Since entering the winter, Wen Erye began to run to the Li family's Zhuangzi in the suburbs of Beijing one by one, to the accounts, to look at the crops, and to discuss the arrangements for next year with the head of the village.
Second Master Wen especially likes this errand, he rushes to Zhuangzi early in the morning every day, arrives in Zhuangzi, looks at this and that, squats in the field, and chats about crops with tenants and Zhuangtou smoking dry cigarettes, and chatting very happily when he returns.
On this day, it was not until the sun was setting in the west that Wen Erye came out of the Zhuangzi, and when he rushed back to Wisteria Villa, it was already dark, and he got out of the car in the second gate.
Mrs.
Zhang's family, where it should be strict, where it should be relaxed, has always been extremely generous and generous, such as Xiaoyou's sisterhood.
In the wing room of the big kitchen, there is a dinner party every three or five days, and Second Master Wen always feels that this Wisteria Villa has gone from the first to the last rough girl, but I am afraid that everyone has gone to the small table around the small table in that side room and a group of people have eaten and drunk happily.
These gatherings to eat and drink, the little proprietor is Xiao You, the big proprietor is Mrs.
Zhang, Xiao You is the little proprietor because the food is made by her own hands, and the big proprietor is Mrs.
Zhang, because all the ingredients and even the wine are directly taken from the warehouse of the big kitchen.
Wen Erye asked Mama Wan about this, Mama Wan laughed at him for being rare and strange, saying that there is a west wing in the big kitchen, and the small kitchen behind the garden that is used when preparing banquets and flowers is also used in such a field, and there are also in the big garage in the front yard, Mrs. said, it's okay, I'm tired and annoyed, I have been wronged, what is the grievance, or what is going on at home, a few people who can get together, eat and drink, talk and talk to untie one or two, there is no knot that cannot be untied, just the same, there is no messenger who is allowed to drink, and the next day is the first shift.
Don't drink alcohol on the first day.
Second Master Wen pondered for a while, and was amazed, isn't this the so-called Zhang Youchi, in fact, there is not only Zhang Youchi, not to mention those little girls, it is him, remembering that in the big kitchen wing, he was crowded in the middle of a group of little girls, talking and laughing, drinking and half drunk, this warm and relaxing joy, when I think about it, my heart is warm and there is a smile on my face, he feels that this Wisteria Villa is like home, and the small room is one of the most important parts of the home.
It is also said that although it has only been more than half a year, his feelings for Wisteria Villa and the Li family are no different from his own family.
Second Master Wen plunged into the big kitchen, raised his eyes and saw the brightly lit west wing, and his steps were faster.
"Xiaoyou, do you have anything to eat?"
There were still seven or eight steps away from the side room, and Second Master Wen raised his voice and shouted.
"The second master is back, why are you inviting in so late, the hot pot has just been served, and I haven't eaten it yet, I'll go get you a few more."
Xiao You opened the curtain and let the second master of Jinwen be.
In the house, Qiu Mei, Qing Ju and Xia Xian hurriedly stood up, moved chairs and chairs, and placed pots and chopsticks.
Second Master Wen rubbed his hands happily, sat down on the edge of the kang that he had dedicated to, picked up the cup first, motioned to Qiu Mei to pour him wine, raised it and sniffed it, squinted his eyes with satisfaction, raised his head and drank in, put down the cup, and sighed softly, "Orange peel is in this wine."
"And the sugar."
Qingju replied with a smile: "Sister Xia Xian likes to drink sweet wine, and I also think that with sugar, it is sweet and delicious." ” "I'll just say how mottled this wine is, your wife's house is full of good wine, and you two little girls are ruined."
Second Master Wen looked pity.
"I'll give the second master another pot of warmth."
Qiu Mei was about to jump off the kang, but Second Master Wen hurriedly stopped her, "No, no, that's it, it's a waste, but the taste is really good, I'll drink this, that's what kind of soup is winter bamboo shoots and salted pork tube bone soup, that's it, give me a bowl and go to the cold." ” Second Master Wen drank most of the bowl of soup, Xiao You came in with a food box, and took out a plate full of white-cut meat, a small plate of sesame oil and mud, a plate of spiced donkey meat, a large bowl of boiled spicy sheep's trotters, and finally, put seven or eight children's fist-sized, frozen crab roe lion heads on the warm pot.
"Pour wine and pour wine" Wen Erye's index finger moved, and he drank the soup in two sips, Xia Xian hurriedly filled him with hot rice wine, Wen Erye stuffed a mouthful of white cut meat, drank a sip of hot rice wine, pinched a few pieces of spiced donkey meat, drank another sip of hot wine, picked up a sheep's hoof again, and vaguely signaled to the four of them while eating, "You guys don't care about me." ” Qiu Mei poured another pot of wine, added ginger and orange peel and sugar to warm, several people are used to it, except for pouring wine for Wen Erye from time to time, nothing else really cares about him, the four of them eat the vegetarian dishes in the warm pot slowly, except for Qiu Mei, they are all gossiping with a small sip of wine.
Only Qiu Mei, who is more heroic than Second Master Wen, looks up for a glass, and then looks up for another glass.
"Qiu Mei is this" Second Master Wen watched Qiu Mei drink three or four cups in a row, paused his hand that kept stuffing meat into his mouth, looked at Xiao You and asked.
"It's okay, the second master doesn't have to worry about it."
Xiao You said that it was fine, but the tone and the look on his face were obviously something.
Second Master Wen ate quickly, and after a while, he was already half-full, slowed down, and looked at the three people who were gossiping about something not salty or light, as well as Qiu Mei, who was silent and only cared about drinking, frowned, thought for a moment, spread his brows, and asked with understanding: "This morning, it seems that I heard that Huzhou's New Year's goods have been delivered."
"Hmm.
Alas, the second master is really" Xiao You looked at the second master Wen, and sighed, and sighed.
"What's the matter, your cousin doesn't want to marry you, but he has already made a marriage," Second Master Wen looked at Qiu Mei and asked.
"I didn't get married, and I didn't say I didn't want to."
Qingju replied for Qiu Mei.
"The New Year's goods were sent by Ning Jiang, Ning Hai's cousin, Ning Lao's shopkeeper, and Ning Lao's shopkeeper specially sent him away, just to talk about Qiu Mei's cousin.
Ning Jiang and Qiumei's cousin read together, saying that Qiumei's cousin has been studying very hard for more than a year, and every day in addition to reading is reading, and the county school gentleman likes him very much, saying that Qiumei's cousin can not be admitted to the Jinshi dare not say, but a person is stable. ” "That's good."
Second Master Wen praised in his mouth, but his heart sank, the better it is, the worse things will be.
"After the Chongyang Festival this year, Master Tao, a wealthy businessman in Huzhou, took a fancy to Qiu Mei's cousin."
Qingju looked at Qiu Mei, saw that she hung her head and didn't speak, sighed, and continued to speak
