Chapter 281: The Guests at the Farmhouse
As soon as the fat man entered the courtyard, he casually found a table under the grape trellis, sat down, and didn't care whether he wanted to go to Li Siyan or something, he slapped the table and shouted, "Boss...... ...... owner"
A woman in a white uniform came out in response and smiled: "Two little brothers, is there something wrong?" ”
Originally, since it is a hotel business, there are guests coming, and most of the young ladies who welcome them will ask what they want to eat, but although this farmhouse is not a big hotel in the town, the consumption here is not low.
The fat man knocked on the table and said, "What do you have the best food here, help bring me a dozen or so first, our brother is hungry." ”
It turned out to be eating, and this breath is not small, as soon as you open your mouth, the best food will cost more than a dozen, which will cost thousands of yuan!
The woman quickly smiled and said, "It turns out that she is taking care of our business, so ...... Our specialties here include cold salad with artemisia, braised duck feet, vinegared tiger ears...... The most famous is the five-leaf celery produced in Wulitang. ”
The fat man waved his hand: "Whatever is delicious, just serve something, I'm a little hungry." ”
The waitress looked at the fat man's bulging pocket, nodded, turned around and shook it into the house, and after a while brought a teapot of boiling water, brewed two cups of tea, put them on the table, and then went into the house to prepare the meal.
The tea is good, there are only less than ten pieces of tea in the disposable plastic cup, and the boiling water is rushed in, and after a while, the whole cup of water will become pale green, and there is a faint tea fragrance.
Xu Dong held the teacup, slowly sipped the tea, looking at the back of the waitress, Xu Dong was a little puzzled, what is Artemisia oil, can you eat it? The duck's feet are similar to the chicken's feet, but they don't have much to gnaw on, tiger ears, shouldn't it really be tiger ears, and what kind of five-leaf celery, the name is weird, it seems to be very powerful, it looks like fairy grass, but I haven't heard of these things.
"Hey, Brother Dong, don't be so tasteless, okay?" The fat man said with a smile while drinking tea: "Now, rich people are interested in this, this is called green food, and ordinary people can't eat it." ”
Xu Dong smiled wryly: "I know about green food, but you know that I haven't been out of the city much since I was a child, and I don't know a lot of things." ”
The fat man smiled: "That's right, if even people like you know that they have eaten it, where do people go to make money?" Hey...... But the average rich recognition will not say so, lose your share! ”
Xu Dong was puzzled: "I haven't been to the countryside much, I don't know it, I don't know, what's so embarrassing!" ”
"Wrong! What era is it now, everyone pays attention to experience and experience, when you say this, people will know at a glance that you are a nouveau riche who is stupid and has a lot of money, and you can't even count as a local tyrant, don't you feel ashamed? ”
Xu Dong smiled, and he really didn't feel that he had lost anything.
In the midst of laughter, the woman had already begun to serve, a red lacquered tray with two pairs of chopsticks, and in the bowl, which was not much bigger than a fist, were some deep-fried golden, slightly browned potatoes, mixed with pearl-like rice, and a plate of cold grass roots.
As soon as he saw this, Xu Dong couldn't help but be surprised, in the past, most of the time, the potatoes Xu Dong ate were used to cook, and since he was a child, he has never eaten such a meal! Also, this plate of grass roots is quite rare, I have never seen it myself, and I don't know how to eat it.
The fat man smiled, couldn't wait to take the rice bowl and chopsticks, first clamped a piece of potato and put it in his mouth, and then clamped some grass roots, together with the potatoes in his mouth, chewed together, while chewing, the fat man still closed his eyes slightly, as if enjoying it to the extreme.
Seeing that the fat man was enjoying eating very much, Xu Dong also learned from the fat man, but as soon as Xu Dong put the potato in his mouth, he immediately spit it out, this potato was a little big, and it was very hot, and he couldn't eat it.
The fat man looked at Xu Dong spitting potatoes on the ground, and squeezed out four words very dissatisfied: "Tyrannical Tianzhen!" ”
After the hot energy in his mouth passed, Xu Dong only felt that there was a slight sweet fragrance in his mouth, which was very delicious, which was not the same taste as the potatoes he used to eat.
Xu Dong tasted the rare fragrance in his mouth slightly, and quickly picked up a piece of potato again, this time, Xu Dong not only blew on the potato, but also only took a small bite.
When the potatoes entered his mouth, Xu Dong chewed them slightly, and his mouth was suddenly filled with that rare taste, especially the browned pot on the top of the potatoes, which tasted crispy and crispy, and it was really fragrant! Immediately afterwards, Xu Dong picked up some grass roots again and put them in his mouth, the grass roots were very crisp and spicy, but the taste was not very good.
Just watching the fat man keep stuffing this grass root into his mouth, chewing it and making a "poof, puff ......" sound, Xu Dong is a little strange, this potato rice is delicious, don't say it, this grass root is really so delicious?
The fat man ate a bowl of potato rice in an instant, handed the bowl to the waiter who came to serve the food, and then said to Xu Dong: "You have never lived in the countryside, of course you don't know, this potato rice, for us rural babies, is a kind of childhood memory, a taste of home, in the countryside, what we eat is the food produced in our own fields, this potato rice is also a kind of rice often eaten at home, I remember, every time I eat this kind of rice with grandma and grandpa, I will eat a lot of ......"
When he mentioned grandma and grandpa, the fat man's voice became a little low, and it seemed that the fat man missed his deceased relatives very much.
After a long time, the fat man continued: "...... Also, this vegetable is not a grass root, this is a wild vegetable, the scientific name is Banlan root...... You just started eating it, and you didn't think it was good, but after eating it a few times, you became addicted......"
Xu Dong was taken aback: "It's still addictive, isn't it toxic?" ”
The fat man glanced at Xu Dong disdainfully: "I mean this thing is delicious, you are used to eating it, you will always taste this taste, and I still want to eat centipedes every day!" ”
Xu Dong smiled wryly, it's delicious, it's delicious, why do you say it like smoking opium, tablets, and addiction, it's so terrifying, you don't want to scare me, right? ”
At this time, the waiter brought the dishes one after another, most of them were things that Xu Dong had never seen, some of them, Xu Dong thought they were delicious and delicious, and some of them were not used to eating.
For example, the cold salad of Artemisia oil, almost the same as the blue root, has a great weed taste in the mouth, and even a little bitter, which makes Xu Dong a little unaccustomed to it.
However, the fat man said that Artemisia oil, in the past, in the countryside, was cut to feed pigs, but now, it is considered "green food" and people use it as a vegetable.
Also, tasting this artemisia oil, in fact, you have to eat it before you can feel the fragrance, and there is that this artemisia oily artemisia is wild, as long as it is hooked with the word "wild", most people in the city like it.
In general, this meal, these dishes, are very rare for Xu Dong before, or have not eaten at all, which makes Xu Dong feel that the food in this farmhouse is indeed better and more delicious than the things in some restaurants and hotels he has eaten.
The two of them were talking and laughing, eating and drinking, and when they were half-full, someone entered the courtyard again.
It is a relatively tall middle-aged man wearing casual clothes, bald most of his head, with a pair of eagle eyes, and a scar on his face.
The scarface entered the courtyard, chose a table on the side under the kiwi shelf, and the four of them sat down together, and then looked at Xu Dong and the fat man a few times, and then shouted: "Boss lady......"
The uniformed woman hurriedly came out, walked up to Scarface, and smiled very affectionately: "Ouch, Brother Wei, why did you come today!" ”
It turned out that the woman in uniform turned out to be the proprietress here, and Xu Dong and the fat man were both blind.
The scarred face surnamed Wei said quietly: "Oh, come here all the way, delay the time, uh, the old rule, bring me a table......"
The proprietress smiled and replied, "Prepare early, Brother Wei, you sit down for a while, and you will come right away." ”
As she spoke, the proprietress went back step by step to prepare Brother Wei's meal, and within a while, there were three or four girls wearing the same uniform, serving food and delivering food with the proprietress together.
At this time, Xu Dong realized that in fact, this small farm courtyard was far from being as deserted as he and the fat two saw it, just a waiter, not to mention several!
After the dishes were served, the proprietress smiled and said, "Brother Wei, you use it slowly......"
Scarface, surnamed Wei, nodded slightly, signaling for the proprietress to leave.
It's just that after the proprietress left, the surnamed Wei, as well as his three bodyguards, didn't move the dishes and chopsticks, but sat there quietly, as if waiting for someone.
It's just that at this time, Xu Dong's eyes will glance at the lockbox in the hand of the bodyguard who cut the head of the three bodyguards.
The surface of the lockbox of the three bodyguards is all silver, but only the lockbox in the hand of this board is shrouded in a layer of golden yellow aura.
Moreover, this aura is very strong, showing that the contents of this lockbox should be extremely valuable.
The other two bodyguards, one with a Chinese character face, one with a five-short figure, the lockbox in their hands, the breath of one lockbox is brown, and the other is blue, all of which are far less strong than the breath of the box in Bancuntou, and its value should not be very high.
Xu Dong was eating slowly, and at the same time, he secretly thought, if the old man in the antique street was right, this scarface surnamed Wei should also be here to trade, however, the old man said that under normal circumstances, the auction transaction is around two o'clock, but now it is almost five o'clock, and it is said that the transaction should have ended long ago.
I and the fat man, hurrying slowly, I was still a step late, and when I got here, everyone went home.
In other words, if Li Siyan hadn't been delayed at this time, he should have already embarked on the way back, and he and the fat man had run this trip in vain.
