Chapter 299 Soy Milk and Fried Dough Sticks
Today is the first day of school at Lin Family School.
Since seeing Lin Yun off to Qingzhou seven days ago, Lin Jiaojiao has been living her life as usual.
She had just returned home from training. She took a shower and washed her hair in the bathroom, put on loose clothes, draped a white towel over the back of her neck and wiped her wet hair with one hand.
She unlocked the door and opened it but happened to bump into Jiang Huai who was about to push the door open. He stumbled and rushed inside. She hurriedly held his elbow to steady his body, avoiding the embarrassment of him falling into her arms.
"Is cousin okay?"
Jiang Huai steadied himself and stood up, and Lin Jiaojiao also put down her hand. He felt the heat on his elbow disappear and shook his head gently.
"I'm sorry, I didn't know you were in there."
"It's okay. It's just a coincidence. Why don't you sleep more recently, cousin? I've seen you get up before dawn recently."
Of course, it’s to create a chance encounter with you.
He couldn't say what was in his heart, so he just replied lightly: "There are a lot of mosquitoes. It sounds annoying, so I just got up."
"what?"
Didn't she remember that every room had a mosquito net installed? There were gaps in the mosquito nets and mosquitoes might fly in, so she distributed wormwood mosquito repellent incense to everyone except Lin Yiyan and Fu Qi's room.
"Don't you have some mosquito repellent?"
He frowned slightly and said, "If I apply the bamboo snow, I'll get red bumps, so I didn't apply it."
She immediately understood that this was an allergy to mugwort. When she was about to say something else, Zhu Xue from the kitchen next door came over with a basin of warm water. She was a little stunned to see the two people standing at the door.
Lin Jiaojiao quickly made way, "Then cousin, go wash up first, don't worry about the mosquitoes, I'll think of a solution."
"Okay, please."
"No trouble, no trouble."
After she finished speaking, she walked towards the inner courtyard. Seeing her leaving, Zhuxue continued to carry the basin into the house, thanking her excitedly.
"Thank you, Master! Thank you, Master! It's great that I can finally have a good night's sleep."
He thought that Jiang Huai had told Lin Jiaojiao about his troubles. After all, Jiang Huai had a mosquito net in the room, and the place where he slept was a makeshift one, and he had to fold it up when he got up during the day to avoid taking up space.
Jiang Huai didn't say anything, but just looked at himself in the mirror. These days he was always looking for an opportunity to meet her by chance, but she seldom acted alone at home. Today, he finally happened to meet Lan Jiu who was not guarding the door.
Thinking of the way she held her body and leaned back for fear that he would fall into her arms, his expression became gloomy. He now performed the method that he once sneered at.
But people always change, don't they?
Lin Jiaojiao continued wiping her hair as she walked. The door of her house was not closed, so she stepped over the threshold and walked in.
"Lan Jiu, the county magistrate is coming today, so you'd better not wear something too showy, or it will overshadow him."
Lan Jiu was ironing clothes with a charcoal iron. When he heard the sound, he didn't look but just smiled faintly and replied.
"I know. I picked a white one with apricot blossom pattern. It's flashy and not noble. Miss, take a look. If you're not satisfied, I'll change it for another one."
She walked over and stood by, watching. The pattern of the clothes was indeed beautiful, but the texture of the fabric was a little poor.
"No need to change, just this one. Lan Jiu has always had good taste."
"As long as the lady likes it."
Lan Jiu finished ironing the clothes and went out and closed the door. Lin Jiaojiao changed her clothes without combing her hair and walked out with half-dry wet hair.
"Good morning, my wife."
Lin Yizhi came out of the house yawning. He had been getting up very early these days to help out on the farm. There were more shops and more kinds of ingredients. He had to carefully control the quality of every new product to prevent small mistakes from causing serious consequences.
After all, many people are eyeing their business.
Lin Jiaojiao finally forced him not to go to the farm to work today, but he woke up naturally at the time, and then he couldn't fall asleep no matter how hard he closed his eyes, so he just got up.
Sure enough, Lin Jiaojiao's face fell, and she walked up to him and said distressedly: "Why don't you sleep a little longer? I'll take care of it later, and you should have a good rest these days."
Lin Yizhi held her arm and said coquettishly, "Wake up, I couldn't sleep. Isn't school starting today? I'll just go look after the farm. Manager Li said yesterday that the first batch of potatoes in the vegetable garden are ripe. When will we start digging them?"
She thought as she walked, and finally made a decision.
"Let's start digging in the morning, and let the county magistrate taste this high-yield food at noon."
She was going to present her performance to the county magistrate.
Everyone will know about this thing sooner or later when it comes to the market, so it is better to send it up as soon as possible. Although he is just a small county magistrate, he is also their direct superior in Linjia Village.
Distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors.
"Okay, my wife, please write me some potato recipes later, and I'll have someone pick some early-ripening peppers and tomatoes to cook with."
When she heard him say this, she immediately thought of beef brisket stewed with tomatoes and potatoes. She swallowed unconsciously and suddenly felt a little greedy.
"Then I'll go write it now, and by the way, ask someone to go to the town or city early to see if there is anyone selling beef."
Lin Yizhi held her hand and stopped her from going. "My wife, don't worry, go have breakfast first. There should be no beef. It's busy in the fields now. But you can send someone to take a look. What if something happens?"
"True, but let's go check it out anyway."
He went to the bathroom to wash up first, and she went into the kitchen first and saw Jiang Huai sitting at the dining table, drinking soy milk and eating fried dough sticks.
She walked over with a smile and took a look at the food in front of Jiang Huai, then asked Zhao Bo who was busy at the stove.
"Did Uncle Zhao grind the soy milk today? The fried dough sticks are also freshly fried, so delicious!"
"Master, please wait a moment. It will be fried soon. I also cooked tea eggs. This time they are more flavorful than last time."
She nodded with satisfaction, sat down at the dining table, and said to Jiang Huai who was eating fried dough sticks.
"Cousin, are you delicious? You can try eating youtiao with soy milk, it's a divine way to eat it."
After hearing this, Jiang Huai looked at the fried dough stick between the chopsticks in confusion, and soaked it in the sweet soy milk with half belief and half doubt. At her urging, he slowly put the juice-soaked fried dough stick to his mouth and took a bite.
It doesn’t have the crispness of the fried dough sticks that I had before, but the soft texture and sweetness of the soy milk just neutralize the greasiness of the fried dough sticks, giving it a unique flavor.
“Delicious, thank you.”
Seeing that he was not uncomfortable, she waved her hand to show her politeness. Lan Jiu also brought Lin Jiaojiao's breakfast over and put it aside, which included a bowl of soy milk, two freshly fried dough sticks, and a peeled tea egg.
She first picked up the bowl and took a sip of soy milk to warm her stomach, then picked up the chopsticks, picked up the fried dough stick and put it to her mouth to taste the original flavor. The freshly fried dough sticks were delicious, very crispy and soft on the inside.
"It's delicious! Uncle Zhao, you can open a breakfast shop with your cooking skills. Your cooking skills are amazing."
Uncle Zhao continued frying dough sticks and said, "Master, you are joking. I also made it according to the method written by Second Husband. As long as Master thinks it tastes good, it's fine."
In fact, all these recipes were written by her, but in order to avoid attracting attention due to her popularity, many of the recipes are said to be written by Lin Yizhi.
"Hahaha, Uncle Zhao is too modest, but I won't let you open a store. Our family can't live without you."
