After eating at noon, Yang Chengzhi hurriedly went to the county seat to prepare some materials for the evening round-up meal, vegetables, chickens and fish, all kinds of meat, tobacco, alcohol and drinks, returned home, and began to wash vegetables and prepare.

At three o'clock, Aunt Qiang brought a woman in her forties to help, Aunt Qiang smiled and said, "Chengzhi still knows her" Yang Chengzhi looked at the woman in front of him who was a little familiar, and thought for a while, "Is it Aunt Xinghua?" "Yes, yes, I live in the east of the village", the middle-aged woman said happily, "Sister-in-law, I will say that Chengzhi can know me, you don't know me, look, I will say that young people who go out to study must not forget their duty." ”

Yang Chengzhi smiled and said, "Aunt Qiang, Aunt Xinghua, you wash the chicken and fish first, I'll stew the meat first, and we'll stir-fry when people come soon," the three of them said and did it, and the afternoon passed.

At six o'clock, Uncle Qiang took eight middle-aged people who were working into the courtyard, "Is Chengzhi settled down," Qiang asked, "It's almost", Aunt Qiang said.

"Uncle Qiang, whoever has a big table, you go out and borrow one, I'm afraid that the villain at this table won't be able to sit down," Yang Chengzhi said.

Uncle Qiang said, "I have it at home, I'll move it", and after speaking, he led the two of them to move the table.

"Come and uncles come to the house to drink some water first," Yang Chengzhi greeted everyone with a blank slump, and took out a box of Hongta Mountain that had been prepared for each person.

Seeing Uncle Qiang and them coming back with a large round table and a few stools, Aunt Qiang and Aunt Xinghua wiped the table and bench, and began to take the bowl and serve the food.

Uncle Qiang looked at the more than ten people in the yard and said to Yang Chengzhi, "There are a lot of people, the yard is just cool, put the table in the yard."

Everyone said yes in unison, everyone set the table with their hands and feet, the two women began to serve food online, moving wine and drinks, Yang Chengzhi said: "Uncle Qiang first beckons the guests to drink, and there is another dish, I will be fine immediately." ”

A few minutes later, Yang Chengzhi came out with a plate of braised eggplant and beckoned everyone to sit down, and everyone said, "Chengzhi, you are too rich." ”

But I saw that the big round table was full of all kinds of dishes, braised carp, sweet and sour pork ribs, salt-fried mutton, and potato roast beef. Stewed mushrooms with grass chicken, stir-fried lamb tripe, sweet and sour tenderloin, mushroom rape, stir-fried celery with meat, stir-fried fungus with meat, stir-fried mushrooms, braised eggplant, fried beans with meat, all kinds of dishes exude bursts of aroma, which makes people appetize.

watched everyone swallow their saliva vigorously. Yang Chengzhi hurriedly said: "Everyone has been busy for several days, and they haven't entertained everyone well. Take advantage of today, sit down with you, and come and pour you wine. ”

After Yang Chengzhi finished speaking, he picked up the Fenjiu he bought and poured a glass for everyone. He poured a drink for Aunt Qiang and Aunt Xinghua who helped, raised his glass and said, "Thank you for helping me, everyone will use my place in the future, just open your mouth." After saying that, I took a sip, and everyone raised their glasses to accompany each other.

"Everyone eats slowly, eating and drinking. Yang Chengzhi greeted everyone.

Everyone stretched out their chopsticks and began to taste these delicacies that they had already coveted, and after eating a few bites, Uncle Qiang put down the chopsticks, took a sip of wine and said, "I have heard that the old poplar has unparalleled cooking skills, and today I finally ate the craftsmanship of the old Yang uncle's successor, which is really a good craft." ”

A middle-aged man in his thirties named the Red Army said, "Chengzhi, your craft is also a good hand at the Pingcheng Hotel." ”

Yang Chengzhi smiled and said, "I made a few dishes randomly, don't build yì, eat as much as you want, there are still at home." ”

Under the greeting of Yang Chengzhi and Uncle Qiang, everyone let go of eating and drinking, and everyone was persuaded to drink, which was very lively.

Suddenly, Uncle Qiang's words made everyone quiet down suddenly, and they all looked up at Yang Chengzhi: "I remember that the old man's own medicinal wine tastes quite good, I don't know if there is still any family after the old man leaves." Uncle Qiang said with a red face.

Yang Chengzhi scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "I'll take a look." ”

I went into the house and took a flashlight to the west room, removed the dilapidated sundries, opened the iron door of the cellar, stayed in the cellar for a few minutes, and moved a jar of wine with one word written on it, this jar of wine is at least enough for five years now, holding this jar of medicinal wine, Yang Chengzhi returned to the banquet and said to the people, "Good luck, there are still a few jars left." ”

Tear off the faded red paper on the altar, pat off the mud seal on it, the mud seal is a pale yellow waterproof tarpaulin, remove the tarpaulin, uncover the wine lid made of cork, a smell of wine mixed with medicinal smell escapes into the air, and a faint layer of wine mist is formed on the mouth of the wine jar.

"Good wine" Uncle Qiang looked at the wine jar with red eyes, swallowing his saliva vigorously, this must be the old man's special medicinal wine, drinking this medicinal wine can strengthen the body, relax the muscles and invigorate the blood, I have heard of this medicinal wine, but I have never drunk it, Qiang said rubbed his hands and said loudly: "Come and try this wine, this wine has been some years," said, Yang Chengzhi poured a glass for everyone, and even Aunt Qiang and Aunt Xinghua, who had never drunk alcohol, also poured half a glass.

Aunt Qiang blushed and looked at the half glass of wine in her hand, and stretched out her hand to pull Uncle Qiang: "Old man, you see that I never drink, look at this wine!"

Uncle Qiang gently patted Aunt Qiang's hand and said, "Old woman, drink slowly, drink less of this wine." ”

Aunt Qiang carefully picked up the wine glass, she had never drunk wine, she didn't dare to take her mouth lightly, shook it gently, the fragrance of the wine came to her nose, a fragrance that had never been smelled came from the nose, and the whole body felt refreshed, Aunt Qiang was also happy, took a sip of the wine glass, the entrance of the medicinal wine was slightly spicy, and it was sweet and sweet. "The old man's wine is really warm and comfortable to drink, you should drink it quickly" In this way, Aunt Qiang took a sip of wine, and accompanied everyone to drink hot dishes with chopsticks.

Seeing Aunt Qiang say this, everyone raised their glasses, all drank wine and ate vegetables in small sips like Aunt Qiang, at first they thought it was a delicious dish in the world, and under the backdrop of medicinal wine, it also became a mountain and wild kimchi that could only be drunk, Yang Chengzhi was speechless for a while, and muttered in his heart, is his cooking really not good.

At eleven o'clock in the evening, a jar of ten catties of medicinal wine remained, and only an empty jar was poured under the table. A cadre is full of wine and food, and is elated. When will Chengzhi be able to drink this medicinal wine again, a middle-aged man standing and shaking, Yang Chengzhi smiled, I will brew another batch of new grain this year. During the New Year, each person was given an altar, and everyone applauded loudly.

With the help of a group of people, the banquet was removed, dishes were washed, dishes were washed, and tables were moved and the floor was moved.

At half past eleven, everyone shook and went home.

Sending everyone away, Yang Chengzhi locked the door, entered the house and moved into the space, because he was busy for several days and did not enter the space, the space changed quite a lot, the vegetables that were originally an inch high came up for four or five days, and they were almost a foot high, and they were basically on the shelves, sunspots, Yang Chengzhi shouted loudly, from hiring people to now afraid of sunspots running around, he has been putting it in the space, anyway, there is space and water is not afraid of it starving.

There was a squirrel, the sunspot came out of the vegetable field, and the sunspot was also bigger than a few days, half a meter high, the fur was black and shiny, and the crescent moon on the chest was even more powerful. When Heizi saw Yang Chengzhi, he wagged his tail and threw himself on Yang Chengzhi's leg, whining and roaring, and the dog's face was full of grievances. "Okay, Kuroko, I've been suffering you for the past few days, so I'll let you out tomorrow. ”

Kuroko rubbed Yang Chengzhi's calf with his head and nodded gently. This guy, Yang Chengzhi gently patted the sunspot's head.

Walking to the sunspot to see the fish raised, as soon as the sunspot heard about the fish, he snorted and grabbed his tail and got into the vegetable field.

Yang Chengzhi was confused, and he didn't know what was going on, so he walked to the edge of the pond. The pond seems to be a little bigger, and more than 20 carp have been bought and swam happily in the water, and some of them have already spawned.

Yang Chengzhi suddenly felt that something was wrong, this fish didn't seem to be twenty years old, and he remembered the appearance of the sunspot. Yang Chengzhi shouted angrily, "Heizi," this shout didn't call out Heizi, and the carp in the pond were so frightened that they all sank into the pond. This dead dog, Yang Chengzhi walked quickly to the vegetable field and shouted a few sunspots.

Kuroko lowered his head and tail, and crawled out, his face full of innocence. Yang Chengzhi looked at this, the anger in his heart was gone, and he took the sunspot out of the space.

After being tired all afternoon, Yang Chengzhi fetched water and washed himself off before falling asleep.
