Feng Shui Anecdote

Chapter 211 The Weird Test
"You Ming!! Didn't the guest say that he didn't eat? Hurry up and scoop up the pig food in the pot and cook!" The old man shouted to You Ming.

The line friend Ming heard the words, nodded with a smile, and then said in response: "Good!"

"Three guests, please sit down! Please sit down!!!" the old man said to us.

Xian’s house doesn’t look rich. There is a fire pit where we are. There are charcoal fires burning in the fire pit, and some small wooden benches are placed around the charcoal fire.

We surrounded the charcoal fire and sat down on small wooden benches.

"Old man!! Please forgive the junior for being abrupt, we are here for the dream silkworm, we want to know something about the dream silkworm!!" I said respectfully to the old man.

"Hehe, I heard it at the door just now! I heard it!! Don't worry! Don't worry! Eat first, then talk after eating!" the old man said with a haha.

Seeing that the old man was unwilling to talk about this issue, I had no choice but to give up.

Dali opened his mouth aside, as if he wanted to ask something, but he still looked at me, and then swallowed the words that came into his mouth.

Because I told him not to talk nonsense.

Not far from the fire pit, there is a half-person-high mud stove with a big pot on it!At this time, there was a large pot of pig food in the pot, which was still steaming.

Then, I saw Xian Youming's daughter-in-law came, carrying two wooden barrels, and then scooped all the pig food in the cauldron into the wooden barrels with a wooden ladle.

Then, she mixed half a pot of water into the pot, picked up a wooden plank from the side of the stove and put it on top of the cauldron.

At this time, Xian Youming brought a pot of potatoes in a wooden pot.The potatoes looked like they had been washed, but they weren't cleaned, and there were dirt in many places.

Didn't you tell us to cook for us?Why are you still cooking potatoes?Those potatoes weren't boiled for us, were they?
That's the pot for cooking pig food. I just scooped up the pig food in the pot and didn't even wash the pot. It can't be cooked for us.

I thought to myself.

"Da da da!!" Xian Youming's daughter-in-law picked up the potatoes and began to cut them into four pieces with two knives, and then scraped the potatoes into the pot with the kitchen knife in her hand.

His daughter-in-law picked up the potatoes and started cutting them skillfully. After a while, she cut all the potatoes into the pot.

"Guests, sit down for a while, I'm going to a hut!!" The old man stood up, said to us, and then left straight away.

People said they were going to the latrine, so I couldn't stop them, so I had no choice but to say: "Please go!"

And Xian Youming's daughter-in-law started to add firewood to the earthen stove, and the whole room was filled with smoke in a short time, which made me cry.

Fortunately, after a while, after the fire ignited, the smoke was not so loud.

We sat for over half an hour while the pot of potatoes was being served.

"Dinner is ready!" Line friend Ming shouted to us, and then a pot of potatoes was placed on a dilapidated wooden table next to the heated kang.

"Let's eat!!" Line friend Ming said to us.

I will go!Is it really for us to eat?

This... this... do they usually eat this?
But even if you eat this, you should wash the pot first!Even if you don’t wash it, then don’t cut the potatoes, put them in and cook them whole, and then we pick them up and peel them to eat, it’s better!

After being cut open and cooked, this... this really makes people feel a little uncomfortable.

Although I was very hungry, when I saw something like this, I suddenly felt that I lost my appetite.But do as the Romans do, I stood up and sat down on the stool by the table.

Dali also came over, eagerly picked up the chopsticks on the table, then forked a piece of potato with the chopsticks, dipped it in a bowl of chili noodles on the table, and then gnawed it.

I wasn't hypocritical either, so I picked up a piece of potato with chopsticks, dipped it in chili noodles and ate it.

Each place has its own customs, and each family has its own difficulties, and everyone brings them up, so it’s not good if you don’t eat them!Dali can eat it, why can't I eat it?

Cheng Tiandou's face was very calm, he also picked up the chopsticks, then forked the potatoes in the basin, dipped them in the chili noodles and ate them.

"Oh, all the guests, I'm sorry! We are poor here, and we usually eat like this!" Xian Youming said to us.

"It's okay! It's okay, this is delicious!" Dali said while eating.

He had finished one piece, then forked another and started eating.

I don't know if it's because I'm too hungry or what, but after I took two bites, I found that the potatoes were not so unpalatable, so I ate them with big mouthfuls.

Seeing that Dali and I started eating, Cheng Tiandou smiled at us.

Looking at Cheng Tiandou's smile, I found it very strange that he smiled very meaningfully.It's just that I don't know what he's laughing at.

"Squeak!!" At this moment, the wooden door slammed, and then the old man just now, that is, Xian Youming's father, came back.

"Ah!!! You Ming Xian, come here!" The old man watched us eating, and he yelled at You Ming Xian.

Then I saw him walking to the table, pointing at the potatoes we were eating and yelling at the line friend Ming: "You ignorant child, this is what we usually eat. After I let you cook it, we Eat tomorrow, how do you use these to entertain guests!"

"Ah! I'm sorry! It's my fault! My fault!" the line friend said to us with a smile.

"It's time to take it!! Take it! Take it!" the old man yelled with a very angry look.

Then he shouted to Xian Youming's daughter-in-law: "Hurry up and get the food from your fifth aunt's house!!"

Then, like a magic trick, the family quickly took away all the potatoes and dipping water on the table. After the door opened, each person shuttled back and forth, each carrying a plate of dishes. After a while, the table just now Full of dishes.

Chicken, duck, fish, everything!
Looking at the good dishes on the table, I was a little dumbfounded.

This... Look at it, these dishes are freshly prepared and still steaming.

"I'm sorry! Ladies and gentlemen, if I missed a word, this boy Youming will lose his temper! I'm sorry! I'm sorry!" The old man kept apologizing to us.

Cheng Tiandou looked at us and laughed.

Now I finally understand what this all day long smile means.

Dare to feel that all this is a test! ! !
Those potatoes they did it on purpose in front of us.

Deliberately scooping up the pig food in the pot in front of us, deliberately making the food like that in front of us.

All of this depends on whether we eat or not!
If we don't eat those potatoes before, then these delicious chicken, duck and fish meat will definitely not appear.

And the things we want to ask will be out of play.

Hey... Fortunately, I ate it. Although I only ate one piece, they saw that I ate it, and they achieved the purpose of the test.

not bad!It's a good thing I'm not picky, otherwise it would really be over.

"Come! Eat! Eat!!!" The old man's attitude towards us is much better now, with unusual enthusiasm.

When Dali saw so many delicious food, he was even more motivated, so he was not polite, picked up a sauced elbow with chopsticks and started to eat it.

"Haha! Haha! Right! Young man, this is how you should eat!!" Seeing Dali eating, the old man smiled with satisfaction.

He picked up the chopsticks, picked up several large pieces of beef and put them into the bowl in front of me.

It seems that people here like to eat meat with big mouthfuls and drink in big bowls, so I am not polite, I picked up the beef in the bowl and stuffed it into my mouth.

I was already hungry, but when so many delicious dishes came up, I was naturally so greedy that I was drooling.

"Do you want some wine?" The old man asked me.

"I can't, I don't know how to drink!" I replied to the old man.

"This is our home-brewed rice wine, it's delicious! Try it!" The old man raised an earthen jar and said.

I nodded and said, "Come on then!"

The old man poured me half a bowl with a smile, and said to me, "Come, have a taste!"

I picked up the bowl and looked at it. The wine in this bowl was the same as rice soup, white and thick.So, with the mentality of trying it, I took a sip.

Ok! !It's delicious, not much alcohol, sweet!
Very easy to swallow, just like drinking rice soup.

"Is it good?" the old man asked me.

I nodded and drank the wine in the bowl.

"Do you want some more?" The old man asked me with a smile.

This thing is really good. I ate something greasy and drank it very smoothly. I nodded and replied: "Okay, let's have some more!"

So, the old man poured me another bowl.

He also poured Dali a bowl.

In this way, we ate meat with big mouthfuls and drank with big bowls.

Dali drank a total of seven bowls, and I drank five bowls.

Cheng Tiandou also persuaded us, telling us to drink less, saying that the wine is very strong.

But I didn't realize how strong the wine was!It didn't taste as high as the alcohol content of beer, so we didn't care and drank it casually.

After drinking this wine, I seem to have a very good appetite. We ate a lot of chicken, duck and fish.

However, how we got off the table I don't remember.

Anyway, I just remember falling asleep while eating.

When I woke up, I checked the time, it was past 8 o'clock!

not bad!So, I got up, opened the door and took a look.

what!Why is it past eight o'clock and it's still dark?It should be dawn! ! ?

"Get up!!!" As soon as I came out, the old man greeted me with a smile.

"Old man, why is it past eight o'clock and it's not yet dawn!?" I asked the old man.

"Haha, it's not that it's still dark, it's getting dark again!!!" The old man said to me with a smile.

ah? ?It's dark again? ?
Meaning I slept all day? ? ?
