"Grandpa!"
Xia Jie shouted when he saw the old man smoking at the door from afar.
"Yes, I'm coming!"
Seeing his precious grandson come over, the silver-haired but spirited Xia Changjiang tapped his pipe, and the wrinkles on his face relaxed.
The black dog that was originally lying at the door also came over, shaking its head and wagging its tail.
"Grandpa, look, this is the eel I caught yesterday. I burned it this afternoon. I'll drink with you.”
After parking the car, Xia Jie picked up the bucket and patted Black.
Psychic Art, activate!
"Woof woof!"
Black stuck out its tongue and licked its little master's hand, its eyes fixed on the pork belly.
Eh, it seems that Big Black has no intelligence!
Xia Jie muttered to himself.
"Jie, there's a cut watermelon in the house. Go and eat two pieces first.”
As he spoke, Xia Changhe reached out to take the bucket.
His son was busy with his business in the city and rarely came back except during the holidays.
Now that his grandson could come back to accompany him, the old man was naturally very happy.
To an old man, wasn't it just for companionship?
"There's no need, Grandpa. Go back to the house and rest. I'll do it.”
Xia Jie pushed the old man into the house, then quickly walked into the kitchen with a bucket and the pork belly he bought on the way.
Xia Jie had lived with his grandfather since he was young. Not only did he learn carpentry from his grandfather, but he also learned how to cook early on.
Although the dishes were not as stylish as those of high-end restaurants, weren't authentic local dishes the most popular among the public now?
Xia Jie first blanched the pork belly with the skin in hot water, then cut it into pieces and continued to cook.
Following that, he quickly killed the eels, washed them, and cut them into pieces.
He poured oil into the iron pot. After it was heated up, he added ginger slices and minced garlic and fried them. Then, he threw the eel into the pot and added seasoning to stir-fry it.
Then, he put the half-cooked meat into the pot, added cooking wine and dark soya sauce, poured two ladles of water, and began to stew.
This dish would take some time, so he could not rush it.
Xia Jie naturally wouldn't just wait around. He went to have a drink with the old man.
"Grandpa, the dishes still need to be cooked. Let's eat first.”
"Good, good, good."
As the old man spoke, he picked up the cover on the table.
There was a plate of crisp cucumber, a plate of black and white preserved egg mixed with tofu, and two cold dishes.
There were also two hot dishes, braised fish and fried kidney. They were both home-cooked dishes that Xia Jie liked to eat.
Picking up the half bottle of Gu Chuan on the table, Xia Jie poured half a cup for the old man and himself before sitting down.
"Jie, how are you doing? Do you need grandpa to help?”
Xia Changjiang took a sip of wine and asked.
"It's okay. There's nothing in the old mansion, and it's convenient to pack up. You don't have to go over.”
Xia Jie waved his hand and said with a smile.
"By the way, take this card. The password is your birthday.”
After eating two mouthfuls of food, Xia Changjiang took out a bank card from his pocket and handed it over.
"Grandpa, this is…"
Xia Jie was slightly stunned.
"There's 100,000 yuan in the card. Grandpa saved it for your wedding. Since you're going to start a farmhouse now, you'll definitely need to spend money.”
Xia Changjiang said with concern.
"Grandpa, my dad has already paid. Besides, I'm running a farmhouse, not a big hotel. I just need to repair the old house and make it clean. It won't cost much!”
"You should keep this money for yourself.”
Xia Jie pushed the bank card back without hesitation.
The old master had worked hard all his life. He should be enjoying life now. How could he still ask him to pay?
"Listen to Grandpa. Take it. I'll give you the money sooner or later anyway.”
Xia Changjiang said seriously with a straight face.
"Alright, alright. Grandpa, I'll keep it for now. I'll keep it for you!”
Seeing this, Xia Jie stopped arguing and took the bank card.
The old master had always been a man of his word. Once he decided on something, there was no going back.
After drinking two glasses of wine, the aroma of wine wafted from the stove.
Stewed eel with braised meat was ready.
After sprinkling some white sugar and pepper, Xia Jie took a basin and served the original taste on the table.
"Grandpa, try it. How does it taste?”
Xia Jie picked up a piece of eel and gave it to the old man.
"Hmm, not bad, not bad. It's delicious!”
Xia Changhe ate a few pieces and nodded repeatedly.
The eel was crispy but not rotten, just right. The pork belly was fragrant and delicious, melting in the mouth.
His grandson's culinary skills were amazing. In the future, whoever's daughter married him would be able to enjoy a good life!
The old man looked at Xia Jie with even more anticipation.
The grandfather and grandson were drinking wine and chatting about their daily life. However, because of his live broadcast, there was a wave of heat on the Internet.
When Xia Jie was livestreaming in the morning, there weren't many viewers. Even with the white snake and wild ginseng, it didn't increase his popularity by much.
However, some busybodies changed the title of the live broadcast video and forwarded it to B site. It immediately triggered a heated discussion among countless netizens.
The title was called " The White Python Kid."
The questions were quite tempting. When they went in to take a look, there was actually real material!
Countless netizens complained.
"I'll be honest. I've never seen a white python in my life, but I'm actually able to see it in the live broadcast room. The live broadcast is indeed amazing.”
"Host, where are you? The environment is not bad. I don't think it's worse than those 5A scenic spots! Seeing that bamboo forest, I inexplicably thought of crouching tigers and hidden dragons!”
"Tsk tsk, I suspect that the host knows magic, but there's no evidence!”
"Did Xu Xian save the White Lady in the same way back then?”
"This white python has intelligence. It actually knows how to repay kindness!”
"Whoa, I can actually dig up wild ginseng. Is the host in Changbai Mountain?”
"A fifth-grade leaf! If this is really wild ginseng, it can be sold for at least a few hundred thousand. The streamer is rich!”
"There are indeed treasures in the mountains. I'll go up the mountain to search for treasures tomorrow!”
Of course, there were some who praised him, but there were also some who doubted him!
"According to my many years of experience watching movies, this might be a trick. This snake might have been tamed by the streamer!”
"Yes, this streamer must have spent a lot of money for this live broadcast. That white python is so realistic!”
"To be able to dig up wild ginseng just by casually going up the mountain, this is even harder than winning five million. Even if you step on dog shit outside, you won't be so lucky!”
"I think the streamer is just trying to please the crowd. It's actually all planned out!”
Thus, they were clearly divided into two factions, noisy and lively.
Of course, most of them were supporters, and the opposition was mostly quarrelsome!
Along the way, Xia Jie's live stream was also followed by many curious netizens, and his popularity soared.
After sharing half a bottle of wine with the old man, Xia Jie scooped two bowls of rice. Just as he was about to eat, a crisp sound suddenly sounded in his mind.
"Ding!"
"Congratulations to the host for breaking through 1000 popularity points in the live broadcast room and obtaining a lucky draw ticket!”
Eh…
What was going on?
I didn't start a live broadcast at the moment. How can my popularity skyrocket?
Xia Jie was a little confused.
