Chapter 142: Village Banquet
Wen Xu went home and continued to sleep on his own, and when he got up the next day, he ran and cooked as usual, and then he started to bake bread, and at the end of the day, it was no big deal, and it was just like that, the only difference from the past is that now that he has a girlfriend, he can take advantage of the time when no one is free to hold a small hand and kiss a small mouth or something.

But when it comes to happiness, the happiest Ken is not Wen Xu and Zhuo Yiqing, but Coco and Niu Niu, two little babies, who are almost crazy with the children in the village at the end of the day, and when they return home at night, they look like little clay figures, and Shen Qi also saw that Niu Niu is smiling cheerfully all day long, and no longer holding the tablet and squatting for a day, such a small progress allows Shen Qi to give the two children greater freedom to release their nature.
Early the next morning, it was impossible for Wen Xu to go for a run anymore, because today was the day of the feast, and the whole village had to go over to help.
"Hurry, hurry!" Wen Xu stood at the door of the hall and urged a group of lazy insects.
The adults almost got up, why use almost, because there is also a Mr. Yan who sleeps like a dead pig in the house, and the Yan Winter Meal is not with Wen Xu's place to eat, so Wen Xu didn't care about him, but urged the three women and the two children here to get up and eat breakfast quickly, or the meal would be cold.
"Hah!"
Coco and Niu Niu both squinted their little eyes, and while their mother and sister took their little hands and put their clothes on their bodies, they yawned and couldn't stop their eyelids fighting. At this time, the two little ones are smooth and smooth, sitting on the bed like two pink little meat balls, and a little like a boy painting on the door, quite cute.
Zhou Qian thought it was too funny, so she directly put down the hand holding Niu Niu, only to see Niu Niu's body crooked like a meat ball and fell to the bed, as soon as Niu Niu touched the bed, Niu Niu immediately clicked his mouth, closed his eyes and prepared to continue sleeping.
When Zhou Qian helped Niu Niu up again, the little guy subconsciously opened his eyes a slit, and waited for others to dress him while snorting listlessly.
"Huh!"
Zhou Qian felt that it was very good, and fiddled back and forth a few times, while fiddling, she looked at Niu Niu Silly as if she was looking at a small toy.
Shen Qi said: "Stop playing, put on Niu Niu's clothes well, I didn't hear Wen Zhao screaming outside the door for almost ten minutes."
"Waiting for Yiqing to go out, he won't shout, what's the hurry!" Zhou Qian was not worried at all.
Just like this, Wen Xu waited for another five or six minutes, and when he saw that these people hadn't come out yet, he simply didn't rush, and sat back to the pot house and had breakfast alone.
Wen Xu had just sat down when he heard the sound of a motor coming from the gate of the courtyard, and he was curious who would come at this point, so he stood up and walked to the gate of the courtyard, and found that it was Yu Yao.
"Why did you come here so early? What time did you depart from Pearl this morning? Wen Xu subconsciously looked at his watch and found that it was only 6:40, so he couldn't help but ask Yu Yao, who was getting out of the car.
Yu Yao said: "Brother Daxin and I arrived in your county yesterday morning, and Yang Shuqiang wants to invest in a factory here!" Last night, we stayed in your county, but I couldn't sleep in a new place, and I wasn't with them anyway, so I came to your side early."
Hearing Yu Yao say this, Wen Xu let him go to his own yard, Yu Yao belongs to the kind of person who is a little bit popular, and like Wen Xu, he doesn't like the feeling of being tied up, so naturally he doesn't want to go to the table in Liyu Bay with the leader or the like, but chooses to stay with Wen Xu.
"Didn't you say earlier that it was changed to Liyu Bay, why did you change it back to the village office?" Yu Yao followed Wen Xu into the courtyard, asking as he walked.
Wen Xu said: "What else can there be, I can't sit down over there in Liyu Bay, now in addition to the leaders of several companies, I also invited some small bosses who are messy about construction, plus the heads of the county, and they have made up more than a dozen tables!" ”
"So many, aren't you afraid of the wind?"
Wen Xu smiled: "Even if you want to go against the wind, it has to be public funds."
"Exactly! Sit down and eat some together," Wen Xu and Yu Yao entered the pot house and immediately beckoned him to breakfast.
Everyone is friends and there is nothing polite to be polite, Yu Yao nodded and went to the pot to serve himself a bowl of porridge.
"This porridge doesn't look good, it's not gray" Yu Yao sat next to Wen Xu with the porridge and said casually.
After saying that, he looked up and looked at the bread on the table over there, and immediately stood up again and walked over to get a piece.
"Good guy, why is this thing so hard!" Yu Yao took a piece of bread, put it in his hand and weighed it, then reached out and knocked on the bread shell, only to hear a knocking sound, like knocking on the door, so he joked to Wen Xu: "You won't be ready to hit people with it, it's much heavier than I thought, not only heavy but also hard!" ”
Wen Xu smiled at Yu Yao and said, "You taste it, see if it suits your appetite, this is the recipe I changed myself, and I also changed the taste to make it more suitable for our Chinese stomach!" It's still being improved, it's not a finished product but a semi-finished product, but the general taste is out, but the hardness and roasting heat need to be slightly improved......."
mentioned bread, Wen Xu immediately wanted Yu Yao to give him an opinion, this guy not only likes small collections, small literature and art, but also has a bit of attainment in the desire for tongue.
Hearing Wen Xu say this, Yu Yao took the bread and sat back at the table, gently pulled a small piece from a large piece of cake-shaped bread and put it in his mouth, chewing it slowly and experiencing it.
"It's a bit of a baguette, but it's not exactly the same, it's chewier than a baguette, the skin is not as crispy as a baguette, and the inside is harder than a baguette. It's just that when I bite it, I feel a little weird, the taste is poor, but the more you chew, the more flavorful, in general, it's okay, it can be said to be a European-style flatbread! Yu Yao commented with a smile.
"Well, it's a good achievement!" Wen Xu was a little disappointed when he heard Yu Yao's words, and originally wanted to get more approval from Yu Yao's mouth, but who knew that he only got an okay comment. Because Wen Xu likes this kind of bread very much, and is ready to continue to improve it according to this idea, he will fix this kind of bread in the future. So I was a little disappointed in my heart.
Yu Yao didn't know what Wen Xu was thinking in his heart, and while tearing a piece of bread into his mouth, he drank the gruel: "It's just right with this porridge, the porridge doesn't look good, it tastes really delicious!" ”
Wen Xu himself also picked up the bowl and said: "It must be fragrant, there are not only coarse buckwheat noodles, but also a little cornmeal, with walnut kernels, dried red dates and a few flavors of Chinese medicinal materials, and then grind the rough blank with a large grind, and then grind it on the small black grind!" I ate it last night, and I wasn't going to eat this porridge this morning, but who knew that the masses of the people unanimously demanded it, so I was a little lazy this morning and didn't make wontons."
When Yu Yao heard this, he immediately showed a regretful expression: "In comparison, I still prefer to eat wontons!" ”
"If you don't leave tomorrow morning, I'll do it for you! It's a pity, if you want to sleep alone in a single room tonight, you can only live in the village office, if you want to live here, you have to squeeze in the harsh winter," Wen Xu said.
Yu Yao shook his head when he heard this: "I don't have a good mouth this time, I'm going to leave tonight!" ”
"What are you doing in such a hurry?" Wen Xu was a little surprised when he heard this.
"I still have to catch a plane tomorrow morning to fly to France, I still have some things to deal with over there, and if I don't have to finalize the final plan with Allah this time, I won't come," Yu Yao said.
The two of them were eating and chatting here, and after a while, Zhuo Yiqing and the others came over with the two children, Yu Yao also knew Shen Qi, and everyone gathered around the table to eat without much greetings.
"Goose eggs! Goose eggs! ”
Dragged the porridge in front of him, Niu Niu tapped the table with the chopsticks in his hand and began to call for salted goose eggs.
"What kind of goose eggs do you want for this porridge, it's fragrant enough!" Shen Qi said.
Niu Niu immediately shook his head: "If you eat porridge, you have to serve goose eggs!" ”
At this time, Coco also began to knock on the table with the chopsticks in his hand and coaxed, and kept shouting: "Goose eggs, goose eggs!" ”
Shen Qi compromised: "Then is it okay for you and your sister to eat one?" ”
"Not good, one for each person!"
For the first time, the two of them looked like twins because of the goose eggs, and they said in unison that they wanted to eat goose eggs.
Shen Qi said: "One person is too salty, and one obedient person is one!" ”
Wen Xu listened and said: "Forget it, give one to each of them, I can't eat you and Zhou Qian continue to eat!" With that, Wen Xu stood up and took two boiled goose eggs from the cupboard in the pot house.
"Would you like to try it, my pickled goose eggs, first-class delicious!" When the two goose eggs arrived, Wen Xu's hand remembered Yu Yao, so he asked politely.
Yu Yao was not polite, he heard about the pickled goose eggs, so he said, "Then let's have a taste!" ”
Hearing Yu Yao say this, Wen Xu simply put back the two goose eggs in his hand and directly brought the small soup pot with goose eggs to the table.
Then I heard the sound of clattering goose eggshells, and then cocoa and cow cows took out goose eggs and sent them to their mouths, and they couldn't stop making a delicious sound of clicking.
After Yu Yao took a bite here, he nodded with satisfaction, and the chopsticks stretched out into the goose egg were fast.
A large couple of snacks were too fragrant, Wen Xu couldn't hold back, and took out a goose egg. As soon as Wen Xu made a move, the remaining three were not polite, so everyone had a goose egg, and everyone gathered around the table to pick it up, and none of them said anything about it, even if it was salty, everyone just drank an extra sip of porridge.
Each person has a big goose egg with porridge, not to mention the two children, even the adults are half full, and Niu Niu and Coco have eaten a small belly.
After breakfast, after a little tidying up, everyone went to the village office, and there were no people along the way, so to speak, they didn't even see a figure, and all the people had already rushed to the wheat field next to the village office before Wen Xu set off.
Today's wheat field is called a lively ah, dozens of tables are divided into three rows and set up, six or seven cauldrons are supported next to the wheat field, the big steamer more than two meters high is now steaming, next to a meter wide and almost ten meters long wooden platform is placed on a pile of ingredients, like what kind of boiled white chicken, stewed red meat has not been cut, pots of peanuts, peeled preserved eggs and the like, that is called a hearty.
There were two masters standing next to the case, shirtless, wearing a white apron on their upper bodies, waving the knife in their hands to divide the chickens. There are also some women who help in the village nearby, who are twisting preserved eggs and salted duck eggs with cotton thread in their hands to make cold pots.
On the ground, about two or three feet away from the desk, there were four large buckets filled with large and small dishes and chopsticks, and four village women were washing the dishes while laughing.
Three or four meters downwind, there are three cauldrons, a chef with the same bare back is holding a shovel, really a big shovel instead of a spoon, is stirring in the pot, the pot is brown and black sauce, the sauce is marinated in the old goose, the old goose in the pot has become the color of sauce, it is estimated that it will be out of the pot soon.
And on top of the table next to the cauldron were several large tin basins, each of which could be used by a half-sized boy to bathe, and now some of these basins were filled with steaks, the other was filled with cleaned offal, and the last basin was full of fried lion's heads.
There are also figures that keep walking back and forth around the three rows of big back tables, and the big girls and little daughters-in-law in the village are pouring out of the nest today, and one of them has arrived here to start helping.
If you pay attention, you will soon find that the older ones are washing dishes, washing vegetables, cutting vegetables, etc., and doing delicate work, while the younger ones are setting up tables, putting stools, and laying out the tables. In short, the troublesome and patient work is done by people of age, and the simple and light work falls on the girls.
It's completely different when it comes to men, carrying vegetable baskets and wine boxes, all of them are sturdy young men, and the old men are like official masters, squatting in the corner of the gable of the village office while smoking cigarettes and talking. As for the little baby in the village, it is even more like clockwork, drilling back and forth, like a slippery little loach.
Yes! Yes! As soon as the two little loaches in preparation saw such a lively scene, Coco and Niu Niu immediately rushed towards the big forest with a cheerful cry, and soon the two small ones joined the army of 'mudslides'.
"Ahh It's the cheerful cries of children.
"Let's play!" This kind of majestic voice is the words of adults and children.
"Don't run around!" This is the caring tone of the child's mother.
