slack farmer in the wasteland

Chapter 144
The phone rang, and Cang Hai took it out to take a look, and found that it was Zhang Heng who was calling, and answered it directly.

Seeing Cang Hai's appearance, Shi Wei also closed her mouth. She quietly pulled a small bench and sat beside her. She raised her head and signaled Shi Wei to rub her chin.

"Hello, Cang Hai?"

"Well, it's me, Brother Zhang, when are you coming?" Cang Hai asked in response.

Zhang Heng said at the other end: "Tomorrow morning, around ten o'clock."

"The road here is not easy," Cang Hai reminded. I'm afraid that Zhang Heng doesn't have the slightest idea. He thinks that the mountain road of tens of miles is only half an hour's drive. He wants to tell him that there is no road in our village yet. , you can’t calculate the time according to the mileage of the road.

Zhang Heng smiled at the other end: "I know, I have been to your village, and by the way, the boss likes to keep it simple, so don't waste extravagantly when I come to your place this time, so I won't waste any big fish and meat, let's have something special." Farm food is enough, not too many dishes, the standard four dishes and one soup is enough, other things can be done as usual, how you live your daily life will be the same tomorrow... ".

Cang Hai was a little dumbfounded when he heard Zhang Heng say a lot.

Why?Because Cang Hai didn't know whether Zhang Heng was talking politely or the truth. Generally, when Cang Hai heard that the county magistrate was going to the countryside, no matter what happened, he would have to be accompanied by the township chief and the township secretary. There must be more than a dozen people, not to mention if there is a county TV station following that person, it is estimated that there will be more people than the entire village now.

"Brother, are you telling me the truth or being polite? If you tell me the truth, I really don't know how to arrange it." Cang Hai and Zhang Heng were not too polite, and asked directly.

Zhang Heng laughed and said, "Of course I'm telling the truth. The boss doesn't like that kind of tune. You can serve as usual tomorrow. At most, you can order some chicken or something. The boss is quite casual about this matter. Go ahead." Your main purpose here is to see your melon fields, other things are not important.”

Cang Hai gave a hum when he heard this, and thought to himself: This is a mess, you made me feel a little embarrassed, you know, I have all the menus in my heart, just come and tell me about the farm food, close it What is Jian is a farm dish, and what is the standard? Let me handle it with my mouth. I have never received a county magistrate. What do you want me to do?
"Okay, that's it, I still have something to do, so I hang up," Zhang Heng said on the other end.

"Don't hang up, let me ask how many people will be there tomorrow?" Cang Hai opened his mouth and asked.

Zhang Heng said: "Just three people, the boss, me and the driver, Master Guo."

"Only three people?" Cang Hai couldn't believe it.

Zhang Heng replied: "Just the three of you, don't make a big fuss over there, the boss doesn't like the tone, so don't make a lot of people at home tomorrow, just let them do their own work."

"The others stopped barking, so can I call Shang Wenyi?" Cang Hai asked.

Zhang Heng thought for a while: "Okay, then add the text."

After speaking, Zhang Heng hung up the phone.

Cang Hai put down the phone, and began to mutter: Are you planning to come to my place to be honest?
Shi Wei heard Cang Hai's muttering, but the voice was too low to understand what it was muttering, so she opened her mouth and asked, "What are you mumbling about?"

"It's okay, there are only three guests coming tomorrow," Cang Hai said.

Shi Wei was also quite strange: "Three people, didn't you say that the county magistrate is here?"

"There are only three people even going to the county magistrate," Cang Hai nodded and said.

After hearing this, Pingan said: "My grandfather said that the county magistrate would need four or two no. 30 people, and now he is making arrangements for tomorrow's affairs. He only came three times, so the county magistrate is pretty good."

Shi Wei smiled and said: "There are also big corrupt officials who ride bicycles to work every day. It's not bad for three people to come here?"

Ping An smirked twice and did not speak.

Hearing the words, Cang Hai said to Ping An: "Ping An, go back and tell your grandfather, don't worry about it, three people will come tomorrow and you don't want to accompany guests, don't kill sheep or anything."

"Okay!" As soon as Ping An heard that his sheep did not need to be killed, he immediately ran out happily to inform Hu Shijie.This silly boy still hasn't figured it out in his heart. It doesn't matter whether the sheep is killed or not, because he has already established himself. If he kills him, he can still eat some meat. If he doesn't kill him, he won't even be able to see the wool.

"Then what will we eat tomorrow?" Shi Wei asked.

Cang Hai thought for a while and said: "It's said it's a farm dish, but it's not all good. Forget it, I'll go to Grandpa Li's house to borrow a shrimp cage later, get some small miscellaneous fish, and kill them tomorrow morning." Just a chicken, get a boiled chicken, then stir-fry two vegetarian dishes and it will be done."

"Okay ah?"

Seeing that Cang Hai made it so simple, Shi Wei asked one more question.

"Anyway, what Zhang Heng said, let's just follow it. Wen Yiyi will be notified to come tomorrow, and I just picked a few melons for him to taste for the tree planters over there," Cang Hai said.

"That's fine." Shi Wei didn't know how to entertain a county magistrate, so she could only listen to Cang Hai.

After eating, Cang Hai took the borrowed shrimp cage and drove the ugly donkey to Fenghuanggou with Ping An, lowered the cage into the pond, brought seven or eight watermelons and returned home.

Waiting for the early morning of the next day, Cang Hai started to get busy. The little roosters at home could also be eaten. The big, fat ones were picked and slaughtered, and Ping An went to collect the shrimp pots. The three A total of four to five catties of small miscellaneous fish were collected in the cage, and there were all kinds of fish, such as small crucian carp the size of a palm, spines with chopsticks, and the special mud squid here. Anyway, there are seven or eight kinds of fish with scales. There are scaleless ones, and there are two other eels.

The three people in Canghai were busy with their work, and Wen Yidao came driving a car.

Now Wen Yiyi, besides looking at his face, has an authentic Northwest taste in both his clothes and his accent. When he sits on the scooter, he is quite a Northwest guy, and he doesn't look old-fashioned at all.

When they arrived at Cang Hai's house, Wen Yiyi was not polite, he rolled up his sleeves after exchanging greetings and helped chop firewood.

Not a while after Wen Yiyi arrived, Cang Hai heard the motorcycle, stood up and took a look, and found a three-wheeled motorcycle parked in front of his house. Lu Yanzhi's driver, Xiao Guo, was driving the three-wheeled motorcycle. One is sitting in the bucket.

"So early?"

Cang Hai wiped the water from his hands on his apron, then untied the apron and went up to him.

Zhi Yanzhi jumped out of the car, stretched his waist and said: "I know the road here is not easy to walk, so I came out before dawn. I thought it would be difficult to go anywhere, but I didn't expect it to be so difficult." At this point, I would say that the roads in your village are a big problem.”

Cang Hai said with a smile: "There is no other way, it was originally planned to move to the town."

While talking, she wanted to welcome Lu Yanzhi into the house.

Lu Yanzhi waved his hand and said, "Just go outside, you don't have to be restrained. By the way, Zhang Heng, didn't I say not to let them make a fuss, why are you still like this?"

Zhang Heng said with a bitter face, "I told him."

As he spoke, he took a look at Cang Hai.

Cang Hai immediately said: "Nothing to prepare, today's lunch is quite simple, I caught some small miscellaneous fish in the cage yesterday, and my own chicken, in addition to these two dishes, there are green pepper potato shreds and tomato scrambled eggs , plus a seaweed egg soup".

Hearing what Cang Hai said, Lu Yanzhi nodded, walked two steps to Ping An's side, and looked at the small miscellaneous fish that Ping An was taking care of.

"This fish is not bad, look at Huanshi." Lu Yanzhi saw the few Huanshi small crucian carp shells left in the basin, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect you to have live fish to eat here, it's really good." Have a taste".

Even if Lu Yanzhi had never been here before, Lu Yanzhi knew roughly what it was like here. Originally, draft water had to be picked several miles away, but now you can eat live fish. He had something to do with it, so he naturally had a smile on his face.

"I'll take you to have a look in the afternoon," Cang Hai said.

Lu Yanzhi asked: "Is it far? If not, we will leave now."

Cang Hai said: "It takes two or three hours to go back and forth and look around."

Lu Yanzhi looked at his watch: "I have no problem. Anyway, I eat around one o'clock every day. How about you?"

Canghai and the others had the nerve to say that we ate early, we had lunch at 11:30, so we had to nod to express that we ate too late.

This is also the reason why Cang Hai doesn't like to get together with 'big shots', there is no way, everything has to be done according to other people's wishes, and he can't take things by himself at all!
No, as soon as Lu Yanzhi said that he had dinner at one o'clock, he had to nod to show that he was the same, what a fuck, what a disobedience!

Lu Yanzhi was going to have a look, and Canghai naturally had to prepare a cart.

"No, your car won't work," Ping An said immediately when he saw that Lu Lizhi's driver, Xiao Guo, was about to start the three-wheeled motorcycle.

Lu Yanzhi was crossing his legs and preparing to climb onto the tricycle. Hearing this, he withdrew his legs and asked Ping An with a smile, "This car doesn't work, either?"

"No, other cars are not allowed except for walking and livestock carts. When my second brother gets the car, you can go on the scooter together," Ping An said.

Hearing Ping An's words, Lu Yanzhi smiled.Lu Yanzhi could also tell that the half-assed person who spoke was a bit out of his wits, and he had a kind of stupidity about him, but fortunately he wasn't too stupid.

Lu Yanzhi stood on the edge of the platform, put his hands on his hips and began to look around. At this time, Sijiaping Village was no longer what it was two years ago. Looking up, the valley near the village was verdant. From time to time, there is a small forest or a large bamboo forest, with a meandering river running through the small village in the middle, and the opposite and west slopes are full of large crops, such as short wheat and tall corn. , full of piercing eyes like Jiangnan.

On both sides of the valley, from time to time, you can see three or five sheep gnawing grass leisurely, one or two farmers carrying hoes and straw hats walking along the riverside road towards the village. Running back and forth in front of him, raising his feet from time to time to urinate in the grass ditch by the roadside.

"It's such an idyllic scenery," Lu Yanzhi said with a sigh.
