"You go ahead. We've had breakfast and we're not hungry yet. I'll take my friends around, so you don't have to greet me."
The guests at the table in the courtyard were obviously going to have lunch here, and Li Langui had to cook. While Li Manjun was eating the watermelon grown in the farmer's own land, he waved his hand, telling her not to worry about him, as the fruit was enough.
Li Langui had no time to be polite to her. He smiled apologetically at Shirley Zhong and his family, and told them to just tell them if they needed anything. Then he went into the kitchen and continued working.
Li Langui's two children were still a little embarrassed, so Li Manjun waved to them to come over.
"Auntie," the sister and brother called sweetly.
They may have done the work, helping to greet the guests, and they also prepared the fruits.
I rarely see my cousin in every year, but I know them. Li Langui brought her child back during the Chinese New Year this year. I remember that my cousin gave me two pumpkin candies.
But I finished eating secretly outside the door, and my mother didn't know.
Niannian held the router's hand and came to her cousins, asking her younger brothers to follow her and call her "sister" and "brother."
The router's family doesn't have many relatives and children, and they don't see each other very often. He only knows his sister Nian Nian, and now that he has two more sisters and brother, he is a little scared of strangers.
Seeing that he refused to call anyone, Nian Nian sighed and didn't want to take him with him anymore. He went directly to hold his cousin's hand and said, "Sister, take me to see the little ***."
My cousin naturally agreed and invited her younger brother to join her and take Nian Nian to play in the backyard.
As soon as the router saw it, he immediately wanted to follow him. Nian Nian pointed at him domineeringly, "You are not allowed to play with us unless you call me."
The router's mouth dropped, and he wanted to cry, but he still softly called out: "Sister, brother."
Nian Nian smiled brightly and immediately came over to lead him, "You are so good. Come on, let's go see the chickens together."
"Be careful." Li Manjun warned her worriedly, and asked her niece not to take them too far.
The little girl was ten years old and nodded sensibly, "Don't worry, Auntie, we'll just take a look at the fence."
Li Manjun was relieved, smiled and waved, "Go ahead."
Shirley Zhong put down the sweet watermelon, stood up and went to the water tank to wash her hands. She took a look at the children in the backyard and sighed:
"My sister, Xiaolu, eats to death every year."
Lu Shengming was also very emotional, "Usually when we ask him to bark, he bites his tongue and doesn't scream. Today, my sister asked him to bark, and he actually screamed."
Shirley Zhong shook her head in a funny way, "This is just one thing destroying another thing."
Zhao Yong disagreed. He saw that his daughter was becoming more and more domineering. It would not be good if she bullied her classmates later.
After telling his wife about his worries, Li Manjun smiled lightly and said, let nature take its course, it is better than being bullied.
But you can't just spoil her. You can protect yourself, but you can't bully other children.
After Li Langui finished cooking, he greeted the guests at the dining table and brought two baskets of vegetables over for Li Manjun to pick and take home to eat.
"The ones I grow at home don't look that good, but they taste pretty good. See if there's anything you like. You're welcome, just take it."
After that, fearing that they would have nothing to pack, another person gave them a small bamboo basket.
"This basket is exquisitely made. Did your brother-in-law make it yourself?" Li Manjun asked curiously.
Li Langui nodded, "Isn't that right? He usually likes to immerse himself in making small gadgets. In the past, I always scolded him that he might as well help *** with some housework if he had such time. Unexpectedly, these small objects were quite popular. We used to
When I set up a stall at a highway intersection, I sold a lot of them."
"But these are not for sale. I use them to pick fruits for customers." Li Langui hurriedly added, fearing that Li Manjun wouldn't want them.
Zhong Shirley was a little embarrassed, but when Li Manjun told her not to be polite, she was delighted and brought two pumpkins and a handful of green vegetables.
"Eat here in the afternoon before leaving. Later you go to the yard to pick your own vegetables. I will cook them for you. You can pick whatever you want to eat." Li Langui warmly invited.
Li Manjun and Zhao Yong are in agriculture
Growing up in a village, I didn’t feel anything at all.
But for Shirley Zhong and Shengming Lu, who grew up in the city, picking their own vegetables to cook is so much fun.
I took the small bamboo basket and immediately got up and walked towards the vegetable garden in the backyard. I was surprised by everything I saw.
Zhao Yong followed him over to look at the child.
Li Manjun was too lazy to move, drinking the wine brought by Li Langui and sitting under the fruit tree to enjoy the scenery.
Blue sky, white clouds, green mountains and green water, there is nothing more comfortable than this.
In the middle of the afternoon, the first table of guests left and the courtyard became quiet.
Li Langui came to sit across from Li Manjun and asked her expectantly: "What do you think of me?"
Li Manjun nodded, "That's fine, but I drank a little less."
Li Langui smiled and said helplessly: "It's too hot, there's no refrigerator at home, and it's hard to put things away, so I didn't prepare too much."
Li Manjun thought about it and understood that the farmhouse had just begun. Looking at the tables, chairs and bluestone paths in the courtyard, they must have cost a lot of money.
It's still in the trial operation stage, so I don't dare to invest too much.
"This is also very good. You can sit down and eat some fruits, and if you are interested, you can pick some fruits and cook them yourself. It is quite a farmhouse fun."
The most important thing is that this village has beautiful scenery, but you can't buy this thing no matter how much money you spend.
"By the way, do you do barbecue?" Li Manjun asked.
Li Langui shook her head. She had never had barbecue before. Looking at the skewers sold in the town, she felt that it was not very hygienic and there was a lot of fumes.
Li Manjun immediately told her: "Then let's cook it. You only need to prepare the charcoal fire and ingredients for barbecue, and let the guests grill the rest. It's easier than stir-frying, and young people like it now."
Li Langui really didn't expect it and asked in surprise: "So it turns out that young people in the city like to eat this?"
"I like it. You can prepare more beer and soda. This is easy to store and you don't have to worry about putting it away. Barbecue and beer and soda go perfectly together."
"We are in the mountains and there are no other canteens. You can raise the price of your drinks a little higher than in the city. Wouldn't that increase your profits?"
Li Manjun just looked at the menu of Li Langui's house. The charges are too honest and he doesn't make much money. He can only say that the vegetables are grown at home and the cost is relatively low.
"Next month, the employees from my company who went to the capital for training will also come back. I plan to do a team building and bring them to your place for barbecue. There are about twenty people. Can we sit down in the courtyard?" Li Manjun asked with a smile.
.
Li Langui was startled for a moment, and then responded with surprise: "Yes, yes, yes, I'll just ask your brother-in-law to make a few more stools. There can be five or six tables in the courtyard."
"Okay, that's settled then. I'll call you when I get back to confirm the specific time."
However, this phone call is still a bit troublesome. Li Langui's family is not pretending, so they have to call the village first and ask the village committee to tell them.
But there is no rush now, let’s make some money first, so that we won’t lose money if we can’t keep driving.
Li Langui also said: "Then I'll put out the entire barbecue menu. Then you can see if the price is right. Anyway, it's from your company, so I'll give you a 20% discount."
