Watching the helicopter roar away, Wang Dafu couldn't help but swallow his saliva, "Zhou Shao, this, which way is this immortal." ”

Zhou Quanbei lit a cigarette, slowly exhaled a long breath, glanced at Wang Dafu, patted him lightly on the shoulder, and walked straight to the car in front.

~~

Jingshi, Yuquan Mountain, Zhangfu.

It's almost 12 o'clock, the New Year's bell is about to ring, and the children are running around the yard happily, and a few naughty little boys even run to the corner and set off firecrackers.

But inside the gate of the compound, seven or eight chefs wearing chef robes were holding their arms and rolling up their sleeves, waiting for the battle, and next to them, a huge iron pot was already boiling a pot of boiling hot water.

I can't help them not work so hard, tomorrow will be the old man's 89th birthday.

In Chinese culture, 8 and 9 are the most auspicious numbers, and ordinary people are afraid that most of them will have to be special, not to mention, it is a prince like the old man.

However, the old man had already spoken, in order to be diligent and thrifty, this birthday could not be held in a big way, but only invited a few familiar old friends and a group of relatives and friends of the Zhang family.

But this thing is easy to say, but how dare the people below take it seriously?

What's more, after decades of inheritance, the old Zhang family is just relatives, and I am afraid that there are more than 100 people.

Since early yesterday morning, the old man's secretary personally went to the logistics department and transferred more than a dozen chefs to help.

The Chinese New Year's Eve dinner has already been eaten, and these chefs have already gone to rest, recuperate, and prepare for tomorrow's birthday banquet.

But at this time, there was a sudden news that the eldest lady had hunted a wild boar in the mountains, and it was said that it was not small.

The old man has children and grandchildren around his knees, but he has no daughter, granddaughter, and only the eldest lady, a single seedling, since the eldest lady was born, he was regarded as a treasure by the old man, and he was afraid of melting in his mouth, and he was afraid of falling in his hand.

The eldest lady is really competitive, first graduated from the National ~ Defense University with excellent grades, and then, she was exchanged to the United States West Point Military Academy as an intern instructor.

What West Point is is a place, these chefs don't know.

But I heard that there seem to be several presidents of the United States, and the eldest lady can be an instructor there, thinking about it, it must be amazing.

However, in the Zhang family, there is a secret for the eldest lady that few people know.

Back then, the old man drank too much, slapped the board on the wine table, and gave the eldest lady's family affairs with the old man's old comrades-in-arms and old friends, and the grandson of a brother in the trench back then.

If it is a beautiful day and a heroic beauty, it is also a good story.

It's a pity, the good story is just the beauty of the literati's fantasy, although that young man, although he is also famous in Sijiu City, but it is notorious......

The eldest lady is so good, how can she be willing to serve the evil with her body, and this contradiction is gradually derived.

Since going to the United States, the eldest lady has not been home for more than two years, and the old man is looking forward to the stars and the moon, but there has been no news for a long time.

The old man also knew that Niu Shao seemed to be a little unreliable, unstable, and sometimes regretted it, and lost his words after drinking.

But ~, as a hero who came from the war years, and a brother on the kang, how can he still take it back if he says it?

What's more, in recent years, although the Niu family has not made much achievements in the army, several sons-in-law have been lucky and rising, and they have been in the limelight for a while, and they have extraordinary influence in the political circles.

Although the kid of the Niu family is stubborn, to a certain extent, as the eldest son of the old man Niu and the eldest grandson of the eldest son, he can be regarded as worthy of the eldest lady.

Although the old man regretted it, he didn't have much to do, he only hoped that he could love his pearl before his baby granddaughter got married.

It's a pity that the eldest lady also followed the old man's temperament, but she refused to bow her head to her family, and she didn't even go home, so she hid far away in the United States.

Fortunately, tomorrow will be the old man's 89th birthday, and the eldest lady also sent back the news in advance to come back to celebrate the old man's birthday.

At this time, there was the roar of a jeep outside, and after a while, a huge military jeep stopped at the door, and the eldest brother-in-law, Zhang Dingguo, jumped down from the car quickly, "Hurry ~~, come and help." This guy is a bit big. ”

Several cooks had already packed up their tools and hurried up to help, but they saw the eldest lady jumping down from the other side of the car, but there seemed to be some tears on her face.

"Miss." Several cooks hurriedly nodded respectfully to the eldest lady.

The eldest lady's eyes were a little red, she nodded to them, and walked directly to the courtyard.

Zhang Dingguo looked at her departing back and sighed slightly.

A few chefs didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly came to the back of the car, but when they saw this behemoth behind the car, several people couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

Oh my God.

This, this is also a big deal. This, this is simply a wild boar essence.

Several people hurriedly took the strength of the old nose to get this guy into the yard, disemboweled, and walked on the process.

Zhang Dingguo had been watching from the side, until the big guy was even cleaned up in the water, and he suddenly shook his head with a smile.

That little guy is really interesting.

However~~, this wild boar is really good.

~~~~~

The night passed quickly.

The old man's birthday is the first day of the Lunar New Year, and Zhang's mansion is several times more lively than usual.

From early in the morning, there is an endless stream of people who come to greet the New Year and celebrate birthdays.

The eldest son of the old man, the father of the eldest lady, Zhang Qianqiu, who is now the first deputy director of the General Political Department, personally took several children and grandchildren to greet the guests outside.

In the back hall, in the kitchen, it was a busy day.

A few chefs have already tried the ingredients first.

Although this wild boar is large, it has very little fat, and although the meat is a little coarse, it is extremely delicious, and it is really a high-quality ingredient.

A few people are fortunate enough to use this to cook, which is really the creation of life.

At this time, the eldest lady walked in, her face was already much better, and she was not wearing a military uniform, but a casual, wide sweater, slender and simple jeans, outlining her almost perfect figure.

Although there is no makeup, his face is already overwhelming.

"A few masters, I'm in trouble. This braised pork, you must do it with your heart. Grandpa loved this dish the most. The eldest lady said softly.

Several chefs hurriedly reassured: "Miss, don't worry. We must come up with 200 percent of our craftsmanship. ”

The eldest lady checked the ingredients again, and then she was relieved and walked outside.

~~~~

At this time, Zhang Fuzhongtang, the old man's old comrade-in-arms, the old political commissar of the year, Mr. Guo, was laughing and chatting with the old man.

On the table, two cups of fragrant tea have been placed.

The service staff didn't dare to disturb the interest of the two old men, they were far away.

"Old Zhangtou, I heard that your granddaughter got a wild boar, I don't care, today, I must try it here." Old Man Guo was not polite to Mr. Zhang at all, and sat on the chair with a big grin, with a smile on his face.

Although he was born as a political commissar and a top student of Yenching University, Rong Ma has not had too much literati temper in his old man's life, and he has a good relationship with Mr. Zhang.

Old Man Zhang couldn't help but smile, "I said, Lao Guo." I knew that your nose was longer than Zhu Bajie's. What's wrong? Do you think of the wild boar we hunted in Taihang Mountain? ”

Guo Lao also smiled, "Oops~, it's a pity." There were too many wounded soldiers and too little pork, so I couldn't even eat a few bites. But that smell. Hey~, it's really fragrant. To this day, when I think about it, it's still drooling. ”

Zhang Lao couldn't help laughing, "Then today, I can take care of the old man." Make sure you're satisfied, okay. ”

The two were talking and laughing, it was already past ten o'clock, Zhang Qianqiu hurriedly walked in, and whispered to Zhang Lao: "Father, the guests are almost here." The table will be open soon. ”

Zhang Lao couldn't help but smile, "Okay." Lao Guo, let's go, let's go eat. ”

Guo Lao also laughed, "Walking." ”

At this time, the guest hall outside was already full of friends, and there was no shortage of faces that ordinary people could only see on the news.

However, the crowd was divided into two waves, on one side, there were all well-dressed middle-aged people, and on the other side, there were all men in military uniforms.

Seeing Zhang Lao and Guo Lao coming out at the same time, everyone couldn't help but get up and say hello, and the high-ranking friends in the political circles on one side were a little better, and they were more reserved.

But next to it, the high-ranking friends of the military system are undoubtedly much warmer.

"Old chief, Little Beanzi has come to see you. I wish you good health and a long life. ”

"Old leader, I wish you happiness like the East China Sea and longevity than Nanshan."

Old Man Zhang couldn't help laughing, couldn't help patting this one's shoulder, and holding that hand, these people, those are all old brothers who rushed out of the rain of bullets.

Next to him, there were some young people, seeing Old Man Zhang coming over, they couldn't help but get up hurriedly and say hello again and again.

The big secretary next to him explained beside him: "Boss, this is the grandson of Commander Dou, this is the grandson of Minister Wang, and this is ......."

Old Man Zhang nodded slightly to them, his face full of spring breeze.

Soon, the banquet officially began, but it was the 'treasure offering' link.

Of course, the children don't need to do this, but the grandchildren are all doing their best, just for the old man Bo to smile, and the future is bright.

"Grandpa, this is the ancient jade that my grandson received a few days ago, I heard that when it is coiled on the body, it can drive away the cold and keep warm, remove moisture, and have a good effect on your joint disease."

The first to play was the eldest grandson Zhang Dingguo, and as soon as his gift came out, he couldn't help but attract applause and praise.

Old Man Zhang nodded, but his face was cold, "Didn't you say don't break the bank?" Why is this even the case? This jade is expensive, isn't it? ”

Zhang Dingguo hurriedly said: "Grandpa, I am dissatisfied with you for saying that this jade cost a little money, which is enough for my salary for a year." However, for the sake of your body, the grandson ......"

Old Man Zhang was still angry, but on the side, Guo Lao said: "I said Old Zhangtou, you see, the cow's temper has come up again, right?" This is a child's heart, and you don't steal or rob, what are you doing? ”

Seeing Guo Lao's words, Old Man Zhang accepted Gu Yu, but he scolded Zhang Dingguo for being bloody, even though Zhang Dingguo was wronged, he was helpless.

Soon, several grandchildren offered gifts one after another, of course, all of them were rare and strange things, but they were all bought with money, and they were not very pleasing to the old man.

At this point, it's constellation's turn.

Xingcai respectfully saluted Old Man Zhang, "Grandpa, granddaughter wishes you happiness like the East China Sea and longevity than Nanshan." It's just that the gift I gave you is a bit special. ”

As he spoke, Xingcai clapped his hands, and soon, Xingcai's younger brother, a boy who was only thirteen or fourteen years old, walked up with a plate of dishes.

This is exactly a plate of braised pork.

However, unlike ordinary braised pork, this plate of meat is crystal clear and fragrant, even from more than ten meters away, you can smell its fragrance, and everyone can't help but stretch their necks.

Xingcai smiled, "Grandpa, this is my first gift to you. However, this is not what I hunted. As hard as I tried, it was just too fierce. It was a friend of mine who fought for his life to subdue it. Grandpa, you can taste it. ”

Old man Zhang looked at his precious granddaughter with a smile, picked up a piece of chopsticks, put it in his mouth, and couldn't help but change his face.

Although Guo Lao was greedy, Old Man Zhang didn't speak, and he didn't use his chopsticks, so he hurriedly swallowed his saliva and said to Zhang Lao: "I said Lao Zhang, can you slip a little bit." Didn't you wait here? ”

Old Man Zhang hurriedly swallowed the meat pieces and said with a smile: "If you want to eat it, you won't clip it yourself." ”

Old Man Guo hurriedly took a piece of meat, put it in his mouth, chewed it a few times, and swallowed it violently, but said, "I said Miss Cai, do we still have this meat?" I've got it all. ”

As he spoke, he was like a child, and brought the plate directly to his side and ate it.

Old Man Zhang couldn't help but be anxious, "I said Lao Guo." This is what my granddaughter gave me, you want to eat, you let your grandson go hunt for you. ”

Seeing the two old men like this, everyone couldn't help but be stunned, Xingcai was also angry and funny, "Grandpa, Grandpa Guo, don't fight between the two of you, I have prepared a lot, everyone has a share." ”

Guo Lao stopped at this time, but asked like a child: "Good girl, really?" ”
