deadly round table

The dwelling where the players stayed was the home of the boatman and his wife. The husband and wife transformed the dwelling into a homestay. I don’t know if it’s just started or for other reasons. They didn’t invite any helpers to entertain tourists. All work needs to be done by both of them.

When dinner was served, the players finally saw the boatman's daughter-in-law in the dining room.

In reality, the serving seats at the dinner table are reserved for people with younger family members or lower status in the workplace.However, in this round of round table games, when the players were walking around in the residence, they wanted to go to the kitchen to check the situation, but were rejected by the boatman.The boatman didn't seem too happy to let the players have contact with his wife, and the players didn't want to offend their landlord for this round of the game, so they could only give up contact with the boatman's wife.If one plan fails, another plan will be made. The best time to observe the boatman's wife is when the dishes are served.The serving seat is the best place to observe the boatman's wife, and many players want to sit in this seat.However, no one dared to compete with Jiang Wenyuan and Chen Mian, they naturally sat down at the serving table.

The boatman’s daughter-in-law’s long hair is combed into huge hair, tied up with a plum blossom embroidered headscarf folded into a triangle, wearing the traditional costumes of Zhuangxiang women, and wearing boat-shaped embroidered shoes on her feet. She has a plump and graceful figure, quite the beauty of a gentle woman in a water village .However, when the boatman's daughter-in-law served the players, she lowered her head the whole time and didn't even say hello to the players.After putting all the dishes on the table, she silently took the tray and left.

When the boatman's daughter-in-law served the dishes, Jiang Wenyuan was very close to her, so he saw many details.

The boatman's daughter-in-law's long hair wrapped under a turban can be described as white hair mixed with black hair, and there are fine wrinkles at the corners of her eyes.But these are not the most serious. The hands of the boatman's daughter-in-law, due to being soaked in the water for a long time, have a very unnatural grayish white skin, and there are several wounds on her fingers, which are also due to continuous contact with water. It has never been better.The captain's daughter-in-law had a dull expression, her eyes were dead, and there was not even a trace of light in her eyes.

Jiang Wenyuan was able to observe the results in just a few minutes of serving time. The boatman gets along with his wife every day, so there is no reason why he can't see it.Jiang Wenyuan's eyes fell on the boatman. The boatman had a ruddy complexion, short black hair, and a very strong body.To exaggerate, the boatman and his daughter-in-law do not look like a husband and wife, but like a haggard mother and a stalwart son.

The boatman didn't notice Jiang Wenyuan's dark gaze. He sat at the dinner table with the players, and articulately introduced the delicious dishes made by his wife to the players.The staple food is Xiaolongbao and rice. The meat dishes include salted water duck, spiced stewed meat, stir-fried crab, steamed sea bass, etc. Vegetarian dishes are also very rich, and the most distinctive ones are sweet-scented osmanthus root and dried plum vegetables.It is also an unparalleled enjoyment to listen to the boatman's vivid introduction of the dishes while eating delicious food.

A chubby foodie player tapped the soup plate in the middle of the dining table with his chopsticks, "Boss, you haven't introduced this soup to us yet. Tell me, what kind of soup is it?"

The boatman smiled, "Don't worry, I'll introduce it to you. This turtle stewed chicken soup is made by my daughter-in-law with three hours of careful cooking with ingredients such as turtles, native chicken, shiitake mushrooms, red dates, shrimps, and squid silk. The taste is delicious and very nourishing. Speaking of this turtle, it is a must in our Zhuang Township. Yangcheng Lake is famous for hairy crabs, and Wutang Lake in our Zhuang Township is famous for its turtles. The water environment of Wutang Lake is very suitable for turtles to survive. The turtles swimming out of Wutang Lake can be salvaged in the rivers of Zhuang Township. Turtles are home-cooked dishes on our dinner table, and there are many stories related to turtles in Zhuang Township. All in all, turtles are the symbol of Zhuang Township. The shell is the totem of Zhuang Township. Tourists who come to Zhuang Township to play, you should pay attention to some places, it is best not to slander the turtle, and it is best to avoid words like turtle bastard when swearing.

After the boatman finished saying the word "turtle bastard", he grabbed a ball of white rice with his hands, put it in his mouth, chewed it, and spat it out again.

After the boatman finished his ceremonial actions, the relaxed atmosphere at the dinner table gradually became a little heavy.

Jiang Wenyuan filled two bowls of tortoise stewed chicken soup for himself and Chen Mian, and asked the boatman, "Boss, can you tell us some stories about tortoises?"

The boatman drank a few glasses of wine to get rid of bad luck, and said with some complacency: "Then let me tell the story about my wife and I."

The boatman's name is Wei Fengdeng, his wife's name is Dong Xiaowan, and they are destined to be baby relatives.

The origin of this doll's relative has to start from their grandfather's generation.Zhuang Township has a lot of water, and the land is very precious. At that time, neither the Wei family nor the Dong family had land property, and their lives were not affluent.The way the two families thought of making money at the same time was to raise tortoises in captivity, and then sell the tortoises to other places to make money.People in Zhuangxiang have been dealing with tortoises for many years and know their habits very well. After several attempts, the tortoise ponds of Wei's and Dong's families were successfully built.

Tortoises start to mate in late April, and the egg-laying period is from May to August, and the egg-laying period is completed three to four times a year.Under natural conditions, turtle eggs hatch into young turtles after fifty to eighty days.After hatching, the young turtles can enter the water and live independently, and it is very worry-free to take care of them.

While the Wei family and the Dong family were happily waiting for the young turtle to grow up, the two families discovered a problem at the same time.

Ninety percent of the first batch of hatchlings hatched by the Wei family were males; ninety percent of the first batch of hatchlings hatched by the Dong family were females.The Dong family is not bad, there are more female turtles, and the next generation of young turtles can be guaranteed, but the extra female turtles that can't mate are wasted.Compared with the Dong family, the Wei family is in a miserable situation. There are very few female turtles, and there is no way to guarantee the number of the next batch of hatchlings.

At that time in Zhuang Township, there were only two turtle breeders. When the two heads of the Wei family and the Dong family had a drink together, if you add up, you have more males and fewer females, and I have more males and fewer females. The phenomenon of inbreeding is a great thing.

So the Wei family and the Dong family changed from being in charge of each family to a cooperative relationship.At that time, the relationship between the two families was very close. Because of the relationship formed by raising tortoises, the two heads of the family thought it was a heaven-sent marriage, and they agreed that the Wei and Dong families must form in-laws. Unfortunately, both of them gave birth to only sons of Miao Miao. , Their wish to get married fell through.If the children cannot get married, then there are grandchildren!So the marriage agreement was extended to the grandchildren.

There is no need to go into details about getting rich in the middle, Wei Fengdeng concluded: "In fact, in our generation, when science gradually developed, we realized that at that time, the Wei family raised nine males and one female tortoise, and the Dong family had nine females and one male. There is a scientific basis. The sex of the turtle hatched is related to the temperature of the water. When the temperature is 25 degrees Celsius, the hatchlings are male turtles, and when the temperature is above 28 degrees Celsius, the hatchlings are female turtles. The pond of our Weijia turtle is secluded It is shady and cool, and the pond where Dong’s family raises turtles is often exposed to the sun, so there is such a result. Isn’t this story about turtles very interesting?”

Jiang Wenyuan looked at Wei Fengdeng silently. Wei Fengdeng told them this story and popularized the knowledge of turtle hatching to them. Was he simply telling a story, or was he using scientific principles to refute the god-given marriage that Grandpa Wei believed?

After Jiang Wenyuan squandered twenty dolls without even batting an eye, Gan Tiantian completely let herself go. Anyway, no matter how she pretended to be an ostrich, if Jiang Wenyuan wanted her to die, it would be a matter of minutes.All players defaulted to the right to question Wei Fengdeng as Jiang Wenyuan, sweet and sweet, she grabbed the conversation and asked Wei Fengdeng: "Master, I am particularly interested in turtles, can you take us to see what you raise?" A pond for turtles?"

Wei Fengdeng shook his head, "There were some accidents in our two families, and now we no longer raise turtles, and have switched to tourism and hotel business. The two turtle ponds have been sold to others to raise fish, so it's not convenient to show you."

As for what happened to the Wei family and the Dong family, Wei Fengdeng didn't mean to say it.

After dinner, Jiang Wenyuan asked Wei Fengdeng to watch a play, "Isn't there a stage in your residence? I want to watch a play related to the local culture and customs of Zhuang Township. You can arrange it for me as soon as possible. The money is not enough." question."

Wei Fengdeng was overjoyed when he heard the money, "Of course it's no problem. If it's quick, I can arrange it for you tonight, and I can arrange it for you tomorrow at the latest. I will definitely not keep you waiting. You should rest first." , I will contact the most famous troupe in Zhuang Township to perform Zhuang Township Shadow Puppetry for you. We have little land in Zhuang Township, and the place for group activities is not spacious on weekdays. Enough. Because there are many performances on weekdays, the masters of shadow puppetry are all superb, and you will definitely get an excellent audio-visual enjoyment!"

Wei Fengdeng didn't take the water, and when he reached the gate of the residence, he turned back and yelled in the direction of the kitchen, "Mother, put the dishes away, go and clean the theater table first, and then go to clean up the dishes! "

Wei Fengdeng seemed to be afraid that Jiang Wenyuan would take back his words of wanting to watch a play, so he hurriedly left the residence and went to ask a play troupe.A few minutes after Wei Fengdeng left, Dong Xiaowan held a bamboo broom and dustpan in one hand, and a rag wrung out of water in the other, facing the torch-like gaze of the players, he walked slowly from among the players After passing through, she came to the open stage and began to work hard.Dong Xiaowan worked very slowly, but she was meticulous and did not leave any dust, completely ignoring the players around her.

Jiang Wenyuan was very curious about Dong Xiaowan, but he didn't go up to talk to her immediately, but stood by and observed her.

Jiang Wenyuan didn't make a move, and he tolerated Gan Tiantian's behavior of grabbing words just now, and the other players were a little bit ready to move, gearing up for action.Mo Fan, who wanted to use non-existent photos to help Jiang Wenyuan clear his suspicions, took the lead. He walked towards Dong Xiaowan and stopped more than one meter away from her, "Hello, boss lady. Let's hear from the boss. Speaking of the story of your betrothal marriage, the two of you have lived together since childhood, and the relationship must be very deep, right?"

When Dong Xiaowan heard Mo Fan's words, he paused for a moment, then continued to work, neither looking at Mo Fan nor responding to his words.

Seeing that Dong Xiaowan didn't want to talk to her, Mo Fan gave Dong Xiaowan a strong dose of medicine, saying to his heart, "If your husband and wife have a very deep relationship, why do you look unhappy at all, with bruises all over your body and gray hair? You and Wei Fengdeng Standing together, you don't look like a couple of the same age at all, you go out together, tell people you don't know that you are mother and son, they will believe it. Dong Xiaowan, are you being tortured by Wei Fengdeng?"

Dong Xiaowan's expression remained unchanged, she continued to work at the original speed, as if Mo Fan was completely transparent.Seeing that Dong Xiaowan was completely indifferent to his words, Mo Fan stopped entanglement. He didn't know how far the troupe was from the residence. If it was close, when Wei Fengdeng came back from the troupe and saw that he was embarrassing Dong Xiaowan, he would be furious. It would be difficult to drive him out of the residence.

Mo Fan pulled away in time, and several players tried to contact Dong Xiaowan one after another.One of the pair of male and female players tried to use violence to force Dong Xiaowan to speak. The female player with a short shaved head held Dong Xiaowan's wrist and wrinkled her nose fiercely, "Why do you smell disgusting, when you cook for us Did you take care of your personal hygiene?!"

Dong Xiaowan didn't say a word when she was caught, she still hung her head and refused to look at anyone.The male player with long hair and pigtails grabbed Dong Xiaowan's turban, trying to force her to look up.

"Hey, you guys are enough!" Gan Tiantian rushed over angrily, pushed the braided male player away, and then slapped the inch-cut female player on the face. The female player couldn't pull Dong Xiaowan, so she had to let go of her wrist. Step back to avoid the sweet disfiguring palm.Gan Tiantian stood in front of Dong Xiaowan, and said insinuatingly: "You people, don't be too much! What's going on in this round of games, you like to attack people with words, you like to subdue people with violence, who started this bad atmosphere? .”

Jiang Wenyuan spied a few words on Gan Tiantian, and Gan Tiantian exploded.Gan Tiantian satirized Jiang Wenyuan, but Jiang Wenyuan was not angry at all.Jiang Wenyuan has a good temper and doesn't care about the little girl, but Chen Mian is still immersed in the role of the charming lady's girlfriend, he snorted very disdainfully, "Gan Tiantian, what's so proud of you, isn't it because you saw it right?" My dear has a good temper, don’t you care about it? If you do the math, I will never end with you when you slander my dear. Don’t think I didn’t see you staring at my dear on the boat! And those two A player who doesn't have long eyes and is violent towards women, restrain your behavior, and don't give some villains an excuse to smear my dear face!"

"You——!" Gan Tiantian was choked by Chen Mian, and she didn't dare to continue. She ignored Jiang Wenyuan and Chen Mian, turned around to look at Dong Xiaowan, and asked her in a soft tone, "Did you If you are scared, don’t be afraid, I will not let them bully you again, if anyone dares to bully you again, I will tell Wei Fengden and let your husband teach them for you.”

Hearing Gan Tiantian's words, Dong Xiaowan reacted for the first time. She kept her head down, shook her head gently, and said a few words to Gan Tiantian in a mosquito-like voice.Except for Gan Tiantian, no one could hear what Dong Xiaowan said, and because of the wrong angle, there was no way to read what her lips said.

Anyway, after Dong Xiaowan finished speaking, Gan Tiantian left the stage and stopped talking to Dong Xiaowan.

Jiang Wenyuan called Gan Tiantian back, "Gan Tiantian, what did Dong Xiaowan tell you just now?"

Gan Tiantian puffed up her face like a poisonous puffer fish, "If you tell me to say it, I'll say it, wouldn't it be embarrassing for me? If you want information, you have to pay a price. Give and take. I have learned English in elementary school."

Jiang Wenyuan took out a doll very timidly, "Is it enough?"

Gan Tiantian didn't burst her cheeks and leaked air, doll, how worthwhile it is to exchange a little bit of insignificant information for a doll!But Gan Tiantian's self-esteem is extremely high, even if her heart is bleeding, she is unwilling to accept such an unfair deal.Gan Tiantian pointed at Chen Mian, and said stiffly: "I don't need your doll, let her apologize to me for what she just said, and I will tell you what Dong Xiaowan said."

Jiang Wenyuan snorted, and he put his arms around Chen Mian's shoulders, "I'll exchange two dolls for a sentence of information for you."

Gan Tiantian was once again turned into a puffer fish. What brand of dog food are these? Poisonous!

I would rather give a doll than apologize, why not go to heaven!
