210 lively dinner
Zhang Tao's house is now lively, and there is an endless stream of people who come to smell the smell of snake meat, filling the house. Two tables were set up at home and two tables in the barnhouse, and these four tables were already opened. Sitting were basically the main relatives of Zhang Tao's elderly family and some prestigious elders in the village. There were many more people standing than sitting, most of them were relatives and friends of Zhang Tao's parents or villagers from his family. These villagers eat horse mats, bring rice bowls from home, and try some snake meat from the table, just to have a lively time.
Zhang Tao's family is busy at these tables. Renlong and Chunhua are happy to bloom in their hearts, and they usually always eat other people's food, so it is rare to have such an opportunity to return the gift. They kept greeting enthusiastically, "Everyone eats, don't be polite, I'll fry it if it's not enough!" This is a nice thing to say, but Chunhua is beating the drum in her heart, what to fry again? This person has come so much, and it is constantly increasing, that is, another hundred catties of snake meat is not enough to eat!
Everyone looked very rude, staring at the bowl of snake meat, rabbit meat, yellow eel meat, loach meat, and frog meat on the table, their eyes were shining, the corners of their mouths were overflowing with saliva, and their throats were moving from time to time, and they seemed to be able to hear each other's throats grunting when they sat next to each other, but they ate very elegantly, one by one, they just used the tips of chopsticks to pick up the dishes in the bowl, and after putting them in their mouths, they had to chew for a long time before swallowing, and then they sighed at the deliciousness of the dish, and then they talked nonsense from all over the world to the north before they sandwiched the second dish.
Everyone is like a mirror in their hearts, but today is here to try something new, not to fill their stomachs. If you try something new, you have to quickly give up your seat for someone else to sit. Be a man! Then you have to be a little bit of an eye, and it is already a very face-saving thing for you to be a guest here. It was a four-table dish for dozens of people to eat for a long time, and there were still a lot of dishes in the bowl.
Of course, there are also unreasonable guests here, that is, the children, who take advantage of the adults' lack of attention, burrow to the table, grab a handful of dishes and run away, causing everyone to laugh. Naturally, his parents had to give the child a lesson and reprimand.
There was a table placed on the Heping according to the meaning of Mengzi, which was specially reserved for Zhang Tao and his classmates and friends. Mengzi and they sat at the table early, because Zhang Tao had not yet arrived, and they could only look at the table full of dishes. The villagers who came and went, who knew or didn't know each other, greeted them warmly and praised their heroic feats in the afternoon, which made them feel sad for a while.
Seeing such a lively scene in Zhang Tao's house, Mengzi and they were really emotional. They finally truly realized that the big difference between the city and the countryside is not the wide streets, the splendid high-rise buildings, and the prosperous life, but the people's hearts. People in the city often don't get along with each other, and some of them are indifferent in their hearts, while these villagers in the countryside have no barriers between their hearts, and they have a strong affection and love flowing with each other.
If you are in the city, if someone accidentally gets such a little bit of game, then they will not close the door to their own family, at most a few major relatives and friends will have a full meal. It was like this place, and it seemed like the whole village was going to eat it all. In particular, the humble, polite, and elegant way in which these people eat each other makes them feel particularly shocked and ashamed. In contrast, they felt that rudeness was the most appropriate place for them, the so-called city people. This is actually the main reason why they have been able to endure their gluttony and have not moved chopsticks so far, and they have been patient with Zhang Tao.
"Mengzi, you can show your faces today, and you have all become the heavenly soldiers and generals in my village!" Zhang Tao, who came over, said to the fierce son.
"That's not Brother Tao, you have a good leadership!" Mengzi was praised by this, and his heart was happy, and he also praised Zhang Tao by the way.
"This time I did a good job, I was brave and strategic." Zhang Tao praised again.
"Then ......," the fat man, the foodie, said hesitantly as he picked up his chopsticks.
"Come on! Eat! Don't keep drooling over this dish. After a pause, Zhang Tao said: "This beer is not enough today, and there are only these two beers left in the two shops in the village." If you want to drink it, you can only drink the bulk liquor for one yuan. However, you hurry up and eat now, and the rest of the group will definitely come to you for a drink. ”
The wine could not be drunk, and the food could not be eaten, so everyone ate with their heads bored, and soon everyone had a few bowls of rice.
Zhang Tao looked at the bowl full of dishes without moving much on the table in surprise, he felt a sense of relief, it seems that this time in the countryside, his classmates have also gained a lot, and they all know that they are polite.
Soon, the guests at the four tables inside basically dispersed, and Chunhua and her two daughters were cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks.
Huzi carried a plastic bucket containing twenty catties of liquor, and walked with a group of young people talking and laughing. As soon as he stepped on the Heping, he shouted with a big grin, "Mengzi, you can help the people in my bay get out of the bird gas today, and we can get drunk tonight!" ”
"Okay! Listen to you, then get drunk! Mengzi also said arrogantly.
The addition of Huzi and them made the dull dinner lively, the wine field was ignited, and the two gangs began to fight against each other.
Zhang Tao became an outsider, and no one looked for him to drink. He was also happy to relax and watch the tiger fight from the other mountain.
As more and more people came, the dining table had been changed from one to four, which was still too small, and many people were still standing or sitting on one side.
These people who came were all Zhang Tao's intimate brothers, Chunhua didn't need her son to greet her, so she added a few more dishes.
"Brother, Dad told you to come over!" Meng Fang stood at the door of the house and shouted.
"Okay, come right now!" Zhang Tao responded, turned his head and clapped his hands on Mengzi's shoulder, and said with encouragement and reminder: "Mengzi, a few of you have to fight for breath, don't be ugly in my embarrassment." There are a lot of them, so you need to be flexible and strategic, and prevent them from being wheeled. ”
"Brother Tao, what are you talking about? Are you still not our rushers? Huzi and they immediately shouted indignantly.
Zhang Tao glanced at Huzi, pretending to be angry and said: "Huzi, what are you yelling about, people are guests, of course you can't play wheel warfare to bully others." However, you also have to show the enthusiasm of our Okiri people, and treat my brothers from the city well. Let them drink well and have fun! Got it? ”
Zhang Tao's words seemed to be taken care of on both sides, but in fact, they added fuel to their wine war. With that, he went into the house.
