Chapter Fifty-Eight: Longing
Li Mubai and his entourage came to Ah Wu's house, which was an ordinary house with a yard, almost the same as other people's houses, and there was nothing special about it.
Ah Wu led the way in front: "Bai Daxia, please!"
Li Mubai waved his hand: "Don't be so polite, just feel free!"
"Okay, feel free to order it, save everyone from being restrained, and the meal is not fragrant. Ah Wu was not hypocritical, and walked into the house first, "Yingchun, the guests are here, you go to make some good dishes!"
"Hey, I know, I'll go!" A woman walked over, but in her twenties, dressed plainly, with her hair in a bun, her skin was a little dark, her facial features were upright but not exquisite, she could only be said to be attractive, and the whole person could only be said to look very ordinary, but she had a gentle temperament, which made people feel that this woman must be very quiet.
Ah Wu introduced: "This is the white hero of our village! Bai Daxia, this is my daughter-in-law to welcome the spring!"
Although Yingchun heard that he was a little cramped, he still greeted warmly: "Bai Daxia, welcome to the cold house, the hospitality is not good, please bear with me!"
"Where, I'm the one who disturbed me!" Li Mubai politely said.
"Let's go sit down first!" Ah Wu led Li Mubai into the house.
"Sister-in-law, I'm here to eat!"
Li Mubai was really surprised by Dashan's cheekiness, and he shouted so loudly when he came to eat.
Yingchun didn't mind, and smiled slightly: "Since you're here, let's go and sit inside!"
Dashan immediately agreed: "Sister-in-law, don't worry! I will definitely greet Bai Daxia well!"
Yingchun nodded with a smile and took the initiative to greet: "Huzi, but I haven't seen you here for a long time!"
"Sister-in-law!" Huzi shouted a little stiffly, and then explained: "You don't know me yet, I can't wait to practice martial arts all day long, so ...... Forgive me. ”
"All right, I don't blame you, why are you so nervous? You all go in! I'll go get the meal ready. Yingchun looked at Huzi nervously with some amusement.
When Huzi heard this, if he was amnestied, he immediately went in, but Dashan did not rush in, and said to Yingchun: "Then it will be troublesome sister-in-law!"
"Don't bother, you will come often in the future, I will do it for you!" Yingchun said very happily.
Dashan didn't know what politeness was, so he directly agreed: "Okay! I will definitely come often, and I won't be polite to my sister-in-law! Then I'll go in first!"
Yingchun nodded, and then walked to the kitchen.
"Bai Daxia, I don't have any good things here, only these bottles of home-brewed rice wine, which taste good, do you want to drink some?"
In order to entertain Li Mubai, Ah Wu deliberately took out the wine he had brewed a few years ago.
"Do you still make wine?" Li Mubai asked curiously, he would only drink rice wine, at most he heard that it was steamed with rice and then fermented, but he didn't know what it was.
Ah Wu smiled embarrassedly and raised the wine bottle in his hand: "This is what I learned from my father, I have brewed it a few times, and this time it is the best, so I deliberately put it in a bottle and keep it." ”
As soon as Dashan entered the house, he saw Ah Wu introducing his wine, and immediately came up, his face was full of salivation, and he looked at the wine in Ah Wu's hand with a blank eye, his Adam's apple floated up and down, and he swallowed his saliva fiercely.
"The wine brewed by Awu is very famous in the whole village, and sometimes people will exchange things for some, I have been hungry for a long time, but no matter what I say, I won't give it to drink, this time it's really a blessing!"
Ah Wu patted the hand of Dashan and touched the wine bottle, very helpless, and said angrily: "When did you come to rub the rice and I didn't give you a drink?"
Dashan stared at Ah Wu very resentfully: "You gave too little, only two cups, and you haven't tasted it yet!
Ah Wu's face turned red, coughed lightly, and said, "Isn't this a big drink, so I don't dare to let you drink more, for fear that you will make a mistake?"
Dashan stared at Ah Wu with big eyes, until he couldn't stand it anymore and took the initiative to move away, and then said, "You really care about me so much! Are you sure you're not afraid that I'll drink all your wine?"
"How could I be this kind of person?" said Ah Wu's tone was a little weak, and he lacked confidence.
Li Mubai has been quietly watching where the two are talking, and their interest has also been raised by the two, seeing Ah Wu's predicament, he interjected: "Listen to what you guys say, I'm going to drink two more cups later, see if it's really that delicious!"
Ah Wu was worried that there was no step down, and when he heard Li Mubai's words, Ah Wu immediately replied: "Don't say two glasses, ten cups are fine, Bai Daxia, it's my honor for you to drink, but it's definitely not as good as the famous wine you drank before, which makes you laugh!"
Li Mubai said indifferently: "Famous wine is not necessarily better than your own brew!"
Li Mubai thought of the so-called famous wine on the earth, not to mention the fraudulent, it is real, and it may not taste better than many home-brewed rice wines.
Ah Wu thought that Li Mubai was polite, and he didn't care: "Only those of us who have never seen the world will treat the wine we brew as a treasure, and it will definitely not be comparable to those famous wines!"
Li Mubai didn't say much, after all, he hadn't drunk it yet, and he didn't know what was going on, it was all empty if he said too much, isn't there a saying that is: If you haven't tried it, you don't have the right to speak.
After chatting for a while, Yingchun brought a dish up, put the dish on the table, and Yingchun said: "The dish is ready, you wait for a while, I'll bring it all over and eat it." ”
"Sister-in-law, I'll help you!"
Dashan diligently followed Yingchun to the kitchen, and Huzi followed silently when he saw this.
Seeing this, Ah Wu smiled: "We don't have to worry about them, pour the wine first, you taste it first, and see if it fits?"
Ah Wu poured a small cup for Li Mubai and poured a cup himself. Li Mubai picked up the wine glass and took a small sip, the entrance was smooth, and a fragrant fragrance lingered around his mouth and nose, and then the wine rushed into the stomach bag like a line of fire.
Li Mubai couldn't help but praise: "Good wine!"
"Really?" asked Awu.
"Of course, it's no worse than the famous wines I've drunk. ”
Li Mubai thought in his heart: "I haven't drunk much wine in this world, and the century-old Fenjiu should be considered a famous wine, right?"
"I'll just say that the wine you brew is very good, and now Bai Daxia agrees. Dashan was holding the food, looking proud and happy.
"What you said is a fart! You haven't tasted those famous wines!" Although he said that, Ah Wu was still very happy, his son inherited his father's business, and his most powerful ability was to make wine, which can be said to be better than the blue, which will be very exciting to hear Li Mubai say that it can be compared with famous wine.
Yingchun looked at her husband's excited appearance, and was also very happy, and smiled gently: "Okay, eat more food, it's not good to drink on an empty stomach!"
"We are all martial arts practitioners, you don't have to worry, but the food is really delicious, everyone try it!" Ah Wu was proud, immediately took over the conversation, and then met Yingchun's gentle eyes, his heart trembled, remembering the sad days, and immediately changed his words.
In this world, because of martial arts, women can also become masters, so the status of women has increased greatly, although there is still some male superiority and inferiority, but it is much better than ancient China. There are not so many evasions, and Yingchun also eats at the same table with them.
"The taste is indeed very good, not inferior to the signature dishes of those big restaurants outside, and the cooking skills are very good!"
Although I heard Dashan say that the craftsmanship of welcoming spring was very good at the beginning, I didn't expect it to be really good, the heat and taste were all very good, so that Li Mubai unconsciously accelerated the speed of picking vegetables.
When Yingchun heard this, he smiled like a flower: "If Bai Daxia likes it, eat more!"
Full of wine and food, Li Mubai didn't want to move a little, and touched his bulging belly with satisfaction, and couldn't help thinking: "Is it because I haven't eaten a good meal for a long time?" ”
Li Mubai made an excuse for his gobbling, of course, the others were no better, they didn't bother to move, except for Yingchun, who was cleaning up the messy table.
"Ah Wu, you are so happy to marry your sister-in-law! You can eat such good food every day!" Dashan was very envious, of course, he didn't mean to pat himself on the back, just look at Yingchun's smiling eyes.
"What a ......" Ah Wu almost blurted out the words in his heart because of the wine, but fortunately he woke up in time, immediately changed his words, and said dryly, "Okay, very good, okay, I want to cry!"
Li Mubai patted him on the shoulder and said meaningfully: "Don't be so happy, the days will be long in the future!"
Ah Wu almost really cried out when he said it, and Li Mubai's words kept echoing in his head: The days will be long in the ......future!
Ah Wu's heart was so dead that he barely managed to squeeze out an expression that he didn't know whether to cry or laugh.
"That's right! I envy the thought that Ah Wu and you can eat such good dishes in the future!" Huzi, who had been eating silently and didn't speak, couldn't help but say.
Ah Wu glanced at Yingchun, who was still cleaning up, and said with a smile: "If you like to eat the food cooked by your sister-in-law, you can come and eat it often." ”
Yingchun suddenly said: "Anyway, you two are not young, you are in your twenties, you can't say a daughter-in-law?
Dashan waved his hand desperately: "I'd better forget it! I don't want to marry a daughter-in-law so early." ”
"That's right, let's talk about it when I'm successful in martial arts!"
Although they are very envious of Ah Wu's life, both of them have their own plans, although they didn't say it, but everyone knows that they look forward to the outside world, maybe when they go outside to wander enough, or are hit by setbacks, they will want to return to the village to live a lifetime, just like the old village chief who makes them respect.
Who wants to live in a small mountain village for the rest of their lives? Even Ah Wu is no exception, but he can't, he still has a daughter-in-law, and he will have children in the near future.
