Chapter 136 This Villager is Nice
In the smoky kitchen, the yellow sauce three-cup chicken was bubbling in the pot. The chicken was cut into pieces and mixed with dried chilies, which looked attractive in color. A faint smell of rice wine wafted out, exuding a charming aroma.
After Lan Xin gutted the grass carp and cleaned it, she used another pan to fry the fish on both sides until golden brown. She then poured a bowl of sauce made from a mixture of soy sauce, potato starch, and water over the fish and simmered it together. She then added a little wine to enhance the flavor and remove the fishy smell. This dish of stir-fried fish from southern Jiangxi was golden in color, tender, smooth, and spicy.
Old Mrs. Lan also cut a large piece of bacon from Old Lan's house. This was a treasure that had been hidden in the family for a long time.
Lan Xin cleaned the bacon, cut it into thin slices, and fried it with garlic sprouts. The thinly sliced bacon was transparent, with a charcoal smoky flavor, and looked very tempting when paired with the green garlic sprouts.
Originally, outside Lan Xin's house, there was a bunch of children making a noise, all of them were exclaiming in amazement about a pure black car that could reflect people's shadows and looked particularly expensive.
Before this, they had never even seen such a beautiful car, let alone sat in it. Now when they saw it, they were all surprised.
Besides, Zhao Qingfeng was not a very serious person, and he was kind enough to let the kids get in the car and take a ride or two, which made the kids very happy, and they all jumped up and down.
This brand new car attracted not only children, but also the older men in the village. When they heard that there was a car in their remote Lanjia Village, they were all attracted and became fascinated with it at first sight.
However, Zhao Qingfeng was not as patient with them as he was with children. He only let them watch and did not let them sit and try.
As a result, there were circles of people outside Lan Xin's yard, watching the cars. It was so crowded that no one could get through. They kept talking about cars and occasionally muttered a few words, saying that the guests at Lan Xin's house were eating so well and that the aroma of stewed meat could be smelled so early.
It was not until Lan Xin started cooking that all sorts of fragrant and overbearing aromas wafted out from the kitchen, making the onlookers drool one after another and cursing in their hearts.
There are only a few guests coming, and it's not a festival. Is it necessary to prepare so many dishes, chicken and fish? The delicious smell makes their stomachs churn.
Adults can still tolerate it, but the children next to them can't help it. When they smell such a fragrant smell, they can't help but look for their parents.
"Mom, I want to eat meat too."
He kept shouting and making a fuss, which made his parents so angry that they slapped him in the face.
"What kind of meat are you eating? You look like a big chicken to me."
With a cry of "Wow", the child immediately started rolling on the ground and crying loudly.
One child started crying, and the other children couldn't help but start sobbing and shouting that they wanted to eat meat.
Their parents actually wanted to say that if they wanted to eat meat, they could go to Lan Xin's house and ask her for permission.
But since Lan Xin's family had guests, they knew they couldn't go to their house and cause trouble. Besides, the guests had cars, and they might be big bosses with factories.
If he had business for Lan Xin to run, would Lan Xin still treat the villagers badly? If she made them blush, they would lose their business and make no money. They would be so guilty that they would die, and the spit of other people in the village would drown them.
Meat, meat, meat, wouldn’t it be nice to wait for Lan Xin to get them to make money together so that you can buy meat for yourself? You have to be greedy and ruin the opportunity.
I have to say, it was a good move by Lan Xin to introduce jobs to the villagers as soon as she came back, allowing them to make a lot of money.
Now, whether the villagers like Lan Xin or hate her, they will not do anything to offend her openly. After all, she can give them a job paying five dollars a day just by raising her hand.
For the sake of these five dollars, I must not offend her at all and I must also protect Lan Xin's reputation.
Thinking of this, the child was still rolling on the ground, and his parents simply grabbed the child by the waist and carried him back home.
Before leaving, he did not forget to greet Zhao Qingfeng with a smile: "I'm sorry, the child is immature, please don't be offended."
Other parents followed suit. In order to prevent their children from rolling on the ground in embarrassment, they simply dragged their children away. Those who were disobedient were simply carried on their backs. Zhao Qingfeng was stunned by the sight.
Zhao Yuxia, who came over when she heard the noise, was also stunned.
"The people in this village are quite polite."
Even though they live in the city, there are also rich people in the city. Take the neighbors next door for example. They are obviously not short of money, but as soon as they smell the aroma of meat from their house, the children there immediately start rolling on the ground to ask for some.
The adults didn't stop or teach them anything, and they even brought the child to knock on the door, saying that the child was still a child, and what was wrong with giving him a piece of meat? Their family was so rich, but they were still so stingy that they didn't even want to give him a piece of meat.
Having said that, I don’t even want to give it to you anymore.
It would be fine if it happened once or twice, but it happened every time, and the area around their house was so chaotic that every household had to cook meat secretly with doors and windows closed.
Zhao Yuxia originally looked down on rural people, but when she suddenly saw such a polite rural person, her three views were completely refreshed.
“The people in this village are really nice.”
"Yes." Zhao Qingfeng nodded.
Zhao Yuxia said with a smile on her face: "Isn't there a Sanqing Mountain or something nearby? You can come here to play when you have time. If it's too late, you can rent a room in the village to rest. Isn't this what you young people often call traveling?"
The people of Lanjia Village gave her a good feeling, so Zhao Yuxia was happy to stay here for a few days and experience the rural life.
"That's great. Now that we're in Lanjia Village, Sister Lan Xin will definitely treat us to a meal. I'm really hungry after smelling this aroma."
Ah Qing touched his rumbling stomach and said that he had already planned when to come and visit.
"That's a good idea." Zhao Qingfeng said with a laugh.
After the dishes were ready, we started to eat lunch. There were eight courses in total and Lan Xin was not vague at all.
Everyone was very satisfied with the meal, and chefs Lan Xin and Chen Baoni also felt a sense of accomplishment.
After lunch, everyone sat in the yard and chatted. Lan Xin also asked Zhao Qingfeng about the situation of the soda factory in the city.
What a coincidence! Aqing's brother happened to work in a soda factory in the city. When he heard that Lan Xin wanted soda, he immediately promised her that he would ask his brother to give her a preferential price and deliver the soda to her door.
What an unexpected surprise.
Lan Xin clapped her hands repeatedly. With this soda, they would have no trouble selling their tea eggs.
Ah Qing at the side added hesitantly, "What are you talking about? You don't need to thank me or anything. Just give me some tea eggs."
"Not many, five will do."
After saying this, his face turned red with embarrassment. He was really embarrassed about eating and taking things at the same time.
But he really wanted to take this delicious tea egg back home for his family to try.
"Don't even mention five, ten will be fine. If you like, just bring more." Lan Xin said with a smile.
She had originally made a lot of tea eggs just to entertain the guests. After all, they brought so many large and small bags of expensive-looking gifts, and she didn't have anything valuable to give them in return.
It would be too stingy to just give a basket of vegetables. After thinking about it, Lan Xin decided to cook some more tea eggs as a return gift.
