Chapter 197 Look down on
Chapter 197 Look down on
I haven't cooked at home for a long time.
The food in the cafeteria is good, but after eating too much, I always feel that it doesn’t taste like home.
After Jiang Ning came back from the second field, he went to the market, took out a rabbit that had just been slaughtered, and some mutton, and brought them back to ask Feng Xue to cook. He was responsible for taking care of the children. The weather was not very good today, and it was impossible to go out.
Can only play in the living room.
Jiang Ning poured out the toys and played with the little guy.
Ever since the little one was born, Feng Yu and Feng Xue's online shopping volume has increased dramatically. The guard has to deliver express packages several times a day, either clothes or various toys for the little one.
A large storage box is also specially prepared for toys.
It is said that the toys for the little ones alone cost tens of thousands of dollars.
The clothes Feng Yu and Feng Xue buy are very expensive.
When buying toys for the little ones, he never thinks they are too expensive and always buys the expensive ones.
The little guy was holding an Easter egg and looking at it over and over again.
Seems very curious about the colors above.
Jiang Ning was having a lot of fun playing with airplanes. His family was not well off when he was a child, and no one bought him these toys. There were no such things as remote-controlled airplanes in that era, and the little guy did not know how to play with such high-end toys.
It's just a good deal for him.
The plane was buzzing.
The little guy looked up from time to time.
Then he stretched out his little hands and cried out.
Jiang Ning gave her the controller, but the little girl had no idea how to operate it.
After a series of random button presses, the plane crashed directly to the ground.
When lunch was almost ready, Feng Yu came back from get off work.
I also brought back some rice from the cafeteria.
I put the little one on the dining chair and gave her a piece of meatless lamb bone to chew on.
Grind your teeth by the way.
The rice in the canteen is also very good. Ever since Jiang Ning said that the rice cooked in the canteen was not tasty, the canteen made improvements and made a set of special steamers for steaming rice. After continuous improvements, the steamed rice is no worse than the rice steamed by Feng Xue.
People in the cafeteria also have self-esteem.
In the past, we just lived a carefree life and were content as long as the food we cooked was edible.
As for people talking nonsense, let them talk as they please!
In the past two years, I have gradually developed a sense of ownership and can't stand hearing employees say that the food in the cafeteria is not good.
I especially can't stand hearing Boss Jiang say that the food in the cafeteria is not as good as Feng Xue's.
There is no way to cook, as everyone comes when it’s time for dinner.
It is already the best you can do if you can stir-fry in a small pot instead of eating from a big pot. It is impossible to slow-cook over low heat and do the work carefully. You can only put more effort into the staple food and make it so that Boss Jiang can't find fault with it. Don't always think that the people in the cafeteria don't work hard.
Maybe if you are in a better mood, you can give me a bigger bonus at the end of the year.
While eating, Feng Yu said, "I heard that a lot of people were arrested in the second field?"
Jiang Ning was quite surprised: "How did you know?"
Feng Yu said: "Now if there is any movement in the Second Field, it will be spread to all units immediately. The husband of a teacher in our school is in the Second Field. He said that you lost your temper and directly called the Economic Investigation Bureau to arrest you."
Jiang Ning said: "We caught quite a few."
Feng Yu was very curious: "How did you find out that someone was embezzling money?"
Jiang Ning said: "Jiang Ze and Jiang Wei told me that Zhao Fangping probably offended them."
Feng Yu asked: "Are you really greedy?"
Jiang Ning nodded: "He is greedy. I must investigate and confirm it. Otherwise, how can I ask the economic investigation department to arrest him?"
Feng Yu sighed a little: "People's hearts are never satisfied."
Jiang Ning said: "There is no end to desire, it just depends on whether it is worth it. There is a logic behind all actions. In one case, the salary is high and the treatment is good. Lao Yang is also very strict. No one dares to take the risk of being kicked out to take advantage of that little bit. The second case is different. The personnel of the joint-stock company are very complicated. Everyone has their own little thoughts. The management is not as brave as Lao Yang and is not afraid of offending people. It is inevitable that something will happen. The old saying is really true. It is easy to get thousands of troops, but it is hard to get a general!"
Feng Yu didn't say anything more about this, and said, "I'm going to Qi Ze the day after tomorrow."
Jiang Ning asked: "Why go to Qi Ze?"
Feng Xue also pricked up his ears.
Feng Yu said: "There is an exchange activity in the education system, and some teachers are selected to participate in the exchange. I was also selected."
Jiang Ning was puzzled: "Why would he hit you when he knew you had a child at home?"
Feng Yu was also puzzled: "I asked, and they said it was decided by the bureau."
Jiang Ning took out his phone and said, "I'll call and ask."
Feng Yu quickly stopped him: "Don't ask. It's not good to always ask for special treatment. It's not a big deal. I'll be back in a day."
Jiang Ning had no choice but to give up and said, "After dinner, you can sleep on the first floor for a while. My sister and I will take care of Tiantian."
Feng Yu nodded. When Jiang Ning was not back, Feng Xue would take care of the children at noon.
She wants to take a nap, otherwise she will be too sleepy in the afternoon.
After lunch, Feng Yu had lunch on the first floor.
Jiang Ning and Feng Xue carried the little one upstairs and played with him on the bed in the bedroom on the third floor.
After playing for a while, the little guy felt sleepy.
Feng Xue coaxed her to sleep.
Jiang Ning didn't sleep and went downstairs quietly.
He couldn't sleep and didn't know where to go in the middle of the day.
So I walked to my uncle's vegetable garden.
There was no one in the vegetable garden, but there were people busy in the vegetable garden next door.
Jiang Ning looked over and saw that they were several agricultural researchers from the farm.
Three researchers greeted him.
Jiang Ning asked, "Why are you guys here in the middle of the day instead of sleeping?"
Researcher Zhang Bo is thirty years old. He wears a pair of glasses and looks very gentle. He pushed his glasses and said, "It's not a habit. Let's take a look at the experimental species. It has grown very fast recently. I just measured it and it has grown to 1.3 meters."
Jiang Ning looked at the wheat that didn't look like wheat and asked, "Is this still wheat?"
Zhang Bo affirmed: "Of course, we have taken samples for experimental analysis. It is definitely wheat, but the specific ingredients have changed a little. The gluten protein content has increased significantly. However, the specific data cannot be measured due to lack of equipment. I suggest that the farm purchase a batch of relevant experimental equipment so that the laboratory can obtain detailed data."
Jiang Ning asked directly: "What equipment do you need and how much does it cost?"
Zhang Bo is a homebody. He said directly, "We need a UV-visible spectrophotometer for quantitative analysis to detect the chemical composition content in the grain. A good one costs hundreds of thousands, and an average one costs 70,000 to 80,000. We also need an atomic absorption spectrometer to detect trace elements in the grain. The cheap equipment is not easy to use, so we have to import it, which costs about 4 to 5 million."
Jiang Ning was instantly annoyed: "What the hell, buying such expensive equipment just to detect trace elements in food?"
"This……"
Zhang Bo was stunned for a moment, and could only say: "If it doesn't work, 70,000 or 80,000 yuan will do."
Jiang Ning didn't make a decision in a hurry and looked at the wheat first.
These wheats are not ordinary wheats, but experimental varieties.
Plants can also mutate, and genetic mutation can bring many benefits, such as hybrid rice, triploid seedless watermelon, octoploid triticale, etc. The wheat grown on the farm can also mutate. Some of the wheat planted last year grew particularly tall later.
The wheat grains are also larger than ordinary wheat.
The researchers kept the sample for study.
This year we selected and planted more seeds, and there were more variations.
A few researchers had nothing to do, so they simply set up an experimental field in the vegetable garden and planted these mutated wheats. The wheat planted at the end of July has now grown to a height of 1.3 meters. It has not yet produced ears of wheat, but the wheat stalks look very strong.
It has grown as thick as chopsticks.
Wheat as thick as chopsticks, this is not wheat at all.
It looks like pockmarks no matter how you look at it.
The ultimate outcome of plant mutations cannot be predicted.
But as it stands, although this thing has mutated to not look like wheat, it is actually still wheat. It has not mutated and evolved into other species. As for what its function is, it is still unknown and we have to study it to find out.
Jiang Ning turned around and left.
Feng Yu just went to sleep before returning to the villa to drive.
Driving would probably wake Feng Yu up.
Jiang Ning called a patrol car and asked it to take him to the office building.
There is no one in the office building for two hours at noon.
Everyone goes home to eat and take a nap.
I won't come so early.
Jiang Ning turned on the computer and surfed the Internet for a while.
I played Landlord again, but after just a few rounds I lost all my money and was not allowed to play anymore.
I had to recharge and buy 100 yuan worth of beans, but I lost all of them by the time I got to work.
After Lao Yang came over, I discussed it with him.
Although I felt bad about it, I still decided to buy imported equipment for several researchers.
The things used in experiments cannot be compromised, otherwise the results will be far from perfect.
The few cheap devices he bought before taught him a lesson.
This is fucking bullshit.
I called to ask and found out that Feng Yu had already gone to work.
Jiang Ning was just wondering where to go when the county called again.
Let him go there.
After he left, Lao Yang organized an integrity meeting for the management.
Old Yang had already heard about what happened in the second match in the morning.
In order to nip the problem in the bud, it is very necessary to sound the alarm for the management and some key personnel. Don't let them take money that they shouldn't take just for a little profit, otherwise there will be no mercy.
The old man gave a serious warning.
No one cares.
When it comes to things like corruption, the key is whether you want to do it or not.
If you want to make money through illegal means, you can always find opportunities.
The salary is not low, the year-end bonus is generous, and Mr. Yang is quite strict.
No one would take the risk, otherwise it would be a huge loss.
The county called Jiang Ning because of this matter.
The two shows are different from each other, and many people are on secondment.
It is more troublesome to deal with.
Jiang Ning’s attitude is clear: those who should be sentenced will be sentenced, and those who should have their hands chopped off will have their hands chopped off.
It is only natural to be beaten for making mistakes.
Two days later, Feng Yu followed the exchange group to Qi Ze.
I finally waited until the weekend, but my time was occupied again.
Jiang Ning was too tired to complain and stayed at home taking care of the baby with Feng Xue.
The sky is blue and the autumn wind has not yet begun to blow.
The farm is still green and shaded by trees, and the weather is just right.
It’s not too hot, much more comfortable than July.
Jiang Ning opened a parasol and spread out a mat.
She was lying on the mat with her legs crossed, her hands behind her head, humming the nursery rhyme she had just learned. The little girl was sitting one meter away, surrounded by all kinds of toys, too big to hold with her two little hands. Feng Xue was sitting behind her, playing with toys with the little girl.
At ten o'clock, the little guy didn't want to play anymore.
Climb into mother's arms and lie down comfortably.
It's time to go to bed.
Feng Xue carried her upstairs and coaxed her to sleep.
After a while, when the little guy fell asleep.
Feng Xue came down and asked Jiang Ning how he was going to eat lunch.
Jiang Ning waved her hand: "Come here, sister."
Feng Xue came over, stood beside him and asked him what was the matter using sign language.
Jiang Ning patted the person beside him and said, "Come sit here, I want to talk to you."
Feng Xue was sitting on the mat, more than one meter away from him.
Jiang Ning patted him again: "Sit closer."
Feng Xue moved forward and sat next to him.
Jiang Ning stretched out his hand: "Give me your hand." Feng Xue stretched out his hand.
Jiang Ning held her hand and asked, "Sister, let me ask you a question."
Feng Xue looked at him.
"If you could speak, what would the first thing you want to say?"
Feng Xue shook her head, a little confused.
Obviously she hadn't thought about it.
"Let's go on vacation to Europe during the winter break."
Feng Xue used sign language to ask him to ask Feng Yu.
"I have discussed with her that she will take Tiantian to Sanya during the winter vacation, and let my parents and sister-in-law go there as well. They will spend the winter in Sanya, and we will go to Europe. You haven't been to Europe yet."
Feng Xue lowered his head, feeling embarrassed.
"Go to Europe first, and then I'll take you to the United States for surgery."
Feng Xue nodded.
"That place in Europe is just so-so, with antiques everywhere. It's not as good as Bei'an County, but some of the things there are different. It's still worth a visit. The only problem is that there has been a war in the past two years, and I heard that they can't afford heating, so it will be quite cold in the winter."
Feng Xue still nodded.
"Africa is not bad, the natural scenery is very nice, but it's a bit messy. Now you and Feng Yu can't leave. Wait for a few years and when Tiantian is older, I will take you to the African savannah."
Feng Xue continued to nod.
Said the conversation.
Jiang Ning got up and went to the cafeteria, packed some food and had a meal with Feng Xue.
Jiang Ning had no plan to go out in the afternoon.
I was very surprised to suddenly receive a call from Li Cunxi.
I haven’t seen this second generation for more than half a year. I only saw him once when I went to the provincial capital after the New Year.
Li Cunxi wants to eat his mutton and will come over later.
Jiang Ning made a phone call and asked someone to slaughter a sheep and send it over.
There is actually mutton in the cafeteria. Several sheep were slaughtered yesterday and it is impossible to eat it all in one meal.
The rest goes in the freezer.
But as for mutton, Jiang Ning doesn't want to eat frozen one since fresh mutton can be eaten.
Had someone slaughter a black-headed sheep and had the meat skewered and sent over.
I also chopped off a front leg and some lamb chops for stewing.
The black-headed sheep bought from Xinjiang in July were raised on the ranch for two months. They were fat and strong, just right for eating meat. However, this kind of sheep is not suitable for stir-frying. Feng Xue has tried it several times, but none of them is as delicious as the stir-fried beach sheep from Bei'an.
It will destroy the original aroma of the mutton.
But the barbecue and stew are the best.
Especially the sheep tail oil, it is really delicious when cooked.
Even Feng Yu and Feng Xue, who don't eat fatty meat, can eat a few skewers.
Jiang Ning took the outdoor table and chairs and placed them under the parasol.
While I was busy, I heard a roar in the distance.
After a while, a helicopter flew over.
I went up to the rooftop to say hello, and the helicopter circled for a while.
It didn't fly directly to the villa, but circled from the west and flew to the office building.
After a while, the patrol car brought the person over.
When he got out of the car, he asked, "Did you disturb your daughter?"
Jiang Ning said: "He is still sleeping, so I guess he was not woken up."
"That's good!"
Li Cunxi sat down on the side and sighed: "You are still living a comfortable life."
Jiang Ning asked: "Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
Li Cunxi said, "What a waste of comfort. I just eat and wait for death. I can't do anything. If I want to do something, I can't do this or that. I have to consider the impact, keep a low profile, and don't let my father down. What's the point of living?"
Jiang Ning said, "I want to just eat and wait for death, but my father doesn't work hard, so I can only struggle on my own. If you want to do things for yourself, then go out and see the world. If you can't do it in your hometown, can't you do things outside?"
Li Cunxi said: "It's not that easy to get things done outside. Without connections and strength, you can't do anything."
Jiang Ning poured him a cup of tea and said, "So you are just whining for no reason. What you said is all nonsense."
Li Cunxi was a little embarrassed. Apart from the elders, few people would humiliate him like this. However, he knew something about Jiang Ning, so he couldn't care less. He could only change the subject and said, "I'm leaving soon."
Jiang Ning asked: "Has your father been transferred?"
Li Cunxi nodded: "Tianxing Aviation is also going to be sold, do you want it?"
"do not want!"
Jiang Ning didn't even think about it: "Why would I need that thing? It doesn't make money."
Li Cunxi asked: "Don't you like playing with airplanes?"
Jiang Ning said, "I like playing with airplanes, but I'm not very interested in your little broken airplanes. If you can get me a fighter jet, I'd consider it. I haven't flown a fighter jet yet, and it should be more fun to fly."
Li Cunxi opened his mouth and said speechlessly: "You can't just play with that thing!"
Jiang Ning asked: "Is there anything else?"
Li Cunxi leaned forward and asked, "How many businesses do you have overseas?"
Jiang Ning was not surprised. There is no such thing as a wall that is impenetrable. He did not do anything secretive when buying land outside. It was not surprising that this second-generation man heard the news. He said, "A lot. Why? Do you want to build some business outside?"
Li Cunxi nodded and said, "I have this idea, but it's not easy to go out."
Jiang Ning asked: "Isn't it easy for you to get out with your ability?"
Li Cunxi shook his head: "Channels are risky, and if you don't handle it well, you might end up getting screwed."
Jiang Ning asked: "How much do you plan to go out?"
Li Cunxi held up three fingers: "I have so many."
Jiang Ning was quite surprised: "Why is there only so little?"
Li Cunxi said speechlessly: "Do you think my family runs a banknote printing factory? There is no easy money to be made these days."
Jiang Ning said: "You guys are just playing with a few dozen of them."
Li Cunxi said: "It's not as easy as you say. Most of them cannot be moved."
Jiang Ning nodded: "That's right."
Li Cunxi asked: "Can you help me exchange some US dollars?"
Jiang Ning said: "I can't help you. I also need that thing."
Li Cunxi was quite skeptical: "You buy land everywhere, how can you be short of US dollars?"
Jiang Ning said: "Of course we are short of money. Who doesn't need US dollars?"
Li Cunxi was not discouraged: "Help me get 30 million, and I will give you a building."
Jiang Ning sneered: "What use do I have for your shabby building?"
Li Cunxi said: "An office building in the core business district is worth at least 50 million."
Jiang Ning said: "Those bricks and cement are worth nothing. How can they be as valuable as my farm?"
Li Cunxi said that there was no way to refute it.
Xianling Farm is an outlier. This piece of land, which was originally worthless, is now of immeasurable value. Countless people are jealous of it. Some people had their eyes on it before, but many people disappeared inexplicably, and the aftermath has not subsided yet.
Compared with this land, sand and cement are indeed worthless.
Li Cunxi tried out his attitude and didn't say anything more about it.
After chatting for a while, the mutton was just delivered.
The little guy woke up too.
Feng Xue carried the child down, gave the child to her, and went back to the house to stew the meat.
Li Cunxi was quite surprised: "Your wife's sister is taking care of your children?"
Jiang Ning hummed: "Yes."
Li Cunxi asked: "Is everything alright at her home?"
Jiang Ning said: "This is her home."
Li Cunxi was stunned: "I don't quite understand, what does it mean?"
Jiang Ning said: "She is not married and lives with us."
Li Cunxi was quite surprised: "Not married?"
Jiang Ning nodded, not wanting to tell him this.
Li Cunxi rolled his eyes and didn't ask any more questions. He looked at the little girl enviously and said, "Your daughter is so cute."
Jiang Ning was immediately proud: "Of course, my baby can call me daddy when he is only six months old."
Li Cunxi didn't believe it: "That's bullshit. How can a six-month-old baby call daddy?"
Jiang Ning teased his daughter: "Good girl, call me daddy."
The little guy opened his mouth and shouted: "Eight eight!"
Jiang Ning was very happy: "Did you hear that? I would have known how to call it a long time ago."
Li Cunxi became more and more envious. Who wouldn’t like such a cute little guy?
It’s a pity that he is still single and doesn’t even have a wife!
Not to mention my daughter.
Jiang Ning put the little one on the mat and gave her a bunch of toys to play with.
Take out the oven and take out the sawn charcoal to make a fire.
Feng Xue stewed the meat and came out to sit aside and play with the little guy.
Jiang Ning grilled the meat and took out a skewer without any seasoning and gave it to Feng Xue to feed the child.
Sprinkle the remaining pieces with salt and chili powder and give a few skewers to Feng Xue first.
Then he shared the leftovers with Li Cunxi.
Li Cunxi tasted a bunch of them and commented: "Your mutton is still delicious. Once you eat it, you will never forget it. However, this meat doesn't seem to be from Bei'an. It's not the same as the mutton I ate last time."
Jiang Ning said: "This is a black-headed sheep bought specially from Western Xinjiang. It is most suitable for roasting and stewing."
Li Cunxi said as he ate the meat: "The Tan sheep from Ningxia and the Ujumchin sheep from Inner Mongolia are also very good. I've heard of this black-headed sheep before, but I've never eaten the authentic one. Is your black-headed sheep authentic?"
Jiang Ning said: "We just loaded the trucks and hauled them here directly from the grassland."
Li Cunxi enjoyed the meat more and more as he ate it: "This meat is really good. It is much better than the local mutton in Bei'an when roasted. However, the meat seems a little tender. It is okay if stewed. If boiled, it is probably not as tasty as the mutton in Bei'an."
Jiang Ning nodded: "It's best to stew it in a casserole. If you cook it for too long, it will lose its flavor. Bei'an's mutton has a strong flavor. The longer it is cooked, the more flavorful it becomes. It depends on how you eat it. If you want to eat barbecue, this mutton is the best."
A few dozen skewers of lamb are not much.
However, Li Cunxi was not good at eating meat and could not finish just a dozen skewers.
Most of the rest went into Jiang Ning's stomach, and Feng Xue didn't eat much either.
After the mutton was stewed, Feng Xue brought out the pot.
A large casserole specially used for stewing lamb, which contains both soup and meat.
Li Cunxi ate a few pieces of braised lamb chops and kept applauding.
Finally, I drank a bowl of mutton soup, but I was so full that I couldn't eat any more, so I stopped.
After eating and drinking, Feng Xue cleaned up the pots and dishes and went to wash them.
Jiang Ning looked at the child and had an argument with Li Cunxi.
Said a few words.
Li Cunxi asked: "Brother, can you help me?"
Jiang Ning asked: "What help?"
Li Cunxi said, "I think your wife's sister is a good match. Can you introduce her to me?"
"Ok?"
Jiang Ning's eyes were dangerous: "Don't bullshit."
Li Cunxi said: "I'm not kidding, I'm serious."
Jiang Ning said: "You have no chance, don't even think about it."
Li Cunxi was puzzled and asked, "How do you know I have no chance when you haven't even introduced me to anyone? I come from a good family, I'm pretty handsome, and I don't have any bad habits except that I love to play. How can I not be worthy of your wife's sister?"
Jiang Ning looked him up and down and said, "You're almost there."
Li Cunxi's face turned a little dark: "What's wrong with me?"
Jiang Ning said, "You second-generations are nothing good. What's so good about your family background? You didn't work hard to get it. You're just an unemployed vagrant. If you didn't rely on your father and worked hard to earn that family background with your own ability, I might look up to you. But if you tell me about your family background when you rely on your father, I will look down on you!"
Li Cunxi's face turned black after hearing this, but he had no way to refute.
