Chapter 423: The village hasn’t been this lively in a long time(1/2)
The guests set off.
I carried a dozen buckets of various sizes, which were enough to hold them.
Some elderly people don't know how to go to the fields to catch crayfish, but they all come along to watch the fun.
Elderly people like to be lively, so you won’t miss such a lively event.
More than half of the guests went with them.
Therefore, the team was huge, with more than a hundred people.
Li You, Ye Shengge, Xie Wanxiang, Xie Yuanhui, Luo Yunlin and others saw this and followed them.
When the guests saw Li You and Ye Shengge following them, they were very happy and greeted them one after another.
Li You and Ye Shengge responded with smiles.
A team of more than a hundred people walked in the village, which was quite eye-catching. Every villager who saw it was wondering, where did so many people come from?
Taking a closer look, some of them turned out to be from this village. Didn’t they go to Xie Wanxiang’s house for a drink today?
In this case, these people should all be guests of Xie Wanxiang's family.
What are they doing? Taking a group walk? It doesn't look like it. Some people are still carrying buckets.
"Wendong, what are you doing?" A villager asked a man named Chen Wendong in the team.
Chen Wendong is a young man in this village, in his 30s. He contracted a large pond to raise fish in the village, and his annual income is pretty good.
Hearing this, he smiled and said: "Go catch crayfish. Master Li You will cook crayfish for us tonight."
The villagers were stunned after hearing this.
Is there anyone who eats crayfish at a banquet? I’ve never heard of it. Xie Wanxiang’s family wants to make their family’s banquet different today.
But what’s the point of crayfish?
Villagers also know that eating crayfish is very popular now and many people like to eat it, especially young people.
But he really doesn’t think there is anything to eat from the crayfish. It’s all shell, not much meat. The parts that are lost are far more than what is eaten.
There are so many crayfish in the village fields, but not many people catch them to eat.
The Master Li You he mentioned should be the chef at Xie Wanxiang’s banquet today, right?
At first, someone said that he was a very young man. Then someone else said that when he passed by Xie Wanxiang's house at noon today, he smelled the aroma of the food. The chef must be a senior chef, not a young man.
I don’t know which statement is true?
However, the second statement should be true.
First of all, Xie Wanxiang's family shouldn't hire a young man with no experience. Secondly, those who said that the food smelled very fragrant were saying that they wanted to find out which chef Xie Wanxiang hired? He would host banquets in the future.
When the time comes, ask that master too.
This statement is certainly not false.
But, is the food cooked by Master Li You really that delicious?
The villagers wanted to ask Chen Wendong again if the lunch dish was delicious?
But he soon saw Xie Wanxiang and Xie Yuanhui and his son were also in the team, so he didn't ask.
It is definitely not good to ask this in front of the host.
However, although I don’t know if the food is really delicious? But I know that the chef’s name is Li You.
Don't those people want to ask who the chef is? Now you can ask yourself.
The villagers felt inexplicably proud.
As he became proud, the news that Xie Wan's guests collectively caught crayfish in the village and ate them for dinner soon spread in the village.
Everyone who heard the news was stunned for a while, which is really a strange thing.
It's unusual enough to eat crayfish at the Ba Ba Banquet, but it's even more unusual for the guests to go to the fields to catch crayfish themselves.
However, it is quite interesting to have so many people catching crayfish together.
The scene must be very lively.
Many people who like to join in the fun have asked where those people catch crayfish?
They want to see the scene.
……
The crayfish catching team didn’t know that many villagers were rushing towards them.
They have now arrived at a place where farmland is relatively concentrated.
All the fields are planted with rice.
At first glance, you can see a lush green area. Then a gust of wind blows, setting off layers of rice waves. It is very beautiful and full of vitality, giving people the joy of an upcoming harvest.
The rice has already emerged from the ears, and it will be ready for threshing in less than two months.
There will be busy scenes everywhere.
It’s tiring, but it’s also rewarding.
Ye Shengge looked at the rice fields in front of him and said, "It's so beautiful. Boss, do you grow rice at home?"
Li You nodded, "I have planted it. However, I plan not to let my parents plant it next year. The main reason is that harvesting rice is very tiring and hard."
Ye Shengge nodded, "Indeed."
Although she has never harvested rice, she still knows how to harvest rice.
Chen Wendong said at this time: "There are a lot of crayfish in the rice fields here, including in the ditch next to it. We caught them here."
"Okay. I have a field right here, and there are indeed a lot of crayfish in it." A villager said.
In that case, here it is.
Many people took off their shoes and socks and prepared to go to the fields.
Everyone knows how to catch crayfish.
Including those who are not from the village, Xie Wanxiang's relatives are basically from rural areas, and they are no strangers to catching crayfish in the fields.
At this time, everyone was in high spirits. They shouted to each other and went down to the fields together.
Soon at least forty or fifty people went down to the fields.
The scene is very spectacular.
After going down to the fields, they began to look for crayfish caves on the field ridges. Some people also went to the ditch next to the field and fished for shrimps in the muddy water in the ditch.
There are ditches for passing water next to some fields. As long as there is water in the ditch, there will be crayfish.
There is water in the ditch now, and the water depth is about 30 centimeters. There are many crayfish in it, and you can touch them with your hands.
Sure enough, a young man just went down into a ditch and within a minute he caught a crayfish from the water.
It’s quite big.
"Hahaha! Incoming goods!" The young man who touched the crayfish was very happy.
Of course, the people watching on the field were also very happy. Someone quickly handed over a bucket next to him and said, "Come on, come on, put it in."
"Okay."
After putting the crayfish into the bucket, the young man put his hands into the water and continued to touch.
People who catch crayfish in the fields also have harvests one after another.
After Luo Yunlin and Xie Yuanhui watched for a while, they both took off their shoes and socks and went into the fields.
Their hands were itchy after seeing them, and they wanted to catch a few to satisfy their cravings.
Even Li You was thinking about going down. However, in the end, he didn't go down. It was also interesting to stand on the field and watch everyone catch it and see where the goods were shipped again.
At this time, villagers from Shanghe Village came here one after another.
"Sure enough, there are many people catching crayfish here. The scene is very spectacular."
"It's so lively. Our village hasn't been this lively for a long time."
"..."
"Wendong, do you really eat crayfish at night?" Someone said to Chen Wendong who was in the field.
Chen Wendong said: "It must be really delicious. Otherwise, what do you think we are doing to catch crayfish now?"
After finishing speaking, Chen Wendong looked around and found that many people from the village had come, and said, "Why are there so many people here?"
The visitor said: "The news about you going out to catch crayfish together spread in the village, so everyone came over to have a look. After all, the village has not been so lively for a long time."
Chen Wendong smiled and said: "That's right. The village has indeed not been lively for a long time."
The visitor asked again: "I heard that your lunch dishes are very delicious. Is it true?"
Chen Wendong nodded, "It must be true. We have never eaten such delicious food. The taste is all extremely delicious. If you haven't eaten it, even if I tell you, you don't know how good it is.
