You're urging me to get married just for the sake of a feast?

As soon as the car stopped, Chen Yuan got out and greeted the villagers.

"Uncle, aunt... I'm sorry to bother you today."

"No, why bother? When we think about eating the banquet dishes you made, we feel full of energy."

"Yes, it's just to move these things up the mountain. It's a piece of cake. As long as we can eat the banquet dishes you made, everything is worth it."

The villagers were all polite and their smiles were very sincere.

Chen Yuan was also very grateful, but seeing that it was getting late, he didn't say any polite words. Everyone moved things under the car together, and then asked someone to move the things up the mountain.

Nowadays, there are fewer and fewer young people in the countryside, and most of the people who stay in the village are elderly people over 40 or 50 years old.

However, don't look at these people's age.

But when it comes to work, they are not vague at all.

Because of frequent work, they are stronger than young people, and it is not a problem to carry one or two hundred kilograms on their shoulders.

As soon as the things were unloaded from the car, some villagers carried the things up the mountain.

"Uncle, don't carry so many at once, you will hurt your waist."

At this time, a dark-skinned farmer actually carried three round tabletops on his shoulders.

Seeing this scene, Chen Yuan hurriedly reminded him.

It's not easy to go on the road. This uncle actually carried three tables, which scared Chen Yuan.

Others carried one or two, but this uncle carried three directly.

If there is any mishap, Chen Yuan can't afford to pay.

"Chen Yuan, don't underestimate your uncle, this is nothing, he can carry more than 200 kilograms on his shoulders."

With that, the uncle carried the table on his shoulders and walked away without looking back, leaving behind a back like a mountain.

This back represents too many figures of our fathers.

...

After moving back and forth several times, he finally put all the things he needed at the foot of the mountain.

Chen Yuan and his team also joined the moving team.

Among the "four-man team" of Chen Village (Chen An went to Haicheng City and was not there), only Heizi could carry more things on his shoulders.

After all, this guy has been working with his parents at home for many years and is used to it.

Like Chen Yuan and Mo Shanniu, they look so big and strong.

But they are not good at shoulder work. They have worked outside for so many years and have never done farm work at home. They don't know how to use the strength of their shoulders.

I saw Heizi carrying two large baskets on a shoulder pole. The baskets were full of bowls and chopsticks, which were used for the big feast tomorrow.

Chen Yuan and his team also moved some things up the mountain.

The mountain road was too rugged. Sometimes it was difficult to walk, let alone carry things.

Chen Yuan carried things in his hands and climbed up. He was so tired that he was out of breath. He really admired Heizi now.

This guy is like an animal, carrying a load of 100 to 200 kilograms on his shoulders, and he can still act like nothing happened. He is really amazing.

"Huh... I can't do it anymore. I'm going to die."

Today, the scholar He Zhifeng also followed Chen Yuan and others to move things, but he felt exhausted halfway through.

It was really too tiring and a bit too much.

Although He Zhifeng's hometown is also in the countryside, he has been studying in the city. After graduation, he worked in a big city and has never done any farm work.

So he felt exhausted after moving some things up the mountain.

"Senior He, can you do it? If not, give me those things."

Mo Shaniu looked at He Zhifeng, who was exhausted, with an embarrassed expression on his face.

He didn't expect that he would make everyone so tired by hosting a banquet at home. He really felt a little sorry.

Especially when he saw He Zhifeng, a friend from another province, so tired, Mo Shaniu wanted to help him.

"It's okay, brother, I can do it."

How can a man say no? In front of the junior school girl he likes, he has to do it even if he can't.

As he said that, He Zhifeng gritted his teeth and continued to insist

"Huh..."

Finally climbed up the mountain, He Zhifeng felt his feet trembling, and breathed heavily from his mouth.

Although he was very tired, he couldn't act too cowardly, otherwise he would be laughed at.

Mo Shaniu took mineral water and distributed it to everyone, and asked everyone to stay here for dinner.

Chen Yuan also said that he would cook dinner.

Everyone was tired from moving things, and when they heard that Chen Yuan was going to cook dinner for them, they were reluctant to leave.

Anyway, there was nothing to do when they went back, so they might as well have a meal at Lao Mo's house.

After all, this was Chen Yuan's dish, and it was usually not available.

However, Chen Yuan planned to prepare the dishes for tomorrow's banquet before cooking the dishes to be eaten in the evening.

After all, it takes time to prepare pork elbows, braised pork, braised pork, mutton broth, etc.

After cooking, put it on the fire and stew it, then you can start to cook the dishes to be eaten tonight.

The uncles and aunts who helped to carry things up the mountain just now were not idle either. They started to help with the ingredients.

Those who cut vegetables, wash vegetables, peel garlic, these uncles and aunts are very diligent and rush to work.

Chen Yuan just needs to grasp the overall direction, which is much easier.

Process the elbow and stew it in a big pot.

Cook what needs to be boiled, fry what needs to be fried, and braise the braised beef in advance.

Some braised dishes must be soaked in brine for one night to be more flavorful and more refreshing and delicious.

After tomorrow's banquet was prepared, Chen Yuan also stretched his waist and prepared to cook the dishes to be eaten tonight.

At this time, the fragrance of the banquet dishes was everywhere, even at the foot of the mountain, the villagers who were closer could smell it.

The people in the village were talking about the banquet held by Lao Mo's family and had their own opinions on it.

Now, under a big tree in Chen Village, several people gathered together to discuss Lao Mo's banquet for the sow.

"I've seen so much. This is the first time I've seen a banquet held for a sow giving birth. Is Lao Mo crazy about money? He can do such a thing!"

"That's right, people nowadays are really good. They can do anything to collect money."

"..."

It can be seen that many people have great opinions about Lao Mo's banquet this time.

Many people think that Lao Mo is crazy about money.

How can a banquet be held for a sow giving birth? This is simply out of the ordinary. If this is spread, people in the surrounding villages will probably laugh at their Chen Village.

"Are you going to the banquet tomorrow?"

"Yes, of course. It's the first time that Lao Mo has held a banquet in so many years. How can I not go? I still owe him money."

"That's right. Lao Mo also gave money to the villagers for weddings and funerals. He has never held a banquet before. What's wrong with holding a banquet for a sow? I think it's good. You don't know that the sow gave birth to 13 piglets. This is the first time in our Chen Village."

"This is the first time I heard that a sow gave birth to so many piglets. I have to go and see the excitement tomorrow and pray for good luck."

"I I don't want to point it out to you, you are all craving for the dishes made by Master Chen. "

"You dare to say that you are not craving for the dishes made by Master Chen? Who complained at home that they haven't eaten the dishes made by Chen Yuan for a long time?"

"Hey, you, Lao Liu, don't be ignorant of the hunger of the hungry. Everyone knows that your Heizi and Master Chen are close friends. I take him wherever I go and bring you banquet dishes every time I go home. Of course you say that."

"That's right, who told me to have a good son..."

"..."

Chatting scenes like this are staged in many corners of Chen Village.

Many people are also looking forward to the banquet at Lao Mo's house tomorrow.

...

Lao Mo's house.

At this time, the lights are bright and the scene is very lively.

In the temporary kitchen, Chen Yuan is cooking, and the aroma of the dishes is everywhere, making everyone drool.

Tonight's dishes are also very rich, although some big dishes cannot be eaten now.

But those scraps and the internal organs of chickens and ducks can be used to cook.

After cleaning the chicken and duck entrails, blanch them in water and stir-fry them with the pickled vegetables made by Uncle Mo. It is definitely the best condiment for rice.

There are more than 20 people helping in the village today, plus Chen Yuan and Uncle Mo, there are almost 30 people in total.

Chen Yuan is preparing to cook three tables of dishes. As time goes by, it is now dark and the dishes are almost ready.

"Everyone is ready to eat. The dishes are ready."

Chen Yuan cooked the last dish and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Fortunately, it is very refreshing on the mountain. It feels cold now.

Hearing that it is time to eat, everyone can't hold back. Countless eyes look at the dishes on the table, and saliva is flowing down.

Especially He Zhifeng, senior student, he has been hungry for a long time.

He looked at the time. It was already 8:07 in the evening.

If he was in a big city, he would have finished eating a long time ago at this point.

He usually lives a nine-to-five life, and maintains a three-point-one-line life every day.

So now he is very hungry, especially under the temptation of these aromas, he feels like he hasn't eaten for 800 years.

Everyone seems to be hungry, and all sit down to eat.

Baji~~

The courtyard of Lao Mo's house is full of eating sounds.

Lao Mo specially killed a chicken and a duck, both of which heThe earthy taste of the chicken and wild mushrooms.

The chicken and wild mushrooms made a pot of soup, which was very delicious.

As for the native duck, Chen Yuan used it to stir-fry a beer duck with homemade konjac.

This konjac is a specialty food in An County, rich in carbohydrates and low in calories.

The inflorescence of konjac is Buddha flame flower, and the color and shape are very charming.

Those konjacs were also made by Uncle Mo himself. The production process is very complicated. Delicious food is always so hard to come by.

After freezing, the konjac will form a dense honeycomb inside, like a small sponge, which can better absorb the taste of the seasoning.

Take a bite, and the juice hidden in the konjac will splash out without reservation.

It sprays all over the mouth, which is extremely refreshing.

It is the first time that He Zhifeng has eaten this kind of honeycomb konjac. There is also konjac in their hometown, but he has never tasted this kind of frozen konjac before.

He Zhifeng picked up a piece of konjac with chopsticks. The dark brown konjac was soaked in red oil and looked shiny and full of appetite.

When he took a bite, all kinds of flavors came up at once.

The splashing juices were also extremely rich in flavor.

There was the mellow aroma of beer, the fresh aroma of spicy food, and the fragrance of native duck...

The various flavors were very layered in his mouth and not at all mixed.

"Come... drink. If you don't drink a few bottles of wine, you will be sorry for such good dishes."

"Yes, Lao Mo, come, I'll toast you a glass and wish you a big fortune this year. This sow gave birth to 13 piglets, which is a good sign."

"Thank you, come, let's drink together, don't be polite, you all have to come to the main banquet tomorrow."

"Of course, the dishes made by Master Chen are so delicious."

Being able to eat the dishes made by Chen Yuan is definitely the happiest thing for them.

"It's so delicious..."

The dishes tonight are also very rich, with seven or eight dishes, and the portion of each dish is also sufficient.

These people have been busy for a long time today, and their stomachs are empty.

At this time, there is no sound of people eating or chatting at the three tables.

This atmosphere is not right. If everyone gets together in the past, they will drink and eat meat, talk and laugh, and be very noisy.

But today everyone went to eat vegetables, and fewer people drank.

If the stomach is filled with wine, where is the room for vegetables?

They understand it.

These dishes are simply delicacies in the world for them.

This kind of delicacy in the world is not available every time.

"I'm so full~~ It's really too full."

Unconsciously, the night is getting darker and darker.

After everyone finished eating, they touched their stomachs and stood up with difficulty.

Tonight, I was really full. I haven't eaten so happily for a long time.

Each of them touched their bulging bellies, as if they were pregnant, and it was difficult to walk.

Fortunately, those aunties were still very reserved, and when they ate, they left some space for their bellies.

Otherwise, this woman with a big belly and old age would definitely be laughed at if people saw it.

The women were very diligent, and they put down their bowls and went to work.

"Uncle Mo, you have to watch those dishes tonight, don't let wild cats and dogs steal them. If there is nothing else, I will go back first."

After saying that, Chen Yuan also planned to go home, because he had to get up early to work tomorrow.

There was nothing else to do now, and those elbows and braised meat were slowly stewed in the pot over a low fire.

There was no need to add any firewood at this time, just rely on the residual fire in the stove.

"It's okay, you can go back without worry, there are two people here, me and Nianniu, we can take turns to watch."

Uncle Mo was really happy tonight, their family hadn't been so lively for a long time.

Thinking that more people will come to the main banquet tomorrow, Uncle Lao Mo was very happy.

"Then Lao Mo, if there is nothing else, we will go back and come to help tomorrow."

The helpers who came to help today saw that Chen Yuan and others were leaving, so they decided to leave too.

They thought about coming to help tomorrow.
