Chapter Seventy-One: Dinner on the Farm
Ask for a referral ticket.................. )
The nightlife of the Tang Dynasty was also rich, with bright lights and drunken gold. But all of this has nothing to do with the love farm in Zhenlong Town, except tonight......
Li Qin came back with Jiang Yun and Brother Wang in the evening, followed by a tower-like man - Li Siye. Xiao Xiao looked at the majestic figure that was almost half a meter taller than Li Qin from a distance, covered his mouth and exclaimed, "Shouldn't Yao Ming also come?" ”
provoked Qing'er to look at each other: "Who is Yao Ming??!!! ”
When I got closer and saw clearly, I realized that this big man and Yao Ming were not the same kind of people at all, but they also looked a little familiar, but they couldn't remember anything, so they shook their heads and stopped thinking about it. With a slightly disappointed sigh, he asked Qing'er and Yan'er to greet Li Siye, and then pulled Li Qin to a corner, and asked in a low voice:
"Didn't I tell you to hire at least two nursing homes? Do you invite one back, thinking they're machines? Don't need to rest? ”
Li Qin was embarrassed: "Sister, what is a machine?" ”
Xiao Xiao choked and almost choked on his own saliva. Too lazy to explain so much to him: "I asked why you only invited one nursing home back?" ”
Li Qin's face was strange, and he looked at the back of Li Siye, who had already followed the manoeuvre:
"Sister, this one is only up to ten, not to mention that you don't need to be paid, just eat enough. Why do you want so much? The one surnamed Wu, borrowed ten guts from him, and he didn't dare to move a finger of our sister and brother? ”
Xiaoxiao was speechless for a while, this bastard boy, people don't dare to move you openly. What else can you do behind your backs and send some strongmen to do evil? There's no such thing as fingerprint retinal identification these days!
Shaking his head, he ignored him and went back to the farm. Li Qin saw that the old lady was angry inexplicably, scratched her head, and followed behind. Jiang Yun and Jiang Feng saw that everyone had entered the farm, and the two of them worked together to slowly close the heavy gate of the farm, and then closed the door again, and then followed in.
In the evening, Xiaoxiao asked Qing'er to go to the town to buy a lot of dishes. She had a plan in her heart, since she had to rely on the people on the farm to deal with the potential crisis, she had to mingle with the people on the farm. Therefore, she set up a banquet at the farm tonight to have a good time with everyone.
The newly renovated workers' dormitory is a small reference to the method of the company's canteen in later generations, and the kitchen and dining room are separated. In addition, it is considered that in the future, the farm will be developed into a farm that integrates leisure and vacation. Therefore, she designed a simple two-bedroom apartment for herself and Zhixuan in the new workers' dormitory.
At this time, the two-bedroom room is brightly lit. Qing'er, Aunt Jiang and Sister-in-law were busy in the kitchen, and the sound of 'Duo Duo Duo' chopping vegetables was continuous. Jiang Yun Jiang Feng, Uncle Jiang Wang, as well as Li Qin and Li Siye, who only joined Aixiao Farm today, and other men, drank tea and chatted in the dining room...... Xiaoxiao ran at both ends of the kitchen and dining room, greeting these men for a while, and going to the kitchen to help Aunt Jiang and the others for a while.
When the chickens are in the pen and the dogs are in the pen, a sumptuous dinner is ready and placed on a small specially customized round table. When everyone sat down, they were very entangled.
Why? Because the upper and lower levels of this era were very strict, all the tables were square tables, which are commonly known as the Eight Immortal Tables. It is to be divided into upper seats, lower seats, and accompanying seats. The most distinguished or highest-ranking person sits at the table, and the important guests generally sit on the left and right sides, and the next seat is the seat of the poor worm who accompanies the wine.
Li Qin was really looking for a big head, raised his head and tore his throat and shouted towards the kitchen: "Sister, where is this table?" ”。 Saying that, when he saw that the meal was about to start, he habitually ran to the table to sit down, but found that he felt a little bit like a dog biting a turtle - how should the upper and lower seats be divided into this big round table?
Xiaoxiao came in with the last big pot of soup, and glared at him angrily: "Why do you have to divide the table?" ”。 Then he smiled at the others: "Come, everyone can sit casually!" ”
Everyone is a little restrained, after all, their identities are different. Jiang Yun and Jiang Feng are better, they are still Jiang Zhixuan's uncle and brother. But Uncle Jiang and Brother Wang are really a little unable to let go, although this hostess is usually very kind to others. But after all, she is Mrs. Xie Yuan, the master of this small farm. To eat at the same table...... They really can't let go! So the four of them all looked cramped, and the four pairs of calloused hands kept twisting, and they didn't dare to sit down.
Seeing this, Xiao Xiao put down the soup pot in his hand. walked over and brought Aunt Jiang over and pressed her on the stool, so that she would not move, and then pulled Sister-in-law Wang over to a separate position from Aunt Jiang. When they were both seated, they spoke to everyone:
"Everyone doesn't have to be so restrained, now we love small farms, these people inside and out, why bother to divide relatives and respect each other? Uncle Jiang, Brother Wang, come, everyone sit down! ”
Brother Wang and Uncle Jiang were still standing, but Li Siye, who finally joined Aixiao Farm, moved. I saw him walk to the table with a big grin, pull the stool and sit down, and muttered crookedly:
"Uncle Jiang, Brother Wang, sit down, even Madame said so, what do you two old men care about?"
Hearing him say this, Jiang Yun and Jiang Feng sat down with him, Uncle Jiang and Brother Wang glanced at each other, as if they had made a great determination, and finally walked to their wives and sat down.
Seeing this, Xiaoxiao finally smiled: "That's right, Brother Qin, Yan'er, Qing'er, you also come and sit down!" ”。 Li Qin sat down honestly and unceremoniously, and Qi'er and Qing'er each held a pot of wine and poured wine for everyone at the table one by one. When it was Li Siye's turn, the big man lowered his eyebrows and said to the mane, "Girl, can you give it to me...... Change to a large cup, or use a bowl to make a ...... Otherwise, I won't be happy! ”
The beard patted her chest: My mother, drink wine with a bowl, isn't this big man a wine barrel? He looked at the young lady with inquiring eyes, and when he saw that the young lady smiled and nodded, he really changed a big bowl for him. When the wine glasses in front of everyone were full, the two girls came to Xiaoxiao's side and sat down next to her.
Seeing everyone sitting down, Xiaoxiao raised her glass. Seeing this, everyone hurriedly raised the cup in front of them and waited for the master's lecture.
In my previous life, as a businessman, I had dinner with employees and said words of encouragement and gratitude, and I did a lot of such things. So I wasn't nervous, I brewed a little emotion, my eyes swept over everyone's faces one by one, and then I said with emotion:
"Uncles, I love that the small farm can be as prosperous as it is today, thanks to your hard work and dedication, which I am grateful for with little care. Today, one is to celebrate the biggest difficulties of the farm, and the other is to welcome Brother Li to join our big family of love small farms! So bring everyone together and get together, there is no humility today, only a family! Come, please raise your glasses! ”
A few simple words, but Uncle Jiang and the others were excited: I really met a good master! How many hosts would condescend to eat at the same table with their mud legs, and say these heart-warming words? At least Uncle Jiang has been a hired laborer all his life, and he has never met it.
After a glass of wine dried up, Li Siye opened his mouth humbly: "Madam, don't you really know me?" ”
Xiaoxiao was stunned by his question, racked her brains to recall, but still couldn't remember, so she had to smile apologetically: "Xiaoxiao also thinks that Brother Li is familiar, but I can't remember where I have seen it!" ”
"Hey!" , Li Siye slapped his thigh: "At the gate of the county government that day, it was I who escorted Xie Yuangong in and out, and welcomed his wife into the county office!" ”
"Oh......" Xiaoxiao thought about it at this time, no wonder this big man looked familiar: when he understood Yuan in the log Xuan, he was blocked by the wall at the entrance of the county government and couldn't enter. It was he who acted as a pioneer, escorting Jiang Zhixuan to take him in, and experiencing that unforgettable moment together, how could he forget it so quickly. Thinking of this, he personally poured a bowl of wine for him, filled his own glass, and raised it to say a few words of apology. But I heard the big man surnamed Li speak, and then said:
"Also, please call my name by my name in the future, I don't dare to be Mrs.'s eldest brother, haha......"
Xiaoxiao read his surname and first name together in his mind: "Li Siye...... Li Siye???!!! ”
