Druid's Country Retirement

Chapter 209 Chapter 209
Three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.

Shan Xing and Chun Miao ate for a while and then left to chat. Anna sat with the children and stole a dish from the table from time to time.

Li Hongbing put down his wine bowl, "Master Su, I plan to hold a banquet in the village on the 22nd, do you think I have time?"

Master Su paused, "I don't know how much Li Dong's family bought for one seat?"

Li Hongbing extended a six-sign with a smile.

600!

Master Su's expression brightened.

A table of 600 yuan is considered a big banquet in the forest area. Usually, people in the forest area hold a banquet at one or two hundred, with eight dishes and four bowls.

"Twenty dishes, ten bowls. I'll take over the job. I don't know how many tables I will serve."

How many seats!
Li Hongbing thought for a moment.

There are more than a hundred people in the village, old and young, together with Sun Qiang, Wang Hai's engineering team, Zhao Fu's engineering team, father, mother, eldest sister and second sister, and the family members of patients who live in the village to see a doctor. There are 200 people.

"Master Su, you count as 200 seats, two meals at noon in two days, and you pack the ingredients, kitchen help, tables and benches together, the amount will be calculated directly, and Sanpao will give you a 1 deposit first, is it appropriate? "

Banquet for 200 people, two meals.

A table of eight people is 25 seats, and the banquet alone costs 3 yuan. According to the profit of rural banquets, this trip will at least make half of the profit, and then turn a corner.

Because I have a channel to buy goods, and I can get the best price where I buy all the year round, especially the banquets I have been doing for many years, it is cheaper than many people to buy things.

Earn 2 a trip.

This deal is rare once in ten years.

Master Su couldn't hide the excitement in his heart, picked up the wine bowl on the table and drank it all in one gulp, "Master Li, if you have a hundred hearts, I promise to make it beautiful for you, and there will be no faults."

Li Hongbing also picked up his bowl and took a sip in return.

Had lunch at noon.

Time is running out, the task is urgent, the banquet will be held the day after tomorrow, the menu must be set today, and the ingredients should be bought in advance. Master Su will leave after eating.

Seeing the messy table, Li Hongbing raised his eyebrows, and said to the children who were full.

"You are responsible for clearing the table, and you should exercise properly after eating and drinking, which is good for your health."

After the scene of the market in the morning, the children have now respected Li Hongbing's words as an imperial decree.

Just clear the table.

The thirteen children, those who served the dishes, those who took the bowls, all worked hard one by one.

At this time.

The alcohol-smelling San Pao said vaguely, "Brother, let me tell you something, don't be angry!"

"Say!"

San Pao shrank his neck and stammered, "Well, I called Boss Xu and said that on the 22nd, you will accept blind people and idiots into the family tree, and hold a banquet. Boss Xu said he will also participate, and I think he will arrive tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."

That's it!

Look at your potential.

Li Hongbing smiled calmly, "It doesn't matter, just come if you come, and he doesn't need a pair of chopsticks. Besides, the idiot saved his life, if he doesn't come, I will look down on him instead."

"By the way, there is no theater troupe in this town."

San Pao thought for a while, Yao Yao stood up slowly, "Go, I'll take you there."

……

The two wandered staggeringly in the street.

Occasionally, I met a few street runners looking at each other, said hello hastily, and hurried out of the town.

"They ate donkey horse eggs and ran outside the town to beg."

Li Hongbing naturally knew why.

Feel free to panic, watch the excitement.

After returning from the slaughterhouse, I only had a brief chat with Sanpao about the poaching gang, without going into details.

More than 300 wild animals have come to inspect so many, and it is a big hole in Songbai Town.

Paper can't contain the fire, it is estimated that this matter has already spread in Songbai Town.

Stopping and walking, the two came to a door-to-door room on the side of the street. There was a signboard of Songbai Town Cultural Station on the door. There were songs playing and some people singing operas. Anyway, it was very lively.

San Pao swaggered into the room, kicked the young man who was shouting, "Is Chang Gui here?"

The young man was not annoyed, he pointed his chin at the door of the back room, "The station master is playing with the deputy station chief!"

San Pao chuckled, and the others in the room also stopped what they were doing, giggling and gathered behind to watch the fun.

"Long noble as a dog, dare to be aboveboard."

After finishing speaking, he strode to the door of the room and kicked his leg.

boom!
The wooden door was kicked open, only to hear an exclamation from inside.

A fat-hearted woman ran out, saw the door that San Pao was kicking, and grabbed San Pao's ear with her hand.

"Die Sanpao, do you have enmity with this sect? This month, my mother has practiced it four times."

Followed by.

Another skinny man came out, looked at the grinning appearance of the three teeth, and cursed angrily.

"Tear it hard, it's like a dog, I can repair the door with my salary, if I have the ability to kick your house."

Sanpao's ears were pulled, so he immediately sobered up and begged for mercy.

"Sister, brother-in-law, take it easy, your ears are about to fall off."

The fat woman let go of her hand immediately, and cursed at the skinny man, "Kicking his door is the same as kicking my mother's door, Zhang Shouxin, you are so bold."

"Daughter-in-law, I didn't mean to speak in a hurry." The skinny man quickly explained, and when he saw a group of people in the room watching the fun, he immediately put on a straight face.

"No matter what you look at, you don't want to do a good job, do you?"

Those people were not afraid, and shouted one after another.

"Station Master, when will we pay wages? It has been delayed for three months."

"No, my family is so poor that we can't get rid of it."

"The mother-in-law said that if I don't take the money back, she will let me sleep in the pigsty."

The skinny man lost his momentum just now, and clasped his hands together, "Guys, I can't help it. I've searched for it three times. The town said that the money for the cultural station hasn't come down yet. Everyone, just wait."

At this time, San Pao suddenly said, "There is money, here comes the money."

brush!
Except for Li Hongbing, everyone in the room was staring at Sanpao like a wolf, only to shine green.

"Well, my brother is looking for an opera troupe." Sanpao hurriedly pointed to Li Hongbing, and said, "Brother Hongbing, this is my brother-in-law Zhang Shouxin, the head of the cultural station, and he is the one running the theater troupe in the town."

The God of Wealth is here! !
Zhang Shouxin showed a flattering smile in an instant, and greeted warmly, "Look at the trouble, how can you let the big brother stand, come in and sit in the room, then whoever, take out my tea."

After finishing speaking, he took Li Hongbing's arm and walked into the house, while the fat woman whispered to San Pao for a while, the contrast between the front and the back was so great that Li Hongbing was completely confused.

After sitting down.

Zhang Shouxin asked with a smile, "Where is the big brother going to set up a stage, must it be a big stage or a small stage, and sing for a few days?"

In the big stage, all members will go to battle, and they will sing three plays a day, usually starting around 07:30 in the morning, and singing more killing plays until [-]:[-] noon.It started around two o'clock in the afternoon, and sang more killing scenes until five o'clock.In the evening, singing starts at [-]:[-] and ends around ten o'clock.

Xiaotai is to produce actors according to the repertoire, and only sing the evening one every day.

My old Li's family invites the whole village to a banquet, and can you search and sing on the small stage?
Li Hongbing waved his hand, "Caogou Village, on the 22nd we will sing on stage for three consecutive days. I will take care of food, lodging, smoking and drinking."

Three days of drama!

Zhang Shouxin grinned from ear to ear. According to the rules, he would earn 4000 yuan a day for a show, and 1 yuan for three days. He also ate and smoked.

Now the cultural station salary problem can be solved.

"No problem. I'll keep it for you. It's very lively. It's just that our cultural station theater troupe pays 4000 yuan a day. Brother, see if it's suitable."

Li Hongbing nodded and had no objection to the price.

Originally, the theater troupe was invited to sing in the Dashangou, but the theater troupe refused to go, fearing that they would be raped in the corner of the mountain. In the early years, this kind of thing happened occasionally. At that time, the troupe did not dare to go into the mountain.

After negotiating about the troupe, Li Hongbing got up to leave, and San Pao had a chance to escape from the fat woman.

After leaving the cultural station, San Pao breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Hongbing was puzzled, he had never heard that he had an older sister.

San Pao sighed slightly and said, "This elder sister is a cousin from the uncle's family. Later, because of a fire, the uncle and his wife also disappeared because of the fire, so we left this lonely cousin, and my parents adopted her as their own daughter." gone."

Thunder beats true filial sons, riches make cruel people, hemp ropes are only picked at small places, and bad luck only finds poor people.

The more rural, the more miserable people.

Li Hongbing patted Three Pao's shoulders comfortingly.

The two were speechless all the way back to the business hall.

After waking up from the wine in the afternoon, Li Hongbing loaded the daily necessities he had bought into the car and greeted the children to get on the car.

Before leaving, Sanpao told Sanpao to take Chunmiao to the old house for dinner the day after tomorrow.

It was dusk when we returned to the village, and the red-hot sunset shrouded the small mountain village and lit the persimmon tree at the entrance of the village.

From a distance, I saw many people standing under the persimmon tree.

"Hey, my grandfather is waiting for me!" Tie Dan stretched his neck.

"My grandfather is here too." Scarlet.

"I saw my mother." Xiao Budian.

All of a sudden, the children in the carriage stood up one after another, waving their hands.

The villagers under the persimmon tree showed smiling faces.

Although my own children are free-range, but I can't see each other when I go out for a day, so I can't help chattering in my heart, so I simply eat and wait at the entrance of the village.

When the three-wheeled motorcycles stopped, the children took the toy guns, clothes, and schoolbags bought by their grandfather, jumped out of the car and ran to their parents and grandparents to show off.

Of course, the villagers raised their palms high, and the fall was painless. They scolded their children for being ignorant, went out to the market with the grandfather, and asked the grandfather to spend money to buy things.

Li Hongbing was not surprised by this for a long time, and there happened to be villagers there, so he talked about the feast the day after tomorrow. I believe that through their mouths, the villagers will know tonight.

Back in the village, Li Hongbing did not rush home, but went to the infirmary first.

Under the careful care of the old Guangtou and Xu Haitao, the fifth son is recovering very well. Apart from being unable to move, he can already communicate normally.

As for the old wide head.

You have to make a nest when fishing, let alone a cunning old man.

Li Hongbing found a green pumpkin and taught the old Guangtou the skill of sparrow pecking on the spot.

According to the rules of the elders, half of the teaching and teaching will be kept.

Respect old traditions.

Li Hongbing first taught Lao Guangtou how to insert needles, so that he could taste the sweetness, so that he could work better for free, and finally taught him how to withdraw needles.

This deal is a win-win situation.

The old Guangtou naturally knew Li Hongbing's thoughts in his heart, but the temptation of the sparrow pecking technique was too great, and he was too old to ignore the process of being a worker. If possible, he would like to attract more Chinese medicine practitioners from Qianjinpai. Ditch village study.

Finished with the infirmary.

Li Hongbing returns to the old house with Shan Xing and Anna.

The Maqingshi fence is 2 meters high, and the original wooden door is also replaced with an old-fashioned iron door in the countryside. The large door is used for business, and the small door is usually used for entry and exit.

The most important thing is that the video intercom that Li Hongbing wanted was installed on the door. In the future, when someone comes to the door, there is no need to shout at the throat.

Take Shan Xing and Anna through the small gate and walk through the canal to find a separate open space for parking three-wheeled motorcycles.

Other orchards, ponds, and vegetable fields have not changed from the original, but the gravel road leading to the front yard has been turned into bluestone slabs, and the surface of the slabs has been carefully carved out to prevent slipping in rainy or snowy days.

When we came to the paddy field in the front yard, the workers were still busy doing finishing work.

Starting from the old oak tree on the left, the children’s tree house, the new house of the animals, and four wooden houses, the gray tiles on the roof are layered and scattered, and on the right are the brand-new kitchen, storage room, warehouse, public latrine, public bathhouse, and behind the warehouse. There is a separate boiler room.

Shawa still sat on the steps of the main room to see the workers at work, and when he saw Li Hongbing coming home, he walked over with a cheerful smile.

"Master!"

Before Li Hongbing could speak, Anna let out a scream of joy when she saw the mushroom tree house built on the old oak tree, let go of Shan Xing's hand, climbed into the tree house along the winding stairs, stuck her little head out of the window, and looked Counting Li Hongbing.

"Dad, this is Anna's room, no one can live in it."

"It was originally built for you, so be careful not to drop it." Li Hongbing laughed.

Shawa took the initiative to walk under the old oak tree, stared up at the mushroom tree house, "Grandpa, I will watch, sister, don't wrestle."

Dahua and Xiaobai ran to the new nest, turned around, and howled happily. The new nest was not only spacious and bright, but also ventilated.

And Shanxing went to the kitchen.

The original old kitchen was built with blue bricks and yellow mud. Even in the daytime, it can only borrow light through the door. In the dark, it is only illuminated by a light bulb. After decades of use, the roof has been smoked into a thick layer. Thick patina.

Now the kitchen gorgeous makeover.

Not only is the area twice as large as before, but the outer wall has been replaced with floor-to-ceiling windows to allow plenty of light. The original stove inside has been retained, and a long table has been added, which can satisfy four people at the same time. In addition, there are In the vegetable sink, the pump directly sends the well water to the kitchen through the water pipe, so there is no need to work hard to fetch water in the future.

"How is it? Do you like it?" Li Hongbing walked behind Shan Xing.

"Yeah!" Shan Xing nodded, but didn't say anything, but her eyes couldn't hide her love for the new kitchen.

"Doctor Li, come here!"

Sun Qiang and Wang Hai walked over sweating profusely, with joy on their faces.

Originally, Li Hongbing had promised to complete the renovation of the old house tomorrow, but he did not expect the workers to be so motivated, working overtime and rushing to finish it today, so that he could have the audacity to buy an extra Guyang Pill from Dr. Li.

Li Hongbing asked the two supervisors happily, "How is it? Tomorrow is the last day for handing over the house. Is there any problem?"

"Don't worry, there is only finishing work left, and it will be finished at 12 o'clock tonight." Sun Qiang patted his chest with a bang.

Not to be outdone, Wang Hai said, "The furniture, beds, and cabinets in the new house are all installed. Now we are waiting for the home appliances to be in place. Mr. Qian has arranged for someone to deliver them to the village. It is estimated that they will arrive at 10 o'clock in the evening. I will ask the masters to work hard and install them overnight. , I can live in tomorrow.”

Li Hongbing asked suspiciously, "The new house can be lived in directly, not for a period of time."

Wang Hai quickly explained, "Don't worry, all the materials we use are E0 grade. During the construction, the ventilation is 24 hours a day, and the equipment is tested every day. You can move in at any time. If you don't believe me, I will move to the new house today. "

Li Hongbing waved his hand.

Although the two generals under the elder brother-in-law's subordinates are a bit unreliable in character, they are absolutely solid in terms of professionalism and technology.

Next, the second general Heng Ha took Li Hongbing to visit the main room.

The main room is divided into the living room, the study room on the second floor, and the two bedrooms are distributed on both sides of the living room.

The layout of the living room has not been changed, but the wires and circuits have been remodeled, and the original old light bulbs have been replaced with LED lights.

On the contrary, the master bedroom and the second bedroom have been slightly changed. The moldy walls and roof were all removed and replaced with carbonized solid wood panels.

Originally planning to renovate the toilet and bathroom, the inspection found that the log material used for the main structure of the main room turned out to be ginkgo wood, and each root was half a meter thick.

Be nice!

Although ginkgo is not a rare tree species, it is planted in nurseries all over the country, but what is the concept of growing to 50 cm thick in the wild, it takes at least 60-100 years, and each tree must meet the building standards.

This is tantamount to picking gold among gold.

Li Hongbing, who got the news, was also stunned.

I can't help but sweat for the old man.

Fortunately, no one paid much attention to the protection of animals and plants when the house was built. If it is now, let alone a 50-centimeter ginkgo tree, even if it is 10 centimeters.

then.

The refurbishment plan for the overhaul of the old house is over, and we can only start from the direction of moisture-proof and electrical circuits.
