… When it was almost time to have dinner, the boy from Yang Chen's family ran back sweating profusely, and as soon as he entered the house, he saw He Kun sitting inside, slightly stunned, holding a basketball and looking a little overwhelmed.
"What are you doing? Call people, call uncle. Yang Chen was very dissatisfied, seeing that school was about to start, this year was the year of the college entrance examination, and he was playing so crazy, he didn't say hello when he saw the guests coming to the house, he didn't have any courtesy, and scolded with a black face.
"............" looked at his father's gloomy face, Yang Hu was really a little worried, seeing that He Kun was not much older than himself, let him call uncle, Yang Hu was still a little unable to speak, his face was flushed, and he didn't say it for a long time.
"Hehe, each has its own opinion, I'm not much older than you, just call Big Brother." He Kun saw that this kid was a little anxious, and said with a smile, if he really called himself uncle, he would be a little embarrassed.
After hearing He Kun's words, Yang Hu hurriedly shouted with a smile, and didn't dare to look up to see Yang Chen, so he ran back to his room, which made Yang Chen shake his head helplessly, glared at his son's back, and was angry.
The dinner is very rich, although only the sister-in-law is served, but the color and flavor of the cooking are complete, it is very tempting, braised carp, stir-fried yellow eel, add a lot of red pepper, Sichuan pepper, the taste is extremely attractive, plus the home-raised chicken, the stew is really tender and crispy, and He Kun can't put down the chopsticks when he eats.
Some other side dishes are also quite brilliant, plus the freshly picked coriander from the vegetable garden, washed and fished in a boiling pot, cut and mixed with fried peanuts, and it is fragrant.
After Yang Chen saw that all the dishes were served, he smiled and went back to the house and took out a transparent glass jar, which was filled with amber liquid, which followed Yang Chen's steps and hit the body of the can.
"Taste it, it's home-brewed pure mead, and see if it's going to be in the mouth?" Yang Chen smiled and put the wine jar on the table.
This made He Kun feel very surprised, mead himself had heard of it, it was a high-quality wine in Europe and Western countries, not to mention expensive, and it had a good effect on the body, but he didn't know that in fact, this kind of wine had been brewed in the Celestial Empire for more than 3,000 years.
According to research, I have seen mead in the Western Zhou Dynasty in 780 B.C. Zhou Youwang palace banquet, which is inspired by the "ape wine" to try to brew successfully, the legend of the ape made by the wine is actually its leftover pot by fermentation, the name of ape wine, to the Tang Dynasty, the pharmacist Su Gong from the brewing came to the natural fermentation experience of "where to make wine liquor and whiskers, and grapes, honey and other wine do not use koji". And in the Tang Dynasty, Sun Simiao had already begun to use mead to treat rubella, ringworm and other diseases, and provided earthwork for honey winemaking.
The ancients once sighed: "The wine evaluation is too good to laugh at Yikang, and the mistake is to destroy ten thousand grains in the cup." Honey is now brewing jade liquid, how strong is Jindan. Verses.
Seeing that He Kun's gaze never left the can, Yang Chen couldn't help laughing.
Nowadays, few people have heard of mead, and when they learned that honey can also make wine, they all felt incredible, and they were no different from He Kun now.
Maybe he had seen too much of such a scene, Yang Chen didn't say anything, and directly opened the cork, and a rich, honey-unique fragrance emitted out, "It's so fragrant." He Kun couldn't help but sigh, this fragrance was tempting He Kun's throat kept making swallowing movements, and his eyes were staring straight at it.
………………
"Hehe, come, let's go." Yang Chen raised his glass and signaled to He Kun, He Kun picked up a cup of mead that Yang Chen poured for himself, put it under his nose and sniffed it carefully, a domineering sweet and greasy fragrance of honey came to his face, killing He Kun in an instant.
After the unique aroma of honey is brewed, not only does it not lose its original taste, but it is more intense, just smelling it makes He Kun want to stop.
Talking and laughing, more than a dozen catties of mead were swept away by the two, fortunately, the degree is relatively low, only a dozen degrees, otherwise these two people don't know what it is like to be drunk, in short, this meal He Kun ate quite happily, when he left, he said that the next time he had a chance, he must invite Yang Chen's family to have a good meal, and when they were separated, Yang Chen took out a jar of mead from the back room and gave it to He Kun, but He Kun was willing to ask for nothing, and under the stalemate, in the end, he only gave fifty yuan as a symbol of his surname.
After riding a car to deliver the things He Kun and He Kun bought to the foot of the mountain, after learning that He Kun had called someone to help move it, Yang Chen said goodbye to He Kun and stared at Sanlun all the way slowly towards home.
Looking at Yang Chen, who was gradually moving away, He Kun felt a little in his heart, he was a good person, but he was tortured by life, so he should take care of it as much as possible in the future.
After drinking some space spring water and relieving his strength, He Kun sent the things on the ground into the space and strode towards the mountain.
Back in the village, it was already six or seven o'clock, the sky had begun to darken, under the silver moonlight, a quiet and vibrant, crystal stars in the endless black sky flashing moving light, the mountain village under the dark night, a little hazy lights, like countless eyes that seemed to be open and closed. The rich and fresh and intoxicating air was extremely charming at this time, all of which made He Kun feel extremely intoxicated.
Back in the yard, He Kun and his grandparents talked about the things at home, especially the effect of the mother after drinking honey, which surprised the two old people, and the grandmother said again and again that she also felt that her health had been much better recently, not to mention that she really didn't take it seriously, even the old man's stomach disease has improved, and he has eaten more steamed buns and half a bowl of rice than usual recently.
After learning that honey can be used for a long time in the future, even the old man who is not smiling will laugh with wrinkles on his face.
Monday, morning, He Kun had a good night's sleep, washed his face, and after using some breakfast at home, he came to the greenhouse to check the situation of the test machine, and before he came to the front, he was shocked by the lively scene in front of him, the inner three floors, the outer three floors were full of people, some naughty children, climbed to the half-high tree branch and looked at it from afar, and heard Wang Baoquan and others shouting from time to time.
After a little effort, He Kun squeezed in, "This is?" He Kun looked at Wang Baoquan, who was covered in sweat, messy hair, and a little panting, hadn't you seen it all yesterday? Why are there so many people? Asked with some confusion.
"Who... Who knows, when we come in the morning, this... There are already a lot of people here, and they all have small benches, just like watching a play. If it weren't for the installation team, I'm afraid that before we came, someone would have rushed in. Wang Baoquan crossed his waist with his hands and said breathlessly, but he was tired, they were all from the villagers, and he didn't listen to what he said, and it was not easy to catch up, but it was delayed.
He Kun saw that it would not work like this, the test machine was very critical, and his personnel had to follow behind to learn to work and learn, but now they all ran to the side to act as security guards, and the scene was so noisy, it was estimated that they didn't know if there was a problem. After pondering for a while, He Kun told Wang Baoquan to maintain order and come as soon as he went.
He Kun knew that no one would listen to what he said, they were all watching the excitement, and no one wanted to listen to the words of a child's family, so he could only find the elders in the village to explain the actual situation and let the elders deal with it.
"Grandpa, grandpa." He Kun didn't care about resting, and rushed directly into the village chief's house, shouting loudly.
"Who? …… Early in the morning, this is called mourning. Grandpa Jiawang, who was full of displeasure, came out of the back room, roared loudly, and when he came out, he saw that it was He Kun, and he was suddenly a little embarrassed, and said with a red face and a smile, "Hehe, I thought it was my stinky little grandson, don't be weird." He Kun was pulled and prepared to go into the house.
"It's okay, grandpa, go and help take a look, my ......" He Kun eagerly said the important surname of the test machine, counting on grandpa to help persuade everyone.
"Made's, these old ladies, they have nothing to do if they eat too much, and they make trouble,...... You wait, and I'll go with you,...... It's the other way around. The old man suddenly exploded, and scolded angrily, isn't it nonsense!
I have been looking forward to the village to get rich, watching Xiao Kun finally get some industry for the village to come back, with the villagers to get rich, I heard that many children in the village have been recruited to work, the salary is higher than in the city, this bone, even come to such a show, if you annoy the partner, everyone go to drink the northwest wind, the more you think about it, the more angry you become, before going out to find a wooden stick to carry, then angrily rushed over, He Kun couldn't stop it, so he had to follow the persuasion all the way, don't move the guy, or you won't be able to do things in the village in the future.
Here, Wang Baoquan is still trying to persuade everyone, some aunts don't take it seriously at all, and laugh while knocking melon seeds, "Yo......, isn't this a child of the Cuihua family?" What's wrong, when I was a child, I still helped to pee, but now I don't know how to scream when I see my aunt, and I think my aunt is in the way, giggles. The crowd suddenly burst into laughter, so dry that Wang Baoquan's face was flushed and his whole body trembled.
"Go back to Lao Tzu, Ma De, do you take Lao Tzu's words as a deaf ear? Let's see that Lao Tzu doesn't smoke to death you losers. ”
Then he rushed into the crowd, picked up a wooden stick and beat ...... It doesn't matter whose family she is, even if it's her own daughter-in-law, she still comes with a few sticks, shouting while beating, "I don't clean up, I'm disobedient." The person who maintained order next to him gasped neatly, this clan's hand is really dark, I don't know how many sisters-in-law and daughters-in-law of the He family slept with tears in their eyes this night.
After a while, the people on the inner three floors and the outer three floors disappeared without a trace, leaving behind a small bench that made people unable to believe what had just happened.
After solving the battle, the grandfather panted with a wooden stick, standing in the middle of the field, majestic, eagle eyes looked around, only to show a slightly satisfied look, after a short rest, walked to He Kun, who was still in a daze, and said indifferently, "Xiao Kun, next time you have something to do, just look for me, I promise to get it for you safely." Frightened, He Kun hurriedly shook his head, how can there be a next time, only this once, I don't know how many people will be resentful, and hurriedly took a few steps back, hoping to widen the distance between him and the old man.
Seeing He Kun's movements, He Jiawang was a little puzzled, and then reacted, and somewhat understood He Kun's concerns, the old man didn't say anything more, and after pondering for a while, he said, "I'll solve this matter." Then he turned around and told the descendants in the village one by one that they should work hard, this opportunity was not easy to come by. After finishing speaking, he left slowly with a wooden stick.
