We ate, drank and chatted, and the meal lasted from noon to sunset.
That is to say, in a privately owned restaurant, if you were in a state-owned restaurant, you would have been chased away by the waiter with a broom.
After the show, Lao Tao and Meng Chenglin, who were drinking to drown their sorrows, were so drunk that they couldn't walk straight.
I asked a few other people to carry it back.
The fifth day of the New Year passed in a flash, and on the sixth day, several stores of the Meng family officially opened for business.
Meng Ling and her husband set up their street stall, and Chen Hongxing and her husband also set up their tofu stall.
Meng Qiang started to finish his winter vacation homework.
Everyone has started a busy new year.
Of course, except for Meng Sheng and Feng Yijia.
From that day on, the two of them wandered around the county, eating, drinking and having fun.
Go to temple fairs, watch movies, and wander around the streets and alleys with lion dance and dragon boat dance teams.
In short, he would go wherever there was a commotion, and only occasionally appear in dry goods stores and electrical appliance stores to check the situation and accounts, to show that he still cared about his own business.
But they didn't play for nothing, they did a lot of things one after another.
For example, we found an old motor at the agricultural machinery station and had it repaired and modified so that my parents no longer had to use their hands to grind soy milk.
For example, through Hou Qunying, he bought an agricultural tricycle in the provincial capital, and when they passed by here on their way to the south, he would help pull it over.
For example, the two bought a house and two adjacent shops near the middle school, and then rented them out.
For example, he sold some of the various bills that Meng Sheng had brought back from the basement.
More than half a year has passed, and I still have a lot of it left after using it for my own use. I don't think anyone will come after it, so I have to sell it out in small quantities, otherwise it will just be used as firewood.
For example, they bought a lot of herbal seeds and waited until spring to plant them in the forest they contracted.
Eating, playing and busying ourselves, the Lantern Festival came in a blink of an eye.
The Lantern Festival, also known as the Little New Year, is the second important festival in the new year.
Many units in the city are on holiday, which is the golden time to make money.
The Meng family was reluctant to stop their business, so the idle Feng Yijia and his wife took on the responsibility of preparing a big meal for everyone in the evening.
As for the Yuanxiao to be eaten in the morning, don’t count on these two people. It’s good enough that they can get up in time for dinner.
Meng Shengduo has lived for several decades, but if we talk about what he has cultivated most, it has to be his face.
The main point is that I am not embarrassed, it is others who are embarrassed.
After just a few days in the city, I resumed my daily routine in the village.
Four out of five days, he dragged his wife to sleep until noon.
Feng Yijia's protests and objections were in vain. This man was as caring and accommodating to her outside the bed as he was domineering and overbearing in bed.
Even though she used all her strength to move her thin arms and legs, in Meng Sheng's eyes, they looked like a cat scratching.
Unable to resist, Feng Yijia could only accept it.
What else can I do?
The other members of the Meng family were surprised once, twice, three times, and four times, but after so many times they got used to it.
I would only find it strange if I saw someone early in the morning.
That day, they slept until the sun rose as usual, then got up, packed up and went to the vegetable market to buy vegetables.
Then, in the afternoon, I fry, stir-fry and cook at home.
Feng Yijia and Meng Sheng are now people who don't mind eating and drinking. Not only do they use three chickens to go with one eggplant, but they also use plenty of oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and other seasonings.
When Chen Hongxing was not selling tofu, she ran back to the kitchen to take a look. She saw the rice crusts frying in the oil pan, and then she saw that only the bottom of the pot was left of the five pounds of rapeseed oil she had just brought back. She regretted it deeply.
If I had known this, I wouldn't have sold tofu today. The little money I earned wouldn't even be enough to buy a meal for these two things.
However, she is no longer the Chen Hongxing who used to worry about her children's tuition and living expenses. When she saw this scene, she did not jump up and down and curse.
He just covered his chest and hurried out of the kitchen.
Out of sight, out of mind.
Meng Sheng was stirring the browned and crispy rice in the pot. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw his mother rushing in and out. He glanced at his watch and saw that it was still early for dinner. He said to Feng Yijia, who was stoking the fire, with a smug look on his face, "Look, it must be because the food I cooked smells so good.
My mom was so attracted that she ran from the front to the kitchen to see what was going on!"
The man raised his eyebrows and looked up complacently. Feng Yijia, who noticed her mother-in-law's dark face, did not refute. She smiled in her heart and nodded in agreement: "Yeah, yes, the dishes you cook are getting more and more delicious!"
This is also true.
After decades of experience, she has some knowledge about how to train her husband.
Just one word: "praise", one sentence: "Don't discourage people's enthusiasm for work!"
Look, after two or three months, the man's cooking skills have improved a lot, and he can barely take on the responsibility of preparing a big meal like tonight.
The key is to be very confident and proactive.
On the dinner table, there were shredded pork with rice crust, braised fish, stewed chicken with mushrooms, stir-fried pig blood with pickled cabbage, crispy pork and vermicelli soup and some small green vegetables. Everyone nodded in approval as they ate.
Only Chen Hongxing felt a little sorry for her rapeseed oil, as even the most delicious dishes seemed tasteless in her mouth.
After the Lantern Festival, people's work and life return to normal.
The weather has shown clear signs of warming up, and there is hardly any snow in the city.
Meng Qiang officially started school, and Meng Chao was also preparing to travel far away again.
When a rough guy goes out, he packs two sets of clothes, deposits most of his money in the bank, and puts a small portion in the special inner pocket of his underwear.
In addition to these, the most important are the shops opened in the county town.
Unlike Meng Sheng, who made money easily and was not very concerned about business, this was money he earned through hard work from dawn to dusk, and it was also his way out.
The night before departure, Meng Chao talked to Meng Sheng, "Second brother, Brother Hou has added three trucks this time, and Brother Xiao has also got a car.
This time we go south, there are more cars and people, so it is safer.
Everyone discussed reselling more things along the way.
The time spent out must not be short.
My parents are honest, my younger brother needs to go to school, and Lingzi is married after all, so it’s not good to always ask my sister and brother-in-law for help. Second brother, you shouldn’t stay in the village to take care of your wife all the time.
I come to the county every now and then.
Brother Xiao and his capable brothers are going to do legitimate business and no longer get involved in street business. His territory will definitely be occupied and taken over by others slowly.
You can't bother Director Ge with trivial matters. You have to come over and keep an eye on him from time to time to prevent anyone from bullying or causing trouble."
