After Black Lotus became a reborn person, he went completely crazy

The people who built the country are indeed different. Xia Ran's words comforted the few people.

Villagers come to help each other, and they really don't think about asking for anything in return, they just do it out of convenience. But who wouldn't be happy if their efforts and hard work were seen and recognized by the host?

Gui Niang said directly: "Okay, I'll listen to you. I'll also take my naughty boy with me to have a good meal at his sister-in-law's house to satisfy his cravings. The child is craving for it. Even if the eldest brother is not here, he will miss out on this good fortune."

The eldest child in Gui Niang's family, nicknamed Mu Tou, is said to be missing the wood element when he was born. So he was given the nickname Mu Tou to make up for the missing wood in his destiny. He is an apprentice carpenter in the county town and can only go home once a month. He is 15 years old this year.

The second son's wife also said: "I don't think we need to call my baby, Jing will definitely come over after smelling the food. There's only the little one left, and he can't eat much, so his father will probably bring him over."

Seeing that everyone else had expressed their opinions, Jiu Ma also said, "Okay, I'll listen to you and let the kids come over to eat and satisfy their cravings. It's not easy to have a meal of meat in the village. Only your family is frugal enough to still have meat sauce. The meat sauce made by other families has long been eaten up, and they are just waiting to satisfy their cravings after the New Year pig is slaughtered in the twelfth lunar month."

Many people know that they have received compensation. People always laugh at you for not having anything and hate you for having something. Treat those who have helped you generously so that they can feel better.

At least I feel that I am a decent person and worth helping. As for those who are not good people, they can think whatever they want, which is not within my consideration at all.

When the chicken and potatoes were ready, people started arriving. They smelled the aroma from the kitchen and helped to set up the tables and chairs and dishes, eager to have the feast.

Everyone is short of oil and meat.

Xia Ran was also cooking quickly. The cooking skills of the other three were OK in this era, but in Xia Ran's eyes, they were obviously not good enough, so he decided to do it himself.

"Sister-in-law, I didn't expect that you are such a good cook. In order to save food, you actually concealed this skill before? You are so good at hiding it." The second son's wife said while sighing.

Xia Ran smiled but didn't respond.

After everyone arrived, they asked the second brother and the tenth and ninth uncles to arrange the meal. They left a portion of each of the three of them and ate in the kitchen.

Several old women came, too, with their grandchildren. Five tables were prepared, and one extra table was prepared, but it was not enough to seat all of them.

The children's table was crowded with people sitting together. Many families came by themselves and saw that children as old as those from Uncle Nine and Uncle Ten were also coming to the feast.

They shamelessly summoned their own children to come. It was not easy to have a meal of meat, and when they were eating outside, the children at home were drooling with greed, and they themselves could not eat with peace of mind.

Therefore, the more the children cried, the more they gathered. This made the second daughter-in-law and Gui Niang angry, and they kept muttering:

"There are too many kids here, almost half of the village has come. If we had known it would be like this, we should have asked our own kids not to come over to eat, and secretly brought some home to eat. We are setting a bad example."

Xia Ran smiled and said, "It's okay. Have you ever seen a family go bankrupt because of eating? This is the only meal. Everyone is willing to come, which means they are all people who intend to get along well with each other. This is considered a normal exchange between neighbors, which is a good thing.

To put it bluntly, it's all because of poverty. If you have a chance to let the kids satisfy their cravings, just do it. If you eat delicious food outside and your children at home are still craving for it, can you still eat it?"

After hearing this, several people sighed, knowing that what he said was correct. Everyone understood the reason, but they were a little reluctant. It was all because of poverty. Everyone was afraid of poverty and used to saving.

Xia Ran could understand everyone's feelings. People in this era were generally poor and lacked supplies, so it would be strange if they didn't feel distressed.

She came from the later generations, where people had more material things and lived better than they do now, so they didn't need this little bit of food. Everyone was used to being generous, so they thought it was nothing, and just ate whatever they wanted.

How can I be eaten out of money? Besides, I don't need this little money now. Besides, most people in this village are pretty good. If there is something wrong, they will really come if you call them.

Xia Ran likes this era and these simple people. Because of this, she has to make sure everyone has a good meal.

Afterwards, Xia Ran directly cooked a small pot of scrambled eggs with tomatoes and brought it to the big table for the little kid.

The adults at other tables who were watching exclaimed: "The man who built the country is really promising and generous. He is very considerate."

Even the old shrews in the village who were always fussy about things nodded their heads, thinking that the one who built the country was indeed generous and open-minded.

The key is that the eggs are pure eggs, without any flour in them. When people in the village scramble tomato and eggs, they always use 3/4 eggs, just to show their appreciation.

Then pour a large bowl of water and a few handfuls of noodles into it, spread it into an egg pancake. Finally, chop or tear it into pieces and stir-fry it with tomatoes.

Who would be willing to use only eggs? This is too much. It's really irritating. Is this still the famous Xia Koukou?

Xia Ran didn’t think too much about it. The tomatoes and eggs were all produced by her own family, so she just cooked them.

One should be grateful to the people who have helped him. If you treat these people well, at least they can help you control public opinion in the village and say a few good words about you.

Everyone was very satisfied with the meal. It has been a long time since I had a big meal, especially meat dishes, so I was very satisfied.

In the end, everyone used steamed buns to wipe up the soup on the bottom of the plates and basins and ate them. The plates and basins were clean, as if they had been washed with water.

After everyone finished eating, Xia Ran brought two packs of fruit beer, a total of 18 bottles: "We don't have any extra cups at home, so everyone rinse your bowls with water and pour a little for each person to taste. There's no more, that's all, drink it up."

"Ahhh, ahhh, there's fruit beer to drink, there's fruit beer to drink..."

The taste and color of today’s fruit beer are very similar to those of later red wine, but it does not have the astringency of red wine and has a sweet and refreshing taste.

The kids were the first to be overjoyed. They could only drink fruit beer during the Chinese New Year.

They couldn't bear to buy more, so they bought two bottles for each family, and shared them among the family members. They also had to offer it to the ancestors, so that they could taste it first. After the ancestors had tasted it, it would be their turn. And the amount was so small that everyone just moistened their mouths and tasted it.

These adults are now in awe. The people who built the country are indeed different, they have completely come to their senses, and we can no longer look at them with the old eyes.

After everyone had distributed the fruit beer, they sent the children out to play after they had eaten and drunk their fill. Then Gui Niang helped distribute money to everyone.

Whether to give 5 yuan or 7 yuan depends entirely on your performance and hard work in recent days.

Many families were too embarrassed to ask for it, so Xia Ran said directly: "Take it. It will be enough for the child's tuition next spring. You don't have to raise it specially."

When everyone heard this, they were silent for a moment, but finally accepted it.
