Everyone sat around the dinner table. Accountant Wang picked up the wine jug and was about to pour wine. Zhilin stood up and reached for his wine jug, "Accountant Wang, you have worked hard today. Come here, I will pour the wine. We will eat together later.
Leave the task of pouring wine to me."
"That won't work. You have to pour the wine later. Today is your first time in the village and you are a guest. I won't let you pour this wine." Accountant Wang put the wine bottle in front of him.
"Zhilin, you ask Accountant Wang to pour the wine. He is right, you are the guest today. He is the host, let him pour the wine! If you want to pour the wine in the future, I will let you pour the wine." said the village king.
Zhilin stood and said: "Prince of the village, I never drink. I think, I don't drink. I will pour you wine and accompany you."
"Never drink? When you work in the countryside, especially in our village, if you don't drink, how will you carry out your work in the future? It's not surprising that you have never drank before. It makes sense for a student kid not to drink. Now, you can learn to drink.
Drink less." The village king said.
"I, I, I won't get drunk." Zhilin looked embarrassed.
"It's okay! You drink less. You can drink as much as you like today, we'll let you. You can drink as much as you like. Sit down quickly. Accountant Wang, pour the wine. Fill it up for Zhilin first. Whether you drink it or not will be decided another time.
It's something." The village king said with a smile.
Zhilin sat down. Accountant Wang filled the glass with wine and put down the flask.
The village king took the chopsticks and said: "Eat the vegetables first, then drink. Come on, Zhilin, you eat a thigh first. This is called holding an umbrella, you know? When you are a guest in our village for the first time, you have to hold an umbrella."
, means you won’t get wet when it rains; when the sun comes out, you won’t be exposed to the sun. You officials who eat the national food, this is also called a protective umbrella. With this umbrella, it will be easier for you to get promoted in the future."
"King of the Village, if you say that, I would be embarrassed not to eat. King of the Village, when I come to the village, you will be my protective umbrella." Zhilin smiled and picked up the bowl and took the chicken thighs from the King of the Village.
.
"King of the village, you also want to eat a chicken thigh." Haiyan picked out another chicken thigh and gave it to the king.
"Zhilin, come, I will eat with you. Eat this chicken thigh first, and then drink. Come, you can eat whatever you like." The village king said and started eating.
Zhilin also started eating.
Zhilin took a bite, chewed slowly for a while, then scooped some soup into a bowl with a spoon, drank some soup, and said with a smile: "This chicken is so delicious! It's sweet, fragrant, and delicious.
pure."
"Well! This is a native chicken raised in the stockade. Accountant Wang's cooking skills are good, so of course it is delicious! However, there are more delicious foods in the stockade, such as winter grass rats, snake meat, hares, wild cats, white mice, etc.
"Wait, time is tight today, there is no time to get game. Don't worry, you are not here in the village for just one or two days. You will have many opportunities to eat these game in the future, which will be even more delicious!" the village king said happily.
"Oh. Do you eat snakes? I'm afraid of you even talking about it." Zhilin said with a smile.
"What are you afraid of? You won't be afraid after eating it once. I'm thinking about eating it! That snake meat soup is sweeter and more pure than this chicken soup, and it will make you more greedy! I was also afraid before and didn't eat it. Now,
When I heard there was snake meat, I ran to get the chopsticks!" After Shui Hua finished speaking, everyone started laughing.
"It's a blessing for me to come to the village." Zhilin said with a smile.
"Eat, don't just talk about it. We have to wait until you finish eating this chicken thigh before you can drink." The village king said with a smile.
Zhilin stopped talking and had no choice but to eat the chicken thighs, because the village king had already finished the chicken thighs and was waiting for her.
Zhilin took a few bites of the chicken thighs, but before she finished, she said with a smile: "Prince of the Village, you guys are drinking, and you are watching me eating alone. I am embarrassed."
"Who told you not to finish your meal? You eat, and we will drink after you finish." The village king looked at her with a smile.
Zhilin had no choice but to eat again. After she finished eating, she picked up the wine glass and said, "You are too enthusiastic. Let's do whatever you want from now on. Otherwise, I really can't stand it. Come, I will drink with you. I really don't drink. I mean
I mean." As she said that, she stood up, clinked the wine glasses of several people, and then took a sip of wine.
After Zhilin took a sip of wine, she quickly turned her head towards the back for a while, then turned her head and said, "I almost choked, this wine is for me."
Everyone laughed again, and the village king said: "Zhilin, you really don't drink. Drink as much as you like. Don't drink too much in one sip. Drink smaller amounts and learn slowly."
"Well, thank you, the village king." Zhilin said, looking at the village king and smiling.
"Accountant Wang, we can't drink too much at noon today. We have another task in the afternoon. You and Shuihua are responsible for tidying up the widest room for Zhilin, with the beds and desks inside. It should look like home anyway.
.I will take Zhilin to my house first, and then ask Xueer to help Zhilin take the quilt to make her bed. Tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow, you go to the town to buy her a new quilt, let her use it in the future, and return it.
Help her buy cooking utensils and daily necessities. Tonight, tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, he will have dinner at your house. Of course, if a villager invites me, I will take her with me. What do you think?" The village king looked at Accountant Wang.
"Okay. It's okay. Zhilin, after dinner, look at what daily necessities you need and write me a list." Accountant Wang looked at Zhilin.
"Thank you, thank you! You are so thoughtful." Zhilin said with a smile.
"I told you not to be polite, why are you still like this? Come on, have a drink. Zhi Lin, you will finish this glass of wine at noon today and I won't serve you any more," the village king said, holding up the glass.
"Okay. I'll drink slowly with you." Zhilin said with a smile.
Several people chatted and drank for about half an hour, and then they all had their meals.
After the meal, several people drank tea and chatted for a while.
The village king looked at the time, stood up and said, "It's almost two o'clock. Accountant Wang, you and Shui Hua go to clean up Zhilin's house. I'll take her to our house to sit there. At about four o'clock, you two will definitely clean up."
Okay, I'll let Xue'er take Zhilin to make the quilt, and then you come back to cook, warm the lunch dishes in the evening, and add a cured fish and a green vegetable."
"Okay. Ask Xue'er to come over to meet Zhilin tonight. There will be no outsiders anyway," Accountant Wang said.
"Okay. After Xue'er and Zhilin make the bed, let them come together." The village king said and went out.
Zhilin followed the village king to Xueer's house.
"Xue'er, we have a visitor, guess what she is here for?" the village king said with a smile as he entered the room.
"We have a guest! Please come in and sit down." Xueer greeted her with a smile.
"Ah! Such a young and beautiful girl! Look at this fashionable dress. I can't guess what she is here for. I think she looks like a college student! She can't be here for research!" Xueer saw Zhilin wearing
