Chapter 13: Delicacies
"Shall I say a few words, then?" Zhang Dafa is the head of the village, although there are many opportunities to speak in front of the villagers, but it is the first time that he is so formal at home, and he is really a little embarrassed.
Liu Dewang and the others looked at Zhang Dafa intently.
"First of all, I want to thank Bufan, it is he who changed my old ideas, if there are many people in our village, like Bufan, who was admitted to university, went to Yanjing, did not cherish the superior life of the big city, cared for his hometown, returned to the countryside, and wanted to develop his hometown The idea really moved me, and I thank you for the whole village."
Zhang Tingting stretched out her thumb and praised Liu Bufan.
Liu Dewang nodded.
Wang Guixiang's heart blossomed.
Ding Cuilan smiled with satisfaction.
It was the first time for Liu Bufan to be praised like this in person, and he scratched the back of his head embarrassedly.
"Since the reform and opening up, the development of cities has been changing with each passing day, and the development of rural areas has seriously lagged behind.
"Brother Dafa said it is so good!" Liu Dewang agreed.
Everyone else kept nodding.
"Secondly," Zhang Dafa patted Liu Dewang on the shoulder, and continued: "I want to thank Brother Dewang." ”
"Me?" Liu Dewang couldn't believe his ears, "Thank me for what?" ”
"I want to thank you for giving birth to such a good son, so hearted, so kind and simple, and most importantly, not forgetting his roots, he came back this time, if he didn't have your support, he would definitely not be able to do it smoothly."
Liu Dewang's old face turned red all of a sudden, you must know that he was strongly opposed at the beginning, and the reason why he later supported it was because he wanted to fight with the people in the village, but he couldn't say this.
"Brother Dewang is really sensible!" Ding Cuilan Road.
"Where, where." Liu Dewang hurriedly waved his hand.
"In the end, I hope that the extraordinary career will go smoothly, and I will lead the villagers to get rid of poverty and become rich in the future, and live a good life as soon as possible!"
Several people applauded together.
"Let's eat it while it's hot, it's an ordinary meal, don't pick it!" Liu Dewang greeted.
"A boy is good if he can cook, you invited us to eat so warmly, how could we choose." Ding Cuilan Road.
Zhang Dafa picked up chopsticks and took a piece of Kung Pao chicken and put it in his mouth.
"Huh?"
He hummed, his pupils dilated, and he took several more mouthfuls with his chopsticks, put them in his mouth and chewed them seriously.
"This Kung Pao Chicken, your Aunt Cuilan always makes it for me, but it is so delicious, I still eat it for the first time, compared to the years ago when I went to the town for a meeting, and the food I ate when I had a dinner in a restaurant I don't know how many times!"
Zhang Dafa praised again and again.
Liu Dewang and the others were a little unconvinced, and felt that Zhang Da's expression was a bit exaggerated, so they each picked up chopsticks and tasted it.
"Brother Bufan, this kung pao chicken you made is indeed delicious, better than my mother's!" Tingting chewed and said vaguely.
"Guy with no conscience, you are doing a good job, then let you cook it for you every day, don't eat my cooking." Ding Cuilan pretended to be angry, but she also praised it in her heart.
"If you don't eat it, you won't eat it, anyway, I'm tired of eating it for more than 20 years, what Brother Bufan makes is delicious, grin......" Tingting made a grimace at Ding Cuilan.
Everyone at the table was amused by Tingting's lively and funny personality.
"Extraordinary, how do you cook this dish, you have to tell her for your Aunt Cuilan to keep her daughter." Wang Guixiang quipped.
In fact, what's the trick, Liu Bufan has obtained the skills of a junior chef, this is just a home-cooked meal, can it be delicious.
He thought about it for a while, and said a few nonsense, anyway, there are many factors that affect the taste of cooking, what heat is mastered, and how much seasoning is used, which will determine the taste of the final product.
Ding Cuilan listened carefully with deep belief, and remembered it silently in her heart, and was very attentive.
Several other dishes also made everyone praise.
Don't talk about them, even when Liu Bufan ate it himself, he was surprised.
"Don't just eat food, everyone raise a glass and drink one." Zhang Dafa rose up from eating and raised his wine glass.
Several people touched their glasses and took a sip each.
"Good wine!"
Food is good wine, that's so beautiful.
Everyone chatted while eating.
Zhang Dafa took a few sips of wine, opened the conversation, and began to tell interesting stories about their childhood.
Liu Dewang was also emotional, lamenting that time flies and the years do not leave anyone.
The meal was eaten until it was dark, and then it ended.
Early the next morning, the golden rooster reported the dawn, and the sun was on the pole.
The sun shone into the room, and Liu Bufan opened his sleepy eyes.
Not to mention, yesterday's bottle of Wuliangye is indeed a good wine, and there is no headache when I get up.
When Liu Bufan got up, he pushed open the door, and Liu Dewang was chopping wood with an axe.
"Are you up?"
"Hmm." Liu Bufan answered, and went to wash up and have breakfast.
Breakfast is very simple, eggs, steamed buns, as well as small pickles and millet porridge, these are homemade, and they taste delicious.
Although he came back a few days ago, Liu Bufan already felt that the decision he made was extremely correct.
Farmer, mountain spring, a little field.
This is the life that many people yearn for.
But there are a few people who can willingly give up the superior life in the city and return to the countryside to live an ordinary life, these are things that many people can not hope for, and I have to say that Liu Bufan is lucky.
After breakfast, he thought about the fruit trees on the mountain, greeted his parents, and hurried up the mountain.
Today's weather is very clear, and there is not a single cloud in sight of the endless blue sky.
Many of the leaves of the saplings had already withered, but yesterday each apple sapling was rejuvenated by the watering of the Spiritual Spring, and if you look closely, you can also find that the height of the sapling has also changed, and it has grown more than ten centimeters longer than before.
"It's amazing!" Liu Bufan was surprised.
After the saplings are planted, according to the convention, it takes two years for the saplings to become mature and bear fruit, but it only takes one day to grow more than ten centimeters, and at this rate, after two months and months, it can grow fruits.
Since then, Liu Bufan has come to the field every day to observe the growth of the saplings, watering them from time to time and applying some farm fertilizer.
It's strange to say that the saplings were watered with a fountain of spiritual spring, and the fruit trees had no tree insects.
Zhang Tingting will come over to help every time she rests, and after she is busy, she pesters Liu Bufan to eat the home-cooked food he makes, Liu Bufan has no choice, and he will be satisfied every time.
