Chapter 49 Bullfrog
After eating the grouper fish hot pot, they returned to Wenhua Street. Tang Butian continued to attend English class, and Jiang You went to the convenience store to buy a few boxes of milk, and then returned to the Chongwu.
He walked upstairs, put the milk in the refrigerator, and sat down on the sofa.
The spider swung down from the ceiling along its thread and landed on the coffee table.
"Just wait a little longer."
The tentacles moved.
The phone vibrated, and Jiang You answered the call, "Oh, it's here, right? OK, OK, I'll come out and get it now."
After going downstairs, IKEA furniture was delivered.
The driver got out.
Jiang You said to him: "Just put the things on the first floor."
"Okay."
The driver and two delivery workers moved boxes of furniture into the house. As soon as the IKEA delivery truck left, Suning's came right after and piled everything on the first floor.
Mr. Zhang walked out of the kitchen. He looked at the boxes of various sizes piled on the first floor. He asked, "How do you get the furniture upstairs? Do you want us to help you take it down?"
Jiang You thought for a moment, "I'm struggling with this issue. It would be a pity to throw it away. Do you want to eat salted fish..."
"There are sellers of second-hand furniture in the market. If you don't care about the price..."
"Eh? Why didn't I think of that? Master Zhang, you still have experience."
Zhang Gong laughed, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes squeezed together, "Then I can help you find someone?"
"Okay, I'm sorry to bother you."
"I asked them to help you assemble the furniture. They are professional. If IKEA installs one piece for you, it will charge dozens of yuan, right?"
"That's it. Hanging salted fish, negotiating the price one by one, maybe calling for express delivery..." Jiang You shook his head, "I feel scared just thinking about it, and the weather is so hot."
"Then let me ask one more question, have you found a good person to get an integrated stove?"
"Not yet. If you know the person who does this, why don't you just call him over?"
"I definitely recognize him, he's in the same market."
"Then let them come. Once you've got the money, just give me a number and I'll give it to you." He glanced at Zhang Gong's expression and said, "The jobs on Cultural Street are all for you and Liu Gong.
It’s been so many years since you’ve been living in the neighborhood, and I still don’t know how you are doing?”
Zhang Gong understood what Jiang You meant. So he said: "Is this the truth? If I cheat you, will you still come to me for work on the street?"
He glanced at the time and said, "I'll have them come over today. It will go much faster this time, because they are all familiar and well-worn in. Where are the tiles? I've also found someone to install them for you. There's a Taobao store, and I'll install it in the store."
Here you go, you can see the patterns and whatnot for yourself?"
"If you had told me earlier, how much trouble could I have saved? Can it be done this Saturday?"
"Why, are you in a hurry?"
Jiang You took out his mobile phone and clicked on the link to the Taobao store that Zhang Gongai gave him. "My college classmates are coming. I was planning to treat them to eating crabs and admiring chrysanthemums in the yard, but I didn't expect that something happened to delay it."
"It can be good, but the smell will definitely dissipate and the paint and glue will evaporate. Please open more windows."
"I don't live in the kitchen, and these gentlemen won't come in. Okay, just help me hurry up. Just these two items, one for the floor and one for the wall."
"Send me a screenshot."
"Okay, I'll send it to you."
After securing three new businesses, Mr. Zhang continued working while humming a ditty.
At about three o'clock on Friday afternoon, the kitchen was all ready. After settling the labor and material costs with Mr. Zhang, Jiang You called for land reclamation and cleaning services.
At night, the yard, kitchen, shop, and upstairs were all neat, clean, and brand new.
On Saturday morning, Jiang You got up at nine o'clock.
Open the curtains, the sky is blue.
Warmed milk for the spider.
Went to Xiaofangzhai and had a bowl of fried eel noodles.
After returning to the insect house, I watered the pomegranate tree, succulents, and the newly arrived three pots of large chrysanthemums and two pots of small daisies.
The leaves of the water lilies in the pond are getting bigger.
The grass on the ground is green.
A place full of vitality.
He opened WeChat: Have you set off yet?
He @ Zhou Tao and Zhao Shiqi.
Zhou Tao: We are waiting in line to check in. Shiqi is next to me. Did you just get up?
Jiang You: No, I got up early and am preparing the yard to welcome you.
Zhou Tao: Have you bought the crabs?
Jiang You: I’m getting ready to go to the market.
Zhou Tao: Go quickly. Yuan Shu will come to pick us up. You will be responsible for tidying up the dishes.
Jiang You: OK, OK, let’s go now.
He sat down on the soft chair in the rest area, first opened the takeout app and ordered two drinks. Then he opened the food shopping app, slowly looked from top to bottom, selected eight June yellow crabs, and ordered a portion of edamame.
, a combination of onion, ginger and garlic. Seeing that bullfrogs were on sale, eight of them came, and then bought potatoes, lettuce, and lotus roots. Finally, I bought oil and various seasonings in the grain and oil section.
After placing the order, he sent a WeChat message to Chen Nan: How to make noodles with crab and hot pot bullfrog?
Chen Nan: Is the kitchen ready?
Jiang You: I just finished it yesterday.
Chen Nan: Have you bought the vegetables?
Jiang You: I’ve placed an order on Dingdong.
Chen Nan: Let me come over and help you take a look.
Jiang You: OK.
More than twenty minutes later, Chen Nan came over. She watched Jiang You take two bottles of milk tea from the delivery boy.
Jiang You asked her, "Sweet orange green tea or watermelon cheese milk cap, which one do you want?"
"Green tea."
Jiang You handed the green tea cup into her hand, "I'm very intellectual today."
Chen Nan had her hair loose and was wearing a cream-white silk shirt and rosy-colored wide legs. She poked open the cup of noodles with a straw, and after taking a sip, she asked: "What kind of food did you buy?"
"Just make two, edamame noodles with crab and hot pot bullfrog. The rest are for takeout."
"Both of these are not difficult, but," she drawled, "have you cooked before?"
"I haven't done it much, so it shouldn't be difficult to follow the tutorial, right?"
While they were talking, Dingdong’s grocery shopping guy came and handed three large plastic bags to Jiang You, “There is water in the crab bags, so be careful when handling them.”
Jiang You took it and said, "Thank you."
He walked to the kitchen with a bag in one hand, and Chen Nan followed him in.
Jiang swam into a basin, poured out the water in the bag, put the crabs into the basin, and filled half of the basin with water. "Look at these crabs, how energetic they are."
The bullfrogs were killed and placed in a transparent box.
Very big.
Chen Nan walked around the kitchen and said, "It's pretty good. You should cut up the bullfrog first, wash it and pickle it."
"Now?"
"Yes, don't make dried bullfrog. Make it braised in braised pot. The bullfrog in dry pot won't taste good if it's been left for a long time. After braised for a while and then heated, it will be more delicious. I'll help you make these two dishes now. Put them in the pot.
Here, just warm it up when they come."
"Sorry to bother Sister Nan," Jiang You looked at Chen Nan's hair scattered on her back, "the furniture above has been placed, do you want to go up and take a look first?"
"Okay," Chen Nan turned around and put the bullfrog in the refrigerator. "It's hot now. The kitchen must be cleaned after use. Otherwise, there will be many bugs on your first floor..."
