Thinking of Pan Yangzhuang, Yang Guomin couldn't tell what he felt in his heart, she had a beautiful side and an ugly side. Although there is a saying: the son is not ugly, but there is nothing beautiful about ugliness to make people feel good!

I don't know if Pan Wenli feels this way?

Panyangzhuang is a combination of two small natural villages, Yangzhuang and Panzhuang, and it is said that the two Zhuangzi people of Panzhuang and Yangzhuang were relocated from Shanxi during the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty. Panzhuang Yangzhuang lives next to each other, across the Weizi River, Yangzhuang in the west of the river, and Panzhuang in the east of the river. During the land reform in 1947, the two villages broke down barriers and merged into one, and the name was naturally combined into Panyangzhuang.

Today's Panyangzhuang, a small stone bridge across the Weizi River, connecting the east and west streets of Panyangzhuang, "the moat becomes a thoroughfare", this north-south street has become the main street of Panyangzhuang, and people jokingly call it "enemy street".

In the 70s of the last century, there were several households surnamed Jia and those surnamed moved into Panyangzhuang, and the village brigade approved a homestead in a place just south of Dongjie near the Weizi River, which has now developed into a scale of more than a dozen households, known as "Little Taiwan".

Yang Laocai, the great-grandfather of Yang Guomin, was a large landowner in Yangzhuang, and he built a Yang family compound that is also magnificent from the current point of view during the Republic of China: a large courtyard with three entrances, nineteen main houses, and countless partial houses. Two black lacquered gates opened in the middle of the West Street of Enemy Street, and there were two large stone lions next to the door.

The Yang family's compound was divided into seven small courtyards during the land reform, and now there are seven descendants of the Yang family.

Yang Guomin's second uncle, Yang Lao Kite, is the patriarch of the Yang family, he lives in the first house facing the gate, a pair of stone lions at the door were bought from the Taohua City Stone Carving Factory a few years ago, and the original pair was thrown into the river by the Red Guards.

Yang Guomin and a younger sister of his parents live in the courtyard of the second entrance to the east, which is the neighbor of Yang Laoyuan.

Yang Guomin's great-grandfather generation is two brothers, his own great-grandfather Xingda, his second great-grandfather was a Japanese translator during the Anti-Japanese War, known as Yang Han traitor, after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, he was corrected, and his descendants were also swept out of the house, separated from the family, and his name is no longer on the family tree.

Yang Guomin's father is five brothers in this generation, his father Yang Laoying ranks fourth, the eldest uncle Yang Laodiao died young, no children and no daughters, the second uncle Yang Laoyuan is the current patriarch of the Yang family, and the third uncle Yang Laoyan and the fifth uncle Yang Laoyan are now the backbone of the Yang family.

As he spoke, the car turned off the highway and drove into a dirt road that was not in good condition, and after walking for a while, rows of red brick houses appeared on the side of the road, which were facades such as mills, oil mills, and car repair shops, some with signs and some without signs. Further on, there are more and more houses, new houses and old houses, but there are also patterns: in general, the houses on the side of the road are newer, and the houses away from the roadside are older.

This is a village, named Honeywater Village, which is the location of Honeywater Township in Taohua City. Panyangzhuang belongs to Honey Water Township.

After driving into Honeywater Township, Pan Wenli gradually slowed down. She asked Yang Guomin: "Are you hungry?" ”

Yang Guomin replied: "It's okay." ”

What do you mean, hungry or not?

Pan Wenli stopped asking him, and lit a fire in front of a red house, and Yang Guomin looked at it, and there was a big sign on the red glass door of the house: Red House Hotel.

The two men got out of the car, pushed the door and walked in.

There was a small bar in the front hall of the hotel, and a dark-skinned young daughter-in-law was sitting in the back and writing accounts.

Pan Wenli was also wonderful, and asked in the past: "Are you the boss?" ”

The young daughter-in-law blurted out: "They all say I'm the boss." ”

What the? You are......

Seeing Pan Wenli's surprised eyes, the young daughter-in-law's face turned red all of a sudden, and she explained with difficulty: "I mean...... What I mean: they all call me hostess. ”

Pan Wenli and Yang Guomin both secretly sighed: This is laborious.

"You...... You're here to check the hygiene, right? The little proprietress asked with a blushing face.

I said why are you so panicked? Pan Wenli: "We're here to eat. ”

"Ahh When the little proprietress heard this, she immediately calmed down, her face gradually turned from red to white, and she spoke neatly.

"Do you have a private room?" Pan Wenli asked.

"Yes, yes."

The little proprietress led the two into a private room, and after sitting down, Pan Wenli asked, "Is there a recipe?" ”

"The biggest feature of our restaurant is that there is no menu, and we do what the guests order."

"What if I can't remember to eat?"

"We have special dishes, I'll recite them for you: steamed meatballs, croquettes, fried meatballs, vinegar meatballs, braised meatballs...... Roast rabbits, roast pigeons, roast ducks, roast woody chickens......"

There are really a lot of special dishes, and they are all comparable to the names of the dishes.

Pan Wenli ordered a roast duck, a cold shredded potato, and two fried cakes.

The dishes came up quickly, the duck was fat and tender, and the shredded potatoes looked good. Seeing the shredded potatoes, Pan Wenli remembered a joke. She put a chopstick and shredded potatoes on the plate in front of her, and said to Yang Guomin: "I'll tell you a joke, one of my college classmates came back from abroad and came to play with me, I was an intern at Chengguan Primary School, and at noon I invited her to eat at a small restaurant at the entrance of the school, and my classmate ordered and said: 'Boss, come to a plate of potato salad.'" 'The boss directly circled: what...... Silly? My classmates were even more amused: 'It's cold shredded potatoes.' ’”

Yang Guomin laughed.

Two people, you and I finished eating the plate of "potato salad" with one chopstick, and then one person shared a duck leg and feasted on it.

Pan Wenli said: "Yang Guomin, don't patronize and eat, say while eating, I haven't been back to Pan Yangzhuang for a long time, what news do you have to tell me." ”

Yang Guomin thought for a while and said: "Your non-famous poet Pan Xiaohuan on East Street has compiled a ballad of the four beauties of Pan Yangzhuang, and I will read it to you:

Diao Chan is not greedy

A big mess of,

Zhaojun recruited Jun,

Gui flew into the sky. ”

The four beauties in this ballad, Pan Wenli, all know each other, the first beauty Pan Diao Chan is the daughter of her uncle Pan Changjiang, the second beauty Liu Xishi is her cousin and aunt, Pan Guifei is also a sister of the same race, only Yang Zhaojun has never spoken, although they have met.

It is undeniable that these four people are the most beautiful women in Panyangzhuang.

"I guess the meaning of this ballad," Pan Wenli tilted her head and thought about it, "The first sentence is easy to understand, my sister Diao Chan is not bad or greedy, and she bears a bad reputation." The second sentence is a big mess of, which seems to contain a mocking meaning, doesn't it mean that my aunt is very soft? The third sentence is also easy to understand, it is nothing more than that Yang Zhaojun recruited a door-to-door son-in-law. What is the stalk of the fourth sentence Gui flying into the sky? Could it be that Pan Guifei became an astronaut? ”
