Chapter 3 The Deliciousness of the Mountain People's Home

"I don't know where your guests are from?"

The hostess of the house went to the kitchen to work, after the child plucked the beautiful chicken feathers, and played with the little friends, the old lady still sat in the yard basking in her sun, and the man of the family pulled a bench and sat in the yard to chat with Gao Quan.

Since there are not so many benches at home, Orion feels a little embarrassed when he lets everyone sit. Fortunately, the surrounding villagers and neighbors are all warm-hearted, and after knowing that this family has guests, they put it together, but let Gao Quan and their big gang each have a bench to sit on.

"Oh, I'm from Tongbai County." Gao Quan replied casually. Of course, this is not a lie, his military headquarters is now in the county seat. "Dude, today's harvest is not bad! What do you think? Can you do the same in normal times? "Small talk, that's what comes to mind.

Orion heard that Gao Quan said that he was from Tongbai County, but he was stunned, and he casually agreed to Gao Quan's question, and after coming back to his senses, the corners of his mouth showed a wry smile, "Today is lucky, usually a month, I can't meet a wild boar." People in the mountains usually pick some mountain goods, mushrooms, fungus or something, and go to the city market to exchange money. Looking at the clothes on the guests, they are from the army in the county, right? ”

"Well, dude's eyes are good, all of us are soldiers!"

The two chatted and gossiped without a match, and no one interjected next to them. The military seat is talking, and he didn't name him, who dares to interject? It's the rule!

The hunter is not stupid, because he often goes to the county to sell mountain goods, he still has a little knowledge, and he didn't feel it when he first talked to Gao Quan, but after a long time, he found that these people around him were watching them talk. The feeling of being watched by several people at the same time is really weird, and when I look at the person who is talking to me, he looks like he takes it for granted, and the weirdness in my heart becomes even stronger. At the same time, the faint awe of Gao Quan is a little heavier.

Slowly, an enticing scent came from the kitchen of the Orion family. The children of the Orion family ran to the kitchen for a while to ask if the meat was cooked, and each time they were scolded by their mothers, but they still ran to the kitchen again and again.

Just when Gao Quan found himself beginning to swallow his saliva without making a living, the hunter's wife finally prepared the meal. A pot of stewed pheasant with mountain mushrooms, a pot of braised wild boar, a pot of cold wild vegetables, a pot of coarse rice, and a pot of wild vegetable soup.

A few simple meals, but the eyes of this group of well-dressed distinguished guests lit up. According to the rules in the mountains, women are not allowed to serve at the table. Looking at the table full of delicacies, and the head of the family only invited Gao Quan and his guards, as the proud daughter of the sky, Tang Da reporter was of course very angry.

However, seeing Hong Yingying standing next to her and smiling, she had no choice but to stand on the side, looking at the food on the table with resentment, and swallowing her saliva. Fortunately, the hostess of the house did not intend to starve these female guests, although they could not be served, the food on this table was backed up, and they could still be tasted in another place.

Jin Hu and the others have been with Gao Quan for a long time, so they naturally know Gao Quan's rules, and they are not polite when they should eat, and they sit down at the table and put down their chopsticks.

These few are not weak scholars, and the amount of food is not small. Putting aside the craftsmanship of Orion's wife is really good, and a few kinds of game are full of color and flavor, and several people have a great appetite. A table full of dishes, plus two jugs of spirits that Orion took out, ate and drank, and ate cleanly.

Gao Quan finished gnawing the last bone of meat and drank the liquor in the cup in one gulp, his head was slightly clouded, and he was in a good mood for a while. He wiped his mouth and took out a handful of silver dollars from his pocket and put them on the table. The shiny silver dollars collided, making a crisp sound of "dang chang", and the eyes of the equally drunken hunter on the opposite side suddenly widened.

"What are you?" Orion looked at Gao Quan suspiciously, even if all the game he hunted was sold in the market, at most he could be exchanged for three or four such silver dollars, but their table of dishes, plus the food eaten by the women next to him, added together, his prey was useless even half. You know, that's a whole wild boar! Although it is not the largest, there are also seventy or eighty pounds, of course a few people can't finish a meal, Gao Quan's silver dollar thrown out, but it is almost a dozen yuan!

"Brother, it's not easy to support your family. So many of us came over and ate all the money you were going to buy for your daughter-in-law, right? Hehe, don't be too little, you can take the money. Speaking of this, Gao Quan seemed to be a little unsatisfied, reached out and touched it from his pocket again, took out a business card and handed it forward, "I live in Tongbai County." If you encounter any difficulties in the future, just take this business card, go into the city and find a soldier to show him, and let him bring you to me. ”

Also, Gao Quan is now a veritable King of Tongbai, in this acre and three points of land, no matter what happens, isn't it just his words? Today is also his pleasure, another time, his business card, but others can't ask for it.

Orion still said goodbye, Gao Quan had already staggered and stood up, "Let's go, eat and drink, it's time to go!" ”

As long as he ate here, the women over there had already finished eating and were waiting on the side, and as soon as Gao Quan said to leave, Hong Yingying hurriedly came up and helped him. She is a high-ranking woman, and she is also the highest in terms of position, and Director Hong is of course the last qualified to come and help others. Huiqin had long been used to it, just smiling and watching from the side, while Tang Wenjuan's eyes were shining with envy.

Gao Quan and the others left, and Orion's wife came to clean up the table, and when she saw the stack of silver dollars on the table, she immediately asked her husband in surprise where the money came from. Orion grinned, "Hehe, our family has met a noble person today!" ”

The woman picked up the silver dollars and counted them several times, pinched them with her fingernails and blew them, put them to her ears and listened to the beautiful sound, and the smile on her face could not be stopped. This time, half a year's life at home has been settled! Fortunately, her husband was in a hurry to let himself cook at that time, if he neglected these distinguished guests according to his own temperament, how could he have this opportunity to make a fortune? The man in his own house is not only capable, but also knowledgeable! The woman looked at the man, her eyes overflowing with love.

Gao Quan was hugged by Hong Yingying and walked on the way back to the county seat. As soon as the mountain wind blew, the chaotic head suddenly cleared up a lot, and at first it was still a distant and swaying step, but slowly it became more and more stable.

Everyone discussed the meal they had just eaten, reminiscing about the rare delicacy, and Tang Wenjuan even proposed to eat it again every few days. These few silver dollars, Gao Quan is not unaffordable, but he thinks that he has run so far on the mountain road, just to eat a meal of game, how to think about it is ridiculous. Finally, after going back, should I send someone to find the hunter, fix the game, and ask him to send the prey to the military headquarters every few days? Well, the idea is still doable!
