Good mountains, good water, good people

Their barbecue party was scheduled to start at five o'clock in the afternoon, but people started to come before it was three o'clock.A car came into their village, and Village Chief Gu had arranged for someone to go to the village entrance to direct the car to park outside.

"Park the car outside, park outside, don't drive in." Someone shouted while commanding.

The car stopped at the parking sign outside.

Cars stopped one after another, and the people who got out of the cars were all families, including adults and children. Almost none of the cars got off alone.

It just so happened that this day was also a Saturday, and many parents didn't go to work. Knowing that Boss Gu was holding a barbecue party, they signed up early and brought the whole family with them.There are also children in the family who are doing summer jobs at Boss Gu's place, and the father brings his wife, grandparents, and other children in the family, and even grandparents and other relatives come here together.

"Welcome to our Yunxi Village, everyone, please come here to drink tea." Several children wearing red scarves were responsible for guiding the guests who came to their village at the entrance of the village.

At the entrance of Yunxi Village, there is a hundreds-year-old tree. The trunk is as big as four or five people holding hands and surrounded by luxuriant branches.

There is a long row of tables under the tree, and tea and fruit snacks are set on the tables.

The guests who came here were invited to sit down and drink tea, but let alone, the tea made from the mountain spring water here is really unique. Many parents who have drunk the tea produced here in Yunxi Village You guys, once you drink it, you will know that it is the water for making good tea produced by their Yunxi Village.

It was still early, and the barbecue hadn't started yet. There were still people building an oven with bricks outside, preparing for the barbecue tonight.

"Shall we go inside for a walk?"

"Okay, let's go for a walk, the barbecue doesn't start so early."

These restless parents got up after drinking a cup of tea, and took their families for a walk in the village. Many of them came to this small village for the first time, but there were also some who had been here before. , I became a tour guide and led everyone to the village.

Some children saw others using bricks to make a barbecue stove, and they also went to help.

"Ah, someone came so early?" Gu Changning was still leading people to prepare the ingredients for tonight's barbecue, when he received a call saying that many people came, "Okay, our side is about to get ready Alright, I'll let someone send the things out."

Knowing that there were already guests arriving, Gu Changning greeted Master Tong, and asked someone to pull the charcoal outside first, and asked someone to light up the fire first.

Oh, and there's the matter of getting paid!This cannot be forgotten.

"Uncle Yang, please find two people to help collect the money. One person is 88 for adults and 38 for children. Those under the age of three and those over 60 are free." Gu Changning handed over the registration and collection of money to Yang Uncle will do it.

"Hehe, fine, I'll go right away." Secretary Yang accepted the task cheerfully, took the two of them together, and went outside with a box and a pen to collect money.

The guests who arrived later saw someone setting up a stall under the tree to register and collect money. None of these guests who came would deliberately evade the order. When they saw someone collecting money, everyone went here first. Paying the money, some families with seven or eight people have to pay 600 yuan for a family, and there are also families with more than a dozen people. Families with the elderly and children can be exempted from the list of several quotas.

Today is the last day of work for this group of summer vacation workers. Gu Changning asked the finance side to calculate the wages of these summer vacation workers early on, and sent them money at noon, and gave them money before four o'clock in the afternoon. They had a holiday and officially ended the children's working life this summer.

After finishing the last work of the day, the group of summer vacation workers rushed out to the village entrance to find food and their families.

"Dad, dad, mom..."

"Hey, boy!"

Soon at the entrance of the village, there were scenes of children and their families getting to know each other, but today's meeting was not too touching. These parents came here today to find something to eat, and their sons could be left behind.

When Gu Changning came out with his stuff in his car, he saw many customers queuing up here to pay, and they all greeted him when they saw him. He saw a lot of familiar faces here, and he often visited them. There are also many customers who went to buy things in the store, and there are many people who sent their children to work with him last time, and people who came to their village to buy fish.

Even he himself didn't expect that he just sent a message in Moments, and attracted so many people to their village for barbecue.

"When will Boss Gu start?"

"Wait, right now, light up the charcoal and start grilling... Oh, oh, the ingredients are still behind, and they will come out soon."

The barbecue was originally scheduled to start at [-] o'clock, but since everyone arrived early, presumably these people who came early didn't have dinner, so they had to prepare it a little earlier for everyone to start the barbecue.Fortunately, they were already preparing for this event very early today. With so many people coming here at this moment, they will not be in a hurry.

However, Gu Changning knew that this was only the first wave of guests arriving, and there was still a large wave that hadn't arrived yet. He was afraid that when all the people arrived, there would be so many people in their village that they couldn't hold it.

"How much is the stove?"

"There are quite a few of these here."

"Maybe it's not enough. Go out to this road and get a few more stoves. Don't worry if there are more, but less."

"Oh, okay, let's put it over now, and we should be able to get a few more."

Fortunately, there were still a lot of bricks left over from the last time the house was built, and this time they were pulled out to build a barbecue stove, which saved them from having to spend money to buy them.

The tricycle is a cart full of charcoal. Gu Changning asked someone to come over to help carry the charcoal down, and asked someone to turn on a stove to light the fire first, and the barbecue would start after a while.With so many people coming today, a cart of charcoal might not be enough. Fortunately, when I bought charcoal, I bought a little more, and there was still a cart inside, so he had to pull another cart out.

"You do it first, and I'll go back and move other things out."

After saying hello to the people here, Gu Changning went back to continue pulling things.On the second trip, his cousin Gu Chunsheng moved with him. Each of them drove a tricycle, one loaded with charcoal, and the other loaded with various ingredients.

"Wow, wow, here comes the food!" The guests who had already been waiting here shouted when they saw the ingredients coming, and those who couldn't wait rolled up their sleeves and came to help in person.

Seeing these guests take the initiative to help, Gu Changning did not refuse. There are many people working quickly, and these people should not be less barbecued at ordinary times. It can be seen that the posture of rolling up their sleeves to work is more skilled than him.

Gu Fuquan also stopped the business of their small stall today, pulled out the stove for making roast chicken, hung the pre-marinated chicken into the stove, closed the lid, and the roast chicken was already starting baked.

"Boss Xiaoquan, you are roasting chicken here, do we still have roast chicken today?"

Many of the guests who came here today live in their town. They usually go to Boss Xiaoquan’s roast chicken stand to buy roast chicken for supper at home. I didn’t expect to see Boss Xiaoquan moving the oven today. Come here to roast chicken, can today's roast chicken be eaten for free?

Boss Xiao Quan smiled and told everyone: "Yes, there is roast chicken to eat, and the roast chicken will not stop until you go back tonight."

"Oh, this is really good!" The group of chicken-loving guests clapped their legs and applauded.

Boss Gu’s Roast Chicken is roasted from the running pheasant. The meat is fragrant and chewy. Coupled with Boss Xiaoquan’s good craftsmanship, the roasted chicken is their entire Xiaoliang Town... no no no , it should be said that the whole Ancheng is delicious!

After confirming that there was roast chicken, someone asked again: "Is there any wine tonight?"

"I don't know about this, I have to ask my cousin." Gu Fuquan really didn't know if there was any wine tonight... But he felt that his cousin would not provide it for everyone because of his efforts to save money. Free booze is.

"We are all invited to have a barbecue, so you won't even prepare wine for us?"

"This...it's really hard to say."

There are also quite a few of them who have dealt with Boss Gu several times, and they all know that Boss Gu is a bit stingy. Boss Gu said that there will be fish, meat, vegetables, and fruits in the barbecue party, but you haven't heard that there will be wine, right?They felt that Boss Gu would not prepare for them what they didn't say.

"Which one of you has Lao Gu's phone number? Make a call and ask him?"

"I don't think it's necessary to ask. Ask in the group who hasn't come in. Let's collect some money so that those who haven't come in will come in later and bring us a few boxes of beer."

"Well, I think it's okay."

This group of parents asked in the group who hadn't come into Yunxi Village, you put in a little money, I put in a little money, and soon enough money to buy wine, so that those who haven't come in will be picked up by the way when they come in. Several cases of wine came in.

***

It's not even four o'clock, and the barbecue is already starting here.

The roasted chickens from the first oven were also roasted, and the roasted chickens were put on the table over there one by one. If you want to eat, you can take the plate and get it.Master Tong sent a young apprentice to help cut the chicken. The knife fell onto the chopping board, and the whole chicken was cut open. Whoever wanted which piece was divided away.

"Hey, is the chicken roasted? I have mung bean soup here. If you want to drink, bring a bowl and put it in yourself." When Gu Changning pulled things out, he saw that the chicken was being divided here, and asked to help put two buckets The mung bean soup was moved to the other side of the table, so that those who want to eat can make it by themselves.Smelling the aroma, he also ran over and asked for a chicken wing to eat, "Mmm, not bad, delicious!"

"Eat as much as you want, don't worry about not having enough food, just take as much as you eat, and don't waste it."

"I know, I know, we will never waste it, and we promise to eat the most leftover chicken bones!"

A large group of people smelled the aroma and came to get the roast chicken to eat, and some people took bowls to make mung bean soup, and soon both sides were patting the long queue.
