Age of Dreams

Vol 2 Chapter 2698: Wind banquet

Pei Mingfang wiped away tears of joy, greeted four female bodyguards to help, found a few boxes on the caravan that had already arrived home, and forced them to Uncle Wei.

Uncle Wei and a group of men who came to help looked at the text and icons on the box, and immediately breathed tightly.

The brand new unopened boxes, two boxes are Wuliangye, and three boxes are Zhonghua Tobacco.

Second Uncle Wei estimated it a bit, if it is true, at least 20,000 to 30,000, right?

"Uncle Wei, you have worked so hard today." Pei Mingfang said, "Here is a little bit of care. Let's go back and divide it!"

"This... how did this make it?" When Wei Ershu refused with a dry smile, the younger men next to him had already taken the box in their hands, with excitement on their faces.

"It's nothing, when a few skies have passed, you come to my house for dinner again!" Pei Mingfang said with a smile.

"Okay, thank you, Mingfang!" Second Uncle Wei smiled and said to Pei Bo: "Seven brother, you really have a good daughter. In our villages, she is the most promising. !"

What do old people like to listen to?

Isn’t it just the greeting words of the neighbors?

Pei Bai and Bai Dezhen laughed from ear to ear when they heard the words, and they were all red when they returned home.

Come with Pei Bai and others, there are some relatives and old neighbors around, but they didn’t go to Pei’s house when they walked back. It was the third sister, Pei Mingfen, who said a few words to her younger sister, and Pei Mingfang came to his senses. , Hurriedly greeted the bodyguards and gave some of the gifts that had been prepared a long time ago. Naturally, relatives and neighbors were praised and complimented again.

The Pei’s house is a typical rural tiled structure. There are five houses in a courtyard, the kitchen is outside, and there is a dam.

An electric light was pulled up in the middle of the dam. With a lively six-table banquet, Xiao Qi came to understand why the relatives and neighbors had left. The original Pei’s family didn't expect so many people to come back. The prepared banquet is not enough, so I can only wrong my relatives and neighbors.

The Pei family has two sons and two daughters. Except for Pei Mingfang, who married out, the rest are living in the village, but they are all separated and have their own houses.

But when they got together like this, there were seventeen or eight people in their own family, plus the twenty or thirty people on Xiao Qi's side, and the five tables were still full.

If you count relatives and neighbors, this cold dish would be easy to make. But hot dishes and steamed dishes can't be changed, so Pei's family can only apologize to ask them to come back tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. Anyway, the girl Rong returned to her hometown, and it was nothing to open the water table for a few days.

Originally the old lady Bai Dezhen was not so generous, but just now I saw the three carts full of gifts and escorted them home. They were all expensive goods, and I heard that half of them were on the road, so she immediately got rich.

Although her daughter had sent out a few large boxes of good cigarettes and wine, Bai Dezhen didn't say anything when she saw that there were 20 or 30 boxes of tobacco and wine here.

The family sits at the dinner table. All the way down, waiting for a day, everyone is hungry. After Pei Bai said a few scenes, the lively scene at the banquet began.

The eldest uncle, the second uncle, and the third aunt have not seen their sister for many years. They even made a noise when they brought them on the wine table. Jia Jiandong was filled with several glasses of wine without knowing why.

Over there, the old man and old grandma looked at their brothers and sisters with a smile, and even started talking loudly after taking two sips of wine with them.

Xiao Qi was sitting at this table of the juniors, because he and Jia Yuwen were dressed differently from their cousins ​​and cousins. They hadn't seen each other for several years, so naturally they were a little apart.

In addition, Jia Yuwen was still holding Xiao Kaixin, who had already woken up, in her arms. The daughter's round eyes looked around, causing several young people to look at her.

The age of marriage in the countryside is very early. Many girls conceive and give birth at the age of seventeen or eighteen, and then complete the procedures a few years later. These are all very common things.

Jia Yuwen's two cousins ​​and one cousin both have children, and cousin Pei Xiuxiu is more than 5 years old, and she is only one year older than Jia Yuwen.

"I don't know how to drink. The liquor content at home is too high. I can only drink this half of the glass today, otherwise I won't be able to chat with everyone later!" Xiao Qi raised the glass and said, "Come on, this is the first time for me. Back to Xiaoyu’s family, then this is my home. From now on, don’t see outsiders, don’t be polite, it’s all a family!"

"Yes, brother-in-law said that well!" Big cousin Pei Daoyue laughed and raised his glass.

Other relatives of the same age who were of the same age mostly had the expressions of their big cousins, and only a few younger cousins ​​at the table next to them focused their attention on the big fish on the table.

Today’s years are no longer the time when there was not enough food a few decades ago, but in the poverty-stricken mountains, people don’t live very well on weekdays, like chickens, ducks and fish like today. The big dishes are all available, but at least they can only be eaten during the holidays.

The older and younger generations, of course, can't just see the food and drink during the holidays. After they get married and start a business, they see more and more comprehensive aspects, and the more they need to consider.

The gift of a few cars not only stunned the adults, but they also went to school and received foreign fashion information from time to time. After just watching a dozen things, they found that this is a famous brand advertised on TV. , The price is definitely not cheap.

Forget it, returning to my hometown for the New Year is to buy expensive things. Many people will do this even if they spend their money. It is not impossible for the aunt's family to buy so many things.

But the male and female bodyguards sitting at three tables next to them, and a few middle-aged Japanese women who obviously speak foreign languages, are said to be the babysitters of Xiaowen’s family. This suddenly improved the image of Jia Yuwen in their minds. Several grades.

What a joke, one babysitter is from a wealthy family, and four babysitters are only available to former landlords, not to mention that they hired Japanese babysitters, and there are still a few resting at home!

This is not something a simple rich family can have!

With the family background of my aunt, I heard that it was very difficult a few years ago, and my aunt is just an ordinary worker. How could it be so developed all at once?

Then there is only one possibility that Xiao Wen married well, and her husband is from a super-rich family!

After everyone has reached such a consensus, even the elders have to look at Xiao Qi and Jia Yuwen differently, let alone their juniors. It is only reasonable for them to be somewhat humble to please.

In such an atmosphere, it is true that the older generation is busy, but the atmosphere at Xiao Qi's table is not lively, and it is still a bit restrained.

Xiao Qi naturally understood what was going on, but didn't deliberately force it. As he said before, they were all a family and didn't care about such a moment of estrangement.

It's just that he obviously talked a bit more, chatting with this group of cousins ​​about the length of the family, talking about some new things that happened in foreign countries, which made them listen with gusto.

Jia Yuwen was originally a relatively quiet girl. In this case, she knew that the cousin and cousin at this table were a little inferior, but she didn't know how to dispel their sense of strangeness. Now watching her husband talk and laugh, they make them from time to time. He laughed, and my heart was suddenly sweet.

Xiao Qi was eating while talking.

As a native of Shuchuan, Xiao Qi couldn't eat spicy food, but he had a soft spot for fatty food.

When he was in the United States in his previous life, if he was bored in his dormitory apartment, he would often make his own braised pig's knuckles to eat, and it was the kind of pig's knuckles with fat. It was nothing to eat a three to five kilograms of pig's knuckles. pressure.

Adding twice-cooked pork is also one of Xiao Qi's best dishes. After a second-cooked pork is fried, it is directly put in the rice, and the greasy rice also feels fragrant.

So when he is at the table today, what he likes most is to stretch out his chopsticks to pick up some fatty twice-cooked pork.

"Well, the pork at home is delicious!" After eating a few more bites, Xiao Qi couldn't help but exclaimed, "Just the smell of lard is definitely not an ordinary domestic pig! This pig breed should be different. Right?"

"Hehe, brother-in-law, you really know how to eat!" Pei Xiuxiu said with a smile, "This pig is our authentic Xiangxi black pig, and it is an old breed that has been passed down hundreds of years ago. It is completely different from the pork on the market today. !"

"What I said, the taste and fineness of this fatty meat are different from the wild boars I usually eat." Xiao Qi said, "It turns out to be the legendary Xiangxi black pig!"

Xiao Qi likes to eat twice-cooked pork~www.wuxiaspot.com~ has studied pork.

For example, most of the pork currently on the market in Shuchuan is bred from Canadian white pig breeds. This white pig can soar to 300 jin in 180 days and can eat anything. It is most suitable for breeding and selling for money, so everyone All come to breed this kind of pig.

The real native pigs, which are native to Shuchuan, are basically only released for slaughter in 10 months, and the maximum is more than 200 catties, which is much worse than Canadian white pigs. Therefore, even farmers are unwilling to raise them if they eat their own pork. Growing soil pigs.

Therefore, if you eat twice-cooked pork now, you have to add more oil and stir-fry, so that you can barely fry the twice-cooked pork, unlike before, when the pan is heated, just put the half-fat and lean meat down and fry it.

The twice-cooked pork at that time can still produce a lot of oil, which is enough for the next stir-frying.

And the fried pork with oil is completely different from the oily fried pork itself. The authentic foodie will know it as soon as you eat it.

At present, the twice-cooked pork in the restaurant is mostly seasoned with tempeh, bean paste, and MSG. In Xiao Qi's view, it is not as fragrant as the two-cooked pork fried with the simplest salt. (To be continued.)
