Female dependents can go to the Sheraton, most of them are also private rooms to eat, she this Sheraton decoration has taken the high-end route, the dishes are taken the boutique route, but the price of the meal is cheaper than the general restaurant, and although the price of the meal is not expensive, but the color and flavor are far better than other restaurants, plus from time to time to launch some new dishes, whether it is the guy who passes the dishes, or the guy who serves in the private room and the lobby, they are all trained one by one to get on the post, the service attitude is good, and the understanding of the dishes is also very thorough, because of the dishes, Most of them are unseen by the guests, so when they are served, they will make a brief introduction to the dishes, and if there is such curiosity, the guys can also blow a few words on the dishes, which is very professional. This is also the reason why Sheraton's business has been booming since its opening.

The reason why Banniang gave Granny Wang's wine such a high price was because at the beginning of the year, Lu Qiqi trusted the relationship and got the right to sell the wine, and the profit of the wine was much higher than when he purchased it from elsewhere last year, so he didn't want to make much more money from the Wang family's rice wine.

The second is that this wine is sold to female dependents to drink, women are naturally exquisite, so the quality of this wine is very important, and she wants to sell it alone, most women like the so-called unique things, only unique, precious. Otherwise, why would she give Granny Wang three times the price of rice wine on the market?

Therefore, Banniang smiled at Granny Wang: "Mother-in-law, since this wine has been sold to me, it cannot be sold for the second one, because of the high price, we must ensure that only one of us can sell this price." If other companies have to sell, the price will inevitably be lower than ours, and then we will have to reduce the price with other companies, and the purchase price will not be guaranteed. ”

Although Granny Wang is a peasant woman in the mountains, she has her own shrewdness, and Banniang's words, she went through it in her mind and understood the stakes.

Isn't? If others want to sell well, they must be cheaper than Sheraton, the price has dropped, when they come to her to buy, naturally her price has to be lowered, and in the end they sell more, and they don't necessarily have to fight for more money than selling Banniang's family, so why should she do that thankless thing?

smiled and said: "Don't worry, this sister can rest assured, although the old woman is a mountain person, she also knows how to treat people with integrity, and since my sister knows this, the old woman will not sell other people's houses again." Besides, which of the others would pay such a high price for his sister? The old woman has always spoken Ding is Ding Mao is Mao, and her sister is Mao. ”

"That's great." Banniang smiled, and then beckoned a few people to help cook.

Sanniang and the others are usually noble ladies, that is, Ah Lan, although she is a maid, but the Zeng family is not really a maid for her, although several people usually do something at home, but to say how much physical work, I really haven't done it. And there is less time to go out, not to mention the mountain road that has been walked for most of the day? I got up early in the morning, and by this time, I was tired as if my whole body had fallen apart.

On the contrary, Banniang has practiced martial arts with Cang'er for more than half a year, playing a few sets of boxing and swords every morning, and her physical fitness is much stronger than that of her sisters, although she is also tired, but she is not like them, her back and legs hurt, and she can't wait to lie down on the bed.

After picking up all the dishes, Granny Wang urged them to go to rest for a while, and when dinner was ready, they would call them, but how could they be embarrassed to leave Granny Wang and Banniang, the old and the young, busy here?

Banniang knew the third sister's body, so she urged her to rest, Sanniang held on for a long time, and saw that she couldn't support it, so she went apologetically. Banniang called Qi Niang and Yun Xian to take care of them again, because they saw that although Liu Niang and Ah Lan were also tired, they were better than the three, so they agreed to stay and help.

But in the end, I couldn't bear to ask them to do anything, so let Liuniang sit and choose vegetables, Ah Lan lit the fire in the stove, and Mrs. Wang gave her a hand on the side.

Breakfast was eaten early, and only some snacks were eaten at noon, Banniang knew that everyone was very hungry, so she only picked up the ingredients that Wang Po brought over and made a few small dishes at the shortest speed, and waited for the sun to completely submerge between the mountains, the sky was dark, and a meal was also cleaned up. Then I asked Gorou to help serve the meal and went to the small courtyard to eat.

Although the preparation time is short, the dishes are made in the simplest way, but they can also be regarded as sumptuous, a steamed rabbit meat, a braised pheasant, a plate of scrambled eggs with leeks, a plate of fried magnolia slices, a plate of raw cucumber slices, rice porridge, and a basket of egg cakes.

When Uncle Wang saw this table of dishes, he smiled and said, "Old woman, this dish doesn't look like you made it today." ”

Granny Wang replied with a smile: "It's been most of my life, how much ability my wife has, don't you know yet?" How can an old woman have the ability to put up such a table of good dishes so quickly? Old man, you can be considered blessed today, you can eat the dishes in the Sheraton Restaurant, didn't you joke in the past, saying that one day our two sons will go to the Sheraton for a meal? This time, you don't need to, you can eat it at home. ”

Wang Lao Birch said: "What kind of statement is this? Could it be that the old woman, you can also use fairy arts, and recruit the Sheraton chef to our house to entertain distinguished guests? ”

Granny Wang laughed, and the Zeng family and the little ladies on the side also laughed. Granny Wang said: "The old woman doesn't know any immortal arts, you don't know yet, old man, right?" That Sheraton, but these brothers and sisters opened it at home, this eighth sister of the Zeng family, has good cooking skills, it's amazing. ”

While talking, he beckoned everyone to sit down, everyone was also very hungry, Uncle Wang looked at this table of dishes, and was also anxious to taste Zeng Banniang's craftsmanship, so he was not polite, so he sat down and ate.

Uncle Wang tasted a chopstick for each dish, and praised Banniang's craftsmanship: "The old man has never eaten such a delicious meal in his life. ”

After eating, I chatted with the old couple of the Wang family for a while, because they were very tired, they boiled some hot water, and after washing up, they all went to sleep.

The mother-in-law Wang couldn't sleep, so she told Uncle Wang what Banniang said before the meal that she wanted to buy home-brewed rice wine, and Uncle Wang was naturally very happy when he heard it: "This is a good thing that I didn't expect, but people are kind, and the price for us is not low." We can't be cheap in vain, when we make wine, we have to be more careful, and we still have a lot of mountain goods at home? You will find out all the good ones tomorrow morning, and go back and let Mr. Zeng and them take them back. It's not worth much, but it's what we want. ”

Wang Po is good.

Early the next morning, when the sky was bright, Granny Wang got up, cooked a pot of porridge, and according to the method that Banniang taught her last night, cut the cucumber into thin slices, kneaded the salt, removed the juice, and poured some sesame oil. According to Banniang's method, I also spread two plates of cakes and egg cakes, and when they were ready, I tasted them, but they were not as soft as Banniang's making, but they were much better than the cakes I usually made, and I was quite satisfied.

After being busy, I went to look for the dry goods that I had collected at home, and I filled two large bags. called Uncle Wang again, and the two carried them to the courtyard and put them against the wall, so that the Zeng family could carry them when they went back. Thinking about such two big bags of things, they couldn't take them, so they simply asked Uncle Wang to go to a neighbor's house not far away, invited the son of that family, and turned around to help send them down the mountain.

Here, Granny Wang washed her hands and face, and planned to wake up the guests, but everyone also smelled the fragrance of breakfast and got up one by one.

Because there is a mountain stream behind the house, it is also convenient, after dressing, they all went to the stream behind the house, rinsed their mouths with bamboo salt, washed their hands and faces, and returned to the courtyard, Granny Wang had already brought breakfast to bed.

After breakfast, they discussed going down the mountain to go home, and Uncle Wang also brought a young mountain man back, and said with a smile: "Mr. Zeng came to the house as a guest, and there is nothing to give, but our mountain people, the top thing is the mountain goods, so I prepared some, so I asked Mr. to bring it home and give it to the old man at home to taste." I'm afraid that it will be inconvenient for you to go down the mountain, so I specially invited the old brother's boy to help you go down the mountain in a while. ”

Zeng Zigu hurriedly refused: "How can this be good?" We bothered the old man and his mother-in-law for two meals, the food was already excellent, the old man was hospitable, when he came back, he refused to accept my overnight expenses, this time we have so many people, but also do not accept it, we are ashamed, how can we even eat and take? ”

Uncle Wang glared, pretended to be angry, and scolded, "What is this that Mr. said? But if you look down on our mountain people, you have to worry about money when you entertain this idea? How much can you eat in two meals? Besides, those two bags of things are also always kept at home, and they are not expensive things, if Mr. does not accept them, he will not look down on us mountain people. ”

Zeng Zigu was also very helpless by what he said, but he really accepted it, and he was very uneasy in his heart, he just wanted to make up some money for the two old people, and it was not easy to take it out at this time.

After all, the price is twice as high as the rice wine on the market, and the Wang family can add a lot of input, compared to these two bags of mountain goods, it is really worthless.

Sanniang persuaded: "Second brother, since it is the intention of the old man and mother-in-law, we will accept it." ”

Zeng Zigu and Zeng Ziye both knew that this third sister was the most kind-hearted and considerate, and seeing that she was also persuaded to accept it, they thought that there must be some reason, only in front of the two old people, it was not easy to ask, so they smiled and said: "The old man and mother-in-law are really polite, the two of them's intentions, we will take them, and if the two old people go to Nanfeng City one day, they should also invite the two of them to go to our house to sit, so that we can have some love." ”

Uncle Wang smiled and said, "That's it." ”

He called the young man beside him, pointed to the two big cloth bags in the corner, and said, "Ah Shan, go and get the rope and tie it up, and I will definitely send my husband and brothers and sisters to the dock and come back." ”

The young man named Ah Shan responded with a smile, looked for a rope and a flat pole, tied up the things, tried it, and felt that it would not be loosened halfway, so he picked it on his shoulder, and said with a smile: "Mr. Zeng, I will carry it down the mountain first, and go back to the intersection of the mountain to wait for the gentlemen and young ladies, or I will carry the things together, and with the gentlemen, the road in the mountain is narrow, and it is not convenient to walk." ”

"Then there's Little Brother Lao." Zeng Ziye thanked him.

The young man took up his burden, opened the firewood door of the courtyard, walked out of the courtyard like a fly, and went straight to the foot of the mountain in the early morning mist of the mountain.

Zeng Ziye led his younger brothers and sisters to thank the old couple of the Wang family, and then said goodbye.

When I got to the bottom of the mountain, I saw that Ah Shan was waiting there, and he was determined that he was from the mountains, and he walked on the mountain road like walking on flat ground, but it was not much faster than them?

Seeing the brothers and sisters of the Zeng family laughing and going down the mountain, Ah Shan hurriedly greeted him and said with a smile: "Sir, do you want to go to the dock after a while, or do you want to go after a while?" ”

Although he rested all night, everyone who had climbed the mountain knew that although he was tired that day, the next day was when his legs and feet were really sore, Zeng Ziye himself felt uncomfortable when his legs were sore, not to mention his sisters? Although a few girls talked and laughed all the way, just looking at the way they walked, they knew that all of them were holding back the soreness.

smiled and said, "It's time to miss the little brother, so let's rest for a while." ”

Naturally, Ahsan will not object. A few people rested for a while on the rocks on the side of the road, and then got up and hurried when they saw that the sun was slowly rising.

From time to time, when he arrived at the dock, Ah Shan helped to send everything to the boat, probably because he was also familiar with the boatman, and asked the boatman to take care of him on the way, so he waved goodbye to the brothers and sisters of the Zeng family.

When the brothers and sisters of the Zeng family arrived at the dock outside Nanfeng City, it was past lunchtime, but fortunately they had eaten a lot in the morning, and they were not hungry, so Wulang pulled Zifu and Zijian Zijing, and the four brothers carried two bags of dry goods off the boat, so they carefully helped the sisters to get down, put the things on the dock, Shilang also found three carriages, and when they arrived at home, Wu didn't expect them to come back so early, and they didn't leave them food, and they went to the kitchen to prepare food.

So after resting at home for another day, Banniang went to the restaurant, and those mountain goods were also put away in different categories, Banniang originally thought that the family could not finish eating, and took some to the store to use, and thought that when Liuniang got married, she could keep it and make a few good dishes, so it was just that.

After a few days of rest, it is time to prepare for Liuniang's marriage. Twenty-eight is the day when Liu Niang got married, and seeing that there are not many days left, they are all tightened.

Because the family Shiqiao's family has been painted, it has been sent over, and now it is placed in the Wei Garden where the old lady lives, and it is all prepared, and the family is very satisfied with it, and this set of furniture is carried to the husband's house, and no one can find a trace of fault.

The family is ready, the men have nothing to worry about, several brothers are busy writing the wedding stickers, and then distribute them, Zeng Ziye and Zeng Zigu are idle, Zeng Budo thought that his son-in-law Lu Qiqi is busy in the grange of their family Nanyuanzhuang these days, and it is not enough to rely on the head of the village on Wednesday, so he sent Zeng Ziye and Zeng Zigu two brothers with him to Nanyuanzhuang to have a look, first, to see how the spring harvest of the field rent is collected on Wednesday, and second, to see how Lu Seventeen, the son-in-law, is doing farming on the grange.

The ladies were busy sorting out the wedding clothes to be used for the marriage of Liuniang, the meeting gifts for the in-laws, as well as the dowry jewelry, cloth brocade, and sorting them out.

The old lady was overjoyed, but Liuniang was startled, when the third sister got married, the family did their best, but they only prepared eight lifts, and Liuniang said: "This is too much, when the third sister got married, the dowry was only eight lifts, how could I go beyond my sister?" Grandmother, you quickly tell my mother to keep the extra money, and in the future, the seventh and eighth sisters will also marry, and the brothers will also marry, and there will be more places for the family to use money. ”

The old lady smiled: "Where is this prepared by your mother, it is all your brother and sister-in-law and your sister Zhang Luo, don't be afraid that your third sister will be careful, I know the child's heart, and I will only be happy for you." Besides, there was no way to do it in the past, but now isn't the family condition better? How can you still be told that you go to your in-law's house? This woman, with a good dowry, when she arrives at her mother-in-law's house, her waist can be straight, so you don't care, just wait for the marriage with peace of mind, and the grandmother knows everything. ”

"But, grandmother ......"

"It's nothing," the old lady rubbed Liuniang's head, this granddaughter has been with her since she was a child, no matter how filial she is, in a few days, she will become someone else's family, where is she willing to do it? However, there is no reason to keep a girl at home, fortunately, her mother-in-law's family is also a good family, so she will not be treated badly, and it is somewhat comforting.

The old lady sighed, "Your grandmother's greatest wish now is only that you can live a good life in the future, when you were in your mother's house, you took care of me all day as an old woman, and you were not asked to live a day of Miss Guige's life. Fortunately, your eighth sister is a capable person, and she has a good family's life, and now she doesn't have to worry about food and clothing, and she has a surplus, and she is generous, and she is willing to spend money on your sisters. Your brothers, as well as your sister-in-law, are also relieved, I won't lose a few of you, my grandmother has a lifetime, and I can see that the family has no worries about food and clothing, their brothers and sisters, you sisters are also considerate of each other, and they all say that the family and everything is prosperous, and I am also blessed. You, also listen to your grandmother's words, the dowry marriage, just throw it away, and ask them to go to Zhang Luo, after all, they are all children who know what they know, and if they can't do it, they won't be able to force themselves, and what can be given to you, you just have to take it with peace of mind. ”

While speaking, she asked Liuniang to take the box at the head of her bed, opened it, took out a piece of wrapped brocade cloth inside and spread it out, took a golden hairpin with red dots and golden cui in her hand, and took it carefully, and then handed it to Liuniang: "This is given to you by grandmother." You take it. ”

"This, this is too precious, and this hairpin has been with my grandmother for decades, and it was given to you by my grandfather back then, how can my granddaughter accept it? Put it away. ”

The old lady patted Liu Niang's hand and said with a kind smile: "Six girls, if you talk about it, grandmother is also selfish, when your third sister got married, grandmother also gave her a head noodle, although there are a lot more things than your hairpin, but in real terms, it can't be compared to this old hairpin, but among these granddaughters, grandmother really loves you." It's also called grandmother's partiality, the seven girls and the eight girls just know, and they won't blame your grandmother. You can rest assured. Besides, I don't have anything else now, just this hairpin, I can still get my hands on it, if you don't accept it, my grandmother will be sad, you are a filial person, is it difficult to watch my grandmother uncomfortable? Take it, it's your filial piety. ”

"Grandmother......" Liuniang fell on the old lady's lap, feeling sad.

This hairpin, whether it is expensive or not, not to say, but it is the old lady's thoughts, so many years, the family is no matter how difficult, grandmother has not touched the mind of this hairpin, not for anything else, this hairpin, but my grandfather personally painted the sample, invited the gold shop to beat, and took advantage of the grandmother's thirtieth birthday, personally inserted on the grandmother's cloud temples. That's what my grandmother has been thinking about my grandfather for decades.
