Chapter 54: A Waking Dream

Zhao Baoxuan failed to understand Zhang Wuwei's thoughts.

It's okay to go to the village chief with her, but she's not afraid of running into her own father.

If she says that she just doesn't want to create family conflicts and doesn't want to go over, it doesn't matter if others don't believe it, the key is that she doesn't know how to express it clearly in one or two words.

There has been no cooperation between the two of them, and she is afraid that Zhang Wuwei will not even be able to understand her eyes.

Niu Jianqiang happily watched the interaction between the two of them, one secretly dragged forward, the other reluctantly rubbed back, couldn't help but turn his head and smile, secretly exhaled, and worshiped the old lady Mu again in his heart.

For these two people to go to Qu Youtang automatically and spontaneously, it must be Old Lady Mu who made a move.

Mu Sanye has taken over as the patriarch for so many years, and he still can't do this.

......

Quyoutang is one of the big mansions in Jincun, since Mrs. Mu took over the position of patriarch, she has been handling clan affairs here, and after stepping down from the position of patriarch, she still uses it as her residence.

After Mrs. Mu's eighty-first birthday, Qu Youtang only allowed the villagers to go in to meet the old lady every Sunday.

After entering, they could only bow far away from the courtyard, and the children were told by the adults to keep silent, and if they dared to be naughty, they would be sent out of the village.

Usually accompanied by Mrs. Mu is a mute in the village, who is responsible for waiting for Mrs. Mu's daily life.

In addition, only the village chief Uncle Mu went in every once in a while to say a few words, or the current patriarch Mu Sanye went in to ask about things.

I don't know if it's to take care of Old Lady Mu who is old and afraid of noise, there are ten banquets in the open space outside the door of Qu Youtang, and the seats are ninety percent full, and there is no sound.

When Zhao Baoxuan saw it, she thought that there was a frozen picture in front of her, and her first reaction was to see if there was Zhao Qingshan in the crowd.

What she didn't know was that Zhao Qingshan was only responsible for being a chef in Jincun, and had never eaten a meal or a dish here.

Everyone turned their heads to look at Zhang Wuwei and Zhao Baoxuan.

Uncle Mu stood up to greet them: "Rare guests, please take a seat!"

Zhang Wuwei didn't let go, took Zhao Baoxuan's wrist and walked over, three feet away from Uncle Mu, stopped, and bowed slightly: "Old lady Mu!

Zhao Baoxuan tried her best to hide her shock, and followed Zhang Wuwei's bow to bend down to greet Old Lady Mu.

This old man next to the village chief, she just dreamed about it last night!

Especially the light revealed by the eyes that are cut into the eye sockets, it seems to be breathtaking!

She woke up in the middle of the night!

If it weren't for the warmth of Zhang Wuwei's palm, she would have thought that she would appear in her dream in broad daylight!

Village Chief Mu didn't seem to see Zhao Baoxuan's pale face, and explained to them: "The old lady is in good spirits today, so come out and sit." ”

Zhang Wuwei pulled Zhao Baoxuan to sit on the left hand side of Village Chief Mu and sat down, then let go of his hand and greeted Old Lady Mu again: "Thank you Old Lady Mu for your face!"

What does it mean to be in good spirits?

It's not just good spirits!

It's just a lot of energy!

Mu Sanye, who should be in the first place, was not there, but the old lady Mu, who usually does not show up on such occasions, was in charge.

Niu Jianqiang didn't even understand what was going on.

Today's banquet held by the village chief was jointly organized by several descendants of the village who admired the third master as a teacher.

They have to pass a three-year probation period before they can formally apprentice, and only after passing the test can they be eligible to apprentice.

The people who come to eat this kind of banquet are basically relatives and friends of the descendants, and it is already very grand and glorious to invite the village chief to come forward and say a few words.

The big guys are all sitting upright, and no one dares to move their chopsticks.

Old lady Mu raised his hand slightly and waved, signaling Village Chief Mu to control the scene, and he set his eyes on Zhao Baoxuan, who was a little at a loss.

"The baby is hungry, right?" Old Lady Mu's voice was very soft, but the words were clear in the ear: "Drink a bowl of soup." ”

Zhao Baoxuan subconsciously shook her head: "I'm not hungry." ”

Old Lady Mu's voice continued to float over: "It's very fragrant, drink one more bowl." ”

Zhao Baoxuan still shook his head: "I'm really not hungry." ”

Village Chief Mu smiled: "This is a good dish, you can't eat such craftsmanship outside, especially this soup, which is exclusive to our village." ”

Zhao Baoxuan didn't say anything.

She has had a keen sense of smell since she was a child, and just by smelling the taste, she can smell the bitter taste of the ingredients in the soup.

She doesn't like to drink bitterness!

No, no, no, that's not the point!

The point is, she was so nervous that her hands and feet were cold and her stomach cramped.

Who can do what they don't like in front of everyone!

She couldn't tell if she hadn't woken up from a dream or was hallucinating, so she pinched her arm vigorously.

It doesn't hurt at all!

It's a dream!

She was relieved.

In dreams, you can do whatever you want.

Anyway, nothing happens when you wake up!

Zhao Baoxuan boldly picked up the chopsticks: "Old lady, please first!"

How clear she is, she still remembers the order of the young and the young in her dreams!

It would be nice if I could remember the taste of the food when I woke up.

Hehe, the people of Jincun have her in their dreams, and they have Jincun in her dreams.

Zhang Wuwei glanced at the nail marks on his forearm with the rest of his eyes, and endured it silently.

Such a deep nail mark can't be erased for a while, and it's never too late to return to the company.

The meals on the table are all produced by Zhao Qingshan, but it doesn't hurt to eat them.

He looked at Old Lady Mu and Village Chief Mu quietly.

Old Lady Mu nodded slightly: "Hmm." ”

The dumb man picked up the rice bowl, dipped the tip of the chopsticks in a little vegetable juice and sent it to Mrs. Mu's mouth, meaning for a moment.

Mu Cunchang waved his hand: "Take this pot of vegetables down and divide it." ”

Some people came over, and their faces were full of reverence, as if they were holding holy relics.

Niu Jianqiang whispered without glory: "This is what the old lady has eaten, all of them are immortal, they are priceless, whoever can eat them will be stained." ”

Zhao Baoxuan looked sideways and asked with her eyes, have you eaten?

Niu Jianqiang replied without asking: "When I was a child, when I waited for Mrs. Mu to finish the meal and put down the chopsticks, I hurriedly used Mrs. Mu's rice bowl to serve rice, and Lao Guo never won against me." ”

I don't have this treatment now!

Zhao Baoxuan, I didn't expect Captain Niu to be such a stupid boy when he was a child!

She turned her eyes to look at the old lady Mu, and suddenly felt that this old man was not so terrible.

Village Chief Mu snorted: "When I go back to the banquet, I will throw away a few pairs of dishes and chopsticks." ”

The inheritor can be a leftover!

Niu Jianqiang enthusiastically recommended: "Miss Zhao, try the sweet cabbage soup, which is unique to our village." ”

The so-called sweet cabbage is actually wild bitter hemp leaves, and the soup is bitter and astringent, and you will feel very sweet after drinking bitter soup and eating any food.

The only soup on the dinner table was not made by Zhao Qingshan.

Zhao Baoxuan felt that it was in a dream anyway, and she was not afraid of the ups and downs, so she picked up the bowl and drank it.

Niu Jianqiang persuaded again: "Mr. Zhang, you taste!"

Zhang Wuwei refused: "What is bitter is bitter, it is enough to eat it once!"
