Chapter 92: On the eve of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the farm unexpectedly arrived
Back in the old house, Li Dong picked up the mobile phone on the table and looked at the time: half past eleven.
"There's still some time. ”
First pack up and bring over the package, in addition to the tiger whip wine will be put in the farm collection room for a while, yellow essence, mushrooms, fungus, wild fruits, pheasants, hares, a few bottles of good wine, stamps, this time I also made up three editions of RMB sets, a total of three sets of fifteen small sets, a set worth two or three thousand yuan.
It's good to make a gift for this thing, Gao Jia's birthday is to give a small set of three versions of RMB as a gift next month, Li Dong first put the three small sets of RMB and stamps in the drawer and locked it.
Mountain goods, yellow essence to tidy up, first put back and then tidy up, Li Dong will bring the gift tomorrow to sort out, two bottles of wine, with a gift box of two boxes of yellow essence, two soft-shelled turtles, go back and clean up a pheasant.
Lion's mane mushrooms and dried wild fruits were packed in two large gift boxes, and 78-year-old pastries and candies were packed for the girl.
"It's finally cleaned up. ”
"Deliver the Tiger Whip to the farmstead first, and then come back to sleep. ”
The remaining more than a pound of fried saury was taken by Li Dong to the farm, and there was fresh-keeping equipment in the farm.
I wanted to rest after my busy work, but who knew that just as I was about to take a shower and sleep, Li Dong's mobile phone rang.
"Third Uncle Han, relatives are here, this will, I will ask Uncle Wei Guo, there is still some food. ”
What kind of relatives in the middle of the night, this will come to eat, Li Dong muttered, but Han Xiaotao and his father helped Li Dong a lot, waterwheels, wheelbarrows are all made by others.
Han Weiguo fell asleep early, and Li Dong was quite surprised when he called.
"It's Uncle Xiaotao who is back, I'll go over and prepare. ”
"Uncle Wei Guo has worked hard for you. ”
Li Dong hung up the phone, came to the farm and turned on the light to help prepare some ingredients, some vegetables, fish and shrimp ponds, and soft-shelled turtles, which were killed and eaten now, as for the others, they could only make up one bite on this big night.
I haven't seen Han Weiguo for a few days, and I always feel thinner, Li Dong thinks about Weiguo when he was young, and this comparison gap is too big.
"Uncle Wei Guo, I'm still bothering you so late. ”
"Nothing, what's the food?"
"Fish and shrimp, soft-shelled turtle, and some vegetables. ”
Han Weiguo took a look, and it was not a big problem to rectify the seven or eight dishes, and it was not easy to be in the countryside at night.
The car arrived at half past twelve, and Li Dong muttered, what village did you go back to this night, and how much did you come back after a night of rest in the city.
When the car stopped, an old man walked down tremblingly, and the young man next to him immediately ran over to help him. "Grandpa, slow down. ”
"I don't have to hold it, I can still walk. ”
The old man was in good spirits, looked at the farm and smiled. "It's nice here. ”
"Young man, take your heart. ”
Li Dongxin said that some of the decorations here have a reference to the Lishan Commune in 78 years.
"Come in, old gentleman, and sit in the room. ”
Han Weiguo also came out. "Fifth uncle. ”
"Okay, well, defend the country. ”
"Hongkang, this is your Uncle Weiguo. ”
"Uncle Wei Guo, it's still disturbing your rest so late. ”
After a while, Kung Fu Han Xiaotao, he Dada, and Han Weihai also rushed over.
"Fifth uncle. ”
Han Wu, the old man's name, participated in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, changed his name to Han Wu after losing contact for a while, and only came back once in the nineties, at least Han Zhuang was only sacrificed.
Li Dong doesn't understand very much, he only knows that he can entertain an old hero, and the old man is the responsibility of the farm.
"Sir, be in a hurry, you bear with me. ”
"Where's the matter, young man, young man, it's my old man who is bothering you. ”
Although the preparation was in a hurry, there were still a few kinds of game in the dishes, especially the old man Umi liked it very much, and said yes.
"It's rare, I can still eat this. ”
Han Wu smiled and pointed at Umi and said to the young man. "Hongkang, you can taste it too, Umi, I haven't eaten it in years, thank you, young man. ”
"The old gentleman is polite. ”
Li Dong smiled and put the wild soft-shelled turtle on the table. "Sir, this is a wild soft-shelled turtle, you can taste it. ”
Wild soft-shelled turtle, Han Hongkang was a little surprised, this small farmhouse dish is really a bit special, although the price of black rice and wild soft-shelled turtle is not very high, but it is very rare.
After the soft-shelled turtle was served, Li Dong saw that the other dishes in the kitchen were ordinary, and thought of the saury fish he put in the freezer, so he simply contributed half of the knifefish.
"Uncle Wei Guo, you can help reprocess this swordfish. ”
"Saury?"
Han Weiguo looked surprised, saury, the Yangtze River section of Chicheng has not seen a saury for almost thirty years, seeing the already fried saury, Han Weiguo is a little regretful, it is not a fresh saury.
"Don't worry, I'll take care of it. ”
Knife fish, Han Weiguo hasn't done it for many years, and it took a little thought to deal with it.
"Saury?"
Li Dong came up with a swordfish, and the old man was quite surprised to see it.
"I didn't expect to be able to eat the saury from my hometown, and I died without regrets. ”
"Grandpa. ”
The young man nodded at Li Dong while comforting his grandfather with some excitement and at the same time full of gratitude, saury fish, it is really rare in normal times, it is not impossible to get it, but I didn't expect to see it in my hometown, especially at this time.
There is a dish of saury, plus soft-shelled turtle, black rice, and a few hometown dishes, although it is not hearty but does not shiver, the old man is very happy, this meal has been eaten for nearly an hour, and the old man has gone up the mountain after eating.
Worshipping his parents and grandparents, he soon left, and when he left, Han Hongkang and Li Dong exchanged contact information.
"Uncle Wei Guo, you go back and rest first, I'll clean up here. ”
As he spoke, Li Dong took out two hundred yuan and handed it to Han Weiguo. "Uncle Weiguo, it's hard work today. ”
"This kid, forget about the cost of this meal. ”
Han Weiguo waved his hand and didn't continue, Li Dong didn't say anything, this is Han Weiguo's elder, this meal, Han Weiguo is unwilling to accept money, and Li Dong can understand. "Uncle Weiguo, tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival, you can take this box of tea and crabs back. ”
Last time, Tian Liang sent crabs, there was a lot of tea, and Li Dong took a box of tea and a box of crabs for Han Weiguo.
"No, no, how can I take your things. ”
"Uncle Weiguo, what are you polite to me. ”
Saying that, he gave it to Han Weiguo, and Han Weiguo saw Li Dong's resoluteness, so he had no choice but to continue. "Then I'll go back first. ”
Han Weiguo had already cleaned up the kitchen, but Li Dong didn't spend much time to get it done, he took a shower and rested, and he didn't come over until eight o'clock the next day.
"Send a message to Jiajia first. ”
Gao Jia was asleep when the phone rang. "Brother-in-law. ”
"Jiajia, haven't gotten up yet?"
Listening to the voice, Li Dongxin said that this girl hasn't gotten rid of her habit of sleeping lazy.
"Brother-in-law, are you in trouble?"
"I'll go over and deliver something to my parents in a moment. ”
"Then I'll talk to my parents. ”
Gao Jia made an appointment with a few friends for a while, went shopping, got up to wash up with Gao Guoliang, and Zhang Fengqin said that Li Dong wanted to come over. "Mom and Dad, my brother-in-law will come over to give a gift later. ”
"This kid, I sent so many things last time, why did I send them again. ”
Li Dong is sending lion's mane mushrooms, mushrooms, and yellow essence to his parents in his hometown. "Mark it, don't lose it. ”
"Don't worry. ”
The courier took it with a smile, the thing was not heavy, but it was quite weighty, and after paying the money, Li Dong drove to Gao Guoliang Community.
When they got married, 60% of the down payment for the first house was borrowed by the two of them, and the money for the wedding banquet and even the money for the wedding photos were given to Gao Lan.
During the Chinese New Year in the first year, Li Dong didn't even have the money to buy a piece of clothing, so Zhang Fengqin bought a down jacket for thousands of yuan.
really takes Li Dong as his own son, Li Dong himself knows what he is like in the world, he is still a little childish in admitting death, and he usually has conflicts with Gao Lan, and most of the time the old couple are biased towards Li Dong and criticize Gao Lan.
Over the years, Li Dong has received too many favors, and when his parents really come to pay respect, what do his parents have, there is always no shortage of Gao Jianguo and Zhang Fengqin.
Coming to the community, Zhang Fengqin saw her son-in-law's car come in at a glance.
"The son-in-law is here, you talk, I'll go to greet you, this kid has brought a lot of things. ”
"What's the good stuff you brought with you?"
A few old sisters came to the spirit at once, good things, the mushrooms and fungus I brought last time, and they all said that they were good at home, and the daughter-in-law of wild fruits did not stop herself from giving them to her grandson, and her granddaughter ate them, and the wild dried fruits could not be bought in the supermarket.
"Nothing, some mountain goods. ”
Zhang Fengqin didn't know what Li Dong was carrying, it was nothing more than some mountain goods.
As he was talking, Li Dong walked over with a large bag and a small bag. "Mom, Aunt Wang, Aunt Liu, Aunt Zhang. ”
"Xiao Dong is here. ”
"I've got something good for your mom again. ”
"It's nothing, these days I went into the mountains to collect some lion's mane mushrooms, yellow essence, and some game. ”
Li Dong said with a smile. "It's not a festival, bring a few more bottles of good wine for Dad. ”
"This kid is so filial. ”
Lion's mane mushroom, this is a good thing, and yellow essence, a few aunts came over to see it with a smile.
Zhang Fengqin didn't stop it, and it was not easy for his son-in-law to open a farm. "Xiaodong, is there a lot of lion's mane mushrooms?"
"There are a few. ”
Li Feng looked embarrassed. "However, more than half of them were contracted by the engineering company. ”
"Wild lion's mane mushrooms are rare now. ”
"Wild?"
Lion's mane mushroom, everyone is not surprised, one of the major specialties of Chicheng.
"yes, this time I got some wild lion's mane mushrooms, as well as yellow essence. Li Dong said with a smile. "The quality of lion's mane mushrooms is not bad, and some of the yellow essence is ten years old, so I plan to keep some yellow essence wine and sell it on the farm. ”
After more than ten years of wild yellow essence, Zhang Fengqin and several old sisters were tempted. "Xiaodong, you see that there are many yellow essences, and lion's mane mushrooms, Auntie buy some." ”
"Yes, I usually don't dare to buy those qualities, we don't worry about those qualities. ”
A few aunts, open their mouths to buy some, Li Dong is not necessarily selling, Mr. Tian, Section Chief Liu, Mr. Qu, and a few bosses here to say hello casually, not to mention other tiger whip wine, these people are definitely rushing to ask for it, and when the time comes, it's not big.
"Xiaodong, if you have more here, sell some to Aunt Liu. ”
Zhang Fengqin said this, what else did Li Dong say. "Okay, I'll take some when I go back, there must be no problem with the quality, the price is a little more expensive, lion's mane mushroom is three hundred and six, and yellow essence is two hundred." ”
"The price is high, it's good!"
Well, Li Dong hasn't sent this gift into the house yet, but he has made a business, and it is nearly 10,000 yuan.
"Hey, what's in this lunch box?" Zhang Fengqin sorted out the gift that Li Dong brought, and there was an ice pack wrapped in a lunch box!
"A little saury. ”
"Saury?" Gao Jia and Liu Qing'er, who had just entered the door, thought they had heard it wrong.
