Chapter 377 Chili Feast
"Hahaha, just kidding.
Here, this is your gift bag, Old Man Pan. Take it back! It’s a huge one!
Thank you for your concern for the people and your hard work.
Xiangxiang wishes you a happy life, success in everything, and another hundred years of life! "
"Humph, I slapped you over a hundred times before you gave me one sweet date!
I'll reluctantly forgive you! I'll take the gift package and open it when I get home!
Let’s go, let’s go…”
In just half an hour, Old Man Pan experienced disappointment, breakdown, embarrassment, guilt, sadness, and finally surprise.
The continuous change of emotions made him not know what to say. Remembering what he said at the beginning, that his heart was as calm as water, his face turned red. He took the gift package and ran away decisively.
While running he said:
“He who keeps company with vermilion becomes red, and he who keeps company with ink becomes black!
Xiangxiang, this naughty girl, has the same temper as Aning.
You have such a vicious mouth! I won't play with you guys anymore!"
Song Anning stood there, smiling and waving goodbye to him. In fact, she also discovered that Xiangxiang had been with her all day, and her mind was much more flexible than before, and the way she spoke and did things was becoming more and more similar to hers.
“Xiangxiang, Old Man Pan is old.
Don't joke with him like this in the future, don't get excited and cause trouble."
Song Anning packed the things in his backpack and walked along the mountain road towards Banyue Village, chatting with Xiangxiang as he walked.
“No, this is a system rule.
Xiangxiang just did as she was told, but I learned the way of speaking from my master, hehe..."
"Okay, then next time this happens, don't be so harsh. Even if it's a joke, it will hurt people."
"Xiangxiang, please take note of this and be more tactful next time."
"Yeah, good girl."
On the way back, Song Anning and Xiangxiang were not idle either. They checked all the villages along the way.
Because of the flood, the bridge was washed away. The villagers of these villages have not gone to the town and people from outside cannot come in, so there is no problem for the time being.
She knew that the virus would spread sooner or later and everyone would be infected, but she just hoped that day would come later and later.
When a plague breaks out, the virus is the strongest at the beginning. As time goes by, more and more people are infected and the virus will gradually weaken.
As for to what extent it would be weakened and how long it would take, she didn't know yet.
She stood halfway up the mountain, looking at the village not far away with a worried look on her face.
Xiangxiang saw all this and was worried about her master.
"Xiangxiang is working very hard on the vaccine and will definitely have it ready as soon as possible!"
"Come on, Xiangxiang. I'll try to think of some ways to minimize the damage caused by the plague."
"Great!"
Returning to the village from the back mountain, Song An Ning had just walked to the old house at the foot of the mountain when she heard Xiang Xiang's report:
“No one is home. They are all gathered under the big banyan tree. The aunts have made a lot of food with chili peppers, and everyone is there to taste it.
What a chili feast!
The villagers have nothing to do these days. Apart from working in the fields, they also dry peppers, pickle peppers, and develop many new ways to eat peppers.
When Song An Ning learned about this, she did not go home, but went directly to the big banyan tree at the entrance of the village.
Everyone was gathered together chatting and laughing, but the moment they saw Song An Ning, there was some panic in their eyes, and each of them looked like a child who had done something wrong.
"Aning, we didn't mean to be disobedient.
It's really boring to stay at home. No one in the village has contracted the plague and everyone is fine.
That’s why we…”
Song Anning didn't quite understand at first, but after listening to their words, she suddenly realized that she and her second grandfather had agreed yesterday that all the villagers should stay at home and not gather together unless necessary.
They knew they were in the wrong and didn't dare to say anything more because they had just spoken yesterday and made a mistake today.
"It's okay. As of now, no one here has been infected with the plague, so it's relatively safe.
But you still have to be careful, the plague is no joke, it can really kill people."
After hearing this, everyone felt that it was inappropriate for everyone to gather together, so they picked up their lunch boxes and prepared to take their children home.
"Hey? You're leaving now?
Now that we're here, I see everyone is holding chopsticks in their hands. Let's open the food boxes and try everything.
But we agreed that after we finish eating and give our comments, we have to go back.
If you don't obey me again, I will have Number One take you back."
"Hehe, just this once, it was something we all agreed on long ago.
Ah Ning, how about you take a chopstick and try it first?
An aunt opened the food box. She made chili meat sauce. She chopped the meat, mixed it with green and red chilies, fried it with lard, and added some sauce. It tasted really good.
"Auntie's cooking skills are really good. If it is paired with rice or multi-grain rice, I can eat a big bowl."
Immediately afterwards, plate after plate of food was handed to Song An Ning.
"Aning, this is a recipe your aunt and I came up with. We cut the chili peppers into sections, coat them in flour and eggs, and fry them in a pan."
"Aning, try this..."
Mixed, stir-fried, fried, stir-fried...
I have to say that the villagers have this ability, and it can be seen that they are researching carefully. Every dish tastes good.
Two other aunts chopped the chili peppers, mixed them with minced meat, and put them in the pancakes.
Song An Ning was stunned: This is the ancient version of Roujiamo!
Delicious, love it, crunchy!
"Everyone, please use the serving chopsticks to pick up the food and put it on the small plate or leaves, and then use your own chopsticks to eat it."
"Great! We all use serving chopsticks! It's so clean!"
Everyone ate happily, praising the food endlessly. Even though there were a few dishes that were truly unacceptable, they forced themselves to swallow them and offered suggestions in a very tactful way.
It was very lively under the big banyan tree. Song Anning asked Xiangxiang to check whether the entire village was infected with the plague virus.
"Report to the master, there is no virus! It is very safe!"
"You have to look carefully. Everyone looks happy today, but I always feel there is a hint of sadness between their brows!
Even my second grandfather, great-grandfather, and great-grandmother are like this."
“Well, Xiangxiang also feels it’s a bit weird.
Master, use your mind reading skills to see what Second Grandpa is thinking.
"it is good."
Song Anning came to Song Erhe, turned on the mind-reading skill, pretended to know nothing, and asked:
"Second Grandpa, didn't we agree yesterday not to let the villagers go out?
But today you actually brought everyone here to hold a chili banquet..."
Song Erhe smiled bitterly, slowly clenched his hands behind his back, and said softly: It's nothing, we survived the flood and there is no plague in the village, we just got together to have some fun.
But at this time, Song Anning had already used mind reading to figure out what happened, and replied to him in a threatening manner:
"Second Grandpa, please tell the truth.
Otherwise I'll call Number One and have him talk."
"No, no, no, that kid number one is so dumb, what can he say?
I told you it’s not okay…”
