Chapter 81 Shameless

Chen Afu said with a smile, "Uncle Luo, please have lunch at my house. I will cook some of my specialties. Please have a taste."

Small Steward Luo said without hesitation, "Okay. I heard from my brother Cheng and girl Mei that the Chen family's wife cooks delicious dishes." He added, "It's not lively when there are few people drinking. Go and call Gao Lizheng and Wu Mujiang. Go to Shangshui Village and tell Liu Lizheng that I'm here. Let him come to drink. And Yu the landlord and Yu Lizheng from Guqiao Village, call them too."

Chen Ming, Chen Ye and others were stunned when they heard these legendary figures.

Chen Afu said with a smile, "Okay, okay." He admired the maturity of Small Steward Luo. He called the most powerful and respectable people in the neighborhood to the Chen family for dinner. Without saying a word, he could also shock Hu Laowu.

Chen Afu and Wang made tea, took out peanuts and candies to entertain the guests, and then left.

Chen Afu said to Wang, "Mom, go to Guqiao Village to buy meat quickly. Buy a few pounds of fat and lean hind leg meat, a few ribs, a pound of tenderloin, and some pork liver and pork head meat. On the way, buy a few pounds of good wine at the village entrance."

He called Chen Agui out again and asked him to help invite the people that Luo Xiaoguanshi wanted to invite. Chen Agui hurriedly agreed to invite them.

Chen Afu took Zhuifeng to the vegetable garden to pick vegetables, and hurried back to work.

Gao Lizheng and Wu Mujiang came to Chen's house one after another. Wu Mujiang was very polite and brought a carp and a bowl of quail eggs.

With so many distinguished guests, Chen Laotai's feet were also full of wind, and she ran out to help Chen Afu with her work. Chen Afu didn't dare to kill the chicken, and it was Chen Laotai who helped to kill it.

After Yu the landlord, Yu the village chief, and Liu the village chief arrived, the hut was a little full, so everyone sat under the jujube tree in the yard and chatted. Chen Afu and Chen Agui moved Chen Afu and his friends' new table and stools.

The villagers passing by Chen's house were envious of seeing so many distinguished guests sitting in his yard.

Luo Xiaoguanshi talked about how good his family was with the second branch of the Chen family, how his father valued Chen Dabao, saying that the child would have a great future, and how his two children loved to eat his family's food...

These were all smart people, and they kept agreeing.

At this time, four unexpected guests came - Yang Mingyuan, Yang Chao, and Yang Qian, and they brought a man in his thirties. Chen Afu also knew that man, who was the chef of Xile Restaurant and taught him how to make braised meat last time. They also brought many gifts.

Chen Afu felt that Yang Mingyuan should have come earlier, and didn't know why he came today.

Luo, the young steward, actually knew Yang Mingyuan. He was surprised to see him coming. He bowed and said, "Hey, Uncle Yang, why are you here?"

Yang Mingyuan bowed and smiled, "Uncle Luo, nice to meet you. My children want to play with Dabao, and I also want to talk to the Chen family about business, so I came."

Chen Afu asked A Lu to lead Yang Chao and his sister to play with two birds and a dog in the new yard, and asked Chen Agui to lead Dabao to Tangyuan to invite Luo Mingcheng and Luo Mei.

After thinking for a while, he said, "Call Dahu and Daya, and the children will have fun together."

Chen Agui shook his head and said, "Forget it, if they come, I..." He didn't dare to say that his mother would come with him. All the guests who came today were distinguished guests, and he was afraid that his mother would say something inappropriate when she came. Besides, it was obvious that they came today to support the second house and deal with Hu Laowu.

After Luo Mingcheng and Luo Mei came, Dabao called Xiao Shitou over, and the new courtyard became even more lively. The children teased Qiqi and Huihui, and the laughter continued.

It was time to eat. The old courtyard had one table for the distinguished guests. The new courtyard had another table, and the old lady brought the children. Chen Afu and Wang were busy in the kitchen.

First, the cut braised pig head, braised hind legs, braised spareribs, braised pork liver, braised dried tofu, braised quail eggs, cold mixed shreds, cold mixed cucumbers, and fried peanuts were served on the table, so that they could slowly drink.

Luo Xiaoguan had wondered what business dealings Yang Mingyuan had with the Chen family before, but after eating the braised dishes, he understood a little. The taste was almost the same as the unique nine-spice braised meat of Xile Restaurant. Luo Guanshi and his son both liked to eat nine-spice braised meat, and they would go to Xile Restaurant to buy it whenever they went to the county town. Sometimes when they went to the prefecture city, they would also take a detour to the county town to buy more and return to honor their grandfather.

In fact, he felt that the taste here was even more fragrant. Not only the braised dishes, but all the dishes were delicious, even the cucumber was crispier and more tender. No wonder his two children liked to eat the dishes of this family so much.

Then, steamed pork with longan, golden pork, braised fish, two vegetarian dishes, and finally stewed chicken were served.

If Chen Afu guessed correctly, Yang Mingyuan came here today for the golden pork.

Sweet-scented osmanthus glutinous rice dates are easy to make, but golden pork is not easy to make authentic. Even if the taste of the meat is similar, it is definitely not possible to make the texture of crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. First of all, bread crumbs are not available in this era, and the meat must be loosened with the back of a knife first, so that it will not be tough when eaten.

When everyone was enjoying the meal, Hu Laowu suddenly came.

Hu Laowu has a certain reputation in Xiangluo Village and even in several nearby villages. Many people invite guests, especially guests of honor, whether they are sincere or not, and they will invite him to accompany them.

He laughed shamelessly, "Oh, what good news is blowing in Brother Chen's house today? There are so many distinguished guests." He smiled and said to Chen Ming, "You asked Agui to come to my house to invite me to accompany the distinguished guests for dinner, right? Oh, I went to the county town yesterday and just came back."

What a thick skin.

Chen Ming glanced at him, turned his head away with a gloomy face.

Steward Luo said with a half-smile, "Uncle Chen's family didn't plan to invite you to dinner, but I would like to invite Master Hu Wu to discuss some things later. You are here too early."

Hu Laowu was completely unaware and laughed, "In front of Master Luo, I dare not call you Master. Brother Chen is my relative, I should have come earlier to help him entertain the distinguished guests." He said to Chen Agui, "Go, get a stool for my uncle."

Among the people at this table, Hu Laowu was really afraid of only Steward Luo and Landlord Yu, because the backers of these two people were much stronger than him. Especially the father and son of the Luo family. According to his fourth brother-in-law, even the county magistrate and the county lieutenant had to give face.

He was not afraid of the other several village heads. But if they joined hands to deal with him, he would be afraid.

There was another young man at the table that Hu Laowu had never seen, but as soon as he saw his dress and demeanor, Hu Laowu could guess that he was not an ordinary person.

Hu Laowu went from a small country gangster to a big gangster today, and naturally he had his own survival rules.

His face was full of smiles, and he kept saying flattering words. As soon as he sat down, he punished himself with three cups of wine, saying that he was late and neglected the distinguished guest.

Chen Afu gritted his teeth when he heard it in the kitchen, and Wang also cursed in a low voice, "Damn you, shameless."

Luo Xiaoguanshi saw that Hu Laowu had finished his muttering, and repeated his words about the close relationship between his family and the second branch of the Chen family. After that, he changed the topic and asked Chen Ming, "I heard that your Dabao was bullied? Someone even threw manure water into your yard last night?"

Thank you q sour and soft p, the wallet of life like water.
