Life is a Game

After reporting his latest situation to the ancestors of the Wang family, Jiang Feng rubbed his ears that were almost deafened by the firecrackers, and followed the elders back to the village.

When Jiang Feng returned to the village, many people had already gathered around his grandmother's house, and the tables, chairs, and benches had already been set up - everything from the hall to the yard was full, and those that couldn't be placed were placed in the neighboring houses. are relatives.

The Wang family has a large population, and basically all of them live in this village. Wang Xiulian has more than a dozen cousins, plus relatives such as seven aunts and eight aunts. In name, it is a family dinner to celebrate Jiang Feng's brilliant achievements this year, but in fact it is a meal for the whole village.

Before the banquet even started, Jiang Feng was dragged over by cousins ​​who couldn't name them to greet him.

"Xiaofeng is fine. I haven't seen you for two years and he has grown into a handsome boy. You should have a drink with your cousin at noon today."

"This kid has been promising since I was a child. As expected, he has been on TV! It seems that not only on TV, but also in some newspapers or magazines for interviews. He is really promising. Xiaofeng, I must talk to my cousin at noon today. Uncle, have a drink or two!"

"Xiaofeng, are you talking about a girlfriend yet?"

"Xiaofeng, your grandpa saw it on TV when you participated in the competition. You are really promising, it's all on TV, and I will have a drink with my grandpa when I eat."

"Xiaofeng..."

Jiang Feng: ...

My name is Jiang Feng, I'm a chef, and I have a game cheat, but it's useless, because I can't drink, but I have a group of cousins ​​who love to drink and have a good drink.

Jiang Feng felt that if he had words on his forehead now, it must be 4 English letters plus an exclamation point.

HELP!

Just when Jiang Feng felt that he was going to have nowhere to go, he suddenly heard Jiang Jiankang chatting with his uncle.

Jiang Jiankang smiled enthusiastically, an unprecedented enthusiasm.

It was not surprising that Jiang Jiankang was suddenly so enthusiastic about Jiang Feng's uncle. Jiang Jiankang's attitude towards Jiang Feng's two uncles had always been highly consistent with Wang Xiulian's. Because of this family banquet, the relationship between Wang Xiulian and her two brothers has eased a lot. On the way just now, Jiang Feng saw Comrade Wang Xiulian reply to the words of the two brothers.

You know, because of the bad things that happened in the past few years, what Comrade Wang Xiulian is best at these years is to treat her two brothers as air, no matter how big they are, they can't see them.

"Brother, take me to the kitchen to see Master Wang. I haven't seen Master Wang for many years. Just now I went to the kitchen to see if there was no one there," Jiang Jiankang said.

"The kitchen stove at home is broken and hasn't been repaired yet. Master Wang is next door. He is probably still busy. I will take you to him, brother-in-law." Uncle Jiang Feng responded with a smile, and took Jiang Jiankang to the kitchen.

Jiang Feng was watching the two of them leave when he suddenly had a plan and came up with a brilliant idea.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, cousins, uncles and grandpas, I'll go over first, I'll go over first, let me go, let me go." Jiang Feng nimbly got out of the encirclement and ran towards Jiang Jiankang.

"Dad, I'll go to the kitchen with you!" Jiang Feng shouted.

"This kid, even after the Chinese New Year, he still misses the kitchen. No wonder he is so promising." A cousin laughed.

"That's right, he's really just like his father, no wonder he won the championship in the cooking competition." Another cousin echoed.

"Isn't it the runner-up?" Another cousin asked.

"It's all the same. As the old saying goes, there is no first thing in literature and no second in martial arts. It's hard to tell the difference between the first and the second." The uncle said with a smile.

Jiang Feng ran up to Jiang Jiankang. Jiang Jiankang was still a little strange, and asked, "Son, what are you looking for in the kitchen?"

"I've never seen how the running water mat is made, I want to see it." Jiang Feng said, thinking of his own.

This kind of flowing water table dish for the Wang family dinner is served one by one, and you eat it while you are serving it. If you eat quickly, the next dish will be almost empty at the same time as the next dish. If the dishes were served slowly, many people would have been drunk by the time the last dish was served. Anyway, Jiang Feng didn't make it to the last dish last time, and he didn't seem to even make it to the third last dish.

Jiang Feng's idea of ​​serving the dishes was exactly what he wanted to do. He wanted to sneak into the kitchen and take over the power of cooking from Master Wang. To the outside world, he said that he wanted to show his cooking skills to his relatives and let everyone taste his cooking skills. With his tongue growing in his mouth, it would not be entirely up to him to say what he said.

Jiang Feng just planned to use the dragging formula, and the cousins ​​who dragged it outside the kitchen were almost drunk, and even if they wanted to drink when they came out, they would only drink a few glasses and couldn't pour it down.

Jiang Jiankang didn't know what his family was thinking about. He thought that Jiang Feng was really curious about the running water mat, and explained to him enthusiastically: "Actually, it's nothing. If the running water mat at your mother's house is small, just hire a master. Most of them are cooked dishes and cold dishes, and the soup is cooked in advance, so what will be cooked is a few meat dishes and vegetables. In other words, the time is tight. If we say it is busy, it is probably not as busy as our shop before New Year's Day. .”

While talking, Jiang Jiankang sighed: "The running water mats are not as good as they used to be. When I went to other villages with your grandfather to make flowing water mats, the stoves were not enough and we had to set them up. Your grandpa took care of 7 or 8 pots alone. , that scene is truly spectacular.”

"Dad, you used to be a running water mat with grandpa?" Jiang Feng was a little surprised, he didn't expect Comrade Jiang Jiankang to have such a glorious past.

Jiang Jiankang smiled shyly: "I just went to help chop vegetables. When I was in elementary school, I didn't want to go to school to find an excuse to skip class."

Jiang Feng: ...

Uncle Jiang Feng led the two of them to the kitchen. In the kitchen, Master Wang was struggling to wield the spatula, sweating profusely in his unlined clothes in winter.

It can be hot in a kitchen, especially next to a wood-burning stove like this.

"Old Wang!" Jiang Jiankang said.

When Master Wang saw Jiang Jiankang coming, he showed a smile: "Old Jiang is here, you have to try my handicraft well later, and see if I have regressed after being idle at home all these years."

Master Wang also used to belong to a state-run hotel, but not from City Z. He had some friendship with Jiang Jiankang.

"I heard that you have opened all your stores to Beiping. How is it? Is the business in Beiping going well?" Master Wang asked. He was only invited to cook a banquet, and he didn't know what the banquet was for.

"Not bad, business is booming." Jiang Jiankang smiled, and patted Jiang Feng, "This is my son Jiang Feng, you haven't seen him for some years, right?"

Master Wang couldn't help looking at Jiang Feng again: "It's been a few years since I saw him. He seemed to be in junior high school when I saw him last time. I didn't recognize him just now. He should be going to college now. How about it, fall in love Is it? Worked?"

Jiang Jiankang cheerfully repeated to Master Wang what Comrade Wang Xiulian had just said to the ancestors of the Wang family in front of the grave.

Hearing Jiang Feng's achievements in the past year, Master Wang was really surprised, and sighed: "It's true that the tiger father has no dogs. Back then, I envied your father's ability. I didn't expect your son to be so outstanding now."

Although these words sounded a little weird, Jiang Jiankang took it as a compliment.

Seeing that the atmosphere was getting better, Jiang Feng said, "Master Wang, why don't you rest for a while and let me come. I think you are really tired."

Master Wang waved his hands again and again: "How can I do that? How can I rest when your family paid me to come here? I'm not tired or tired. This is just the beginning."

Jiang Feng smiled brighter, and what he wanted was just the beginning: "It's okay, just take a break. We are all from the village, and you and my dad are old colleagues, so there is no reason to spend money to hire them or not. You are here to help, why are you mentioning this? You are my elder, so there is no reason for the elder to work and the younger to watch."

"Besides, I can only come here to pay New Year's greetings during the Chinese New Year. I rarely see my grandparents, grandparents, and uncles. They have never tasted my craftsmanship. You have worked so hard to hold a celebration banquet for me. With such a big battle, how can I just sit here and enjoy it. In terms of emotion and reason, I should cook a few dishes for the elders to taste, don’t you think so?”

Master Wang had never seen this posture before, but Jiang Feng said that he was confused on the spot, and felt that he was continuing to burn or stopping. Just in this dazed effort, the spatula was snatched away by Jiang Feng.

"Master Wang, tell me, what kind of dishes are you going to cook?" Jiang Feng, who had successfully seized power, had already started to look at the country he had just seized.

"this……"

"Old Wang, what Xiaofeng said is also reasonable. His grandparents and uncles haven't tasted his craftsmanship yet, so it's right to cook two dishes." Jiang Jiankang also felt that what Jiang Feng said was reasonable.

"But this..." Master Wang felt that there was nothing wrong with what Jiang Feng and Jiang Jiankang said, but...

Isn't it a little bad for him to take money and fish again?

"Master Wang, please rest for a while. You watch me burn, and give me some pointers." Jiang Feng said.

The word "pointing" directly poked at the softest place in Master Wang's heart, and Master Wang immediately agreed.

Jiang Feng, who had successfully usurped the throne, smiled slightly, and cooked from the second to the last dish, and added two more dishes to the original menu with extra ingredients. Although tired, but happy, happy like never before, happy without being drunk by cousins.

Fishing is a pleasure for a while, and Master Wang, who has always been fishing, said: Give him 10 for this kind of banquet, and he will burn 10!

After cooking the last dish, Jiang Feng stretched his muscles and bones in the kitchen, feeling refreshed, and even the air became sweeter.

Jiang Feng walked out of the kitchen, ready to greet all the uncles who had almost drunk, said a few polite words, and then walked away after a couple of drinks.

Then--

He saw a dozen cousins ​​who were extremely sober.

Not only was he sober, he didn't even blush, obviously he didn't drink much, which didn't fit the style of his dozen or so cousins ​​at all.

Jiang Feng:? ? ?

? ? ? ?

? ? ? ? ?

"Xiao Feng." The leading uncle walked up to Jiang Feng holding a wine glass.

This cousin seemed to be the third cousin and not. There were so many cousins ​​that Jiang Feng really couldn't tell the difference.

"Sanjiu heard from your father just now that you cooked all these dishes today. It's really intentional. It was originally to celebrate your achievements this year, but it turned out that you were asked to cook. Sanjiu is really very happy." Touched. Stop talking, come to Xiaofeng, let me toast you!"

Jiang Feng noticed that several cousins ​​who were closer to him picked up wine bottles and poured wine into their glasses.

He also noticed that the dishes on the table didn't seem to be moving much.

"Third uncle, why don't you eat vegetables? Is it not to your taste?" Jiang Feng smiled a little stiffly, he really couldn't laugh.

"I'm waiting for you. You've worked so hard. As uncles, we don't have the nerve to eat, and you cousins ​​don't have the guts to use your chopsticks too much!" Uncle Sanbiao said with a smile.

Jiang Feng: ...

Damn, I made a mistake.

"Who still has a wine glass, quickly pour Xiao Feng a glass of wine!"
