Long Jiale

The tour guide Jiang Peng counted the number of people, and the bus was ready to leave. Jiang Peng stood in front of the bus with a microphone and explained the precautions for this trip. The bus was noisy, and he sat in the tour guide seat after greetings as usual. rest.

There were a total of 35 registered tourists on the bus, mainly middle-aged women, a few sporadic old men and two young couples with two or three children.

Although there were few uncles, they all had loud voices, and when they talked about where and how they went on a trip last time, everyone in the car could clearly hear him talking alone.

By 10:30, the bus hadn't arrived yet, and the passengers who had been on the bus for two hours began to get impatient, "How long will it take?"

The children in the car were even more tired of sitting, clamoring to get out of the car.

The tour guide had no choice but to ask someone to sing a few songs, which enhanced the atmosphere in the car and eased everyone's tired and impatient emotions. At 45:35, the tour guide Jiang Peng stood up, picked up the microphone and talked to the people in the car I talked about the group meal at noon today, "The group meal paid before does not include the group meal at noon today, so everyone can solve it by themselves at noon. Of course, you can also order their local farm food here. A table for ten people is very rich, and you are guaranteed to eat it Okay... [-] yuan for the meal fee, voluntary registration, not forced, I called the other side to start preparing lunch after the number of applicants was unified here, and it must be too late for us to prepare the dishes..."

Routine, another routine, the old aunts who are used to frequent group tours have already understood the routines of travel agencies.

Whispering started in the car: "35 yuan per person is too expensive for a meal, isn't it?"

"It's five yuan more expensive than the last time we went to Xiaxi Mountain."

"Do you eat?"

"I brought my own bread and won't eat his."

……

"You have to spend some money to travel. I'm going to try their farm food, and I'll pay." The uncles who are afraid of trouble are the most active. For them, they don't have to think about it .

Couples with children also sign up, they can't starve their children.

The tour guide Jiang Peng collected the meal fee. There are twelve people in this car. On Saturday, there are two groups. The two buses are one in front and one behind. The other car has reported eighteen people, exactly thirty people, three tables dishes, he called Qingquan Village, "Help prepare for [-] people..."

The uncle who yelled at the beginning had sharp ears, "Wow, there are [-] people next door, it seems that their car tour guide is more powerful."

At [-]:[-], the three-hour tourist bus finally stopped, and they arrived at Jia'an Valley near Qingquan Village. From the bus, they could see the dense and blooming sea of ​​flowers, where many kinds of flowers competed. The scene in the valley is very beautiful under the sunlight.

The tour guide said that you can play here for 10 minutes, and gather after 10 minutes. People who have been in the car for a long time can finally come down to watch the wind. In twos and threes, holding an umbrella, they take pictures and play among the flowers. Some are dexterous and secretly picked flowers Weave a wreath and wear it on top of your head.

It was almost twelve o'clock, and the sun was getting bigger and bigger. After playing in the sea of ​​small flowers for half a day, everyone was tired and hungry, so they gathered and boarded the car again to have lunch.

"It's a bit of a loss to see such a thing after sitting in the car for two or three hours. What else is there for this afternoon?"

"There is also a lotus in the afternoon."

"It's flowers again? It's boring..."

The place where the team eats is arranged near the old school in Qingquan Village. Several retro small pergolas are set up, and dozens of bamboo stools are placed under the pergola for tourists to rest. An uncle in the group picked up the exquisite workmanship The small bamboo stool couldn't help boasting, "This stool is beautifully made."

This stool was made by Wang Feiyu, that is, a young man who helped Shen Zhoucheng look at the fish pond. I didn't know that he had such a talent for weaving. Ten small bamboo stools.

The tour guide had heard them talk about the bamboo stool a long time ago, "This bamboo stool costs 50 yuan each, and you can buy one and take it home if you like."

When the matter of money was mentioned, the uncle also fell silent.

"Those who have just paid for the meal, come over and are ready to eat..." The two tour guides took the list and read the names of the people who just signed up, and arranged for them to sit down at the long table.

Grandma Shen also came out to help today. She smiled and brought out several bowls of lotus seed soup with Wang Chunyan, and set them up for the guests. Quench your thirst with lotus seed soup."

"Because you are the first batch of guests in our village, this bowl of lotus seed soup was given by my grandson."

"Thank you grandma."

Because they heard that it was a gift, the [-] or so people present didn’t pay much attention to it. When the lotus seed soup was served in front of them, they realized that the bowl of lotus seed soup in front of them was fresh and attractive. The material is extremely thick, the white fungus is soft and sticky, and the fragrant lotus seeds are dotted with bright red dates and peach gum, which is extremely stimulating to people's appetite.

Take a sip with a spoon first, a stream of sweet and thirst-quenching nectar melts between the lips and teeth, the cold juice is sweet but not greasy, it brings people the feeling that it is the first sip of sweet spring drunk by a lost traveler in the desert, which can dissolve the thirst. The exhaustion of the body brings endless hope to people.

Bite open the soft lotus seeds, and the strong lotus fragrance blooms in the mouth, as if you feel a wind with the fragrance of lotus blowing on your face, and taste it carefully, but the fragrance is gone again.

A bowl of lotus seed soup was finished in a few sips, and no one felt satisfied after drinking it. "This lotus seed soup is delicious, do you have any more?"

"It's so sweet, so sweet, so comfortable, grandma, the water in your village is really good."

"Can I have another bowl?"

This time Liu Yifang took her 14-year-old daughter out to play. She has always been frugal. She didn't want to eat the 35 group meal, but she didn't eat the food. She drank this bowl of lotus seed soup first, and she felt that she made a profit , "The value of the meal we paid today."

When she sighed, the others all agreed, "It's worth it, it's worth it."

The scattered tourists resting in the pergola next to them saw their lively eating, and Jiang Wan, who was playing games with his mobile phone, couldn't help muttering in his heart, "Isn't it just giving some ordinary desserts for free? As for the reaction That big."

Jiang Wan often travels in a group, and is very grateful for the group meals in the team. The last time I went to a certain island for a week, I ate the group meal until her face turned green. For this kind of food, she would not eat it if she could not eat it.

She took a bite of the bread in her hand, and continued to play her own fun game.

However, an irresistible aroma of vegetables wafted into her nose continuously. It turned out that the dishes had started to be served there, and the strong aroma of cooking vegetables kept pouring into her nose. The game in hand that has not been successfully passed the level is not attractive to her at all.

Why is this food so delicious?

She couldn't help standing up and looking at the food they were eating on the table, but it was just some ordinary things, such as scrambled eggs with tomato, eggplant, bitter gourd and beans, and steamed fish. That kind of fish must be fishy and unpalatable, and Green pepper lotus root slices, the color is quite nice...

The body is more honest than the heart, she really wants to eat it!

Jiang Wan's stomach growled, and the bread in her hand was as hard to swallow as a cold stone. In the strong aroma of vegetables, the cheap saccharin taste of the bread in her mouth was more prominent, making her lips bitter, not to mention those What people said made it even more difficult for her to swallow.

"It's so delicious. Sure enough, this farm food is delicious. I only picked up this eggplant with my chopsticks, and it's gone. You people are too fast!"

"I'm still thinking that my child just drank a bowl of dessert and couldn't eat anymore. I didn't expect my baby to have such a good appetite. If only he was so obedient when eating at home."

"The water in your village is good, and the soup you make is delicious..."

……

Jiang Wan couldn't bear it anymore. She found that many people like her who didn't order group meals couldn't bear it any longer. Some people had already started looking for tour guides, "Can they cook a table for us again if we pay now?"

Jiang Peng, the tour guide who was eating instant noodles, also felt that leading the group this time was torture both physically and psychologically. It was his first time to come to Qingquan Village. They asked him if he wanted to eat together at noon, but he refused without even thinking about it. , How can instant noodles be delicious for a group meal...

In the end, why is the instant noodles in hand so tasteless?Thanks to you, it’s still old sauerkraut, smelling like plastic.

While eating plastic-flavored instant noodles, Jiang Peng, the tour guide with tears in his heart, said helplessly to those people: "It's too late to burn it now, and we have to go on the schedule in the afternoon."

As a result, there was a lot of discussion in the team, "I won't go for the afternoon schedule, why go if I'm hungry, anyway, I want to eat this farm food."

"That's right, fry a few vegetarian dishes without wasting time, hurry up, there's still time to go now."

Those who were having a meal with a happy face over there had some opinions after hearing what they said, "Why should we delay the afternoon schedule? If you don't go, we still have to go."

"That's right, who told you not to sign up just now."

……

All of a sudden, the people in the two groups quarreled and there was nothing to do, so the two tour guides had to discuss it again, and told the kitchen to hurry up and cook a few more dishes, and the two tables that were eating there said the same thing. To add vegetables.

"Our table has eggplant and tomato scrambled eggs..."

The tour guide was forced to take a pen and a notebook to write down the request. There was no other way. The people in the city formed an independent group. They were all doing business with acquaintances.

Grandma Shen saw that the tour guide was busy dealing with the tourists and forced to eat instant noodles with the drivers, so she asked someone to bring out a few bowls of lotus seed soup for them.

Jiang Wan saw it and couldn't help asking, "Is there any more lotus seed soup?"

"No, just a few bowls at the bottom of the pot."

Seeing these people, Grandma Shen was really uncomfortable waiting for the food. She remembered that she made a big pot of stewed lotus root last night and put it in the basin. She forgot when she got busy in the morning, so she called Shen Zhoucheng to bring it over.

Shen Zhoucheng brought the little fox over. Originally, he was going to take tourists to visit the lotus root field and the bamboo forest in the afternoon. After packing the stewed lotus root, he put a plate on each table. Grandma Shen said: " Cold dishes, eat something to pad your stomach."

A very hungry man smells good in everything.Grandma Shen's skill in marinating lotus root is really good. The lotus root slices are very delicious. The scent penetrates into every inch of the soft and glutinous lotus root slices. It is a different kind of enjoyment to eat. obsessed.

"Eating these lotus root slices will whet your appetite even more."

"It's better than the lotus root slices in the duck neck shop, grandma, can I buy you a few catties?"

"Yes, yes, we also sell vegetables in our village. If you like the farm food at noon, you can bring a few catties of vegetables from our village back at night..."

……

Before Shen Zhoucheng came here, he had already taken the little fox to dinner. As the "village grass" of their village, he was given the task of serving food on the table like a strong man.

==

He brought up the eggplant that was to be added to the table, and people looked at him wonderingly, "Hey, what car are you from? You are so active and even help serve the dishes."

Obviously, he regarded Shen Zhoucheng as a tourist.

"No...he is from our village, the grandson of that grandma." Someone from the village nearby gave him guidance.

"Mom, look, that brother has a fox on his shoulder!"

A five-year-old boy tugged at his mother's hand, pointed to the drowsy towel on Shen Zhoucheng's shoulder, and said to the fox.

The little boy's mother glanced at it, it was a little white ball, and thought how could there be a white fox in this village, so she said without thinking, "Honey, that's a puppy."
