Chapter 1 Jiang Yang
In April, the weather in Rongcheng warms up, with a temperature of about [-] to [-] degrees.On the street, the people coming and going in a hurry are the same as before, except for the thinning clothes, there is no other difference.

The air in Rongcheng is not very good, and it once ranked first in the world. Of course, it was smog.

In recent years, Chengdu has developed very well, and the number of tourists visiting here is increasing day by day.It is said that Rongcheng is a leisure city, perhaps compared to Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, it is indeed leisure.

There are many foods in Rongcheng, and the people of Rongcheng are very good at eating.Like hot pot, skewers, barbecue...there are countless, here are what you have seen, what you have never seen, what you have eaten, and what you have never eaten.For those who like food, Rongcheng is a good place.

For outsiders, the life in Rongcheng is leisurely and enjoyable. There are endless delicacies here, you can see the national treasure giant panda, and you can go to Dujiangyan and Qingcheng Mountain.

For people living in this city, Rongcheng is not so friendly.The huge work pressure, the car, house and marriage that will crush you at any time, all of them are like hungry wolves, chasing you, not daring to stop even for a while.

Jiang Yang is one of such people.

Wearing a neatly pressed old suit without a trace of wrinkles.Jiang Yang submissively looked at the person in front of him.

This is a middle-aged man in a crisp, brand-new gray suit. Unlike Jiang Yang's gray-washed suit, this suit is extremely sophisticated in terms of workmanship, materials, and design.

Comb oily three to seven points, a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on the nose.

A pair of long and narrow eyes stared at the resume in his hand, a slight disdainful smile appeared on his lips, but he quickly covered it up.

"Mr. Jiang, we have read your resume, go back and wait for the notification." The man said with a formulaic smile, handing the resume back to Jiang Yang.

Jiang Yang's face froze. He had heard these words countless times, and it probably meant a polite refusal.Standing here... Jiang Yang was suddenly a little embarrassed. He said thank you to the middle-aged man, and fled away.

After leaving the door, Jiang Yang did not leave.He still has to wait for one person, his younger brother, who also came to this company for an interview.

It's just that the two interviewed for different positions, and they didn't interview in the same room.

After waiting for about 10 minutes, Faxiao looked happy and walked towards Jiangyang excitedly.

"Yangzi, how's it going?" Fa Xiao came over and asked with his arms around Jiang Yang.

"Don't talk about me, how is your situation?" Jiang Yang didn't want to mention his embarrassment.

"Hey, what else can I do, say that I will come to the second interview next Tuesday." Fa Xiao said.

Jiang Yang was taken aback, did he really refuse?When he didn't hear a clear answer, Jiang Yang still had a glimmer of hope. Maybe what others said was not rejection?But now, Fa Xiao's words shattered his last sliver of hope, and involuntarily, a trace of bitterness appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Let's go, to celebrate your successful interview, I'll cook two dishes for you tonight." Jiang Yang put away the bitterness in the corner of his mouth, and said to Fa Xiao with a smile.

"Hey, that's a good relationship. I just want to eat your fried dishes." Fa Xiao said with a smile in his eyes.

Neither of them talked about the interview anymore, but discussed what to eat for dinner.The two took the subway to go back. The subway in Rongcheng has developed rapidly in recent years, and almost most places can be reached by subway.If you can’t get there, you can get there by taking the bus after getting off the subway.

Jiang Yang is an orphan, not born an orphan.Before he was in high school, he still lived in a happy family.However, a car accident changed Jiang Yang's life. His parents went on a trip, but a car accident happened.

Jiang Yang, who was still a sophomore in high school at the time, lived like a walking dead for two months after hearing the news.If he hadn't been taking care of him since he was a child, I'm afraid he wouldn't have passed two months.

At that time, Jiang Yang only felt that the world was gloomy, with no color in anything, and he was not interested in anything, even his favorite basketball at that time and the girl he had a crush on in class.

Fortunately, he survived, but his grades plummeted.

From the top ten in the grade at that time to the bottom one in the grade, I worked hard in the third year of high school and barely got a second grade.

Jiang Yang and Fa Xiao returned to the place where Jiang Yang lived - a shop.This is one of the few things his parents left him.

The savings of his parents and the compensation for the accident have almost been used for his studies in these years.

When he was in college, Jiang Yang worked part-time as a part-time job and saved some money, although not much.

This shop belongs to Jiang Yang himself, and it is also left by his parents.Although he didn't open a shop again, he still cleaned it from time to time. He was afraid that if the shop became dilapidated, he wouldn't even have a place to remember it.

His parents used to run a restaurant, his father cooked good dishes, and his mother was eloquent.The two worked hard, and their lives were prosperous.

After making money, my parents took over the shop, saying that it was much more at ease than renting other people's shops.

Jiang Yang touched the dining tables in the shop. He still remembered the tables and chairs that his parents had personally selected.It was they who arranged it themselves, and then happily opened the store.

On these tables, it seems that the mother's tenderness and father's smile still remain.

For a while, Jiang Yang couldn't help falling into memories again.

"Yangzi? Yangzi?" After screaming several times, Jiang Yang woke up from his memories.

He looked at Fa Xiao apologetically, a little embarrassed.Knowing Jiang Yang's situation, Fa Xiao waved his hand and said, "What do you eat? I'm going to buy vegetables."

Jiang Yang calmed down, looked at the sky, and said, "I'll go buy it. You haven't bought vegetables much, so what if you can't buy them?"

When Fa Xiao heard it, he felt the same in his heart. He really didn't buy much, so he replied: "That's fine, then let's go together."

Jiang Yang didn't insist on going alone, and nodded in agreement.

The two carried a vegetable basket and walked towards the nearby vegetable market.

Jiang Yang still remembered that at that time... his father was riding a tricycle, and he was carrying a vegetable basket, and followed his father to the vegetable market to buy vegetables.

At that time, my mother always felt sorry for herself and didn't want to carry the vegetable basket by herself.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yang felt both funny and sad, and his eyes couldn't help but feel a little bit astringent.

"What's wrong with you?" Fa Xiao glanced at Jiang Yang and said.

"No, it's a bit dusty today." Jiang Yang replied.

Fa Xiao didn't speak, and the two of them walked to the vegetable market in silence.

Nowadays, the vegetable market has been standardized a lot. Those who sell vegetables are in one district, those who sell meat are in another district, and those who sell fish and seafood are in another district.

Jiang Yang is no stranger to this place, after all, he often comes back to live here.Eating out is too expensive, so I often buy vegetables to cook.

Fa Xiao counted the dishes for tonight, muttering where to buy them.Jiang Yang smiled slightly. In fact, the dishes tonight are not complicated, they are home-cooked dishes.

They are shredded pork with fish flavor, white meat with garlic paste, sweet and sour pork ribs and stir-fried vegetables.

Fish-flavored shredded pork Jiangyang buys pork tenderloin, which is relatively tender meat with a good taste, and it is perfect for frying fish-flavored shredded pork.

The fungus is bought fresh, if you buy dried fungus, then you don’t know when to eat tonight.

The lettuce Jiang Yang deliberately picked a small one. If it is too big, there will not be so much fish-flavored shredded pork.

Garlic white meat is considered the best material to buy, and only this part of the pork is the most suitable for making garlic white meat.Because the two-knife meat has distinct layers, it is not easy to separate, and the fat and thin are just right.

The sweet and sour pork ribs Jiang Yang chooses are the middle row, which is not too much meat, just right, suitable for making sweet and sour pork ribs.

Stir-fried green vegetables are a bit difficult for Jiang Yang. At this time, all kinds of green vegetables have not yet reached the market season, but now the science and technology are advanced, there are greenhouse vegetables, and there are all kinds of vegetables you want to eat.

The two struggled for a while, and finally bought two picks, which are the tenderest part of the sweet potato vine.In the past, no one would eat this stuff, but it was used to feed pigs.Jiang Yang remembers that in the countryside at that time, stacks of sweet potato vines were cut into small pieces of about one centimeter with a knife, and then used in a very large plastic bag (there are special ones sold on the street, which are used to hold sweet potatoes) vines), seal it up, let it ferment, and wait until the sweet potato vines inside become sour and smelly, and then scoop it out and feed it to the pigs.

Unexpectedly, what was fed to pigs in the past has now become an expensive vegetable.Jiang Yang bought two for 9 yuan, one for four and five yuan, each weighing about half a catty.

Jiang Yang thought about it, and went to buy some Erjingtiao chili peppers to use for stir-frying Tiaojian.

After buying the food, the two of them didn't stay any longer. They bought a few bottles of beer at the canteen and went back.

The seasonings are complete in Jiangyang. After all, I am also cooking and eating, so the seasonings are still ready.And subconsciously, Jiang Yang made up all the seasonings his father used when he was there, so that if they were gone, he would add them in time.

It's not easy to sit and play alone when you are young, so go to the kitchen together to help Jiang Yang.

While in the kitchen, Jiang Yang felt particularly at ease, but faintly repulsed.
