Chapter 0405 - Gambling and Drinking
"Village Chief Mo, what's going on in the village?" Tang Long also wanted to know what was going on in Mo Shang Village, so he didn't hold back and asked the old village chief.
The old village chief suddenly turned around, stared at Tang Long and said, "Keep in mind what I said, otherwise you will go home immediately." ”
The old village chief was serious, because when he said this, he didn't avoid anyone and handed the wad of money to Tang Long.
Tang Long and Xu Yi glanced at each other, smiled awkwardly and apologized, "I'm sorry, I'm curious, don't take it seriously, just do what you say!" ”
Money is omnipotent, but when it comes to Moshang Village, it seems that the rumors are all false, the village deep in the mountains, the economy is naturally backward, and most of the strong labor force has gone out to work, even so, they will refuse to pay more, and avoid Tang Long's question, it is really a very strange thing.
When I arrived at the old village chief's house, there was an old woman in the family, naturally the wife of the old village chief, and a young woman with a child, who should be the daughter-in-law and grandson of the old village chief.
There was no warm greeting, and the old woman and the young woman watched Xu Shu and Tang Long as they looked at aliens as if they were aliens and were led into the house by the old village chief.
"Old man, why are you here again?" The old woman did not greet Xu Yi and Tang Long warmly, but asked the old village chief directly, with an obvious reproachful tone in her words.
"I'm sorry, passing by here, it happened to be late, so I stayed overnight, and I left at dawn, so I disturbed you!" Xu Yi is still quite polite.
Dinner didn't seem to have Xu Yi and Tang Long's share, the family ate and didn't ask Xu Yi and Tang Long to eat together, but threw them into a room and ignored them, not even having a cup of tea.
"That's not hospitality!" Tang Long complained.
Xu Yi shook his head and sighed: "You can be content!" ”
It's always not good to be hungry, and there is food in front of him, and he is too old to eat the bread and biscuits he brings with him, so Xu Yi went to the old village chief and his wife to ask for dinner with a cheeky face.
"Old village chief, can you cook us a meal too?" Xu Yi embarrassedly went to the old village chief's dining table.
Look at the food in the bowl on the table, it is really quite ordinary, basically no meat, the life of the people in the mountains is hard, and the game can be seen everywhere in the mountains, but the young people are not at home, the old people's legs and feet are not good, they can't enter the mountains, they can't hunt, they can only eat on the vegetables.
"I'm sorry, the family has limited conditions, and the meal was already cooked before you came," the old woman also realized that it was rude and said embarrassedly.
Since the heroine answered, there was hope for this meal, so Xu Yi took out the money again, and it was still generous, one out was a thousand, handed it to the hostess and said: "Excuse me, get some food, order food from the neighbors, buy more!" ”
When Xu Yi spoke, he pretended to glance at a few vegetable bowls on the dinner table unintentionally, so that several people understood in their hearts.
"Grandpa, grandpa, can you eat meat?" The little grandson asked at this time, shaking the old village chief's arm.
The old village chief ignored the child, but stood up and nodded to Xu Yi: "Okay, I'll buy some!" ”
After the old village chief stood up, he took the money from the old woman's hand, walked a few steps, and then turned back to the old woman and said, "Let's cook!" ”
Then it was a matter of waiting, and after a while, the old village chief came back, and his hands were full of meat, the real game in the mountains, Xu Yi looked at it and was quite satisfied, and said to the housewife: "The trouble is done!" ”
"That's many, enough for a dozen people?" The old woman asked with a frown.
Xu Yi nodded: "Yes, everyone has another meal, can you have wine?" ”
"This one has!" The old village chief seemed to be a good drinker, and when he heard Xu Yi ask, he immediately nodded and went away.
Although the old woman is old, the kung fu in the kitchen is still neat, and after a while, there is wine and food on the table, Xu Yi and Tang Long sit at the table, and the family is standing by and watching, the little boy is eager to try to go to the table, but is blocked by the young woman.
"Let's come along!" Xu Yi sent out an invitation.
The old village chief looked at the wine and did not refuse, but said, "It's okay to drink together, but don't ask!" ”
"You are the master, all listen to you!" Xu Yi readily agreed, but he was thinking in his heart, drink and eat, see if you can withstand it, and the little boy, the child is innocent, easy to talk, and there is no lie.
A table of large plates and small bowls, the wild game in the mountains is a good dish to drink, Xu Yi, Tang Long and the old village chief drank wine, and the old woman and the young woman and children ate happily, because they had eaten a meal before, so they couldn't eat much for the second dinner, so they turned around and left, maybe they went to rest.
Originally, the little boy was going to be taken away by the young woman, but he didn't want to live or die, so he had to accompany his grandfather, and he wanted to eat a few more bites of meat.
Xu Yi behaved generously, but no one noticed the little Jiujiu in his heart.
Perhaps the old village chief rarely drank openly, so he drank in a hurry, and even only cared about drinking, and did not even eat a few bites of snacks, but the little boy liked meat very much and ate it as a snack.
Xu Yi has been observing the old village chief, he has to wait for the old village chief to be a little drunk, so as to inquire about the secret of what happened here, after a long time, Xu Yi looked at the old village chief, obviously his wine strength began to come up, listen quietly, the two hostesses in the house have quieted down, the village is also quiet, only a few dogs are barking more than once.
"Old village chief, what the hell is going on in the village?" Xu Yi did not evade, and asked bluntly, first, to know the secret, and second, to test whether the old village chief was drunk.
"Don't talk about it, remember the rules!" The old village chief suddenly raised his head and stared at Xu Yi and shouted.
Xu Yi nodded in embarrassment, it can be seen that the old village chief's alcohol consumption is also very good, his face is red, and he can still soberly refuse to answer Xu Yi's question.
Tang Long had long known Xu Yi's original intentions and had been cooperating with him, but now he was a little worried that this meal would not be wasted, and he couldn't find out any news.
And this kind of worry is not only Tang Long, Xu Yi has also been worried, but he is willing to bet on this meal, if the old village chief is really drunk and will fall asleep, then there is no way, but the little boy is still here, there will always be news.
After drinking for a while, there was only the sound of drinking in the room, the sound of eating food, and even the sound of dialogue were omitted, and it was so quiet that it made people feel that this was not a scene of drinking, and it should not be.
"Come on, old village chief, drink another bowl." Xu Yi added wine to the old village chief's bowl.
People in the mountains don't pay so much attention to drinking, they don't use wine glasses, they drink directly with the bowl they eat, and until now, the old village chief's amount of wine is really large, I don't know if Xu Yi will fall down before the old village chief gets drunk, which is also a problem that Xu Yi is worried about.
The old village chief didn't refuse the poured wine, let alone be polite to Xu Yi and Tang Long, he drank the bowl as soon as he picked it up, Xu Yi stared at the old village chief, he didn't greet Xu Yi and the two to drink, so that Xu Yi and Tang Long drank a lot less than the old village chief, and they should be able to resist when the old village chief was drunk.
