Chapter 100: Life is Good
There were two tables in the yard, one for the women and children, and one for the men.
As the elder, Pan He sat at the top seat, with Deng Wenyan and Li Baisong on his left and right. After Li Baisong was Qin Fangci. The eldest Li sat next to Qin Fangci, and the second Li sat next to the eldest brother in order of seniority.
When Li Laosan saw his position clearly, he froze.
Why are you standing next to the county magistrate?
Li Laosan looked around and saw Changquan and Changxi moving stealthily towards the kitchen.
Li Laosan's eyes lit up, "Brother, two little brothers, where are you going? Come and sit down and have dinner."
Save him.
He really didn't dare to squeeze in with the county magistrate.
Changquan and Changxi were stunned.
When Li Laosan shouted, everyone looked towards Changquan Changxi.
Yuan and Wang walked together, pulling people from the left and right as they walked towards the man.
They were excited and hungry, and they didn't even notice how these two people slipped over here.
Changxi and Changquan were dragged by the two women, their faces flushed. Changquan was quiet, and Changxi hurriedly pulled back his sleeves, "Third sister-in-law, there's no need to do this. Let go, we can just go to the kitchen and have a bite to eat."
They could have chosen not to eat it, but the taste was so delicious that they just took a bite, just one bite.
Li Laosan took two quick steps forward, grabbed Changxi and pushed him next to Deng Wenyan.
Changxi was so strong that he felt like he flew forward two steps. He opened and closed his eyes, and was about to exclaim when he saw the smiling face of his master.
Changxi: "Oh, no, this is not possible."
"The host will do as the guest wishes. Please sit down together and don't delay Aunt Qin's family from going to the fields for a while." Deng Wenyan said gently, "You can also follow the teacher and try it later."
"That's great." Li Laoer blurted out, "With so many people, we can plant three acres this afternoon without any problem. We won't even need all morning to finish the rest tomorrow."
Qin Fangci was far away and was afraid of kicking the wrong ball, so she could only stare at Li Laoer.
How dare you ask the county magistrate and his men to plant rice for you?
When Li Laoer received Qin Fangci's gaze, he realized that he was too bold and shrank his neck.
Li Laosan finally sat down next to Changquan. Although he was still a little uncomfortable, it was much better than sitting next to the county magistrate. He even dared to talk to Deng Wenyan, "Please try it, sir. It's all homemade."
"The guest should follow the host's wishes." Pan He put a piece of large intestine into Deng Wenyan's bowl and said with a smile, "Try it. This is something delicious that we have never tasted before."
In the past, if someone asked him to eat pig intestines, he would twist them into intestines, but now, he just likes it.
It’s a pity that I came in a hurry today and didn’t bring a wine jug. It would have been better if I had brought one.
Deng Wenyan looked at the strange thing in the bowl, which looked like meat but not quite like meat.
Smelling the fragrance in the air, Deng Wenyan smiled and put the large intestine into his mouth.
Everyone's eyes unconsciously fell on Deng Wenyan, waiting for Deng Wenyan's feedback curiously and nervously.
Not only had Deng Wenyan never eaten anything in his mouth, he had also never eaten while being watched by others like this.
The large intestine has a rich spice flavor when you take a bite. It is not soft, but chewy but not too chewy.
There seems to be a bit of a stinky feeling at the end of chewing, but it is quickly filled with the taste of spices, and then I have the urge to pick up the second chopstick.
"What is this?" Deng Wenyan asked gently.
Just as Li Lao Da and Li Lao Er were about to answer, Pan He picked up a thin piece of pig's ear and put it in Deng Wenyan's bowl.
"Don't worry, I'll tell you after you finish eating. They are all delicious." Pan He greeted Changquan Changxi happily, "You should try them too. They are not sold in the county yet."
Deng Wenyan and the other two looked at the Li family calmly and understood what Pan He meant.
Wanting to expand business to the county town is just a small thing.
Besides, the food does taste good.
When eating vegetarian food, Li Baisong got a hint from Pan He and answered Deng Wenyan's questions when he was curious.
Bracken, bamboo shoots, cold water celery, cold purslane, and a plate of cold toon sprouts.
Deng Wenyan has also seen some wild vegetables during this period. When he goes to farmers' homes, he usually tastes the wild vegetables if they are hospitable. He usually does not touch eggs and minced meat, as it is good for the farmers to use them for their own nourishment.
But those wild vegetables are indeed hard to swallow.
Some are served directly after being boiled in water, which is different from the wild vegetables in front of you, which are tender, green and crisp, and taste delicious when you take a bite.
It tastes delicious even when mixed with whole grain rice, not to mention that he has a big meat bun in his hand.
Deng Wenyan accidentally ate a bun and picked up another one.
One was filled with minced pork and green onions, and the other seemed to be filled with tofu. Deng Wenyan looked at them carefully.
Qin Fangci explained, "Your Excellency had tofu buns. I was busy planting rice today, so I didn't soak beans or make tofu. I made some yesterday and sold some. I used the rest to make buns today. Do you think they taste good?"
Deng Wenyan nodded, swallowed the food in his mouth and said, "It tastes very good. I have never seen anyone selling tofu here before."
"My Lords, please feel free to come to my house to eat. People from several nearby villages love to buy the tofu we make. Some even exchange it for beans. We used to fry the bean dregs, but we've eaten so much lately that we've fed the pigs." Li Laoer couldn't help but chatter again, "Life is good, too."
After he finished speaking, he realized that he had talked too much again, and hurriedly went to look at Qin Fangci.
Deng Wenyan smiled and said, "Life is good when it's good. The good life you have earned through your own efforts should be prosperous."
It would be great if the people of Guangyi County could eat such meals during the busy farming season.
Let’s not talk about Guangyi County, let’s talk about Liantang Village, the nearby Dongshi Village, and Maozhu Village…
If the Li family's business can grow, the people in these villages will also have an income during the slack season, and their lives will be better.
Deng Wenyan smiled at Li Baisong and picked up his chopsticks to eat again.
Don't be in a hurry. You can't achieve everything in one go.
Deng Wenyan tasted all the food on the table. Seeing everyone eating with smiles on their faces and relishing the food, he felt full without realizing it.
After dinner, the women cleaned up the dishes and the men sat under the eaves to rest.
The excited hearts slowly calmed down after the meal, and they felt sleepy. Li Lao Da and Li Lao Er yawned several times in succession and didn't feel like going back to sleep.
Li Laoer simply got up and walked around, and by the way, he approached the county magistrate to have some fun, so that the county magistrate would be more familiar with him, and it would be easier to talk about the three scammers later.
Boss Li didn't want to stand up as long as he could sit. It was not convenient for him to go back to his room to sleep, so he simply leaned against the wall, closed his eyes and took a nap.
Li Laosan felt that he had eaten too much delicious food, so he took a shoulder pole and bucket and went out to fetch water.
Pan He pulled a stool and sat aside, then called Li Baisong over and said, "Tell your second brother what he ate just now."
The familiar look of the old naughty boy instantly set off alarm bells in Deng Wenyan's heart.
