Chapter 68: Drink mutton soup and go
This is the plot of "The Lazy Man Marries a Wife", the characters in the play Qin Sichun, Kong Yan and Kong Yan's father are played by us, Ling Liping and Hao Xiao respectively. Three days later, the play participated in the commune performance and was warmly welcomed, and even the commune secretary took the lead in applauding, saying that the commune has not produced such a wonderful and down-to-earth short play for a long time, and it is not deliberately touted because of my identity.
In the end, the play and the "Tea Picking Girl" performed by my village and the "Joy of Harvest" dance led by Ling Furong of Lingjiahezi, won the first prize in the three programs, and was selected to be sent to the county show, and the dance "Iron Maiden Can Hold Up Half the Sky" in my village won the second prize, unfortunately lost, but nothing, the participants of this dance are all from the dance "Tea Picking Girl", the original team.
On the night of the end of the performance, the secretary of the commune specially left me, Ling Furong, Hao Xiao and Uncle Zhao to go to Ha (drink) mutton soup, the secretary is only ten years older than me, is the youngest commune secretary in the county, my father picked it up, and also accounted for the light of the superiors who asked to pay attention to the promotion of college student cadres, and caught up, hey, not to say much, it takes seven points to be an official, or he is afraid that he is still a small secretary in the county party committee office. He has a very strong relationship with me, like a buddy, and has been friends for many years. The secretary has a good amount of alcohol, three or two catties of liquor to drink and play, when he was single, he often went to my house to drink wine, and his father fought for wine, equal, his father did not refuse to come to him, but after a long time, his father did not do it, he could, but not empty-handed, he had to bring wine, the wine that his father drank was not blown by the wind, and it was bought with real money, and he would definitely not be able to afford his big wine vat for a long time.
The mutton restaurant is next to the commune party committee, the distance is not more than 100 meters, you can smell the smell of mutton in the office, the commune cadres like to go, it is the best mutton restaurant in the commune, originally the mutton of our commune is famous in the county, it can be seen how good this mutton restaurant is, I joked with the secretary that this mutton restaurant is specially opened for the commune cadres, corrupt enough. The secretary laughed.
It is said that it is Ha mutton soup, but it is actually eating whole sheep, but at the end of the meal, the mutton soup is eaten with flatbread (kang cake).
It's been a long time since I've drunk the mutton soup from my hometown, and I really don't know when I'll be able to drink it today, and I'm really hungry now. When I used to go back to my hometown, my grandfather took me to the commune to catch the market when I often drank it, and my grandfather loved to drink it, sometimes under the guise of catching the market, I went to drink mutton soup, or my grandmother would not give him money, and when I saw him come back empty-handed, my grandmother was not happy, and my grandfather could only lie and say that the things were sold out or the things were not good, and I would talk about it next time, so that I had more opportunities to drink mutton soup. I really can't "cheat" my grandmother's money, and my grandfather even licked his old face and rubbed my oil to drink mutton soup.
As soon as we left the gate of the commune party committee, we saw the owner of the mutton restaurant standing at the door and waving to us.
"Secretary! Hehe. The boss shouted as he danced and shouted. He is not very old, about forty years old, and his ancestors have been running mutton restaurants for several generations, which can be described as a time-honored brand.
"Are you all ready?" The secretary asked with a smile.
"One block, one block! Secretary, sit down and serve. Hehe. The boss nodded and replied.
The secretary turned to us and said, "Hey, let's go in, taste the mutton here, eat the mutton here, you don't need to eat it anywhere else in the county, hehe." ”
"Hehe, more secretary encouragement! I will redouble my efforts to make the mutton better and better, and live up to the ardent expectations and ardent care of the leaders. The boss laughed behind his back. Looking at Tubula, he is quite good at talking.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw many people standing up to greet or greet the secretary, and there were dozens of people who were black, and Secretary Yang, who accompanied me, told me that most of them were cadres of the commune party committee and revolutionary committee, and there were also cadres or workers of departments directly under the commune.
The secretary waved his hand and walked, as if he were inspecting the chief, and he was quite stylish.
The boss hurriedly stepped forward and ushered us into a private room in the backyard to sit down. The private room is two rooms in size, and the decoration is no less than that of the county guest house, and it is said that it is mainly used to entertain the distinguished guests brought by the commune leaders, and the utilization rate is quite high.
A round table with a turntable that can seat twenty people with a diameter of nearly three meters is covered with a white tablecloth, which is rare in the countryside, and the six of us sit around, showing that the people are small and the table is large, and it feels too wasteful.
The secretary deliberately asked Ling Furong to sit in the position of the guest of honor on his right, Ling Furong was embarrassed to sit, let me sit, I was also embarrassed, let Uncle Zhao sit, Uncle Zhao hurriedly waved his hand and refused, I asked Hao Xiao to sit, he also refused, and for a while, no one sat in the guest of honor position. In the end, the secretary grabbed Ling Furong's arm with both hands, pushed her to the seat of honor, and sat down on the chair, making Ling Furong laugh. The secretary let go of Ling Furong and then pressed me to the seat of the deputy guest of honor on his left, and said, he didn't care about anything else, just sit casually. Secretary Yang sat opposite the secretary and sat in the position of deputy escort, and Hao Xiao and Uncle Zhao sat on his left and right.
As soon as everyone sat down, they began to serve, and four beautiful waiters took turns with plates, and served 24 mutton dishes such as cold mixed lamb face, braised lamb elbow, fried lamb chops, fried lamb offal, and fried lamb with green onions.
Except for the secretary and Secretary Yang, in the face of such a super sumptuous whole sheep banquet, the four of us were dumbfounded, having experienced such a scene.
The secretary and Secretary Yang sat on their backs in their chairs, their hands pinching their cigarettes, their eyes as if they had been smoked, and they stared at us with a contemptuous and smug attitude.
After the dishes were served, the four beautiful waiters began to pour wine, the wine was Changyu red wine, I stared at the wine in the waiter's hand with wide eyes, this wine is very rare in the countryside, it seems that no one recognizes this wine, and no one drinks it.
The secretary glanced at me, seemed to feel my state of mind at the moment, and then looked at Ling Furong and said, There is a lady here today, let's drink some wine, one is to take care of the lady, and the other is to be foreign, hehe.
With that, the secretary picked up half a glass of wine and got up and brought the first wine.
