"Is it okay now?!"
"ah?"
"Is it ready to use now?"
Hahahaha
Li Xiangdong stood around the two Dongfeng brand combine harvesters that were making a "putt-putt-putt" sound, as happy as a child, jumping and chattering away.
Feng Yucai found it inexplicably funny, but upon closer reflection, Li Xiangdong was indeed a fourteen-year-old boy.
But he acts too much like an adult in his daily life.
Yu Deshui jumped out of the driver's seat, his hands and face covered in oil. Feng Yucai was no less covered in oil, his body also stained with yellow oil.
Li Xiangdong showed no disgust whatsoever, grabbing one person with each hand and saying emotionally, "Both of you are great benefactors to the people of Lijiapo!"
Yu Deshui was speechless, while Feng Yucai shrugged dramatically and pulled his hand away.
"Stop with the nice talk, I haven't eaten all day! I want meat, fish, and beer!"
"Hahahaha, no problem, take the old lady with us, let's go to the most luxurious restaurant in Dongfang City, order whatever you want!"
Li Xiangdong said generously.
Feng Yucai completely forgot his fatigue from the day and urged Yu Deshui to take them there quickly.
Finally, the group took a bus for more than an hour to reach the Meilan State-run Hotel in Dongfang City. Fortunately, the bus had windows, and Li Xiangdong kept his head out the whole time, so he didn't get carsick.
"Dongfang City is really much better than our Huichuan County!"
Looking at the luxuriously decorated facade, the six gleaming gold characters "Meilan State-Owned Restaurant" framed by neon lights, the bright lights in the lobby, and the endless stream of people coming and going, Feng Yucai sighed, "People in the city are really rich! Look at our Huichuan County, hardly anyone eats stir-fried dishes!"
"Oh, so this is Huichuan County now? Aren't you from the global metropolis of Shanghai? You actually think highly of Dongfang City, a small prefecture-level city?" Li Xiangdong teased him.
"Stop talking nonsense, let's go!"
The four of them booked a private room. Feng Yucai, holding the menu, kept ordering, "Quail eggs stewed with braised pork, stir-fried three kinds of vegetables, stir-fried liver tips, braised carp, chicken stew with mushrooms..."
Feng Yucai was excited about what he ordered, but then he looked at the prices and said, "Hehe, that's all for now. You three can order some more, hehe!"
Yu Deshui's mother kept saying, "This is a sin! Fish and meat, we can't eat it all!"
No matter how much Yu Deshui tried to persuade him, he wouldn't order any food.
Li Xiangdong had no choice but to order a garlic-flavored lettuce, stir-fried gourd strips with soy sauce, abalone and chicken soup, and a large bowl of rice.
"Four more bottles of Lao Xue!"
"Old Snow" is the common name for Snow Beer, and some people also call it "Mendao Lv" (meaning "knockout donkey"), which means that it is so strong that people with a low alcohol tolerance can easily be knocked out after drinking it.
At this time, Snow Beer has a relatively high alcohol content and malt content, and the beer taste is pure. The malt concentration of "Old Snow" can reach up to 20 degrees!
Snow Beer was established in 1957. This was the Snow Beer trademark at the time. Although our region is not in Northeast China, Snow Beer is the most popular.
This is the trademark for Snow Beer with a wort concentration of 20%.
Looking at the plates of colorful and fragrant meat dishes laid out on the clean white tablecloth, the steaming abalone and chicken soup, the huge bowl of rice as white as snow, and the crispy fried carp with its head and tail sticking up and drizzled with a layer of thick red soup, everyone's mouths were practically watering!
Looking at the dishes, Li Xiangdong felt as if he had lived through another world.
The four of them swung their chopsticks so tightly that there was no gap, and in no time they had eaten the whole bowl clean!
Feng Yucai's belly was so full that he loosened his belt four times!
He reclined in the chair, his lips glistening with oil, a satisfied smile spreading across his face.
The other three people....
The other three people were in the same situation.
We were quite happy while eating, but when it came time to pay the bill, it cost ten jin of grain coupons and seventy-eight yuan!
Seeing Li Xiangdong pay without blinking, Feng Yucai wondered how this country bumpkin could seem to have an endless supply of money.
"Xiao Li, I washed your clothes, shoes, and bag tonight, you can take them with you tomorrow. Also, pay the money first thing tomorrow morning, and once the paperwork is done, the harvester can be driven away!"
"Um, Uncle Yu, can I have my watch back now?" Feng Yucai pointed to the watch on Yu Deshui's wrist.
"Yes, yes, thank you, Xiao Feng!"
Yu Deshui took the watch off his hand and returned it to Feng Yucai.
"Uncle Yu, the clothes, shoes, and bag are all gifts for you! You don't need to return them! Besides, you helped me fix the car all day! I haven't paid you yet!"
Li Xiangdong is not a stingy person at all. Although the outfit cost him more than seventy yuan, the main expense was the pair of three-piece leather shoes!
But compared to the favor I received from the car repairman, it's still too little!
Yu Deshui firmly refused.
Li Xiangdong said, "I have another request. You have to teach us how to operate the harvester!"
........
Help someone to the very end, and see them through to the end.
After a long day of hard work repairing cars, Yu Deshui resigned himself to starting his coaching career the next day, promising to teach everything he needed to know.
Li Xiangdong loved driving in his past life, so learning to drive a harvester didn't take him much effort. He learned even faster than Feng Yucai, which made Yu Deshui keep praising him!
Li Xiangdong, who had driven for decades in his previous life, waved his hand and said that it was all due to his good talent!
Feng Yucai: This country bumpkin is quite the show-off!
While Feng Yucai was learning to drive, Li Xiangdong searched every nook and cranny of the scrap yard for a long time and finally found several scrolls in a corner of the toilet!
It's two paintings cut in half!
