The old man's home was not far from the entrance of the village, so after arriving home, the old man immediately introduced his orchard to Li Wanfu and others.
"Have you seen those sugar cane, oranges, and grapefruits? I grew them for you to eat. Yesterday, Xiao Bu, Xiao Bu, and three of them had already eaten them. They all said they were delicious.
Xiao Bu, go into the kitchen, take out the hatchet, and chop the sugar cane for everyone to eat. Grandma Zeng will leave here with you in the future. If you don’t eat today, you won’t be able to eat in the future, hehehe...
"
After hearing what the old man said, Li Bu immediately went into the kitchen to take out the hatchet and chop the sugar cane.
Li Hong, Li Tian, Li You and the others went into the house and got a basket, and then started picking oranges, sweets, and grapefruits.
After picking these things, Li Bu and others did not eat them themselves. Instead, they gave some to the reporters who came over, as well as Li Zhaohai and his two neighbors, and Li Xiaomu and others, so that they could eat together.
While eating sugar cane, the old man took Li Wanfu and Li Bu to the two neighbors and said with a grateful smile, "Children, these two good neighbors have been taking care of me in the past few years.
, otherwise I might not be able to wait for you to come see me today."
"Thank you for your kindness. The Chinese New Year is coming soon. This is the New Year red envelope we sent to you in advance. No one should leave at noon today. Let's have a meal together, okay?" After hearing the old man's words, Li
Wan Fu and Li Wanda immediately went over and handed two red envelopes containing one million cash checks each to the male head of the family.
The male heads of the two neighboring households looked at each other and accepted the red envelope when they saw that it was not very big. Then he said with a look of sigh and nostalgia, "Speaking of gratitude, we actually have to thank the old lady.
When we were children, we accidentally drowned in the river. If the old lady hadn't jumped into the water and picked us up one by one, we wouldn't be here today.
Moreover, life was difficult for everyone in the past. At that time, the old lady was the only knowledgeable person in the whole village who knew how to make a living in the mountains.
At that time, we were led by an old lady and secretly planted fungus, mushrooms, yams, sweet potatoes, and ate bamboo shoots and wild vegetables in the mountains to tide us over.
So there is no such thing as gratitude between us. She helped us when we were young, so we help her when she is old. These are what we should do.
Moreover, our lives were saved by the old lady for us, so it doesn’t matter if we make something for the old lady, this is what we should do.
But we must eat your meal today, because we are happy today. We are happy to see that the old lady can find you family members. We are happy from the bottom of our hearts to see that the old lady has a place to go in the future and can have a family full of children and grandchildren.
So happy for her!!”
"Why do I remember things so clearly in the past? I can't even remember them clearly, but when you guys said it... I suddenly felt that time flew by so fast.
When I rescued you, you were just like our little Xiaobu and the others, ignorant little guys. In the blink of an eye, you are already in your fifties or sixties, and I have also grown older.
An old lady who has given birth to grandchildren.
Hahaha... Time is indeed not forgiving, I have almost forgotten what I was like when I was young." After hearing the words of the two neighbors, the old man also sighed, time is not forgiving.
Hearing the old man's sigh, Li Xiaowang immediately stepped forward under Li Bu's instigation and said with a smile: "Ancestor, you are not old yet. I am ten years old this year, and I will be able to get married and have children in ten years."
Oh, then you can watch your seventh generation."
"Seventh generation!!" Hearing Li Xiaowang's words, not only the neighbors of the two households were shocked, but even the reporters who followed were stunned at this moment.
The term "seventh generation" is really shocking to today's people, although it is no longer uncommon for centenarians or 120-year-olds to be present.
But the meeting of seven generations apart, let alone the five thousand years of Chinese history, is the only one in the world's records, if it succeeds.
And judging from the heights of Li Xiaowang and the other little guys, as well as the current state of the old man, it is not completely impossible for these seven generations to meet.
Different from the shock of the neighbors and reporters, the old man just gently hugged Li Xiaowang's shoulders and said with a kind smile: "Okay, my ancestors promise you that they will live until then, hahaha...
..”
"Grandma, what are our lunch arrangements? Should we all go out together in the car, or should we cook it at home?" It was already half past ten, so Li Bu, who had to prepare lunch, asked.
Here comes the old man's opinion.
After hearing Li Bu's words, the old lady looked at Li Wanfu and the others and asked, "We have prepared a lot of New Year's goods at home, and there is plenty of food. How about we cook at home for lunch?"
"Okay, what's wrong with this? Grandma Zeng, don't think we are rich now. In fact, our own banquets and other things have always been prepared at home.
And Grandma Zeng, your four little grandsons will be one month old in a few days, and you, the elder, will be the ones to take charge of this matter. Then let’s divide the work and start preparing lunch." He replied with a smile.
After the old man said a few words, Li Wanfu and the others began to divide their labors to get food.
The old man still had one pig, five chickens, and five ducks at this time. Li Wanfu and Li Wanda, together with Li Xiaomu and several other young people, took these to a river not far from the village for disposal.
.
Li Hong, Li Tian, and Li You borrowed two large pots from the neighbors in the old man's yard, and then started lighting a fire there to prepare the butchered vegetables.
The four women Liu Yan, Chunmei, Tian Chun, and Zhang Ming were not idle either. They went directly to the vegetable garden to pick vegetables and took the corn to the stone mill to grind it to make pancakes for lunch.
and stir-fry.
Li Bu, a professional chef, was not idle anymore. He took charge of the chef directly. He first processed the pig offal produced by Li Wanfu and others, and then processed the pig intestines, pork tripe, pig trotters, pig head meat, and large bones.
Li Bu used two large pots to stew all the duck and other meats.
In addition to braised meat, Li Bu also asked Li Chongyang, Li Zhaohai and others to help chop more than thirty pieces of pork. Then he first made more than ten kilograms of steamed pork rolls with shrimps, water chestnuts, eggs, and tofu skin, and then used the remaining
More than 20 kilograms of meat were used to make meatballs.
In this way, Li Bu and his family were busy for more than an hour, and then the five banquet tables came out, and each table was filled with delicious, delicious and tempting food.
And each table was filled with twelve dishes, a bowl of soy sauce big bones, a bowl of meatball soup, a stack of pork intestines with sauerkraut, a stack of pork head with garlic sprouts, a stack of fried meat rolls, and a plate of braised pork ribs. , a stack of fried lean pork liver, a plate of white-chopped chicken, a plate of braised duck, a plate of corn pancakes, a plate of fried pig tongue with snow peas, an indispensable dish for the Cantonese dinner table... stir-fried green vegetables.
The meal Li Bu and his family had was a very ordinary farm banquet, but the two neighbors who came to participate, as well as the reporters who were invited to sit down, were all moved by the thoughtfulness of Li Bu and his family.
One has a net worth of billions, several have a net worth of tens of millions, and several have a net worth of several million. They personally cook for them to eat. Who can not be moved by eating such a meal?
What's more, the food they cook is particularly delicious, with a unique old-fashioned flavor and the top-notch taste of gourmet food...
