Chapter 231: It's All Hard Dishes
Tang Xiaosu thought about it again, and then continued: "Mother, four dishes and one soup, it should be almost okay, but every meal must be prepared in sufficient quantities, and a few pots of steamed buns will be steamed, and the people who have to work will be full." ”
After Tang Xiaosu finished speaking, he found that a layer of cold sweat had formed on Liu's forehead, so he asked with concern: "Mother, what's wrong with you?" Is there something uncomfortable? ”
Liu shook his head, raised his hand and wiped the thin sweat on his head with his sleeve: "Xiao Su, these dishes of yours are all hard dishes." ”
Tang Xiaosu smiled, affectionately held Liu's arm and said: "Everyone has come to help us work, it is appropriate to make a few hard dishes, only if the dishes are good, people will work for us, and we will work harder." ”
Liu thought about it, and this was the same reason, so he didn't say more, turned around and went to the kitchen to work with those people.
And Tang Xiaosu went to the mountain with He Wuyi to see the progress of those people.
If, as they expected, everything is going according to plan, weeding and clearing the wasteland, it is only necessary to wait until tomorrow morning to reach the place where the wild grapes are located, and then they can find some more people to pick the wild grapes.
Tang Xiaosu looked at the villagers who were working so hotly, and he was deeply infected, so he couldn't help but roll up his sleeves and go down.
And Wuyi also silently squatted beside Tang Xiaosu to help Tang Xiaosu get rid of those harmful weeds.
When everyone was in full swing, Liu and Xu came over with a large wooden barrel filled with a wooden bucket full of water.
"The big guys stop and take a breath and drink their saliva." Liu and Xu put down the barrel and greeted the sweaty crowd.
The villagers were not ambiguous, and came to Liu and Xu's side one by one in an orderly manner, took the water scooped out by Liu and Xu, and drank it in a big gulp.
After drinking the water, no one rested, but continued to work that he had not finished.
After all, they only came to the mountains to pull weeds and remove wasteland, and they didn't work in vain, they had ten copper plates a day, and they also managed to eat one meal.
Regardless of their food, and their wages, such a good job, even if they work in the town, they don't have such a good treatment, so they are almost desperate to do it.
Liu dissuaded a few people uneasily, and after seeing that the dissuasion was ineffective, he stopped dissuading, and together with Xu, the two carried the barrel down the mountain.
Tang Xiaosu went down the mountain some time in advance and prepared the two dishes she specified, sour and hot shredded potatoes, and pork intestines.
Some people who went to work, when they saw that it was dark, packed up their work at hand, and came to Tang's house one after another with an uncertain mood.
At this moment, tables and tables of dinner had already been set up at the door of Tang's house.
The tables were borrowed from various neighbors, including the benches.
Otherwise, just relying on their Tang family, it would be impossible to invite people from a village to eat, and prepare their own tables, chairs and benches.
In addition, some of the older children and children in the village also went up the mountain to help.
Some of the younger ones followed Rokuro to pick up the potatoes that had been dug up.
The older ones, on the other hand, followed the adults and put together the grass that had been pulled out.
So there are a lot of people, and almost every family has moved out their tables, chairs and benches.
This time, almost all the people in the village came to Tang's house for dinner, so all the people sitting at the door of Tang's house were people, and it was even more lively than ordinary people holding wedding banquets.
The big guys are sitting at the table with anticipation.
And the women who came back from work took the initiative to go to the kitchen to help and help bring out some meals.
When they entered the kitchen and saw all the meat, their eyes widened in disbelief: "Xiao Su Niang, you are too rich, almost every dish has meat, this is too hard." ”
Liu smiled and said to the visitor: "You came to work for us, of course, we want to give you a better meal, and the pheasants and hares that Wuyi just hunted are there, so I made some meat dishes for you, and you don't dislike it if your craftsmanship is not good." ”
So the ladies complimented each other, and when Wan Chunhua saw that the time was about the same, she said: "Okay, okay, almost, that's it, the men are still waiting outside to prepare for dinner, if you continue to talk like this, they will be so hungry that their chests and backs will be glued." ”
When the lady heard this, she brought the meat dishes to the table one by one.
Tang Xiaosu thought that as soon as this meal was served, it would be robbed by people, but to her surprise, when those ladies went back to the kitchen to serve other meals.
Most of the men also went to the kitchen with them to help serve the food.
And the few men who stayed behind did not eat directly, but waited for those who had not yet arrived.
It wasn't until all the people were seated that they heard a greeting: "Okay, everyone, let's have dinner." ”
One by one, the big guys picked up their chopsticks like hungry wolves and headed towards the meat dishes on the table.
A mouthful of dishes, a mouthful of steamed buns, all of them are not happy.
After everyone had eaten, like the previous two times, one by one did not leave, but began to pack up contentedly.
While packing up their things, those people said to the people around them: "The people of the Tang family are real, their family recruits, and we come to work, this is our own duty.
Now the Tang family doesn't give us money, but also cares about our food, you see this meal, every family in our family, the food we eat during the New Year is nothing more than that,
Some of the New Year's meals are not as good as this, and it would be good to have one of the meat dishes, but the dishes that the Tang family served us had a lot of meat in it.
The few dishes and soups on this table are almost all meat dishes, and the vegetarian dish, called sour and hot shredded potatoes, is also fried to make me enjoy eating. ”
Immediately, another person immediately said: "That's it, who says it's not, if you want to say that the Tang family doesn't pay wages, I am willing to come to their house to work in the future, so I have to come to this meal." ”
It immediately caused a lot of laughter.
Hearing Li Zheng here, he scolded with a smile: "A few of you want to be beautiful, let you eat like this every day, the Tang family is not a landlord, a rich man, if you eat like this every day, sooner or later you will be eaten by you, so don't think so much." ”
Li Zheng's words were like a basin of cold water, which immediately extinguished the enthusiasm of those people to talk about.
Originally, he had never participated in any activities in the village, but at this moment he also raised his head and stopped his movements, and asked Li Zheng: "Li Zheng, you mean, we don't have such a good meal tomorrow?" ”
With a faint dissatisfaction in the rhetoric, Li Zheng glanced at the trick and asked, "If it were you, would you give people this kind of food every day?" ”
Choked on the trick, and said honestly: "That's not going to happen, if I have so many meat dishes, I won't hide them all by myself, and then eat them slowly." ”
The tricks and selfish words did not attract the accusations of others, but caused a burst of laughter.
Because most people have the same idea as tricks, but the trick is a little ruffian, so he never cares what he says, let alone whether he will offend people if he says it, almost just say whatever he thinks.
Tang Xiaosu happened to pass by here, and he heard the conversation of several people, so he took the initiative to speak: "Uncles and uncles, don't embarrass Grandpa Lizheng, Grandpa Lizheng doesn't know what dishes we will prepare tomorrow, but what I can promise you and uncles is that there must be a hard dish every day, and I will ensure that you are well fed." ”
After everyone heard Tang Xiaosu's exact answer, they were all a little disappointed, but after the loss, they also knew that their requirements were too high.
So the men didn't say anything, but the atmosphere of work was not as high as before.
Tang Xiaosu saw the reactions of these people in his eyes, and couldn't help sighing in his heart, he was really the most simple villager, what thoughts and expressions he had, all of them were shown on his face, which made people see it at a glance.
However, Tang Xiaosu smiled brightly, and said to those people: "But tomorrow our family will make a few new vegetarian dishes, which you have never tasted, and the taste of those vegetarian dishes will definitely not be inferior to any meat dishes." ”
Tang Xiaosu's words aroused some people's expectations.
However, there are still many people who are not hopeful, after all, vegetarian dishes, there can be a few vegetarian dishes that are as delicious as meat dishes.
They are all honest croppers, and what they care about most is whether they can eat meat for a meal, these mundane things.
After everything was packed, these people who came to work found their own families and prepared to leave.
San Lang and Shiro stopped them: "Uncles, aunts, aunts, aunts, wait a minute." ”
So everyone stopped again, and even Li Zheng looked at San Lang and Shi Lang with some puzzlement: "San Lang, Shi Lang, everyone is busy here, and it's not early, do you have anything else to do to stop everyone?" If there's nothing to do, let's go back early, and tomorrow we have to get up early and get up early to work! ”
With the foundation of the last time, so in the face of so many people again, San Lang was not so timid, and when he saw Li Zheng asking himself, he opened his mouth to explain to Li Zheng: "Grandpa Li Zheng, there is something to say when you stop everyone." ”
Li Zheng blurted out: "What's the matter?" ”
Before San Lang could speak, Shiro, who had a bit of a loose temperament, spoke: "Today's salary hasn't been paid yet, so don't leave yet, and when the salary is paid, everyone will go back together." ”
