After returning home, Wang Zhong took a shower and changed his clothes, as if he was a different person.
The eldest sister is already cooking in the kitchen.
Entering the kitchen, the eldest sister's originally loose hair had been tied into a ponytail and she was wearing an apron. Liu Lian was sitting next to her, picking peppers.
"Sister, what are you cooking for delicious food?"
"Scallion tofu, you're here just in time, cut the meat!" The eldest sister pointed to a large piece of pork placed on the eucalyptus board.
The pork had been burned, skinned and washed. Wang Zhong washed his hands first, then walked to the table, picked up the kitchen knife and started cutting it quickly.
"Sister, don't leave in a hurry today. I made some horse meat and will stew it in the afternoon. Let's eat it tonight."
"Horse meat?" The eldest sister turned to look at Wang Zhong curiously: "Where did you get the horse meat?"
It’s no wonder that the eldest sister is curious. What Wang Zhong and the others usually eat most is pork, followed by chickens and ducks, and cattle and sheep. Basically, horse meat has never been seen. It’s not that there are no horses. Nowadays, there are people who use horse-drawn goods to work in the countryside. , but Wang Zhong had never eaten horse meat since he could remember, until he entered the dungeon world. When he was in Yuquan Camp, he was curious and tried one.
"I happened to meet him when I came back from the city that day, so I bought it on the way!"
"I have never eaten horse meat! I don't know how to make it!" The eldest sister is a good cook. During the Chinese New Year, she even set up a stall at home to sell rice noodles for a period of time. She is also good at stewing meat and stir-frying.
"I know how!" Wang Zhong said with a smile: "I checked it after I bought it. Horse meat is usually stewed, which is similar to braised pork."
"Okay!" The eldest sister said with a smile: "It's just right for your brother-in-law to have a taste. He hasn't eaten enough horse meat."
"Have you reconciled with your brother-in-law?" Wang Zhong said with a bit of teasing.
The eldest sister glanced sideways at Wang Zhong but said nothing.
In the afternoon, the sun was getting stronger and the temperature was getting higher and higher. My aunt and uncle didn’t dare to go out anymore. Wang Zhong and his eldest sister Liu Lian started running fast. My uncle was drinking tea and watching TV. My aunt and uncle were sitting there. Beside the three people, they were shaking cattail leaf fans and smiling as they watched several people fight against the landlord.
At three o'clock, Wang Zhong got into the kitchen and started to process the horse meat. The eldest sister followed him out of curiosity, and while doing so, he 'stole his master'.
At around four o'clock, the eldest sister's boyfriend Zhang Qi came and drove a Buick sedan with an automatic transmission.
Although horse meat has high nutritional value, it does not taste good. It has a strong fishy smell, and the fiber of the meat is thick. However, after being processed by Wang Zhong's fifth-level cooking skills, it tastes pretty good. , but it’s just good, not particularly amazing.
There is no way, with only level 5 cooking skills, I can't turn decay into magic.
Besides, everyone is just addicted to it. After trying it, their evaluation is not low.
In the evening, brother-in-law Zhang Qi drove his eldest sister and Liu Lian back to the county.
On the way, the eldest sister couldn't help but ask: "Lianlian, how are you? I'm not lying to you. Xiao Chong is really good and has good cooking skills."
Zhang Qi glanced at the rearview mirror and said: "He has a good personality, cheerful and gentle."
But Liu Lian thought of the way he saw Wang Zhongtu flirting with him at the edge of the field today, and said, "Brother Xiao Chong is indeed a very nice person!"
They are both women and have a friendly relationship. They play together all year round. The eldest sister knows Liu Lian well. When she sees her like this, she knows that Wang Zhong is out of luck.
"Xiaozhong is already twenty-six and he is single now. You should also call him brother. You can help keep an eye out for any single colleagues or classmates who are of the right age. Can you introduce him to Xiaozhong?" Follow Liu Lian's wishes.
Liu Lian's mind reappeared that he saw Wang Zhong at the field today. Thinking of his best friends, he promised, "Okay, I'll help keep an eye on him."
The eldest sister's words faltered, but there were some things that were difficult to ask in front of her boyfriend, so she didn't say anything more.
"Xiao Zhong, go back and contact people more often, send WeChat messages, and chat with them. You are a boy, so you have to take the initiative..." Amidst the countless instructions from his uncle and grandma, Wang Zhong Finally escaped back to his home.
As for Liu Lian, that girl's eyes were full of disgust when she saw him in the field today. How could Wang Zhong contact her again.
Wang Zhong's life returned to peace again. He spent another three days helping his uncle and aunt to hoe the two tea fields and spread fertilizer. Wang Zhong began to take care of his own private land again, a three-quarter-sized piece of land. In the vegetable field, there is a big pear tree growing at the west end. It was planted by Wang Zhong's great-grandfather when he was young. It has a history of more than a hundred years. The tree is so huge that even a person can't hold it with open arms.
There are also a few Shatian pomelo trees in the ground, which were planted by Wang Zhong's grandfather when he was a child. The trees are not big, but they produce a lot of pomelo every year, and they taste good.
In addition to this private land, across from his house, where the original cowshed Zhu Peng and the dry toilet were, are now abandoned. If it could be reclaimed, there would be almost a quarter of the land.
Wang Zhong first spent two and a half days plowing out the far away piece of private land. When plowing, it was divided into several ridges and sprinkled with beans, cabbage, leek, and amaranth seeds. Although it was a little late now, Still planted a small ridge of pepper seedlings.
As for the bullpen, Wang Zhong thought about it and decided to do it himself instead of hiring an excavator.
It took Wang Zhong one day to knock down the original old shed, and three days to clean it up. On the fourth night, Wang Zhong used the space to transport a few large rocks and fill the old cesspit of the dry toilet.
After cleaning up, it took Wang Zhong another three days to plow the ground. The main reason was that Wang Zhong was not in a hurry. He worked for a while every morning and for a while in the afternoon, resting for four or five hours in between to avoid the hottest period.
After plowing the land, there happened to be a family in the village who was building a house and excavating homesteads. Although the owner was not from the Wang clan, he had a good relationship with Wang Zhong's family. Wang Zhong forced two packages of Furong Wang on someone, and gave another package to the train driver. The driver dumped a load of dirt into his cowshed.
By the time Wang Zhong had cleared up the land, it was late August.
Before any news came from the system that had been silent for a long time, the aunt in the county called first.
He said that he had introduced another blind date to Wang Zhong, and also sent his WeChat and phone number to Wang Zhong's WeChat.
Wang Zhong added the girl's WeChat account as a routine.
The girl's WeChat account is called Breeze with a few symbols, and her profile picture is half of a girl's face. Her gestures to the camera cover up half of her face, leaving only one eye exposed. The eyelashes are quite long.
I sent a friend request and was added shortly after.
After looking at the girl's circle of friends, there was nothing there for three days. After exchanging names and explaining their origins, Wang Zhong directly invited her to meet. He was really too lazy to waste time on small talk.
The woman Wang Zhong has experienced a lot, and they are all high-quality, good-character, gentle and virtuous women like Zheng Juan, He Xiaoping, Shui Hua, Wen Ju'an, and Ma Suqin.
There are many girls nowadays. It's not that Wang Zhong is prejudiced against them, but that they really can't compare with the women Wang Zhong has experienced.
Let’s not talk about looks and figure. Everyone has their own preferences for these things, but most men’s wives must be gentle, virtuous, and considerate.
Although they are rare, there are not many girls like this, and they are not in the minority. However, whether you can meet them depends on your luck.
Wang Zhong himself doesn't care, but his uncle and aunt are old, in their eighties. Although Wang Zhong is now helping to regulate his body, the physical fitness of people of this age has dropped to a certain level. The level of immunity is much worse than that of ordinary people. A flu, a cold, or an accidental fall may cause various complications.
After Wang Zhong finished practicing the Qi Training Technique for an hour, the girl also responded to the message and agreed to meet in the city on Saturday.
That is two days later.
In the city, on the fourth floor of the shopping mall, there was the Xianhezhuang hotpot restaurant. After Wang Zhong met his blind date and walked around for a while, Wang Zhong offered to treat him to dinner. After many choices, he finally chose this restaurant.
I ordered a Yuanyang pot base, seven or eight plates of meat, and three or four vegetarian dishes.
The girl is not short, about 1.6 meters tall. She is wearing a pair of canvas shoes, denim trousers, short sleeves, and light makeup on her face. She has an average appearance and an average figure. They are talking and chatting. The two of them have something to match. Chatting.
After dinner, Wang Zhong drove the girl back home and did not contact her again.
In the evening, the eldest aunt called. Wang Zhongtui said that she was not suitable. The eldest aunt sighed: "This girl has a good temperament, but she is really ordinary. I will help you find her again."
It's a pity that the eldest sister is seven or eight years older than Wang Zhong, and the second sister is away from home all the time. Both sisters' best friends are much older than Wang Zhong.
A few days later, as school was about to start, the eldest sister suddenly made a satellite phone call and invited Wang Zhong to sing in the city. She said that her brother-in-law and Liu Lian were about to start school, and there would be no chance of getting together after school started. If there are too many, let’s have a late-night snack together, crayfish and skewers.
A message also came from the system.
[Anchored copy world: "Old Farmer"
Countdown to enter the instance: 14 days, 23 hours, 59 minutes and 54 seconds, host please be prepared]
"Old Farmer"?
Wang Zhong was stunned for a moment. He had never seen this show before.
Thinking it was still early, I searched on Baidu first and found a 2014 TV series starring a few veteran actors and a total of sixty-level TV series. It was about the victory of the Anti-Japanese War and the beginning of the War of Liberation. Lu Di Mai Xiang In the Ling area, with Maixiang Village as the center, a half-century-long story was triggered by a land reform.
This story is as down-to-earth as the story of mountains and seas, and the ratings are quite high, and the reviews going forward are also good.
Wang Zhong first read the synopsis of the plot, and then looked for the plot synopses of the episodes. He probably knew a lot about this story. It said it was about farmers and land reform, but it was still inevitably related to love and family ties, the love and hate of three generations. The key to entanglement and a story that spans decades depends on what the main mission is.
When he clicked on the TV series, Wang Zhong did not choose fast and watched it at normal speed.
At five o'clock, Wang Zhong set off on time, driving his diesel-powered pickup truck and parking it in the underground parking lot of the shopping mall. Wang Zhong took a taxi to the duck shop that his elder sister mentioned.
The duck shop is not small. The house is a private house built by the owner. Not far away is Wang Zhong High School. When Wang Zhong walked in, he discovered that in addition to his eldest sister and brother-in-law, Liu Lian, there were two girls sitting in the box. Liu Lian's side.
One of them, Wang Zhong knew, was his best friend who often played with Liu Lian. The other one was his first time meeting him, so he should also be his best friend.
"Sister, it's not easy to find this place! I almost thought I was in the wrong place when I followed the navigation! I found it after asking."
"This is a time-honored restaurant. Haven't you and your classmates eaten here before when you were in school?"
Wang Zhong smiled and said: "Sister, do you have any misunderstandings about high school students? Do you think I was someone who could afford to come to a restaurant like this when I was in high school?"
Even though the price of this small restaurant is affordable, it is compared to people who are working now. For high school students with only a small amount of living expenses per month, the most common thing is to eat fried beef or kidneys in the fly restaurant next to the school. The most expensive fast food box lunch box with fat intestines is only fifteen yuan. If four people eat two meat dishes and one vegetable, ten yuan per person is enough. After all, the most expensive meal at school only costs seven or eight yuan, ten yuan. Money is still the standard for teachers’ cafeterias.
The eldest sister covered her mouth and smiled softly: "That's true, I remember your living expenses at that time seemed to be one hundred or something like that!"
"One hundred and two!" Wang Zhong said: "Including the round-trip fare, you also have to save the Internet fee for going to the Internet cafe to surf the Internet."
"Don't be poor for now. Let me introduce you. This is Lian Lian's best friend, Zhou Pei! We all call her Pei Pei."
"Hello, Brother Xiaozhong!" The makeup on Zhou Pei's face was a bit thick, making it hard to see clearly, but her smile was still bright: "I've heard about you from Lianlian for a long time, but I haven't had the chance to see you, but I finally got to see you this time. .”
Wang Zhong smiled and asked, "Are you and Lianlian classmates?"
"We are all classmates in high school and junior high school!" Zhou Pei said.
Liu Lian added: "Although we are not in the same class, we have a good relationship!"
Wang Dian nodded, did not ask any more questions, and said politely: "When you have time later, let Lianlian take you to our village to play."
"I heard from Lianlian that Brother Xiao Chong is very good at cooking. We are all foodies. Brother Xiao Chong, please don't bother us later."
"That's a good relationship. Let me bother you a little more. Now the village is full of old people and they don't have much energy!"
A few words opened up the conversation, and everyone started chatting. Zhou Pei was quite cheerful and good at chatting.
After dinner, a group of people slowly walked to the reserved KTV and howled until about 11 o'clock in the evening. After coming out of the KTV, they went to have a midnight snack of crayfish, beer and barbecue. They separated after one o'clock and went home.
When it was almost two o'clock, the eldest sister sent a message asking Wang Zhong how Zhou Pei was doing today.
Wang Zhong had already guessed why the elder sister suddenly invited him to sing and have midnight snacks for no reason. Although Wang Zhong and the elder sister had a good relationship, they had never been to a KTV together, let alone had midnight snacks outside. Eating at home is mainly due to the age difference between the two of them, and they usually play in different circles, so they can't get together. During the holidays, they always eat at home.
It felt good to be back home. Wang Zhong arrived home, took a shower and went to bed.
