back to the field

Chapter 22 Banquet

Hearing the movement not far away, Qin Zhen's sharp edge faded away, and he looked pitiful again.

"Coincidentally, I'm not good at it either."

She smiled, the smile was like a white and simple pear blossom, blooming quietly, as if the depth just now was just an illusion.

Tang Qingman's nervousness eased a little, and he followed her words: "But you have a lot of contacts with Sixian, don't you?"

Qin Zhen said: "He...maybe an exception, I don't think he is quite the same as the men in the village."

Tang Qingman, who knew the "truth", did not refute.

"What about Brother Ling?" Qin Zhen finally realized that Tang Sixian was gone.

"She said she has something to go back."

"Then let's take a seat first!" Qin Zhen didn't care much about where Tang Sixian went, she pulled Tang Qingman to sit down.

Tang Qingman was still a little confused.Qin Zhen didn't break the casserole and asked the end, as if he was just asking casually.

"It's because I'm too sensitive that I made a mistake."

After thinking this way, Tang Qingman relaxed again.

She said to Qin Zhen, "Just now, I just meddled in my own business. She has already reflected on herself. I hope you can forgive her."

Qin Zhen didn't mean to blame Tang Sixian, "This is also the big difference between him and the men in the village. At this time, most of them would look on coldly. Although Lingdi seemed a bit messy, he actually helped me a lot , I am very grateful to him."

Qin Zhen's reaction confirmed Tang Sixian's speculation that she did not want to get married, and it could even be judged that Qin Zhen did not like most men in Zhenqian Village.

Tang Qingman couldn't figure it out, but he always felt that it had something to do with what happened to Zhang Chun'er, Ba'er and the others.

Relatives, friends and neighbors of the Qin family entered the side yard of the ancestral hall to sit one after another. The men's seats were in the middle hall of the side yard, and the women and children were in the front hall opposite.

After Tang Sixian came back, she naturally sat next to Tang Qingman, and a lot of eyes focused on her in the front hall.

As if she didn't realize it, she said to Qin Zhen and Tang Qingman who were sitting on the left: "At the beginning, the local scholar said that it was only a small event, but judging from the number of people today, there are quite a few people who come here to eat."

Qin Zhen looked at her with a half-smile: "Are you talking about yourself?"

Tang Sixian pretended not to hear, and continued: "When I came in just now, there was a stranger wearing a tall hat and a tunic walking in front. I looked at him strangely, and he didn't look like a villager. People from Qin Ju said that man was passing by on an outing. Yes, seeing the excitement, I asked curiously, so I was invited in by the local scholar."

"Have you recognized all the people in the village?"

"Some don't know their names, but they can probably recognize their faces."

Qin Zhen was thoughtful: "The tall hat you are talking about should be a black horn scarf, and you are wearing a grosgrain straight skirt. It seems that the officials of Yanju went to the countryside to climb high in September autumn."

Tang Qingman was slightly surprised: "Why did Niang Zhen even guess what the official was wearing?"

Qin Zhen looked at her, couldn't hold back, and smiled, "He's right there."

Tang Qingman looked along her fingertips, and sure enough, he saw a particularly conspicuous figure in the middle hall opposite.His attire and demeanor stood out from the crowd of villagers in short brown clothes. Even Qin Ruanlun's classmates lacked a trace of calmness and confidence in front of him. .

"Hey, so I saw it, and I thought you figured it out by clever calculations!" A woman next to her who was eavesdropping put away her surprised expression, and she turned to look at Tang Sixian, "After talking for a long time, Why are you still sitting here?"

"Can't I sit here?" Tang Si enviously showed "You're really weird".Little did he know that the woman who was approaching also looked at her with this kind of eyes.

Tang Qingman tugged at her sleeves and said in a low voice, "Sixian, this is the female seat."

Tang Sixian looked at them silently, and it took him a while to realize that in this era, "men and women are seated differently", and she happened to be a "man".

Fucking men and women fight against each other, and fucking women disguise themselves as men!

All right, she has to do as the Romans do!

Tang Sixian silently withdrew from the front hall, his figure gradually covered by the lively crowd in the middle hall.Qin Zhen withdrew his gaze and suppressed the trace of doubt in his heart.

Halfway through the meal, Tang Sixian left the table.It's not that the Qin family's food and drink are not tasty, but because they are so delicious:

The Qin family prepared five main courses, two side dishes, and one soup for this feast.The side dishes "cold fish skin" and "spicy feet" marinated with vegetables are served first, followed by fish soup, stewed fish balls, fried and frozen fish heads, braised chicken and roasted pork, etc., and finally a fish head Tofu Soup.

For the villagers who rely on water for water, it is normal to eat fish as a dish, so they basically come here with free drinks.But after the first dish of cold fish skin appeared, they immediately forgot about the chicken, pork, and fine wine.

The fish skin is ice-cold, crisp and delicious. After adding a little vinegar, it is very appetizing.As soon as the main course was served, classmate Qin Ruanlun, who was still serving as a scholar, and the strange guest couldn't help but put aside the so-called table manners, and began to feast on it.

Anyway, after eating, they were still the gentle and polite scholars.

"This one that looks like a floating yuanzi tastes so delicious, I don't know how it's made!"

"Where did the Qin family find the cook? Why is the fish soup, fried frozen fish head and this fish skin all delicious, but the stewed chicken and broiled meat are not so delicious in comparison. And this floating element Son, it must be made of fish meat, I tasted a bit of fish."

"Where is the Qin family looking for a cook? It's all the Qin family's own people who are busy!"

"I'll let my mother-in-law ask how these dishes are made so delicious. The fish can be made so delicious. I'm sure I won't dislike it for being fishy!"

The discussion from the same table and the adjacent table reached Tang Sixian's ears. After she finished eating in a hurry, she went back to the Wang's house and took out the fish balls she had prepared in advance, and placed them on the road that must be passed after coming out of the Qin's ancestral hall. road section.

She agreed to make fish balls for the Qin family, not because of the sales, but because she wanted to use this opportunity to increase the popularity of the fish balls.

How could she miss such a good promotion opportunity?

After waiting for a while, villagers who were full left Qin's ancestral hall one after another.Not far away, he saw Tang Sixian sitting on the twisted roots of an old tree.In front of her was a bamboo basket with a dustpan on it, which contained many meatballs that were exactly the same as what they ate at the banquet.

"Tang Sixian, what is this?" When the villagers saw the meatballs, they couldn't help but reminisce about the delicacies they had at the banquet.

Tang Sixian didn't intend to hide them, he just said: "Fish balls."

"I just said it was made of fish meat!" Immediately, a villager said proudly, and asked, "Did you make the Qin family's fish balls?"

"You can say that." Tang Sixian pointed at the fish balls, "Do you want to buy them?"

The villagers are more interested in making fish balls than in their desire to buy them. They asked in a hurry: "How are fish balls made? Is the fish meat deboned and then made? Where did you learn it?"

"Many people in my hometown know how to make fish balls, so you can find out if you just ask."

They thought to themselves, isn't Tang Sixian's hometown the Tang family?They have never heard that the Tang family can make fish balls.After thinking about it, the Tang family hasn't recognized their siblings yet. For Tang Sixian, "hometown" refers to Shezhou!

"Do you want to buy it? For the sake of fellow villagers, I'll give you the most affordable price." Tang Sixian asked again.

"How to sell?"

"Twenty coins and ten coins."

The villagers were in an uproar: "Twenty Wen is only ten pieces, which is more expensive than mutton?!"

"Isn't that right? Qinxiang Shushou paid a lot of money to entertain you this time!"

When they heard this, they also felt that Qin Yu was very aggressive this time.

But when there are many people, the voices are always inconsistent. Even if someone questioned: "Xiangshushou hired you to fish, so it is reasonable to say that the fish for these fish balls are from Xiangshushou? How much can he spend? "

Everyone also remembered that the Qin family and the Tang family had a close relationship with each other. Tang Sixian also fished for Qin Yu, so although the fish balls were delicious, the fish meat was cheap, and the fish balls were definitely not that expensive.

Tang Sixian "hissed" and covered his cheeks: "It's so sour, my teeth are so sour!"

The man was anxious, "A fish that weighs two catties is only a dozen yuan, but you get twenty yuan for ten fish, which is a bit ridiculously expensive. Besides, your fish are still caught in the river in the village, and they don't cost more than ten yuan. Earn so much for a penny?"

Downs gave him an envious look, "Do you know how to settle accounts? Let me tell you, the millet you use for farming is only a few tens of pennies per mu, but the rice you sell is worth a few shi, and a shi is worth three to five Baiwen. According to this calculation, your rice is too expensive."

"You——how is this the same!" The man retorted anxiously.

Tang Sixian moved the bamboo basket to another place, not wanting to get too close to the idiot, so as not to be infected: "Why is it different? You put a lot of money into the fields, so don't I need energy to catch fish? I don't need energy to make fish balls Is it time? The labor pay is directly proportional to the harvest. I have paid so much, and the price is very affordable. If you want to buy fish worth more than ten yuan, I also have it. Do you want me to catch it for you now?"

The villagers who had already experienced the power of her words retreated silently.There were only a few idlers who came to join in the fun and sat on the root of the tree, coveting Tang Sixian's fish balls while chattering: "They are still too timid to let Tang Sixian be arrogant in the village for so long."

One of them, Li San, said bitterly: "I have long disliked him. A foreigner, after fawning on a scholar from the village, he becomes defiant, pretends to be a tiger, and really regards himself as a member of the village?"

"Let's cure him!"

Li San hastily stopped him: "What if he asks the local scholar for help again?"

He suffered a disadvantage last time, and the experience of being taught a lesson by Qin Yu is still vivid in his memory!

"If we don't fight him, what can the local scholar do to us?"

The idlers exchanged glances, got up, and prepared to trouble Tang Sixian.

Tang Sixian has always had a strong sense of crisis, and he is even more sensitive to unkind eyes.Out of the corner of her eye, she caught sight of those idlers approaching, without saying a word, she picked up the bamboo basket and dustpan and ran towards the Qin's ancestral hall.

Li San and the others also followed, but when they reached the boundary of the ancestral hall, where people came and went, they dared not act rashly.

Tang Sixian calmly continued to sell, and shouted at everyone: "Fresh and delicious fish balls, we support door-to-door delivery, and inquiries are welcome at any time."

Someone came forward to inquire about the price, and a few idlers stared at them fiercely.In this way, neither the people in the same village nor those outside the village were willing to meddle in other people's business, so that no one dared to patronize Tang Sixian's stall.

Thinking back when Tang Si was envious of fishing, the fisherman used the same method to deal with her, and she finally resolved it.Now that the gang of idlers are repeating their old tricks, Tang Sixian is heartbroken, "Are you out of your wits? Is this all you can do? You think I'll be in a hurry? When I was on the road, your hair didn't even grow out yet!"

Idlers: "..."

Tang Sixian really loves to die.They were enraged, they rolled up their sleeves and were about to overturn her stall.

"If you don't teach you a lesson today, you won't know who is in charge of this village!"

Tang Sixian yelled: "Help!" Then he hugged the bamboo basket and shivered.

At this time, Qin Tian's voice came from not far away: "I also want to know who is in charge of Zhenqian Village."

The idlers froze, turned their heads and saw Qin Tian and a group of people staring at the gate of the side courtyard of the Qin Family Ancestral Hall.

Although there were many people watching the show, among them, the well-dressed and outstanding man frowned deeply, and his eyes were quite dissatisfied.It was upon seeing his expression that Qin came forward.

Holding the bamboo basket, Tang Sixian, who buried his head in his arms, turned his head and glanced over there, and saw Qin Zhen who was pressing Tang Qingman to prevent her from coming.

Qin Zhen is like a bystander, with a warm smile like a spring breeze on her face, and the changes around her cannot be seen by her eyes.But if you distinguish carefully, you can find the slyness in her eyes.

Tang Sixian withdrew his gaze and couldn't help but smile.

The author has something to say: Tang Moujian: Gain prestige for the future father-in-law.

Instant noodles: Tang Jianjian, are you still laughing?You can take care of yourself, Qin Fuhei has almost discovered your identity!
