Farmhouse Senda

Chapter 12 Private Family Dinner
Chen Xiuzhi has planted several acres of watermelon in the southern land, and trimming the melon seedlings is a laborious and laborious work. It takes patience and care to pinch off the excess melon seedling heads, so as to maintain the nutrients and vitality of the whole watermelon vine, and only then can it grow. out more watermelons.

It was almost noon, and I came back to wash my hands and prepare to cook.His son Li Qingyun went fishing and has not come back yet, he is a little worried.Just as he was about to ask her husband Li Chengwen to go out to look for it, he saw a group of people walked in from outside the gate, and his son was among them, chatting and laughing with a too beautiful young woman.

A beautiful woman is of course good, but she has a fox face and an enchanting figure that makes people blush and heartbeat. After all, it is not something that ordinary men can surrender.Chen Xiuzhi is very worried about her son. An ordinary and beautiful Qin Yao has silenced her son a lot. If she falls into the love network woven by more beautiful women, will she still hold her grandson in this life?
"Yaoer, these people are all your friends? I don't know why. Let me introduce you to my mother." Li Xiuzhi wiped her hands and greeted her enthusiastically.

Li Chengwen heard the movement in the room and ran out with a five-pound ceramic wine jar. After a closer look, he was stunned: "Isn't this Director Liu? Fuwa, why did you invite Director Liu to the house? Don't say anything beforehand? Dear guest, hurry up, please come in the room."

Director Liu shrank his body, kept walking behind Wu Xiaoyu, and said with a laugh: "Haha, Brother Li, you are too polite, what kind of honored guest am I? See clearly, this Mayor Wu is the real honored guest."

Li Chengwen shook his hand, and the wine jar almost fell to the ground.What a joke, usually the biggest official who comes to the house is the village chief. When has he ever been the chief of the police station, let alone the mayor.

"Please, please, please, please come to the house. Today, the fifth master of Fuwa brought a few jars of good wine, and you have a good time!" Li Chengwen was afraid of neglecting the distinguished guests, so he kept letting people into the house.

Wu Xiaoyu was very humble, and joked: "Uncle Li, don't listen to Director Liu, I'm not a distinguished guest. In fact, I'm an alumnus of Qingyun's school. He called me senior sister for a few years, and I shouldn't call you old. Uncle? Today I went to my younger brother's house to eat and drink, but I'm not a mayor."

"Yes, yes, today I don't talk about official positions, only about eating and drinking. Brother Li...cough, old Li, what kind of wine is this? It smells really good, and it reminds me of the wine bug in my stomach." Director Liu just said Called Brother Li, but Mayor Wu called Uncle, how could he dare to take advantage of the mayor?

"I'm not familiar with wine either. I just smelled the fragrance, so I couldn't help but pat the open seal and taste it. You guys are here before you drink it. Fuwa, have you caught any fish? No, I'll go to the Nandi Pond. How many nets are there?" I was too concerned about the guests just now, and hadn't paid attention to Li Qingyun.However, the bucket was in the hands of the driver Zhang Zhe. Zhang Zhe stood at the end, and no one noticed that the big fish fluttered in the bucket.

"Dad, you still don't know how good I am at fishing? When will I be empty-handed? Brother Zhang, open my dad's eyes with the fish..." Li Qingyun joked, activating a somewhat awkward atmosphere.

Zhang Zhe carried the bucket into the yard, dumped the fish on the ground, and thumped, and a few ferocious big fish jumped around.

Chen Xiuzhi's eyes lit up, and she shouted with a proud tone: "Ah, this is a golden catfish, this is a black fish, this is a red carp, an old turtle... Yao'er is so capable, he can catch so many big fish after going out for a while. fish!"

In front of beautiful women, you have to make a face for your son. No matter whether the beauty is the mayor of the town or the county magistrate, this is already a mother's habit.

Among these fish, only the golden catfish is the most rare, and the other fish are medium in Qinglong Town, and anyone who makes a net can catch a few.Common catfish with black back and white belly and golden yellow body is called golden catfish by locals. Some people say that it is the result of mutation, and some people say that it is a unique branch of catfish, and its nutritional value is several times higher than that of ordinary catfish.

Inviting the guests to speak in the living room of the main room, Li Qingyun went to the back room to check the loose wine samples sent by the fifth master, three bottles each of small sorghum wine, five grain wine, and corn wine, one bottle of five-year-old wine and one bottle of ten-year-old wine.The bottles are all earthenware products, with black glaze inside and outside, and the words "Li Family Secret Brew" on the bottle.The price tag was glued with scotch tape, and at a glance, the price was so low that it could only be described as cheap.Except for the corn wine, which tastes too rough, the other wines are good. Li Qingyun has drunk every kind of wine and knows the true value of this wine.

The reason why the fifth master sent the samples was mainly to find a reasonable pretense, hide the wine in his own small space without letting others know, and turn ordinary fine wine into a peerless wine.

Originally, he didn't give out corn-like wine, but it seems that Fifth Master couldn't hold back and wanted to show all his brewing results.The retail price is marked on the bottle, and it can be even cheaper if you wholesale in bulk.However, Li Qingyun didn't plan to lower the price any more. When he thought of storing wine, he also wanted to contribute to the winemaking business of the fifth grandpa's family.

But after buying the wine, all the money in Li Qingyun's bank card was gone, and some of his dreams had to be postponed.Unable to buy a house in the city, he wanted to build a beautiful house in the village.However, this matter cannot be rushed. It needs to be planned slowly. The premise is that parents can accept the fact that they have returned to the village to develop.

A well-known high-quality student in the town went home to farm, not to mention that it was difficult for his parents to accept, I am afraid that even the people in the village would say slander.Living in the countryside is easier said than done, but it is not easy.

Li Qingyun rubbed his chin and thought about it, feeling that he should do something first, so that his parents could feel light on their faces, and they could also block the mouths of the villagers.

At this moment, I suddenly heard a loud voice from the yard: "Oh, sister-in-law, what delicious food does my sister-in-law cook? The fragrance has drifted to my house, and my saliva is drooling. I can't help but come to see it. With a sister-in-law of [-]%, I will be happy. This dish is really rich, and there are guests? "

Chen Xiuzhi's tone is also very loud, talking while busy in the kitchen: "It's the village chief brother, come and sit in the main room. Haha, look at you, just open your mouth if you want to eat, and bring anything else, I'm afraid my sister-in-law won't give you it. Chopsticks? Sister-in-law isn't so stingy, right?"

"What is the village chief? My sister-in-law called me Xiaoliuzi. I heard that Fuwa's nephew came back to recover from his injuries a few days ago, so he said to come and have a look, but there was no time. The town called me to a meeting, and I was busy last night. , I'll be here at noon today." The village chief continued politely.

Li Qingyun came out of the back room and greeted the village chief.The village chief of Lijiazhai is called Li Tianlai. He is short, fat, and has a big belly.The appearance is also very strange, with a pointed head, a round face, and a small flat head, which makes the head more pointed and the face more round.

He doesn't look good, but he has a lot of ability. He can fight and make trouble when he is young.Encountering conflicts and frictions between villages, he was the first to charge, and the dude went up, leading the men in the same village to make a name for himself, and he also stood firm in Lijiazhai.

This is the case in the countryside. As long as you are domineering and convince the villagers, you can be the village chief. Moreover, the village chief and the village party secretary are often held concurrently by the same person, and their rights are not small.However, the village accountant can only be held by a person with high morals and respect. It is also elected by the villagers in the village. However, sometimes, the villagers trust the accountant more.

The village accountant of Lijiazhai is Li Qingyun's fourth grandfather, named Li Chunyi. He went to a private school for several years when he was a child, and his enlightenment education was based on Confucius and Mencius. He was upright, rigid and conservative.I used to work as an accountant at the town's public grain station, but then I stopped paying public grain and worked as an accountant in the village.

The village chief Li Tianlai and Li Qingyun's family are not related by blood, nor are their ancestors five or six generations related. In the countryside, this is called "different sect" or "not the same sect".Before liberation, a gate can also be understood as a gate of a big house. When the family is divided, it is divided into an alley or nearby. It is an ancestor. No matter how much conflict there is, if someone from the outer gate comes to bully, that one. The people at the door will definitely come together.

Usually, Li Tian didn't move around much when he came to Li Qingyun's house, let alone with gifts.

Li Qingyun glanced at the gift in his hand, it turned out to be two boxes of Luzhou Laojiao, an old wine from a few years ago, and the trademark has been a little dark.Seeing patients come to deliver wine, only such a superb can be said.

"Uncle, sit in the room, Mayor Wu and Director Liu are talking inside." After speaking, Li Qingyun took the gift and gave him face.In the countryside, guests bring gifts. If you don't pick them up, you will look down on them.

"How many people are there? Is Deputy Mayor Hong here?" Village Chief Li Tianlai asked in a low voice.

"Four people, plus the assistant to the mayor and the driver. The one surnamed Hong is gone." In a few days, the village will need to seal the house to build a house. In addition, the village chief's reputation is not bad, Li Qingyun is also very polite to him.

"Let's go? It's okay to go! That guy's wine is not good, I'm afraid he's drinking too much and splashing in the village! Oh...why did the mayor come to your house? If I hadn't seen you when you came back from fishing, he would have killed me. I don't believe it either." The village chief whispered again.

The footsteps were about to step into the door of the main room. Li Qingyun didn't have time to answer any more, so he only shouted to the main room: "Dad, the village chief is here, you can talk. I'll go help my mother cook some dishes."

There are outsiders, and Wu Xiaoyu can't talk privately. He doesn't like those official rants. It sounds laborious, and it's better to cook a pot and cook.

These fish are too big, easy to handle, but not easy to cook.There are so many people today, so I have to make a large portion of the dish to save enough food.Not long after, a few wild wild dishes were already out of the pot.Spicy catfish pot, sauerkraut black fish, whole pepper wild boar, stewed turtle soup, because the red carp has many spines, it is afraid that it will be the same as other fish. Tomato sauce, made squirrel fish.These are several main dishes. The side dishes are mainly farm vegetables, plus two wild vegetables, which are made into ten dishes and two soups.

"Wow, Auntie, your craftsmanship is amazing. It's a pity you don't open a big restaurant! This catfish pot is delicious... You can eat it too, don't just watch me eat it, it's good for everyone to do it together." Food, Wu Xiaoyu doesn't have the mayor's air at all, and is no different from ordinary women, but she does not forget to greet everyone to eat.After all, her status is on hold, she doesn't take the initiative to speak, and some people really can't let go.

This is a private occasion. If it is official entertainment, assistants and drivers are not allowed to come to the table.Li Qingyun and his parents, who do not have official positions, will not end it. If there is a reason for the incident, it can be justified to eat at the same table with the mayor and senior officials in public.
