Niu male

Old man Luo and Liu Chunlan don't know how to use water, so they went in for a hot bath and took Huahua to the rest area. The sky above the rest area of ​​the swimming pool is made of glass. Turning on the heating again, sitting on the rattan chair over there basking in the sun is also very pleasant and leisurely.

After all, Huahua is a pet, and the swimming pool is a public place, so it is a bit unreasonable to let it go into the water, so Romeng and the others didn't bring it when they went into the water, and Luomeng Xiaoshulin took Houwazi and his two nieces to swim.Probably because there were too many acquaintances in the town, Luo Hongfeng was too embarrassed to wear a swimsuit, so she talked to her two daughters by the pool and watched them swim.

Huahua has grown up quite a bit these days, this guy is full of energy at night, and basically sleeps during the day, at this moment, old man Luo put Houwazi's cotton-padded jacket on the stool, and it nestled inside and took a nap Son, while dozing, while still paying attention to the movements around, whenever someone came towards them, it would always move its ears, and then open its eyes a little, to see if there was no threat, and then continue to sleep on it.

Judging by human standards, Huahua is definitely not a good-natured child. Apart from showing some affection with the monkey boy, this guy is also a bit obedient in front of Romon and his family. At other times, he is a typical bully. What a pity! Apart from the flock of chickens in Wangzhuang, not many people could be bullied by it. Even those flocks of chickens were watched by Yaya Dabao.

At the swimming pool, Luo Meng and Xiao Shulin were teaching their son and two nieces to swim. Luo Meihui was so courageous that she jumped into the water even if she didn't know anything. After a while, she was able to walk around by herself with a floating board. , Luo Meiling was a little more timid, but with Luo Hongfeng's encouragement, she also got into the water. Children learn things quickly, and they can float up after a while.

Houwazi resolutely refuses to go into the water by himself. This kid is very timid. Romeng and the others have already discovered this. It is probably because he has survived in the mountains and forests since he was a child. He is always very vigilant.Luo Meng and Xiao Shulin didn't force him either, they just let him ride on their shoulders and took him to play in the water. When he was familiar enough, he would naturally become bolder gradually, there was no need to rush for a while.

This swimming pool is really nice, the light is good and the environment is very warm, but unfortunately an hour passed quickly, and Romon and the others had to take a shower and change clothes to come out of the swimming pool.The experience voucher Ma Congrong gave them can be used at any time during the three days, but the duration is still only one hour. If you want to play more, you can apply for an annual pass, but forget it today, there are too many people in line.

On the way back, the two sisters, Meihui and Meiling, obviously had a lot to say, and Houwazi seemed a little more excited than usual. It seemed that the day when he would go into the water by himself would not be too far away.

Many people came to Niuwangzhuang on the day of the winter solstice. Because of the experience of the Dragon Boat Festival, Chen Jianhua and others made preparations in advance this time. So I feel relieved to be the shopkeeper.

The original owner of Fat Girl also came over this day. Two days ago, the boss from Guangdong called Luo Meng and said that Fat Girl would not be brought home from now on, and that she would live in Niuwangzhuang, and that he would take away the pup. Only.Luo Meng was very happy when he heard that, his boss finally didn't have to follow in the footsteps of Yaya and became the second single dad in Niuwangzhuang, so he asked him if he would like to come over on the day of the winter solstice, because on this day Niuwangzhuang To kill pigs.

This Cantonese couple is also a die-hard fan of Niuwangzhuang. Before Feimei’s hostess often shopped for agricultural products online at the Taobao Direct Store in Dawan Village, they discovered photos of them in the southeast and northwest, which eventually led to the marriage between Feimei and the boss. .

The night before the winter solstice, the Guangdong boss and his brother-in-law drove a car and brought the whole family to Buffalo Town. There were a total of nine adults and two children in the group, and they happened to be sitting at a table right now.

"It's still a while before we leave the table, why don't we go see Fat Girl first?" After waiting for the seat and paying the money, the beautiful lady boss said.

"I don't know what time the food will be served, why don't you go after eating." The fat boss doesn't want to move at the moment, there are several big pots cooking over there, and all the apprentices under Chen Fuhan None of them were built, and the ingredients in Niuwangzhuang were good. At this moment, there was a burst of food aroma in the yard, which whetted people's appetite.

"Hey, Mr. Luo." Seeing that Luo Meng was about to walk out of the yard with the monkey on his back, the proprietress stopped him with her mouth open.

"Hey, so you are sitting here. I was looking for it just now. You see that there are not many fruits to treat in this winter, so I served a few melon seeds and side dishes. I am laughing at you." Seeing that it was their family, Luo Meng enthusiastically said They started to say hello, because the other party offered to let Fei Mei stay in Niuwangzhuang, and Luo Meng had a good impression of them at the moment.

"This pickled vegetables are so delicious, why haven't I seen you sell them online before?" the beautiful lady boss asked with a smile.

"Hey, the packaging and transportation are too troublesome. If you like it, you can pick some up when you go back later." Romon is willing to give up a little pickled vegetables.

"That's great, by the way, when shall we start?"

Luo Meng took out his mobile phone to look at it, and said, "The food will be served in less than four or ten minutes."

"Then it's still a while, why don't you take us to see Fei Mei first?"

"Success." Romon was also very straightforward, and immediately led them to the fruit forest. Fat Girl and Boss were taking their three puppies to bask in the sun on a big rock by the creek. The three puppies have grown up for more than a month, and it is the cutest time when they are tiger-headed and tiger-headed.

"Wow!" The fat girl barked suddenly, and her head, which was lying lazily, lifted up.

"Woo..." The boss also stood up from the stone, and cast his eyes at the end of the path by the stream, with a serious expression on his face.

The puppies who were having fun climbing up and down on their parents seemed to feel the tension coming from their parents, and turned their gazes towards the mouth of the stream.After a while, Romon Houwazi and the Cantonese couple appeared at the end of the path, talking all the way and slowly walking towards them.

When they got close, the hostess waved to Fei Mei, but Fei Mei took two steps back with sobs.

"Fool, I won't take you back, don't worry." The hostess said with red eyes.

"Woo... woo..." Fei Mei jumped off the boulder, walked slowly to her side, and rubbed her fur intimately on her body.

The hostess was all about reminiscing with the fat girl, but the host paid attention to the puppies over there. The boss was a little nervous at first, but was calmed down by Romon a few times.

"Look at the shape of this head. It doesn't look like a puppy of forty or fifty days old. Isn't it a little too fat?" The male owner obviously likes these puppies very much.

"It's better to be fatter." The hostess sniffed and smiled.

"Are there any puppies? My family still wants to keep a female dog." Because the boss next to him was obviously a little disturbed, the Guangdong boss didn't dare to reach out to grab these puppies directly, so he had to ask Luo Meng.

"The one with the lightest coat color is the bitch, the oldest dog, and the other two are male dogs." Romon pointed to him.

"Hello, Boss. I like Boss. Looking at this guy, I thought he must be a male dog." The fat boss was overjoyed. How much is such a good pup worth, although he There must be no chance to exchange this puppy for cash, but as long as he thinks that this puppy is worth a lot of money, he will be very happy. This guy likes money, and he likes all valuable things.

"You picked this one, and I'll pick one too. Let's estimate the price of the remaining one. When the time comes, together with Fat Girl's, I'll give you the money." Fortunately, three were born, and the couple gave birth. Take one away, and the remaining two can be companions. In the future, if the boss and the fat girl want to go out for a walk or drop by, these two brothers will be enough to stand guard.

"Don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry, we'll talk about it later after we finish eating." The boss in Guangdong waved his hand.

Seeing that it was almost time to leave the banquet, the couple returned to the courtyard. Originally, they planned to take the fat girl there for a good meal, but the fat girl refused to leave, and the boss stared at them again, so they had to give up.

Luo Meng appeased the boss and the fat girl, and went to the courtyard. After a while, after all the fixed dishes on each table were served, he had to buy the dishes again, and he had to serve them himself.

Xiao Shulin is not here today. An employee of the transportation company had an accident at home and asked for a temporary leave. Today is the winter solstice. Business is very good, and no one else can be found. Xiao Shulin had to go to replace him. Helped Romon.Luo Hongfeng could help him, she went to Niuwangzhuang early this morning.

Liu Chunlan, the old man Luo and Mr. Xiao's family have also passed the winter solstice here, saving themselves the trouble of preparing meals. Originally, they also wanted to help, but Luo Meng refused to let them just eat and nothing else Dry.

Aunt Xiao Shulin's family, together with her son's girlfriend, were also taken to Niuwangzhuang by Xiao Shulin this morning. It just so happened that there was no place for Boss Xiao and the others at the table, so Liu Ruhua arranged them in Liu Caiyun Na At Maocheng's table, relatives did not appear to be negligent to relatives.

On this day, because Chen Jianhua made arrangements in advance, Chen Fuhan and others also gained experience, and the speed of serving food was much faster than that on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival. Eat very heartily.

"Old Zhou! The glutinous rice balls are gone!"

"It's almost enough. How many bowls are there on your table?"

"I haven't eaten enough. Didn't you say that the glutinous rice balls are enough?"

"Who knew you could eat so much? Wait a minute. Let me see if the rice noodles that were dried two days ago are still there. Anyway, it must be too late to soak and grind the rice now."

Besides pork, glutinous rice balls are the most popular on this day. They grow rice but not wheat, and they don’t have the habit of eating dumplings. They must eat glutinous rice balls on the day of the winter solstice.

In the era of material poverty in the past, everyone thought that glutinous rice balls were really a good thing. They were fragrant and glutinous and delicious. Now that life is rich, chicken, duck and fish are not rare. On the day of the winter solstice, homemade glutinous rice noodles There are also fewer people serving glutinous rice balls, and they all buy quick-frozen ones from the supermarket.

How many years have you not felt that glutinous rice balls are delicious?During the winter solstice of this year, these people regained their former taste in Niuwangzhuang.

Old man Luo has been busy planting glutinous rice this year. He has devoted himself to fertilizing and weeding. In addition, the weather is so dry this year that he has to patrol the fields every morning and evening to check the water. Naturally, Luo Meng puts it in too. Lingquan water, when they harvested in autumn, this batch of glutinous rice did not disappoint them. Although the yield per mu was not very high, the rice grains after husking were plump and round, with a faint fragrance of glutinous rice.

Soak them in water and grind them into glutinous rice flour glutinous rice balls. After they are cooked, scoop them up with a spoon and take a closer look. You can see that the surface of the glutinous rice balls is smooth and delicate, showing a slightly transparent shape, as if there is still a little bit of oil. Inside, it is soft, glutinous and sweet, with a strong rice fragrance.

"Hey, Lao Yang." Boss Duan had almost finished eating, so he squatted on the wall outside the courtyard with a bowl of glutinous rice balls that he managed to grab, and gave it to Yang Cunbo, the purchasing manager of their clubhouse who was in charge of negotiating with Niuwangzhuang. Made a phone call.

"Boss! Where are you right now?" Lao Yang was startled. Now there is a lot of rumors in their clubhouse that the boss is going to become a monk. How can that be done?He hasn't paid off his mortgage yet.

"You don't care where I am." Boss Duan stuffed a glutinous rice ball into his mouth, and then asked Yang Cunbo, "How's the business in our clubhouse recently?"

"It's okay, there are brook grouper and oolong soup on top, plus a few signboards from the past in our clubhouse, I probably don't have to worry about it in a short time."

"Are the guests in our clubhouse so easy to serve? No matter how good the food is, sometimes you get tired of eating it. You have to get them something fresh from time to time." Boss Duan stuffed another glutinous rice ball into his mouth and asked: "You know the glutinous rice balls in Niuwangzhuang, right?"

"Oh, I only ate it once, how do you know?" Lao Yang was puzzled, his boss was so well informed about the news!

"I saw it on the Tongcheng Forum. Let me tell you, let's forget about today's big festival. Tomorrow morning, you should contact Chen Guanshi early and discuss with him about ordering glutinous rice balls. I will call Abin later and ask him to make one." Theme event." Boss Duan ordered.

"The glutinous rice in their family seems to be planted by Luo Meng's father. They don't plan to sell it. They say they want to keep it for their own food."

"Talk to them, order this time first, don't require long-term supply, and it doesn't matter if the price is set high."

"Okay then, I'll call Chen Jianhua tomorrow morning."

"When you get the goods, remember to take ten catties to my dad and let him eat slowly in the refrigerator, and the rest will be put into the warehouse at the clubhouse."

"Don't worry, boss, I guarantee that the arrangements will be properly made." Seeing their boss like this, he doesn't look like he is going to convert to my Buddha. The big stone in Lao Yang's heart has finally landed. The monthly mortgage of their family is really not Just kidding.

"That's it, I'll hang up." After eating a bowl of glutinous rice balls, he returned to the dinner table now, and probably could have some other dishes. After talking on the phone, he felt that there was room in his stomach again. .

"Well, boss, when are you coming back?"

"Let's see." Boss Duan is now even more reluctant to leave Niuwangzhuang.

The next day, Yang Cunbo contacted Chen Jianhua and said he wanted to order a batch of glutinous rice balls. Chen Jianhua asked Luo Meng for his opinion. After discussing with Luo Meng, he agreed to sell a batch to them. Although the stuff is good, it can't be eaten as a meal. Besides, the price given by the other party is quite good.

A few days later, the batch of glutinous rice balls and the vegetables of the day were shipped to their clubhouse. Yang Cunbo took ten catties of glutinous rice balls from them and went to Boss Duan and his father's house.The place where the old man lives can definitely be called a mansion. Not only is the house big, but there is also a large yard in front of and behind the house, which is very upscale and beautifully maintained.

When Lao Yang passed by, the old man was playing chess with a few old friends in the garden. Hearing that Boss Duan had sent someone to deliver glutinous rice balls, he didn't take it seriously: "What a dead boy, he ran away without saying a word, and the winter solstice It's all too dry, how about some glutinous rice balls?"

"It just so happens that everyone in the family is hungry, let's cook a few rice pads first." One of the old men said, they often visit each other, and they are very casual.

After hearing this, Old Man Duan agreed, and let Lao Yang eat glutinous rice balls before leaving. Don't eat for nothing.

Unexpectedly, the old man brought a bag of glutinous rice balls to the kitchen, and when he opened the bag and smelled it, he knew it was a good thing. After a while, the glutinous rice balls were cooked, and each person had a bowl of clear soup with little water. Quite a few, three per bowl.

"It's only three? It's not enough to fit between the teeth." These people also smelled the fragrance in the living room just now, and now they are hungry, but only three...

"..." Manager Yang's old face full of anticipation couldn't help but get tangled up, three, just enough to hook his greedy worms out, should he eat it or not?Eat it, don't eat it for nothing, just three, it's better than nothing.

"It's not an era when we can't have enough to eat. Tangyuan is very boring, just eat a few." The old man said, and picked up his own bowl and started eating.

This old guy basically doesn't open fire in his own house 360 ​​days a year. He usually eats out. He hires part-time workers at home and doesn't have a nanny.He would occasionally get something to eat for himself. His son brought him a bag of rice porridge some time ago. The old man cooked it every day, and he ate well, but it was a pity that he didn't have it anymore.

"It's true that the older you get, the more stingy you are."

"You can have a look when you go back to my house next time. I will only give half an orange."

"Hey, it wasn't like this when I was young."

"Just a few glutinous rice balls, not made of gold, only three..."

A few old men complained while eating, ate the glutinous rice balls and drank the sweet soup, what to say when it was over, and turned their eyes to the kitchen again.

"Hey, it's all over." At this moment, Boss Duan's father spoke.So everyone had no choice but to wipe their mouths, got up and said goodbye.

After everyone had left, the old guy slouched his slippers and walked his bowed legs, and went to his own kitchen, filled another pot of water, and boiled a large bowl full of white, fat, hot glutinous rice balls. Bring it to the coffee table in the living room, and eat it happily.

"Hey! This is really delicious! Oh! It's delicious!"

"If you have a baby, fasten it! Hahaha!"

"You're a dead boy, you know how to respect Lao Tzu, it's not in vain!"

"Hey! Good food, good food!"

"Fortunately, those old guys are not cheap! Hahahaha!"
