Chapter 122
About an hour later, Qi Shan shouted: "The auspicious time is coming!" Please come with me! ”
The voice was too penetrating, and the women of the Lu family in the east room were all nervous, and they all stood up, and Mrs. Lu was a little excited, shouting to go outside to see the excitement.
Yulan said: "Mother, we are all female dependents and it is inconvenient to go out, so let's stay in the house." ”
Lu Pozi sat down again and muttered to herself: "Yes, this is the city, I thought it was in the village, there is a lively scene in the village, how can I miss it." ”
Yulan sighed: "It's really inconvenient for the Qi family to have no female dependents, we didn't even have a person to entertain when we came, we didn't sit or stand, and we didn't stay when we left, hey!" Considering that he didn't plan to come, the husband said that Qi Shan had opened his mouth to invite, and it would be bad if we didn't come. ”
Wang Dongmei also said: "Yes, I'm used to staying at home, and I suddenly came to a strange city and a strange house, and my heart was empty, and I didn't have the confidence to do anything, sister-in-law, did you say that the countrymen went to the city to say that I was like this!" After saying that, he pursed his lips and laughed.
Yulan also laughed, "Isn't it, those of us from small places in the countryside will inevitably be constrained when we go to the big city, and in the eyes of the people in the city, we will feel that we are a small family." ”
The two of them laughed, and the atmosphere suddenly became much lighter.
Wang Dongmei said: "No wonder my sister-in-law is so unaccustomed to returning to the village, if I come to live in the city, I will not be used to it." ”
Yulan said: "It's only temporary to be unaccustomed, and you can get used to it after living for a while." ”
Xiao Geng shouted that he wanted to go out to see the excitement, Lu Xiaoyi actually wanted to go out to witness the grand opening of the ancient era, but Mrs. Lu resolutely disagreed. She was worried that there were many people outside, what if there was a crutch and kidnapped Xiao Geng away!
Lu Xiaoyi thought about it, after all, the city is different from the countryside, the neighbors know the roots, and every merchant has to keep an eye on other people's three-layer skins, let alone other strangers. Of course, the villagers are not malicious stalkers, but out of gossip, always trying to find out which guest the visitor is and why he came. Is something going on? Such gossip mentality makes the villagers especially concerned about strangers entering the village.
At this time, there was a crackling firecracker, and Xiao Geng was even more anxious, and he had to go out.
Mrs. Lu dragged him over and held him in her arms. Good words coaxed. Until the firecrackers stopped. He pouted and broke free from Mrs. Lu's arms, ran to the window again, and looked out through the crack in the window.
Lu Xiaoyi pushed the window open halfway. A strong smell of saltpeter came to the nostrils, and you could hear bursts of noisy human voices, and the atmosphere was very lively.
Xiao Geng said regretfully: "Eldest sister, the artillery battle must have been picked up." ”
What this kid was worried about was the artillery battle, Lu Xiaoyi smiled and hammered his small bun, "Don't worry, no one will grab a small artillery fight with you, and the guests will leave in a while, and the eldest sister will take you out to pick it up." ”
Xiao Geng smiled and nodded, hoping that the guests would disperse soon.
The guests all sent congratulatory gifts, and there was an opening banquet waiting for them, which would not disperse until they were full of food and drink.
Qi Shan wrapped a few tables of tables in the drunken eight immortals in the west of the city, and the banquets of the Lu family's daughters were sent by the restaurant, and a large table was set up together.
Mrs. Lu smiled, and said that the father and son of the Qi family were lacking in heart, but now they changed their words and praised Qi Shan's thoughtfulness, and Yulan and Wang Dongmei were also overjoyed, and they were in a very happy mood.
Yes, how can it not be pleasant! It's the first time I've eaten the noodles of a big restaurant when I've grown so big, and I'm really gluttonous and reluctant to put down chopsticks in the face of all kinds of dishes and dishes.
Lu Xiaoyi didn't have so many ideas, and it was good to look at a plate of quail eggs, and quickly sandwiched them into the bowl with his hands and eyes.
Mrs. Lu said: "Tsk, look at this egg is really small, I don't know how the chickens in the city grow?" Lay such a small egg. ”
Wang Dongmei smiled, "Mother, where are these eggs, they are clearly bird eggs!" ”
"Eggs?" Mrs. Lu was puzzled, "How many bird's nests do you have to dig for?" Tsk, the people in the city really know how to eat! ”
Lu Xiaoyi wanted to popularize quail eggs with her grandmother, but she endured it or shut up, and still didn't find trouble for herself, lest she finally explain the quail eggs clearly, and she fell into the trap again, and she had to dig out her mind to explain how she knew that this was a quail egg.
When Xiao Geng heard that it was a bird's egg, he was interested, and shouted to eat it, Yulan helped him clip one, and he stuffed it in his mouth with a mouthful.
"I don't know what it tastes like?" As she spoke, Mrs. Lu also stretched out her chopsticks to clip it, but the quail eggs were small and round, and she slipped off after clamping them a few times.
Lu Xiaoyi helped her clip one and said with a smile: "Grandmother, it's not easy to dig out a bird's nest, you eat more." ”
Mrs. Lu ate it, smashed her mouth twice, and said disappointedly: "Doesn't this taste like eggs?" ”
"Grandmother, eggs are eggs, bird eggs are eggs, as long as they are eggs, they are a taste!"
"Since it's all the same flavor, why don't you use eggs, and you can dig out the bird's nest? Tsk, these city people are so troublesome! Mrs. Lu immediately lost interest in quail eggs and began to eat meat dishes.
The dishes in the big restaurant pay attention to the color, flavor and flavor, followed by the quantity, while the country banquet is the first in terms of quantity, followed by the color and fragrance. The audience is different, and the style of the table is also different.
For example, now, I think the brown sugar elbow is delicious, and if one person holds a few chopsticks, the elbow will be gone; I think the crispy chicken is delicious, and after the chicken thighs are distributed to Xiao Geng and Xiao Ding, the chicken is gone; I think the freshly fried crispy meat is delicious, and one person divides a few pieces, and the plate will bottom out......
Mrs. Lu complained: "What kind of broken restaurant is this, cooking stingy like this?" Can't you do it more? ”
Lu Xiaoyi smiled, "Grandmother, the restaurant is in business, how can you make money if you have a lot?" ”
Yulan knew Mrs. Lu's temper, for fear that she would complain to Qi Shan, so she quickly explained: "Mother, although the portion of the dish is small, there are many varieties!" You see, the three of us adults are on such a big table, how bright Brother Qi is! ”
Mrs. Lu nodded, continued to eat, and after a meal, the second child in the restaurant came over to clean up the cups, plates, and bowls.
The men were still eating and drinking in the restaurant, and Lu Xiaoyi saw that there was no one in the courtyard, so he took Xiao Ding Xiaogeng out of the east house.
Xiao Geng has a strong interest in the wooden pile in the corner of the courtyard, he doesn't know how to fight, but he hangs the pile hand like a little monkey to play, Xiao Yi and Xiao Ding slipped to the front store, and saw that there was a person in the shop on the right to guard the shop, this person was Zhang Tieniu.
The joy of the opening, Zhang Tieniu also dressed neatly, changed from a short brown dress in the past, and put on a muslin robe at the bottom of the box, but his tall and big figure did not match the style of the flowing caftan, which looked a little inconsistent, and he himself was a little restrained, not at all as casual as in the past, as if he was bound by his nature by clothes, which was very awkward.
Xiaoyi Xiaoding walked over lightly, but Zhang Tieniu was smart and turned his head to look at them.
Lu Xiaoyi greeted Zhang Tieniu with a smile.
Although Zhang Tieniu was familiar with Xiao Yi, Xiao Ding was the first time he had seen him, and he was such a well-behaved and beautiful little girl, he immediately became restrained, his dark cheeks could not see the flush, but his ears betrayed him.
Lu Xiaoyi knew that he was rough on the outside and shy on the inside, so he generously introduced: "Uncle Zhang, this is my sister Lu Xiaoding, Xiaoding, this is Uncle Zhang." ”
Xiao Ding obediently shouted Uncle Zhang, Zhang Tieniu hummed, very quietly, it happened that someone came to sell cakes, Zhang Tieniu immediately transferred to selling cakes, and Xiao Yi Xiaoding also walked to the counter to help him.
The person who came was an old customer, and he was familiar with Zhang Tieniu, and said with a smile: "Yo, Brother Tieniu, where can I invite the little girl?" You don't know how to learn from the south of the city, do you? Invite a tofu Shih Tzu to come, and the business is so good! ”
Zhang Tieniu said in a rough voice: "Go, go!" Less fucking crash, say, how many creampies? Hurry up and get out of the house after buying! ”
That person knows Zhang Tieniu's temperament, he doesn't have to open his mouth when he can joke, he can't joke less, he will provoke him to lose his temper, he can lift himself up ten times, and he can make up for a few more kicks when he falls to the ground.
The man laughed and peeled off the stubble and said, "Three sesame seeds!" ”
Zhang Tieniu took three sesame scones and threw them over, shouting: "Twenty-one Wen! Give money! ”
Zhang Tieniu's hand strength was not covered, and the three scones were like three stones smashed towards the man, and the man swayed and caught the cakes, and the last one didn't control his strength and cracked a hole.
The man laughed and said, "Ouch, Brother Tie Niu, can you hold it steady, look at this cake is cracked!" ”
Zhang Tieniu said: "What's wrong with the crack, you have to break it when you go home!" Hurry up, give money to money, twenty-one articles! ”
The man exclaimed, "Why has the price increased, yesterday it was still six cents a piece!" ”
"Newly opened today, the cakes have risen by a penny, love to buy or not!" Zhang Tieniu was impatient.
The corners of Lu Xiaoyi's mouth twitched on the side, what kind of service attitude is this, the waiter has a tiger's back and a bear's waist, and he looks strong and rough, not to mention it for the time being, just talk about his dragging attitude, if you love to buy it or not, you can mess up the business!
Who knew that the man said: "I don't want to buy it either, my wife wants to eat, can I not buy it?" But then again, this cake is really delicious, especially the sesame flavor gets more and more fragrant the more you chew it. ”
Xiaoyi Xiaoding heard outsiders praise her cakes for being delicious, and they were all happy when they looked at each other and smiled.
Zhang Tieniu was also very proud, "That's for sure, Yifu City is the only business, except for us, you can't buy it anywhere!" Forget it, seeing that you are an acquaintance, you can sell twenty cents and three cakes! ”
The man was very happy, gave twenty wen and said to Zhang Tieniu: "Why did Mr. Qi say that he changed careers?" Wasn't dart dry in previous years? ”
How do outsiders know about the competition between dart games, Zhang Tieniu will not say clearly, "The back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, and the front waves die on the beach, we don't want to die on the beach and change careers!" I'll tell you, don't think that we can be bullied if we change careers, we can still cut people with a knife! ”
Zhang Tieniu was telling the truth, and the man was also convinced, nodding and saying: "That's that, but the Qishan Dart Bureau is also famous for talking about rules, and never slashes people!" ”
"Aren't you talking nonsense? We're going to cut people indiscriminately, how can we sell bread here now, they're all in prison! ”
At this time, two more aunts came to buy cakes, and Zhang Tieniu waved at the man: "Go, go, don't delay my business, please drink when the sky is changed!" The man ate his trick and walked away happily. (To be continued......)
