089 City People Go to the Countryside (2)

Most of the dwellings in Badong County are low and dilapidated, and the house walls are made of half stone and half mud, and the soil is mixed with some straw such as thatch to increase the toughness of the mud walls.

The courtyard walls are even more low and simple, and even some have been eroded by wind and rain, and adults of medium height can clearly see the scene in the courtyard.

Most people have bunches of chili peppers hanging on the porch, the bright red ones are lovely, but there are a lot of dry green and white in them, and the chili peppers are also pitiful.

The five generations of the Lei family have lived together, and the conditions of the housing are obviously much better, the doors and walls are all bluestone and blue tiles, and there are even some faded carvings left on the wooden beam houses.

Director Qian humbly arched his hand to explain the intention:

"I heard that the Lei family has practiced medicine for generations, with noble medical products and benevolent family style, so I want to hire Lei's descendants to be the medical consultant of the pharmaceutical factory, and I don't need to go to Shanghai to work, just help see a few prescriptions."

Li Si, a pharmacist, translated several times in local dialect on the side, and cooperated with a few actions to explain that Director Qian was genuine and a noble man from Shanghai.

Dr. Lei, the head of the Lei family, glanced Director Qian up and down, invited them in with a smile, and said:

"Although Badong is a small and poor place, there are also some contacts with Shanghai, and the newspapers have accumulated a bunch of newspapers, and the name of Ping An has long been thunderous.

Unexpectedly, Director Qian hurriedly waved his hand and made a humble and peaceful gesture.

Dr. Lei bent down and invited Director Qian to enter the door, and then instructed a few children to go separately to invite the uncle of the family to come over to accompany the guests.

After a period of chaos, Director Qian excused himself once, sat down in the seat of the Lei family's guest of honor, served the tea for the guests, and the uncles at home also sat in the position of accompanying the guests.

Director Qian took out a few unilateral sheets from a very stupid blanket and asked Dr. Lei to look at them.

Dr. Lei took the side with both hands, looked down carefully, and said some words of admiration:

"The main medicine is introduced, the monarch and the ministers are the assistants, and the law is very wonderful."

Then he handed the one side to a few uncles, and a few uncles took the one side and went into the inner room to discuss.

Dr. Lei apologized to Director Qian in a low voice:

"To make you laugh, there are really a few uncles who can't read and write, and they have to be translated into local dialect and read it again."

There are also doctors who don't know much about reading, and Director Qian waved his hand and didn't mind at all.

Those few unilateral ones they love to change or not, their mission on this trip is strange, they are here to be the God of Wealth, just throw some money, if the Lei family has other requirements, he also has a lot of authority to deal with it randomly.

It took some time before a few uncles came out, with smiles on their faces, and they treated Director Qian more enthusiastically, this Ping An Pharmaceutical is really a little capable, and it is no wonder that they should not ask the Lei family to be this "consultant". Ping'an's pharmacy is indeed eight points similar to the few prescriptions they use every day in the Lei family.

However, they also understand their own proportions, and they do not dare to rashly change other people's finished products.

After the guest and the host talked, both sides spoke Akagi, and the relationship became more warm and intimate.

The head of the Lei family tentatively proposed a salary, and Director Qian readily agreed, but it made people feel a sense of emptiness that they had nowhere to use.

Director Qian is a good person, and after observing words and feelings, he knew that the Lei family was straightforward and simple, and there were not too many accidents, so he breathed a sigh of relief and apologized with a smile:

"Look at my brain, I've been in for so long since I came in, and I forgot to take out the gift." He put the gift slip in both hands, and waved his hand to tell his retinue to bring the gift in.

The junior of the Lei family was outside, and said in a chaotic manner:

"Let's lift, let's lift."

The head of the Lei family laughed angrily and scolded:

"Why are you so anxious?"

There was a stupid junior who was just outside the door:

"In our house, how to make the guests do things."

The Lei family scolded angrily:

"You spoon, you are not innocent, whoever released it, go back and kneel in the ancestral hall."

This is scolding the junior for being a fool in the vernacular.

The crowd laughed one after another.

Director Qian's gifts were laid out in the hall, and the Lei family, from the uncle to the juniors, all held their breath.

The fabrics and Shanghai sweets are colorful, but the key is the ten shiny Western pocket watches and ten bundles of cigarettes. Let the abacus beads in their hearts be in a big bang, according to their own talent status, can they be shared?

The head of the Lei family didn't want his family to be rude in front of outsiders, so he self-deprecatingly confessed to Director Qian, put away all the gifts, and distributed them later.

After another period of chaos, the Lei family held a big banquet and invited Director Qian to take a seat.

Director Qian was also chatting and laughing freely at the banquet, but the so-called banquet of the Lei family was a bit strange.

The dishes are, scrambled eggs with sugar, scrambled eggs with salt, and scrambled eggs with spicy spicy eggs. Stir-fried bean sprouts with sugar, stir-fried bean sprouts with salt, spicy stir-fried bean sprouts. Stir-fried tofu with sugar, stir-fried tofu with salt, stir-fried tofu with spicy taste.

Director Qian was puzzled in his heart, but his face did not show it, he was still very polite, let him eat a few bites, and let him finish drinking immediately.

I thought in my heart, the strange banquet in the strange place, let's follow the local customs.

This so-called feast was eaten from mid-afternoon until the palm lamp. Director Qian couldn't bear to be uncomfortable, and he was also full.

After dark, at the Lei family's banquet, a few big dishes suddenly came up, chicken, duck and fish, decorated with shredded green onion soup, very fat.

Li Si, a pharmacist who accompanied the guest, hurriedly stood up, half-covered Director Qian with his body, and said with a smile:

"I'm full, I'm full, I'm not going to be able to hold on, we're going to leave."

Director Qian is a good person, and he doesn't blame the pharmacist Li Si for his own initiative, and he also smiled and bowed his hand, thanking the Lei family for his hospitality.

Everyone in the Lei family looked at their watch, but let out a sigh of relief.

Almost all the people of the Lei family went out to send them out of the gate. I made an appointment to visit them at the inn tomorrow, and took two lanterns to light their way.

When a few people walked away and turned a corner, the pharmacist Li Si wiped the sweat on his head:

"I forgot to explain to you, I almost came up with a story, the customs of this Badong County, the last few dishes, are the dishes for sending guests, they are all made of wood, you can only see it, you can't eat it."

"Made of wood?" Director Qian thought about it carefully, and the large plates of chicken, duck and fish under the light were also very decent.

"Thieves, their centuries-old customs, and they don't use them often recently, who knows that they will be used on you again, it is said that it is also polite and respectful, but you don't know this, if you move the chopsticks, it will be ugly."

Director Qian smiled bitterly, and was afraid to think about it.

The world is big, there are no wonders, the literati habitual practice, serving tea means to send guests, the last dish of the banquet, often on the ball soup, meaning that it is complete and complete, this is a recognized practice.

When the wooden dishes are served, the guests also have to express their satisfaction and thank the host for their sumptuous hospitality, which is a face-saving etiquette. This business trip really made Director Qian more knowledgeable.

…… Dividing line ......

Thanks to the little angel "Sister doesn't play well" for the peace charm.
