Chapter 51 Sweet Sweet Sweet Rice

Liu Cuiyun and Wang Huating held hands to bypass the hustle and bustle of the wedding room. At the noisier wedding banquet, the stools brought out by the whole school were basically in this place. Four or six stools were placed on a table, and ten larger ones were placed on a table. The food is served up, except for the big bowl of vegetables and the big bowl of steamed buns, the old lady who brought her grandson, the little old man with three or five companions, and the young children who are drinking and drinking, all eating like a big feast. A hilarity.

Many of the teachers in the crowd knew these teachers from the city, and they all politely called out to the table. Wang Huating thanked them one by one, while Si Muxian was waving to her and Liu Cuiyun from a distance, and rushed forward to the big room of the house. Looking at the yard, yes, the kitchen is also open-air, straight into the yard, but the group of trumpeters have already gathered at a table, Shan Yong and Shan acting principal help the kitchen, Lei Dapeng is bored, with his head raised, playing Playing the reed whistle of the suona, he couldn't tune it. When he saw Wang Huating coming, Lei Ge stared at the tall party secretary in white skirt and trousers with dull eyes. His eyes were really sad.

Wang Huating didn't dare to talk to this guy anymore, and sat down with Liu Cuiyun on the edge of the four desks that had been moved, but Si Muxian asked why the class monitor didn't come, Wang Huating was prevaricating and rushing to catch up on papers, Liu Cuiyun also found Lei Ge's His expression and elbow moved Wang Huating quietly, but Wang Huating gouged out his eyes, Si Muxian turned his head and smiled and said, "Dapeng, sir, what's the matter? I still have to invite you?"

"I'll wait for that pot to come out before I serve it." Lei Dapeng mysteriously pointed to a big steamer. At first glance, it was not surprising at first glance. This guy, with a cage the size of a millstone, was stacked up to nine drawers. This is the open-air kitchen for wedding banquets. It is also remarkable, with eight temporary stoves built with stones, five steamers, three soup pots, and four mud-covered fires. The big case for cutting vegetables is as big as half a basketball court, and cabbage and potatoes are stacked on the case. The rice, rice, and washbasin are almost becoming hills, and the cooks around the table are all hired by the village, and there are more than a dozen people who are cooking and feasting.

"What's in that pot?" Liu Cuiyun asked.

"Eight Treasure Sweet Rice." Lei Dapeng said triumphantly, turned around and asked Shan, "Brother Dan, what do you call it?"

"Sweet, sweet, sweet rice." Shan Yong didn't come back with a sassy remark.

"It's not your Du Shiniang who is so angry with eight-treasure porridge, is it?" Liu Cuiyun teased, and when he said this, several people laughed, but Lei Ge rolled his eyes and said with a nod, "I haven't seen the world, I'm too lazy to follow you say".After saying that, he turned his head and ignored it, took out his pocket, found a bunch of filter cigarettes, packed up two packs with five or six boxes, and passed them directly to Shan Changgen, this stuff is sometimes very flattering, at least he wants to appeal to acting principal Shan I like it, I stuffed all the cigarettes my brothers earned into the acting principal's pockets.

"Is this eight-treasure sweet rice good?"

While waiting, Wang Huating said something more, knowing Lei Dapeng's temperament, the casual chicken, fish and duck really don't look in the eyes of this foodie. A sense of mystery that does not reveal the truth.Si Muxian said: "I want the ones from the village, that's all. Ten bowls for the wedding banquet, chicken, duck, fish meatball soup, that's all, but this one is made by Brother Dan, so it's naturally different."

"Cut, brag." Wang Huating said intentionally.

"Facts speak louder than words." Si Muxian said gracefully. Shan Yong heard it, and turned around with a smile and said, "I can forgive your ignorance, but I can't forgive your contempt. Let's talk after you have tasted it... Dapeng came over and revealed Pot lid, don’t blow it, can you blow that thing?”

After shouting and shouting, as long as it is to eat, Lei Dapeng stopped blowing the reed whistle, sat up on his buttocks, and went straight up, covering the rag, lifting the lid of the cast iron pot weighing dozens of kilograms, and the uppermost cage. However, only three large bowls were steamed. Let’s talk about rarity. Even Liu Cuiyun and Wang Huating’s curiosity was aroused. It became steamed rice. At this time, Shan Yong was holding thinly sliced ​​pear slices with his chopsticks, covering the rice one by one, forming a beautiful fan shape, and then scooping up the golden yellow honey in the bowl. Sprinkle a few spoonfuls of soup on each bowl, simply put it on, and cover the pot, Liu Cuiyun blurted out: "Isn't this mixed with rice?"

To put it bluntly, in the past when there was a shortage of food and noodles in the countryside, all kinds of grains and beans were used to cook miscellaneous rice. The method used was just a different workmanship. Unexpectedly, this sentence touched the nerves of foodies. Lei Dapeng rolled his eyes and scolded: "You're an idiot. The mixed rice in the village is just steamed together with glutinous rice, bean pod seeds, and dried persimmons...what are we, eight-treasure sweet rice, something that can be admitted to a star-rated hotel."

"Really? Bragging, this is the star hotel." Liu Cuiyun couldn't believe it.

"Really? It can't be fake if you cook it... glutinous rice, red bean paste, melon seeds, persimmon cakes, walnut kernels, sorghum rice, cooked lotus seeds, bean pod seeds, eight kinds of treasures, plus sugared pears, local honey, and small candied dates. After eating for a while, you can’t find where your tongue is, but this is an ingredient that was prepared according to the occasion, and it’s going to be put in our thief’s house, and the red bean paste is replaced by fish roe, and the melon seeds are replaced by almonds, and the taste can be improved.”

Lei Dapeng said that eating is much easier than talking about Tang poetry and Song poetry, and as he talked, a line of glistening saliva fell from his thick lips. Liu Cuiyun and Wang Huating laughed, and Lei Ge wiped his mouth and said this angrily. A woman has long hair and short hair.

This trip to welcome the bride was really hard. The custom in the village is that the man’s family has to lead a white horse to bring his wife back on foot all the way. From the central village of Zhuoma Township to the bride’s house, it’s more than ten miles, halfway back. It’s not fun at all. The drummer, but unexpectedly, Principal Shan found someone more cheerful, so happy that the owner came in from time to time to pass cigarettes and wine to Shan Yong and the others. The smoking bar was all given to the acting principal, and Lei Dapeng had everything in the bar. As soon as the person left, Si Muxian chased after him, fearing that he would be fooled again, and Lei Dapeng would not give it to him, so the two fought over each other.

There were only a few idlers in the banquet hall, and while they were waiting, the tables outside had already moved a few feet away. The ten bowls were nothing more than braised pork, rock sugar knuckles, whole fish and chicken, etc., which are popular among rural people. Ready-made, ready-to-eat, Wang Huating looked at it for a while and found out that Shan Yong picked out the ingredients from the owner, and he wanted to cook a few meals for them himself.

Look at it like that, very focused, the washed cabbage leaves are finely peeled, leaving green and white; the green bean pods are cut into flower shapes obliquely; Clenched fists squeezed the dough, and as soon as it was squeezed into the soup pot, round and white balls rolled up, but Liu Cuiyun knew this way, called rolling balls, half of it was taken from work, and half of it meant that it could be eaten after eating. Get out, which means that this is the last dish of the wedding banquet.

Talking and laughing, everything was prepared about the same, Shan Yong called Simuxian and Lei Dapeng, the three brothers were lifting the lid, serving the plate, and setting the chopsticks. They cooperated very tacitly. They were all on the table in a blink of an eye. Whole chicken, a portion of eight-treasure sweet rice plus a portion of rock sugar elbow. At this time, Wang Huating and Liu Cuiyun must have paid more attention to this sweet rice, and put it upside down into the bowl. The layer of pear slices is just the bottom layer, semi-circular The sweet rice that has been condensed into a ball, black bean pod seeds, white melon seeds, red candied dates, golden walnut kernels and persimmon sticks that have been steamed so hard to tell the exact color, what is even more eye-catching is , let it sit for a while, the heat receded slightly, and the whole semicircle was covered with a layer of golden color, and the fragrance of pears and the sweetness of honey came out.

"Well, that's good. I'll bring back some honey for my mother later... Hey, don't snatch it." Lei Dapeng just closed his eyes and enjoyed it. When he opened his eyes, a few spoons had already been stretched out of the basin, one for each of them. Spoon, scooped up a big piece, Lei Ge hurriedly came up to scoop up half a bowl, blew on the edge of his mouth, and stuffed a spoonful into his mouth, humming while chewing, feeling very comfortable.

I was afraid that this thing would stick to my teeth, so Wang Huating took a taste of it, but after I tasted it, my eyes moved, it was strange, it was not sticky, and it was not greasy, and it was full of fragrance. It was only after the second spoonful that I tasted it. Here comes the secret, the eight treasures made of bean pod seeds, melon seeds, and walnut kernels are almost brittle except for glutinous rice, which are quite chewy. After steaming on high heat, the honey flavor is steamed in. With the taste of honey and jujube, you can't eat it until you can't find your tongue.

"Have you tasted the sweetness?" Shan Yong asked suddenly.

At this moment, Wang Huating had just enjoyed eating, when Wang Huating's face was a little happy, everyone nodded when they heard this, but she found that Shan Yong was peeking at her, as if admiring her food, While enjoying the aroma of this sweet rice, she pursed her lips deliberately and belittled: "This... what kind of sweet is this? It doesn't taste good at all."

"Nonsense, it's not tasty, you eat so much." Lei Dapeng shouted up.

"It just doesn't taste good." Wang Huating choked on Lei Dapeng while chewing.

"No way, it's delicious." Liu Cuiyun tasted a couple of mouthfuls before speaking.Looking sideways at Wang Huating, she suddenly realized the mystery of this. She smiled without saying a word, and shook her head: "It's average, the third in the village. Maybe Dapeng can do better."

This said, Lei Dapeng was proud of it, he stirred a small half bowl and ate it vigorously, without arguing.

"Shan Yong, why don't you eat?" Wang Huating made a joke, but in the blink of an eye she cared about Shan Yong. He was looking at the eating appearance of several people with great interest, and said with a smile: "I usually look at Dapeng's eating appearance. Full, huh? Why didn’t the squad leader come, didn’t Cuiyun ask you to call him?”

"Tell him to fuck?" Lei Dapeng swears, and Shan Yong comes up with a slap of his chopsticks. He hides in a hurry, but Lei Ge has a clear love and hate. Ever since he knew such a "rival in love", he has never had a problem. good words.But Liu Cuiyun said, just bring some when I go back later.

Several people staggered their chopsticks and spoons and ate happily. Shan Yong just tasted a few mouthfuls of each dish, waited for a while to finish eating the eight-treasure sweet rice, and brought a pot of boiling water cabbage soup with green leaves and white cabbage floating in the soup. The boiled egg balls, the soup is the bone broth of boiled elbows, and the meatballs are filled with meat. The sweetness is just over, and the refreshing comes again. The classmates are sizzling and applauding.

Wang Huating ate very slowly, glanced at Shan Yong from time to time, Shan Yong chewed slowly, and occasionally told anecdotes about eating, but even slower, when the two people's eyes occasionally met, Shan Yong always kept talking Dodge, since the love triangle was exposed, the two of them seem to be strangers than when they first met, maybe because of the feelings of the idiot Lei Dapeng, or maybe, Wang Huating guessed, this idiot Lei almost had to write all the contents of Ding Yizhi's diary Tell him to worship the egg brother.Such a small group of six people can't have a square relationship, even Wang Huating feels that such a situation makes her embarrassed.

Although the food is delicious, but when the mind is about to come up, the taste will be tasteless in the mouth. When eating in a daze, Wang Huating inadvertently noticed that Liu Cuiyun looked at her with strange eyes. There was a large piece of fat elbow meat in it, and half of it had been eaten, Liu Cuiyun asked in surprise: "Sister Hua Ting, why are you eating fatty meat?"

"It's so strange, you didn't go to Shijia Village last time, and you ate the donkey's whip." Lei Dapeng interjected, but when Wang Huating raised his head, Wang Huating stared, looking like he was about to go crazy, so frightened that Brother Lei didn't dare to pull down. up.

"A balanced diet has no effect on your body, so don't be too taboo, otherwise, what's the use of having a body without health?" Shan Yong said.Lei Dapeng also strongly agreed, and said solemnly: "That's right, look at brother Gu Gu, you are both in shape and healthy."

This sentence made everyone burst into laughter, and the food in their mouths was almost sprayed on the table.Lei Dapeng was giggling smirkingly, probably this time it was purely for fun, and he didn't mind making fun of himself.

After a while, after eating several dishes, Shan Yong arranged for Si Muxian to pack a portion for the class monitor, and when he was about to leave, someone came. Township head Wang, principal Shan, and the owner walked in and pointed. Turning around, he asked, "Are you talking about him?"

Pointing at Shan Yong, the director with long hair came in first, but he was full of beards, which was really ugly, even worse than Lei Ge.Lei Dapeng just turned his face in disdain, and then turned around immediately. Behind the director, there are two lovely girls, not bad looking, the kind that makes people want to rule her.

"Hello, hello... Let me introduce myself. My name is Qin Wangchuan, the contracted director of Dahe Film and Television Company... your name is Shan Yong, right?" , After explaining for a long time, I realized that Ganqing was photographed at the wedding venue, and I wanted to invite him to play a suona hand, and then add a few suona tunes to the wedding banquet to add to the fun. Of course, it needs to be recorded live.Hearing this, Shan Yong was taken aback, Wang Huating and Liu Cuiyun were so happy to hear such a good thing, they wished to agree on Shan Yong's behalf, but unexpectedly, what came out of the mouth was: "Will you give me money?"

Yo?The director was stunned and nodded: "Here!"

"How much?" Shan Yong asked eagerly.

Well, this made Wang Huating, Liu Cuiyun and even the brothers downgrade their views on Shan Yong. Some things must not be naked. Artists, subsidize [-] per day."

"No, it's too low, aren't you fooling the people in the old districts?" Shan Yong scolded.The mayor couldn't hold back his face any longer, so he leaned forward and said, "Mr. Shan, this is a good thing. It is a blessing to be able to show your face in the large-scale feature film "Charming Luzhou" in our city. It is a blessing to be able to come to our township." It’s the blessing of our township, we can’t negotiate prices for everything, it’s almost done, isn’t it?”

"Major, this is suona playing, not bragging. Playing it down makes you dizzy and your brain is itchy." Shan Yong said. : "That's right, not everyone can brag about it, I've learned it for several years and I can't... at least..."

As soon as he said that, he looked back at Shan Yong. Shan Yong pressed the button and fell silent. The director understood the meaning and asked inquiringly, "Then how much did you say?"

"This number." Shan Yong stretched out his hand.

"Five hundred?" The director's eyes lit up.

"Add another zero." Shan Yong said.

Five thousand?Uh, I choked on the township head, the principal, and the two brought by the director. The time to show their faces was only a few tens of seconds or less, and they might be cut with a click. low.Shan Changgen was about to persuade, but was stopped by Shan Yong, pointed at the school and said: "It's too high, why don't you sponsor a hundred sets of desks and twenty sets of desks."

As soon as he said this, both the township head and the headmaster Shan were happy and silent, secretly happy in their hearts, thinking that this kid is really good, knowing how to kill the big head, so as to save money.Wang Huating suddenly smiled to herself, she dared to think of such a bad idea.

But the asking price is too high, even higher than the [-] just now. The director was obviously stunned, and only said to think about it, or try the rehearsal first. Shan Yong shook his head and refused to accept it. It needs to be discussed... As he spoke, he told the three brothers to leave, and if he wanted to pull as much as he wanted, he could pull as much as he wanted.

The director was very disappointed at once, but unexpectedly, Lei Dapeng had an idea. After taking two steps, he turned around and asked, "Director, do you want me?"

"You can also play suona?" The director had a glimmer of hope.

"No." Lei Dapeng shook his head, an idea popped up, and he asked the director to suggest, "What's the point of you filming Charming Luzhou? , Just you two girls are going to be concubines or something, and make a sex scene, how wonderful, the ratings must be high... okay? If you look at me like this, I look like a tyrant, the kind of wild and lewd."

Shan Yong and Si Muxian, who had just left the house, leaned against the wall with a straight smile, Liu Cuiyun and Wang Huating bent over with a straight smile, but I don't know why Lei Dapeng came up with such an idea, the director and Chang Ji girl who came with him were a little bit Blushing, he refused indiscriminately: "We don't make costume dramas."

"It's okay, modern dramas are also possible." Lei Dapeng chased after the director, and then Mao recommended himself: "Anti-Japanese War, there are so many anti-Japanese dramas, I play RB devils, no, no, the imperial army, I play the imperial army grabbing flowers Girl... Absolutely good at it, you don't need makeup... Hey, hey, don't go, can't I get you a sponsor?"

This chased after talking, but the director refused embarrassingly, turned around and left, the head of the Wang Township and Shan Changgen gave a look, the meaning was clear, if you want to be cheap, let us work instead of waiting Right.smiled and left.

The business was gone, and the visitor left disappointed.

It took Wang Huating and Liu Cuiyun a long while to stop laughing. When they turned their heads, Lei Dapeng was holding his collar in a coquettish way, walking with Si Muxian and Shan Yong, and he couldn't tell if he was real Stupid or deliberate.No, he said triumphantly: "Mother, it looks like you are here to coax the common people. If you don't pay us, we won't serve you anymore. Don't let them think that we are short of money if we pay back."

"That's right, the second brother won a donkey and came back from drinking, why can't he earn thousands of dollars playing the suona, haha." Si Muxian smiled and complimented the two brothers.The three of them really didn't take it seriously, and Shan Yong also smiled and said: "Dapeng, if you don't tell me, I really don't think about it. You must look like a RB devil, like that... Brother, A name?"

Shan Yong teased, Simuxian blurted out with joy, "*** Taro."

"Yo, it's close, let's call Tianshang Yiyi." Shan Yong said with a smile.Winking and laughing, the two ran away at the same time.

Lei Dapeng came to his senses a little too late, stared and shouted "Damn", picked up a stone, and chased the two of them up, fighting and heading towards the school.

"These two know how to bully Dapeng." Liu Cuiyun laughed dumbly, and Wang Huating, who was standing behind her, blushed and said angrily, "There is no good thing."

After saying this, thinking about the RB name the two gave Lei Dapeng, even she couldn't help laughing...
