But one day at dinner, I noticed that the vegetables on the table didn't taste right, so I asked the housekeeper if the cook had been changed.
The housekeeper replied: "The food on the farm has been eaten."
Mr. Huo realized that something was wrong.
As the sky grew darker , the bonfire on the grass burned brighter.
A barbecue stall was also set up.
In addition to barbecue, there is also roasted whole lamb, fried rice and hot dishes prepared by the chefs, which are brought out from the cafeteria.
Wen Xiong and Mrs. Wen finished dinner early and left the space to the young people.
Xu Fuqiang and Wang Yanmei were also watching from the side. They were still used to having dinner at night. After finishing the main course, they tried a few bites of the barbecue and left.
The whole lamb was slow-roasted for an entire afternoon, the skin was roasted golden brown and sprinkled with spices.
Chefs Aben and Jiang Xiao lifted the roasted whole lamb and used a sharp knife to slice the tender and charred lamb.
The first one was for Ningning.
Xu Qingzhi specially took a small bowl, cut the sliced meat into smaller pieces, and fed them to Ningning.
Afraid of being too hot, she asked Ningning to hold her breath twice before eating.
The little kid puffed up his cheeks and snorted several times, unable to resist getting closer to the meat: "Second Aunt, this meat is so delicious, Ningning, can I have it?"
"Okay, but be careful not to burn your mouth." Xu Qingzhi reminded.
Ningning couldn't wait to eat the mutton. "It's not hot, Second Aunt, it's good. Ningning wants more. Ningning wants to eat such a big bowl."
She gestured with her hand, showing a bowl that was bigger than her belly.
Xu Qingzhi laughed and replied, "Okay."
Huo Fengyan said: "Your little stomach can't hold such a big bowl."
Ning Ning clenched her fists while chewing mutton, her eyes full of unwillingness to admit defeat: "Uncle, Ning Ning can eat more!"
She was so anxious that even her pronunciation became standard! Xu Qingzhi was afraid that the child would cry, so she didn't let Huo Fengyan tease her.
Cut the roasted whole lamb into pieces and divide them into portions.
Xia Weiwei got a lamb chop but didn't eat it. She came over and fed it to Xu Qingzhi: "Qingzhi, open your mouth."
Xu Qingzhi opened his mouth obediently and tasted it, "This mutton smells so good."
Huo Fengze also came over with a lamb chop in his hand and stretched out his hand: "Come on, brother, open your mouth."
Huo Fengyan ignored him.
Huo Fengze started eating by himself, "This mutton tastes really good, there is no mutton smell at all."
Jiang Zhan squeezed over and asked, "Qingzhi, are you selling this mutton?"
Xu Qingzhi: "We don't have many, and it's too troublesome to sell them to customers. For now, we'll only provide them to tourists who come to the resort. We'll see how things go later."
Jiang Zhan knew what Qingzhi meant. There was no hope for Yangrou to cooperate with his boutique supermarket, so he tactfully stopped mentioning it.
Everyone sat around the fire and played a few small games. Jiang Zhan had some temporary work to take care of, and Wen Siran's leg had just healed and he needed to rest, so he went back to sleep.
I can sleep at this time, but I haven't been to the farm for a long time, so I'm always a little too excited on the first night.
Huo Ying suggested playing Werewolf.
Ever since she failed miserably in playing Werewolf last time, she has fallen in love with this game.
"Qingzhi, can you play?"
Xu Qingzhi shook his head: "No."
Huo Ying was extremely excited, and felt a sense of accomplishment in teaching her. "Then I'll explain the rules. There are ten of us, so we'll play the simplest nine-player beginner board."
The group moved indoors to play Werewolf.
The large solid wood table in the cafeteria is just right for five people to sit on one side and four people on the other side.
Because there were no cards, I temporarily used playing cards as a substitute and wrote the identity card on them with a water-based pen.
Most of the people present knew how to play it, except Xu Qingzhi and Huo Fengyan, who knew nothing about it.
Huo Ying began to give a brief introduction: "Among the nine people, there are three werewolves. The werewolves can kill one person every night. If they kill civilians or gods, they win. There is a prophet who can check a person's identity every night to see if he is a good person or a bad person. There is a witch who has a bottle of antidote and poison. As the name suggests, the antidote can save people and the poison can poison people. You can choose to save or not, poison or not, but you can't use them at the same time. There is a hunter who can choose to shoot and take away one person after leaving. If he is poisoned by the witch at night, he cannot shoot. There are three civilians. And the good guys find three werewolves to vote, and the good camp wins."
Xu Qingzhi nodded after hearing this, still digesting it.
Zhou An said: "Just try it and you will know."
Huo Jin accompanied Huo Ying in many offline games of Werewolf. He originally knew only a little about it, but now he is a completely literate player and he has a God's vision.
After the identity cards are shuffled, they are placed on the table and everyone draws their own card.
Huo Jin: "Players, please confirm your identities."
No. 1 on the left, Jiang Xiao: Hunter.
Wen Shanshan (2nd on the left): a civilian.
No. 3 Xia Weiwei on the left: Werewolf.
No. 4 Huo Fengze on the left: a civilian.
No. 5 Zhou An on the left: civilian.
No. 6 Zhou Ran on the right: Prophet.
No. 7 on the right, Xu Qingzhi: witch.
No. 8 Huo Fengyan on the right: werewolf.
No. 9 Huo Ying on the right: Werewolf.
After everyone got their ID cards, some people began to observe each other's expressions.
Generally, in this kind of offline game, one can guess the state of the player, especially a novice who picks a werewolf. The panic expression on his face can give the player away.
Huo Jin: "It's dark, please close your eyes."
Everyone's eyes were closed.
Huo Jin: "Werewolves please open your eyes, please identify each other, werewolves please kill."
Xia Weiwei, Huo Fengyan and Huo Ying opened their eyes and recognized each other's identities. Xia Weiwei made a bunch of gestures. Huo Fengyan didn't know how to play, so he only understood half of it. Huo Ying did understand. Weiwei meant to look at the order of speaking. She would act as a prophet to check the number 4 Huo Fengze. If Huo Fengze acted as a priest, Huo Ying would fill in the gap.
But even though Huo Ying had played Werewolf so many times, she still felt guilty when she got the werewolf.
She could only nod tremblingly.
Huo Fengyan watched from the sidelines. After some discussion, the two decided to give a knife to No. 6 Zhou Ran because before the game started, he said he had played less.
Although this is a room where werewolves are not banned from self-killing, it is after all the first time she tries it out. Weiwei is afraid that it will be too difficult and confuse Qingzhi, so she decides to play it in a safe conventional way at the beginning.
After making a gesture.
Huo Jin confirmed that it was No. 6 who was stabbed: "Werewolf, please close your eyes, witch, please open your eyes."
Xu Qingzhi opened his eyes.
Huo Jin made the number 6 gesture, "He is the one who died tonight, should we use the antidote?"
Xu Qingzhi took a look and saw it was Zhou Ran. He nodded and decided to save him.
Huo Jin: "Whether to use poison."
Xu Qingzhi shook his head.
Huo Jin: "Witch, please close your eyes."
Huo Jin: "Prophet please open your eyes, prophet please verify people."
Zhou Ran opened his eyes and looked around. Although he had not played much, he had previous experience and liked to touch his lower body. But when he thought that Qingzhi was a complete novice, it didn't matter whether touching her was good or bad, so he simply touched No. 1 on the opposite side and made the 1 gesture.
Huo Jin: "(Thumbs up) The good guy is this, (Thumbs down) The bad guy is this. He is (Thumbs up), please close your eyes, prophet."
Zhou Ran felt a little regretful for not touching the werewolf, so he closed his eyes.
Huo Jin: "It's dawn, Christmas Eve."
Everyone opened their eyes.
To make the game completely fair, Huo Jin drew lots from the A-9 deck and got number 2.
Huo Jin: "Starting from No. 2, speak clockwise."
Wen Shanshan, No. 2 on the left: "No. 2 is speaking. I'd like to state my identity first. I'm just a civilian. And I'm the first to speak now. I haven't heard everyone else's speech. I don't have any information, and I can't step on others. Just based on the status of the identity card, I think No. 6 on the opposite side looks a little nervous, and No. 9 is a little nervous. No. 7 looks pretty good to me. That's all. Let's listen to the speeches later. Pass."
Xia Weiwei, No. 3 on the left: "No. 3 spoke. No. 3 took a prophet card. Last night, I drew No. 4, which was a werewolf card. Why did I draw No. 4? We played together before, and he was pretty good, so I drew it. I thought if it was a good person who could lead the team, I could get out earlier if I drew a werewolf, so as not to set the pace. Then when I opened the identity card, I didn't feel too much, and my perception was similar to No. 2. I felt that No. 9 was a little nervous. After listening to No. 4, the little werewolf, I passed."
At this moment, Huo Fengze, who was listening to Xia Weiwei's speech, looked at his civilian card: My wife was a werewolf and jumped into the prophet's office, and she also sent a check! Okay, this game is really fun.
