Go back to the valley to farm

Chapter 662 Preparation
A Yin said with a smile: "He is a real celebrity, you are a real country bumpkin, Master Tang casually said you are serious! Do you want to go home? We want to go back together."

How can such benefits be missed? Li Junge immediately threw Miao Wa aside: "If you want it, first go to grandpa's coal sand maker shop, and then discuss with grandma about the fast meal on the eighth day of April."

There are many things to do next. In April, [-] villagers have moved into the new house, and Lijunge's family is the only one who is still living in the old house in Manlijiagou.

The pigs, chickens, ducks, geese and other livestock raised by the villagers in the old houses are ignored, and everyone is busy furnishing their own homestays, just waiting for the opening of the May Day holiday.

These animals vary in size, so Li Junge discussed with A Yin and found several firewood mountains and ponds to surround them and make them into a semi-natural venue, except for the [-] year-old pigs and some pigs needed for the Long Street Banquet. Chickens, ducks, geese, and the rest are all collected from the villagers and rushed to several places. From now on, they will run wild boars, pheasants, water geese, and water ducks.

Seeing Wang Hongguang leading a group of people to drive poultry and livestock into the pen, Li Junge said to A Yin: "In the future, the village's poultry, eggs, meat and various agricultural products will be provided by the group. I am afraid that the small supermarket in Ermao's house will I need to discuss with Uncle Sixin to expand the scale."

Ayin said: "This is not good. It is better to build a villager version of the online supermarket. The logistics department is responsible for distribution and the transportation department is responsible for delivering to the door. Isn't this more fresh and convenient? The supermarket is mainly for tourists, so you can buy some vegetables and meat. It doesn’t make a good impression on customers.”

Li Junge thought about it, and it really made sense, and said: "Then when I have time, I will visit a few communication companies. The base stations on the mountain must be well maintained. Now Lijiagou is becoming more and more dependent on the Internet."

In terms of communications, the geographical location of Lijiagou is a big advantage. Several communications operators have built base stations on the Shushan Mountain behind the Miao Village, completely covering a large area under the mountain. The signal is so good that it is necessary. The next time, a group of people went all the way from Dushuixi to investigate the reason for the constant signal along the way.

Ayin nodded: "Then I'll ask Lianghou to write it down. If we have time, we'll go to the county town to visit the leaders of various families."

Li Junge said: "Ida has completely let go?"

A Yin said: "Sister Ida will return to Germany after praying for Arthur on the Free Life Festival. This child Arthur is really painful, and I really miss him."

Li Junge said: "Now the whole earth is a village, and communication is convenient. If you miss him, call him. He is the heir of this big family. I'm afraid that the schoolwork will be heavy."

A Yin said: "That's right, Ida is watching over the fourth grandfather to give Arthur a book list these days, and is planning to open an online course for Arthur. I came to China, cured my illness, and added a Chinese study practice." , I don't know whether Arthur is lucky or unlucky."

Li Junge smiled and said: "Listening to fourth grandfather's class is enjoyment, even rotten wood like pigs and worms can be listened to. Arthur's class with him is adjustment after hard work every day. We don't need to worry about this."

A Yin said: "Well, how are the preparations for the long street banquet at home?"

Li Junge said: "That's so simple, by the way, I'm afraid it's a bit troublesome for the two families, Luodou and Ergou. Xiaohong has a table at home, Xiaoxue is not a girl who can cook, and Luodou and Ergou are even more unreliable. , how about our family take care of it for them too!"

A Yin laughed and said: "You are a brain, you can think of a lot if you mention a little."

Li Junge said with a smile: "This is the benefit of learning Chinese culture from Grandpa Fourth. If you grasp a point, you can pull up a net. Once you develop this way of thinking, you can't change it."

A Yin laughed and said: "But this time you may have thought too much. They are like people in Panao Township now. They are a typical example of prodigal sons who don't change their money. Now they can still subsidize the family. The daughter-in-law is beautiful and capable. Parents Brothers and sisters-in-law all have bright faces. They will come to help without calling, so we don’t need to worry about it.”

Li Junge said: "Can Xiaoxue be called pretty? She looks like a little snowball."

A Yin said: "How long has it been since you saw her? If you go to see her now, you will definitely not recognize her. You said before that Lijiagou can't grow fat, it seems to be true!"

Li Junge said: "Really? I have to go and have a look when I have time. I heard that Xiaoxue was caused by taking hormones when she was sick before. It seems that Uncle Pharmacist has helped her to recuperate. What about Uncle Carpenter's house? Uncle Carpenter's house Are you afraid that the family will have to join hands?"

A Yin said: "Uncle Bamboo Carpenter and Uncle San Gao are neighbors across the garden, and they send an apprentice to help manage it, and they will kill you in seconds."

Li Junge was at a loss for words now: "Uh, I was still thinking of saving as much as possible. By manipulating these companies, my guests will have a place to sit. Look, Fisheries Research Institute, Manzhou Fishing Association, Chongqing A group of the old company in the state, the county stone association, the old man of the Lanxie association, a group of brothers under Mr. Liu, the eighteen arhats of the brother university, and a black bodhisattva, all of which counted to about twenty or thirty tables."

Ayin couldn't help feeling: "Erpi, you have so many friends!"

Li Junge said with a smile: "Er Zhun and Xiaozhi wanted to make trouble, but I strictly stopped them. If they want to show up, can this long street banquet still be held? Forget it, I'll go back and see which families have the best bills." Not bad, let’s make arrangements in one place.”

A week passed quickly, and the eighth day of April will come in a blink of an eye.

From the seventh day of the lunar new year, Wuxi No. [-] and No. [-] have increased their frequency, and each ship has changed from three times a day to six times a day.

After several deliberations, the seats are arranged on both sides of the threshing floor of the ancestral hall and the roads spread out, while the vegetarian meals are arranged on the threshing floor.

On the eighth day of the Buddha's birthday, it is not easy to use a knife, so the slaughter of pigs was also changed to the seventh day.

Fortunately, the pig butchers in various townships are now in the off-season for their business. Uncle San Gao set up his banner and drove over from all over the country to release more than [-] big fat pigs that had turned over the year.

As of today, all the homestays have been prepared, so they rushed over to help today, and then divided the meat and took it back for initial processing. Many dishes should be ready today.

The banquet dishes in Lijiagou are actually similar to Jiudouwan. Li Junge specifically explained to each restaurant that dishes with too much soup should be prepared less, because there is quite a distance from the homestay to the seats of each restaurant.

Fortunately, A Yin and Tang Shaoping took the lead in the matter, and the two got involved with the old man, and the old man got involved with Wang Dongfang, Wang Huanbang and other old buddies, but it was manageable, Li Junge only needed to do his own home well.

Grandma took Mom, Grandma Wang, Granny Lin, grandma, aunts and sisters-in-law, and some big women in the village were busy soaking beans, pounding peppers, washing green onions, frying pepper oil, chili oil, and mushroom oil. They were also very busy. When it's time to pay, only Dad and Li Junge can come to the table at home.

So the whole afternoon was killing chickens, ducks, cooking preserved meat, cooking white meat, braised meat, cutting meat, hanging soup, fried crispy meat, croquettes, chopping sprouts, chopped green onion, minced ginger, garlic cloves...

I was busy until dinner, and all kinds of dishes were roughly complete.

Li Junge took a general look, five pots of steamed vegetables, three cold dishes, one soup dish, and the remaining four stir-fried dishes are two vegetarian dishes and two meat dishes, and one fish dish. It will not take long for Dad to finish it, and said: " Then Dad, you will be tired tomorrow, and when I get up in the morning, I have to pick up the fish and ask a group of people from the Fishing Association to help catch the fry, and I probably won’t be busy all morning.”

At this time, my mother and grandma also came back, and Li Junge asked, "Hey, why did you come back so quickly?"

My mother said: "Grandma is familiar with it, so it's hard to stop her for such a small matter? Don't worry about you, come back and have a look."

Grandma also laughed and said: "Since Piwa came back, Siqi Guobianhuo seems to have never practiced it, and I don't know if he is born or not."

Dad immediately started bragging: "How can this matter be difficult for me? It's a matter of minutes if Piwa is not here!"

The family began to deal with the supper with the scraps of the dish.

Grandma said to Li Junge: "You bring food to Ah Yin after you finish eating. On the way back, I saw that she was busy with other things, and she definitely couldn't care about eating."

Dad also said: "There is also Pingwa, I didn't see it before, Pingwa's promotion is still a bit level!"

Li Junge smiled and said: "Okay, anyway, the chicken soup is already ready-made at home, I will get some chicken soup for them to go over there, and inquire about the preparations of other families by the way, we can't lag behind!"

After eating, Li Junge walked towards the ancestral hall with a thermos bucket in one hand.

Along the way, I saw the folks rushing in and out, and the impatient ones had already started to go to their seats with the Eight Immortals table.

Seeing Li Junge, they walked all the way: "Hey, Piwa, why are you still shaking your hands? Is your table set?"

"Ah? Isn't the meeting starting tomorrow? Why are you in such a hurry?"

"Tomorrow? Your child has never arranged a table, right? There are a lot of things to do tomorrow, and what can be done today is done today!"

"What's going to happen tomorrow? Isn't it just serving the steamed vegetables and finishing with a few side dishes?"

"Ha! How can it be so simple, don't you accompany the banquet? Don't you toast? Don't lose the etiquette of our Lijiagou. When the guests arrive, you won't be able to get away. Don't make a fuss! Besides, Do more work today, and take it easy tomorrow, right?"

"Oh, what you said is so reasonable! After I deliver the meal to A Yin, I will quickly bring the table out and put it on!"

……

When approaching the ancestral hall, Li Junge saw a little monkey squatting on the roof from a distance: "Walnut, come down for me! What are you doing here when there are so many people tomorrow?!"

Then seeing Weiwei and Lin Zhao moving the borrowed table from the nearby B&B, they couldn't help being surprised and said, "What do you mean? You two also want to set up a table? Can you cook?"

Wei Wei said: "Stop looking down on people, I will surprise you tomorrow!"

Li Junge counted the seats: "Wait, isn't this seat supposed to be Yulian's sister-in-law's house? I booked to entertain fishing friends, why did you get in here?"

Lin Zhao smiled and said, "We changed with Yulian's sister-in-law!"

Li Junge was dumbfounded: "Don't! Yulian's sister-in-law and Dongsheng brother are handicrafts from the farmhouse. If it were you two, would the guests come to eat water or drink wind tomorrow?"
