Wu Li glanced at the ring. There were a group of ducks and red-crowned cranes inside as guests today. When they come out again in a few days, there should be a lot of wild birds left in the space.
The space has changed so much that I don’t have much time now. I’ll wait to find some free time and explore it slowly and carefully.
Wu Li poured a circle of caltrops around the wall. It was getting late. As soon as the water pipe was turned off, there was a whistle, and a horse straddled the back of the black horse king who was running towards him with empty steps. His legs
Once pinched, the black horse king trotted down the mountain with ease, followed by the sorrel filly, six humming little wild boars, two and a half-sized thin pigs, and one with two short legs.
Like a hot wheel, it chirps and jumps wildly like a little follower: a golden-billed yellow-haired pheasant.
This lucky guy likes to follow Wu Li pp everywhere. As long as Wu Li isn't going out to do errands, just let him follow him.
Wu Li's majestic appearance of riding a horse and herding pigs has been seen by everyone. After getting used to it, there is nothing to complain about.
As soon as he ran away, except for a few noisy little kids chasing a little wild boar with a smile, not many people really paid much attention to Wu Li riding a big horse through the village to transfer property.
Before reaching the yard, Wu Li saw a very familiar Land Rover parked in an open space in front of the yard.
Could it be that the God of Wealth is back? Quack, it looks like he might want to make a small fortune again.
Sure enough, as soon as Wu Li entered the yard, he saw Fan Tong drinking tea with an old man under the grape trellis where all the grapes had been picked.
Oh, I was a bit unprepared to say that.
It's the old man drinking tea, and Brother Fantong is eating watermelon with him
"Xiao Li, your big brother is here to eat again. Do you want to welcome him, welcome him, or give him a special welcome?"
"You've already said everything, how about I not welcome you? I'm such an uncle, and I'm not going to introduce you to Brother Fantong."
"My old man said that you have good wine and beautiful scenery, so I came here specially to eat and drink at your place. You kid can't say you are not welcome. That way you will lose a lot of face for our little brother."
All that's left is a skeleton."
"Well, you are the God of Wealth, so you should provide me with wine and meat."
"Hello, Grandpa Fan. I'll tell my sister-in-law and third aunt what you want to eat tonight, and I'll prepare it for you."
"Xiao Li, you don't need to be so polite. I'll eat whatever everyone eats. It's just that I have to put the wine in a jar and taste it." The old man spoke in a loud voice, and his silver hair was cut to a square inch and stood straight up.
Showed extra spirit.
With his rosy face, you can tell he is a man who has tested himself for alcohol. No wonder he opens his mouth to ask for a good drink.
"There is no good wine, but there is some home-brewed aged local shochu. If the old man doesn't mind if the local wine burns his throat, we can have a few bowls of it with him in the evening."
"When you say good wine, you have to drink it from a bowl. Xiaoli said that local wine is not local wine. What I call good wine is the old local shochu in your mouth. That's it. Let's have a good drink tonight.
It's still early for Dawan, and Xiaoli has to go ahead, so let's sit down and have a drink together in the evening."
"Old man, if you're happy, I'll go and get busy first."
"Brother Fantong, you are familiar with this place. If the old man needs something, you can just take it yourself."
"It doesn't matter what you say. Your horse is so powerful. Can I get on it and ride it?"
"These two horses have a fierce temper. If you are not afraid of being kicked away, you can try to get within one meter of them."
"What you said is so evil, I'm afraid. I'd better continue to eat our flower skin."
Wu Li fed the pigs, chickens and geese at home and the fish in the two ponds in the backyard. It was already completely dark.
The third uncle also came back with the men who repaired the house. As soon as everyone arrived, dinner was served.
"Xiao Li, this dish is pretty good. Does your family hire a craftsman to prepare the food every day?"
As soon as Mr. Fan came to the table, he couldn't help but sigh when he saw the so-called standard of eight dishes and one soup on the table.
There is nothing wrong with eight dishes: a small basin of braised pork, a small basin of stewed chicken, a small basin of stewed fish, and a basin of beer-cooked duck. Four portions of meat are enough.
There are also a lot of four ingredients: a small pot of spicy and sour Chinese cabbage, a large plate of water spinach with water and sauce, a large pot of five-spice cubes, and a large pot of eggplant drizzled with oil.
One soup is pretty normal, tender peas, shredded pork and red pine mushroom soup.
These dishes are all heavy-flavored, so the soup has to be light.
Today, Mr. Fan is a guest, so the third aunt and the eldest aunt discussed adding some stir-fried dishes to the table.
Stir-fried fungus, steamed egg with red pine mushrooms and green onions, fried eel segments, and stir-fried broccoli. These should be catered to the old man's appetite, both light and delicious.
The spicy shrimps, spicy crabs and fried triton are obviously prepared for the rice cook.
"Old man, come and sit down. They are all grown and raised at home. The portions are a little bigger, but they don't cost much." Wu Li asked Mr. Fan to sit down, and the dinner can begin.
"When there's big meat, there's good wine, so Xiao Li quickly served the wine." Mr. Fan is really a straight man, and he says whatever he thinks.
Wu Li opened a jar of old wine, and the smell of the overflowing wine made several guys swallow.
Good wine goes well with an alcoholic.
He filled up the wine for Mr. Fan, Third Uncle, Lao Yangtou, the eldest brother and the mute, and finally got a bowl for himself.
Brother Fan Tong, who had already drank glutinous rice wine and was eating spicy crabs, was naturally ignored by Wu Li. This guy was also a familiar guy. He could be classified directly into the category of sister-in-law and third aunt. Women will take good care of them.
of one's own mouth.
"This wine is good. I just want this taste. It suits my taste." Mr. Fan's comment was very simple, but it was these words that made Brother Fantong grin with joy.
"I told you, why should I lie to you, old man?"
"You little monkey kid, you rarely ignore me. Don't think I'm old and stupid. I just said it to you and turned a blind eye."
"Hey, it's all a matter of youth. Look, now that I've grown up, matured, and become a man, I can do things more reliably."
What Brother Fantong said almost made several people at the dinner table laugh.
"You little monkey are right what you said. Before I was twenty-eight, it was no big deal to call me young. If this had been the case when I was young, my son and daughter would have been making soy sauce and pulling pigweed. Look at you, you are almost thirty and you are so cool. Have a drink.
I drank the sweet wine that women drink, and I paid it back to the man. If I tell you, I will embarrass the old man and send my face to your grandma's house."
"Well, the age of today's society is generally more than twenty years higher than when you were young, so I am exactly the age of a young man, and I am preparing to move towards maturity and stability."
"If you listen to this flirt, you will go home and let your mother ask you to go on a blind date. It seems that there is no girl to tie you up, little monkey, so you won't be able to settle down."
"Old man, don't be so awesome in everything. If you had known it would be like this, you wouldn't have brought that wine back with you. I will continue to be a Xiaojiu brother all over the world."
"I'll ask someone to block all your cards and see what other cool tricks you can come up with."
"Old man, if you don't want to be angry with your old man, come and eat a piece of braised pork. It's delicious, smooth, crispy and not greasy. I guarantee that the old man will want to eat it again."
The old man smiled and accepted the chunk of plump and juicy sauce-flavored braised pork that Brother Fantong brought over. He also teased Brother Fantong: "Little monkey wants me to eat more fat. The whole three highs and so on."
, if you go early, no one will care about you."
"How is it possible that the old man can't eat it just because of his body and stuttering? Just feel free to eat the braised pork. Once you have eaten it, you will know that it is absolutely good."
The grandfather and grandson sang together, which added a lot of fun to the meal.
After a meal, if you eat too much greasy food, you will of course have to drink a few sips of hot tea to get rid of the greasy smell.
A few days ago, Master Zhao and his gang each took a big red envelope sent by Wu Li and left with a large bag of local specialties and other goods. The yard of Wu Li's family seemed more spacious and peaceful.
"Isn't your old house quite nice? There's a lot of construction going on outside. Are you planning to build a new house?"
"Old man, it's not that I want to build a new house, but now our little girls and daughters in the countryside all recognize the house but not the person. If the family cannot afford a house, they may not even be able to marry a wife."
"This is true. When we were young, we regarded city people as commodities, food, and cultural people, which is actually the same nature as today's following money, houses, and cars. Today is changing, and everyone's ideas have to follow."
"Society is like this, and people's hearts are like this. We are just fighting people. We can only adapt to this society. It is impossible for society to adapt to us farmers. Come on, old man, let's go one by one."
"Although these words are a bit negative, they are indeed reasonable. Come, drink tea." The old man took a sip of tea and smiled at Wu Li: "Actually, you have broken away from the peasant class and evolved into a landlord.
If you were at this level in the early years, you would have been beaten to the ground, and you would have been the target of thousands of poor and lower-middle peasants spitting on you."
"So, as times have changed, people's hearts have changed. In the past, the source of inequality between rich and poor was the extreme inequality of land ownership, which would inevitably lead to serious hatred of the rich. But in this era, even farmers are not
I am happy to do the work of digging in the soil. If it were not for the above-mentioned measures to reduce the burden on farmers, I am afraid that most of the fertile land will become wasteland, and it will only take a few years for farming to begin."
"I didn't expect that you, a small farmer, have a very high starting point when it comes to looking at problems. If you have any other opinions, tell me."
"Whatever, I just read what others said from the inside, and I wrote down what I felt. I don't have any ideas, but I have a lot of feelings. Master, you said, everything in this world now is centered around economic construction.
This is the trend, and of course we must keep up with it. But in the eyes of ordinary people and small farmers, this trend, to put it bluntly, is that everything is based on money. The general environment is already like this, and we, ordinary people, can just go with the flow.
Sailing against the current is a job reserved for thinkers with great determination and crazy minds."
"It is said that what is needed to govern a country and a family well is your kind of thinking. If it is easy to fool, then it is easy to manage. If you have any other feelings, please tell me."
"Old man, although today's society advocates freedom of speech, it is not beautiful to talk too much. Let's drink tea, talk about wine, and talk about romance."
The "little slick" old man laughed and laughed. Everything was right and he didn't waste any more words on it. The right way in the world is to drink tea.
