The rice cooked by the rice cooker is indeed good. The key is that it is worry-free. After using the rice cooker to cook, you no longer need to watch the fire on two stoves at the same time when cooking, which will be easier.
Another thing, as Su Tong said, when eating in winter, as long as the rice cooker is in the heat preservation state, you can have hot rice at any time, which is also an advantage.
By the time the steaming rice was served, the wine had already gone through three rounds and the food had gone through five flavors. When the men here drink, they don't serve the food right away. Instead, they drink, eat the vegetables, and punch or talk. When they are almost done eating, they will finally serve the rice. Once someone serves the rice, , it means that this person will never drink again.
Su Tong's face was slightly red and his mood was relatively high. Seeing him like this, Gao Mingcheng couldn't help but regret not stopping him from drinking.
Today, the two of them drank Site wine. This wine is particularly fragrant, but the alcohol content is high and it is easy to get drunk. However, even if you are drunk, your head will not hurt easily.
Originally, it would be okay to drink two more drinks, but Su Tong drove here, and drunk driving is a big problem!
"Brother Su, eat more food and rest here." Gao Mingcheng advised.
"Hey, I can't rest. You don't know. I'm very busy every day. I have to go to Yangcheng again on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year. I have to meet several people this day. And then my grandfather is old and not in good health. My dad asked me to live with my grandfather so I could spend more time with him." Su Tong also felt melancholy when it came to family matters.
After hearing this, Gao Mingcheng remembered that he still had about half a catty of ginseng at home, so he decided to give Su Tong two ginseng sticks.
The rice cooker, dried lychees and dried longans sent by Su Tong are also worth a lot of money and should be returned as gifts.
Because they had eaten a lot of wine and food before, they ate less food this time. After each of them had a bowl of rice, they were already full.
At this time, Duomei brought two bowls of hot soup and said, "I'll cook hangover soup for you. Remember to drink it later!"
The soup is golden in color and overflows with floral aroma. This is a soup made from chrysanthemum and kudzu flowers, which has the effect of relieving hangover.
Pueraria lobata is the flower of Pueraria vine. In summer, the unopened buds are dried in the sun for later use. Pueraria lobata can relieve alcoholism and soothe the spleen. It can also cure alcohol-related fever, polydipsia, lack of appetite, vomiting, vomiting acid, vomiting blood, and intestinal wind. Blood and other symptoms.
Pueraria lobata grows everywhere on their hillsides, grasslands, and fields. Pueraria lobata is considered a treasure all over the body, each with its own use. In the deep mountains, starch-rich pueraria lobata is also the best ration for wild boars.
As for the chrysanthemums, they are picked and dried in the mountains themselves. Chrysanthemums have many effects, but when combined with kudzu flowers, the hangover effect is even better.
Many Mei knew a little about pharmacology and knew that Su Tong would have to drive later, so he cooked two bowls of hangover soup.
This hangover soup tastes pretty good and can be used as tea. Because it was still very hot, the two of them didn't rush to drink. They sat on the chairs and chatted wordlessly.
When the temperature of the hangover soup is right, I pick up the bowl and drink it all in one gulp.
However, Su Tong was not in a hurry to leave. Instead, he proposed to visit Xiaofu Mountain contracted by Gao Mingcheng.
When Gao Hong came last time, he also said he wanted to visit Xiaofu Mountain. Now that Su Tong is here, he still wants to visit Xiaofu Mountain.
It's a pity that Xiaofushan is still bare and does not live up to its name!
Gao Mingcheng told Su Tong his plan for Xiaofu Mountain. Su Tong nodded repeatedly, with a look of yearning in his eyes.
Many people have a pastoral dream, but unfortunately they have to work hard to survive.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Su Tong took the return gift from Gao Mingcheng and sat in the jeep. He opened the window, waved to Gao Mingcheng and said, "Brother Mingcheng, see you next time! If you go to Yangcheng, you can come to me! I will take you to eat Cantonese food!"
"Okay." Gao Mingcheng agreed with a smile. Many of the hangover soups cooked by Meijian were still useful. The drunkenness on Su Tong's face disappeared and he became more sober.
As for him, after his physical fitness improves, his body's metabolism may be faster. No matter how much he drinks, he will not easily die from drunkenness.
After watching Su Tong leave, Gao Mingcheng went back to the house and took some dried lychees and dried longans, which he planned to give to Grandma Gao.
Hearing Su Tong talk about his grandfather before, Gao Mingcheng couldn't help but think of his grandmother. Although the relationship between him and his grandma is not very deep, it is indeed not easy for the old man to work hard for most of his life.
Now that life is better, he is also willing to respect his elders.
When I arrived at the old village, I saw a stranger walking out of my parents' house.
The two parties passed by each other and did not know each other, so they did not say hello. Gao Mingcheng glanced at the group and vaguely guessed something.
When he walked into the yard, his mother Luo Xiaohua was packing away the cups he had drank from.
As for Gao Shufang, she was teasing their eldest nephew, with a normal expression and no shyness or embarrassment. This made Gao Mingcheng wonder if he had guessed wrong.
"Second brother!" Gao Shufang shouted happily when she saw Gao Mingcheng coming.
"Mingcheng is here, what are you holding in your hand?" Luo Xiaohua's eyes were sharp, and she could see at a glance that the thing Gao Mingcheng brought was something she had never seen before.
"It's dried lychees and dried longans. A friend just sent them to me. I thought none of you had eaten them, so I brought some over. This is very nourishing for the body. Let grandma eat more. Where is grandma?" Gao Mingcheng said.
"I'm here, it's hard for you to think about me." Grandma Gao's voice sounded. It wasn't until she finished speaking that she walked out from a corner. It turned out that she had just gone to the toilet for convenience.
Seeing the real owner, Gao Mingcheng handed the things to Grandma Gao, and then let them divide it among themselves.
He took two kilograms of each item, which is not too much. However, when there are more people, it seems that there is less food. You eat a little, I eat a little, and it is gone.
"Who were those people just now? Did they come home to pay New Year greetings?" Gao Mingcheng asked directly.
Before Luo Xiaohua could speak, Gao Shufang had already walked over with her eldest nephew in her arms. She said, "They are from the next village. They said they came to see me. But I told him directly that I was still young and didn't want to get married."
Luo Xiaohua was opening her mouth to speak. After hearing Gao Shufang's words, she couldn't help but glared at her and cursed: "You are a girl and you are not ashamed! Do you need to say such things?"
Gao Shufang curled her lips. If she hadn't seen that her mother was a little moved, would she have said such a thing regardless?
Today, Gao Shufang does not want to get married at all, because she feels that her current life is very good. She is afraid that after getting married, she will have to live the same kind of life again.
You can't see meat for ten days and a half, and you have to do housework all the time. If you get married, you have to get pregnant and have a baby. If you give birth to a daughter, you still have to look at your husband's family.
Gao Shufang panicked when she thought of this.
She still remembered what her second brother once said to her - men will affect the speed at which you make money.
She didn't know why at the time, but now she understands it deeply.
Now she just wants to make money, eat well, and wear beautiful clothes! And all this needs to be maintained as is.
Because Gao Shufang had a firm attitude, Luo Xiaohua had nothing to do with her. He only said: "How can there be a girl who doesn't get married? You will get married sooner or later. It's better to find someone with good conditions to marry earlier."
Gao Shufang made a face at her mother and ran away.
Gao Mingcheng said: "Shufang is still young, so there is no need to rush to get married. Besides, I still need her help in my clothing store."
Doing the math, Gao Shufang will only turn eighteen this fall, which is indeed a bit young.
If nothing else, it's not too late to consider getting married when you're twenty.
Seeing Gao Mingcheng speak, Luo Xiaohua said: "I don't like that person very much, but his conditions are not bad, so I can take another look. That person is the eldest son of the family, and there are four sisters above him. His sisters are very good to him and often give him money and things, so his life is easy and comfortable."
After listening to Luo Xiaohua's words, Gao Mingcheng's head was almost filled with black lines.
Is this a good condition? This is simply hell mode!
In future generations, no sane girl would dare to marry into such a family.
You think you can live an easy life after you get married, but the way someone treats your brother and your sister-in-law is definitely different!
Another thing is that this kind of family absolutely favors sons over daughters. After marriage, children will be born, and then they must have sons.
It's not that Gao Mingcheng looks down on others, but that a boy who grew up in this kind of family rarely takes responsibility. He is used to asking for things, rarely gives, and he doesn't respect women. So, is he marrying in order to endure hardship?
When Gao Mingcheng outputted his ideas, Luo Xiaohua was stunned for a moment.
"How can you say that..." Luo Xiaohua didn't believe it, but it didn't matter whether she believed it or not, as long as she listened.
Gao Mingcheng continued: "Shufang is still young. Don't rush to look at her. Maybe she will have great fortune in the future and can marry into the county. Isn't it better to go to the county and eat the residents' food than to marry into the village?"
As soon as these words came out, Luo Xiaohua's eyes lit up instantly. At this moment, she felt like the situation was opening up.
yes! Her daughter has every chance of marrying into the county!
Gao Guobing was the deputy director, and Gao Mingcheng had such a good relationship with Gao Guobing. He also owned a house in the county and started a business. Wouldn't it be easy to find a brother-in-law for his sister who would have a solid job?
After the layout was opened, Luo Xiaohua immediately said: "Mingcheng, I leave it to you to arrange Shufang's marriage. Find a suitable one for her!"
Gao Mingcheng was stunned, but nodded in agreement.
It's better to let him find someone than to find someone like Luo Xiaohua. This is because the circles are different, the circles are different, the vision is different, and the people he can come into contact with are naturally different.
"Okay, but you can't rush this matter. Take your time and wait until you find a good opportunity." Gao Mingcheng said.
Luo Xiaohua has new hope. Naturally, whatever Gao Mingcheng says will matter.
Since then, Gao Shufang finally got rid of the occasional sightings.
But when she knew that her second brother would introduce the right person to her, she couldn't help but feel a little shy and expectant.
However...the first thing to greet her was a few elementary school textbooks!
"This...isn't this my textbook? Second brother, where did you find it?" Gao Shufang looked confused.
Gao Mingcheng said: "Shufang, do you want to marry a city man with an iron rice bowl?"
Gao Shufang nodded shyly, who doesn't want to marry high?
"Then start studying from now on! From now on, you will have to take time to read and write every day. After that, I will start ordering newspapers. You and Duomei will read newspapers and learn new knowledge every day!"
Gao Mingcheng began to formulate a study plan for Gao Shufang.
Gao Shufang's academic qualifications are better than those of many beauties, who only went to the third grade, but Gao Shufang went to the fifth grade. Unfortunately, she did not have a strong desire to study on her own, and her family did not continue to send her to study.
But now, if you want to marry well, you must make progress in your knowledge. Otherwise, even if you get married, if the couple talks incorrectly, they will not be able to live together.
Many beauties now insist on reading and writing whenever they have free time. Although Gao Shufang also read those colorful magazines, she read more pictures and less words.
She didn't read carefully the words that introduced fabrics and clothing styles. If she were asked, she would say that she didn't understand them and it wasn't interesting.
But ultimately, it was her lack of willingness to learn.
You could let it go before, but now you have to catch it and learn.
So Gao Shufang grimaced and began to read her own elementary school books. After reading the elementary school books, she then read the junior high school books left by her brothers. If she didn't understand something, she could always ask her brothers.
The four brothers all have junior high school education. Even if they have graduated several years ago, they still have no problem teaching the younger sisters a little bit.
But somehow, the news that Gao Shufang wanted to marry a city man spread to everyone in the village.
Some people laughed at Gao Shufang behind her back, while others felt that Gao Shufang did have this qualification. Others saw the change in Gao Shufang - that is, if she wanted to marry a city girl, she had to study well!
This is the theory everyone came up with after seeing Gao Shufang start studying.
As a result, the ambitious girls in the village began to think about studying.
Most of the girls in the village only went to elementary school, some only went to third grade, and some went to fifth grade, but half of the boys went to junior high school, so these girls began to look for them. Let your cousins who have graduated from junior high school teach you more words and knowledge.
For a time, the learning atmosphere in Gaojia Village was extremely high!
This change surprised Gao Mingcheng, but being willing to learn is always a good thing.
Time flies by, and it’s the ninth day of the Lunar New Year in a blink of an eye. At this time, it’s time to visit, and it’s time to drop in. The New Year has passed more than half, and the flavor of the New Year has gradually faded. When the Lantern Festival is over, this New Year It's completely over.
Gao Mingcheng is self-employed and even owns his own shop. He has no capital expenditure, so he can open it sooner or later. However, Gao Mingwan and Gao Mingli returned to the county on the seventh day of the Lunar New Year.
Gao Mingwan drove the transportation company's pickup truck back. During the Chinese New Year, he often drove the pickup truck around the surrounding villages, firstly to show off, and secondly to look at each other.
As a truck driver, Gao Mingwan's market share in the village's blind date market was quite good.
As the saying goes, marry high and marry low. Gao Shufang wanted to marry in the county, while Gao Mingwan planned to find a suitable one in the surrounding countryside.
Of course, Gao Mingwan's requirements are not low at all. He doesn't value knowledge, but he definitely values appearance and character. Of course, now he is qualified to choose.
As for Gao Mingli, who was one and a half years younger than him, he didn't go to see her because he didn't want to. As a member of the Moonlight Clan, apart from his status as a temporary worker in the city, he has nothing else to offer.
Therefore, he wanted to save some more money and wait until next year to meet again.
Gao Mingcheng knew the brothers' plans, but he didn't come up with any ideas. Everyone has the life they want to pursue, and it's best for others not to interfere.
But with his rebirth, the people around him also changed somewhat.
But these changes are always good.
