Zhang Yang was only seven years old at that time. Zhang Donggua and his wife had been working as long-term workers in the Cheng family all year round and could not take care of the two children at home. Zhang Yang refused to obey the control of the old Deng family since he was a child and loved to run around singing the opposite tune.
As a result, one day, I ran into a trafficker who was visiting the area and was captured by the trafficker.
But Zhang Yang was not only not afraid, but actually fooled the trafficker.
At that time, this incident became a hot topic in Shiliba Village.
After all, human traffickers are hateful. They have kidnapped so many children and broken up so many families.
But Zhang Yang, a seven-year-old child, was abducted by a trafficker but managed to escape from the trafficker, and even deceived the trafficker into being executed by the county government. How could this not be worth talking about?
Therefore, Zhang Yang is indeed a man with a good brain. It is really not too worrying to go out alone. As long as he doesn't have a hot head and messes with people he can't afford, nothing will happen.
Song Qiu thought this way and became more settled, "Don't worry."
When Zhang Lihua heard what she said, she thought about her brother's temperament. Although she was still a little worried, it became much less worried. "You are right, nothing will happen to my brother."
Putting aside this worry, the most important thing now is to collect mountain mushrooms and save money.
Zhang Lihua worked hard to pick it up, and gave Song Qiu an even pound each time so that she could help sell it. As for her family, as long as she carried the mushrooms back every day, she would not care how much she carried, as long as she had a lot.
Just go too far.
Soon, the 22nd day came. Zhang Lihua put aside saving money for the time being and waited excitedly to go to Chengjiazhuang with Song Qiu to sit on the flowing water mat and watch a big show.
Early on the morning of the 22nd, Old Yuan was invited by a family in a neighboring village to deliver the baby. They had agreed to go together, but now only Song Qiu and Zhang Lihua were together.
Of course, everyone else in the village also wanted to go, but Song Qiu and Zhang Lihua wanted to be quiet and didn't want to go with so many people, so they went up to the mountain to pick up mountain mushrooms for half the morning, and then slowly and leisurely headed to Chengjiazhuang.
Anyway, tables are distributed throughout the day, and every table is filled, so there is no need to hurry up.
Chengjiazhuang is not far from Panshi Town, just on the edge of the town. It is closer and more convenient to take the path of Ping An Daji, but it also takes more than an hour to walk.
When Song Qiu and Zhang Lihua arrived and saw the outline of Chengjiazhuang, there were also many people from villages ten miles away rushing here one after another.
Chengjiazhuang is very large, as big as two or three other villages. Among them, a cluster of blue bricks and green tiles tightly surrounded in the middle takes up more than half of the entire Chengjiazhuang. That is Landlord Cheng.
Home.
The thousands of acres of fertile land surrounding the Chengjiazhuang belong to the Cheng family. Of course, the Cheng family is not limited to these. There are many other places. The so-called big landowners cannot be faked.
of.
In the distance, I could hear the lively sounds of opera singers. Zhang Lihua’s face lit up with excitement. The rest of the Zhang family had already come here, and no one cared about her. She was the freest to run around today.
One day, naturally I am happy.
"Aqiu, let's hurry up!"
The two little girls ran very fast hand in hand. There were many like them along the way, so they didn't attract anyone's attention.
Soon, I entered Zhuangzi.
After entering Zhuangzi, you will see a very large square. At this time, there are sheds one after another, filled with tables and stools. At a glance, you can't count how many tables there are, and how many people there are.
On the large round stage in the middle of the square, actors in costumes were singing and dancing. Some were eating meat and drinking, while others were watching with gusto.
Song Qiu had good eyesight and noticed that there was a table over there that was not yet full, so he quickly pulled Zhang Lihua and ran over there.
The general ran over, grabbed two seats and sat down, so the table was completely full.
In such a situation, it was impossible to tell who was following whom, so they just had to find a seat and sit down.
After sitting down, Zhang Lihua stretched her neck and looked at the round platform.
Song Qiu had no interest in listening to the opera, so he looked around curiously.
There were many servants in uniforms walking back and forth in the square, serving food and collecting plates and bowls.
Several sheds in the southeast corner were busy preparing banquets, and in two sheds many ladies were busy cleaning the dishes, chopsticks, etc. that had been put in.
Although everything was busy, everything was orderly and without any trouble.
It's strange that this kind of flowing water table can be made.
Some people also noticed which table was full of people who wanted to sit at the banquet table. Seeing that Song Qiu and the others had enough seats for eight people at the table, eight pairs of clean dishes and chopsticks were served.
Then, from the shed over there, a woman or a stout man came over there carrying a big tray.
They are all very strong, and one person can carry a whole table of dishes over, "Here comes the food!"
There was a shout here, and a woman who happened to be sitting next to Song Qiu's table stood up and put the dishes on the tray on the table one by one.
A bowl of braised pork, a bowl of braised fish, a bowl of braised assorted vegetables, a dish of braised chicken with soy sauce, a dish of stewed duck with winter melon, a bowl of braised tofu, a bowl of braised vermicelli sausage, and a bowl of loofah egg soup.
There are eight dishes in total, all delicious and delicious, making people drool just by looking at them.
In addition, there were a bunch of white-faced steamed buns, eight on a table, each one as big as a strong man's fist.
"I heard that the chef team from the Bafu Restaurant in the town was specially invited to prepare the banquet! Look at this dish, we are so lucky to be able to eat the food cooked by this chef!" A woman said happily.
The people at the table listened, but no one responded to her. The food was already on the table, so why not eat it quickly and wait?
When Song Qiu and Zhang Lihua saw their tablemate holding a bowl and waving their chopsticks, they started to eat the steamed buns and vegetables without saying a word. They also quickly picked up their chopsticks and got a steamed bun first and then vegetables.
Zhang Lihua had never eaten at a banquet before, and this was her first time. She was so excited that she didn’t know which dish to pick. She felt that her saliva was about to flow out, so she quickly picked up a piece of soft and glutinous braised pork and blocked her mouth.
Song Qiu first took a chopstick to eat the sausage, then tasted a chopstick tofu, and then ate a piece of sauce chicken. He couldn't help but give a thumbs up in his mind.
Although it was a running-water banquet served one table after another, the taste was indeed quite good. He was indeed a chef from a big restaurant, so he had to say it.
She herself couldn't guarantee that she would be able to cook the same delicious food while working on so many tables.
In a daze, Song Qiu put a piece of braised pork into the bowl. Song Qiu looked over and saw Zhang Lihua going to pick up the braised pork. When he turned around and saw her watching, he winked at her and said, "Aqiu, why are you so stunned? Cai
It’s almost gone!”
Song Qiu looked at the table and saw that except for the loofah and egg soup that night, there were no other dishes left.
Everyone at the table was so full of food that they didn't even bother to talk.
She couldn't help but smile, nodded, stretched out her chopsticks and accurately picked away the last two pieces of sausage, and gave one piece to Zhang Lihua, "Well, eat it quickly."
Eight bowls of food, eight people, they ate them all in no more than a quarter of an hour.
Song Qiu touched his still-not-full stomach and thought that he was going to have a flowing banquet. Otherwise, such a table wouldn't be enough to feed everyone.
The key is, everyone on the table is edible, and if you eat it so fast without spitting out your bones, you can't beat it.
She was thinking about joining another table to eat? Then she saw the other people at the same table mouthed, and they all dispersed and found an empty table to sit down.
