  Chapter 24 One Family Doing Business, The Whole Village Celebrates the New Year

  Raising his hand to wipe his eyes, Liu Qingshan said sincerely: "I am young, but I also remember an old saying, I would rather lose a handful of gold than lose my old folks."

   "Right now, my elder sister's wedding is just the occasion to invite the folks to gather here. I would like to thank everyone in advance!"

  Liu Qingshan bowed deeply. This is just to express his gratitude to the simple folks with words. From then on, he will use actions to lead the folks together to get rid of the shackles of poverty and embark on the road of prosperity.

   "Qing Shan, good boy!"

  Zhang Guofu patted Liu Qingshan on the shoulder vigorously, and at the moment he was very pleased: This family is kind and knows how to be grateful.

  Da Zhang Luo also blinked his little red eyes: "Okay, Qingshan, I will do as you said, don't worry, I will definitely give you a beautiful Zhang Luo!"

   After speaking, he began to assign tasks just like Zhuge Kongming who was sitting firmly in the big tent.

  Students like Er Biaozi, the big head, go to various houses to borrow tables, chairs, benches, bowls, chopsticks, and pans.

  Adult men also perform their own duties: cook fire, carry water and drink.

   "Da Zhang Luo, what do you think I am doing?"

   Zhang Ganzi waited for a long time, but nothing happened to him, so he was a little anxious.

   "It's hard for you, you can't do anything, you can't eat anything."

  Da Zhang Luo smacked his lips for a long time: "You are responsible for washing the dishes, remember, if you break a bowl or break a plate, you will not want to drink wedding wine!"

  The assignment was quickly completed, everyone took the order, and they all dispersed with a huff.

   Only a pole was left to lean against the wall, sitting there dazed and babbling.

  Washing dishes is dirty and tiring, and it's still a job for girls.

  When everyone came back one after another, they saw Liu Caifeng poking out her little head from the window, shaking the braid on her head mischievously, and then clicked on the tape recorder a few times.

  In the tape recorder, there was a rustling sound, and then there was the sound of Da Zhang Luo sending troops to order generals.

   Everyone was also curious about it, and they all gathered around and listened happily.

   From the tape recorder, another lazily beeping voice sounded like Zhang Ganzi's tone:

   "Tell me to clean the dishes, bah, when the time comes, I will spit on you all, and tell you to eat, eat, eat, eat my saliva!"

  …

  In the yard, Zhang Ganzi's hands and feet were grabbed by four stick guys, and his whole body was suspended in the air.

  Then, the four of them yelled a chant, and they fell down with all their strength.

   Zhang Ganzi's **** landed heavily.

   "Hey, all heroes, grandpas, have mercy!"

   Zhang Ganzi immediately gave up. If he kept going like this, his **** would have to be broken into eight petals.

   After finally having this kind of entertainment, how could they stop so easily? Amidst the booing of the spectators, the four young men raised the pole again, and then continued to fall down.

   "I'm just muttering, but I don't dare to really spit."

   Zhang Ganzi kept begging for mercy, but was let go after being bumped seven or eight times. When he got up, he felt as if his **** didn't belong to him anymore.

  Da Zhang Luo spoke again: "Gao Zi, you'd better be a fire girl."

  While rubbing his butt, Zhang Ganzi grinned and argued: "I'm a man, a pure man."

   During the fighting, the preparatory work was done. The borrowed tables, chairs and benches were all written with chalk on the back of each family's name and surname, and it would be convenient to return them at that time.

   There is nothing you can do about chopsticks and the like. When you return them, just have enough.

  At noon, Liu Qingshan was still busy eating, and as a result, people went back to their homes in groups of three and two.

  No one has much surplus food, and they are not really big eaters.

   After a long time in the evening, the big carriage that went to the county to buy food finally came back.

  The driver was a little old man in his fifties, with a smiling face, always cheerful.

  When he opened his mouth for joy, one of the upper front teeth was still missing, revealing a big opening, which added a bit of joy.

  Liu Qingshan walked up to greet him quickly: "Uncle Boss, thank you for your hard work!"

   "What's the hard work, I went out to the restaurant at noon."

The driver is also a capable person from Jiapigou. Most of the villagers have the surname Zhang. This former owner of the production team has been the owner of the car. In the past two years, I heard that it is popular to call other people the boss in the south, so I also called him. Boss Zhang.

  Boss and boss, the words are similar, but the meaning is too different: one is doing big business, and the other is driving a big cart.

  Liu Yinfeng also got out of the carriage, and gave Liu Qingshan the canvas bag that she had been holding tightly in her arms, and whispered in her younger brother's ear: "Sanfenger, it cost a lot of money!"

   Actually, it didn’t cost much, less than 200 yuan. Two hundred yuan, invite more than one hundred people in the village to have dinner, tsk tsk...

  The most eye-catching thing is a leg of pork, eighty-five cents a catty, less than fifty yuan.

  When I was buying meat, there happened to be a big pig’s head, a pair of pig’s offal, heart, liver, lungs, intestines, etc., and I bought it all for twenty-five cents a catty. Anyway, it’s meaty, isn’t it?

There is also a bag of flour, dried tofu, and vermicelli, and the rest are condiments such as tobacco, alcohol, sugar, tea, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, pepper, and aniseed pepper. As for vegetables, I have everything in my house, so I don’t need to spend money on them .

  Liu Qingshan knew that the second sister was used to living a poor life, and she was afraid of spending money, so she smiled at her: "Sister, you are not good at heart, you must first learn to spend money before you can learn to make money."

   As a result, Liu Yinfeng gave her a supercilious look.

  Liu Qingshan murmured secretly: I have to say, my second sister was born beautiful, and she can roll her eyes so amazingly, if she goes to college, she won't be able to turn her head over.

   No, no, no, you have to look after it in the future!

   Everyone worked together, unloading everything on the carriage, even stretching the pole, regardless of the oiliness, happily carrying the pig into the water, yelling, "It's too rich, this is too rich!"

  Chef Zhang Dashuai, who went shopping in the city with him, couldn't help teasing him: "Mom, be careful with the pole, don't drip your saliva on it."

   "Don't dare, don't dare, don't dare!"

   Zhang Ganzi now feels pain in his **** whenever he hears the word "saliva".

  The people next to him told Boss Zhang and Dashuai Zhang what happened during the day, which naturally caused a burst of laughter.

  Dashuai Zhang also shook his bald head: "Pool, you are the most worrying person in our village."

  Zhang Ganzi was quite content, and said disapprovingly: "It's good, it's good, my brother is alone, one person is full, and the whole family is not hungry."

   After carrying things, go into the house to drink tea. Rural people are not so particular. They usually drink cold water. When they are thirsty, they pick up a water ladle, scoop half a ladle of water in the water tank, and gulp it down.

  In winter, we only boil some hot water for drinking. As for tea, who would be willing to buy tea with spare money?

  Liu Qingshan poured tea for everyone with rice bowls, and then sat down to discuss with Zhang Dashuai: "Uncle Shuai, what dishes will you arrange for tomorrow?"

  This Marshal Zhang, his nickname sounds very domineering, a bit like the Northeast King in the past, but, the Northeast King is in charge of thousands of troops, and this one is in charge of pots and pans.

  He is the chef in the village. Whoever organizes weddings and weddings likes to ask him to be the cook.

  The craftsmanship is not very good, and it can’t be considered elegant. At most, it can be regarded as having a strong local flavor. Let’s open a characteristic farmhouse in the future.

   As for the origin of the nickname, it is a bit unverifiable. According to Liu Qingshan's speculation, it is probably because of this handsome uncle, who is also relatively short in stature, and he often likes to say "Mom".

   Regarding tomorrow's banquet, Zhang Dashuai had already known it in his mind. He wiped his shiny bald head: "Six cold and six hot, twelve dishes, exactly six or six smooth."

After finishing speaking, he took a sip of tea, smacked his lips comfortably, and glanced at the pole: "Tomorrow, the amount of food will be larger, like this kind of foodie, one is worth three, motherfucker, less is not enough for them to hug of it."

   This catchphrase, it is said, is also what the real Marshal Zhang often talks about.

  At that time, in rural areas, banquets were held with eight pairs of eight and six pairs of six. If you can make it perfect, ten hot dishes and ten cold dishes, then it will be perfect.

   But with the current conditions, that is, think about it.

  After the general principle is determined, the preparations begin. In the local villages, this is usually called "going oil". The general idea is to fry all the food that needs to be fried the first night.

  In the yard, a big bright light bulb was picked, a pot table was set up, an oil pan was set up, and a pole was sitting on a small bench, adding firewood to the stove pit.

   Almost all the little ones in the village came here smelling the smell of oil, and the yard couldn’t be crowded, and a large group stood outside the gate, looking eagerly at the big oil pan.

   Then he watched Dashuai Zhang intently start frying glutinous rice noodles, croquettes, and fried beans.

  In the yard, there was a sound of swallowing saliva one after another.

  Seeing this, Liu Qingshan picked up a bowl of fried glutinous rice noodles: "Come here, let's grab a handful each!"

   Gaba, Gaba, the glutinous rice strips are crispy and crispy, and covered with a layer of sugar, it tastes delicious and sweet when eaten.

   "It smells so good!"

  The children all admired in unison.

"Wow!"

  Crying suddenly sounded, Liu Qingshan hurried over to check, it turned out to be the old daughter of Captain Zhang's family, named Xiaoliuzi, and the glutinous rice sticks in her hand were snatched by the big yellow dog of Liu Qingshan's family.

  Rhubarb dogs are very skillful at stealing food. They don’t bite or bark. The bird quietly follows you, and when you’re cold, it bites lightly and takes away the food in your hand without anyone biting you.

   "Don't cry, Xiao Liu, I'll give you meatballs."

  The fourth child, Liu Caifeng, gave meatballs to her friends one by one. Although they are vegetarian meatballs, food with oil and water is delicious these days, especially meatballs, which are the children's favorite.

  When I was sitting at the table, the meatballs and the like were served, and the little boy immediately grabbed them all.

  The little boy who has a lot of thoughts, eats one batch, and sits on the table again when the next batch is opened, and leaves the table after grabbing the meatballs.

  At this moment, the children all eat their mouths greasy, and go home to sleep contentedly, waiting for a big meal tomorrow.

   In the past, the children who ran wild outside would basically get stuck on the pillows, but today it was strange, they tossed and baked the sesame seed cakes, why didn't they feel sleepy, there were always round **** wandering around in their heads.

   These days, throughout the year, you can’t eat good food a few times, can you not look forward to it?

  The adults who had been busy for half the night were also hungry, so they simply cleaned up two tables and drank some wine to relieve fatigue.

   "Everyone eat more, you've been tired all day."

  Lin Zhi wore an apron and greeted guests. She didn't know whether it was because she was happy or because she was busy. Her face was flushed, not as pale as before.

  Da Zhang Luo took a sip of his wine and exclaimed: "Big sister, your old Liu family's happy event is open and bright."

  Dashuai Zhang nodded again and again: "This is true, one family handles affairs, and the whole village follows the New Year."

  Lin Zhi also had a happy face: "Why don't you help me?"

  Liu Qingshan also came over to toast a glass of wine, and he was able to chat with everyone for a few words, talking about the kindness everyone gave to the Liu family in the past, which always warmed the other party's heart.

   When it was time to toast Zhang Ganzi, this guy had already drunk himself down, so he didn't need to bother others at all.

  At the wine table, after the procedure of tomorrow's wedding was finalized, everyone dispersed, and Liu Qingshan's family had a bite to eat.

  Liu Qingshan picked up a ball and threw it into his mouth, um, it’s really weird, why is the food so delicious at this time?

  Grandpa and grandma are getting old, so they go back to the house to rest after a simple meal. After all, we have to toss tomorrow.

  However, for such a happy event, the old couple were all smiling and didn't feel tired at all.

  Second sister Liu Yinfeng took a bite of rice sticks, and then said to Liu Qingshan in English: "Brother, how do you say this in English?"

  These days, the dialogue between the siblings is deliberately in English, mainly to exercise Liu Yinfeng's oral expression ability.

  Although he speaks slowly and his pronunciation is not quite standard, he can still open his mouth.

   Now, even Liu Qingshan was stumped, blinked, and then could only shake his head and say, "I understand!"

   "Sanfeng, it turns out that you can't do it either."

  Liu Yinfeng raised the corners of her mouth, smiling really nicely.

  Liu Qingshan was a little depressed, and hummed twice: "It's not that you got married, why are you so happy."

   This was a disaster, the sisters Liu Jinfeng and Liu Yinfeng both stood up, one on the left and one on the right, each pinching one of his ears.

  Little fourth Liu Caifeng slapped her hands and shouted: "Eldest sister and second sister, please forgive my brother. If you want to eat ears, there are big ears on the pig's head."
