Chapter 200: Banquet

Before dawn, the courtyards of the Li family were already crowded. The two families of King Zhao stayed in Li's house yesterday, and they got up with the sound when they heard the sound.

Cui Mama and Li Zhongyou, one is in charge of the front yard and the other is in charge of the backyard, and people are mobilizing people to prepare for the banquet of the villagers.

"Steward Li, is there enough wine?" Zhao Yunlan looked at the wine jars in the front yard and asked Li Zhongyou.

Li Zhongyou: "Madam, these are not enough. I've already informed Li Bao and asked him to send some more. ”

Zhao Yunlan: "Okay." ”

After a while, Li Bao brought Da Zhuang and Datou over with another cart of wine. I haven't seen him for a few days, Da Zhuang and Da Tou are a lot more stable, and they don't have the jerkiness they had when they first met.

"Boss, where do you put all this wine?" Li Bao stepped forward.

Zhao Yunlan: "Looking for Steward Li, thank you for your hard work, let's all have a drink today." ”

Li Bao: "Thank you, congratulations to the owner." ”

Big head: "Congratulations to the owner, congratulations to Brother Akihito for becoming a master." ”

Zhao Yunlan smiled and asked the three of them to unload the wine.

After a while, Deng Yong came over with a cart of fruit, and Zhao Yunlan stepped forward to take a look, and there were pomegranates and kiwi fruits. It's just that this fruit is not as big as the fruit in later generations, Zhao Yunlan is still very happy, and can't help but pick two up.

Zhao Yunlan pulled open the pomegranate, leaked out the red and clear fruit, and tasted it: "Hiss, sour~"

Deng Yong: "Owner, this pomegranate was only brought back last year and planted, and this year is the first time it bears fruit, and the taste is a little sour." This is not to think that today is a great joy for the Akihito brothers, and to add a little joy to everyone. ”

Zhao Yunlan smiled: "You have a heart." ”

Then I picked up the kiwi next to me and pinched it to be soft. Zhao Yunlan peeled off the skin and ate it, she was ready to sour saliva, but it turned out to be unexpectedly delicious.

"Well, it tastes good." Zhao Yunlan said.

Deng Yong said: "Yes, this pears taste good, but they are easy to spoil when picked." ”

Zhao Yunlan nodded, when I was teaching in the mountains before, there were a lot of kiwi trees in the mountains, and the villagers generally picked the kiwifruit in advance and put it at home, so that it was easy to transport it out and sell it, and it was still hard to pick it at this time.

The kiwifruit that Deng Yong brought here must have been picked when it was soft on the tree.

"You can try to pick the pears earlier, and then put them in the shade to see if they will be soft." Zhao Yunlan suggested.

Deng Yong was thoughtful, his eyes lit up a little: "Okay, then I'll give it a try." ”

Steward Li put the wine in and came out to arrange to carry the fruit.

Zhao Yunlan: "You should pay attention to that basket of pears to avoid breaking them." ”

Li Zhongyou: "Then I'll let them take it out and put it in the fruit bowl first." ”

Zhao Yunlan nodded and motioned for Steward Li to arrange it himself. After a while, He Wen, He Wu, and Zheng Tian came to divide the pears, and Chunxiang took two maids to bring the fruit bowl in.

The sun is good today, and the sun has shone into the courtyard at this time, and the people in the village have come to the door one after another. The village chief's family came first, except for Li Yuqing, who was not there, the boss of the county who was a fast catcher also came back with his family, and the eldest daughter who married outside also brought her husband Xiao Jinzhong.

This is the first time Zhao Yunlan has met everyone in the village chief's family.

"Uncle village chief, sit in the house quickly." Zhao Yunlan beckoned and called a small servant to take the group in.

"Okay, good, congratulations. Akihito, I'll just say I'm right about you. The village chief said as he walked.

The brothers of Li Dashan who followed behind also said words of congratulations, and Li Dashan's daughter-in-law Gao gave a gift, and Zhao Yunlan smiled and politely accepted it.

Li Dashan pulled the seven-year-old child next to him and said, "Look at you Uncle Mingren, you have to work hard and be admitted to Xiucai in the future." ”

Li Mingren patted the child's shoulder: "Side!" Go in and play with Raven. Brother Dashan, Brother Dachuan, Brother Dalin, sit inside. ”

Several people happily took their respective daughters-in-law in. The three brothers each prepared a gift, and the old family Gao gave a set of pen, ink, paper, and inkstone. Qin Yanni, the second family, sent fabric, and the third family, He, prepared a pair of vases.

Zhao Yunlan just accepted Li Yulan's gift here, and she hugged it heavily when she touched it. Li Mingren talked to Xiao Jinzhong, Xiao Jinzhong's family is a wealthy family in Qingshui Town, and his family has a wine shop. From the chat between the two, it can be seen that this Xiao Jinzhong is more tactful.

After this big family entered, Zhao Yunlan and Li Mingren glanced at each other, and at a glance, the two of them immediately threw themselves into the next wave of people. Today, the soap mill on the mountain was suspended, and the female workers of the soap mill came early with their families.

"Congratulations, boss." Everyone was chattering with auspicious words of congratulations.

Zhao Yunlan smiled: "There is no owner today, everyone will eat and have fun when they come." ”

A group of people were happily taken to the house, and Zhao Yunlan and Li Mingren continued to greet the guests at the door.

"That's Village Chief Zhao?" Li Mingren saw a group of people coming in the distance.

Zhao Yunlan looked at it, isn't he the village chief of Zhaojiagou!

"Congratulations, Da Liang's son-in-law. Yunlan, you are so blessed! Village Chief Zhao first said goodbye, and then the aunt and girl behind him handed over a gift like a burden to Zhao Yunlan.

"Ouch~ hehe, it's quite heavy." Zhao Yunlan was a little embarrassed when she caught her hand and sank down, but fortunately, the girl of the Zhao family didn't let go.

Seeing this, Li Zhongyou hurriedly came up and took over the burden.

Village Chief Zhao continued: "Today we came uninvited, but the people in the village have always wanted to express their gratitude, so they took advantage of this happy event to bother us. In addition, this Mingren baby is also our Zhaojiagou's son-in-law, and I, as the village head, should come to congratulate everyone on behalf of everyone, and inside that burden is some leather goods obtained from hunting in the village. ”

Zhao Yunlan thought that it should be the reason for the sweet potato flour before and the reason for collecting some agricultural products in the village, and the villagers of Zhaojiagou are also people who know how to repay kindness.

"Uncle, you said that this is just an outsider, but you won't talk about it, you have to drink a few more glasses today." Li Mingren helped Village Chief Zhao up the steps.

Zhao Yunlan also said: "Yes, uncle, aunt, go in and rest, after driving for so long, you are also thirsty." This is the sixth sister, go in and have a cup of tea. ”

Village Chief Zhao only brought his daughter-in-law and little girl, originally didn't plan to bring this sixth child, this girl had to come to join in the fun, saying that he had never seen the old man, and Village Chief Zhao was used to this little one on weekdays, so he had to respond.

When he got on the road, Village Chief Zhao reacted, I haven't seen the old man who lifts people, I've always seen Li Mingren, I can't change it when I lift people.

Zhao Liumei stuck out her tongue, anyway, she was already halfway there.

Seeing that everyone in the village was almost there, and the front and back yards were full of people, Li Zhongyou put a firecracker outside the house, and the back kitchen began to serve food.

The village chiefs of the two villages arranged to share a table with Old Man Li, and Li Mingren sat down to drink together. As soon as the old men drank, the front yard was noisy, and even when they sat next to them, they had to pull their ears to hear clearly.

The backyard was full of women and children, and the women in the village had no scruples about talking, and the children were even more noisy when they got together, but the children had rules and would not run around.

The whole house is filled with a lively atmosphere.

Originally, Village Chief Li wanted to talk about the school today, but he got drunk and pulled Village Chief Zhao, and the old man Li and the others cried and laughed for a while, and sighed for a while Anzi's good life.
