Why are the two foreign guests still in town?

Father Xiao watched them enter a guest house in the town, and frowned: If something goes wrong, there must be a demon.

When I returned to the village, I went directly to the village committee to find the village head.

Hongcun didn't know about paclitaxel yet, and he didn't care too much about the foreign guests going and returning: "They come when they like." ”

Dad Xiao was worried: "Are they still fighting our idea of yew on Xianyun Mountain?" ”

Hong Cun raised his eyebrows: "If you like our yew, you have to sign a contract with the city." ”

Xiao Dad guessed: "It is estimated that Secretary Zhang did not negotiate with the Japanese." So they're coming to us again. Hongcun, we have to be careful, we can't let outsiders take advantage of the loopholes and destroy the precious resources on our side. ”

Hong Cun listened carefully. The loss of this kid in the mountains is that he has too little reading, but he has knowledge. Before Secretary Zhang left that day, he also specially reminded himself that he should pay attention to protecting these yews, which may be of great use in the future.

"Okay. I know. Recently, I arranged for a few forest guards to guard the mountain pass. ”

Father Xiao hesitated for a moment and asked, "Gu Jinhua, how are they now?" Didn't see them go back to the village? ”

Hongcun's old face sank: "It's not that it's too embarrassing to kowtow to your family, and I have to pay your family a thousand yuan, so I don't dare to come back." Hong Cun lit a cigarette, "You wait, sooner or later they will have to come and beg you to raise your noble hand." ”

Daddy Xiao smiled: "Just apologize and lose money." Kowtowing to apologize was something that made Mei young and angry, and talked nonsense in anger. If they really let dozens of people, large and small, kowtow, we can't stand it. ”

Hong Cun nodded: "Okay." I know. You go back in peace. ”

Daddy Xiao came home with a large basket of meat.

Guixiang was dumbfounded, and she was so distressed that she wanted to shed tears: "I asked you to buy some meat-wrapped wontons, but I didn't let you buy so much!" ”

"You look at a lot, but you can't eat a few meals." Daddy Xiao took out the large intestine, "Wash it and send it to my mother." She has an old halo, please help us clean it up. Let's eat the rest of the meat slowly. ”

"It's, it's—" Guixiang stomped her foot, "and you spend a little money." ”

"Lao Tzu's daughter's money is justified." Daddy Xiao was angry with Ling Mei.

Guixiang endured and endured: "This money is indeed earned by Ling Mei, but since it is returned to the father, it is our family." Don't be so extravagant in the future. ”

After speaking, without waiting for her husband to answer, she took the meat back to the kitchen and hid it.

Daddy Xiao shouted: "Put ten eggs on the pork belly and braise it together." ”

Guixiang stomped her feet and said angrily: "I just gave all the eggs to Dr. Zhu yesterday." Where do eggs come from today? ”

Dad Xiao immediately said: "Cut a piece of oil, divide two catties of ribs, and I'll send it to my father's mother." ”

Guixiang really wants to cry: the best ribs are two catties less!

Father Xiao also took five or six large tomatoes from the kitchen, which Ling Mei picked back later, and brought them to his brother's house together.

Wang Xiulian's eyes straightened: What's wrong with the eldest brother's family? Did you make a fortune?

Xiao Yuanliang and his wife were very happy. This eldest son is born, and those who have delicious food will never forget them, filial piety!

Father Xiao smiled and said, "Mother." There are five large intestines here, borrow the old halo in your hand to help me marinade. ”

Xu Lanfang saw that the large intestine was fat and fresh enough, and said with a smile: "Okay." If it's done, I'll have to charge interest. ”

Daddy Xiao grinned: "You can take whatever you want." explained, "The money to buy meat was obtained by Ling Mei in exchange for finding wild Poria cocos in the mountains." ”

Xu Lanfang looked at her wife in surprise: "Poria? The kid was lucky. ”

"Isn't it? Ling Mei's luck is not to say. "Daddy Xiao is extremely proud of being a daughter." These tomatoes were also picked by her in the mountains. It's sweet. If you like it, when Ling Mei is free on the weekend, she will pick some more and bring them to you. ”

Xu Lanfang nodded. It's all good stuff, she can tell.

Daddy Xiao rubbed his hands and said embarrassedly, "Mother." The eggs at home are just gone. Can you lend me ten? ”

Xu Lanfang glared at him: "What did you say about borrowing or not borrowing?" Take it. ”

She personally touched a dozen eggs for him: "You guys have made a good start to this year. This year will be smooth and prosperous, and the financial resources will be abundant. ”

Father Xiao came home with eggs, and Guixiang's face was better.

Father Xiao taught her: "Ling Mei said, the eggs are boiled, peel the shell, cut a few knives, and then put them in the meat and burn them together." Tasty. ”

"Got it."

"Tiger eggs are fine. Do you know how to burn tiger eggs? Fry the eggs in oil until the skin is wrinkled. ”

Guixiang rolled her eyes: "I haven't burned it." Keep your daughter and honor you herself. ”

Daddy Xiao laughed.

Thinking about today's dinner, he's going to drool.

When the children got home from school, it immediately caused a sensation.

They haven't seen so much meat in the New Year!

The casserole was served on the table, full of large pieces of braised pork with sharp points, fat and thin, shiny, and trembling. Fragrant. The gravy-stained eggs are shiny all over the body, which is more attractive than meat.

Guixiang didn't wait for the children to move the chopsticks and said, "One person, one piece of meat, one egg." I ate too much at night. ”

Ling Hui grabbed the biggest piece of meat, and in one bite, from the skin to the fat to the lean meat, fat but not greasy, moderate salty and sweet. Delicious!

Ling Yun prefers to eat eggs, thinking that these eggs absorb the taste of meat and are more delicious than meat.

Ling Mei is also very satisfied, Luo Guixiang's handicraft powder is good, and the idea of developing her cooking skills is even firmer.

Ling Hui ate two bowls of rice, didn't listen to his mother's words, not only ate an extra piece of meat, but also used gravy to bibimbap. Guixiang glared at him and didn't say anything. Ling Yun and Yue Shan got the letter, the two exchanged glances, and stretched out their chopsticks to the small casserole again.

Guixiang was annoyed and made a statement first, but only Ling Mei was the most obedient. In a fit of anger, he stuffed a piece of meat into his daughter's bowl, and said like a gasp: "Eat." Why do they men eat more, so we can eat sparingly? Eat it up! ”

Ling Mei glanced at her, a little crying and laughing.

This meal, I really finished all the braised pork in a casserole.

In fact, there is not much after the two catties of pork belly are cooked, but fortunately, there are eggs to make up for it, and the family is satisfied with eating, and they are all aftertaste the aroma of meat on the bed.

After the meal, Ling Mei washed the dishes in the kitchen. Father Xiao looked around at no one before he said to her: "I went to the town today and met those two foreign guests. ”

Ling Mei was stunned and looked up: "They didn't leave?" ”

"Staying in a normal guest house at home." Daddy Xiao frowned, "Tell me, are they still fighting the idea of yew trees on our mountain?" ”

Ling Mei patiently wiped the washed dishes and chopsticks with a clean cotton cloth: "Secretary Zhang didn't talk about it?" ”

"That's what I thought too."

Ling Mei remembered the catastrophe of the yew in her previous life, and clenched the cotton cloth tightly, her face seemed to be smiling, but there was no smile. "I have to talk about this with the villagers. Let everyone know the preciousness of yew, and you can't let a little money be deceived. ”

Father Xiao frowned: "Secretary Zhang doesn't have any definite news yet." We have no basis for what we say. In case the two Japanese buy yew at a high price of four yuan or five yuan a catty, all the yew trees on our mountain will be kept in the bark of the carapace. ”

Isn't?!

It's not so much that Daddy Xiao understands the villagers, but that he understands human nature too well.

"It's not just us. Yew also grows in other places. Once a foreigner bids for the purchase, the yew trees in the whole country will suffer. Ling Mei frowned, "So this matter must be known to the people of the whole country." ”

Daddy Xiao was anxious: "Secretary Zhang said that he was going to verify it, why is there no news yet?" ”

Ling Mei comforted him: "We can't do anything about this in a hurry." Dad, you will find the village chief tomorrow and tell the village chief the details. Let him inquire again if there is any progress on Secretary Zhang's side. ”

Daddy Xiao nodded: "I understand." ”
