The joys and sorrows of this world are not shared. The men who were gambling in the village were taken away by the PCs, but the rich guys from the city were preparing for a barbecue party in the evening.
Because they were worried that the meeting might be postponed, they did not notify the villagers in advance. Now that everything was ready, the village chief naturally arranged for people to go door to door to call the villagers to the threshing ground in the village to eat.
"Brother Xiao Xu, please help me make this!"
Zheng Zijie came to Xu Shang carrying a plastic bag. Xu Shang opened it and saw that there were a bunch of small crabs inside.
"Where did it come from?" Xu Shang asked curiously.
"This is a real stream crab. Don't underestimate its size. It can only grow to this size. It's a delicacy you can't find in the city!" Zheng Zijie added, "Jiang Xiaotiao took me there to catch it. It's really fun to catch crabs in the stream!"
Xu Shang immediately showed an envious look, he also wanted to go to the creek to catch crabs!
When seeing these crabs, Xu Shang immediately thought of a snack called 'Deep-fried Small Crabs', and he immediately started to make it. In less than ten minutes, he served this delicious dish to Zheng Zijie.
BBQ was also served.
Xu Shang set up a dozen barbecue grills in the village and grilled food simultaneously. Of course, he also asked helpers to help with flipping the food over, but he was responsible for the main grilling work. With the help of the snack chef level 10, this little bit of busyness was no problem for him.
Whether it was the rich guys in the city or the poor villagers in Tianya Village, they all enjoyed the meal.
"Wow! This little crab is so delicious!"
"Really? Really? I want one too! Wow, it's so delicious!"
"So fresh! So refreshing!"
After Zheng Zijie gave the first praise, the rich guys immediately began to attack the stream crabs, fighting with each other for them. They used their chopsticks very quickly, and some even started eating directly, fearing that they would be snatched away by others if they were late.
Zheng Zijie took a few sips of the ice beer and sighed:
"Drinking cold beer, eating small crabs, sitting next to the small vegetable garden, and feeling the cool breeze! Oh, I want to live here!"
But he changed the subject: "It's just that the conditions are too bad. There's no air conditioning, no refrigerator, no bar, no KTV... Forget it, I'd better go back to the city!"
This sentence seemed to bring him back to reality, making Xu Shang feel emotional.
Compared to the rich guys in the city who love to eat stream crabs, the villagers expressed their complete incomprehension.
They couldn't understand. For rich guys, such delicious food was really hard to find in the city, especially crabs that started to rot before they died. Such fresh stream crabs were hard to find in the city even with a lantern, not to mention that they had been cooked by Xu Shang, a top snack chef.
But for the villagers, especially the very poor villagers in Tianya Village, who would eat that stuff when there is meat!
The barbecue is delicious!
This big oil is sizzling!
A mouthful of oil makes you feel so good!
Xu Shang could feel the poverty of Tianya Village just from eating barbecue, because they especially loved to eat fatty meat skewers. Even the aunties in the village who helped to skewer the meat loved to eat fatty skewers.
Although the first bite is very satisfying, will you really not get tired of it if you eat too much?
Thinking of this, Xu Shang quickly added some more grilled vegetables.
At this moment, Xu Shang discovered a thin figure beside him.
"Sister? Why don't you go have a barbecue?"
Yamei took out a baked potato from her pocket and timidly handed it over: "You treated me to barbecue, and I treated you to potatoes... Please don't be disgusted, okay?"
Xu Shang took the potato and asked, "Didn't we say we would grill it tonight? Why are you grilling potatoes?"
"I don't know, this is my dinner! The girl loves baked potatoes the most!"
Looking at Yamei's sincere smile, Xu Shang peeled off the skin of the baked potato and took a bite. Then his smile remained unchanged, and his eyebrows slightly raised at the corners of his mouth.
The taste of baked potatoes...how should I describe it.
Just no taste.
Yes, how can it taste without adding any salt?
"You treat me to a meal, and I treat you to a meal too!"
Xu Shang immediately handed a handful of barbecued meat to Yamei, which dazzled the little girl. She took a small bite and then smiled: "The meat is so delicious!"
But she didn’t forget to add: “Potatoes are delicious too!”
"Take it and eat it slowly!" Xu Shang said to Yamei with a smile.
But Yamei didn't leave. Instead, she stood there hesitantly. Finally, she blinked pitifully, looked at Xu Shang, and asked in a low voice:
"Brother Xu Shang, are you leaving?"
Xu Shang was startled and asked, "Who told you that?"
"That's what the adults say."
Xu Shang was silent for a moment, then said, "The adults are trying to scare you. Don't they always scare people? They say there's a man-eating tiger in the forest, or a wolf grandmother who kidnaps children?"
"Yeah! Adults often scare people!"
After hearing what Xu Shang said, Yamei happily ran into the group of children with the skewers of meat.
Xu Shang did sigh in his heart. Yes, the Metamorphosis show was about to end. According to common sense, he seemed to have no reason to stay in Tianya Village.
At this moment, a voice sounded in Xu Shang's ears.
"Xu Shang, it's not nice to lie to a child."
The corners of Xu Shang's mouth twitched slightly, and he glanced at a certain director unhappily.
Can you disappear from my sight when I am happiest!
"I don't seem to remember that the whole village invited everyone to have a barbecue, including the production team?"
The director smiled and said, "If it weren't for our show, would anyone know about Tianya Village? Would anyone come all the way here to treat the villagers to barbecue? Of course, the main credit goes to you. After all, you grilled all of this. Wow, it tastes great!"
Xu Shang rolled his eyes and ignored the director.
The director looked at the villagers in the threshing ground and said:
"I understand your thoughts. Look, they are so happy!"
The villagers brought tables, chairs and benches from their homes and were eating meat with big mouthfuls.
"I never thought that I could eat meat so happily!" A big brother attacked with both hands, and his rough movements caused the iron skewer to emit sparks!
"It's more enjoyable than going to the town for a big banquet! Honey, take your time!" The mother and son next to them were enjoying their meal.
"I never thought I could eat meat like this before. If I could live like this every day, I would be happy even if I died."
An old man seemed to be recalling the past, his eyes sparkling with tears, but his hands did not stop moving at all, and he took a big bite of the grilled lamb chop.
I have to say that the director is really good. His words touched Xu Shang's heart. Xu Shang said:
"You see, they are the majority. Those who gamble are a minority after all. The majority of them live so silently, so hard, and so diligently. I want them to be as happy in the future as they are today!"
The director nodded, and suddenly changed the subject:
"But such happy days are destined to be short-lived!"
Xu Shang had only one thought in his mind at this moment:
I really want to slap someone.
