Chapter 171 Rice Cake
Chapter 171 Rice Cake
Lu Jian, who had clearly eaten before going out, couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva when she saw the rice cake. This small movement was seen by Tang Ying, who was standing next to her.
Following Lu Jian's line of sight, Tang Ying also saw the rice cake. Well, it looked very sweet at first glance.
"Want to eat rice cakes?"
Tang Ying asked in a low voice. Lu Jian came to his senses and nodded immediately: "I think so."
Ms. Zhou, who was standing next to the two of them, was slightly surprised when she heard what they said: "What? Are you hungry again?"
It's no wonder that Zhou was surprised. Today, because Tang Ying was coming to take the assessment, Zhou thought that she couldn't do much to help, so she simply got up early and cooked a lot of delicious food for breakfast. More substantial than lunch.
Lu Jian was always a delicious food. Seeing the table full of delicious food, she couldn't help but eat one more bowl than usual. Therefore, in Zhou's opinion, Lu Jian should be very full by now.
Lu Jian chuckled, reached out and hugged one of Zhou's arms, and said with a smile, "I'm not hungry, just greedy."
Because she gradually accepted Zhou and Tang Ying, Lu Jian rarely hid her thoughts in front of the two of them, and would speak out directly about anything. Zhou didn't feel much about this, and felt that Lu Jian was She is becoming more and more clingy and acting coquettishly.
Of course, the target of this coquettishness was only her, and she was happy to accept it. After all, the daughter-in-law here was considered her daughter. She finally felt the feeling of being coquettishly acted upon by her children, and her attitude towards Lu Jian became more and more tolerant.
Tang Ying noticed the change in Lu Jian, but he liked this change, so he was very happy. He saw that Lu Jian would only act coquettishly towards his mother, but not him, and occasionally treated him like a brother. Looking at him with such eyes, I feel a little upset.
Hearing what Lu Jian said at this time, Tang Ying was about to say, go buy some and try it. But before he could say anything, Zhou smiled and rolled his eyes at Lu Jian and said, "Let's go over and have a look."
After saying that, the two of them went to the rice cake stall hand in hand, with no intention of greeting Tang Ying. Tang Ying followed helplessly.
"Auntie, how do you sell rice cakes?"
The old lady's hair was already gray, so it was not too much for Zhou to call her aunt.
The old lady raised her head when she heard the voice. Although she was older, her eyes were still good. When she saw the two people standing in front of her, the girl was still staring at the rice cakes and swallowing her saliva. She knew that business was coming and smiled. Blinded.
"My rice cakes are not expensive. They cost thirty cents per catty. They are made from real ingredients and are guaranteed to be delicious."
The price of thirty coins is indeed not expensive. Ms. Zhou thought for a while and said, "Can it be only half a catty?"
"Half a catty?" The old lady was stunned, but she still nodded with a smile: "Okay, how much you want, I will weigh it for you."
"Then half a catty."
Zhou made the final decision.
When Zhou was talking, Lu Jian stood obediently beside Zhou, still holding Zhou's hand. After hearing that Zhou asked for half a catty, the smile on his face became even bigger.
The old lady's hands and feet were pretty quick, and she quickly cut out a piece of rice cake, put it on a clean paper and weighed it, no more, no less, exactly half a catty.
"It's exactly half a catty, fifteen cents."
As the old lady spoke, she picked up the rice cakes together with the paper on which they were cushioned, and handed them directly to Lu Jian. This half kilogram of rice cakes sounded like a lot, but it was actually just a piece as big as a palm. It looked soft, but it was actually The portion is generous, a plate-sized piece weighs three kilograms.
"Here, girl, take it, it's a little hot."
"Okay, thank you, mother-in-law."
Lu Jian took it and thanked her politely. She didn't care whether others called her a girl or a young lady. It didn't make much difference to her.
However, Mrs. Zhou, who was paying the money, heard this, and while handing over the counted copper coins, she corrected the old lady: "Madam, this is my daughter-in-law."
The old lady was stunned again, then laughed: "Oh, my eyesight is bad, but your relationship is so good, I thought you were mother and daughter."
Zhou didn't have any other meaning in correcting the other party. She just felt that she should correct her. When the old lady said that their relationship was like mother and daughter, she immediately laughed. Lu Jian happened to tear off a piece of rice cake with sugar and handed it to her. to Zhou's mouth.
"Mom, you should try it too."
This is not the first time Lu Jian has fed Mrs. Zhou. In the past, every time Lu Jian ate cakes or fruits, she would stuff a mouthful of them into Mrs. Zhou or Tang Ying, because she thought the food was delicious and wanted everyone to eat it. It tastes better if you eat them together.
Tang Ying was a picky eater, and would often just give someone a bite to eat and then stop eating. However, Zhou was very happy to be fed by Lu Jian, so as long as Lu Jian was eating next to Zhou, he would basically have to feed Zhou after he took two bites. One bite has almost become a habit.
"it is good."
Mrs. Zhou agreed and took a bite. The rice cake was soft and chewy, and with the brown sugar peanuts mixed in, it was indeed fragrant and sweet. She couldn't help but nodded: "Yeah, it's delicious."
Seeing Mr. Zhou nodding, Lu Jian smiled, tore off a large piece and stuffed it into his mouth. He squinted slightly and looked like he was happy with the meal.
The old lady who had already collected the money couldn't help but feel a little envious when she saw this scene. After all, it is rare to see such a harmonious relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in this world. Just like her, not to mention her daughter-in-law, even her daughter-in-law and her were not like this. Been close.
While the old lady was sighing, Tang Ying, who was a step behind, finally walked over. Someone just pulled him to ask questions, and he had to answer other people's questions first, so he walked slowly.
"Mom, Jane, have you bought it?"
While talking, Tang Ying glanced at the rice cake in Lu Jian's hand that was half missing, and asked again: "Is it enough?"
Naturally, this question was asked to Lu Jian. Lu Jian smiled and nodded: "That's enough."
After all, she just wanted to taste it, and she wasn't really hungry. While answering, Lu Jian tore off another piece of rice cake. This piece of rice cake was the white and green part below, and there was no sugar in it.
"Ms. sir, you should try it too."
Seeing that there was no candy, Tang Ying took it with a smile and nodded after entering: "Yes, not bad."
After receiving Tang Ying's approval, Lu Jian became even happier. He tore off another piece and gave it to Tang Ying: "Then you can eat another piece."
The piece she tore to Tang Ying was actually not big, just a small one. The two pieces together were not as much as her own mouthful, but this was also because Tang Ying was very restrained in eating and did not eat too much of many things. food.
Looking at the rice cakes handed over, Tang Ying was a little helpless, but still took it: "Okay, you can eat it yourself."
Lu Jian nodded, she knew that it was good for Tang Ying to take two bites, while Mrs. Zhou watched from the side, her smiling eyes slightly narrowed, but she was cursing in her heart.
"Huh, brat, if I usually ask you to eat more, it's like taking poison. Now that Lu Jian is feeding you, I'll see how you refuse."
When Tang Ying ate the rice cake, his eyes happened to catch sight of his mother, and he understood the meaning in his mother's eyes at a glance, and was immediately speechless.
Lu Jian didn't know about the lawsuit between the two of them. She had already torn up another piece of rice cake with sugar and handed it to Mrs. Zhou: "Mom, take another bite."
"it is good."
Mrs. Zhou cooperated with a smile, opened her mouth to eat directly, and did not forget to praise: "Jian is thoughtful, this rice cake is really delicious. If you want to eat it in the future, I will buy it for you."
"Okay."
Lu Jian smiled and agreed, and ate all the remaining rice cakes. After all, after dividing the rice cakes between two people, there was only three or four mouthfuls left.
But when she was finishing the rice cake, Tang Ying and Zhou suddenly remembered something. They both looked at Lu Jian's left hand with shocked expressions.
"Jian, is your hand okay?"
