Rebirth in '82: The Foolish Village Guardian's Mountain Life

Every village would have one or two "village guardians." They were often simple-minded and foolish, yet kind-hearted.

The older generation often said that village guardians came to th...

Chapter 498: Enough Food and Drink

Chen Wang was going to make some lamb stewed with potatoes, some wild boar meat fried with chili peppers, and some lamb offal soup.

Just stir-fry some pea tips as vegetables.

The portions of dishes are usually larger, especially for meat dishes. Try to put more meat so that everyone can eat their fill.

In addition to rice as the staple food, Chen Wang also cooked a pot of noodles and let the workers choose for themselves.

It's already past twelve o'clock.

Chen Wang had already moved the eight-immortals table to the yard and the food was on the table.

Chen Dazhuang came over just now, and Chen Wang asked him to go to the fields and help call people to come for dinner.

The mutton offal soup that was finally served was put into a stainless steel bucket and placed directly on the ground.

The dishes on the table, such as stewed lamb with potatoes, stir-fried wild boar meat with peppers, and stir-fried pea tips, are all served directly in bowls.

Two enamel pots were even used to stew the lamb and potatoes. The lamb was stewed until it was soft and tasty. The red oil in the soup base was translucent, and you could clearly see the large chunks of lamb.

Rice and noodles were also packed in stainless steel buckets and placed on the ground together with the mutton offal soup.

Lin Xiuqin came over with a pile of bowls and chopsticks and placed them on the table.

“It smells so good!”

The little girl stood in front of the table, staring at the food and swallowing her saliva.

The little monkey and the little fox are standing on a bench.

The three dogs were all around the little girl, sticking out their tongues, wagging their tails, and drooling all over the floor.

"Look at how impatient you are. Wait a moment."

Chen Wang said with a smile.

"Brother, can I have a bowl of soup first?"

The little girl blinked her big eyes and looked at him expectantly.

Chen Wang rolled his eyes, but still took a bowl and made her a bowl of mutton soup with a lot of ingredients and put it on the table.

"Drink slowly, be careful of the heat."

"Yeah, thanks bro, you're the best."

The little girl thanked him happily and couldn't wait to blow on the mutton offal soup in the bowl to cool it down quickly.

"Wife, would you like to drink a bowl first?"

Chen Wang looked at Lin Xiuqin inquiringly.

Lin Xiuqin shook her head with a smile, pointed outside, and signaled herself and others to come and eat together.

Just then, Lao Qian's voice came from outside.

"Awang, the wine is here."

"Okay, I'll help."

Chen Wang hurried over to meet him.

On his way back from the town, Chen Wang stopped at the entrance of the village, went into the store to find Lao Qian, and asked him to bring over two cases of beer and a barrel of good bulk liquor.

I didn't give everyone drinks at noon in the past few days because I was afraid it would delay our work in the afternoon.

Today, in addition to ensuring that everyone had enough food to eat, we also made sure that everyone drank the wine to their heart's content.

"It smells so good, is it stewed lamb?"

Old Qian carried the wine into the yard and looked at the eight-immortals table with surprise.

"A dog's nose isn't as sharp as yours!"

Chen Wang joked with amusement.

"roll!"

Old Qian glared at him unhappily and said with emotion: "You are such a bad boss... I want to work in the fields for you. Next time you have such a good thing, you must call me."

"Come on, touch your belly. How long has it been since you last worked in the fields?"

Chen Wang complained with a look of disgust.

"No, I'm just getting fat in middle age. Don't underestimate me. Look at me carrying these beers. I can carry two by myself with ease."

"Then why did you call me?"

"Um... isn't there a bucket of white?"

"hehe!"

The two men came to the eight-immortals table and put down the wine in their hands. Old Qian looked at the little girl who was drinking soup with a look of enjoyment on her face, and then looked at the two pots of potatoes stewed with mutton on the table.

"This stewed meat is so delicious. Is there also mutton offal soup?"

"Alright, alright, stop hinting at me. I was planning on having you stay to eat with me anyway."

Chen Wang couldn't help but said something while laughing.

Since I borrowed Lao Qian's cart before, it's only right that I treat him to a meal while I'm at it.

Old Qian's eyes lit up, he looked at him with a sharp gaze, and said with a chuckle: "You are still a righteous boy, I will give you a 20% discount on this wine."

"That's more like it."

Chen Wang smiled and nodded.

"When will the people arrive?"

Old Qian glanced in the direction of the mansion's gate and smelled the fragrance, feeling hungry.

"It's almost time. What? Do you want to be like a kid and start eating before anyone else arrives?"

Chen Wang joked with a smile.

The little girl looked up at Old Qian and said with a smile, "Uncle Qian, this mutton offal soup is so delicious."

"Damn it, Xiaoyu, you've become a bad person. How could you be so greedy for me?"

Lao Qian complained in pretended anger.

“Hehe…”

The little girl laughed like a hen laying eggs.

After a few minutes, Chen Dazhuang came into the yard with a group of workers, chatting and laughing. Yan Yulan and her master Chen Jianjun were also there.

"Fuck, it smells so good!"

"It smells like mutton. It's so delicious!"

"I heard that the boss went into the mountains and hunted a few sheep, and he really stewed some mutton for us!"

"Gulu... I haven't eaten mutton for several years. I'm in for a treat today."

"I want to eat three bowls, no, four bowls of rice."

"Are you a pig? Pigs can't eat as much as you."

"Hahaha……"

"Uncle Yang, have you finished the work in the fields?"

Chen Wang asked Yang Heping with a smile.

Yang Heping smiled and nodded, "It's all done. You can go take a look later. If you find anything wrong, I'll call someone to help you correct it."

"Well, I'll go take a look this afternoon."

Chen Wang nodded, looked at everyone and said, "Everyone, wash your hands and we can have dinner. We have prepared wine today. Everyone, eat and drink well. After dinner, I will pay everyone's wages. You have worked hard these past few days."

"Oh... there's still wine. What a generous boss!"

"That's great, boss. It's not hard at all. Come to us for work next time!"

"Yes, yes, yes. As long as I have the food, I don't need to be paid."

"Don't be ridiculous. I've never heard of anyone voluntarily not wanting to be paid. If the boss really didn't pay you, you would have complained if you dared to do that for a day or two."

"How could it be? It's impossible!"

"Stop talking nonsense, wash your hands and eat."

Everyone rushed to the well, washed their hands, and then came to the dining table.

"Oh my God, boss, how much meat did you stew?"

The toothless old man asked in shock.

"I have to get 20 kilograms."

Chen Wang smiled, pointed to the stainless steel bucket on the ground next to him, and said to everyone: "Here are rice and noodles, and a bucket of mutton soup. Everyone can have a bowl of soup first."

"Offal soup? Great, my favorite."

"Let me have a bowl first."

"Boss, it's so comfortable to work for you."

"I'll drink the soup after I finish it. Let me have a bottle of beer first. Awang, can I have it?"

Yang Xuewu pointed to the two bottles of beer on the ground.

"Take it, take it yourself, everyone is welcome to help themselves, there is plenty of food and wine today, everyone should eat and drink their fill!"

Chen Wang said loudly.

“Oh…”

Everyone cheered in unison.

Without saying a word, Lao Qian took the bowl and chopsticks and made a small bowl of stewed lamb with potatoes. He couldn't wait to taste a piece of meat.

"Mmm, this meat smells so good!"
