Chapter 109 Invite to dinner
When Jiang Weinan reached the door, he stopped, straightened his clothes, confirmed that everything was correct, then took a deep breath and walked to the door.
Seeing Xie Jiaojiao sitting on the doorstep of his house, thinking about something, she was dressed differently today. Unlike the usual country girl, she was wearing a pink dress today. She usually wore coarse linen clothes, and her clothes were all dark in color. Jiang Weinan coughed lightly.
Xie Jiaojiao immediately turned around and stood up, looking at him: "You're here."
Jiang Weinan saw that she had only changed her clothes today, but she looked better than before. Perhaps because she had been working hard for many years, her skin was not as white as those girls from wealthy families, but it was still okay.
"Are you looking for me?"
Xie Jiaojiao nodded: "I've been waiting for you for a long time."
Jiang Weinan was a little embarrassed.
Xie Jiaojiao was fine.
I walked up to him and asked, "Are you home alone today?"
"There's no one else in this house!"
Xie Jiaojiao nodded. She had just seen someone coming out of the house and had asked around. It seemed that Jiang Weinan was the only one living in the Jiang family's house.
"Are you free today?" Xie Jiaojiao asked Jiang Weinan.
When she asked this, Jiang Weinan threw back a strand of hair on his forehead and said, "This young master is very busy every day..."
But before he could finish what he was saying, Xie Jiaojiao said, "Since you are busy, I will leave first."
Xie Jiaojiao turned and left.
Jiang Weinan hurriedly grabbed her shoulders and said, "I'm free today! I'm free!"
"Aren't you busy every day?"
Jiang Weinan wanted to slap himself twice.
"I think you are just stubborn!" Xie Jiaojiao looked at him with her arms folded.
Jiang Weinan turned his head and said, "What do you want from me, young master?"
Xie Jiaojiao grabbed his arm.
"Just follow me!"
Jiang Weinan was pulled to the entrance of Qingfeng Tower by Xie Jiaojiao.
Jiang Weinan frowned: "Why did you bring me here?"
Xie Jiaojiao stepped in.
Jiang Weinan immediately followed, and when he saw Shopkeeper Chen, he winked at him.
Shopkeeper Chen could not understand what he meant.
But what surprised him even more was why the young master was in town at this time!
"Thank you, Miss Jiang!"
Xie Jiaojiao smiled and bowed to Shopkeeper Chen: "Shopkeeper Chen, can I borrow your kitchen for a while?"
Shopkeeper Chen immediately made a gesture of invitation.
Xie Jiaojiao turned back to Jiang Weinan and said, "Why don't you go upstairs and find a private room?"
Jiang Weinan looked at her: "You want to treat me to a meal?"
Xie Jiaojiao nodded.
Then went to the kitchen.
Jiang Weinan also wanted to follow, but Xie Jiaojiao waved at him: "Go upstairs, it will be over in a moment!"
Jiang Weinan went upstairs reluctantly.
Shopkeeper Chen immediately followed and went to the private room. While pouring tea for Jiang Weinan, he asked gossipingly, "Why is the young master in town today, and why is he with Miss Xie?"
Jiang Weinan glanced at him, and Shopkeeper Chen immediately fell silent.
Then he stepped back and went to the kitchen himself.
Xie Jiaojiao is not really good at cooking, but in the past, she saw her dad and grandma cooking quite a lot.
"Thank you, Miss." Shopkeeper Chen came forward.
"Shopkeeper Chen, I hope this doesn't affect your business?"
"No, no, today is the Lantern Festival, there isn't much business."
"Miss Xie, do you want to cook for Master Jiang?"
Xie Jiaojiao nodded: "He treated me to a meal, so I will treat him to a meal as well."
When did the young master invite Miss Xie to dinner?
Shopkeeper Chen was puzzled.
Xie Jiaojiao fried two dishes in no time, but when she tasted them, she was disgusted.
Shopkeeper Chen watched from the side: "How about asking Chef Li to make two for you?"
Xie Jiaojiao nodded immediately: "That's fine!"
Chef Li had seen her wasting food and wanted to help, so he immediately followed the order and started working.
Seeing the glutinous rice flour nearby, Xie Jiaojiao started to work again. Although she was not good at cooking, she knew how to make glutinous rice balls, also known as Yuanxiao. In the past, she used to make them with her family during the Chinese New Year.
Seeing there were peanuts in the kitchen, I used a stone mortar to grind them into fine powder and put them into the brown sugar in the kitchen.
This was the first time that Shopkeeper Chen had seen her behave like this.
Chef Li’s dish will be ready soon, and Xie Jiaojiao’s dumplings are almost ready too.
Xie Jiaojiao left some in the kitchen and gave Chef Li a penny to thank him for his help. Then she took the serving board and brought the food to the private room upstairs.
Jiang Weinan was already tired of waiting.
"If you don't come, I'll go find you in the kitchen!"
Xie Jiaojiao smiled and said, "I've been waiting for a long time!"
Jiang Weinan pursed his lips and said nothing. It was clearly she who asked him to come out, and after he came out, she left him alone upstairs and waited for him for so long.
Xie Jiaojiao put out the dumplings and dishes.
"You did it all?"
"Only the glutinous rice balls were made by me, the rest of the dishes were made by Chef Li!"
Jiang Weinan immediately looked at the glutinous rice balls in front of him.
"Would you like to try it?"
Jiang Weinan then lowered his head and scooped one with the white porcelain spoon in the bowl.
"Be careful with your mouth!"
Before Xie Jiaojiao finished speaking, Jiang Weinan had already been scalded.
Xie Jiaojiao looked at him grimacing from the burns, shielding her face with the serving board, and couldn't help but secretly laughing twice.
Jiang Weinan was a little embarrassed.
But in the end he swallowed what was in his mouth, so he didn't taste anything at all!
"You won't sit down?"
Xie Jiaojiao shook her head: "You treated me to snacks yesterday, and I'll treat you to a meal today, so we're even now."
After Xie Jiaojiao finished speaking, she put her things down and prepared to leave.
Jiang Weinan immediately became unhappy. Not only was he unhappy in his heart, but also in his eyes and his entire body.
"Xie Jiaojiao, do you have to do this every time I give you something?"
"Is there anything wrong?"
Jiang Weinan didn't like her look, so he stood up and said angrily, "We're going to get married in four months!"
When it comes to this, Xie Jiaojiao immediately said: "Master Jiang, you have been making a fuss for so long! In fact, I also know that you said you wanted to marry me just to torture me in the future, right? But you see, it has been so long, and there is no deep hatred between us. There is really no need to use your lifelong happiness to argue with a small person like me, right?"
"What do you mean?" Jiang Weinan stared at Xie Jiaojiao.
"It's already now, you still want to cancel the engagement?"
Xie Jiaojiao nodded: "There is too much disparity between our statuses. You are the eldest young master, and I am just a peasant girl. I am really not a good match for you!"
Just listen to a snap!
Jiang Weinan threw the spoon in his hand to the ground and smashed it!
Jiang Weinan stood up, ignored her, and walked away.
When the door was opened, Shopkeeper Chen outside was embarrassed.
"Jiang Weinan you..." Xie Jiaojiao wanted to call him, but Jiang Weinan had already walked away.
Xie Jiaojiao put down the serving board and hurriedly chased after him.
Shopkeeper Chen was standing behind them, jumping up and down anxiously: "Oh, Miss Xie, why can't she understand the good intentions of her young master!"
Xie Jiaojiao caught up with Jiang Weinan and said, "How could you rush forward just after saying a few words!" Like a little child.
Jiang Weinan looked at her: "Xie Jiaojiao! Do you really not understand or are you pretending not to understand?"
Xie Jiaojiao also looked at him: "Could it be that you really like me and want to marry me?"
Jiang Weinan's forehead veins popped out: "That's right! I just like you! I want to marry you!"
