Chapter 5 Birthday Party
Pack up and go downstairs
The proprietress looked at Xu Shuai with a smile, "The young man is good, tall and handsome, what's his name?" You're a boyfriend, right? ”
Xu Shuai turned a blind eye to the warning eyes on the side: "Hello godmother, my name is Xu Shuai"
"Xu Shuai? Well, people are as handsome as their names, and your Han name has a meaning."
Su was speechless, didn't her godmother always only study mahjong? When did you read the words of the text? Is there a meaning to the handsome person as his name? Maybe his son was born ugly, and he was afraid that his son would follow in his footsteps, so he took a handsome word to ask for a lottery
"I usually hear that my godmother is a big beauty, if she is really famous, it is better to meet, if you don't say that she is her godmother, I must be clumsy and recognize you as a godsister"
Xu Shuai's words made Yila laugh, which woman doesn't have vanity and doesn't like to listen to praise?
"This mouth is sweet, no wonder I can chase it down, I didn't return all night the day before yesterday, it seems that I was with you, so I was blind and worried for a night"
Su said the three words "sycophant" with his mouth, and pinched his waist, Xu Shuai talked with Yila very happily like no one else, in exchange for the treatment of the nine yin and white bone claws
"Let's go, go to the village with my godmother for dinner, I've been waiting for you for a long time", Yila took the hands of the two of them and got into the car
After entering the village, the traditional Dai buildings are arranged in an orderly manner, with black eaves and moss-covered low walls, all of which reveal the breath of time
There are several Dai towers covered with royal blue glazed tiles, the walls are painted pale green, and the vermilion iron fence downstairs surrounds the courtyard, which looks very magnificent
"It seems that this family should be the richest man in the village"
Su nodded and sighed, "I heard that the godmother said that there is a new policy in the state, and the traditional old Dai building is not allowed to be demolished, even if it becomes such a reinforced concrete building one day, the Dai people will also lose the traditional style of the Dai family."
There are more than a dozen bamboo-woven Dai garden tables in the courtyard, which are very short and only 60 centimeters in height, divided into two layers, the upper floor is small to put vegetables, the lower layer is larger to put dishes, chopsticks and wine, the two layers are separated by a height of 10 centimeters, with a square stool made of bamboo
"It's an interesting table, isn't it? Like a bboss."
Xu Shuai was in a daze, and when he heard Su say this, he felt that it was too appropriate to use the word "convex" to describe this table
Yila introduced Xu Shuai to the people in the house, and looking at the woman who was busy serving the food, Su had a bad premonition, today is an unusual day
took out his mobile phone to check the calendar, it's my godmother's birthday, no wonder there are so many guests at home
Xu Shuai slowly moved to Su Li's side and whispered, "I see that those people are carrying drinks in their hands, is it appropriate for us to be empty-handed?" In fact, he wanted to ask why the guests wanted to mention drinks like Wang Laoji, peanut milk or snow beer
"Dai people celebrate their birthdays or something, just carry a box of drinks, no need to send money, and they will only hang gifts when they get married and go to a new house"
Xu Shuai sincerely thinks that this custom is good, how many people have a headache for the matter of money? I can't afford to give more, and I won't hurt my face, but soon he has a bad premonition: "Today won't be your godmother's birthday, right?" ”
Su nodded like a chicken pecking rice, and Xu Shuai slapped her on the back of the head: "Didn't you say it earlier, how embarrassing are we like this?" ”
Completely become a person who eats and drinks? This is the first time he has done this kind of thing, so many people on the scene can not be embarrassed
"I forgot", Su looked aggrieved
Ira is waving and shouting, "It's over, come and eat"
The Dai building is a two-story structure, the upper floor lives people, and the downstairs has a space more than one person high supported by wooden piles, which is used to stack sundries, and can also set up wine and eat when there are many people
Xu Shuai held a disposable plastic bowl, chopsticks, and wine glass, and felt incredible
Su explained in a low voice: "There are many people, so the Dai people use disposable dishes and chopsticks for treats."
Most of the dishes on the table were packed in bowls, and some were wrapped in banana leaves, so Su handed him a bag of glutinous rice, "If there is no rice, I will eat it"
Xu Shuai learned from her to pinch the glutinous rice into strips, and then opened the plastic bag and took a bite, the glutinous rice was fragrant and sweet and glutinous, the cucumber in front of the chopsticks was nearby, and the cold cucumber of the Dai nationality was also rare enough, except for the cucumber, I didn't put any seasoning?
"You haven't eaten Dai cuisine?"
"I've eaten, but it's not the same in a restaurant"
"Follow me to eat", Su took the cucumber, put it in a small bowl in the middle of the table and dipped it, Xu Shuai then understood the so-called cold salad's own dipping sauce
I ate a few other dishes like Su, "This seaweed is so strange"
"Stupid, that's moss", Su felt that the Chinese food culture was really broad and profound, and if I didn't tell you what it was, I wouldn't know what it was, even biologists were blind to ingredients
Xu Shuai sandwiched another piece, thin and dark green like seaweed, with sesame seeds sticking to it, and it was crispy when he bit it: "Moss? The kind of green that grows in the water? ”
"Well, the water in the primeval forest is clear and clean, just scoop up the moss, spread it on the bamboo strips, sprinkle sesame seeds to dry, and cut it into pieces and fry it in the pan when you eat."
Xu Shuai's eyes were shining with starlight, and he looked at Su's expression, as if he had to open the door to Ali Baba to get a treasure
Su Liao continued to introduce him to the dishes on the table, Dai barbecue, roasted banana flowers, and pork roast...... In the eyes of others, this scene is understood as a young couple in love
When the wine was drunk, the people at the table began to sing, and Xu Shuai couldn't understand the Dai language that he sang just now, and then the people at the other table sang in Chinese
"Raise this glass, a fine wine
You come, I come, everyone comes together
Raise this glass, toast this one
I wish you all health, happiness and good luck."
The people around clapped and applauded
Xu Shuai also applauded: "The Dai people are really good at singing and dancing, and this translation into Chinese is also very good."
Su coughed and corrected: "This is the toast song of the Ailing clan"
"And they sing too?"
"A few of them love the Ling clan."
Xu Shuai had an expression of "I am", and Su spread his hands and said believe it or not, there are many ethnic minorities in the southwest, there are 56 ethnic groups in the country, and there are 52 in the southwest, and the complexity of regional customs can be imagined
Yan Bing walked over, patted Xu Shuai on the shoulder and said, "Brother, go over and drink with us"
Xu Shuai knew him, and when she first came, Yila introduced her son
Su winked at him, the Dai man drank very much, don't go
Xu Shuai smiled, who was drunk and who didn't know
Su "......", biting the glutinous rice one bite at a time to get angry
Mayday is already sweltering, and there are many people, not to mention that the air conditioner doesn't even have an electric fan, and most of the men take off their clothes and are shirtless
"This wine is boring, let's wrestle our wrists, and drink if we lose", as soon as Yan Bing spoke, the men at the table all agreed
Some people who like to watch the excitement immediately moved a small wooden table and put it aside
Yan Bing wiped his sweat, "I'll come first, which of you will come"
A tall, thin, dark-skinned young man stood up, resting his elbows on the table, and the other hand and body were not allowed to touch the table
In the end, Yan Bing won, and the person who lost was very bold enough to pick up half a glass of white wine and take a sip of it, and there was a burst of coaxing around him, and after winning two games in a row, Yan Bing was defeated due to lack of strength
The one who won shouted, "Yan Bing, hurry up and drink"
Yan Bing drank the wine and instigated Xu Shuai: "Brother, do you want to try it?" If you lose, it's just a matter of half a glass of wine", worried that the people from Beicheng would have a good face and were afraid of losing, he said it very tactfully
"Well, then let's try it", Xu Shuai hooked his lips and smiled, the so-called local customs, he unbuttoned and took off his shirt to learn from them shirtless
The people around him gasped, his shoulders were wide and his waist was thin, and his eight-pack abdominal muscles were arranged in an orderly manner and bulged like a rock climbing stone, this man was not a simple master just by looking at his figure, and the person who won just now was a little frightened, and the people who didn't think much of it were advocating to hurry up and hurry up
Originally, it would have been possible to decide whether to win or lose in ten seconds, but Xu Shuai dragged on for a minute to give the man enough face
After all the defeats in the next challenge, Yan Bing's voice attracted Su frequently, but he only saw a circle of people with thick waists, and Xu Shuaiying didn't see it
In the end, no one dared to step forward to find Xu Shuai to put on his clothes again, Yan Bing was completely reduced to a fan brother and gave him mineral water, "My brother, you are too good to put them all down by yourself."
Xu Shuai laughed, "Little meaning"
"Brother, it's hard to keep your figure, right? I see a bruise around your waist."
Xu Shuai raised his chin towards Su, "That evil woman pinched it, and the long Si Sven Wen is ruthless enough."
Yan Bing was surprised, seeing that Su's skin was as white as snow, and the long swan neck was even more beautiful and moving when he looked at it from the side, and couldn't help but sigh: "If I had such a girlfriend, I would be willing to be twisted into a twist by her."
Xu Shuai choked lightly, and scolded with his fist: "It's useless"
"You saw my sister, she has a high education, a good figure, and a beautiful person like a fairy, I begged my mother to help me say that the matchmaker asked my sister to marry me", speaking of this stubble Yan Bing poured wine and sighed lightly: "My mother disagrees, saying that marrying me is a bastard, and being a mother will not harm her daughter"
Xu Shuai listened to it funny, this mother's family is really in tune with the son's family
"You say you call mom, how can you be so partial to your son and daughter?"
Xu Shuai looked at Yila who was drinking and fighting with others, and felt that she had a good heart, and she was not selfish because of her son to destroy other people's daughters
"How long have you known each other?" Xu Shuai asked casually
"It's been more than ten years, I remember when I was still in elementary school, my sister came with her aunt and cousin, Meng Man, and then she came with her cousin, and then she was alone."
Xu Shuai's pupils contracted, what made a woman persist for more than ten years? The story seems to be wonderful, and he happens to be a storyteller
"More than a decade ago? At that time, she was still a child, why did she come to Mengman? ”
The drunken Yan Bing asked rhetorically, "You are her boyfriend, don't you know?" ”
Xu Shuai is embarrassed, fortunately, he is good at dealing with embarrassing things: "I chased her from Beicheng to Banna, and I was bitten by a cobra to save her, and I almost confessed to Meng Mancai that she relented and agreed to be my girlfriend, hey!" Highly educated beauties are hard to chase, as a man, can you understand? ”
Yan Bing has a good impression of Xu Shuai, remembering that the bruises on his waist are still infinitely sympathetic to the snake bite, if it is really a rich man marries Xi Shi, and a rich man marries Dong Shi, only the fool Wu Dalang married Pan Jinlian and lost his life, and the beauty is still full of eyes
"I can tell you about this, my sister came to find her parents, but I haven't found it for more than ten years", Yan Bing sold her sister when she had a brother
Looking for parents? Xu Shuai looked at Su and the smile raged in his eyes, if there is hope, there will be weakness, and if there is weakness, there will be death, very good
