Everyone sat around the dinner table. Accountant Wang picked up the wine jug and prepared to pour wine. Zhi Lin stood up and reached for his wine jug. "Accountant Wang, you have worked hard today. Come, I will pour the wine, and we will eat together later. This Leave the task of pouring wine to me."
"This won't work. You have to pour the wine later. Today is your first time in the village. You are a guest. I won't let you pour this wine." Accountant Wang put the wine bottle in front of him.
"Zhilin, you ask Accountant Wang to pour the wine. He is right. You are the guest today and he is the host. Let him pour the wine. If you want to pour the wine in the future, I will let you pour the wine." said the village king.
Zhilin stood and said: "Prince of the village, I never drink. I think. I don't drink. I will pour you wine and accompany you."
"I never drink. When I work in the countryside, especially when I work in our village, I don't drink. How will you carry out your work in the future? It's not strange that I have never drank before. It makes sense for a student kid to not drink. Now, you learn to drink." Drink less." The village king said.
"I.I.I won't get drunk." Zhilin looked embarrassed.
"It's okay. Just drink less. You can drink as you like today. We'll let you. You can drink as much as you like. Sit down quickly. Accountant Wang. Pour the wine. Fill it up for Zhilin first. Whether you drink or not will be decided another time. It's something." The village king said with a smile.
Zhilin sat down. Accountant Wang filled the glass with wine and put down the flask.
The village king took the chopsticks and said: "Eat the vegetables first, then drink. Come on, Zhilin, you eat a thigh first. This is called holding an umbrella. You know, when you come to our village for the first time as a guest, you have to hold an umbrella." .It means you won’t get wet when it rains; you won’t be exposed to the sun when it comes out. You officials who eat the national food, this is also called a protective umbrella. With this umbrella, it will be easier for you to get promoted in the future.”
"King of the village, you said that. I would be embarrassed not to eat. King of the village, I came to the village, and you are my protective umbrella." Zhilin smiled and picked up the bowl and took the chicken thighs from the king. .
"King of the village, you can also eat a chicken thigh." Haiyan picked out another chicken thigh and gave it to the king.
"Zhilin, come. I will eat with you. Eat this chicken thigh first, then drink. Come, you can eat whatever you like." The village king said and started eating.
Zhilin also started eating.
Zhilin took a bite and chewed slowly for a while. Then she poured some soup into a bowl with a spoon. She drank some soup and said with a smile: "This chicken is really delicious. It's sweet and fragrant. It tastes good." pure."
"Well, this is a native chicken raised in the stockade. Accountant Wang's cooking skills are good. Of course it is delicious. However, there are more delicious things in the stockade, such as winter grass rats, snake meat, hares, wild cats, white mice, etc. Wait. Time is tight today. There is no time to get game. Don’t worry. You are not here in the village for a day or two. You will have many opportunities to eat these game in the future. It will be more delicious." The village king said happily.
"Oh, you eat snakes. I'm afraid of you even if you talk about them." Zhilin said with a smile.
"What are you afraid of? You won't be afraid after eating it once. I'm thinking about eating it. That snake meat soup is sweeter and more pure than this chicken soup. It makes you more greedy. I was also afraid and didn't eat it. Now. When I heard there was snake meat, I ran away and ran to get the chopsticks." After Shui Hua finished speaking, everyone started laughing.
"I came to the village to have a good meal." Zhilin said with a smile.
"Eat. Don't just talk about it. We have to wait until you finish eating this chicken thigh before you can drink." The village king said with a smile.
Zhilin stopped talking and had no choice but to eat the chicken thighs because the village king had already finished the chicken thighs and was waiting for her.
Zhilin took a few bites of the chicken thighs but was still not finished. She smiled and said, "Prince of the Village, you guys are drinking. You guys are watching me eat alone. I'm even embarrassed."
"Who told you not to finish eating? You eat. We will drink after you finish." The village king looked at her with a smile.
Zhilin had no choice but to eat again. After she finished eating, she picked up her wine glass and said, "You guys are too enthusiastic. Let's do whatever we want from now on. Otherwise, I really can't stand it. Come on, I'll drink with you. I really don't drink. I mean." I mean." As she said that, she stood up, clinked the wine glasses with several people, and then took a sip of wine.
After Zhilin took a sip of wine, she quickly turned her head towards the back for a while, then turned her head and said, "I almost choked. This wine is for you."
Everyone laughed again. The village king said: "Zhilin, you really don't drink. Just drink as much as you want. Don't drink too much in one sip. Drink in small doses. Learn slowly."
"Well, thank you, the village king." Zhilin said, looking at the village king and smiling.
"Accountant Wang, we can't drink too much at noon today. We still have tasks in the afternoon. You and Shuihua are responsible for tidying up the widest room for Zhilin. The bed and desk are all set up. It should look like home anyway. I will take Zhilin to my house first, and then ask Xueer to help Zhilin take the quilt and make her bed. Tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow, you go to the town to buy her a new quilt, and let her use it later. Help her buy cooking utensils and daily necessities. He will have dinner at your house tonight, tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. Of course, if the villagers invite me, I will take her with me. What do you think?" The village king looked at Accountant Wang.
"Okay. It's okay. Zhilin. After dinner, look at what daily necessities you need. Write me a list." Accountant Wang looked at Zhilin.
"Thank you. Thank you. You are so thoughtful." Zhilin said with a smile.
"I told you not to be polite. Why are you still like this? Come and drink. Zhi Lin. You will finish this glass of wine at noon today. I won't serve you any more." The village king said, holding up the glass.
"Okay. I'll drink slowly with you." Zhilin said with a smile.
A few people chatted and drank for about half an hour, and then they all finished eating.
After the meal, several people drank tea and chatted for a while.
The village king looked at the time. He stood up and said, "It's almost two o'clock. Accountant Wang, you and Shui Hua go to clean up Zhilin's house. I'll take her to our house to sit down. At about four o'clock, you two will definitely clean up." Okay. I'll let Xue'er take Zhilin to make the quilt. Then you come back and cook. In the evening, warm up the lunch dishes. Just add a cured fish and a green vegetable."
"Okay. Ask Xue'er to come over to meet Zhilin tonight. There will be no outsiders anyway," Accountant Wang said.
"Okay. After Xue'er and Zhilin have made the bed, let them come together." The village king said and went out.
Zhilin followed the village king to Xueer's house.
"Xue'er has a visitor. Guess what she's here for." The village king entered the room and said with a smile.
"We have a guest. Please come in and sit down." Xueer greeted her with a smile.
"Ah, such a young and beautiful girl. Look at this fashionable dress. I can't guess what she is here for. I think she looks like a college student. She is not here for research." Xueer saw what Zhilin was wearing. sneakers say.
