Chapter 535: The Past
Lao Zhao's large courtyard is in an east-west direction. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe main room is not the north room, but the west room.
This large courtyard is nearly 100 meters long from east to west and nearly 70 meters wide from north to south. There are no houses on the east side of the courtyard, only a tall courtyard wall. On the north and south sides of the courtyard were long chambers, and the doors of the other houses were closed except for the two rooms where the Grandmaster had put them in the car.
These two wings are connected to the main house in the west, and the grandmaster and a few of them walked from the house to the main house under the leadership of Lao Zhao, and as soon as they entered the door, they saw an old lady who was about the same age as Lao Zhao, who was busy picking up the dishes.
On the small round table, there is a copper hot pot, and there are some seasonings and vegetables around it.
Lao Zhao said with a smile: "Old woman, come over and see His Royal Highness the Lord of Yingyun." Today, our snail's house is full of brilliance, and it has ushered in the respected Lord Yingyun. ”
The old lady put down the work in her hand, greeted her with a smile, and blessed Fang Zhengying, who was also surprised.
It was really a surprise to be able to see such an ancient etiquette.
hugged the old lady and greeted her slightly, only then did she know that this old lady was Lao Zhao's wife, an authentic woman from Northern Mongolia.
Lao Zhao said: "County Lord, I originally thought that no one would come tonight, so I wanted to eat something with my wife and go to bed, but you and your partner came, so let's try the mutton shabu made by my wife, this is the most famous food in my shop." ”
From noon to the present, the Grandmaster and Fang Zhengying on the road have not eaten, and now they are hungry, so they are not polite, and they sit directly next to the round table.
Bruno. Thompson was also overjoyed, and pulled his son to sit down, and it was clear that the racer from California had been conquered by the food here a few years ago.
Because they didn't expect the Grandmaster to rush over at this point, Lao Zhao and his wife didn't have much to prepare. Lao Zhao and his wife worked for more than ten minutes before they prepared all the cut mutton, seasonings and some vegetables.
Lao Zhao took out a box of "Great Khan Tequ" again, and his wife took out two bottles of mare's milk drink, Lao Zhao said with a smile: "His Royal Highness the County Lord, the master and Bruno, it is estimated that you will not want to leave tomorrow or even the day after tomorrow, such a heavy snow, with my experience of the old man, if you want to open the road, it will take at least five days later, so ah, you can rest here for a few days." Have some drinks, relax and get a good night's sleep tonight. ”
After a pause, Lao Zhao said with some embarrassment: "I don't have any good wine here, this wine is the best wine produced in our local area." Although the degree is a little higher, it is definitely not good to drink this wine, and it is made from pure grain wine. Come on, come on, taste this wine, drink something to warm your body. ”
Fang Zhengying said generously: "Uncle Zhao, you are so polite, we feel very lucky to be able to be entertained by you on this kind of day." ”
"Yo, Your Royal Highness the County Lord, don't call me Uncle Zhao, I can't afford the old man, just call me Lao Zhao."
"Okay, then don't call me His Royal Highness the county lord, just call me Zhengying."
The old and the young looked at each other, and they both smiled and nodded.
Lao Zhao picked up the wine bottle and gestured at Fang Zhengying, Fang Zhengying hesitated slightly, and then nodded. Lao Zhao first poured a full bottle of wine for Fang Zhengying, and then poured a full bottle of wine for Grandmaster, Bruno and Hans, and then filled it for himself and his wife.
The milk soup in the copper pot was already boiling, Lao Zhao picked up the wine glass and said a toast, and everyone took a sip, then picked up the chopsticks, picked up the cut mutton slices as thin as paper, and soaked them in the pot, dipped in the seasoning and ate happily.
The alcohol content of this Great Khan Tequ is very high, more than sixty degrees, the grandmaster feels a little flustered when he drinks it, and after Fang Zhengying's sip of wine, his little face suddenly becomes red.
However, although the wine burned panicked, as soon as the wine was drunk, a warm current suddenly spread from the stomach to the whole body, and the cold on the body was immediately swept away. I have to say that in this snowy weather, drinking this wine and eating shabu mutton is really a pleasure.
Fang Zhengying obviously liked this kind of enjoyment too, and even drank two drinks in a row.
After eating two chopsticks mutton, not to mention, the mutton cut by Lao Zhao's wife is as thin as paper, and the dipping sauce made is also very authentic.
Putting down the wine glass, the Grandmaster asked, "Old Zhao, why didn't you stay in Tiandu after you retired?" With the level at which you retired at that time, there were people rushing to receive you if you stayed in Tiandu. ”
When we met just now, when Lao Zhao saluted Fang Zhengying, he once said that he was a retired first-class sergeant major of the Tiger Division. Just like in the previous life, Sergeant Major 1st Class is not a joke rank, this is the highest rank among non-commissioned officers.
In the previous life, there was a non-commissioned officer rank in the army that claimed to be a non-commissioned officer who had to salute even when the general saw him, that is, a seventh-level non-commissioned officer. In fact, the seventh-level non-commissioned officer is the first-class sergeant major, and they are all masters with special skills in the army.
Let's put it this way, the first-class sergeant major or seventh-level non-commissioned officer in the army is equivalent to the old eighth-level worker in the former working class, or an academician of the Academy of Sciences, which is a national treasure.
And the old Zhao in front of him turned out to be a first-class sergeant major, which means that Lao Zhao definitely has a stunt, otherwise he would not have become a first-class sergeant major. And this kind of talent, once retired, no matter how old he is, there will be people rushing to accept it.
Lao Zhao shook his head with a smile and said: "Master, it's true, if I wanted to stay in Tiandu when I retired, it is estimated that it is absolutely no problem to mix a position such as deputy chief engineer in the Real Madrid Group." But ah, I was born here, I grew up here, until I was eighteen years old, I joined the army and left this homeland, where I was born and raised, and then I stayed in Tiandu for thirty years, and when I retired, I missed my hometown even more. In addition, my wife was not suitable for life in Tiandu, so I decided to go home to retire. ”
After a pause, Lao Zhao continued: "In the winter of more than seventy years ago, my grandfather joined the famous snow field transport team at the call of His Majesty Dezong, and became a part of the team that pulled coal from the northern capital to Vladivostok. However, just as his old man was on his last transport mission, the car unfortunately broke down near Öndörkhan. According to my father, the temperature was very low and it was snowing as much as it is today, and if the car had been on fire, my grandfather would have been in no accident anyway. But ......"
Lao Zhao sighed and continued: "My grandfather and the companion in the same car were finally buried in Öndörkhan, and my grandmother stayed here with my father, guarding my grandfather's tomb all the time. Later, when I learned about my grandfather's deeds from my father, I vowed to learn how to repair vehicles so that vehicles passing by my door would never break down......"
