Life in a quiet village in Xianshan

Chapter 251 Talking in a hurry

Everyone knows the truth. It takes a lot of time for us Chinese to push. You want to give it, but they don’t want it. Good guy!

Grind.

People on both sides pushed and pushed, and finally it was Hu Shunkai who spoke, telling the two that his son-in-law was coming to get engaged, and he really didn't have time to play push hands with them today.

So the father and son apologized again and again, and finally left the Hu family.

The two of them also knew that they were considered unwelcome guests today, and even the Hu family would not be able to stay. The Hu family's son-in-law came to visit, and they went to eat at someone else's house. If they ate the meal, they would not be laughed at by others for the rest of their lives. ?

So when they heard that their son-in-law came to propose marriage, the father and son immediately stood up and said goodbye.

The Hu family, Xu Congwen, Zhu Shiming, and Gu Siwei were all left at home.

Next, no one mentioned the issue of giving up a house, and everyone was talking about the marriage between Gu Siwei and Hu Yanqiu.

Gradually, Gu Siwei felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere. It was not a bad thing, but whether it was Hu Shun who was making a double-cross, or Xu Congwen and Zhu Shiming, they were clearly aiming their guns at Gu Siwei.

Gu Siwei smiled and said: "I said... Mr. Xu, you are the matchmaker I invited. Why do you only ask me questions?"

Xu Congwen said: "There are people on the Hu family's side who are steering the ship. Who are you on your side? If you don't ask clearly, don't make any more jokes."

After hearing this, Gu Siwei said: "There won't be any jokes. Uncle Liu Fulin is taking care of things at home, and the villagers are helping to arrange the arrangements. Even if I go back on the day of picking up the bride, there will be no problem for me. You don't need to do this." Worry about it.”

Seeing the confidence on Gu Siwei's face, Xu Congwen hummed.

But not long after, he opened his mouth and asked again: "By the way, have you found someone to cut out the word "hi" or something like that? If no one can cut it out, I'll find someone for you."

Gu Siwei almost rolled his eyes. How could he forget about this? How can you get married without a happy word? It was already careless, but now without a happy word, isn't it even more careless?

"He will never forget this," Zhu Shiming followed.

Just when Gu Siwei wanted to praise the old man, Zhu Shiming immediately lost his temper.

"Have you bought all the bedding at home? Don't fool me with the old ones. I know you have money in your pocket. Don't be stingy that day," Zhu Shiming said.

Gu Siwei was speechless and opened his mouth and said: "Mr. Zhu, I am getting married. I am taking a wife, not a bride. How could I have thought of this? I don't need others to tell me. I know I can't use the old one. Don't worry, it's a complete set." It’s all brand new”.

"Are you ready for the cabinets and stuff?"

"...".

Gu Siwei now wants to beat these two old men to death!

"By the way, I have something else to do at noon, so I have to leave early."

Zhu Shiming pretended not to see the knife-hungry expression on Gu Siwei's face, and said this naturally.

You can't just listen to these words openly, you have to listen to the meaning behind them. What Lao Zhu means is: It's getting late, it's time to make lunch.

There is no need for anyone to go out to restaurants now, and everyone knows that Gu Siwei's craftsmanship is not comparable to that of ordinary roadside restaurants.

Even if the restaurant has a good chef who cooks good food, no one can guarantee that the chef is in a good mood today. If he is in a bad mood, the dishes he cooks may not even be as good as pig food.

This is the situation now. Even if the master is incompetent, he will not be fired, unless the person commits murder or arson. If he does not commit a punishable crime, the worker is a serious master.

"I've been talking and lost track of time. I'm going to cook right now." Lu Yihui heard Zhu Shiming's words and understood immediately, stood up and went to cook.

Lu Yihui just pretends that even her own children don't like to eat the food she cooks.

Gu Siwei naturally knew that it was time for him to show off again, so he stood up with a smile: "Mom, let me do it!"

He said and rolled up his sleeves.

Zhu Shiming made a joke about Gu Siwei: "The kid's ability to climb along the pole is really good. I think if I had this ability back then, I would have become a high-ranking official a long time ago."

"With this ability, you can't become a high official of one party. At most, you will be a disaster to one party." Xu Congwen did not give any face to his old friend.

Hu Shunkai had already heard about the mutual quarrel between the two old men. He could not intervene in this matter, nor was he qualified enough to intervene. In front of the two old men, he could only be regarded as a junior.

This is true both in terms of age and seniority.

Gu Siwei and his mother-in-law came to the kitchen together, and the two of them started to work. Everything at home was prepared. The fresh meat was bought by Lu Yihui in the morning. As for the bacon and other things, Gu Siwei naturally brought it. .

Let’s cook the pork liver bought in the morning first, and then go ahead with the sausages that Gu Siwei stuffed with us. I also cut a plate of Cantonese-style sausages bought from the Hong Kong market today.

Needless to say, tomatoes mixed with sugar and peanuts in salted water are must-have dishes on the wine table.

In addition, a duck is stewed in a pot, a chicken is stir-fried, and a plate of braised pork is added. This dish is complete.

When it was time to eat, there were eight dishes on the table, which was pretty good at this point.

“Cantonese style sausage!”

Zhu Shiming picked up the chopsticks and ran towards the Cantonese sausage. He took a chopstick and put it in his mouth and started eating. The more he chewed, the more he frowned.

Gu Siwei thought something was wrong, that there was something wrong with his intestines, so he kept asking: "What's wrong?"

Zhu Shiming stretched out his chopsticks, tapped the intestines on the plate, and said: "This seems to be the saliva of a shop in Temple Street, Hong Kong City. I lived there for a while before liberation...".

I am!

Gu Siwei couldn't help but was stunned, because he really bought this sausage from that place. Of course Gu Siwei didn't have any taste preference, but people said that his Cantonese-style sausage was made with special characteristics, and it was not as sweet as many Cantonese-style sausages. So Gu Siwei went and bought some. When he tasted it, it turned out that it didn't have much sweetness, and it was close to the intestines from the north. So Gu Siwei bought some, threw them in the space and brought them over.

Who would have thought that the old man’s mouth would be so full of food!

He probably hadn't been to Hong Kong for more than ten years, but he actually remembered the taste and tasted it in one bite.

After hearing this, Xu Congwen picked up a chopstick and put it in his mouth for a taste: "What is Cantonese sausage? It's just a normal northern sausage. It looks like it was made by Gu Siwei himself, and the taste is average."

After hearing this, Zhu Shiming also felt that there was something wrong with his sense of taste. He shook his head and said with a smile: "Maybe it's because I've been missing my relatives over there a little bit during this time."

"Do you have any relatives there?" Gu Siwei was a bit gossipy.

Zhu Shiming said: "My uncle is over there."

"His uncle was very powerful before, but he was very powerful with Lao Chang," Xu Congwen said with a smile.

Zhu Shiming didn't have any explanation here. He shook his head with a smile, continued to pick up the Cantonese sausage, put it in his mouth and tasted it slowly.

As the host, Hu Shunkai naturally had to toast and greet the guests with food and so on.

"Xiao Hu, please stop being formalistic. We are not outsiders here. Don't be constrained. You can eat whatever you want." Xu Congwen felt that Hu Shunkai was a little tired while eating and cared too much about him and Lao Zhu, so he asked Just do whatever he wants.

Hu Shunkai smiled and said a few polite words, then sat down and began to relax.

Xu Congwen particularly liked the braised pork on the table. He only put down his chopsticks after eating two chopsticks.

"Your braised pork is really good. I think you cook this one the best. It's a pity that you're not motivated. If you were, I'd introduce you to our workplace cafeteria and wait until you have the chance to change your style in a few years." Not good?" Xu Congwen laughed.

Gu Siwei said: "You also said you wanted me to be a technician, but now I am a cook. How dare I become a braised pork technician in the end?"

Gu Siwei and Xu Congwen made a little joke.

"What technician is not a technician?" Xu Congwen was also happy.

Gu Siwei said: "When it comes to making this, I'm really not the best. There is someone in our village who can do it better than me. He is a craft passed down from his ancestors."

When Zhu Shiming heard this, he said, "surnamed Zhao?"

"You also know?" Gu Siwei asked happily.

"Other than Zhao Shide, I can't think of anyone else who can do better than you around here," Zhu Shiming said.

"It's not him, it's his son Zhao Fangming."

Having said this, Gu Siwei remembered it and said to Xu Congwen: "Why don't you help him and let him go to your canteen."

"You can do it, but he can't," Xu Congwen said seriously.

Gu Siwei said: "As long as there is a place to eat, the establishment is not urgent."

Gu Siwei didn't know that Xu Congwen was probably asking him to help Zhao Fangming with the establishment. Getting such a quota at this time was equivalent to saving half a life. How could Xu Congwen put such a big investment into someone he didn't know?

Even if you are really good at making braised pork, it also depends on your character. If your character is not good, then it goes without saying.

"If Zhao Shide's son was really good, with his 60-70% level, then the braised pork in the cafeteria wouldn't smell like pig," Zhu Shiming said with a smile.

"You don't want workers to make up those who can talk about it." Xu Congwen didn't say it to death.

Gu Siwei knew that Xu Congwen was moved.

"Okay, I'll let him find you when I get back this time. If you look past him, he will stay. If you don't look past him, then send him back again. Whether it works or not depends on his fate," Gu Siwei said.

Xu Congwen didn't speak. It took him a while to react, "Are you waiting for me here?"

Gu Siwei said: "That's not true. You talked about the delicious braised pork. I just caught up with you."

Gu Siwei really hadn't thought about it this way before, but now it's really time to catch up.

While the three of them were having a conversation, the rest of the people kept their ears straight up in silence, and no one else could interrupt. Hu Yanming was sitting at the table, and he couldn't interrupt and didn't dare to interrupt. He knew that he was like this Teacher Xu has a bad temper.

During this meal, the prospective son-in-law had a conversation with the matchmaker. The father-in-law and his wife were watching from the side, and neither of them had a chance to speak. It was quite interesting that no one had any objections.
