NOVEL FROG Chapter 16 Dowry
Tan Hui unknowingly ate less than half of the ginger along the way.
"Zhuzi, can I still contact the ginger seller? I'll buy some later."
Tan Hui looked at the small piece of ginger in his hand and couldn't bear to eat it anymore.
"I don't know if I can get in touch with you. It's not like you don't know about the black market. It's all liquid."
Hearing He Yuzhu's answer, Tan Hui sighed in disappointment: "Good things are hard to come by. It would be great if I could know how to grow this kind of ginger."
Seeing the master putting away the small piece of ginger like a treasure, He Yuzhu wanted to laugh but didn't dare.
"Master, that day I also thought that this man was very good at selling ginger and other aniseed ingredients, so I bought them all. The ginger alone weighs thirty kilograms!"
"Thirty catties?"
Tan Hui looked at He Yuzhu in surprise and joy.
"Yeah! Thirty pounds, but it should be lighter."
"Oh! That's great. Why, you bring me ten catties...twenty catties tomorrow. You bring me twenty catties. I won't ask for your money in vain. I'll treat it as a betrothal gift for marrying Yingru. "
Twenty pounds of ginger to get a wife? Isn’t it a little disrespectful to Tan Yingru?
If she knew that she would take ginger as a betrothal gift and marry her home, would she wear small shoes for herself?
A price increase is necessary.
"Master, how about I bring you all the thirty kilograms? I will go to the black market over there when I have time, and maybe I can encounter them again."
"Okay, okay... I guess you have a filial piety."
"Master! You go back first, I'll go back and get it right away."
......
The two big men settled on the betrothal gift.
When He Yuzhu got home in the evening, he took out about [-] kilograms of ginger from the space, another three kilograms of garlic, and more than a kilogram of star anise and peppercorns.
Then he took his sister and happily went to Tan's house to have dinner.
At about six o'clock, He Yuzhu arrived at Tan's house.
What He Yuzhu brought over was fresh ginger with dirt on it.
Tan Hui asked Tan Yingru to wash two kilograms out, and he wanted to pickle them and eat them, while drying the rest and preserving them.
Tan Yingru was washing the ginger there, completely unaware that this was her betrothal gift.
He Yuzhu didn't dare to tell the truth for fear of being beaten.
This girl has a bad temper sometimes.
But I like this kind of bad temper.
In the evening, Tan Hui cooked four dishes with the condiments given by He Yuzhu.
As soon as the food was served, the aroma already made people salivate.
Tan Hui took a bite and couldn't even believe that he had fried it.
"Zhuzhu, I'll give you a few days off. You can squat in the black market for a few days. You must catch this guy selling aniseed."
"Let me tell you, I once saw a note on aniseed in a recipe. Rumor has it that the family that specially provided aniseed to the palace back then grew aniseed that tasted very fragrant. I doubt that this is sold to you. The aniseed is the family that grew all kinds of aniseed specifically for the palace back then."
Tan Hui's eyes were brighter than ever before.
Tan Hui thinks that his cooking skills have reached the limit of his abilities.
But now there is a good seasoning that can elevate your cooking skills to one level, no, to several levels.
Why wouldn't he want something like this?
It would be best to develop a cultivation method for this kind of conditioning.
"Then I'll go take a look tomorrow, but there may not be one. You should have heard of the black market."
He Yuzhu said this on purpose. If he agreed straight away, it would inevitably arouse suspicion.
"Hey...yes! Just take a look at it. If you don't squat enough, forget it. Don't force it too much."
Tan Hui knew that he took it too much for granted, and there was no way he could meet him just by standing guard.
Maybe they sold out that time and stopped coming.
But he was a little reluctant to not let He Yuzhu go and see him.
If he could get the cultivation methods of these aniseed ingredients, both his and He Yuzhu's cooking skills would make a qualitative leap.
He Yuzhu also knew what his master was thinking. Since the master said he would take leave, he would just stay at home for a few days.
If he doesn't go to work tomorrow, He Yuzhu suddenly remembered something.
Those are the old guys who were entertained in the steel rolling mill today.
I have to remind Master.
"By the way, Master, a few old guys came to our factory today. They are Soviet technicians who are usually hard to find in our factory. I cooked a table of dishes with this aniseed today. I think they will come back tomorrow. By then, Just use the aniseed ingredients I gave you and fry them for them to eat. Give these people a few more days and let Director Yang clean up all their skills. Once all is done, we won’t serve you any more. These people are very arrogant. ,I do not like."
Tan Hui is also a very smart person. As soon as He Yuzhu said it, he knew what it meant. Then he looked at He Yuzhu with a smile and said, "When did you become so thoughtful?"
He Yuzhu didn't refute the master's ridicule. If he didn't change, how could he be worthy of himself for the rest of his life?
After a meal!
Tan Yingru cut the watermelon that He Yuzhu had sent in the morning.
He Yuyu ate half of this watermelon last night.
He Yuyu still misses that taste, and he didn’t expect to be able to eat it again tonight.
"Why is this watermelon so sweet? It's much more delicious than the one my dad bought last time." Tan Yingru's eating style rivals that of He Yuyu.
After finishing a watermelon, everyone was reminiscing about the taste.
"Dad, my brother doesn't like watermelon, so just leave this piece alone! Let's share it."
"I think it's okay..."
......
After eating the watermelon, the brother and sister He Yuzhu did not stay at Tan's house longer. Street lights are not yet common on the road, so they can't see the road when they go back late at night.
On the way back, the two also met Tan Yingxiong who was returning home.
Tan Yingxiong liked a girl and asked her to go out to play in the evening.
But why are you back now?
I heard Tan Yingru say, aren't you going to watch a movie with a girl tonight?
There were cinemas in the [-]s, and just like now, you had to buy tickets to go in and watch them.
In this day and age, the most romantic thing to do with your partner is to go to the movies.
I remember that in his previous life, Xu Damao took Qin Jingru to watch a movie, then went to a restaurant, and then went into a small hotel with Xu Damao in the evening.
His grandmother's Xu Damao was promised to me by Qin Jingru back then... He Yuzhu thought about it and felt that something was wrong. Did Qin Huairu really want to give his cousin Qin Jingru to him?
If he and Qin Jingru really see eye to eye, Qin Huairu will really make it happen.
It was still the matter between Qin Jingru and Xu Damao. Did Qin Huairu know about it early on?
Some things cannot be thought about in detail.
Now that he comes here by himself, Qin Jingru probably won’t even have a chance to enter the city.
When I met Tan Yingxiong on the road, he was my future brother-in-law, so I naturally wanted to say hello.
"Yingxiong..."
He Yuzhu shouted with a smile on his face, but Tan Yingxiong didn't seem to hear him, with a lost expression.
In this situation, you don't need to guess to know that it must be lovelorn.
And he was the one who got dumped.
After Tan Yingxiong walked away, He Yuyu said very dissatisfied: "Brother, why is he like this? You say hello to him and he ignores you."
After He Yuyu finished speaking, he still puffed his mouth and got angry.
He Yuzhu unceremoniously squeezed the bulging mouth, and then said to He Yuzhu in an analytical tone: "Don't you see that his mood is not right? He must have encountered something unpleasant, let's go! Ignore him, let's go home, I'm telling you, I also hid two cantaloupes under the bed at home, one for each of us."
Hearing that there was still food at home, He Yuyu's originally unhappy face suddenly brightened up.
