Chapter 153 Finally found the meal time
On the last day of the holiday, after Zhao Xiaojing prepared part of the pork trotter rice and sweet soup, she left the rest to Su Yuchen and took a car to Wen Yulan's house.
Wen Yulan's work and family are both in Jiangcheng. A few days before leaving Yangcheng, Zhao Xiaojing went to Grandpa Wen's house to say goodbye. When she mentioned going to Jiangcheng, Grandma Fan said that Lan Zi was also there, and asked Zhao Xiaojing to visit Wen Yulan more often, and ask Wen Yulan for help if she had any difficulties.
But after coming to Jiangcheng, the two of them only contacted each other a few times and never had time to meet. Not only was Zhao Xiaojing busy, but Wen Yulan, the branch manager, was even busier. She even worked overtime a few days before the National Day.
After finally freeing up a few days of vacation, Wen Yulan called and said she would come over to pick up Zhao Xiaojing and Su Yuchen, take them around Jiangcheng and then visit her home for a meal.
The two of them thought that they still had business to do. If they went together, no one would sell the pork trotter rice. Besides, the decoration of the new store had been finalized. After the store opened, they might have less time to find Wen Yulan. In the end, they decided that Su Yuchen would stay at home to deliver the goods and make the sweet soup, while Zhao Xiaojing would go alone.
Zhao Xiaojing packed a whole braised pig's trotter and made a pot of mango sago, and carried them all the way to Wen Yulan Community.
Wen Yulan lives in a residential area on the second ring road of Jiangcheng, surrounded by hospitals, schools, shopping malls, parks, subway stations and other supporting facilities.
Wen Yulan asked Zhao Xiaojing which subway line she took, and waited at the gate of the community early. When she saw Zhao Xiaojing, she smiled with gentle crow's feet, and hugged Zhao Xiaojing and looked at her affectionately. "Oh, you've gotten darker! It's been a while since we last met. You must have been running around outside a lot, right?
It's so hot and you're carrying stuff. I told you specifically, what don't I have here? I said I'd pick you up but you didn't even give me your address. You're being too polite!"
"It's okay, Aunt Wen. I know you have everything you need, so I brought things I sell at my stall. I didn't say hello, I just took them. I didn't make anything special for you, and I didn't buy anything for you." Wen Yulan always has a gentle temperament. Zhao Xiaojing always can't help but get close to her and treats her as an elder.
The two swiped their access cards and walked in while talking.
As soon as you enter the community, you will feel a cool breeze. There are trees that block out the sun on both sides of the road. In the middle there is an exquisitely crafted fountain pool. Even the landscape plants are neatly trimmed, and you can tell at a glance that they are regularly maintained.
After walking straight past a building, you will see a large lawn. The distance between the buildings is quite wide. Wen Yulan's house is the second building behind the lawn.
This building has two elevators and two households. Wen Yulan pressed the elevator and went straight to the 29th floor. When she entered the house, she found Wen Jin was there too.
"Hello Uncle Wen, Uncle Wen is here too." Zhao Xiaojing greeted him in surprise. She only remembered that Grandpa Wen's three children were not in Yangcheng. She knew that Wen Yulan was in Jiangcheng, but she didn't expect Wen Jin to be here too.
"Jingjing, so fast! Here, I just killed the melon!" Wen Jin was carrying an exquisite fruit plate and placing it on the coffee table. When he heard the voice, he pointed at the plate on the table and said.
"Your uncle Wen just came over when he had nothing to do. When he heard you were coming, he immediately went into the kitchen to chop melons and fiddle with fruits. He was so busy that he didn't even have time to come with me." Wen Yulan glanced at the fruit plate on the table and smiled helplessly. "You are really a bitch. You put a plate on it in a short while. What a fool!"
"We're still a few toothpicks short, wait a minute!" Wen Jin didn't care about his elder sister's complaints, and turned around and walked in another direction.
Wen Yulan moved her lips and shook her head helplessly.
Zhao Xiaojing looked at the table and was immediately at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
There was a fruit plate with a flamboyant pattern on the coffee table. Part of the watermelon rind was cut into tassels and pricked with toothpicks to make it look like claws and fangs. Another part was cut into long strips, on which were placed rectangular pieces of Hami melon cut into grooves. The orange was also cut into slices and placed on it in the shape of petals.
The whole fruit plate is not ugly, it is quite artistic. Eating it at home feels like being at the Commerce Bureau.
After changing her shoes, Zhao Xiaojing was pulled into the living room by Wen Yulan. Just now, her attention was on Wen Jin and she didn't look closely. When he came in and took a closer look, Zhao Xiaojing was so surprised that she couldn't take her eyes away.
The house is well-lit and has north-south ventilation. There are large floor-to-ceiling windows on both sides, from which you can see the park downstairs and the lake in the distance at a glance.
Except for the bedroom, all spaces in the room are connected, and the kitchen is also open, which looks very simple and high-end.
The decoration of the entire room is very integrated, full of modern and artistic atmosphere, and the layout is so perfect that people feel very comfortable and at ease at first glance.
"Aunt Wen, this is a standard large flat with panoramic views. It's decorated so beautifully!" Zhao Xiaojing's eyes were full of stars.
"I was thinking of letting you and your classmates stay here for a few days. I finally have a holiday and I can take you out to play. We have rooms, but you are too busy." Wen Yulan looked regretful. "No matter how nice it is, it's just me and Yunyun's dad. It will be more lively when you come."
"It's okay, Aunt Wen. We are in Jiangcheng. We can visit each other often. When I open my business, I will invite you, uncle, and Uncle Wen to come to my place for dinner." Zhao Xiaojing said with emotion.
Although she had only met the Wen family by chance, after spending some time with them, she always felt warmed by the human touch of the Wen family.
"Jingjing, tea leaves or scented tea?" Wen Jin asked.
"Take a few bowls and drink the sugar water first. Jingjing carried them all the way here, don't let her go to waste." Wen Yulan said.
The three of them sat down, and Wen Yulan served Zhao Xiaojing a bowl first. "You just said you were opening a business, and you said it briefly on the phone last time. Where exactly is your new store located? Is it a fried skewers or a dessert shop?"
When Wen Jin heard this, he quickly looked away from Tang Shui and looked at Zhao Xiaojing in surprise. "So soon, didn't you just hear from the old lady that you came to Jiangcheng last month?"
“Yes, I have been setting up the stall for almost a month. This time I just happened to find a suitable store. I thought that I would open a store eventually, so the sooner I open it, the sooner I can get it fixed.
It's near the Geological University in Qingjiang District. There is a Pantai Community there. The store is on the corner of the street as you enter the Pantai Community. I will send you the location when the time comes.
I have rented a night market stall for the soup and have let a college student sell it. I am going to make rice with gravy and braise some snacks. As for the fried skewers, I will wait and see when I recruit people. I mainly cook and cannot take care of the fried skewers. "Zhao Xiaojing said.
"Where is it at the University of Geology?" Wen Jin slapped his thigh when he heard that, and even stopped eating the sugar water. "That's convenient, I don't have to eat nasty takeout!"
"Oh, you finally found the meal time. From now on, mom can finally have some peace and quiet and no longer have to listen to your complaints every day!" Wen Yulan smiled and glanced at Wen Jin.
"Uncle Wen lives very close to me?" Zhao Xiaojing asked in surprise when she saw this reaction.
