Chapter 194: Someone brought a big bag, look at what good stuff it is!
"Over here! Over here!"
Chen Hui went out to meet them and saw Xiao Si leading the way, with a group of people walking behind, each holding a big bag in their hands.
What are there so many of?
Chen Hui was stunned.
Although I need many types of seasonings, the total amount is not large and can be put in one bag.
"Hey! Chen Hui! Look what I brought you!"
Huang Wenqian changed into light and comfortable trousers and jumped in front of Chen Hui.
I opened the bag in my hand and found it was full of green apples.
"so much?"
"Yes! This is my favorite food, I brought it all to you!"
Huang Wenqian smiled sweetly, stretched her neck to observe the house behind Chen Hui, and said in surprise: "This is your home?!"
"Yes, this is my home!"
"I'm just a poor country boy! I could even fall into a toilet." Chen Hui said seriously.
"How pitiful! I should have brought you a few more apples."
"."
Chen Hui didn't quite understand Huang Wenqian's train of thought.
"Hey, this is the seasoning you asked for. Ouch, I'm so tired."
Huang Xiu Lian also came over, put down the bag in her hand, and shook her arms tiredly.
Afterwards, the things that He Juanjuan and Wang Guixiang brought were also placed in front of Chen Hui.
Chen Hui opened all the bags out of curiosity.
Huang Xiulian was carrying a large bag of rice.
Wang Guixiang’s was a large enamel jar of lard.
He Juanjuan's bag was a big one, full of seasonings. There were four or five cans of chopped peppers and half a bag of tender tofu at the bottom.
"Didn't you say you don't need to bring rice and lard? I've already steamed the rice."
"You brought too many seasonings. Two cans of chopped peppers are enough, and less than half of the others will be enough." Chen Hui said.
"Lard and rice are so expensive, how can I eat yours?"
"Anything else, you said it should be a little more than usual, I was thinking about so many people!"
"Anyway, don't ask me to take it back. My hands are almost broken after taking it here. I'm not going to take it back." Huang Xiu Lian said, shaking her arms.
He Juanjuan and Wang Guixiang also shook their heads.
They all agreed that the bag was too small to carry even a bit, and they would not take any leftovers back.
"Don't worry! We can save the leftovers for another meal next time!" Xiao Si said with a smile.
This statement aroused unanimous agreement among everyone.
"If you want to have another meal, you still have to bring the gifts into the house!"
Huang Xiu Lian and a few others picked up the bags again, and walked in talking and laughing.
Chen Xiaoming ran past Chen Hui's house and looked back curiously.
Wang Hongmei picked a small basket of chicken mushrooms and followed him, shouting at him to slow down.
Seeing that there were many people at the door of Chen Hui's house just now, and all of them were dressed in fancy clothes, he asked with a smile: "Chen Hui, we have guests at home today!"
"Yes, Aunt Hongmei, please don't leave!"
"Where did you pick this chicken mushroom?"
Chen Hui signaled a few people to go in first, then turned back to stop Wang Hongmei.
"It's on the hill behind the back gate, where Chen Guogang grows vegetables. Go straight in along the area where the Chinese cabbage is grown."
"There are a lot of them growing these days, so hurry up and pick them, otherwise they will be picked by others." Wang Hongmei said enthusiastically.
"Okay, got it!"
"Can you sell me this basket? I'll need it to cook fish later, but it's too late to go up the mountain now."
"???"
Wang Hongmei looked at Chen Hui in confusion. After she realized what was going on, she sighed helplessly, handed the basket to Chen Hui, took a few mushrooms from it and left.
"Hey, Aunt Hongmei, how much is it?" Chen Hui asked.
"You don't work on the land or in the sea, do you have money?"
"Forget it, forget it, since you don't have to come here for a free meal now." Wang Hongmei said, waved her hand and left.
Well.
Wow, Wang Hongmei thought she was getting something for free, and was very considerate enough not to say it out loud.
Why am I still a little touched?
"Thank you, auntie! I'll bring you something delicious later!" Chen Hui shouted with a smile.
Wang Hongmei responded casually, walked to the front and turned back to go into her home.
Chen Hui took the small basket and went in. An Wenjing was inviting a few people to have tea.
Seeing the chicken mushroom in Chen Hui's hand, everyone gathered around with interest.
Seeing that the mushrooms picked by the villagers were so good, they no longer had time to drink tea and went up the mountain to pick chicken mushrooms.
"Let my wife take you there. You are not familiar with the roads in the mountains." Chen Hui said.
"Let's go as a group of women. There won't be any wild animals on this mountain, right?" Huang Wen Qian said, unconsciously moving closer to Chen Hui.
"Silly boy, what is that beast? It's all meat!"
"There won't be any wild animals in the mountains close to the village. At most there will be squirrels, mice or something like that," Huang Xiu Lian said with a smile.
Chen Hui and An Wenjing smiled at each other.
"Take them to where Uncle Guogang grows vegetables."
"I just asked Aunt Hongmei, she said there are a lot of them over there, just walk along the pakchoy trees."
After Chen Hui finished talking to An Wenjing, he said to a few people:
"There are very few wild animals near the village. Even if there are, they won't go to crowded places. You and my wife should go to the mountain where the villagers work."
"Even if you really can't defeat a squirrel or mouse, just shout and the villagers will come to rescue you."
"Who can't beat a squirrel mouse? Seriously!"
"Do you have a basket at home? Take one for each of you!" Huang Xiu Lian scolded with a smile, and walked to the door as if she was familiar with the place and started looking for it.
Chen Hui doesn't have that many baskets and frames at home.
I dug out a few backpacks, which were tattered because no one had used them for many years.
It doesn't look like I would want to carry it on my back at all.
Finally, An Wenjing carried a backpack and took a sickle, thinking that she could collect some hay and firewood for making a fire on the way.
Huang Xiu Lian and her group took two buckets that Chen Hui had just bought for catching seafood.
A group of people went out in a lively manner.
Walk up the mountain along the mountain road next to Chen Hui’s house.
"We have quite a long way to go."
"If you walk forward, you will first pass an area where villagers have paddy fields, and then you have to walk forward for about half an hour before you reach the area where vegetables are grown."
"The vegetable garden of the uncle from the same village is very close to the barren mountain."
An Wenjing started introducing things as she walked, giving everyone some psychological preparation.
"No problem, we grew up running in the mountains when we were young!"
Huang Xiu Lian waved her hands and didn't take it seriously at all.
"That's right, how can I not be better than you little girls?" Wang Guixiang also agreed with a smile.
Huang Wenqian and Xiao Si were chattering all the way and had already run to the front through the crowd.
After a long uphill climb, I was so tired that I couldn't walk anymore, holding onto a big tree.
"No, no, I can't walk anymore, I'm so tired!"
"You guys go, I have to go back first." Huang Wenqian waved her hand weakly and said.
"Hold on a little longer, there will be a flat road ahead."
"Look ahead and you'll see fields of rice. Maybe you can catch some loaches and crabs."
An Wenjing summoned the patience she usually used to coax An Wenyi and said with a smile.
