"Here comes the chicken soup!"
"Bao Guowei, you're welcome. Just treat it like your own home. Come! I'll give you a bowl of chicken soup."
"Thank you, Uncle Hu."
"Hey! Guowei, drink! Why don't you drink?"
The rich meal ends when the chicken soup is served, including chicken, duck, fish, and of course Wu Su's most famous hairy crabs.
Chicken, duck, and fish are nothing in the modern materially rich society, but in this era, Hu Da was able to bring out these dishes to entertain guests, but he spent a lot of money.
After drinking the chicken soup, Bao Guowei couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva as he looked at the golden hairy crabs.
"Guowei, does the chicken soup taste good?"
"Delicious."
Hu Da proudly said.
"This chicken soup is fresh! The chicken is local chicken raised in Wusu. After being slaughtered, it is used directly to make soup. I removed most of the fishy smell of the chicken during the process of washing and blanching, but I retained part of it. , so that people can know that you are eating local chicken!”
"Huh? Keep the local chicken flavor? Did you do it on purpose or accidentally?" Bao Guowei asked.
Hu Da raised his head and said proudly: "It must be intentional! Go to Shuixiang Town and ask, my ancestor has been a cook for many years, and his skills must be good!"
Although there are not so many rules in the countryside, everyone used their chopsticks when they saw the two elders, Lao Bao and Hu Da, picking up the dishes.
"Guowei, don't mind if I didn't cook anything!"
"Where, there are so many dishes, how can you say there is no food?"
"Eat! Guowei, we have lotus leaf chicken, braised fish, salted duck with soy sauce, hairy crabs, whatever you want to eat, we have it!"
Bao Guowei immediately took a hairy crab to eat. This thing was a rare thing in modern times, but now it is not commonly eaten in Wusu City.
"Crabs are cheaper than rice in Tianjin's Jiutiao River."
Now that it's the season, crabs are everywhere and it's hard to catch them. So when Hu Da saw that Bao Guowei only ate crabs, he was still confused. This crab was just for the dish, but he didn't expect it to happen.
"Guowei, you eat chicken drumsticks!" After saying that, Hu Da broke off a drumstick for Bao Guowei.
Hu Da also drank some wine, but Bao Guowei could drink, but drinking gave him a headache. No one else had the idea of drinking, so Hu Da and Lao Bao were left drinking together.
"Guowei! You are so prosperous now, what are your plans in the future?" Hu Da drank so hard that his face turned red, but his eyes were bright, looking at Bao Guowei expectantly.
"I guess I have to go back to school!"
"Hey!" Hu Da slapped his thigh fiercely, "This is a good deal!"
Lao Bao asked: "Hu Da, what do you want to do?"
"Hey! Old Bao, what do you think you said? I want to tell Bao Guowei that my Nanxi is also going to school this year! Guowei, is it Zhicheng Middle School?"
Bao Guowei frowned. He knew that Hu Da was a good person. He invited them to his home today, obviously to reminisce about old times and build relationships, but it didn't seem that simple.
"Sister Nanxi is also going to school? Then I will have a companion in the future!"
Hu Dadai looked at Bao Guowei with a smile and said, "Guowei, what do you think of my Nanxi?"
This sudden question made Bao Guowei a little confused about how to answer, "Sister Nanxi is well-educated and sensible. It must be a good thing to go to school."
Hu Da deliberately came closer and asked: "I'm asking you what you think of my Nanxi? Do you like it?"
Facing the offensive words of his father Hu Da, Hu Nanxi looked a little unhappy and tugged at the corner of Hu Da's clothes with his hand, but he didn't react at all.
Bao Guowei also felt a little embarrassed, and the big chicken drumstick in his hand suddenly lost its aroma.
"I like it, how can I not like it? Nanxi is my sister, and she is so beautiful and decent, how can I not like her?
After hearing this, Hu Da was so happy that he clapped his hands.
"Hey! Lao Bao, you see, Guo Wei said Nanxi is pretty good! Our two families are destined to be together!"
"Oh wow." Lao Bao didn't understand what Hu Da meant. He just stared blankly at Bao Guowei beside him.
Seeing the dull old Bao, Hu Da said, "Old Bao, do you still remember what happened back then? When I invited you to dinner in the afternoon, I thought you knew about it!"
Then, he touched his bulging belly, which looked very funny.
Lao Bao was stunned for two seconds, slapped his head suddenly, and jumped up with a bang.
"Ouch! This is what happened..."
Seeing Lao Bao react like this, not only Bao Guowei and Hu Nanxi were confused, but also bystanders An Shuzhen, Liu Liumei and Hu Zhicai were confused.
"Dad, what's going on?"
Before Lao Bao could speak, Hu Da took over the conversation.
"Guowei, your father, your Uncle Dai, and I were the best brothers and friends back then. At that time, Nanxi's mother was pregnant, and Lao Bao pointed at Nanxi and said, this is the daughter of our Bao family! "
Hu Da stood up as if he was going to announce something important.
"But my family finally had a daughter, so why did she become your Bao family's daughter? So! At that time, Lao Bao told me that I wanted Nanxi to be the Bao family's daughter-in-law!"
"Guowei, you are just babies!"
Bao Guowei was stunned, he came here to have a meal in a daze, and now he has a wife whom he can kiss as a baby?
Lao Bao looked at Bao Guowei, his cloudy eyes rolled, and he glanced at An Shuzhen and Liu Liumei sitting next to him, his old face twisted.
He turned to Hu Da and said: "Hu Da, why are you talking about this now? You should inform me in advance this afternoon!"
Hu Da was anxious, "Old Bao, why did you say this? Why didn't I remind you? I thought you remembered!"
Bao Guowei was anxious. He silently glanced at An Shuzhen, who was sitting next to her. Her expression did not change at all, and her heart seemed to be half cold.
"Where are the babies kissing now? They were still young at that time and didn't know how to count!" When the atmosphere was getting delicate, Liu Liumei said.
Hu Da saw the girl speaking and saw that she was an outsider. He said displeasedly: "Parents order matchmakers. This has been true since ancient times. This is a sure thing!"
"You! You're such a mess! You didn't even ask Brother Guowei, so you made the decision on your own?"
"Why didn't I ask?"
Seeing that Hu Da was about to quarrel with Liu Liumei, Bao Guowei quickly stopped Liu Liumei. After all, Hu Da was the elder.
Just as he was about to speak, Hu Nanxi stood up. She only glanced at Bao Guowei, with a cold expression, and said: "Dad! This matter is ours to decide. I won't marry him! Can a person who has been expelled from the school... What's the point?"
Seeing his daughter's objection, Hu Da said, "What do you know about my daughter's family? Do you know who is behind Guowei's nephew? Tell me and I'll scare you to death!"
Hu Nanxi ignored Hu Da and looked at Bao Guowei: "The person I want to marry must be the best man in the world. I have always disdained people who gain a little bit of power through flattery!"
"Hey! What are you talking about!" Hu Da scolded.
"Dad! You don't know that when he was in school, he blocked his female classmates in the alley and pinched their thighs!"
