Life in a quiet village in Xianshan

The county town is not that big, and it is close together, so as soon as Zhang Zechun and his wife entered the restaurant, someone did not say hello to them.

Not the dining guests, but the hotel staff.

As for the guests in the hotel, there is only one table, and the one who has not sat down is Gu Siwei's table.

There was no one there anyway, so everyone sat down casually.

"What should we eat? The fish in our store today is relatively fresh, and Master Zhang also learned a new dish called pickled fish. It's quite delicious. Do you want to try it?"

At this time, as soon as you sit down at a table, a little girl will come up to ask you to order. At this time, they are all aunts and sisters wearing white aprons and white hats.

Zhang Zechun's family had no nerve to order, so they looked at Gu Siwei.

Gu Siwei said: "It's free, you can just order whatever you want to eat."

"It's better to come here alone, and don't order any meat. My stomach is a little bad these days. It's too oily and I can't digest it." Zhang Zechun was embarrassed. It was too expensive to go out to the restaurant. He was afraid that Siwei would spend money, so he made an excuse.

Gu Siwei knew that most of the stomach problems at this time were due to hunger, not overeating.

So Gu Siwei looked at the aunt in the white apron: "Is there anything new and lively?"

"The pickled fish just now is pretty good. The fish is also new. It's very lively. You can go to the back and see that they are all five or six kilograms of big herring." The aunt said with a smile, as if she and Gu Siweila were at home.

The posture is also similar. Now the aunt is sitting on a stool next to Gu Siwei's table, with one arm resting on the table, looking quite relaxed.

"Then pickled fish, do you have braised pork?" Gu Siwei asked.

The aunt pointed at the small blackboard hanging on the wall: "You have already ordered it. We are the best at braised pork. To be honest, I am not exaggerating. If you don't believe it, ask Director Zhang. The braised pork in their agency canteen is the best." It’s not as delicious as what we have here, otherwise Lao Zhang wouldn’t come here every two weeks and buy one to take home.”

The aunt's words made Zhang Zechun a little embarrassed. He just said that he couldn't eat oil because of his stomach problem, and now they said that he would get some braised pork home in a while. This slap in the face must have been too fast.

Gu Siwei didn't think about it at all. He was looking at the small blackboard hanging on the wall and looking at the menu.

"Let's have braised pork, a bigger portion, and then have shredded pork with green peppers and potatoes, and then have braised meatballs, and then have...".

"Enough, enough!"

When Xu Aiping heard that these four words were clicked, she immediately stopped Gu Siwei.

My aunt also said from time to time: "Four dishes for the four of you will definitely be enough. If you order more, you will have to take it back."

"Is four dishes enough for four people? I can eat a lot," Gu Siwei asked with a slightly skeptical smile.

The aunt said: "Don't worry about this, put your heart back into your stomach. It's impossible for one of us to eat one dish and not be full. With these four words, three of them are very fat, and you still eat them." Are you not full? Listen to me and stop ordering."

Gu Siwei looked at Zhang Zechun and his wife.

Seeing that they also persuaded him not to order, he said: "Okay, then I will follow your arrangement."

Auntie's service here wasn't great, but she settled the bill very quickly. She didn't ask for anything. After asking Gu Sibole what he wanted to order, he opened his mouth and told her the amount.

Gu Siwei didn't hesitate and just paid for the order.

Gu Siwei bought the order here, and within a minute, shredded pork, green pepper, potatoes and pork arrived.

The portion size is really hard to say. Just this one plate will have to be changed to at least three or four servings in a few decades, and the shredded pork is also sufficient. Let’s put it this way, the shredded green peppers and potatoes and the shredded pork are almost three-thirds each. one.

Everyone here has a big bowl of rice. They just picked it up and took a few bites. The meatballs that were already half-cooked were also served. The meatballs were real meatballs. The only side dishes were a few green onions and Just some soaked dried bamboo shoots.

It's heavy on oil and salt. In today's terms, this kind of dish is very thirst-quenching.

"How's it going? How does it taste?"

After the aunt served the food, she immediately sat down where she was before and chatted with everyone.

"Very good!" Gu Siwei praised.

"It's fine," the aunt said cheerfully.

After saying this, the aunt said again: "Do you know about the Linshan Street store over there?"

"What happened at the Linshan Street store?" Xu Aiping was a little curious.

The aunt said: "Is this what happened a few days ago? Things in the Linshan Street store suddenly disappeared during the day."

"Can it be haunted in broad daylight?" Xu Aiping looked confused. It was obvious that she had never heard of this.

When the aunt saw the expression on Xu Aiping's face, she suddenly became energetic and the fire of gossip was burning like a raging fire.

"I don't know if it's haunted or not. I only know that all those people were punished and Xu Yincui was imprisoned for a few days. This is a very happy thing." The aunt said with a smile. She was really happy.

"Xu Yincui?" Gu Siwei asked.

"Well, young man, you may not have gone there. If you went to that store, you would know how much Xu Yincui has a mouth.

The word "kou" is a dialect, which means that this person is quite unreasonable and fierce. It is especially used for women. Men do not use the word "kou" to describe it.

Hearing what the aunt said, Gu Siwei knew who it was. He was the one who did this. Apart from anything else, there are still items from other people’s stores in the space.

After hearing the aunt's mention, Gu Siwei remembered that there were still some things in the space that had not been dealt with.

"That is to say, I didn't find anything in their house. If I found it, I would definitely care about it. According to me, even if that person is shot, it won't be considered an unjust, false or wrongful conviction." The aunt added.

Xu Aiping nodded and said, "That person is used to being unreasonable."

"When she was being taken away, she was acting aggressively. Who knew that she wasn't used to it at all, so she just slapped her twice on the face. She still wanted to act bad, and the woman who took her away hit her face with the butt of a gun. After smashing it, I became honest, did whatever I was told, and stopped crying and screaming..."

Gu Siwei felt that the aunt in front of him must have had some trouble with the guy named Laozi, otherwise how could she be so happy.

At this time, Xu Aiping said to Gu Siwei: "There is no one in this area who is not afraid of offending that woman. It's really unreasonable. Everyone should take a detour."

"That's outrageous," Gu Siwei said with a smile.

After cleaning up and almost dissipating his anger, Gu Siwei put an end to this matter.

"That's not true. But, having said that, where did the things go? They didn't find them at home, and there were also a few big things. Do you think this is strange?"

After everyone got angry, they started to turn to this strange thing.

Xu Aiping said: "It must have been transported away."

Zhang Zechun nodded after hearing this.

The aunt said: "I thought so at the beginning, but my wife just went to their store to deliver goods in the morning, and said that those things were all there when they were delivered. No matter how brave they are in broad daylight, they can't It’s impossible to be this fat, and besides, the large, steel-impermeable stove inside cannot be transported away just by the few of them without a car.”

"Ah, did he really disappear in broad daylight?"

The aunt shifted her body and emphasized: "That's not true. If my lover hadn't seen those things that day, I would have thought that they must have stolen them together. But you know that my lover can't lie, most importantly. An honest person. When something happened, he said he wanted to prove it, but I kicked him directly.

This person is so forgetful that he forgot why he was squeezed into his current unit the year before last. Wasn't it Xu Yincui's fault? He just wanted his nephew to come into the store, so he drove my wife away. The job used to be great, but now the job is busy from morning to night without any rest..."

Now why is the aunt so happy when she hears that someone is unlucky? There is indeed something wrong with her.

"Is your lover still so busy?" Xu Aiping said.

The aunt said: "Isn't that right? Now their unit is fine, but something else has happened."

Seeing that Xu Aiping was a little curious, the aunt said: "Didn't the first batch of supplies from the Industrial Bureau arrive this year? Their unit is so busy cooperating with the Industrial Bureau."

"Is your wife still working for the Industrial Bureau?"

Zhang Zechun asked.

The next few words immediately made Gu Siwei feel that he had something to do tonight.

"Isn't it? There is a shortage of manpower over there. Not only from our county, but also from Baoshan, Yuhe, Yuchang, Linma and other nearby counties. The supplies have almost arrived and are now being prepared for distribution."

"Then we can burn kerosene heating stoves this year. This is much safer than burning coal," Xu Aiping said with a smile.

"That's what I said, but if my wife says we shouldn't think about it, the oil is not for us, it's for various units. I'm afraid we'll still be heating with coal stoves this year," the aunt said.

When it came to oil, Gu Siwei's spirit perked up, and he felt that he didn't know what to do. Now that he knew how to do it, how could he succeed if he didn't do something like plucking his hair? Besides, based on the attitude of those who were doing things today, they How can I keep my face warm in the winter? Why can't my thick skin withstand a whole winter?

The aunt was just enjoying her words here, but she didn't expect that her few words that were so verbose would cause the county to be in a state of uproar for several months.

This meal made me feel happy. Not only did I know the fate of the fat woman, but also the place where the oil was made. Do you think Gu Siwei was not happy?

I didn't drink any alcohol during this meal, and I ate for more than two hours. The pot of pickled fish was clean, and even the pickled vegetables and soup had been soaked in rice. At this time, the power of the pickled fish was still extraordinary. It’s just that Gu Siwei didn’t like it very much and the cooking quality was average, so he ate the fish with two chopsticks.

At about eight o'clock, everyone dispersed. Gu Siwei and others finished eating. Chatty Auntie and others happened to be off work, and everyone was happy for a while.

When Zhang Zechun and his family went out, they naturally thanked and thanked Gu Siwei for the hospitality, and warmly invited Gu Siwei to sit at home.

After Gu Siwei greeted them politely, he rode his bicycle all the way to the Industrial Bureau where he heard about it from his aunt.
