It is easy to find out who spreads rumors in the village, and those who talk a lot are eager to tell the world what they know.

At that time, Cangshu asked Zhen Qiang to visit the village and record the names and addresses of those rumors.

"Auntie." Atractylodes called out politely.

"Oops." The eldest mother agreed repeatedly, and she was very happy to see Cangshu: "Xiao Cang has really grown up, I have listened to your uncle about your things in Ancheng, and you are really capable of letting your parents live in a villa." This time the village's message is that we are sorry for you. ”

The eldest lady of Atractylodes has been blaming herself since the rumors spread in her hometown, thinking that they were the trouble they brought to Atractylodes.

"Auntie, where did you say, how can you complain about you, it's all from the county order." Atractylodes said.

"Yes...... Xiaocang, your reputation ......" the aunt said worriedly, in the countryside, many people pursue a face, face and reputation are the most important, life can be wanted, but the reputation must be good!

Cangshu said indifferently: "It's okay, I don't live here now, they love to poke the backbone, let them poke, one day they will regret it." ”

"......"

"Auntie, uncle, don't talk about this matter anymore, tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival, let's discuss the family banquet." Cangzhu didn't want to discuss this issue too much, and it was easy for him to clear up the rumors.

The eldest bra pulled his daughter-in-law and motioned for her to say no more.

"Let's go and talk." The uncle shouted at Cangzhu and Cang's father into the house, and personally made tea to thank the things in the melon field.

The eldest lady's eyes were red when she knew it, and her gratitude to Atractylodes was beyond words, so she could only take out the best fruit snacks at home to entertain her.

Cangshu ate the watermelon brought out by the eldest lady and said, "Uncle, who will attend the family banquet tomorrow?" ”

"It's almost the same as before, your family, my family, your cousin is busy with work and can't come back, and your sister-in-law's family is also here, and the rest are some relatives who are more estranged, all of which are the relationship of your grandfather's generation, and after the death of our generation, these relatives will all be cut off." Uncle sighed, family relatives are sometimes so fragile, relying on the older generation to connect.

When the old people died, a big family was dispersed.

Cangshu said in surprise: "My sister-in-law's family has also come back, hasn't my sister-in-law always disdained to participate in the family banquet?" ”

"I don't know, my little sister suddenly called me yesterday and said that she was coming back for the Mid-Autumn Festival, she should be homesick." Uncle said.

"Humph!" Father Cang snorted lightly: "Will she be homesick?" I guess I came back this time to show off, married to a big city, and disdained to associate with rural people like us, has she been back for a trip over the years? ”

"Second brother, don't say that, it's good that the third sister can go home, how good the family is harmonious, these words can't be said nonsense tomorrow." Uncle admonished.

Father Cang nodded and said, "I know in my heart, I will definitely treat her well when she comes back tomorrow." ”

Father Cang's heart is still soft, after all, he is his sister who has been spoiled since childhood, and he complained because his sister has not come back to see them once like she has disappeared in the past few years.

Cangzhu listened from the sidelines, and he only had a vague impression of this sister-in-law, because the number of meetings was too small.

There are three brothers and sisters in my father's generation, Uncle Cang Wanlin, Father Cang Qingyun, and Aunt Cangyun.

Grandma died early, I heard that she died when she didn't have atractylodes, and grandpa pulled the three children to grow up and left, so I can only blame the poor living conditions at that time, and people generally had a short life.

After losing his parents, the uncle and Cang's father treated their sister wholeheartedly, and the two worked together to make money to send their sister to college.

This is also the first person in this small mountain village to enter the university, at that time, the whole village went out to send a lot, eggs, brown sugar, and old hens.

Who knows, Cangyun completely cut off contact with the village after leaving, and she didn't want to go back to her hometown after seeing the excitement and vastness of the world.

Later, he also got married and had children in a big city, and at the wedding, the father and uncle went to the banquet on behalf of the woman.

However, it was not a very good memory, the man's family was rich and from the city, so he looked down on the uncle and father, and the banquet was very far behind.

In the past 20 years of family banquets, Cang Yun came to participate twice at the beginning, and then said that she was busy with work and had no time, and finally she didn't even bother to say the reason.

There are also clear-eyed people in my hometown, and they all know that Cangyun, the family banquet after the child has changed, has never called her again.

"Uncle, how do you get tomorrow's banquet? Or eat it at home? Cangshu said.

"At home, my yard is quite big and can accommodate so many people, but tomorrow I have to trouble your parents to help us cook, and your aunt and I can't be busy." Uncle said.

"No problem, Xiaocang and her mother and I came over early to help." Father Cang agreed.

Cangzhu thought for a while and said, "Dad, auntie, do you know how to deal with sea cucumbers and abalones?" ”

The three elders were stunned for a moment, and they couldn't understand why Cangshu suddenly said this.

"Haha, Xiaocang, your aunt and I have never seen this sea cucumber and abalone in our lives, let alone cooking, why are you asking this?" Uncle said self-deprecatingly.

This is troublesome, this truckload of seafood can't be wasted, even if you pull it back to the city, you can't eat it.

"That's right, when I came back, I brought some seafood and wanted you to make it at the family banquet." Atractylodes said.

"Seafood? The car coming back with us was loaded with seafood? Aren't you fooling around, it's already spoiled in the car on such a hot day! Why are you so wasteful, you kid! Father Cang said with a regretful face, the day of August 15 is still very hot.

Cangshu hurriedly said: "No, no, no, one of the trucks is fresh, and it is full of seafood, sea cucumbers, abalone, and some other ......."

"What else?"

The uncle and the father asked curiously, they had never seen the sea in their lives, so they would be very curious about the creatures in the sea.

"There are also some Alaskan king crabs, blue lobsters, tiger crabs, Australian lobsters, Belon oysters, and geoducks, I think we should go to the hotel tomorrow to eat, these things are better handled by professional chefs." Atractylodes suggested.

“……”

The uncle and father had already opened their eyes, and they didn't hear a word of what Canghou said clearly.

Boy, they've never even heard of the names of these creatures, king crab...... It must be very powerful, it is the king of crabs, and this blue lobster, aren't the lobsters all red, how can there be blue?

They didn't understand it, but they knew it wasn't cheap just by hearing the strange name.

Crayfish is 32 yuan a pound in the county, how can this blue lobster be ...... 64 yuan a pound.

Shocked to shocked, they really have no ability to deal with these ingredients, so they have no choice but to agree to Cangshu's suggestion to go to the county tomorrow to find a hotel for a professional chef to deal with.

After the discussion, Cangshu and his father went home.

Cangshu estimates that the best chef in the county will not handle these top seafood, so he has to find a chef who specializes in seafood from elsewhere.

It's better to leave this matter to Zhen Qiang, and it shouldn't be difficult to find a cook with a big alliance background.

There is another reason why Cangzhu proposed to go to the hotel for dinner, the sister-in-law finally went home once, how can it be a little grander, and it is better to hold a family banquet in the hotel than in a brick house.

I just don't know if my sister-in-law will accept this love.
