Mermaid prince travels to eighty

Xiao Yuzai held hands with Qianqian, and followed Grandpa Zheng and Grandma Zheng. Looking at the hot scene in front of him, he was a little bit overwhelmed.

On a large open space at the entrance of the village, a very large sunshade has been built with red, white and blue plastic sheets.Thirty big red Eight Immortals tables were set up under the shed, and each table was equipped with eight stools.There are some cigarettes, alcohol and candies on the table as usual.

In the distance is the kitchen built for this water mat, with ten gas stoves humming.The people who cook inside are all invited from restaurants in the county.Wearing a uniform white chef uniform, with a hat on the head.The dishes are being quickly tossed right now.

This situation is completely different from the usual banquets in the village.

Xiao Yuzai heard several aunts and aunts who came to see the excitement like them talking about the running water banquet this time.

"I didn't expect that Zheng Laosan would be so generous this time, and use some of the money they earned to treat our villagers to dinner."

"Yeah, look at those chefs, they're just different from the kind of home-cooked meals in our village. I don't know what good food I'll eat at noon."

An old man from the Song family pointed to the wine on the table of the Eight Immortals: "Look at that wine. It looks like Moutai in the bottle! It's not popular here, and it's said to be very expensive. I don't know what it tastes like at noon. I must try it."

After finishing speaking, he said to Grandpa Zheng: "Old Zheng, the third son of Zheng will call you cousin no matter what. Did he show you some filial piety when he returned home this time?"

"Old Song, you already said he was a cousin. If he wants to be filial, he is also filial to his own parents. What does that have to do with me? However, he is capable of making a living for himself and leading the people in the village."

Grandpa Zheng just took the two children for a stroll, but he didn't expect to see such a battle. The third child was too ostentatious.

Xiao Yuzai opened his eyes wide and looked into the distance. He saw a stove set up there, and a burst of fragrance wafted from there.

"Grandma, what is that?"

Grandma Zheng looked at the oven, looked at the people who were working beside the oven, and said, "That's an oven, it looks like it's roasting suckling pigs and big geese."

"Song Zhilin, who allowed you to come here?"

When Xiao Yuzai heard the voice behind him, he turned his head and saw that it was Zheng Haoguang, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, and now he was running towards him aggressively.Behind him, followed closely by his father Zheng Laosan.

"This is not your home's territory, I'm just going to walk here and it's none of your business." After Xiao Yuzai finished speaking, he didn't forget to make a face at this annoying ghost.

Zheng Haoguang got angry when he saw him: "You poor poor man, no matter how you look at it, you don't have your share. This is my father and other uncles paying for the treat, but I won't let you eat it. Hmph..."

"Who doesn't care to eat your rice noodles, isn't it just chicken, duck and fish? It's as if someone has never eaten it, and our food is even better." Qianqian couldn't see it, and directly pushed back.

Zheng Laosan, who came up slowly, pulled his angry son: "Hey, second uncle, why are you standing here and watching, why don't you go and sit under the shed first, the sun is too hot outside."

Zheng Laosan was wearing the same patterned shirt as when he returned to the village yesterday, and today he turned into white trousers. The belt tied around his waist was also shiny golden, which matched his heavy necklace very well.

Now, after he finished talking to Grandpa Zheng with a smile on his face.He bowed his head to Xiao Yuzai and said to Qianqian: "My Haoguang is still young and ignorant, you both forgive him once! Uncle will give you pocket money." After speaking, he took out two five-yuan bills from his pocket I just wanted to stuff it into Qianqian's hand.

How could Qianqian ask for his money, so he pulled Xiao Yuzai and backed away: "Uncle, no need. I have pocket money, if you want to give it, give it to Haoguang!"

Grandpa Zheng watched this nephew's performance, and said indifferently: "Third son! If you earn money, save it. You have a wife and children at home, so don't waste all the money.

Zheng Laosan's expression flashed impatiently: "I know, Second Uncle. As a member of the Zheng family, I have a great future. The first thing I think about is the relatives in the family. Of course, other people in the village are also very kind to me. That’s right. That’s why we set up such a running water mat, and I would like to thank the folks and elders in the village.”

Seeing that the aunts and aunts behind Grandpa Zheng nodded in agreement, he said proudly, "Second Uncle, remember to come over for lunch, there are already seats reserved for you."

After finishing speaking, he turned up the volume and said loudly to the villagers who were watching the excitement behind him: "The banquet starts at [-]:[-] noon, everyone must remember to come and join us! It will definitely make you want to leave after eating. Also, we don't Accept gift money."

When the villagers heard Zheng Aiguo's words, they were all overjoyed.They praised him one after another:

"Hey, I just said that you are a promising young man, look at how rich you are now."

"Yesterday, I heard from you that this time you invite our village to a feast, and no gift money will be charged. Third child, you are really a big shot in our village."

Another person was even more exaggerated: "Third brother, you are really the God of Wealth in the village. I see that everyone who followed you made a lot of money and came back. When will you bring our family to make money together!"

"Third brother, I'm just waiting to have a drink with you at noon."

These people have all spoken ill of Zheng Laosan behind his back.However, it did not prevent them from complimenting Mr. Zheng now.

Xiao Yuzai and Qianqian were hugged by Grandpa Zheng and Grandma Zheng respectively, and squeezed out from the crowd.

Xiao Yuzai leaned on Grandma Zheng's shoulder, and could see the excited expressions on the faces of the villagers who were still surrounding the old Mr. Zheng.It seems that getting close to Zheng Laosan can absorb his wealth.

As for Zheng Laosan, he didn't mind being surrounded by folks at all.Even Xiao Yuzai could see a strange excitement on his face.

"Grandma, shall we also have barbecue at noon?"

Grandma Zheng patted his little butt: "Okay, whatever our little Yuzai wants to eat, Grandma will make it for you!"

Qianqian listened to him, and then yelled loudly: "Grandma, I want to eat the same food as Xiao Yuzi."

Grandma Zheng nodded with a smile, and made an appointment with the two little beans to have grilled fish for lunch.

When the four returned to Zheng's house, they saw Chen Hehua and Chen Xiaoyu peeling oysters in the yard.It was a little strange for the two of them to see their youngest son.

"What's the matter?"

"Take them to see the running water mat over by Zheng Laosan. Not to mention, it was very grand. I don't know, I really thought it was a collective good deed in our village. This time, it seems that those people have made a lot of money in Shencheng. "

Grandpa Zheng and Grandma Zheng said, put on gloves, and pulled a small bench: "Why did you bring so many oysters back today?"

"Old Zheng had a friend who asked for some goods, but they all received them. They suddenly said that they couldn't eat so much food. They just pulled it back, got some for lunch, and took the rest to the drying yard to make dried oysters."

The four of them were chatting while digging oysters.

Xiao Yuzai was sitting beside Qianqian, playing with his father's new remote control car.

It's just that not long after the courtyard was quiet, there was a rattling sound coming in from the open courtyard door.

A woman with an explosive head, big red lips, wearing a big red skirt and red high heels came in.

The woman stood at the gate of the yard, looking around.Finding oyster shells all over the floor, she looked down at the newly bought leather high-heeled shoes and felt that there was no place for her to put her feet on.

Simply standing at the gate of the yard, took down the toad//toad mirror on his face: "Second Uncle, Er Bomu, my third child said that I just forgot to invite you at the entrance of the village to have a lunch at noon. I will come Give him a word."

She stood there alone, condescendingly throwing such endless words to everyone.Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly added: "Xiaoyu, I heard that your old Zheng caught some top-quality tuna. Why, didn't you get any money? Why did you squat there bitterly and dig oysters by yourself. It's really pitiful. Look Look at your hands." As he spoke, he stretched out his fingers covered in red nail polish, and inadvertently waved them slowly in front of everyone.

This speed is so slow that people can clearly see that she is wearing a big gold bracelet on her wrist.

Then, stepping on the high heels, he left with a rattling sound.

"Pfft..."

I don't know who laughed first, and then everyone in the yard burst into laughter.

Both Xiao Yuzai and Qianqian laughed so hard that they almost fell to the ground.

"Mom, that aunt's eyes are so funny!"

Chen Hehua was cautious about the oysters in her hands, otherwise she would definitely grab her son and rub them, what a cute little guy.

"Her eyeliner must have melted! It's such a hot day, she wore eyeliner and ran around wearing sunglasses, it's no wonder it didn't melt. However, her eyes are so dark that I don't know how much eyeliner I have applied."

Thinking of the two black circles on the face of Mrs. Zheng's wife just now, Chen Xiaoyu couldn't help but laughed again.I don't know when this person will find that his eyeliner has melted.

Mrs. Zheng, who turned to leave, had already put on her sunglasses again.

She felt that she was really majestic today.

Wearing this new suit and taking the gold bracelet bought for him by the third child, he strolled around the village.Anyone who doesn't widen their eyes when they see her will be envious.

Looking at the reaction of the bumpkins from Chen Xiaoyu's family just now, they must have never seen her look so fashionable, and her eyes are so big, she is really ignorant.

The third child in her family said that when she came back to the village this time, she would not only treat the villagers to a good meal, but also bring the villagers to make a fortune.

Last night, the third child told him a very grand plan, and her heart is still hot now.

Today, she even called her natal family over to eat the flowing water mat in the village.In addition to eating this free meal, we have to see if the third child can go out with his natal family to make a fortune.

However, now she has to go to the homes of the third brother's brothers.These families are all close to Zheng Aiguo, so it seems that they are not planning to attend the banquet.However, the two parents-in-law still have to find a way to bring these people over.

Time passed quickly, and it was only eleven o'clock, and the running water mat at the entrance of the village was already full of villagers.Due to the limitation of the venue, it can only accommodate more than 200 people at a time.After these people finished eating, immediately let the villagers who hadn't eaten take a seat, and then serve new dishes.So the rhythm of this running water table is very fast.

Considering the large population in the village, whoever comes first eats first.

However, those who arrived in the first wave were mostly members of the Song clan.Most of them are family-based. After one person arrives early, he occupies the entire table and waits for his family to arrive.

The meeting started at eleven o'clock, Zheng Laosan took Zheng Laosi and the nine people who went to Shencheng with him, stood on a temporary platform, and shouted to the noisy villagers below: "Everyone be quiet! .”

Everyone's ears hurt a little from the harsh sound of the horn, and they all looked at the people on the stage.

Zheng Laosan should be the leader of this group, and the rest of the ten people are all dressed like him.

"This year's running water banquet was funded by me and ten brothers. It is to repay the kindness of the village for nurturing us over the years. Of course, it is also because of the money I made, and I want to share it with everyone. I hope everyone can enjoy it." Take advantage of our joy, and this year, I will be like Zheng Laosan, making a lot of money and living in a foreign-style building."

The villagers below were enthralled by what he said.Even the sun outside is not as bright as Zheng Laosan's words make people feel hot inside.

Zheng Laosan stood on the stage and saw the people below clearly.Seeing that everyone looked yearning, they nodded in satisfaction.The only bad thing is that none of the people who came in the first wave belonged to the Zheng family.

As Zheng Laosan opened the table, the dishes were served immediately.

The first hard dish at the beginning is roast suckling pig.

After the [-]cm-long suckling pig is roasted, the orange skin is sliced ​​by a skilled knife master, but it remains on the suckling pig without falling off.

The villagers watched the [-] suckling pigs being put on the table one by one, and they all exclaimed that Zheng Laosan was really a master.This fortune is a bit big!

As soon as the suckling pig was served, it was followed by steamed abalone with vermicelli.As fishermen, this dish is a home-cooked dish that is often eaten.But Zheng Laosan's steamed abalone with vermicelli is different from other people's.

The abalone on the table is not as small as a few centimeters as usual.

Looking at the abalone just served on the table, some people couldn't help making gestures with their hands.Good guy, it's as big as a grown woman's palm.How much does it cost!

That’s not to mention, the crispy roast goose, chrysanthemum three snake soup, white sliced ​​chicken, scallion fried sandworm, stuffed tofu, pork belly soup, pineapple buns, all of which were not delicious.

The second wave of people waiting to eat looked at these dishes, and their mouths began to salivate one by one.

Fortunately, they are all waiting here.Immediately, after these people sat down to eat, it was their turn to play.

Zheng Laosan looked at the expressions of the villagers who were satisfied with their meal, but he himself was not satisfied at all.

Not counting the villagers who were eating, none of the hundreds of villagers who were waiting to eat was from their Zheng family.Of course, not even his own father and brother came.

Zheng Lao Si was a little better, his father and brother all came to support him.

After drinking a few more glasses of wine with the villagers who came to get close, Zheng Laosan finally couldn't bear it, pulled his wife and asked, "Didn't you tell us to invite the uncles and brothers at the front of our house? Why didn't anyone come?"

After the woman swallowed the food in her mouth, she said, "Who knows about them? Anyway, I went to call. The legs grow on people. If they don't come, what else can you do with them."

Seeing her attitude, Zheng Laosan reached out and pulled the toad mirror off her face.He continued: "I asked you to invite people, how did you invite them? You didn't bring this to invite people, did you?"

Before they finished speaking, the people at the same table couldn't care less about eating for a while.Some even squirted out the meat that reached their mouths: "Hahaha, what kind of outfit are you wearing? Is it still popular in Shencheng?"

The strangeness of the person at the same table made Zheng Laosan immediately look at her wife: "Mom, what are you doing? Qing/tian/bairi made your eyes like this. Those who don't know think I'm abusing you. Hurry up and get rid of you. Wash your eyes clean."

After speaking, he pushed her away quickly.Not to mention how Zheng Laosan's wife would scream when she saw her appearance.

Now, after Zheng Laosan drove the people away, he began to think about who to call all the brothers in his room.

This time I held the running water banquet, I wanted to call all the people in the village to let them know that I had made a fortune.Now, the brothers are not here, how can they appreciate this fact?

Of course, while he was still in distress, the second wave of people had already started to serve.

The arrangement at the table is proceeding in an orderly manner.The villagers ate the meat and did not forget to chat a few words.

Zheng Laosan had to cheer up to deal with the second wave of toasts from the villagers.Although he drank the wine very hard, his heart was secretly refreshed.Who would have thought that the prodigal son of the Zheng family in everyone's eyes would suddenly become a promising person in the eyes of the villagers.That feeling is really wonderful.

I don't know if it was because of drinking too much, but he actually saw Zheng Aiguo walking over with a few brothers from the same family.

"Patriotic, good brother. Why are you here now?" As he spoke, he stuffed a wine glass into Zheng Aiguo's hand, and was about to pull him to drink.

Zheng Aiguo gave the wine glass in his hand to his elder brother.

Today they came here as brothers of the same clan to have a glass of wine to save face, of course it would be better if the eldest brother came forward.

Brother Zheng was rarely in the village, so he took the wine glass from his younger brother and said to Zheng Lao San, "Congratulations, Lao San. We brothers will come over to say congratulations to you."

Zheng Laosi also came over at this moment, and he stretched out his hand to pull all these people to the table.

Several people avoided his hand one after another, and said politely: "Third and fourth, the food and meals at home are all ready, so I won't eat here, so as not to waste it. Look, there are still many people waiting over there." eat!"

Indeed, now is the meal time, and more and more villagers came here after get off work.Judging from the situation, this flowing water banquet may have to be held until the afternoon before the whole village can eat it.

Youngest Zheng stared at Boss Zheng with wide eyes: "Boss, don't you even give me this face? Sit down and let us brothers have a drink. If the villagers see it, they will only say that we have a good relationship."

As soon as this remark came out, Zheng Laowu went back directly: "What a good relationship! You are shameless and withdraw your shares as soon as you say so. Fortunately, the second brother has cash, otherwise you will really mess up the company .Now that you are rich, you want to show it off in front of us, right? Unfortunately, we won’t touch your gold chaff. It’s already a matter of uncle’s honor to have a drink with you.”

Zheng Laosan was stunned by these words and was speechless.It was Zheng Lao Si who was so stupid that he directly pressed the wine glass on the table: "You don't have to drink a toast. Zheng Lao Wu, I'm going to put my word here. In the future, we will bring the villagers to make a fortune, so don't get involved in it." .”

Zheng Laowu snorted coldly with disdain.

The atmosphere here is very tense, but the Zheng family is laughing and laughing.

Standing in the yard, Xiao Yuzai watched Grandpa Zheng move a small stove over, light it and spread a barbed wire on it, and he knew it was time to start grilling fish!

This fish was bought from the company's cold storage. It is a very beautiful saury.One by one, they were neatly stacked on the barbed wire brushed with lard.

Smelling the scent, Xiao Yuzi couldn't help squatting in front of the stove, watching the saury on it creaking in the fire.

"Little Yuzai, don't get so close! It will be very dangerous." Qianqian was very sensible, and grabbed Xiao Yuzai's body who wanted to get closer to the stove.

"Yeah, brother. This fish smells so good!" He was talking to brother Qianqian, but he couldn't bear to look away.

Grandpa Zheng gave him a funny look, turned the fish over with chopsticks and continued to roast.

"Little Yuzai, can I feed my mother and others later?"

Xiao Yuzai looked at the fishes, and then at Grandpa Zheng. After being embarrassed for a while, he nodded his head: "Well, let's eat for you first, grandma, mother, father, aunt and brothers. Xiao Yuzai I'm not hungry at all, so I can wait."

As soon as he finished saying this, his little stomach made a grumbling sound.

Xiao Yuzai instantly felt that he was betrayed by his little belly, and patted his stomach lightly: "Stop screaming! You can eat after a while."

Chen Xiaoyu, who came out with a bowl of oysters, heard Xiao Yuzai's words and said with a smile: "Our little Yuzai has really grown up, and has learned to love others. There are so many fish, we will eat them alone later. Half a piece, so everyone can eat it, right?"

When Xiao Yuzai heard this, he felt that Aunt Xiaoyu was amazing!Instantly solved my troubles.He couldn't help but rushed forward and hugged her leg: "Auntie, you are so amazing!"

"Okay, okay, don't disturb Auntie Xiaoyu!" Chen Hehua also came out of the kitchen with a pot of braised fish heads ready to be placed on the dining table in the living room.

Xiao Yuzai obediently gave way, pulled Qianqian over, and whispered in his ear: "Brother, I'm so happy!"

After finishing speaking, he smiled like a little fox who stole honey.

Qianqian patted him on the shoulder like a little adult: "Yeah, I'm so happy too!"

"Little Yuzai, Qianqian, hurry up and call your brother down for dinner!"

As soon as the two heard it, they patted their butts, stood up, and ran upstairs to the room to ask their brother to come down for dinner.

Shouting while running: "Brother, brother, let's eat, let's eat!"

In the room on the second floor, Zheng Haolong was reading a book with the cowboy.Hearing the movement, he put down the book and walked out of the room.

Xiao Yuzai jumped into his brother's arms cheerfully: "Brother, mom said it's time for dinner."

The cowboy squeezed his chubby face: "I heard it, your voice is as loud as a gong and drum, and you and Brother Longlong both heard it."

Xiao Yuzai pulled away his brother's hand: "Don't pinch your face, it will make you ugly." Then he dragged Qianqian and Qianqian to hold on to the railing of the stairs and went downstairs.

This time was just right, Zheng Aiguo followed his brothers back from the flowing water mat.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw his father grilling fish in the yard, while Song Cai was killing fish at the other end.

"Patriotic, what's the situation over there?" Grandpa Zheng asked, looking up.

"Seeing that the table is very rich, a table can't be managed without a small one thousand. It seems that I have really made a fortune."

This time the brothers went to watch, but they were still worried that Zheng Lao San and Zheng Lao Si were playing tricks.

Because I heard that the stock market in Shencheng is really bad.A boss he knew was planted in it, and now he can't even eat a few thousand catties of oysters.Therefore, yesterday they did not quite believe that the fishermen from these two villages could make a lot of money in the complicated stock market.

However, from the inquiries from other people who came back yesterday, as well as Zheng Laosan and Zheng Laosan's behavior today, it seems to be true.

"It's okay, it doesn't matter whether they have real hair or fake hair. As long as the villagers are not involved, we don't care."

Chen Xiaoyu came out from the living room: "Dad, is the fish ready? The little ones are rumbling with hunger!"

Seeing that the fish was almost roasted, Grandpa Zheng called Song Cai over to have dinner together first.When the meal is finished, grill the rest of the fish.

Both families happily ate this lunch.

On the other side of Zheng Laosan, watching the waves of villagers coming, he wondered when he would start to implement his plan.
