Chapter 308: Generosity (2)
Chapter 308: Generosity (2)
When so much food was brought into the kitchen, not only was the table full, but there was also a lot on the floor. The old principal and the old village chief came to the kitchen and were startled, and the old principal said, "Xiaohe, why did you buy so many things, how can you eat this?"
Qin Zihe smiled and said, "Old principal, can you eat slowly if you can't eat?"
The old principal said, "It's so hot, it's going to spoil in a few days, and I can't eat it."
"Oh" Qin Zihe then remembered that the mountain village was very poor, and there might not be anyone with a refrigerator, let alone a freezer
Chu Yao didn't expect Qin Zihe to let people buy so many things, seeing that the old principal was a little worried, he thought about it and said: "The old principal, the old village chief, I think it's better to be like this, put a big pot outside, stew these meat and fish, and invite the whole village to come and eat."
When the villagers who were helping in the kitchen heard this, they all looked at the old principal and the old village chief with a look of hope, they eat meat all year round is very limited, except for eating some meat on the New Year's Day, it is difficult to see some meat stars in the dishes usually, seeing that Chu Yao wants to invite everyone to eat meat, they are very happy, but they are afraid that the old principal and the old village chief will not agree.
The old principal agreed with Chu Yao's proposal very much, and immediately said: "There have been no great joys in the village for so many years, Teacher Chu's return from the United States can be regarded as a great joy, the village should celebrate, just do what Teacher Chu said" Speaking of this, he pointed to the kitchen villagers and said: "Big Niu, Erhu, Tiezhu, you go home and call your mother-in-law to help" and pointed to several other people and said: "Zhang Laosan, you go home and move two cauldrons, Niu Erbao, you find a few people to build two stove pits outside, and others can do whatever they can"
After the villagers happily agreed, they went to do their own things, Chu Yao accompanied the old principal and the old village chief back to the kang in the house, Xiao Yuan teacher washed all kinds of fruits brought by Zhao Lei and brought them up directly in an aluminum basin, Chu Yao knew that the old principal and the old village chief were old and had bad teeth, so he picked up a banana for one of them and handed it to them, and the two old men happily took it and ate it.
The children who were crawling on the window swallowed their saliva when they saw so many fruits, and many of them had never seen before. Seeing this, Chu Yao picked out some mangoes from the basin and walked to the window, and distributed them to the children through the window.
Two large stoves were set up in the yard, the two big pots that Zhang Laosan moved were the big iron pots used for sauerkraut before winter, a big iron pot was enough to hold five buckets of water, the most important thing in the countryside was firewood, the cauldron was set up and lit on the fire, the water in the pot boiled after a long time, the meat here has been cut, the bones were also removed, the bones and meat were stewed together in the pot, the two big silver carp were also cleaned up and cut into several sections, put them in another pot and stewed up, and when the pot boiled again, the village was full of fragrance. The villagers who had come to help with the work, watching the excitement, holding pots and bowls and waiting for the meat to be served, gathered more and more, and their faces were full of happy smiles......
There are more than 100 households in the village, a corner of pork is only more than 70 catties, and there are more than 50 catties left after removing the bones, and a catty of raw meat can only be cooked out of seven taels, and half a catty can be out of three taels and a half, that is to say, a family can only get more than three taels of meat, and the same is true for two tarpon fish, which is less than 30 catties together, and a family can not share much fish and meat after cooking. The best stewed pork is sauerkraut vermicelli, although there is no sauerkraut this season, but there are cabbage and spinach in the field, and I got together more than 30 catties of vermicelli from door to door. Of course, you can't add cabbage and spinach to the stewed fish, the eggplant tastes, and the eggplant is full of fish flavor, and the eggplant is in the field, just send a few people to pick it, and at the same time divide some vermicelli and add it to the fish pot, stew it full of two large pots, even if the whole village goes out to work and the people come back, it is enough to eat
The kitchen is even more busy, all four stoves come in handy, a pot of stuffy rice, a pot of boiled potatoes, eggplant, bud rice, and at the same time steaming the soybean sauce under the countryside, a pot of stewed pork ribs and beans, and the rest of the pot of stir-frying, Teacher Xiao Yuan commanded several mothers-in-law in the kitchen to carry out in an orderly manner, very handy.
After the meat and fish were stewed, Niu Erbao and his mother-in-law filled a small pot for the villagers' families, and the villagers went home with the meat and fish to satisfy their hunger. There are four tables on the four kang of the east and west houses of the old principal's house, and on the south kang of the east house are the old village chief, the old principal, Chu Yao and Qin Zihe. On the north kang are Zhao Lei, Zhang Jing, Ning Hong and Xiao Yuan, and a large round table is placed on the north and south kang of the West House, and Xiao Yuan leaves the villagers who help to eat.
Zhao Lei knew that Qin Zihe liked to drink Moutai wine, and when he came, he brought four bottles, and the villagers were all good wine, if he gave these wines to them, it was still enough, but it was obviously not enough for the descendants who helped, so he went to the village shop, bought all the better wine in the store, and sent it to the west floor for them to drink casually.
The old principal and the old village chief also have a sip, they usually drink Lao Baigan, that is, the loose liquor from the small pot, when they saw that Zhao Lei gave them Moutai wine, they were very surprised, they had only heard that Moutai wine was used in the state banquet, and they had never seen it, but they didn't expect to be able to drink this kind of wine in person today, which is the blessing of Teacher Tuochu
Zhao Lei's idea is very simple, among these people, Zhang Jingninghong definitely doesn't drink, he has to serve Qin Zihe and can't drink, only the old principal, the old village chief and Qin Zihe can drink, four bottles of Moutai obviously can't drink, if they insist on giving two bottles to the descendants of Westinghouse, they don't drink enough at all, it is better to leave these two bottles of wine to the old principal and the old village chief, he can see that Chu Yao and Qin Zihe have great respect for the old principal and the old village chief.
Eggplant and potatoes mixed with sauce, shallots and cucumbers dipped in sauce, Chu Yao and Qin Zihe ate very deliciously, the old principal and the old village chief saw that they didn't pick up the meat, thinking that they wanted to keep it, so they put meat in their bowls. Seeing the happy appearance of the old principal and the old village chief, Chu Yao made an exception and drank a cup of Moutai with them.
In the afternoon, when she accompanied the old principal and the old village chief to talk, Chu Yao also briefly introduced the situation of herself and Qin Zihe over the years, but she only said that after graduating from the United States with a doctorate, she opened a financial investment company, and she didn't say how rich the company was, but just said that the company's business was not bad. When talking about Qin Zihe, she only said that he returned to Songjiang to work after graduating with a master's degree in economics, and was transferred to Huihe to work at the beginning of the year, but did not say that he was the mayor, she wanted to leave it to Qin Zihe to say it herself. But the old principal and the old village chief didn't ask, and Qin Zihe couldn't just say that I was the mayor of Huihe
When he learned that the old principal had taught all his life and was still a private teacher when he retired, Chu Yao couldn't help but glance at Qin Zihe reproachfully. Qin Zihe felt very innocent, one was that he didn't know the situation of the old principal at all, and in addition, how long did he just become the mayor When it came to Teacher Xiao Yuan who went back to the village to teach for three years, and now he is not a private teacher, just a substitute teacher, Chu Yao finally couldn't help but say to Qin Zihe: "Zihe, I will leave the matter of Teacher Xiao Yuan to you, private teachers can't do it, they must be turned into public teachers."
The old principal had retired, and it was too late to make amends, Qin Zihe knew that Chu Yao did this to give the old principal some compensation to Teacher Xiao Yuan, so he hurriedly agreed: "Okay, auntie, this matter is on me"
The old principal and the old village chief were very surprised when they heard the conversation between Chu Yao and Qin Zihe, it is not easy for a substitute teacher to become a private teacher, and it is even more difficult to become a public teacher, and Qin Zihe agreed without hesitation, now he is not sure what Qin Zihe is doing, I regret not asking just now, and now the question is obviously a little inappropriate.
"Teacher Yuan's name is Yuan Li, right?" Qin Zihe asked the old principal, and when he nodded, he turned his head to Zhao Lei and said, "Zhao Lei, you remember this matter, and find the Education Bureau to solve it after you go back."
"Okay, mayor" Zhao Lei pointed out Qin Zihe's identity very knowingly
"Ah, you are the mayor" Teacher Xiao Yuan was very shocked when he heard Zhao Lei call Qin Zihe the mayor, and couldn't help asking, the old principal and the old village chief were also very shocked, looking at Qin Zihe expectantly, waiting for him to give an answer
Qin Zihe looked at Teacher Xiao Yuan and said with a smile: "Yes, if you have anything that you can't solve in the future, call me, I will definitely help you solve it."
Teacher Xiao Yuan nodded vigorously and said, "Well, if there is anything difficult, I will definitely call you in the township."
Chu Yao was very surprised that there was not a phone in such a big village, everything she saw and heard today couldn't help but make her think deeply, this is the land that once raised her, and now the villagers are still so poor, she must help them do something
After thinking for a while, Chu Yao asked, "Zihe, how much does it cost to build these thirty kilometers of mountain roads and dirt roads into asphalt roads?" ”
Although Qin Zihe is not very clear about this, he also knows a little about it in the process of highway bidding, the asphalt road that Chu Yao said is similar to the three-pole highway, and he thought for a while and said: "Two or three million is almost enough"
Chu Yao said: "Okay, I'll pay a million dollars, you are responsible for repairing this road for me, and the rest of the money will expand the school, electric classrooms, laboratories, playrooms, indoor gymnasiums and other certain functions must be complete, and build more houses, and if there are teachers who are willing to work here in the future, they will be divided into a set, and if they have worked here for five years, they will be given away for free, in addition, in addition, in addition...... I can only think of so much for the time being, you can plan slowly after I leave, anyway, things that are conducive to teaching here, and things that are conducive to the prosperity of the villagers, you can pay from here."
"Ah" The old principal, the old village chief and Xiao Yuan were shocked when they heard that Chu Yao took out a million dollars as soon as he made a move, although they didn't know how much a million dollars were worth, but they knew that the dollar was very valuable, and even Zhao Lei, who was sitting on the north kang, was very surprised when he heard it, he knew that one million dollars was converted into yuan, which was more than five million
