Chapter 13 013
Jiang Chaosheng entered the kitchen. On the countertop was an empty bowl exuding the aroma of fried food. The fried octopus that was used to lure fish thieves last night had been eaten up by the edible little mermaid. Next bit of residue.
Just as he threw the plate into the hot water to soak, Jiang Chaosheng noticed something, and when he turned his head, he saw the shark's slender white fingers pawing at the threshold, looking into the kitchen.
It was still early in the day, the light in the kitchen was not bright enough, Xiao Yuren's beautiful face was shining brightly, like a moon hanging by the door frame.
Seeing that Jiang Chaosheng noticed him, Ji Xuanbing immediately said: "Grandfather, you have worked so hard preparing breakfast, I'll see if there is anything I can do to help, if not, I can learn from it."
There is no way to repay the favor by asking the benefactor to serve him. If he eats two extra meals, he will probably be kicked out. Ji Xuanbing will not want to leave when he comes, so he will not foolishly wait in the reservoir for food.
Jiang Chaosheng's expression was slightly soft, Xiaoyuren was not capable, but his attitude was okay: "I will cook, and you will light the fire. It doesn't need to be troublesome. When the fire is finished, add firewood to it, two at a time."
Although he lives alone, Jiang Chaosheng doesn't do all kinds of work.The firewood he usually uses is chopped by hired villagers. The messy dead branches are removed, and the firewood he sends is all the same length and thickness. Let alone adults, it is Xiaohua who is five or six years old Girls can also help light the fire.
Ji Xuanbing responded obediently, sat on the ponytail, and glanced at his wet fish tail, Jiang Chaosheng changed his words: "Forget it, don't stay by the fire." lest the fish tail be dried out by the fire.
Sharks live in the sea, although they will not die out of water like hairtails, they should still be afraid of flames.He didn't wait for Ji Xuanbing to move away slowly, after saying this, he directly picked up the man and the pony, and put them firmly near the sink.
"See if there are any of these basins, wash them yourself, and after breakfast, you have to wash your own dishes here."
Naturally, there is no detergent in this era. Jiang Chaosheng brought a small bag with a label on it: "Here is soda ash. When washing the dishes, pour a little bit and rinse with running water three times. The dishes are clean without grease and dirt. Understand?"
Ji Xuanbing nodded, Jiang Chaosheng was about to walk away, thinking of his torn clothes, he took a step and then folded back: "Don't wash the dishes too hard, wash them and stack them up."
There are all kinds of pots and pans in his house, but if they are washed and broken, no rich family can afford such a mess.Jiang Chaosheng poured a little soda ash onto the plate, and brushed it a few times with the natural sponge he took out: "I'll just demonstrate it once, so watch carefully."
Ji Xuanbing stared at the young man's rolled-up sleeves without blinking, his well-knit hands, slender white fingers, and an inconspicuous layer of calluses on his fingertips. Jiang Chaosheng's movements were smooth and flowing, but in the blink of an eye, A pure white gold-rimmed white porcelain plate with water drops was placed on the countertop where the water was drying.
"Understand?"
"Understood!" Ji Xuanbing nodded heavily, and he patted his chest vigorously, "Grandfather, don't worry, Xuanbing will live up to the trust and wash your dishes clean!"
It was just washing the dishes, so Jiang Chaosheng asked one more question: "Your name is Xuan Bing, do you know what two characters your name is? Can you write your own name?" I don't know that this shark is illiterate. Whether it is serious or not.
En Gong asked his name!Ji Xuanbing suddenly became excited: "My name is Ji Xuanbing, and I can write names!"
He reached out to grab Jiang Chaosheng's hand: "Grandpa, I'll write it for you!"
Just write the name when you write the name, and you are also manual.Jiang Chaosheng waved his sleeves, avoiding the shark's protruding claws, and pointed to the sink: "Just dip in the water and write on the table."
Ji Xuanbing couldn't help feeling a little disappointed when he couldn't touch the hand of his benefactor, but they all exchanged names. Is it still far away from the marriage ceremony? The Yuren cheered up again, sat upright, and wrote his name and surname stroke by stroke. .
Jiang Chaosheng looked at the string of distorted characters on the table for a long while, but no matter how he looked at it, he couldn't tell that the group of letters that looked like dried fish had nothing to do with the three characters Ji Xuanbing.
"Engong, what's the matter? Is it because my handwriting is not good-looking?"
Jiang Chaosheng shook his head: "No, you wrote it very well." He died laughing, he couldn't understand the fish-shaped characters written by the merman at all.
In remote places like Qiongzhou, there are still some tribes that use their own unique language and characters. After all, mermaids are creatures of the deep sea, and there must be cultural differences with countries on land. If they don’t live on the ground for a long time, they definitely won’t Learning human language and writing is because he didn't think carefully enough.
"Ji Xuanbing, don't call me benefactor, you can call me brother Jiang or a famous name. Jiang Chaosheng, rivers of rivers, ebb and flow of tides, life is born endlessly."
"Jiang Chaosheng, Chaosheng. Benefactor, your name is really nice." Ji Xuanbing knew the name of his benefactor. He imitated Jiang Chaosheng's self-introduction and repeated his own name: "Ji Xuanbing, Jishui's Ji , the mysterious of the mysterious bird, the ice of the ice and snow."
"Yellow Emperor grew up in Jishui, and your name is also very nice." Jiang Chaosheng complimented politely, it is indeed a very poetic and ancient name.
"Grandpa, no, Jiang Chaosheng..." Yuren looked at Jiang Chaosheng with his chin in his hands.He said the name back and forth several times, pondering over and over on the tip of his tongue, it was just a name, and it tasted as sweet as honey when it was pronounced by the shark's clear voice.
Jiang Chaosheng felt disgusted: "It's useless to read my name, hurry up and wash the dishes."
He had just beaten the egg, and before he had time to stir it with chopsticks, he heard Ji Xuanbing call him in a tone of asking for credit: "Chaosheng, I've finished washing it!"
"So fast, how many dishes did you wash?" Jiang Chaosheng put down the work in his hands, and walked to Ji Xuanbing's side with uneasiness, "How many dishes did you wash? The dishes are not broken, are they?"
He came over and saw that each plate was clean and neatly stacked next to the plate he had demonstrated before.Taking a closer look, Ji Xuanbing washed it cleaner than him, and the dishes were as clean as new, and there was not a single drop of water left.
Jiang Chaosheng picked up the plate and waved it up and down a few times, but the plate was still intact, unbroken and usable.He couldn't help being curious: "How did you wash it just now?"
"That's it." Ji Xuanbing is not the kind of person who hides and hides. He poured all the bowls and chopsticks into the sink again, and then poured the soda ash for washing dishes into it strictly according to the reference amount: "One bowl, two bowls ..."
When the clean water overflows the plate, with a flick of the hand, the water starts to wash the dishes and chopsticks back and forth automatically: "The plate is washed!"
The merman is good at controlling water, as long as you give him a reference strength, not to mention the plates, the sink that hides all kinds of dirt will shine brightly.
Jiang Chaosheng visited the whole process, and then looked at the little merman. The merman's pretty face disappeared, and what was reflected in his pupils was a fully automatic dishwasher!
Ji Xuanbing cautiously said, "Grandfather? Is this okay?"
"Yes, well done." Jiang Chaosheng did not hesitate to praise Xiaoyuren.
Since he can wash the dishes well, he should be able to wash the clothes as well. He just needs to teach it once, which is equivalent to programming. He will then be able to own two smart machines, a fully automatic dishwasher and a fully automatic washing machine.
"Eun Gong, do you want me to wash all the dishes in the cupboard?" The merman who was praised seemed to be beaten up, feeling that he could wash a hundred dishes in one go.
Jiang Chaosheng came back to his senses: "No need, you go out first and help set the dishes later." Ji Xuanbing should have been casting a spell just now. After all, mermaids have life, they have to eat, drink and rest, so they can't really be used as machines.
Jiang Chaosheng squeezed the rice noodles. The rice noodles in the hot water had already softened. He added two sticks of firewood to the bottom of the stove, pulled the bellows a few times, and the fire at the bottom of the pot suddenly increased a lot.
Heat the oil, pour the beaten egg liquid into it, use a small pan to flatten it into a golden egg immediately, pick up the fragrant fried egg and put it in a small bowl.Pour the crushed garlic cloves and minced ginger into the remaining hot oil and sauté until fragrant, add a little tempeh and scallions.
The water in the cauldron boiled and boiled, and the soaked rice noodles were sprinkled in. After the evenly cut shredded pork was coated with cornstarch and scalded in the pot, the thin slices of meat dangled and floated to the surface. Skim off the scum and fish out, and finally sprinkle some freshly pinched shallots.
Jiang Chaosheng raised a knife and smashed two cucumbers directly. The clear soup lean rice noodles, served with fried eggs and cucumbers.
He took two large bowls, one for each person, and prepared a plate for each side dish, and divided meals.
"I'll eat this for breakfast today." Jiang Chaosheng is not used to Xiaoyuren, he will eat whatever he does, and if he has any objections, he can just pick it up and throw it back into the sea.
Even so, before moving his chopsticks, he still said: "If you feel that it is too weak, you can add salt yourself, and if it is salty, add a little boiling water."
Ji Xuanbing didn't know how to use chopsticks. He imitated Jiang Chaosheng's movements and used chopsticks clumsily, and then the slippery rice noodles fell down.
Damn, I can't hold it at all!But you can't ask your benefactor for this kind of trivial matter. He is here to repay your kindness, so you should feed your benefactor instead of asking him to feed you.
With it, you can drink the soup first, and the rice noodles will not be slippery!Ji Xuanbing took a big mouthful of soup, and then tears fell down.
Jiang Chaosheng was shaking his powder, when some pearls fell on the table, and the pearls rolled on the table, making a crackling sound.
As soon as he raised his head, he saw the culprit who disturbed him from eating. The little shark's green eyes turned red, his lips were ruddy, and his pink tongue stuck out like a puppy that was overheated. Ji Xuanbing quickly retracted his tongue again.
Jiang Chaosheng looked at the other party's bowl that was missing half of the soup: "The soup is so hot, why don't you eat the noodles first?"
"Wo... hiss..."
Because of the swollen tongue, Ji Xuanbing's speech was a little slurred, and the sharp teeth hurt when they accidentally touched the tongue.
"Wait a minute." It's really troublesome, Jiang Chaosheng stood up, leaned over, and pinched the little shark's chin, "Open your mouth, press your tongue down..."
He took the chopsticks that Ji Xuanbing used to eat noodles, and acted as a tongue depressor, lightly pressing against the other's uncontrollable tongue: "Fortunately, there are no bubbles inside."
Jiang Chaosheng rested his fingertips on the teapot, and poured out the steaming ice water from the pot: "Hold it, don't swallow it, just take it easy."
After he finished speaking, he stood up, and Ji Xuanbing swallowed the water anxiously: "Gulu... where are you going, Mr. Engong?" Does it mean that it's useless to dislike him.
"Go get you some ice cubes."
Jiang Chaosheng didn't know if Xiaoyuren had seen his secret, so it's better to avoid it anyway.
"Don't bother your benefactor, I can make ice myself." Ji Xuanbing was not at all wary. He grabbed Jiang Chaosheng's clothes, took a big mouthful of water, and made a serious face. When he opened his mouth again, a piece of his tongue became The ice sculpture artwork - ice tongue in the snow.
Jiang Chaosheng couldn't help laughing, the little shark looked dazed, a little cute: "Okay, don't show me, wait until the ice melts and the soup is cold before eating."
Knowing how to melt water into ice, but not knowing how to cool down hot soup, is really stupid.
Jiang Chaosheng finished eating a large bowl of rice noodles and fried eggs. Ji Xuanbing was anxious and quickly melted the ice in his mouth.
Jiang Chaosheng asked him, "How do you feel?"
Ji Xuanbing shook his head and nodded again: "It's much better." He looked at Jiang Chaosheng eagerly, "But if Mr. En kisses my tongue, it will definitely improve faster."
Jiang Chaosheng scooped up Ji Xuanbing's noodles into a small bowl with chopsticks. The rice noodles without soup cooled down quickly. He ruthlessly rejected Ji Xuanbing with a fierce tone: "Hurry up and eat your noodles! Remember to pick up your teardrops." Get up, and pay for the food when the time comes."
The scheming little mermaid not only asks for kisses, but also wants to kiss with his tongue, it's very scary!
