Chapter 51 Family Dinner

This black fat man's stomach is as dark as his appearance, and he dared to let his family molested Xuanyuan Yun to test Xuanyuan Yun's bottom line, but he was very respectful to Hua Mu.Xuanyuan Yun saw it in his eyes, and knew in his heart that this person really didn't think highly of him as a prince, and Hua Mu's ability was what he respected.

[Hmph, don't beg me, and don't think about it...] Xuanyuan Yun cursed in his heart.

As honored guests, Xuanyuan Yun and Hua Mu were naturally invited to the main table. Hei Fatty and their patriarch was a kind old man who could speak the common language of Xuanyuan Kingdom.Before the meal was put on the table, Hua Mu chatted with the patriarch and found out that this kind and ordinary old man was unusual, knowledgeable and knowledgeable.It seems that this fat black man probably got all his abilities from this old man.

Although the Hakkas chose to live in a place with rich products, inland rivers flowing through it, and the sea, it is a pity that the land is not good, and some Hakkas live directly on the islands adjacent to the mainland. There is even a lack of land.But in this era, the ability to control nature is still too weak, so facing so many resources, when the year is not good, you will still be hungry.Therefore, when Fatty Hei heard that the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, who has recently become famous in the entire Xuanyuan Kingdom, His Royal Highness Hui Wang is coming to inspect, and he also brought his right-hand assistant, who is also the flower master who invented many magical things. When they came together, they immediately told their patriarch, and only then did today's family banquet take place.

The food of the Hakka people is still a little special. They also use rice noodles, but the price of these refined grains is relatively high. Even the family where the patriarch belongs to, and there is a parent official like a black fat man, it is impossible to maintain every meal.Therefore, these refined grains are mixed with coarse grains such as cornmeal pancakes and sorghum pancakes, as well as steamed sweet potatoes and taro as staple foods.Even if it was the main table, there was no preferential treatment, and all kinds of staple food were served.

When the patriarch announced the opening of the meal, no one was scrambling for the delicious snacks, but they gave in to each other.Refined grains are eaten by children and the elderly, whose digestion is not very good. Eating too much coarse grains is not easy to digest, and it is not easy to chew.At the main table, the fat black man also ate coarse grains and left the fine grains for others.Hua Mu also took a cornmeal pancake. Xuanyuan Yun wanted to stop it. He knew that Hua Mu didn't like to eat coarse grains, but he couldn't open his mouth. Seeing that the table was full of wrinkled old people, He also reached out for a sorghum pancake.For Hua Mu and Xuanyuan Yun's actions, those who are sitting here can see it, with smiles in their eyes, these two are not bad!

Of course, at the Hakka dinner table, there is no saying that you can’t eat without talking. Women can also serve at the table. Even when they are in high spirits, they will stand up and sing a story about the Hakka migration. Trivia of life by the sea.Their songs are their most authentic historical records.

The food is not refined, but the Hakka people's best dishes are still presented, especially the salt-baked chicken. Huamu has been famous for a long time, and today I have tasted the most primitive and authentic method.The tender chicken is steamed surrounded by coarse salt, and the moisture in the meat is absorbed by the coarse salt, which makes the chicken firm and does not become sticky, and the special aroma of sea salt is integrated into the chicken, how delicious it is !

"Mr. Hua, would you like to go to the beach after dinner?" Hei Fatty invited, because he said that he did not introduce Hua Mu and his identities to his family, so it is not easy to call for official positions at this time, and Hei Fatty is also happy to call Hua Mu. Mr. Mu Wei, this seems close and respectful.

"Lord Lei, Mr. Hua is here for business, I'm afraid he doesn't have time." Xuanyuan Yun interrupted, hehe, this fat black man, he must be on their feet.

"..." What a stingy prince, he still holds a grudge!She slandered silently in her heart, but said with a smile on her face: "I delayed the trip of the two of you, but I thought that Mr. Hua and Master Qi (Xuanyuan Yun ranked seventh) lived in Beijing for a long time and rarely went to the beach. The magnificence of the sea and Qi Ye's aura complement each other, it would be a pity if you don't go and see it!"

"Master Lei has underestimated Mr. Hua when he said that. Let alone seeing the sea, Mr. Hua has sailed in this sea by boat not once or twice! There is also the vast desert and the green grassland that stretches day after day. Mr. Hua has traveled around, is there anything he hasn’t seen before?” Xuanyuan Yun said proudly, all this he learned from Hua Mu chatting with him, he envied Hua Mu very much, but now talking about the places Hua Mu has been to places, as if they had once been conquered by his feet.

"Ahem, Mr. Hua, would you like to go to the seaside to have a look? The Hakka people here live by the sea, and there are some interesting things." Hei Fatty said, but he looked at Hua Mu even more eagerly. This Mr. Hua is really Knowledgeable as in the legend.

"I think the formula should be the most important thing. What do you think, Mr. Lei?" Xuanyuan Yun said unhurriedly.

In this way, you retreated one sentence at a time, and finally the black fat man couldn't bear it anymore, and in the various self-punishment, he had to drink a few large bowls of wine to forget the matter.Fortunately, their wine was home-brewed, with low alcohol content, otherwise the fat black man would have huddled under the table to accompany Ah Huang.In fact, Xuanyuan Yun really wanted to visit the seaside, which Hua Mu said was as vast as the sky, and even more difficult to control than the sky!

Before seeing the blue sea, it was like thunder in the distance [The loud noise of the donkey has already hit everyone's heart.It was the first time Xuanyuan Yun felt such a shock, and he looked forward to that vast world even more.Blue and white, with no wind and three feet of waves, the raging waves hit the reefs on the shore, and the splashes of water splashed everywhere.Xuanyuan Yun even felt that his feet were shaking, this was the first time he felt such a shock.As if I am nothing, and nothing in the world is important anymore, what a small existence human beings are!

"Mr. Hua, is this the sea?" Xuanyuan Yun asked, the salty sea breeze did not make Xuanyuan Yun feel uncomfortable, but aroused the aggressive factor in his blood.

"It's vast and powerful." Hua Mu replied.

Fatty Hei accompanied him, and he didn't disturb the two people's appreciation of the sea, and he was even more happy to see their liking for the sea.Only if you like this place, you hope it will become better. He wants these two people to bring changes here!

Without words, just standing silently on the reef, staring at the sea is like reading an interesting chapter; or walking silently on the beach, stepping on the tight sand, like feeling the essence of life.Until midnight, the tide ebbed and flowed, and the sea delivered delicacies and food to the beach.And the Hakka people have already started to harvest the gifts of the sea from other Xuanyuan people around them.Even the little ones come to help, and you can't miss this short delivery time.

Crabs are crossing crabs on the beach, leaving a few sand marks; there are also small fish that have not had time to recede with the sea, struggling and jumping, hoping to return to the sea; scallops are hiding in their shells, like this will not Just like being discovered.It was the first time for Xuanyuan Yun to see such a scene, and he felt that these harvests were too simple, and the gifts from the sea were too much, and the harvests of the people here seemed a bit like getting something for nothing.

Fatty Hei also discovered Xuanyuan Yun's thoughts from Xuanyuan Yun's exclamations, and he didn't explain, Hua Mu watched silently from the side, he knew more than Xuanyuan Yun.Seeing that it was almost time, Fatty Hei took the two of them back to the tulou for dinner. Under the warm invitation of the patriarch, Hua Mu and Xuanyuan Yun have been living in the tulou for the past few days.

But the black fat man's stomach is black after all, Xuanyuan Yun was woken up from the bed in the middle of the night, although it can't be said that he was furious, but his complexion was very bad.Xuanyuan Yun who was invited to the living room saw that Hua Mu was already there, and asked the fat man in a bad tone: "Lord Lei, you better have something very important!" Hua Mu didn't have a good rest these days, It's rare to have a good night's sleep, and was woken up in the middle of the night!

"It's just that Qiye is very happy to see the harvest scene in the evening, so I dared to let Qiye go to see the biggest harvest scene here in the middle of the night." The black fat man said.

"At this time, a good harvest?" Xuanyuan Yun wondered, what kind of medicine did this fat black man sell?

"Yes, Seventh Master, the biggest harvest scene." Fatty Hei said.

Hua Mu and Xuanyuan Yun followed Fatty Hei, and Fatty Hei's family members, men, women, young and old, all mobilized, with torches in hand, and hurried towards the beach.It wasn't just Fatty Hei and his big family, but also people from other families. The whole family mobilized together and headed for the sea.When meeting acquaintances, everyone chatted a few words with each other, talking about whether there would be a good harvest tonight, and it seemed that going out in the middle of the night had become a habit.

This made Xuanyuan Yun even more curious, what is the harvest?For the sake of face, Xuanyuan Yun didn't want to ask Fatty Hei, but quietly asked Hua Mu: "Does Mr. Hua know what they are going to do?"

"Qi Ye will naturally know when he arrives." Hua Mu didn't tell him, but at this time, Hua Mu had confidence in his heart, and looked at Fatty Hei with admiration.No matter how much it is said, it is useless. Only by experiencing these things in person can we more clearly feel the difficulty of life of these people by the sea.
