The casual life of the flat space

"Grandpa Wang, he is Song Lingdang!" a quick-talking child shouted nearby.

But Village Chief Wang acted as if he didn't hear what was said. He raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet and he wanted to "say a few words."

"The sound of woodcutters clinking and birds chirping. They come from the deep valleys and migrate to the tall trees..."

Village chief Wang read a long congratulatory poem, recalled the past of Xianhe Village, and finally gave a little praise to Bai Tieying and her brother.

Bai Tieying was almost unable to hold her laughter, and when Village Chief Wang asked her to say a few words, the first thing she said was "The villagers are all eating and drinking well," and then she went to Aunt Wu's table to eat.

When Village Chief Wang saw her like this, he shook his head and smiled, then went back to the restaurant accompanied by his uncle.

As a result, when he arrived at the restaurant, he was told by the old man of the Wu family, who was two generations older than him, that he was out of his mind. He kept complaining about such delicious food outside. If it weren't for the face of the old Bai family, they would have started eating long ago.

The original invitation was for lunch, and the villagers outside had eaten and left after lunch. However, the old darlings in the restaurant slept when drunk and ate when awake, and they did not stop until the second watch, when they were picked up by the younger generations who had been sent by their families to visit them three or five times.

If you ask them tomorrow when they are sober, they will all say: They don’t want to do it either, but there is nothing they can do, the wine is too good, the food is too delicious, and the kang is too comfortable to sleep on!

After the two cooks of Bafangke finished cooking the four stews outside, they cooked another twenty side dishes for the old men in the restaurant. Each dish was made with meat and was fresh and fragrant. As long as the host is willing to spend money on oil and salt, how can the dishes not be delicious?

Uncle took out the medicinal wine he had brewed, and even though he had diluted it with water, it soon made all the old men on the kang drunk. So the "real ancestors" of each family "lived in drunkenness and dreamed of death" on the hot kang of Lao Bai's house for a whole day, and the next day they all asked their children to arrange a hot kang for their room, and it had to be the same as Lao Bai's!

There should be a sense of ceremony, but Bai Tieying really doesn't want to have a sense of ceremony that is laborious. Although she didn't actually have to do any work, it was basically Aunt Wu, Aunt Li and Aunt Chen who helped to take care of things outside, and Uncle and Mu Qingqiu helped to entertain inside, but she still felt her head buzzing.

Naturally, Mu Qingqiu was questioned about his origins, and he was asked again and again by a group of elders who were not sure whether they were really drunk or pretending to be crazy, so he answered some of the questions more or less.

At first, Village Chief Wang winked at others, trying to stop them from asking too many questions. But later, he got drunk, and he and Grandpa Wu were the only ones in the room who asked tricky and difficult questions.

Although Mu Qingqiu couldn't drink much, he had a mysterious identity so no one forced him to drink. He also got drunk and no one believed him even if he said he wasn't drunk. When the old darlings were drunk, no one cared about him.

At first, he had no idea how to answer the questions from his elders, until Bai Tieying came over and secretly replaced his wine with well water and gave him a tip - when you are away from home, your identity is given by yourself - which made him realize it.

So for a long time afterwards, apart from the four hard dishes served at the Bai family's housewarming celebration, the most talked-about topic among the villagers was Mu Qingqiu's true identity. There was no other way. The elders who drank with him had different opinions, so how could they, who had no say, guess?

……

After moving, Bai Tieying went to Bafangke as promised to help Zhou Shuqin train the waiters. In fact, there was not much achievement, just mainly introducing some original service concepts. But this also made Zhou Shuqin feel refreshed and full of confidence in the reopening of Bafangke.

Manager Zhang asked someone to look at the date and said that August 24th would be a good date for the opening, so Bai Tieying began to work non-stop to prepare for the opening of Chunweizhai.

Because running back and forth was unbearable, Bai Tieying finally made up her mind to buy another horse. With the experience of the last time, she went to find Xing Lao Da as soon as she entered the cattle and horse market.

"Hey, isn't this Miss Bai?" Boss Xing also remembered her, so he recognized her as soon as they met.

"How are you, Uncle Xing? You can just call me Tieying. I haven't seen you for such a long time, but you still remember me?"

"Haha, how can we not be anxious? Not to mention that your heroic act that day has spread all over here, but we can't forget that you are Doctor Bai's granddaughter!"

"Haha, I'm just taking advantage of my uncle! Oh, by the way, I haven't told you the good news yet. You Qi is not dead. He gave birth to a foal on the 15th. The little guy is so smart and lovable."

"Who, what?" Boss Xing was confused at first, and when he realized what was happening, he opened his mouth wide, "How is it possible?"

"Really? Uncle Xing, I'll bring You Qi here to thank you for saving my life!"

"Oh, are you really okay when you say that?" When Boss Xing heard her affirmative tone, he knew that the mare was indeed alive. He was happy but also shocked. What was going on?

"Of course, my uncle helped me! Uncle Xing, I came here today to ask you to help me choose a horse, preferably one with experience in pulling a cart."

"What? Hahaha!" Uncle Xing couldn't help laughing when he heard her talk about her "cart pulling experience". "You are such a funny kid. Okay, Uncle Xing will help you! Let me tell you, after you saved that mare that day, I promised myself that I would save a few good horses for you to come back this year..."

"Uncle Xing, her name is You Qi."

"Oh, okay, You Qi, You Qi!" Boss Xing was even happier to see that she had given the horse a name, so he took her to visit the cattle and horse market.

When everyone saw that Boss Xing was actually leading a little girl, someone asked who this was? When Boss Xing said that this was the young lady who saved Gou Saner's pregnant mare, all the men in Niuma City immediately changed their previous laughing attitude and became enthusiastic towards Bai Tieying.

Bai Tieying was surrounded by several enthusiastic uncles and aunts, and visited each store. At each store, without her asking, these uncles and aunts would pick out the best horse for her to choose.

The result is that Bai Tieying, who originally just wanted to buy an obedient horse that could pull a cart, now doesn't know where to start or who to persuade the uncles and aunts who are rolling up their sleeves to argue about which horse is better.

"Okay, stop arguing. It's been so lively here, we may as well ask Tieying which one he likes. Don't you think so, Tieying?" a man whom Bai Tieying called Uncle Yu shouted, but there was nothing he could do because his voice was too soft for anyone to hear.

"Thank you all uncles for your love. Tieying thinks what you said makes sense! Otherwise, I'll take them all!" Bai Tieying replied after thinking for a while.

"What? You want all of them? Tieying, do you know how much fodder and silver it costs to raise a horse in a year? If you say you need it urgently and want to buy another one, your uncle won't say anything. But this is nearly thirty horses, are you kidding?" Boss Xing advised anxiously, and the people around him also followed suit.
