Chapter 396 The confused and confident leader

Author: Yishan Xiuzhu

The other side.

Yunxi and Xiaoling had already loaded up their things. They followed the navigation and made a mistake. They turned around on the road. The awkward map took the car to a dead end and prompted:

"Cross the potholes, continue forward for 1 kilometer, then turn right and then left."

Looking at the earthen wall in front of him, Yunxi was a little speechless, angry and funny. Although the earthen wall was not high, only half a meter, it was obvious that this was a collapsed adobe house. It was a long distance away. Whoever entered was the one who got it.

Brain cramps and ischemia.

This is a place that even speedsters, not to mention racing drivers, cannot climb over.

Xiaoling was in the passenger seat, watching Yunxi being speechless by the navigation system. She obviously didn't want to talk, but she felt like she wanted to try because she was staring straight ahead.

Xiaoling knew very well that she had gotten lost in a detour, and it was even worse after entering. The house had collapsed, but it was not a road, so she said softly:

"Sister Yunxi, don't be excited or impulsive. It's still early. I'm afraid your car will be ruined if you go in now."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Yun Xi, fearing that she might not be right and rush in.

Yun Xi smiled helplessly and said:

"Don't be afraid, I won't go in, let's exit and take a look."

While reversing the car, I asked Xiaoling:

"Do you know the way? You can show me the way when I go out. The navigation is all about small roads."

The navigation on the phone continues to prompt:

"You have veered off course, please return to the original route."

Yun Xi directly picked up her mobile phone, took pictures of the road conditions, complained about the map, and blindly navigated. She almost entered the black bean field, which means she almost got lost.

After the car backed out, Xiaoling looked confident and took Yunxi on another road.

Under the confident guidance of Xiaoling, a roadie who navigated the black bean field that she had not brought in, she successfully guided the vehicle into the corn field, followed by potato fields, wheat fields, sugar beet fields, fields one after another. Yunxi felt that she was walking in the wrong direction.

But Xiaoling is a local, so you should listen to Xiaoling.

The final destination was a black bean field. It was a black bean field, with a large field of low bean sprouts. In front of it was the covered train track, so we kept moving forward.

Yun Xi looked a little confused at the scene in front of him. What should he do? The real way to get lost is to stay with the locals.

Xiaoling looked at the black bean field and said apologetically:

"Looks like we went to the wrong place. Please call for help."

After finishing speaking, Xiaoling herself smiled sheepishly. After Yunxi looked at her, the two of them looked at the black bean field in front of them in tacit agreement, looking at each other helplessly and laughing. Yunxi couldn't help laughing at Xiaoling's confidence.

And with her superb guiding ability, she really knows how to lead people to the black bean field.

Xiaoling smiled at Yunxi's expression. She wanted to be angry but couldn't. It looked very funny. This kind sister kept frowning but didn't complain about herself. It was distressing and funny at the same time.

After Xiaoling's call for help came through, everyone in the yard couldn't help laughing.

Hou Liang has already picked up his grandma, and his current mission is to find Yunxi. Through the description and analysis, he roughly knows where they are. They are probably going to a place two villages away. The place is called Langjiao. There used to be wolves.

People named the den Wolf Cellar. Now that there are no wolves in that place, people reclaimed it for farming.

People there like to grow black beans because there is a tofu workshop in the village, which is quite large.

The two of them stayed on the road surrounded by black bean fields. They heard people say that this place was called Wolf Cellar, and the surrounding area was filled with dealers. They were afraid that something would escape from the fields, so Yunxi silently locked all the car doors and windows, worried.

Xiaoling opened the window and door.

Close the windows, turn on the air conditioner, and never get out of the car and open the windows until no one comes.

Xiaoling kept saying:

"Sister Yunxi, there can't really be wolves here, right? If there really are wolves, if we encounter a wolf, what do you think we will do with the steamed buns and wine behind us!"

After saying that, I looked at the big bag of steamed buns at the back, as well as three boxes of liquor worth 20,000 yuan, and salt. I couldn't help but worry about what if I encountered a wolf and couldn't send the things back.

Yunxi was a little worried at first. There was no one in this place, not to mention whether there would be wolves. It would also be quite scary if there was a stranger.

If you are lost, don't run around. Stay where you are and wait for Hou Liang to come and pick you up. When Xiaoling next to you said this, Yunxi felt helpless and embarrassed. He is indeed a young man. He is so hot-blooded. He really met a wolf.

I don’t care about my life, but I take care of the liquor and steamed buns first. I’m so generous. Before Yunxi could complain, Xiaoling continued:

"Sister Yunxia, ​​if you encounter a wolf, I will stop you. Go back quickly, otherwise there will be so many people waiting for you to eat at noon. People have said that your cooking is delicious. Aunt Hou said that the dumplings you make are rare.

How many times have I eaten it? Don’t tell me, I really want to eat the dumplings you made!”

Xiaoling fantasized about the deliciousness of dumplings, but Yunxi was speechless and amused.

He quickly said:

"It's okay. Where are the wolves now? This place has been reclaimed. Just wait."

Yunxi was most afraid of hearing Xiaoling say "Sister Yunxi", so she looked behind the car seat and saw a large push of nostalgic snacks she had just bought, took it to the front, handed it to Xiaoling, and said:

"It's still early. You're probably hungry. Eat some snacks first and eat by yourself."

The purpose of handing the snacks to Xiaoling was to say: 'Sister, stop talking, let's wait quietly, it's not good.'

Xiaoling looked at the snacks and said:

"If I don't want to eat, I have to endure it. Yesterday, people said that the cooking of such a good-looking chef must be delicious. Today, my mother deliberately didn't make breakfast. She told me that I had a good lunch for lunch. I want to have an empty stomach.

Have lunch, just in case the wolf comes, I won’t be too late to eat, I’ll be full so I can fight with it.”

It's about holding your head high, relishing it, and betraying her mother in minutes.

Yunxi looked at Xiaoling in front of him and thought to himself:

'Simple little sister, don't be afraid. If there is a wolf, my car will be the first to die. Don't think too much.'

Yunxi took the snacks, handed them to Xiaoling, stuffed them into her hands and said:

"Xiaoling, you'd better eat some snacks."

This child has a magical power. When you are in a bad mood, she can make you feel even more uncomfortable.

Hou Liang and the others came over within half an hour, and then followed them back.

Yun Xi and the aunts were busy cooking. Xiaoling took a big bowl for pounding garlic and a small rolling pin. While pounding garlic, she gave a speech and talked about things on the road, which made the aunts laugh.

When Yunxi and the others went to buy goods, the aunts had already wrapped the dumplings and prepared the stir-fried vegetables, and were waiting for Yunxi to go back to stir-fry.

At the lunch banquet, the dumplings had pork and fennel fillings, as well as beef and carrot fillings. There were two kinds of dumpling fillings. The cold dishes included cold lettuce, fungus, cucumber and shredded tofu skin, and the hot dishes included shredded pork with golden sauce, served with thin-skinned spring pancakes and

Shredded onions and cucumbers, spring cakes rolled with shredded pork in Beijing sauce, sweet noodle sauce of shredded pork served with spring cakes, no need for additional dipping sauce.

There are also steamed sea bass fillets, boiled shrimps, salt and pepper potato slices, and finally red bean dumplings.

The red beans are soaked the day before, and then boiled in a pressure cooker to make sand. Finally, the cooked glutinous rice balls are added, and a spoonful of sweet-scented osmanthus honey is added. The meaning of this dish is that the newlyweds have a prosperous start. The dumplings represent a prosperous couple, and the honey and sweet-scented osmanthus represent days.

Sweet and noble.

Although the banquet was held on the first day, ten tables were prepared in the yard, and all ten tables were already occupied. Obviously, the main banquet on the second day was not enough, and it was necessary to occupy the neighboring yards to set up tables.

Sitting at the front were Hou Liang's family and the only old man in the family, Hou Liang's grandmother.

After the food was served, everyone on the table held chopsticks, and many people picked it up nearby.

When Xiaoling came back from getting lost, she chattered to people about how they got lost. She was already hungry, so she took a chopstick and poked two dumplings. She opened her little mouth as wide as she could, eager to take a bite.

There was nothing to dip into, she just put the dumplings into her mouth. Xiaoling, who was eating the dumplings, closed her eyes and sucked the soup inside while eating. The mother next to her said:

"This child, no matter how big or small, doesn't eat even the uncles and aunts on the table. I see you are anxious."

After finishing speaking, the eldest person at the table said:

"It's okay, we are all our own people. When the child came back, he said that he was probably hungry. Let's try it quickly. The food smells delicious."

Everyone moved the chopsticks in their hands, and they all took the first bite, holding dumplings.

In an instant, Xiaoling was not the only one on the table. Men, women, old and young, and people in the courtyard all said sadly:

"Ah, this meal is so delicious, I have to let my children come back to eat it tomorrow."

"It smells so good. The chef is so slick that this rice can be cooked well."

"This craftsmanship is extraordinary and delicious."

At this time, Grandma Hou Liang, who was sitting at the main table, was eating dumplings, with tears in the corners of her eyes. She was sniffling and crying while eating dumplings.

This bite of dumplings stuffed with beef made the old man miss her mother. The first thing she ate was beef dumplings. The moment she bit into the dumpling wrapper, the fragrant soup inside flowed out, which immediately made her burst into tears.

No one nearby noticed it, everyone was immersed in the deliciousness of the dumplings and other dishes on the table.

The old man was quietly eating dumplings from a bowl with one hand and chopsticks with the other, while wiping his tears with his sleeve.

This scene was noticed by Zhang Xia’s mother.

Mother Zhang looked at the old man and felt very kind in her heart. The old man looks very kind, with neat silver hair behind his ears. He wears a small square white hat made by himself and a green shirt. He is neat and tidy at first glance.

An old lady who loves to be clean.

The old lady's words and deeds are very similar to those of well-educated ladies from rich families in the past. She is something she has in her heart, not just a pretense.
