Chapter 128: Night Visitors in the Mountain Village
Wang Jing's heart is full of gratitude, he is a big boy, and he doesn't know how to say too many words of gratitude, and his inner language is probably about: Just do it.
When he has a chance in the future, he will definitely honor his mother.
The mother and son walked out of the carpentry workshop, and Liu Wan inadvertently looked up and saw that in the twilight, on the mountain road, there were a few lanterns swaying towards the village.
"Yo, who's going into the village so late?"
Liu Wan muttered strangely.
The country mountain road leading to Taoyuan Village, although I have not heard of any fierce beasts entering and exiting at present, but this place is actually not too far from Badu Township, where there are tigers.
Normally, people in the village will not walk on the mountain road after nightfall, which is not safe.
At this time, the dogs in the village are also barking gradually, it seems that strangers have come, otherwise the dogs in the village would not bark collectively, starting with a dog at the head of the village, and the dogs at the end of the village also began to bark, and the atmosphere around them became extremely uneasy.
Seeing those lanterns getting closer and closer, Liu Wan intuitively felt that it was so late that someone was still coming to the village, and she felt a little uneasy.
Liu Wan saw that the lantern had passed the village, leaned slightly, and walked straight to her side, and beat a small drum in her heart.
Because the lantern was so bright, you could clearly see the lantern swaying in the field.
When the lantern approached, Liu Wan found that those people turned out to be several officials of the county government, and the first one was Wang Lizheng, and those people probably came to Liu Wan after looking for Wang Lizheng to lead the way.
Liu Zhukuai, who took the lead, said that he was the promoter of the "hero" when Wang Xiao "revealed" the list that day.
"Lord Liu, how can you have time to come to the Humble House?"
Liu Wan hurriedly took Wang Xiao forward to salute, although she knew in her heart what was going on when they came to the door, but the etiquette that should be talked about still had to be said.
Liu Zhu snorted unceremoniously and said, "Isn't this Wang Xiao, the hero of the tiger fight?" Not seen for many days. ”
Wang Lizheng stepped forward to snort and said, "Several adults came overnight to discuss the tiger hunt with you. ”
Wang Lizheng's duty is to cooperate with all the work of the government, and it is also his duty to lead the way.
But Wang Lizheng was also afraid that the people in the government would come and drink and scare his own villagers, so he hurried to be a middle-aged person to ease everyone's emotions.
Liu Wan can understand Wang Lizheng, isn't he the role of the aunt of the neighborhood committee in modern society?
The upper part has to be responsible for the government officials, and the lower level has to be responsible for the common people, and they are caught in the middle, which is not very balanced, so she will not blame Wang Li for leading the way.
This is not the same as a traitor leading the way for the Japanese people.
"Lord Liu, everyone, come from afar, let's eat a seafood hot pot, have a drink, and warm up."
Those who were originally fierce and vicious, and went to work at night, were very annoyed, and wanted to vent their fire on this farmer's head.
But at this time, when I heard Liu Wanyi say, I smelled a strange fragrance at the door, and I couldn't help swallowing my saliva.
A farmer in the countryside has such an attractive smell of food?
"Hey, it smells like seafood! What is Hot Pot? ”
Not to mention the countrymen, even the officials are not able to afford to eat seafood often, after all, the mountains here are not close to the sea, and the seafood is transported from outside, which is expensive. Who wants to eat?
Seeing their salivating looks, Liu Wan hurriedly said enthusiastically:
"Chiefs, it's indeed seafood, there are shrimp and fish, come in and warm your body."
As soon as they heard that there was something delicious, these people were in an uproar, mainly because the taste of seafood was too fragrant, hooking out the gluttonous worms in their stomachs.
They walked for a long time on the mountain road, blowing a cool breeze all the way, and their hearts were very unhappy, and then they heard that there was something delicious, and their mood was much better, and they were not so fierce.
After Liu Wan entered the house, everyone hurriedly cleaned up the leftovers on the table, and Liu Wan remade a fishbone hot pot base stock.
Liu Wan asked again if they could eat spicy food.
As a result, there were 5 fast catches, two liked spicy food, and three didn't like spicy food.
Liu Wan also made mandarin duck hot pot, half of which was spicy and half of which was not.
There are still some seafood leftover from the previous meal, shrimp slippery, octopus balls or something, and it stands to reason that these are not enough for these five people to eat.
But these five people can't do it if they don't serve well, fortunately, Liu Wan's food locker still has a large number of seafood, and she takes advantage of the night to "make a crime", and by the sink, Liu Wan takes out the fresh shrimp and scallops to clean.
For a while, the big guy didn't see her movements, and he thought that there was more seafood in the first place.
Liu Wan also asked Wang Xiao to go to her house and take out a yellow croaker in the house and cut the fish fillet for shabu-shabu.
Wang Xiao doesn't remember when his mother bought yellow croaker.
How did he know that Liu Wan was hidden in the food locker, and now Liu Wan has also figured out the experience, that is, the food in the food locker can appear anywhere within 5 meters of her body according to her instructions.
So when Wang Xiao went to the house to get the yellow croaker, Liu Wan had already put the yellow croaker, cuttlefish, squid, etc. in a clean copper basin in the house.
Wang Xiao did not doubt that he had it, he thought that his mother had bought it at the town market.
Indeed, these seafood were all bought by Liu Wan when Wang Xiao went to buy other things, and put them in the food locker.
It's good to buy more, otherwise how to deal with these gluttonous catches now.
Wang Xiao walked out of the house with a copper basin, and Liu Wan asked him to go and clean the yellow croaker fillet fish, octopus, squid whiskers, etc.
Wang Xiao has the skills shared by Liu Wan, and the sashimi is cut thin and neat, and the slices are crystal clear.
Wu Hui was very frightened when she saw so many fierce officials coming here at first, and she guessed what she was here for, so she was too frightened to speak.
Fortunately, the mother-in-law coped with it to a certain extent, Wu Hui didn't expect that these officials were still tiger-faced just now, looking like they were going to eat people, but now when they saw seafood, they began to drink wine with a smile, and they also called Wang Xiao brothers, and she slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
Wang Lizheng naturally sat on the seat, eating and drinking with him.
Liu Wan's wine is the best rice wine bought from the town, in late winter and early spring, the night breeze in the south is cool to the bones, and drinking rice wine is just right to drive away the cold, which is deeply loved by everyone.
So the officials ate one cup after another, and they couldn't stop eating the seafood in the hot pot.
"Yo, Aunt Liu, this is the first time in my life that I have eaten hot pot, and Wangjianglou does not have such a novel way of eating.
But it's really good, on such a cold day, eat a hot pot, the whole body is hot, and I am not afraid of cold dishes. If only there was a hot pot like you in town. ”
Liu Wan also wants to open a gourmet shop in the town, but she currently has less than 10,000 points and can't open the function of a gourmet store.
In this era when there is no patent and intellectual property protection, teaching others the craft is equivalent to cutting off one's own money.
