Chapter 764: The Magpie Calls, the Noble Arrives (Third Watch)
"Hey! I said, guys, why is the kitchen so lively? If you don't cook well, what are you doing? Li Yanhong heard the laughter in the kitchen, and hurriedly came over and asked.
"I said Yanhong, look at you, this proud gentleman, it's so powerful, three times five divided by two, eight dishes and one soup will be alive, if I am asked to do it, it will take two hours. Yanhong, if you meet such a capable man, you will wait to enjoy Qingfu in the future! Coco Zhang said.
"I said sister-in-law, don't slap my brother's ass, let's hurry up and set the table for food and drink." Zhang Zheng picked up the plate of spiced chicken and walked out of the kitchen first.
Originally, Li Laohan planned to let Master Zhang, a guest from afar, sit on the top seat, but due to the identity of this master Zhang, he became his daughter's boyfriend and became his future son-in-law, so he had to come again. As a result, the two old men sat on the upper seat, and Zhang Zheng sat on the seat of the guest.
At the beginning of the banquet, it was naturally the host Li Laohan who said a few words first.
"Early this morning, there was a magpie on the persimmon tree, as the saying goes, the magpie called, the noble person arrived, it was really like this, no, the noble Xiao Zheng came to our house. I propose, this first glass of wine, for Xiao Zheng to become a toast to our family! Li Haoran, the old man of Li, tilted his head and simply drank the wine in the cup.
"Dad, drink slowly, don't hurt your body." Li Yanhong said.
"Hey! What kind of wine is this? The taste is too pure. The old man asked.
"Old man, this time, I didn't bring anything else for you, so I brought you two cases of liquor, both of which are sixty-eight-year-old Moutai, you can drink it slowly." Zhang Zheng said to the old man.
"Ahh Sixty-eight years? So, this wine is so old, why can't the taste be so pure? Is it worthy of being the first wine in China? Xiao Zheng, this wine is very expensive, right? Li Laohan asked.
"The price is ok. At the Hong Kong auction the year before last, a bottle of this wine had been auctioned for more than 200,000 yuan. Zhang Zheng introduced.
"Ah, why is it so expensive?" After listening to Zhang Zheng's introduction, everyone asked in surprise.
"After the people's war, the eight-year War of Resistance Against Japan, the four-year Liberation War and the ten-year Cultural Revolution, there are not many of this kind of wine in the world. Besides, this kind of wine was produced in 1911, the year when the Xinhai Revolution overthrew the Qing Dynasty, and it has a special commemorative significance, so its collection value is higher, which is why it is so expensive. Zhang Zheng continued.
"Ahh According to what you say, I drank almost 10,000 yuan or 20,000 yuan in one gulp? Li Laohan said.
Zhang Zheng said: "Let's just say that, 10,000 yuan is only a lot more." ”
Li Laohan said: "Then why are we so wasteful of money? Or switch to a bottled bar produced in town. ”
A bottle of wine is more than 200,000 yuan, and it is just drunk like this, which is really unacceptable for these farmers who have not yet solved the problem of food and clothing.
"Old man, although people often say that the courtesy is light and affectionate, but I think the courtesy is also affectionate, this wine is my filial piety to your old, representing a piece of the junior's heart, no matter how expensive the wine is, don't you have to drink it to the stomach in the end? If they are kept to drink in other people's stomachs, why don't we drink them in our own stomachs? Zhang Zheng began to fool the old man.
"Well, although there is some truth in what you said, the current problem of food and clothing has not really been solved, and it always feels a little too extravagant and too much to drink with so much money." Li Haoran said.
"Don't worry, from now on, there will be no food and clothing problems in our family, so don't worry about money when you are old. If the money is not enough, I will let Sister Li send it home on time. Zhang Zheng said.
"Don't send money home anymore, the 200,000 yuan you sent solves all the problems in the family, as long as I and your aunt have no major physical problems, these money will have to be used for many years?" Li Laohan said.
"Dad, Brother Zhang sent so much rice noodles and cooking oil this time, and there is no problem with the family's life, why do you still collect his money?" Li Yanchun said.
"I said, big brother, what you really lack now is money, and you can't do anything without money. And you have no way to make money, just relying on these few acres of land, your stomach can't be filled, let alone getting rich and becoming a 10,000-yuan household, with money, you can be useful. Zhang Zheng said.
"What Brother Zhang said is very reasonable, the countryside is now the status quo, relying on you and your sister's help, after all, it is not a matter, giving full play to subjective initiative and getting rich is the right way." Li Yanchun said.
"This is exactly the problem I want to talk about, I give the 200,000 yuan to the family, focusing on solving the nutritional problems of the elderly and children, followed by quickly renovating the yard and house, making the home a little decent, and then paying off the debt. You want to get rich with the idea, I support you, I will pay the capital, you are right, we can't sit idly by, let alone do nothing, we should find a way to make the family rich. Is there anything to do in the village or locally? Zhang Zheng asked.
