Of course, the Hong family and the Shou family are slow tables. The elders sit at the same table with the newcomers, and the other juniors sit together.
So the brothers from the An family sat next to Hong Yanwu.
As soon as they started eating, these two people immediately let the children of the Hong family and the Shou family realize their skills. Everyone on the table only had one or two chopsticks. Half the plate of pork head meat in front of them was gone.
After blinking a few more times, half of the elbow was gone.
To put it bluntly, these two brothers are simply born carnivores, and they don't feel tired of any amount of fat. It was like flying chopsticks, jealous of "meat" and wanting to wipe it all away.
This way of eating made Hong Yanru and Hong Jun dumbfounded, and they didn't dare to hold out their chopsticks for a while.
Hong Yanwu looked at it but only found it funny, and teased him half-jokingly.
"Sun, moon, you eat slowly, no one will fight with you, be careful before you choke. I'm really surprised, we had dinner together yesterday and you weren't like this. Why don't you know anyone now?" Who?"
An Yueliang was completely nonchalant and kept eating without missing a beat. As he chewed, he said in a lumpen-proletarian tone, "Yesterday was yesterday and today is today. Revolution is not a dinner party, writing an article, painting or embroidering, it cannot be that elegant. , so calm, gentle, and gentle. Revolution is a riot, a violent action in which one class overthrows another class..."
An Yangyang was embarrassed. He couldn't help but control the speed of his chopsticks and explained to Hong Yanwu. That's what happened on the scene. It's just a habit. Now I can't hold my tongue. He also said that this was already the speed of a slow table. If he didn't believe it, he would know it just by looking back.
Looking at the results, it turned out to be true! Only those who turn around can truly understand what it means to be "fast enough to cover your ears" and what it means to be "fast enough to cover your eyes".
How dare those fast-food tables in the back even remove all the plates. The desktop has long been swept away and it has been "turned upside down and generous".
Everyone smoked, chatted, and stretched their necks to look at the greenhouse, all looking forward to the arrival of hot dishes.
It is indeed worthy of the title of "Fast Table"!
At this time, Hong Yanwen and Shouzhen, who had experience in queue jumping, couldn't help but echoed, saying that when they were educated youths, they had to fight for seats in the village like this, otherwise they would not get anything.
He also said that even if they fight bravely, they educated youths cannot compare with the locals. What I practice is boy's kung fu. I have experienced this kind of scene since I was a child. There is real kung fu on the chopsticks. It is absolutely stable, accurate and ruthless.
Before they finished speaking, the hot dishes started to be served, which immediately proved the authenticity of their remarks.
I saw the first big steaming bowl at one end of a "fast table". Before Hong Yanwu and the others could see clearly what it was, they copied it in with several pairs of chopsticks. Only after the chopsticks were removed one after another did they see what was inside the bowl. There was only a piece of potato on the bottom with some oil on it.
Before the second bowl was put on the table, most of it was taken away by someone "fetching things from the air".
The third bowl was served with a large bowl of sliver meat, and the people at the "fast table" immediately stood up and cheered to greet it.
Those who are thin and weak are either squeezed out after a vague glance, or they are unable to get in at all. Almost in an instant, there was only an empty bowl on the table, and even the soup was gone.
To be honest, even Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan, who had grabbed food in the labor camp, couldn't help but stare at such an exaggerated scene.
Chen Liquan couldn't help but whispered to Hong Yanwu, "It's really edible. Usually, when there is little oil and water, people almost turn into wolves..."
Hong Yanwu couldn't help but sigh, it's all this "movement". Who would have thought that it would turn farmers all over the world like this without seeing it with their own eyes.
At this moment, the newcomers finally came over to toast, thus drawing everyone's attention back to their own table.
The groom Zhaoqing was so happy today that he and everyone at the table drank a glass of wine. That is full of sincerity.
The new daughter-in-law, Xiaoqin, looked shy and followed Zhaoqing without saying a word, just smiling. There were two deep wine dimples on her face, which looked very gentle and cute.
The two of them are standing together now, showing that they are a perfect match made in heaven.
Of course, now everyone will say something like "Eternal Life" and "Long Life Together" to suit the occasion.
Only An Yangyang was grinning when he clinked glasses with Zhaoqing. He complained very dissatisfiedly that he was not allowed to be the best man.
Xiao Qin is not shy about showing off to her mother-in-law's brother, and now she is very excited about it. Protecting Zhaoqing, he scolded her openly.
"Brother Ritou, what are you talking about? If you don't have a bridesmaid, what do you want the best man to do? If you really stand aside, people will think that three people are getting married. Besides, the bridesmaid is from her mother's family, and I have never heard of her mother's brother going to marry the groom. As a bridesmaid..."
In one sentence, An Yangyang was stunned.
Zhaoqing naturally wanted to smooth things over, so he quickly jumped in and said something to make everyone feel free to eat. It's enough for today, so don't be polite.
These few words really appealed to An Yueliang's temper, and he spoke frankly.
"You're welcome, I eat beautifully. I wish someone would get married every day."
Unexpectedly, An Yangyang was not in a good mood, so he immediately poked him after hearing this.
"You are more ridiculous than me! Without pigs, there is no point in getting married a hundred times."
This sentence definitely had an eye-catching effect and immediately made everyone burst into laughter.
Not to mention, the truth often slips out of your mouth without paying attention...
The week after Zhaoqing's wedding ended uneventfully, and the countdown to Hong Yanwu's departure to Bincheng began.
The only thing Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan had to do was to prepare before leaving, buy train tickets and get fake letters of introduction. And buy some gifts for the boys in Bincheng.
As for other things, there are only a few things worth mentioning.
One is about flipping eggs.
On September 17, the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, An Yangyang hooked up with his younger brother An Yueliang, and the two of them officially started their first express delivery business.
Under Zhaoqing's arrangement, they also took a bus from the cement factory to the capital. Not only did he send Hong Yanwu the 500 eggs purchased by Zhaoqing, but he also brought two blue-spotted chins that Zhaoqing had specially captured for Shou Jingfang.
Hong Yanwu didn't disturb the family and took the two boys out for a meal at noon. I gave them sixty yuan and kept the eggs.
In fact, the price was also the result of a dispute. Hong Yanwu originally wanted to pay 15 cents, but before coming, Zhaoqing told An Yangyang that he could only take 10 cents.
So in the end, Hong Yanwu had no choice but to insist on paying for the An family brothers' errands. This is a disguised sign of celebration as the price of eggs remains at 12 cents.
And Hong Yanwu selling eggs is a bit special. Not only does he not make money, but he also has to make some money.
He kept two hundred eggs for himself and distributed some to relatives and friends in the usual way. The remaining three hundred were all transferred to the neighbors in the east and west courtyards at a low price of nine cents that day, a real loss of nine yuan.
It's not that he is stupid. In fact, he just wanted to help Zhaoqing with the egg matter. He just threw the money into the water for nothing without blinking an eye. But if you sell it at a high price for a few dollars, that would be a taboo.
On the contrary, as it is now, the price of fresh eggs is lower than the official price in grocery stores. Not only does it make people confused, but it is also very worry-free and labor-saving to dispose of eggs.
And thanks to his advantage, even the old ladies he had offended for Shui Qing smiled at him and stopped gossiping about him behind his back.
It is a good thing for him to make a profit at such a loss, both now and in the upcoming 1983 years. If things continue like this, is there anything more cost-effective than saving favors like this?
After talking about eggs, let’s talk about work.
Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan asked for leave almost twice in a row because of Zhaoqing's affairs.
Ordinarily, late summer and early autumn are busy times, so it would have been impossible. But Caitou Gao Qingtian didn't dare to offend them, so he decided privately and gritted his teeth and let him go.
But now because they are going to Bincheng, after returning from attending Zhaoqing's wedding, they have to ask for half a month's leave, and there is no guarantee that they will be able to come back on the day. Gao Qingtian was a bit overwhelmed.
For this reason, he tried to talk to his boss. When the leader of the vegetable company found out, of course he was very angry and refused to approve. Gao Qingtian could only reply to Hong Yanwu, saying that there was nothing he could do.
Unexpectedly, Hong Yanwu found it easy for him, and even treated him to a meal with Chen Liquan that day.
There are two main meanings. One is to thank him for taking care of him during this period, and the other is that they have decided not to work and asked him to go back and bring a message to the leader of the vegetable company. If he can get the salary and other things, it will all belong to him.
Just like that, Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan withdrew decisively and completely.
As a result, Gao Qingtian didn't think about it for a while. He really couldn't figure out what these two uncles were thinking.
Normally, they worked under him honestly every day, never caused any trouble to him, and were not even a bit "evil". From these aspects, you should know how to cherish this hard-earned job.
How can you work so well, but then turn around and find yourself giving up your job and money? Why do you still have to go to other places?
Just like this, the more I think about it, the scarier it becomes. Gao Qingtian thought Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan had committed some major crime. I was really on tenterhooks for a while, fearing that the police would come to my door one day to question me.
Later, because there was no movement, a few months later I heard someone say that I met Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan on the street and went to a restaurant. Only then did he put his heart at ease in his stomach.
But from beginning to end, he didn't understand this matter.
Actually, resignation is nothing in Hong Yanwu's eyes.
For him, this shabby job is temporary, and it will be gone if it is gone. Since it was the street director who found him in the first place, and someone still needs to tie the bell to untie the bell, it would be over if he went to the street director again. Anyway, he didn't have any other requirements, he just asked for shorter working hours.
What, will the street director be angry? No way, unless he doesn't need to buy a TV.
Yes, Hong Yanwu really guessed it correctly. In the subdistrict office, when he mentioned TV, the subdistrict director lost his temper. In addition to promising to resolve the matter for him as soon as possible, he also sent him out of the office with a smile that day.
Just like that, Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan had a completely free time again, and they could treat their trip to Bincheng as a free vacation.
