Chapter 59: Eating a Banquet
The people who came to Wang Yuanchao’s yard to watch the fun were all confused by the fragrance.
There were two tables for today's banquet. After several village cadres arrived, Wang Yuanchao didn't say much. He waved his hand and arranged for everyone to sit at the table and start eating.
Wang Yuanchao also sat down with a large bowl full of bones, potatoes, radishes, and vermicelli stew and started eating.
It’s true that although this stew did not suppress the fishy smell of wild boar, it was not that unpalatable either.
Holding a bowl of hotpot, he ate while chatting with several village cadres. In this era, everyone likes the kind of fatty meat that oozes fat when you bite it.
High fat, obesity, cardiovascular disease, these are nothing to people of this era. Being fat means you are blessed, and you won’t get sick if you don’t eat. Are you kidding?
It just so happened that the pork shoulder that Wang Yuanchao brought back had very thick fat, and everyone was eyeing these pieces of fat.
It feels so good to eat meat with big mouthfuls. Everyone who is eating in Wang Yuanchao's yard has a smile on their face and looks satisfied.
"Director Yang, how does today's dish taste? Is it to your liking?"
"Yes, of course it's right, it's perfect for my taste. This big piece of fat meat is really delicious. The potatoes, radishes and vermicelli are all very tasty. With this broth, it tastes amazing."
"Haha, as long as you like it, eat more if it suits your taste. There's still plenty in the pot."
"Well, Wang Zhiqing, you are too polite and too particular.
You built such a big yard with blue bricks and tiles. Whoever marries you in the future will enjoy a long life."
"Haha, everyone lives like this, what happiness do we have?"
At this time, the aroma of meat in the yard was so intoxicating that some adults invited by Wang Yuanchao were eating.
Many children were rolling around trying to get a bite more. After they had their fill, they ran to the main courtyard and gathered together, starting to play games. Some adults followed behind the children and couldn't even catch up with them.
For a while, the yard was in chaos, both chaotic and lively. Wang Yuanchao was happy to watch the fun. He greeted the aunties in the yard and chatted with them for a while. Then he came to Secretary Zeng with a big bowl and started chatting with him.
"Hey, Secretary, my yard is really lively today. The kids all like it here."
"Yes, I like it. You're throwing out lots of candy and peanuts, and you're buying so much meat for one meal.
Even if I'm a kid, I'd like that, too. There's still a long way to go in life, so we have to be prudent in our lives, Wang Zhiqing."
"That's right, that's right, Secretary. This is the first happy event you've held since you came to our brigade.
"I think it has to look good on the surface."
"Hey, you, everyone is living a tight life now, don't try to look good, or you'll starve.
No matter how good the food looks, it is not as good as filling your stomach."
"That's right, that's right. I'm just looking at the good conditions of our brigade. Not only are our yards well-built and large, but we also have a sales outlet for the supply and marketing cooperative. I'm just trying not to embarrass myself."
"Alas, our brigade's sales outlet is a special case. Generally, supply and marketing cooperatives would never set up outlets in the brigade.
It was all due to the good fortune of our team's Fubao that when he was studying in the county, he saved the grandson of the leader of the county supply and marketing cooperative.
Our team has such an opportunity."
When Wang Yuanchao heard the secretary suddenly redirect the topic to Fubao, his eyes flashed with a thoughtful look, and he said with a smile:
"Fubao is the captain's daughter, right? She's the salesperson at the agency?"
"Yes, that's right. Fubao is a very lucky kid in our team."
"Ah? Secretary, can you be famous for your good fortune?"
"That's not true. Since Fubao was born, he has been blessed with great fortune."
