When Duan Hongxuan and his senior brothers returned to his small courtyard, it was already past twelve o'clock.
In the small courtyard, the adults drank tea, ate snacks and fruits, and chatted lively.
The children were running around in the yard, playing with each other.
As soon as he saw Duan Hongxuan and the others coming back, Director Wang called out to Duan Hongxuan: "Xiaosi, hurry up, I'm waiting for you!"
Duan Hongxuan looked confused, "Godmother, what are you waiting for me to do?"
"Waiting for you to cook! What else can I do?"
Duan Hongxuan was speechless, "If I don't come back, you will always be hungry without eating!
I thought that by now, you should have cooked the food, and we would have ready-made meals when we get back!
I never thought you would rather be hungry than wait for me to come back and cook for you, okay?
Godfather, you just look at me like this and don’t say anything?"
Director Zhao Da said calmly, "I can't cook, so I don't have a say!"
Duan Hongxuan said contemptuously: "Come on, godfather, stop making excuses.
Me too, when I was facing my godmother, how could I think of asking you to help me stand out? I was so disappointed that I went crazy!
I forgot that your husband is weak here!
Ah! The old feudal system was overthrown and a new system was established!
The three mountains that were weighing on the heads of the working people have been overthrown, and now even the female comrades have been liberated. Not only are they liberated, but they are also weighing on the heads of some men suffering from tracheitis!
Alas! I wonder if the next revolution can make some men stand up!"
"Poof!"
"Hahaha!"
Duan Hongxuan's funny words made everyone laugh. Director Zhao was so angry that he blew his beard and glared. He pointed at Duan Hongxuan and yelled: "It's not big or small, why don't you hurry up and cook!"
Duan Hongxuan chuckled and made a face at Director Zhang.
Director Wang was secretly proud in his heart, but his face was stern: "What nonsense are you talking about? Hurry up and cook, everyone is hungry.
The vegetables have been washed and cut for you, and the steamed buns have been steamed. All you have to do is stir-fry. It would be so easy to do it!"
The sister-in-law sitting next to her smiled and said, "Junior brother, everyone says that the food you cook is delicious. Those who are capable work hard, so thank you for the hard work!"
Duan Hongxuan looked at his godmother, then at his sister-in-law, shook his head and sighed: "Why did you two strong women get together!
How will my senior brother and our Director Zhao live in the future?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the two men named by Duan Hongxuan had black lines on their faces, and the two strong women covered their mouths and snickered.
Just as Duan Hongxuan was about to turn around and go to the kitchen, Director Wang stopped him again: "Xiaosi, are you hungry again?
By the way, it’s already September, why are your grapes still green?
What kind of grape is this? When will it mature?"
Duan Hongxuan looked up at the grapes above his head and said, "Godmother, my grapes are a new variety. They are ripe and ready to be picked!"
"No way? They still look green!" Director Wang looked up in confusion.
"These grapes are also green when they are ripe. You can pick them if you want to eat them. They are quite sweet.
If you want to pick, pick the ones that look a little translucent, then they are ripe.
If it doesn’t look translucent and feels astringent, it means it’s not yet ripe.”
When Director Wang heard this, he immediately became energetic and stood up to greet everyone, especially the few young men who quickly picked grapes.
When everyone heard that the grapes were ripe, adults and children all gathered around and started picking grapes in a lively manner.
Duan Hongxuan went into the kitchen to cook.
After a while, Duan Hongxuan could hear all kinds of shouting and screaming in the kitchen.
"Wow! These grapes are really sweet!"
"Ah! It's delicious!"
……
Duan Hongxuan was frying vegetables, listening to the sounds in the courtyard, and felt proud, "I transplanted them from the space deliberately, of course they are delicious!
It has high sweetness, lots of juice, plump grains, and the key yield is high!
This kind of grape is the only one in my yard!"
There were many people in the yard today, so four tables were set up. Naturally, the dishes Duan Hongxuan cooked had to be divided into four portions.
While Duan Hongxuan was waiting for the dishes to be served, everyone in the courtyard was happily eating grapes.
The dishes are rich and of high quality.
Braised pork, sweet and sour pork ribs, spicy chicken nuggets, large intestines, hot kidneys, stir-fried pork liver, spicy chicken offal, braised grass carp, etc. It can be said that they are all delicious and delicious.
It was already past 12 o'clock, and everyone was hungry. As soon as the food was put on the table, the stomachs of both adults and children began to growl, and everyone couldn't stop swallowing.
Duan Hongxuan went back to the house and took out two wine jars, each weighing three pounds.
"This is a good wine. It has medicinal and health-preserving effects. Adults, children, and pregnant women can all drink it!
The minors can have a drink each, the adults can do what they can, but don’t drink too much. Not only will you waste the food on the table, but also the good wine!"
When Mr. Wei saw it, his eyes lit up, "Junior brother, did you brew this?"
Duan Hongxuan hesitated for a moment, thought about it, and nodded.
"That's great, I'll try it first. If it's good, junior brother, you have to give me a few jars!"
With that said, Mr. Wei first took a jar and started to open it, and suddenly a tangy fragrance came to his face.
Smelling the alluring aroma of wine, Mr. Wei couldn't wait to pour himself a glass first, then raised the glass. He first took a deep breath and smelled the aroma of the wine, and then took a careful sip. He closed his eyes and carefully
Savor it!
After taking a sip of wine, Mr. Wei felt a warm current exploding in his stomach. His limbs all felt warm, and all the pores in his body relaxed, feeling comfortable all over!
"Good wine! Good wine!
Junior brother, this wine is indeed good for your health, it’s so good!
When I leave today, I will grab four or five jars for myself no matter what!"
"Hongxuan, isn't this the wine you got last time? Didn't you say you got this wine from your father's comrades? Why did you brew it yourself now?"
Director Wang stared at Duan Hongxuan.
Duan Hongxuan quickly explained: "Godmother, I did brew this wine myself, but the brewing is too difficult and the cost is too high!
I was afraid that others would care about me, so I made up a lie like this one sent by my dad’s former comrade-in-arms.
I brought wine to your house that day, and when you asked me, I said it casually with a bald mouth, and then it was difficult for me to change my words. I really didn’t really want to lie to you!"
"Hmph! I'll write down the account for you first, and I'll settle it with you later!
But your wine is indeed very comfortable to drink. The jar you took last time, according to your instructions, we drank a small cup every dinner, and now we have finished it. I have to get a few more jars when I leave.
!"
When Duan Hongxuan heard this, his face fell, "Godmother, senior brother, each person can have two altars at most, any more will be gone!"
Seeing Director Wang glare again, Duan Hongxuan quickly explained: "Not only is it difficult to brew this wine, but it is also difficult to collect the ingredients!
Let’s put it this way! Not counting anything else, the cost of such a jar of wine alone is more than 500 yuan!
This is enough to say the least!"
"What!" Duan Hongxuan's words shocked everyone.
Duan Hongxuan looked at Mr. Wei with a bitter face and said: "Brother, you are also a master of traditional Chinese medicine. How do you feel after drinking this wine?
This wine is specially made for keeping fit and healthy.
It is no exaggeration to say that if you can drink a small cup every day, you can easily live to be a hundred years old without taking special care!
Tell me, how much is this wine worth?
If this were sold abroad, it would have to be sold at a sky-high price, and it would be exclusively for the top dignitaries and wealthy people!"
Everyone was immediately stunned and looked at Mr. Wei.
Mr. Wei picked up the wine glass in his hand and took a sip, then thought about it carefully.
After a long time, he slowly said: "This wine has really good health-preserving effects and has a very good effect of activating qi and blood!
Traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes that if qi and blood are strong and qi and blood are smooth, all diseases will not occur!
Alas! Junior brother, this wine of yours is so amazing that I don’t dare to have it. I’ll just have fun with you today!
Even if you ask me to buy it, I can’t afford it!”
"Brother, look what you said!
Although this wine is rare, I brewed it myself. No matter what, it’s okay to take out a few jars for my friends to enjoy!
I’ll get you two jars when I leave!”
"No, this is absolutely not possible!" Mr. Wei shook his head repeatedly.
When Director Wang saw it, he quickly came out to smooth things over, "Okay, let's not talk about it for now. We will talk about the wine later. Now, hurry up and eat!"
"Okay, hurry up and eat, I'm already hungry!"
"You are obviously greedy!"
……
Putting aside the topic of wine for the time being, everyone started eating.
However, everyone complained that they were hungry, but no one moved their chopsticks, and they all watched Duan Hongxuan pour the wine.
When Wei Daosheng saw it, he also came to help, opened another wine jar, and started pouring wine for everyone.
Suddenly, the aroma of wine filled the yard, and everyone sniffed greedily!
Except for Miao Miao, the daughter of Zhao Guowei, the boss of Director Wang’s family, and a few other children who were too young, everyone else had a cup!
Seeing that everyone could no longer wait, Mr. Wei stood up and raised his glass, said a few words briefly, and then announced that the banquet was open!
The wine and coriander are good, and everyone is hungry again. Everyone is satisfied with this meal!
A group of children under the age of 18, including Zhao Guoxing, finished one glass of wine and each wanted a second glass, but they were all suppressed by the adults!
Even so, there are quite a few adults today, and two jars of wine weigh a total of six kilograms. There is not enough to share among so many people.
Although I didn’t drink it to my liking, considering the value of this wine, no one was embarrassed to ask Duan Hongxuan to bring out a few more jars.
After the meal, both adults and children were slumped in their chairs, too lazy to move.
Director Wang looked at it and reprimanded him angrily: "Look at what you all look like. It seems like you have never eaten meat. Especially you, Zhao Guoxing, you are already a high school student. Seeing delicious food
, I don’t know how big my belly is, it’s like a starving ghost reincarnated!”
Zhao Guoxing is also aggrieved. I am not the only one who feels this way. Everyone does it. Why are you just talking about me?
But he only dared to think about this in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it out loud.
In the end, Director Wang had no choice but to ask everyone to put the dishes away in the kitchen, and everyone could rest for a while before washing the dishes.
After clearing the table and everyone was eating in the courtyard, Director Wang attacked Duan Hongxuan.
