Chapter 41: The Feast

The old man and his grandmother also knew that their son, daughter-in-law and two grandsons had returned, and they were a little anxious after waiting at home for a while.

Wang Xing knelt on the ground when he saw the old man, Wang Liu also quickly pulled Wang Erniu and Su Bai to kneel, not to mention Wang Xiaobao, kneeling faster than anyone else, Wang Xing knocked his head on the ground, and said with a crying voice: "The son is not filial, he has not been able to serve the second elder for a long time, and he hopes that his father and mother will forgive him", the old man laughed, and saw that his son and daughter-in-law were back, patronizing and happy, where do you still care about these things, in the past, Wang Xing was helped up and said: "A manly man, he should make money to support his family, and his father is not unable to move now, I don't need you to stay by my side every day, listen to Wang San, our family has opened a shop in Chang'an? ”。

Wang Xing hurriedly nodded and said: "That's right, Dad, our family now has a shop in Chang'an", the old man suddenly smiled, and grandma was also smiling and couldn't see her eyes, and the old man only saw the two grooms waiting at this time? Hurriedly asked his daughter-in-law to pour water for the two guests, and then asked Wang Xing to help unload the car. Put all the New Year's goods into the warehouse, settle the wages for the two grooms, the two grooms were about to leave, Su Bai stopped the groom with the shed carriage, and made an appointment with him to pick him up on the first day of the New Year.

Wang Xing naturally knew what his son was looking for a carriage for, but the old man was a little puzzled and asked, "Eldest grandson, what are you doing on the first day of the first lunar month?" Su Bai ran to the old man's side and said: "My grandson also opened a shop with my classmates, and I asked my husband to show it, saying that the first day of the Lunar New Year was an auspicious time and an auspicious day, and it was set to open on that day", the old man was shocked when he heard it, and his grandson will only be nine years old next year, and he will open a store in Chang'an?

Looking at Wang Xing in disbelief, Wang Xing nodded with a smile and said: "That's right, Da Niu also opened a shop, Dad, our family now has two stores in Chang'an, if you want me to say, how good it is for our family to move to Chang'an next year, and it is convenient for me to take care of your second elder", the old man shook his head and said: "No, our family still has five acres of vegetable land, isn't it a pity not to plant it?" God will punish us", and then thinking that the Spring Festival was about to come and there was not a single snowfall, the old man sighed deeply and said: "It's too early to say this, it hasn't snowed until now, God doesn't give you food, you don't give you food."

Su Bai saw that the old man was in a bad mood, and hurriedly changed the topic and said: "Grandpa, my father and I bought two sheep and came back, and we will kill them in a while, go and call our neighbors and friends over, let's treat you today!" Our family sells sheep soup in Chang'an, you haven't drunk it yet, let you try our craftsmanship today." The old man loved Su Bai very much, and when he heard Su Bai's words, he nodded with a smile, touched Su Bai's hair and said, "My eldest grandson has the ability, better than your father!" Better than grandpa! Hahaha, okay, I'll let your father call them all over in a while, and we'll kill sheep today! Wine and dine someone! ”。

Wang Xing agreed, and went to inform the neighbors happily, and asked Erniu to call Wang San and Zhuzi's father to come over to help, Su Bai was idle, and was pulled by his grandparents to ask questions and west, the old man's question is very simple, nothing more than food and clothing, food, clothing, housing and transportation, simple words, but the friendship in the words is very real.

Hearing that Wang Xing's family was treated, a large number of villagers gathered in the yard soon, a few strong and strong people carrying sharp knives, two poor sheep, and this ended a short and fulfilling life~ The old man sat at the door happily, and he was not afraid of the cold, watching the villagers in the yard busy, a few who did not intervene went back to their homes to carry some firewood, and simply used a few big stones to build a temporary stove in the middle of the yard, and put a huge black pot on it, and began to boil hot water, waiting for a while to stew sheep.

The women of the family also gathered at Wang's house, but they didn't help with the men in the yard, some made some simple preparations in the kitchen, and some listened to Wang Liu's bragging in the wing, and the atmosphere was very lively for a while, and Su Bai felt warm in his heart when he looked at it. This kind of lively scene, he didn't see it in his previous life, everyone is a building, close, but the distance between people seems to be far away, and I have never seen so many people with smiling faces helping to kill sheep, cook, and prepare, it feels really good.

When Wang San's family came, the sheepskin was peeled off, the butcher in the village was deboning the mutton, and the pillar father also rushed over, he came more slowly, and the mutton had already been put into the pot when he came, and Wang San was throwing seasonings into it from time to time, with a strong smell of mutton soup, and the yard was fragrant.

Wang Xing is still calling people home, the cattle village is not big, only fifty or sixty households, and the population is only more than 200 people, it is a very small village, and if it can be notified, Wang Xing will try to notify it as much as possible, and call the family to drink a bowl of hot soup. The villagers are also very enthusiastic, and they don't come empty-handed to eat, or bring some bad wine or side dishes. No one would say anything, but when he left, Wang Xing would bring him some and let him take it home for his daughter-in-law and children to eat.

In the afternoon, the mutton soup was finally boiled, everyone came with dishes and chopsticks, they also knew what happened to Wang Xing's family, who would prepare these dishes and chopsticks? Several old men held a big bowl of mutton soup, covered with a sheet of dough fried in lard, squatting in the corner and talking about yellow jokes, and from time to time there was a sound of lewd laughter. Now the children in the village have been adopted by Erniu, in front of the delicious, they have all become Erniu's loyal little brothers, at this time they are holding Erniu to give him their sweets and pastries, eating mutton, the little face is full of oil, and they don't wipe it, they each stare at each other hehehehesmirk. The women have to pay attention to it, the three houses in front of Wang Xing's family are all full, and the content of the chat is also varied, but the most talked about is Wang Liu's golden hairpin.

"Brother Wang, is the business in Chang'an easy to do?" A big man asked while drinking mutton soup, and when several strong men around him heard this, their eating movements became smaller, and they all wanted to hear what Wang Xing said.

Wang Xing thought for a while and said: "Chang'an's business is easy to do, but it also requires a skill, I am because of my family boss, Mr. Zhao, he got a secret recipe for making mutton soup from his mentor Mr. Zhao, and the mutton soup made is delicious to stand!" As soon as I heard Wang Xing say that it was the secret recipe given by the eldest son, everyone all leaked out of envy, and now who in the cattle village didn't know that the fool who only took a penny before had now worshiped the name of Mr. Zhao of "Mingde Academy". I even got such a secret recipe for making money for my family, and I can earn a little silver every day, who doesn't envy it?

Wang Xing looked at their envious expressions, as if it was so refreshing to eat a piece of chilled watermelon in the summer! After showing off enough, Wang Xing drank a mouthful of mutton soup, and said with satisfaction: "Do you want to make money together?" Several big men thought they had heard it wrong, and looked at Wang Xing in disbelief. Wang Xing is also a person who has seen the world now, looking at their stunned expressions, although it is also very enjoyable, he still repeated: "Do you want to make money together?" ”。

Several big men heard it clearly this time, and quickly nodded and said, "Think about it, how can you not want to?" Brother Wang, what are your ideas for making a fortune? Wang Xing pretended to be a genius that could not be revealed and said: "I'll talk about it in the evening", a few big men are scratching their hearts, and now I heard that there is a good way to make money, and even the sheep soup is a little bit undrinkable.

Wang San has been drinking a lot of mutton soup these days, and now he is holding half a bowl of bad wine, drinking a little too much, he came to Wang Xing's side slowly, sat down, and handed the bad wine in his hand forward: "Brother Wang, haha, happy, drink!" Wang Xing smiled, took the wine bowl and took a big sip, Wang San smirked: "Brother Wang, if you don't take care of your brother this year, I'm afraid that I will have to have a poor year this year, how can it be like now, there is food at home, money in my pocket, and my wife and children are hot on the kang, hahaha." Wang Xing patted him on the shoulder and said, "Say this, you will see the outside, drink." Wang San took the wine bowl and took a sip, and returned to the courtyard to serve the soup with a smile.

Su Bai became a child of someone else's family, and every woman who came in had to praise a few words, yes, Su Bai did not blend into the man's team, he was pulled by Wang Liu's side and became a tool for Wang Liu's to show off. Su Bai was responsible for laughing, and when a woman came in, she touched his head and praised him: "What a waking child", "What a cute child" and other very unnutritious praises. Su Baixiao's face stiffened, I felt that this was really boring, I came back to bring the villagers to get rich, not to be a mascot!

"Huh? Wang Xing's daughter-in-law, your eldest will be nine years old after the New Year" A woman sat on the kang and asked, Wang Liu nodded and said, "Yes, you will be nine years old during the New Year."

"The child is not young anymore, don't you have a parent? My sister's child is also eight years old this year, and the skeleton is big, and now you can see that it is definitely a good birth, and if you have time to bring it, can you see if it is suitable? ”。 When Wang Xing heard it, what? Are you kidding? You've seen anyone introduce an eight-year-old to someone! You can see that it's good to give birth to now! Oh, my God! At the age of eight, you can see good birth! Is that a girl?

Su Bai was just about to interrupt this, Wang Liu's eyes lit up, and he stared at the woman and said, "Okay, the eldest of my family is not small, if the girl looks suitable, my family will go to the dowry." As soon as I heard Wang Liu's mouth, several other women also began to chatter, this one said that his sister's girl was easy to raise, and the other said that his own girl was handsome, and the scene was chaotic for a while.
