Chen Afu smiled and said, Uncle Luo, just have lunch at my house. I will cook some of my specialty dishes and ask Uncle Luo to try them.

Manager Luo was not polite and said with a smile, Okay, I have heard from my brother Cheng and Mei Yatou that the Chen family's wife cooks well and eats well. He added, There are less people eating and drinking, so go and get Gao Lizheng, Called by Carpenter Wu, he went to Shangshui Village again and told Liu Lizheng that I was here and asked him to come and drink too. Yu Landlord of Guqiao Village, Yu Lizheng, also called them.

Chen Ming, Chen Ye and others were a little stunned when they heard about these legendary figures.

Chen Afu quickly smiled and said, Okay, okay. He admired Luo Xiao's sophistication in managing things. He invited the most powerful and decent people in the neighborhood to come to Chen's house for dinner, and he was able to impress Hu Laowu without saying a word. Shocked.

Chen Afu and Wang made tea, took out peanuts and candies to entertain the distinguished guests, and then left.

Chen Afu said to Wang, Mom, go to Guqiao Village quickly to buy meat. Buy a few kilograms of semi-fat and lean hind legs, a few ribs, a kilogram of tenderloin, and then buy some pork liver and pig head meat. We will stop at the village on the way. Sell ​​a few pounds of good wine.

He called Chen Agui out again and asked him to help invite the people that Mr. Luo wanted to invite. Chen Agui hurriedly agreed to invite them.

Chen Afu took Zhui Feng to the vegetable field to pick vegetables, and then hurried back to get busy.

Gao Lizheng and Carpenter Wu came to Chen's house in a hurry. Carpenter Wu also brought a carp and a bowl of quail eggs very politely.

There were so many distinguished guests that Mrs. Chen's feet felt windy, and she ran out to help Chen Afu. Chen Afu did not dare to kill the chicken, but Mrs. Chen helped to kill it.

After Landlord Yu, Yu Lizheng, and Liu Lizheng arrived, there was no room for seating in the hut. Everyone came to the yard to sit and chat under the jujube tree. Chen Afu and Chen Agui went to move Chen Afu and their new tables and stools.

Villagers passing by Chen's house were envious when they saw so many distinguished guests sitting in his yard.

Luo Xiaoguanshi talked about how his family had a good relationship with the second wife of the Chen family, how his father valued Chen Dabao and said that the child would have a great future, and how his children loved to eat his family's food...

These are all smart people, and they all agree.

At this time, four more unexpected guests came - Yang Mingyuan, Yang Chao, Yang Qian, and a man in his thirties. Chen Afu also knows that man. He is the chef of Xile Restaurant. He taught him how to braise pork last time. They also brought many gifts.

Chen Afu felt that Yang Mingyuan should have come earlier, but he didn't know why he only came today.

Manager Luo actually knew Yang Mingyuan and was surprised when he saw him coming. He cupped his hands and said, Hey, Uncle Yang, why are you here?

Yang Mingyuan cupped his hands and said with a smile, Uncle Luo, nice to meet you, nice to meet you. My children want to play with Dabao, and I also want to talk to the Chen family about business matters, so I'm here.

Chen Afu asked Alu to lead the Yang Chao brothers and sisters to play with two birds and a dog in the new yard, and asked Chen Agui to lead Dabao to Tangyuan to invite Luo Mingcheng and Luo Mei.

After thinking for a while, he added, Call Dahu and Daya over again, let the children have fun together.

Chen Agui shook his head and said, Forget it, they are coming, I... He was too embarrassed to say that his mother would follow. All the distinguished guests came today, and he was afraid that his mother would say something inappropriate when she came. Besides, today they are obviously here to support the second room and take care of Hu Laowu.

After Luo Mingcheng and Luo Mei arrived, Dabao called Xiao Shitou again, and the new yard became even more lively. The children teased Qiqi and Huihui, and they laughed and laughed.

It was time to eat. There was a table in the old courtyard occupied by the distinguished guests. There is a table in the new yard, an old lady and her children. Chen Afu and Wang have been busy in the kitchen.

First, the chopped braised pig head, braised hind legs, braised pork ribs, braised pork liver, braised dried beans, braised quail eggs, cold shredded pork, cold cucumber, and fried peanuts were brought to the table, and they were allowed to drink slowly.

Luo Xiaoguan was still wondering about Yang Mingyuan's business dealings with the Chen family beforehand, but after eating the braised vegetables, he realized that the taste was almost the same as Xile Restaurant's unique nine-spice braised pork. Both Guanshi Luo and his son like to eat braised pork with nine spices. Whenever they go to the county town, they will go to Xile Restaurant to buy it. Sometimes when I go to Fucheng, I will also take a detour to the county town to sell more and go back to honor my uncle.

In fact, he felt that the smell here was even more fragrant. Not only the braised vegetables, but all the dishes are delicious, even the cucumbers are crisper and tender. No wonder my two sons and daughters like to eat this food so much.

Then, steamed longan pork, golden smooth pork, braised fish, two vegetarian dishes, and finally stewed chicken were served.

If Chen Afu guessed correctly, Yang Mingyuan came here today for the golden meat.

Osmanthus glutinous rice and dates are easy to make, but golden smooth meat is not easy to make authentically. Even though the meat tastes similar, it can never taste crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. First of all, bread crumbs did not exist in this era, and the meat had to be fluffed with the back of a knife first so that it would not taste old.

When everyone was enjoying their meal, Hu Laowu suddenly came.

Hu Laowu has a certain reputation in Xiangluo Village and even several nearby villages. Many people will invite him to accompany them whether they are treating guests, especially distinguished guests, whether sincerely or against their will.

He smiled cheekily and said, Oh, what kind of fragrance was blowing at Brother Chen's house today? So many distinguished guests came. Then he smiled and said to Chen Ming, You asked Agui to come to my house earlier because you invited me to accompany the distinguished guests. Want to eat? Oops, I went to the county seat yesterday and just came back.

This one is thick-skinned.

Chen Ming glanced at him and turned his head away with a sullen face.

Manager Luo said with a half-smile, Uncle Chen's family didn't plan to invite you to dinner, but I would like to invite Mr. Hu to come over to discuss something later. You are early.

Hu Laowu didn't realize it at all, and laughed and said, In front of Uncle Luo, I don't dare to call myself a master. Brother Chen is my relative. I should have come earlier to help him entertain the distinguished guests. He said to Chen Agui again. , Go and get a stool for uncle.

Among the people at this table, the only ones Hu Lao Wu was really afraid of were Luo Xiaoguanshi and Yu Landlord, because the backstage of these two people was much tougher than his. Especially the Luo family father and son, according to his fourth brother-in-law, even the county magistrate and magistrate have to give face to him.

He is not afraid of the other few who are upright. But if they join forces to punish him, he will be afraid.

There was a young man at the table whom Hu Lao Wu had never seen before, but by looking at the way he was dressed, Hu Lao Wu could guess that he was not an ordinary person.

Hu Laowu's ability from a small gangster in the countryside to the big gangster he is today naturally has his own rules of survival.

His face was smiling and he kept saying flattering words. As soon as he sat down, he punished himself with three drinks, saying that he was late and neglected the distinguished guests.

Chen Afu gritted his teeth when he heard it in the kitchen, and Mrs. Wang also cursed in a low voice, Those who have been stabbed a thousand times are shameless.

Seeing that Hu Laowu had finished talking, Manager Luo repeated what he said about the close friendship between his family and the second roommate of the Chen family. After that, the topic changed and he asked Chen Mingdao, I heard that your Dabao was bullied? Someone actually poured feces into your yard last night?

Thank you for your sour, soft, and watery wallet of life.
