Chapter 297: The Long Street Banquet begins
The second day after Wang Hai returned home was the traditional Chinese New Year, that is, the twenty-third day of the lunar month. On this day, according to local customs, it is a day to clean the house and clean and hygienic.
However, the two lazy fathers and sons just pretended to sweep a few cobwebs on the roof, and then began to prepare for the long street banquet that will start tomorrow!
"You don't really make big fish stews, do you? Isn't it too simple? Tell me about you, as a disciple of the three master chefs, should you take this opportunity to perform well? ”
Wang Hai chased after Wang Yong's buttocks, very tenacious, and did not give up trying to persuade Wang Yong to make some dishes that looked good and tasted more attractive, so that he could give himself a good face!
It's just that he didn't get a response from Wang Yong at all, and he could only watch Wang Yong stew a few big mackerel with a length of more than one meter in a big iron pot, and Wang Hai couldn't help it? Before he came back, he proudly told the neighbors around the farm that he was going to have a long street banquet in his village, and fortunately he sent an invitation to the people.
Originally, he was just a subconscious habitual invitation, but if you are a domestic person, you will understand 100% that people are just guests, and they don't really invite you.
But, but, people in the United States don't have so many twists and turns, right? So, he happily agreed on the spot, and cautiously asked Wang Hai if he could bring a few more people with him.
At this time, what can Wang Hai, who sees his face bigger than the sky and heavier than his life, say? Is this a major event that has a bearing on our country's reputation in the international community?
"No problem! Come on! You can come as many as you want! ”
When he waited for the plane back to China, Wang Hai's heart had always been wow cool, he would never have thought that so many people would come! Not to mention anything else, there are a total of three families around the farm, in addition to the Chinese family, there are two other big bosses, big landlords, and rich people in the United States!
The family is a Montana legislature. He told Wang Hai that he would run for governor next year, and he took the trouble to talk to Wang Hai for a long time about his political ideas, such as eliminating racial discrimination, improving national treatment, reducing military spending, and increasing trade with China, which is becoming more and more prosperous.
In fact, as soon as Wang Hai heard him say that he wanted to increase trade with Huaxia, Wang Hai had already secretly decided that his daughter-in-law must vote for him next year!
Now the American market is not easy to enter than the perverted place of small Japan! It's almost the same as South Korea! With the exception of Japan and Russia, the amount of vegetables and beef produced in the village is exported to any small country in Europe than to the United States!
This is naked trade protection! Wang Hai also thought about waiting for Huaxia to join the WTO in the future. I also went to appeal myself, and increased the ambition of the Chinese people or something!
Because Wang Hai's family bought tens of thousands of acres of land, this kind of large-scale investment is definitely not possible for non-rich people to come up with such a large amount of money.
In the United States, a country where money is paramount, it is certainly important to be valued by the highly motivated Montana Congressman Mr. Brown. Because it also let Wang Hai know that sycophants are not unique to us Chinese people? Foreigners shoot it really not at all with Chinese people!
In the other family, even Wang Hai, a Chinese who went abroad for the first time, couldn't help but shudder after hearing his unique surname, this surname is so famous that Wang Hai, who has not read a book for a few days, has heard it countless times.
Because the director of this neighbor farm is surnamed Morgan!
Carl Morgan, it's 5,000 acres. The owner of a farm with fertile land and dense forests and rivers. The third in line to the Morgan family!
I forgot to mention that because he had two extremely business-minded and gifted older brothers above him, he was proud to work as a teacher whom he liked. Now he is a professor of history at a famous university in the United States, a doctoral supervisor, a world-renowned archaeologist, and an expert in cultural relics. Collector, foodie, writer......
The 30,000-acre farm was built when his father decided to dedicate his life to education as an adult. One of the gifts given to him as compensation.
Probably because he is a researcher of history, and Huaxia is the only country in the world that has never broken off its history for 5,000 years, so Wang Hai's family in this country has received the friendship of him as a historian.
When he heard that Wang Hai's hometown actually had a custom of inheriting a tradition of thousands of years old, he had already taken the initiative to come over and have a look without waiting for Wang Hai's invitation.
As a result, the local tyrant teacher decided to charter a plane with his twenty-six students to experience first-hand what this thousand-year-old custom is like.
It's just that, after all, he is an internationally renowned scholar, and he laughed at Wang Hai's shameless behavior of pressing the customs of the Hani people on his head. Just because the title of professor is for nothing? For the Tao here, I'm afraid Wang Hai doesn't know as much as anyone else!
It's just that, because he has never been to China, Carl's rest is just from books, and this time I can have the opportunity to experience it in person, which is still very helpful for studying the customs of China.
As an important figure in the Morgan family, if they hadn't checked Wang Hai's identity, how could they have let him go so easily to the only big country in the world that can make the United States helpless.
What's more, they have learned that Wang Hai has also invited the heirs of the Ford family and the Rosschild family to participate in this long street banquet, compared to Carl, in front of those two, there is a big gap in age and status.
It is precisely because of this that when he came back, after hearing that his eldest son was lazy this time and wanted to make a simple fish stew to pass the trouble, his first reaction was - how can this be?
I invited so many big people from abroad to praise your cooking skills to the sky, and you took a fish stew to send people away? Where are you going to put my old face?
"Okay, okay, I said Dad, you are really, you were infected by others when you went abroad? Why are you so unenlightened? What is the Long Street Banquet for? It is just an activity to unite the villagers and let all the villagers have one more communication, and the key is not in the food! ”
Wang Hai waited excitedly for the next step of his eldest son Wang Yong, with his understanding, Wang Yong would soon give a reasonable arrangement that satisfied him, no matter what he encountered for so many years, it was the same.
"You're just stupid! How can I have such a stupid father as you! Oh my God! What kind of sin have you done! Let me be such a smart great man who doesn't even grow hair, and have such a pit son's father, what are you doing here? ”
"Smack-"
"Don't talk nonsense to Lao Tzu, hurry up and get down to business! Tomorrow morning, the family will arrive, and I have to hurry up to arrange it, otherwise there will be no time! ”
When Wang Yong heard this, he directly covered his face, lowered his head, and had a faceless posture, and the angry Wang Hai held up his slap and wanted to give Wang Yong another time.
"Didn't you hurt just now?"
"Dad! You're smart and foolish! You said that there are several big people among the people who came, do you think the relevant departments of the state can not come forward? ”
Wang Hai was stunned, tilted his neck, and thought about it, too? The last time Lao May and Ford came over to fight that kind of big battle, this time there is a third heir to the Morgan family, and a future governor of the United States, so the country can't be indifferent, right?
But why hasn't anyone contacted me yet? This is not normal!
"Don't think about it! After you got drunk yesterday, the old secretary and I, Zhao Qiang, and Mayor Zhao all came over, that is, I wanted to tell you about their arrangements, but you slept like a dead pig, so I had to tell them to let them watch the arrangements! ”
"Smack-"
"Ahh
"Why are you still beating me?"
"I'm your dad! What's wrong with me hitting you? I do, my hands are itchy, do you have an opinion? ”
Wang Hai looked triumphant, holding his slap and eager to try, but in the next second, he ran away without a seed.
"Grandma!"
"You're busy, I'll go to our restaurant and have them prepare a meal."
"It's a little like that, is it really when the master is not covered? Lao Tzu's backstage is big! Wang Yong said to himself with a smile on his face.
"It's coming, it's coming, what's wrong? Is your dad pestering you again? It's so unbelievable, how can it be? Why does he have to let you cook for them? ”
Mrs. Ye is getting more and more energetic, she is eighty years old, her eyes are not dazzled, her ears are not deaf, her legs and feet are still very neat, and she jogs for half an hour every morning, easily!
"No, I went to set the menu for Wang's dishes, and he was going to arrange a few tables there to entertain his foreign guests. Okay, let's not talk about him, my fish stew is almost done, how about you help taste it? ”
After speaking, Wang Yong looked like a treasure, took out a piece of fish with a spoon and put it in a big bowl by the boiling table, this fish piece was cut so huge, just such a piece filled half a bowl.
Scoop a few more spoonfuls of fish broth from the pot, and the large bowl is almost full. Wang Yong hurriedly took a pair of chopsticks and handed a small soup spoon to Mrs. Ye.
"Would you rather have the soup or the meat first?"
For the filial piety of her eldest grandson, the old lady never refused, and immediately smiled at the soup spoon, asked for a spoonful of fish soup, put it to her mouth and blew it, feeling a little colder, and then carefully took a sip.
A mouthful of fish soup in her stomach immediately made her eyes light up!
It's so fresh! It's delicious, it's delicious!
Wang Yong stood aside, watching the old lady drink the fish soup with a satisfied face, thinking that the fish soup made by Lao Tzu's ancient method would definitely make the group of foreigners who had little knowledge feel the charm of Chinese food, right?
The sun soon set over the mountain in the west, and the land became dark. Then when I woke up, this Wangjiazhuang was already lively before the sun rose from the mountains in the east.
Wangjiazhuang's long street banquet has begun! (To be continued.) )
PS: I have to pay off the mortgage today, I have a headache! Why did you choose an ICBC loan at that time? Every time I pay the money, I have to take a car to the county.
