In the evening, Lijiagou Village, Erlong Township.

Under the bare locust tree at the entrance of the village, Li Tiangui, wearing a gray cotton jacket, stood alone, looking out on the road ahead.

When Ranzi came back at the beginning of the year, he donated 70,000 yuan to the village committee, and later the village raised 50,000 yuan by itself, making a total of 120,000 yuan to rebuild the stone road. Now the road is smooth and smooth, it is much easier to walk, and there are no more potholes everywhere like before, and even the tractor has to struggle.

"Uncle Tian Gui, what are you doing standing outside on a cold day? Don't go home to eat yet. "There were villagers passing by to say hello.

"Nothing, wait for someone. I'll be back in a moment. Li Tiangui replied absentmindedly, his eyes still staring at the intersection in front of him, for fear of missing it.

Twenty minutes later, with the sound of a horn in the distance, a small green truck appeared in view. If you get closer, you can see layers of white plastic boxes stacked on top of the carriage.

Finally waiting, Li Tiangui hurriedly ran to the road, stretched out his right arm and waved at the oncoming car.

The car gasped and came to a halt not far in front of him. The car door opened, and a black-faced man in his thirties stepped out.

"You're Uncle Tian Gui, right?" The black-faced man asked.

"It's me, you're the big cow that Ranzi said?" Li Tiangui nodded in agreement.

"I'm a big cow, great, Uncle Tian Gui, it's getting dark, I'm afraid I won't be able to find it." Feng Daniu said happily.

"It's cold outside, go home first, and talk about it when you get home."

Li Tiangui said, and with the help of Feng Daniu, he boarded the cab of the truck, and the truck restarted and drove towards the village under the command of Li Tiangui.

After a while, the truck came to the courtyard of Li Tiangui's house in the north of the village and stopped.

"This is it, go first and have a hot meal, ready-made, and then have a good rest, I'm ready for the room." The quilts are all dried during the day. Li Tiangui said enthusiastically.

"Uncle Tian Gui, don't be too busy, we are all very casual, we can eat and have a full stomach, just have a place to sleep." Feng Daniu hurriedly said a few polite words.

The three of them got out of the car, and Li Tiangui pushed open the courtyard gate nailed with pine planks with bark, and walked inside with the guests.

The courtyard gate and earthen walls are still the same, and the three large tiled houses inside have been renovated. But it's just a renovation. In general, it doesn't look very different from the original.

In fact, Ranzi has sent him a lot of money one after another, but he is reluctant to spend it, and he doesn't want to make it too dazzling. It's just a few new pieces of furniture and appliances added to the room.

Half an hour later, Li Tiangui and his family, together with Feng Daniu and Xiao Dai, sat around the square table in the center of the main room, enjoying the fragrant and steaming peasant meal.

"It's all home-made, nothing else, just eat steadily. Come on, big bull. Try this spicy chicken, this is the chai chicken that my family specially raised this year. Your aunt's specialty, let's see. Li Tiangui said, raising his right hand to signal.

This is a plate of red, oily, chili pepper dry fragrance and chicken fresh fragrance mixed together, after driving for a long time, the cold and hungry Feng Da Niu and the two saw this. I couldn't help but move my index finger, and the saliva in my mouth suddenly flooded.

"Uncle Tian Gui, then I'm welcome." Feng Daniu said. Pick up a spoon with chopsticks and put it in your mouth.

Numb, spicy, fresh, fragrant, you can describe this dish in four words, Tuchai chicken is really different from the feed chicken in the city, the meat is delicious, the taste is good, the elasticity is enough, there is a chewy head, and the more you chew, the more you have the taste.

"Hey, it's delicious, this chai chicken is just different. And the craftsmanship of this stir-fry is also very good, and it is similar to the chef in our restaurant. Feng Da Niu praised while munching, the dried chili pepper was so hot that he inhaled, and quickly shaved two bites of rice and pressed it. …,

"It's really tasty, much better than the chicken in the supermarket in the city." Xiao Dai also put down his chopsticks again and again.

"Hehe, this chai chicken grew up eating insects and grains and vegetables, and he didn't feed a mouthful of finished feed." Li Tiangui saw that the two of them were eating sweetly, and his face covered with pleats couldn't help but smile.

Aunt Tian Gui listened to Feng Daniu praising her craftsmanship, and she was also so happy that she pursed her lips.

"Big Niu, Little Dai, do you want to drink something? The weather is warm and cold. Li Tiangui said as he got up and took out a bottle of liquor from the chest of drawers.

Aunt Tian Gui also put the washed wine glasses on the table one by one.

"Such a good dish, I really have to drink two sips. Let me see, ho, Tianhai Daqu, Uncle Tian Gui, your family's living standard is good, this wine is more than 100 yuan a bottle. Feng Daniu took the wine bottle, opened the cap with a screwdriver, and poured a glass of wine for everyone.

Ranzi's second uncle and aunt were really enthusiastic, he thought in his heart, and gradually let go, and he was no longer restrained like a family member.

"Where, it's not the beginning of the year, Ranzi brought a box back, except for giving it away, the others were left. The old man was reluctant to drink it, and kept it as a treasure until now. Aunt Tian Gui explained.

"Hey, what are you talking about?" Li Tiangui glared at his wife dissatisfied, this old lady has a lot of words.

"Hehe, it turns out that Boss Li is still filial. Xiao Dai, then you are even more welcome. Come, Uncle and Aunt Tian, I will toast you. Feng Daniu raised his glass and invited, and then drank it all.

In addition to spicy chicken, there are also farmhouse dishes such as fried beans with bacon, fried lettuce with egg fungus, and green vegetable and tofu soup, which taste quite good.

Good wine and good food make people appetite, and after a while, everyone sweats on their foreheads after eating, and the winter chill is dispelled cleanly.

After dinner, Feng Daniu asked Xiao Dai to help Aunt Tian Gui clean up the dishes and chopsticks, and he discussed with Uncle Tian Gui about the purchase of firewood, chickens and ducks tomorrow.

"Da Niu, don't worry about this. It's all Ranzi's business, and I, the uncle, have to check it for him. I've been checking door-to-door in the past few days, and the chickens are fine. In the afternoon, I informed the families and asked them to get ready, and they will be sent to you in cages tomorrow morning. You can just inspect and receive the goods in my yard. I have already explained that the chickens are not allowed to be fed within five hours before catching, and the water is also less fed. They are all honest and trustworthy dealers. The purchase price given by Ranzi is not low, and it can't make him suffer. Li Tiangui informed Feng Daniu of the current situation.

"Uncle Tiangui, then thank you. We brought special plastic chicken cages with us in the car, weighed the overdose and returned their cages. "Feng Daniu is very happy, Uncle Tian Gui is very thoughtful, so it will save a lot of trouble.

"I also have a scale here, which I borrowed from the village council. Just proofread, very accurate. Li Tiangui continued.

After the two discussed the acquisition, Li Tiangui took Feng Daniu to see the prepared wing room and let them rest early.
