Aunt Wang took care of Xi Heming at Xi's house when she was a child. She witnessed with her own eyes that the child grew more and more pretentious as he grew older. He cannot eat food that is too cold, too hot, too salty, too bland, too meaty, or too vegetarian. The ingredients must be fresh and nutritious. In order to prepare a good meal for him, Aunt Wang has to choose from an ordinary meal. My aunt became a chef by training, and got a lot of certificates related to Chinese food, Western food, desserts, and nutritionists.
A picky and fussy person like Xi Heming will choose high-end restaurants and hotels even when dining out. Roadside stalls are something he would never choose. Things like mutton skewers are simply not in the same world as him.
Aunt Wang has taken care of Xi Heming for many years and naturally loves him as a child. But she also likes Jiang Wanwan in her heart and feels that she is energetic and energetic. The key is that the food is delicious and she is not picky at all, so Aunt Wang can't bear it. She took advantage of Xi Heming not being at home to grill skewers for Jiang Wanwan, but she didn't expect Xi Heming to come back at this time.
What was even more unexpected was that Jiang Wanwan would invite Xi Hening to eat skewers, which was a bit embarrassing.
Xi Heming looked at everything in front of him with a stinking face. The barbecue meat in the air overshadowed the aroma of his favorite flowers and plants. The expensive lawn was strewn with wine bottles. What made him despair the most was his favorite. There was a barbecue grill on the table. Jiang Wanwan turned over the meat and called to him: "Handsome guy, come and eat two skewers."
Xi Heming felt that the veins on his forehead were about to burst out. For a moment, he had the idea of skewering Jiang Wanwan and roasting him: How can it be so edible? The plate of steak, the plate of grilled wings and the ten-inch chicken in the afternoon Did the pizza go into the dog's stomach
Looking at the wine bottles on the floor and the sizzling barbecue sounds, Xi Heming felt a sense of regret. He had known that he should have gone directly to socialize after get off work, so why did he go home and suffer this.
"Why are you still standing there? Are you embarrassed to come over?" Jiang Wanwan stood up and walked towards Xi Heming unsteadily. The shaky steps made Aunt Wang tremble with fear, fearing that she would slip into Xi Heming's arms.
Xi Heming also looked at Jiang Wanwan who was stumbling over and frowned. Before he could push her away, Jiang Wanwan had already rushed forward and grabbed his arm. She smiled at him with blurry eyes: "Barbecue is fun when there are many people. Come on. Come on, you're welcome, my sister will bake some kidneys for you later."
Hearing the big waist Xi Heming's face turned green, he gritted his teeth and pulled Jiang Wanwan off his arm: "Jiang Wanwan, why are you so drunk?"
"I'm not drunk, I'm just happy." Jiang Wanwan giggled at him: "I want to share some good news with you. I have rented an office today, and my company will open soon, and I will have money. I’ll give it back to you, and then we can get divorced.”
Xi Heming was stunned for a moment. Although Jiang Wanwan seemed to have changed since the wedding day and kept talking about repaying the money and getting divorced, before the marriage, Jiang Wanwan gave him the coquettish, nymphomaniacal, and big-breasted and brainless... The impression was so deep that he always felt that this was just another trick of hers, but now when he saw the drunken woman, she was still thinking about divorce, which gave him a strange feeling in his heart.
When Xi Heming was distracted, Jiang Wanwan had already pulled him over a few steps. Aunt Wang stood aside and was very confused. She didn't know whether to help Xi Heming break away from Jiang Wanwan's arm or help Jiang Wanwan pull him over. Just when she was hesitating, Xi Heming suddenly looked over. Aunt Wang knocked her head and felt a little more awake. She stood up holding on to the table and said, "Sir, he doesn't like barbecue. I'll go make some soup for him." .”
Xi Heming looked at Aunt Wang's obviously wandering steps and sighed helplessly: "No, Aunt Wang, you can go back and rest first. I can eat whatever I want."
Although Aunt Wang was a nanny, she had taken care of him for twenty years. When Aunt Wang drank, Xi Heming really couldn't watch her cook for him.
After sending Aunt Wang away, Xi Heming was too lazy to pay attention to Jiang Wanwan. He went around the kitchen and found no ingredients. In order to take care of Xi Heming's picky taste buds, Aunt Wang purchases the freshest ingredients every day, and buys a day's supply at a time, which can meet the daily needs without wasting. Because Xi Heming said he wouldn't come back for dinner today, Aunt Wang only prepared barbecue food, not cooking for Xi Heming at all.
Xi Heming looked in the refrigerator for a long time, and finally found two eggs and put them in a pot to cook for a while. But when he turned on the gas stove, he was dumbfounded. He couldn't turn it on.
Xi Heming, who had no concept of turning on the gas valve first, stood in the kitchen for a few minutes and then turned around and went to the Western kitchen. He found a bag of cereal from it. He boiled water and made a cup. He frowned and put it aside as soon as he took a sip. .
This is too delicious!
Rubbing his hungry and somewhat empty stomach, Xi Heming couldn't help but raise his head and look towards the terrace, his brows furrowed even more tightly: "Why is the smell getting louder and louder?"
*
Aunt Wang went home. Jiang Wanwan was sitting at the table alone. Although she was drunk, her hands and feet looked very nimble. She didn't waste any time when turning the skewers. She quickly baked about ten more. She picked them up and put them on the table. On the shelf above.
Picking up a bunch of mutton skewers, Jiang Wanwan bit off a piece of meat with the fork. This meat was carefully selected by Aunt Wang. It was half fat and half lean. The fat meat was roasted and the fat was wrapped in the thin part. It was so tender when you took a bite. juice.
Jiang Wanwan chewed the meat in her mouth, with a satisfied look on her face, and her whole body was immersed in this simple and joyful happiness.
After drinking beer and eating barbecue, Jiang Wanwan suddenly felt that this kind of life was quite good. Before writing the book, she focused all her life on her career. She had no friends, no hobbies, no entertainment. What was in her mind was either code or contracts. She had no time for herself. She even forgot that her favorite thing when she was young was Sitting on the roadside eating mutton kebabs, because she hadn't felt that simple happiness for a long time.
Now she has regained her former appearance and her simple little happiness, which is great.
Xi Heming stood aside from a distance and watched Jiang Wanwan eat meat one bite at a time and drink one mouthful at a time. This casual and rude way of eating and the strong smell in the air made him feel a little uncomfortable. Just when he turned around to go back, he suddenly saw Jiang Wanwan, who had been smiling and eating meat, crying...
Xi Heming paused, hesitated for a moment, and then turned back to the living room.
**
The more she drank, the more confused her thoughts became, but the memories of the past became clearer and clearer. When she thought that these precious memories had been forgotten by herself, Jiang Wanwan's tears became even fiercer, as if all the tears she hadn't shed in ten years were still there. It was like it collapsed at this moment.
Sobbing, she suddenly saw a pack of tissues in front of her eyes. Jiang Wanwan raised her head and saw Xi Heming's face full of disgust.
"I already look ugly after eating oily face. To cry like this is just affecting my appetite."
Jiang Wanwan wiped away her tears and smiled. She reached out to take the tissue, pulled out one and wiped it on her face randomly, but said unforgivingly: "You've already finished dinner, why do you need an appetite?"
Xi Heming was very angry after hearing this. He wanted to eat it, but was there anything he could eat at home
Jiang Wanwan threw aside the paper towel in her hand, picked up a skewer of mutton skewers from the grill and handed it to Xi Heming, looking at him with pity: "I heard from Aunt Wang that you have never eaten mutton skewers. You are such a poor child. Hurry up. , hurry up and taste this divine taste!"
Xi Heming took a look and saw a drop of oil dripping on the table. He immediately took a step back with his chair, with rejection written all over his face: "I won't eat!"
"Why are you so pretentious? Why are you sitting here if you don't want to eat?" Jiang Wanwan stood up and forced the mutton skewers into his hand. Xi Heming was worried that the oil would drip onto his clothes, so he quickly reached out to stop it, and Jiang Wanwan just stuffed it. In his hands.
Xi Heming stared at the mutton skewers in his hand as if his body froze. The knife that had just been taken off the fire was still a little hot, and the scent seemed to have a soul, going straight into his nose.
like…
It smells pretty good!
"Eat! Why are you just watching?" Jiang Wanwan opened a bottle of beer and placed it in front of Xi Heming: "Eat a bite of mutton skewers and drink another sip of wine, and you will know what happiness is."
Xi Heming looked at the beer in front of him and curled his lips even more: "Isn't this the beer Aunt Wang uses for cooking?"
Jiang Wanwan rolled her eyes: "Nonsense, your house doesn't have beer other than this. But what brand is this beer? It's a bit strong!"
Xi Heming no longer wanted to talk to Jiang Wanwan, and his attention was entirely on the mutton skewers in front of him.
To eat or not to eat, that is the question!
Maybe the scent was too strong, and my stomach growled. Although Xi Heming didn't eat much for dinner, he ate three meals a day on time and never went hungry.
It seemed that there was nothing else to eat except mutton kebabs. Even if he called a high-end restaurant to order food, it would take an hour before he could eat it.
Why don't you give it a try
Xi Heming, who was extremely confused, raised the mutton skewers and took a bite. When he realized what he had done, the meat was already in his mouth. Although the taste of the seasoning was a bit strong, the tender texture still made him raise his eyebrows in surprise. .
After eating a piece of meat, his stomach seemed to be even hungrier. Xi Heming comforted himself that these ingredients were prepared by Aunt Wang herself, so they must be fresh and hygienic, and he started to feast on them, eating string after string.
Jiang Wanwan looked up and saw that the grill was empty. She took some half-cooked meat skewers from the nearby plate and placed them on the charcoal fire, turning the skewers skillfully.
Xi Heming looked at her in surprise: "Aren't you a rich and charming young lady? It's hard to imagine that you would do such a thing?"
"I'm not a pretty lady, I'm just an ordinary female college student." After thinking about it, the drunken Jiang Wanwan added: "Of course, I'm also an awesome female CEO."
"You are confident." Xi Heming said as he followed Jiang Wanwan's example and rolled up his sleeves. He took the initiative to take two skewers of prawns and put them on the grill. As for the lamb kidneys, he moved them aside while Jiang Wanwan was not paying attention. He didn't want the mutton skewers he was eating to be stained with the smell of this stuff on an empty plate.
The taste of the mutton skewers was slightly salty. After eating a few skewers, Xi Heming couldn't help but pick up the beer in front of him and take a sip. The beer's wheat aroma and meat flavor were intertwined, and the taste was actually a bit addictive.
He only knew that red wine goes well with steak, but he didn’t know that mutton kebabs and beer are also a magical pairing.
Jiang Wanwan, who was already drunk, was all interested in skewers. While grilling, she said, "Actually, my dream when I was in college was to open a skewers shop. Do you know why?"
Xi Heming's thoughts were already immersed in the flesh, and he followed the words and asked: "Why?"
"Because kebabs are the best business in the world." Jiang Wanwan giggled and said, "You can make money by selling it. If you can't sell it, you can eat it yourself without wasting it."
Xi Heming: "..." He shouldn't talk to an alcoholic.
Jiang Wanwan, who was immersed in the dream of a barbecue restaurant owner, watched Xi Heming only eat meat skewers and drink beer, and casually handed him the small cake she had on hand: "This is the cake prepared by Aunt Wang. You can wrap the meat in it and try it." taste."
Xi Heming looked at the long drill in his hand and couldn't help but frowned: "How to wrap it?"
"What a waste!" Jiang Wanwan muttered, then picked up a small cake and two skewers: "I'll teach you!"
Before Xi Heming could argue with her about the word "trash", he was shocked by her operation. Even if the meat was in the cake, he could understand why sauce and green onions were added! ! ! !
Jiang Wanwan ate the cake in her hand in three mouthfuls, and said to Xi Heming Anli seriously, "It's very delicious."
Xi Heming doubtfully picked up a piece of cake. It was okay to put meat in the cake, but he wouldn't even put onions in it! Jiang Wanwan became angry when she saw Xi Heming not following her instructions. She knocked on the table and shouted at the top of her lungs: "If you don't add green onions, this barbecue cake will have no soul!"
Xi Heming: "..."
Haha, go to hell with your soul! I will never eat onions!
