a few steps, Qin Jingru stopped again, turned around and said, "Don't just leave without saying a word, I'll come over earlier to make breakfast, and you can go back to the city after eating."

  Jiang Ping'an nodded and said: "Don't worry, I will definitely not go quietly, you go back and walk slowly."

   "Understood." Qin Jingru responded, and left with a flashlight.

   Qin Jingru walked over here, and Liang Laosan and Liang Ladi entered the yard over there.

   "Third Uncle, come in and sit down." Jiang Ping'an warmly greeted Liang Laosan first.

   Then he smiled and said to Liang Ladi who was behind him: "Miss Ladi is a rare visitor, I haven't seen you for many years."

  While speaking, Jiang Pingan looked at Liang Ladi unobtrusively.

  She is about the same age as Qin Huairu, in her mid-twenties.

  The body is plump and well-proportioned, and the skin is as white and tender as snow.

  Wearing a pure black cotton-padded jacket, with a curly cut, her face looks small and delicate, gentle but majestic.

  She has an exquisite appearance, big and bright eyes, and when she smiles with a small mouth, she shows shallow dimples on her cheeks, and a few white and moist teeth, making her look extraordinarily sweet and charming.

  Liang Laosan and Liang Ladi both smiled and greeted each other.

  Because the fire in the kitchen hadn't been extinguished, Jiang Pingan took the two of them into the kitchen and sat down, and poured bowls of boiling water for them to drive away the cold.

  Next, the three exchanged pleasantries, and Jiang Pingan didn't take the initiative to ask them what he was talking about.

  In fact, even if they didn't say it, Jiang Ping'an knew it well.

   These days, it's just for stuttering, so Jiang Ping'an guessed that it is more likely that they came to him for food.

   Sure enough, Liang Laosan became a little anxious when he saw that Jiang Pingan hadn't asked them for a long time.

  So he coughed and said, "Peace, we are not outsiders, so if you have something to say, please speak up."

   "Well, uncle, just say it, I will definitely help if I can help." Jiang Pingan nodded and replied.

  Liang Laosan pondered: "Ping An, you are a buyer of a rolling mill. You have traveled all over the world and have a wide range of routes. Is there any way to get food?"

  Jiang Pingan shook his head slowly, and replied, "Third Uncle, if it's something else, I can think of a way."

   "Third uncle, you also know that I, a buyer, only buy mountain products, and don't deal with grain..."
