Chapter 263: Gossip at the Table

The banquet has to be set up for three rounds, the first round is for the children to eat, and ten or twenty children need two tables to sit down. The women had already set up the table, and it was full of meat from the pig that had just been killed today, completely fresh. Stir-fried lean meat, fat meat half-fried with garlic, pork ribs stewed with radish, and of course, pig offal, basically everywhere on the pig's body can be found meat.

Pork is the main dish, and the other vegetables can only be considered a match. Of course, the children's favorite is the lean meat, which is stir-fried with potato starch and then delicious, so every child can eat a lot.

In the countryside, there is no shortage of oil, meat, salt, soy vinegar and monosodium glutamate on the table, and you can make delicious dishes.

There are no delicacies from the mountains and seas, there are no high-end ingredients, everything is very simple, and the food is not so exquisite, the first thing to see is the amount, and the second will see whether it is exquisite, of course, for the word exquisite, rural people may not understand, therefore, the dishes that are loaded with dishes are very ugly but a lot of big names, not exquisite dishes.

Even children will hold a big hand when they eat, unlike people in the city, the rice bowl is not as big as a palm, if such a bowl is in the countryside, a person is estimated to eat four or five bowls before he is full.

The children are eating and drinking at the same time, the cups are varied, and there is no unified appearance, Chen Shi did not go to buy a set of back, although there is a set of cups in Lincheng, but there is no in the hometown, therefore, some of the cups are borrowed by the mother to the neighbor's house, and they will be returned after today. This is the custom of rural people, and no one will care.

Chen Shi personally poured orange juice for the children, which is a fruit orange produced by his company, which tastes very good to drink, so the children like it, and the advertising words on it can be memorized, and the children will recite one or two sentences "shake before drinking" when they are bored.

A bunch of children eating is very noisy, each child will have countless problems, therefore, Chen Shi on the side to solve them one by one, however, there are too many children, he can't be busy alone, so he has to ask his sister and brother to help, and he handed over the heavy responsibility to the two of them, because the two of them are young, and the children have a common word, so it is good to manage the naughty mischief.

The most naughty and mischievous is, of course, Huzi, during the day, he was majestic all day, using pig urine bags as balloons to beat his friends to the ground, and he was still the protagonist at the dinner table at this time.

Moreover, because Huzi studied in the county town and had a wide range of knowledge, other children were willing to listen to him brag, and people who were a year or two older than him also revolved around him, and it seemed that he had become the little bully in the village.

However, Huzi did not bully others, everyone was just joking, and he also liked to brag in front of everyone, so he was unusually proud when he spoke, and his mouth was dry while talking, and then he continued to brag after taking a sip of drink.

Chen Shi listened to it, smiling from time to time, thinking about his childhood was really carefree, at this time, with his current eyes, thinking back to his past, thinking about many absurd deeds at that time, with his current thinking, he can't think of it anyway.

After greeting the children, the second round was, of course, the main force of the pig slaughter, the big men, and this table was the one that had to drink, and the longest table, so that the women's round began when they had just eaten half of it, and they would not wait until the end of this round to eat.

Now in the countryside, although the atmosphere is not as good as in ancient times, but generally speaking, men and women still have to be served separately, of course, there is no such dead rule, children can be together, sometimes the man's side can go to the woman's side if he can't sit down, and similarly, the woman's side can also come over if he can't sit down.

Now they are still sitting separately, it should be said that it is the influence of feudal remnant culture, in fact, there are not so many taboos between men and women, and they are already very open and easy-going. If you are holding a happy event and setting up a banquet, you won't pay attention to these, and men and women are already in the play together.

The men drank and the women cooked, so the men had to be helped to prepare the food before it was served.

Men may not be born with a penchant for cooking, so women are of course the main force of cooking at home. Women who drink are rarely good, and of course not nothing, but they are only individual and difficult to meet.

The kitchen was very lively, stir-frying, washing, and stewing, and my father came to the kitchen and said, "Let's get us a peanut and a fried pork liver first, and we'll have wine." ”

Then, my mother led everyone to quickly get a few appetizers and go up first, and then serve the other dishes one by one. When the mother had led the men to finish the dishes, she added food to them, and then led the women who were cooking to the table, and the dishes were already on the table, waiting for everyone to serve them.

Chen Shi followed his father at a table, but he didn't drink today, on this occasion, the matter of drinking and greeting guests was handed over to his father, and his father, as the host, of course coped with it freely, if Chen Shi was asked to deal with these relatives and friends, he was a little difficult. He has always been a person who is not good at dealing with others, and sometimes he doesn't know what to say, and he will offend others unconsciously, so he has always said much.

Chen Shi doesn't drink alcohol, but he is responsible for adding food to everyone, and he can watch at any time to fill up any rice bowl or wine glass when it is empty.

Of course, the wine I drank was Moutai, which Chen Shi brought back, there were about a dozen bottles, my uncle and cousin drank about two bottles, and brought back about two or three bottles, and now there are not many, it is estimated that it is only enough for this time.

The amount of alcohol in the countryside is generally good, in Chen Shi's family, he used to drink corn wine, he also drank it, the degree is very high, forty or fifty degrees, and it is very spicy, and Moutai is not at the same level at all.

Everyone toasted, of course, they were full of praise, and asked their father what kind of wine this was, in fact, everyone had already seen that this was Moutai, but some illiterate old people didn't know, so they asked out on purpose.

As soon as my cousin heard someone ask, he immediately said: "This is Moutai, it's quite expensive, hundreds or thousands of yuan a bottle." ”

Everyone was shocked, although everyone knows that Moutai is very expensive, but there are not many people who have drunk Moutai, and none of them know how much it is worth.

My father was very proud, and at this time, he could finally show off, and he said: "It's not worth a few dollars, everyone just drinks, and if you don't get drunk, you won't go home." ”

Cheers again. At the dinner table, as soon as they drank, everyone talked endlessly, talking about all kinds of deeds this year, some were happy, some were regretful, but everyone was more good than bad, maybe there were bad things, there were bad things, but no one said it.

Of course, at the wine table, everyone's topic is inseparable from Chen Shi, because at this time, no matter who knows that Chen Shi is a person with a lot of talent, many guys in the village work in his company, so when it comes to calculation, Chen Shi has almost become their boss.

It's like the owner in ancient times, so everyone eats and drinks while saying to Chen Shi that he should take care of so-and-so and so on.

Chen Shi agreed to it all, because it was not an actual promise, and of course he would not be stingy.

The women's table was also chattering, and instead of drinking, they drank it. The topic over there was not Chen Shi, but Li Yalian and her sister.

Li Yalian is very familiar to everyone, although Chen Shi and her have not officially held a happy event, but everyone knows that she is Chen Shi's daughter-in-law, and the children in the village have returned her sister-in-law, so she can't run anyway.

In addition to Li Yalian, the one that everyone talks about the most is my sister. My sister is not young, and she will graduate next year, so everyone is asking questions about her sister's marriage.

My sister shirked and said that it was still early and that she would not consider it until she graduated, while others said that you see how old the children are and so on.

Indeed, in the countryside, girls of my sister's age, there are almost no who are not married, and it is normal for them to get married at the age of sixteen or seventeen, and then have children, which can be said to be much later than the ancient thirteen or fourteen years old, but compared to the twenty or even thirty years old in the city, such an age is very young.

In the countryside, my sister is already an old girl, but no one will dislike her for being old, because she is the only college student in the village. In the city, of course, she is a little girl, just an adult.

As the master, the mother greeted everyone with a smile, and at the same time blocked the arrow for her sister, and said: "I'm not in a hurry, they said that they would get married after the legal age, and Xiaoshi would be twenty-two soon, so when he was old, let him do things quickly, as for the daughter, it depends on herself, although she is older, if she can't get married, I can support her for a lifetime." ”

At this time, of course, the mother has the capital to say this, now, the conditions of the family have been turned upside down, she is not worried about marriage, such good conditions at home, will she still worry that her daughter will not be able to marry, and her son will not be able to marry her daughter-in-law?

While everyone was talking, someone asked about Chen Dong and Chen Ying's situation, speaking of these two people, her mother suddenly became a little angry, and said: "Chen Ying, that wild girl, is just helpless, she has become a tyrant at home, I can't cure her, but Chen Dong is fine, he has few words, he is well-behaved, and his grades are good, if the two of them are upside down, Chen Dong is like a girl at home, and the girl is wild like a boy, hey! ”

Chen Shi heard his mother say this at the table next door, and couldn't help but sneer, thinking about it, it was really the case. Chen Dong has always been well-behaved, with good grades and obedientness, he is like a lady, but Chen Shi knows that he is not a shy person, but he is introverted.

Her younger sister Chen Ying is lively and stubborn, so her mother will say that she is wild like a brat.
