Chapter 311 Big Banquet
August 15th.
Everyone in Xiaoan Village got up early.
There was a big banquet to be held in the village today, and to be honest, they didn't know how to organize it.
There are not enough tables, chairs, and benches, and I don’t know where to put the pots, pots, dishes, and chopsticks.
It was the Yan family who made the sample.
A simple shed is set up, just like setting up a stall in a big market. Come early, sit down and sit down late, and serve your own bowls directly from the pot.
The Yan family prepares tofu curd and soy milk in the morning.
Yan Laoer made the stew himself, cut out a few slices of white tofu, and poured the juice over it.
After drinking a bowl of it with a slurping sound, my whole body felt energetic.
Not much soy milk and sugar, just a little sweet.
Yan Yu poured it into his own small bamboo tube and drank it as he walked.
It didn’t take long for the village center to be slowly occupied by various sheds.
It feels like catching up with a small market.
What's even better is that you can get whatever you want without paying for it.
Yan Yu ate rice cakes, sticky cakes, wontons, noodles...
Countless people make porridge, and each family mixes it with pickles in a variety of ways.
The shrimp paste made by Grandma Wang is particularly delicious. If you dip it into a steamed bun, Yan Yu can eat half of the steamed bun in one breath.
As for why it was half, I really couldn’t eat it.
She is the one who wrote the novel with big eyes and big belly.
The wave in the morning was not over yet, and Yan Yu was already looking forward to noon.
Village Chief Luo said that today the whole village can do nothing except hold a big banquet, so everyone gathers together to have a lively festival.
A village of young and old gathered together, greeted each other with smiles, tasted other people's craftsmanship, and commented on it for a while.
In addition to the lady selling tofu, there were also several ladies from other villages watching with envy.
They came together, just to watch the excitement.
There was no entertainment in the countryside. At the big fair, they heard that Xiaoan Village was going to hold a big banquet, so they wanted to come over and join in the fun.
I was also curious about how this group of foreigners who had fled the country would prepare a banquet.
I didn't expect it to be so random.
There is no serious chef, and the menu is not decided, and it does not start at noon. The festival in Xiaoan Village starts in the morning.
You can eat from start to finish with one bowl.
It’s so, so fresh!
"I want to try that tofu noodle too." A certain lady whispered.
I poked at the tofu seller and said, "Sister-in-law, you can do it too, right?"
"Every family makes the same flavor. Even though my family sells tofu, it may not be as delicious as other people's." The tofu lady said modestly.
Her eyes were fixed on Mrs. Cui. Seeing that her family had no food, she started to pack things and hurriedly reached out to help.
"Oh, Mrs. Cui, your village holds a banquet in the morning? It's really different from our customs in Guanzhou."
Mrs. Cui said with a smile: "Isn't this the first big festival after we settled down? Even during the New Year, it may not be as lively as today.
Alas, why haven't you left yet? The Yan family didn't give you an accounting? No way."
"Okay, okay, I'm not just watching your village lively, I just stood there for a while." Madam Tofu was quick with her hands and feet, and she had a keen eye, and she quickly helped Madam Cui sort out her affairs.
Other ladies also came over and talked to Mrs. Cui in all directions.
Mrs. Cui kept calling her ladies, and she recognized them all: "Are you all here to see the fun? Just in time, come to my house and stand up, and recognize the door."
"Aren't you going to accept this shed?" a lady asked.
"Leave it for now, you'll need it at noon and evening," Lady Cui said.
When they entered Cui's house, the ladies became confused when they saw Mr. Cui. Look at me, and I'll look at you.
Ms. Cui was not embarrassed: "This is the head of my family. Yes, he is the doctor who felt my pulse at the fair. Sisters, don't laugh at me. This is not because I am unfamiliar with the place. I want to let people know what our family does."
"Those who work in this industry, if you have a headache, a fever, a fever, or a minor illness, please come and take a look at it. My fellow villagers, we will collect the money for the medicine and subsidize the family income."
What she said was so true that all the ladies were very fond of her.
"Sister, you are a real person and can get along well. Please come to my house to visit me when you have free time."
"Go to my house too. Our village is not far from here. You can see it by the roadside in less than an hour's walk to the west."
Mrs. Cui solemnly introduced her donkey to several people: "My family has a donkey cart, which is convenient for going out. When the vegetables from the fields are harvested, I will ask the boss to take me around. I will not be polite if I enter your village."
, I have to come to my door to ask for a drink of water."
"What about heretics? Just come."
"How is your boss' medical treatment? Do you really only charge for the medicine, not the consultation fee?"
"He can't do it for serious illnesses, but he can come for minor ones. What kind of medical fee does it cost? We don't make a lot of money based on this. It's just that the people in our village have a hard time collecting medicine. They go to the mountains to see the weather. We can't let people work in vain."
Another thing, we don’t need to pay for the consultation, but it wouldn’t be good if the medicine is cheaper than what you get at other people’s pharmacies. They talk a lot in this business, so don’t make them unhappy.”
Mrs. Cui's attitude of confiding in each other's hearts and having deep conversations suddenly shortened the distance between her and other ladies.
The more we talked, the warmer they became. Sister and sister were so close to each other.
Mrs. Cui left the meal generously.
"Don't leave today. You come to see the fun. How can I make you have an empty stomach? Just let me eat at my house. It's okay. It belongs to my family."
"Don't be busy with lunch now. I'll take you to see the vegetables grown in our village when I have time now. Let me tell you, they are really juicy and beautiful. You can tell me what your autumn vegetables are missing.
We can't do it today, we have to pick all the big ones. If you come back in a few days, we will pick them from the ground and take them away for you."
Mrs. Cui smiled and patted her donkey: "It's okay if there are too many. I'll send them home for you."
Several ladies happily followed her to the floor to watch the dishes.
Mrs. Cui turned around and shouted: "Daddy, please fill up the water tank. I will be back in a moment."
Mr. Cui sighed and looked down for a bucket.
One of the ladies smiled even more cordially: "Your baby is also called Gouzi! What a coincidence, mine is the same."
"I have two brats, big dog and little dog. Where are yours?"
"There is only one in my family, and the younger one is my daughter."
"My dearest girl, you are so considerate!"
…
An outsider came to the village and was taken to the fields by Mrs. Cui. The news spread throughout the village like the wind.
Yan Yu was taught by Xiao Xiaozi.
"My aunt is really capable!" Yan Yu admired her sincerely: "You have made friends now, and you will be able to sell vegetables in two days."
Coyotito said: "They still have to eat. They are not allowed to eat twice at noon and evening. My father asked me to ask if they can eat?"
Yan Yu:……
My uncle's focus is on practical matters.
"Why don't you let them eat? There are only a few of them and they can't eat much. They are guests and we welcome them in Xiao'an Village." Yan Laoer answered from the side.
Coyotito's serious little face softened. His mother left food for him, not to mention his father, who was worried.
He was afraid that if he didn't prepare enough, these ladies would be out of food, and the people in the village would not be able to eat his food.
Then how can they have the nerve to eat at other people's houses?
