Chapter 526: What to eat while traveling

~8 min read 1,554 words

Rural people pay attention to one sentence: enjoying happiness when young is not happiness, enjoying happiness when old is happiness!

They also have a sentence: enjoying the happiness of children is happiness!

Song Sancheng is now in such a stage—old, and the children are capable.

Their family's Qiaoqiao was like that before, who in the village didn't sigh when mentioning it? The two of them were afraid that they would have to worry about their son until they closed their eyes! After all, the sister who is the elder sister has to get married and take care of her husband's family!

Now it's good, this Tantan didn't make a sound, such a big courage, a loan of millions!

People in the village know that only capable people can handle loans in this era! When did the bank ever pay attention to their small common people?

—I heard that there is a Professor Song who has been on the news living at home now. If there is no connection, can he be invited?

Amazing, amazing

This Song Sancheng, I didn't expect him to be so blessed in his later years!

Oh my, this girl Tantan, I originally thought that since she's pretty and well-educated, it would be good enough if she found a good husband's family later to look after the old Song family, but now it seems...

No wonder no one in the village introduced her to anyone!

She's just too capable; how could an ordinary person be a match for her!

Several old men sat there, their faces more solemn than anyone else's, but in reality, the gossip in their hearts was turning the world upside down!

Smelling this bird-like tea fragrance, blowing on the hot tea, and then taking a light sip...

Why else would they say it! Wherever money is spent, it's good!

They hadn't drunk other famous teas, but the taste in their mouths was truly worth millions!

Song Sancheng sat there holding his teacup, watching the villagers chat from 【Tantan has the ability to take out a loan of millions】 to 【Song Sancheng will be blessed when he gets old】...

And then to—

【This house is really imposing, no wonder it could be built so well, it turns out Tantan has the ability to take out a loan of millions】

The topics were bizarrely twisting toward the millions; in short, it had nothing to do with him.

It wasn't until Until Wu Lan entered the living room that they were rescued:

"Dinner is ready! Sancheng, hurry up and get the wine; you guys have a few drinks at noon!"

In the village, serving wine to guests is a must!

Song Sancheng hurried into the house; he didn't bring out any good wine, just a bottle worth a hundred yuan or so that someone had sent to the house.

When everyone entered the dining room and looked:

"Whoa! This place where you eat is imposing!"

Of course, a large round table in a large room, it's more than enough to seat thirty people!

And at this moment, on the table, to show the sincerity of hospitality, there were four solid, large basins!

A large basin of scallion-braised crucian carp, with large handfuls of green scallion segments added, and fresh, tender fat (huoxiang) wrapped inside, combined with the fresh fragrance of the fish, it rushed straight to the brain!

Next was the chive and small river shrimp, green chives and orange-red shrimp, a full large basin, the colors were so bright!

Following closely was the green pepper stir-fried eggs; the eggs were all laid by their own chickens, a large basin stir-fried, and when the golden eggs expanded in the hot oil, even Seventh Uncle couldn't help but fry two and eat them first!

It was just too fragrant!

The last basin had nothing to say, purple-red stir-fried amaranth; seeing Song Tan's gaze look over, Seventh Uncle was still proud:

"How about it? I scattered the seeds on the piece of land near the edge of the field where tobacco was originally planted, and I didn't really manage it, but there are still some tender ones now, so I pinched them back."

The entire dining room was filled with this overbearing yet not chaotic fragrance, which left everyone stunned.

To be fair, this wasn't their first time eating at Song Tan's house.

But when they first started helping out, nothing had grown in the fields yet! The vegetables, meat, and eggs they ate were all purchased from the town.

At most, there were some wild vegetables mixed in; they were delicious, but the quantity was limited.

Seventh Uncle's craftsmanship is top-notch, and they still reminisce about it every few days.

But putting that taste from their memory into the present, they didn't even need to eat; they were already blown away by this fragrance!

"Goodness... this is so fragrant..."

Zhou Maozhu sat there, holding his chopsticks, staring blankly, and only managed to say these few words after a long time.

Not to mention the others; they couldn't even spare the energy for that "great Professor Song," as their minds were now filled only with eating, eating, eating!

Coincidentally, Professor Song and his students were also swallowing their saliva.

It wasn't until Song Youde and Song Tan's grandparents came over that everyone finally came back to their senses.

Song Sancheng held his wine glass, wanting to say something, but at a glance, he saw the chubby crucian carp in the basin—oh my, crucian carp in this season, are there still fish roe in their bellies?

If you finish the fish and reveal a piece of golden, fragrant fish roe in the belly...

Slurp!

He simply raised his glass: "Nothing else to say, everyone start eating! Pour your own wine! By the way, there's silver ear soup in the pot over there, don't forget it, everyone!"

Got it!

Who still has the energy to drink wine? Hurry up and eat!

There was a feast of fish and meat at home, while Zhang Yanping, far away in Haicheng, put down his chopsticks in depression.

When he looked up again, he saw Xin Jun peeling a large crab in a leisurely manner, and Qiaoqiao was also burying his head in eating sea urchin steamed egg...

"Am I the only one who is picky? How can you guys still eat?"

If you ask, it's regret!

One regret is being too loose with his hands, going to some cliff restaurant, getting lost in the continuous flattery of the crowd, and emptying his backpack!

The second is regret—

When packing his luggage, the suitcase clearly wasn't full, so why didn't they stuff more things in?

Sour cowpeas are fine, pickled vegetables are fine, green pepper sauce or garlic chili sauce are all okay—

Why did each person only bring two bottles!

Now it's fine; without side dishes, eating seafood in Haicheng feels like something is still missing.

The crab is fresh, the crab meat is fresh and sweet, the sea urchin steamed egg has a unique flavor, and the mantis shrimp are even chubby; it's not the same taste as the shriveled ones they ate in Yuncheng!

But!

But it's just missing something! It's missing that little bit of soul!

Zhang Yanping looked at the two people opposite him in accusation; although only one day had passed, he felt he had lost at least two jin.

Xin Jun:...

He slowly put down the crab in his hand, his expression very impatient:

"Can you shut up?"

"The food wasn't good to begin with; it's purely because we're already here, and there's nothing else to eat. You're still muttering... aren't you hungry?"

Looking at Qiaoqiao again, he also sighed: "Brother Yanping, you're too picky!"

Zhang Yanping felt aggrieved: "I'm hungry, that's why I'm even pickier!"

He has been picky about food since he was a child; if he weren't picky about food, where would he have found so many delicious fruits at home?

If he weren't picky, how could a grown man hold a job in the village with a salary of one or two thousand a month and remain as steady as Mount Tai!

The villagers themselves don't even look down on this salary!

Xin Jun's action of wiping his mouth paused.

He looked at Qiaoqiao: "Qiaoqiao, how is the sea? Is it beautiful?"

Qiaoqiao nodded frantically: "Especially beautiful! You can't see such a big one at home!"

"Hmm," Xin Jun nodded: "Since that's the case, while your thirty thousand yuan hasn't been spent yet, let's go back."

He had the thoughtfulness of a teacher: "Qiaoqiao's money was also earned through his own hard work; this time we'll spend a little less, and next time we can bring Mom and Dad to see the sea. This is also Qiaoqiao's filial piety."

Qiaoqiao was stunned: "Ah?"

However, Xin Jun's attitude was gentle, but his tone was firm: "And Qiaoqiao performed especially well, and his learning progress is also keeping up quickly, so the teacher decided to reward Qiaoqiao with two Ultramen!"

"Now, the express delivery should have already arrived home."
