Chapter 31 Relocation of the Banquet
"Xiao Xia, do you think you need to prepare anything else?" Sister-in-law He saw Xia Yanru coming in, and hurriedly pointed to the things she had prepared and asked.
"Thank you for your hard work, sister-in-law He, I'll take a look first." Xia Yanru said politely, Sister-in-law He is hearty, and she does not have the childish spirit of ordinary rural women, and it is estimated that it is also related to the fact that her man is the village head.
"Okay, I'll go and soak the whole dried vegetables again, I see a lot of people coming today." Sister-in-law He nodded, wondering what else she could do.
Xia Yanru calculated the number of people who came to lunch in her heart, looked at the meat dishes prepared by Sister-in-law He, and thought that these must not be enough, so she turned around and took out a large piece of wild boar meat from the cupboard.
The kitchen was busy, Ying Fengshan and Yao Songqiu, as members of the village, accompanied Cheng Tianwei and Yang Zhongwei to talk, and several other village cadres sat on the other side to talk, and the old couple of the Ying family and Fang Niang's parents sat in the yard watching the children who were playing together chatting and drinking tea.
"Xiao Xia's house is very distinctive, much more practical than ours, and it looks good." Yao Songqiu said with emotion, this house has been built from scratch, but he has been watching it, and seeing the final appearance of the house when it is completed, he can't help but feel a little envious.
"I heard Xiao Xia say that this is built according to the pattern of the yard over there in the south of the Yangtze River." Ying Fengshan said that at that time, Xia Yanru insisted on building a house like this, and he didn't agree with it at first, but now looking at the layout of the house, I have to say that it is very good.
"Xiao Xia is an insightful person." Yao Songqiu exclaimed.
"I'm afraid it's a little better over there in Jiangnan this year." Yang Zhongwei suddenly sighed that Jiangnan is one of the largest grain producing areas in the country, and although it was also affected by the disaster, it should be much better than them here.
"There are difficulties, I heard that the disaster in the Jiangnan region is not light, but fortunately, we have Xiaoxia now, which is much stronger than waiting for death before." Yao Songqiu is also paying attention to the disaster situation across the country on weekdays, and knows that what is not really good now is nothing more than the severity of the disaster.
"No, it's really lucky to meet Xiao Xia!" Yang Zhongwei couldn't help but sigh with emotion, the last time those grains could be regarded as solving the urgent need, there were already many workers in the factory who had been cut off at home, and this batch of grain was not timely.
"Xiao Xia has a good heart." Cheng Tianwei doesn't talk much, but he can always say it at the key point.
A few other people a day, isn't their heart just good-hearted, if others can be so kind to produce food at a low price, not to mention that Xiao Xia is still capable, so much food can be obtained when he says it.
Zhang Qiang, who was listening to the conversation of these people in the same hall, secretly pouted a little, Xia Yanru was noncommittal about whether she was good or bad, but this girl's skills, it was definitely not something that ordinary people would dare to provoke, and it was estimated that if she dared to provoke her, the end would not be very good.
Zhang Qiang and Xia Yanru are not very close, but he also discovered Xia Yanru's personality traits, he is definitely an unambiguous ruthless person in trouble, and he has never had any scruples about starting with it, just Cheng Tianwei's eldest brother who lost his conscience, he was ruthlessly cleaned up by Xia Yanru in private, otherwise how could Cheng Tianwei's father and son live so peacefully.
The dishes for lunch are mostly meat dishes, and most of the meat dishes are stewed and boiled, although it is time-consuming but trouble-free, Xia Yanru has neat hands and feet, and there is the help of Sister-in-law He, who is good at housework, and the two quickly made a table.
Xia Yanru pretended to take out a few bottles of liquor from the room, which was the most indispensable thing for the banquet, and as the two tables were set, everyone helped to serve the food, and when the dishes were all served, the banquet officially began.
"Thank you for coming to help burn the bottom of the pot today, I don't know much about our local customs, everything will be done according to the old habits of my hometown, I won't say much about it, I hope the big guy eats and drinks well." Xia Yanru is not good at words in the end, and she really didn't say anything else after saying this.
Fortunately, everyone understands her character, but no one cares, not to mention that this table full of meat dishes is enough to show Xia Yanru's sincerity.
"Hahaha, we are blessed by Xiao Xia, we have to eat and drink with an open stomach today." Daddy Ying was the most senior among the people, and immediately took over the errand of greeting people, and drank with everyone with a wine glass.
For a while, the glass was changed on the wine table, and Daddy Ying led a group of old men to a table, which was so lively to drink while chatting, and Xia Yanru, the host, was accompanying the women and children at a table, although they didn't drink, but the cups were full of juice.
"It's so sweet!" Cheng Songhan took a small sip of the cup, and immediately squinted his eyes happily and said.
"Mmmmmmmm Not to mention Xiao Weiguang, sweet juice instantly became his favorite, the kind he liked more than toffee.
Fang Niang on the side nodded even more firmly, and then drank the juice in the cup in one gulp, and then waited for Xia Yanru to help her fill it up.
The two old ladies looked funny and sad, but the juice in the cup also captured their tongues, sweet and not greasy, and Xia Yanru, who had the ability, could get such a good thing.
Lunch lasted for more than two hours before it ended, and after sending everyone in the village away one by one, only Yang Zhongwei and a few people from the city were left.
Cheng Tianwei's body was not completely well, and he didn't drink less wine at noon, so he was a little dizzy at this time, so Xia Yanru asked Zhang Qiang to help people to the guest room to rest for a while.
"Xiao Xia, what did you think about what I told you last time?" Yang Zhongwei had a good amount of wine, so he was still very sober at this time, and he didn't speak until Xia Yanru was done.
"Uncle Zhong, tell me more about the specific situation of this work." Xia Yanru came to the side and sat down, she had been in the city several times before, and Yang Zhongwei had mentioned that she wanted to invite her to work in a pharmaceutical factory, but she never agreed.
Xia Yanru knows very little about Hongqi Pharmaceutical Factory, although Yang Zhongwei is an upright person, and Wei Xiong, the director of the factory, is not the kind of treacherous villain, but the good other party gave her a job in a pharmaceutical factory, she doesn't think it's because of the role of food before.
"Okay, I'll tell you more about it." Yang Zhongwei suddenly felt that hope was coming, and actually proposed to invite Xia Yanru to work in a pharmaceutical factory, which was also after he thought twice.
Originally, he didn't have this plan, although he really wanted to get closer to Xia Yanru, and there would be more opportunities to promote grain transactions in the future, but the work of the pharmaceutical factory was very important after all.
But he only met Xia Yanru at Cheng Tianwei's house, and he knew from Cheng Tianwei that his condition could only be improved thanks to Xia Yanru's treatment, so he moved to ask Xia Yanru to work in the pharmaceutical factory.
Speaking of the job that Yang Zhongwei wants to arrange for Xia Yanru, it is not the kind of clerical job that plays with a pen, let alone other types of work that have nothing to do with pharmaceuticals, but the nature of the work this time, but he and Wei Xiong decided after careful consideration, that is, the assistant job in the R&D room of the pharmaceutical factory.
Yang Zhongwei is not sure what kind of ability Xia Yanru has in medicine, but he can cure Cheng Tianwei's illness, and he thinks that he has a certain medical skill as a foundation.
