When Meng Yao originally said this, he still planned to be rejected by Old Man Hu.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she said these words, Old Man Hu sat up straight.
"Then why are you still sitting there? Why don't you hurry up and get ready!"
Meng Yao: "..."
The co-author is waiting for her here.
Meng Yao clenched his fists in front of Old Man Hu to express his dissatisfaction, but he still stood up obediently and went to the kitchen to prepare side dishes.
Old Man Hu naturally didn't take Meng Yao's dissatisfaction to heart. Seeing that his wish was fulfilled, he sat back on the wicker chair with satisfaction and shook it again and again.
Drinking a little wine and shaking at the same time, this day is really comfortable.
Liu Yishou has resigned from his job here and returned to Kyoto, while his senior brother Zhao Yidao has also returned to Kyoto.
Zhao Yidao and Liu Yishou did not have an open and honest contest here, so the restaurant opened by Qiao Xiyan closed down.
Zhao Yidao was furious in his heart, but he didn't take this small setback to heart and packed up his clothes and walked away silently.
Liu Yishou stayed here for a short time before leaving.
Their contest will begin in Kyoto.
After Liu Yishou left, Hu Laosi found a few more cooks for Old Man Hu.
However, because of Old Man Hu's childish temper, which in the eyes of outsiders he seemed to have a good temper and was particularly good at looking for trouble, the cooks around him left one after another.
Old Man Hu was angry and wouldn't let anyone come.
Meng Yao would deliver it to him when he was free. When Meng Yao was not free, he would go to a restaurant to eat.
I really didn’t have time, so I went to the street to buy something to eat.
Although it is rare to buy food on the street, every time Mr. Hu goes there to eat, he complains that it is not delicious when he comes back.
He said that this taste was wrong, that taste was wrong, and he said that he was suffering and couldn't even eat a meal, so he asked Meng Yao to give him some food.
Uncle Hu is really a little kid.
Uncle Hu has as many things here as ever, but now most of them are cooked food because no one cooks for him.
Meng Yao saw the warm braised pig ears and prepared some for Uncle Hu.
I guess one of the brothers from the Hu family saw that Uncle Hu was always drinking and made some snacks for him.
Pig ears, peanuts, and some grilled mutton skewers.
There were also sausages she sent, which were steamed, cut into slices, and placed on the plate.
The cucumbers were too cold to eat, so Meng Yao simply cut them into pieces and served them with preserved eggs.
"Uncle, it's too cold outside, please eat inside."
There is a stove in the house and it is warm. It is not cold when you sit in the house. With Uncle Hu's current body, it is not a problem to eat some cucumbers.
"OK!"
This time, Old Man Hu was not awkward. He was very easy to talk to. When we came together, he took his own wine glass and small flask and walked into the house humming a tune.
In just a short time, several dishes were prepared. Old Man Hu tugged his beard with satisfaction, but there were too many dishes, and it was not a good experience to eat and drink alone.
Old Man Hu hummed again.
But this time Heng Heng did not face Meng Yao, but towards the courtyard and outside the wall.
"That old woman named Jiang didn't come over to apologize to me."
"And Old Man Sun, come here."
Meng Yao noticed Old Man Hu's awkwardness and chuckled, "Uncle, if you want your godfather and godmother to accompany you, just say so. They won't laugh at you."
Why can't you laugh?
If he said it, Old Lady Jiang would definitely laugh out loud. She might even point at his nose and say, "Kneel down and beg me, and come here if you beg me."
Bah, he won’t say it!
Meng Yao shook his head and saw that it was getting late, so he told Old Man Hu to leave.
Old Man Hu knew that she was busy, so he didn't keep her around and just waved his hand to let her go.
However, Meng Yao did not leave directly. He went around to another courtyard and invited Jiang Huizhi and Old Man Hu over before leaving.
The New Year's gifts prepared for Wu Aizhen and the others have already been delivered to them. They are the closest ones and can be considered the earliest ones to send them.
There was also Grandma Zhao. When Meng Yao sent it to her, she refused for a long time and refused to take it. In the end, it was Meng Yao who brought out the meat and Grandma Zhao accepted it.
Meng Yao prepares different gifts for everyone. For example, Grandma Zhao, whose family is not rich, can prepare meat, candy, cloth, etc. for the New Year gift, including her eldest brother and sister-in-law.
My godfather, my godmother, my uncle, they have money at home and a relatively well-off life, so it would be inappropriate to give these things away.
As for the New Year's gift for Uncle Huang, Meng Yao also prepared meat and sausages. To them, these were serious New Year's gifts.
After Meng Yao bought saplings and walnuts for the first time, someone came to collect them, but she did not come in person.
She asked Uncle Huang to find her, and Uncle Wang was indeed of great help, helping her collect a lot of high-quality hawthorns and walnuts.
She was always grateful.
But this time Meng Yao went over and brought New Year gifts, which still made Uncle Huang flattered.
"This, this, I can't accept this."
There is such a big piece of meat, sausage, and white rabbit toffee inside. This is for the children at home.
I heard that Uncle Huang has many children at home.
Of course, there are also some vermicelli and green vegetables. It is the custom of this place to put these. Meng Yao followed suit and put some.
"Uncle Huang, just accept it."
"No, no, no..."
Uncle Huang kept waving his hands, but Meng Yao still put the things on their ground.
Uncle Huang was refusing, but beside him, several children had already gathered around him.
When I saw the contents inside, I twitched my fingers. A young child asked for sweets and asked for some sweets.
Uncle Huang angrily scolded: "Go and play."
The expression on his face told her that he didn't know why Meng Yao gave such a valuable thing and didn't dare to accept it.
Meng Yao thought for a while and said, "Uncle Huang, actually I came here to ask you to plant an orchard!"
"orchard?"
Uncle Huang looked surprised.
"Yes, Uncle Huang, I plan to build a breeding farm next year, and I would like to ask you to help me take care of it. I wonder if you are willing?"
Meng Yao does have the idea of building a breeding farm, and he does want to ask Uncle Huang for help, but not now.
The reason why she said this was to ease Uncle Huang's heart.
Originally, she came to give the New Year's gift just to express her gratitude to Uncle Huang, but she didn't expect that it would make him uneasy.
"This this……"
Uncle Huang looked really at a loss, because he had never thought that such a thing would happen to him, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.
Meng Yao naturally doesn't need him to answer now.
"Uncle Huang, you don't have to answer in a hurry. I'm planning to build a breeding farm. These will happen in the coming year. You should think about it first. It doesn't matter whether you agree or not."
"I came here mainly to thank you. I have collected a lot of walnuts and hawthorns during this period, and the quality is very good. I heard that you specially helped to check them. Thank you very much."
After Meng Yao's persuasion, Uncle Hu finally accepted the things, which made Meng Yao feel relieved.
When he sent her away, Meng Yao looked at the mountains in the distance and couldn't help but smile and said: "When spring comes next year, I may come back to see what good things there are in the mountains, and then I will invite Uncle Huang.
