Chapter 490 Farmhouse Dishes Are Also Delicious
"Alright, second brother, come eat with us!"
Old Master Mo spoke up.
Mo Tingfeng and Zhuang Ziyan were dumbfounded.
Has Grandpa forgiven Second Uncle?
Mo Tingyuan and Mu Jinxi felt that their grandfather was being too kind.
Although Mo Jianghuai has changed now, he did do things in the past that were unfair to his grandfather and the Mo Group.
"Let's go eat, and we can talk after we eat."
Lan Xinmei noticed the children's confusion.
She planned to talk to the old man after dinner.
Although Tingye gave his second son a chance, it doesn't mean that the old man has forgiven him.
Isn't this all something they had no choice but to do in order to get back that 5 billion?
The family remained silent and followed the village chief to the village committee.
Village Committee
A large group of villagers were busy at work.
They brought some vegetables from each household.
Some were already prepared, while others were brought over and stir-fried on the spot.
Everyone was very happy.
The village received another 10 million yuan donation from Grandpa Mo, which can be used for many things to help the village's businesses develop better.
Their lives now hold more hope.
Therefore, they all respected the Mo family.
Each family brought their best dishes to the village committee to entertain the Mo family.
Including the peasant woman who taught Hanhan and the others how to dig for houttuynia cordata.
She prepared spicy river shrimp, stir-fried cured pork with garlic sprouts, and cold houttuynia cordata salad at home.
The village committee's large tables were laden with all sorts of dishes.
Surprisingly, no two of the dishes brought by each family were the same.
"Grandpa, everyone, please. I hope you won't mind. These are all vegetables grown in our village, as well as chickens, ducks, fish, and meat raised by us. The taste certainly can't compare to what you get in the city, but they're healthy and made with high technology."
The village chief smiled and arranged seats for the Mo family.
"Grandpa, this is my family's homemade osmanthus wine. It's not very strong, but it tastes pretty good. Please have a taste."
An elderly man with a full head of white hair took out several bottles of his homemade wine.
"Thank you for your hospitality, no problem."
Mr. Mo exchanged a few polite words.
Mu Qianqian picked up the wine bottle, not daring to pour it for her grandfather, since he was too old to drink.
She poured herself a small glass, took a sip, and her eyes lit up instantly.
This wine is mellow and slightly sweet, with a rich osmanthus fragrance; it's truly delicious.
"Uncle, your wine is really delicious!"
Mu Qianqian couldn't help but praise her.
"I'm glad you like it, young madam."
The old man's lips curled into a smile.
"Honey, even if it tastes good, you can't drink too much. You rarely drink alcohol, so you can't get drunk and feel unwell."
Mo Tingye stopped him.
"Okay, you can try it."
Mu Qianqian poured her husband another glass.
Mo Tingye's expression, like Mu Qianqian's, showed his great enjoyment of the wine.
"Tingye, pour Grandpa a glass, I want to try some too."
Grandpa Mo also became interested.
"Yes, you can, but you can only have one sip."
"Row."
Mo Tingye poured half a glass for his grandfather, and the old man's eyes lit up after drinking it.
Mo Jianghuai poured a cup for his elder brother Mo Jiangnan, then poured one for himself, and they drank together.
The others also tried a sip, and they all praised it.
Mo Jianghuai's mind raced, and he spotted a business opportunity.
"Sir, would you like to collaborate with us on your wine? I'll provide the investment and purchase the brewing equipment, you handle the brewing, and I'll take care of the sales. We can split the profits 40/60, is that alright?"
"Oh? I only brew this for my own family to drink. I wouldn't have brought it out if it weren't for the important guests who came today and wanted to invite you to drink it."
The white-haired old man looked on in surprise.
He never expected his wine to be so popular.
"Let's talk after we eat, second brother."
"Old Master Mo said to his adopted son."
"Okay, Dad."
Mo Jianghuai didn't insist on chatting with the old man anymore.
Hanhan was delighted to see the bright red river shrimp, which smelled wonderful.
He picked up a piece of food with his chopsticks and ate it.
"Daddy, Mommy, you have to try this! It's crispy and fragrant, with a spicy and braised flavor. It's so delicious! It's much better than the Australian lobsters we usually eat."
"it is good."
Mo Tingye agreed.
He felt that these country-grown shrimp probably couldn't taste as good as the expensive lobsters in high-end restaurants, and that his son must have never eaten farm-style food before, which was why he liked them so much.
One bite of river shrimp, and you're greeted with a spicy, savory, crispy, and incredibly fresh flavor.
It seems he was wrong; he underestimated farm-style cuisine.
"Mmm, it's really delicious. Grandpa, Mom and Dad, Big Brother and Sister-in-law, Jinxi, the babies, and my wife, you should all try it."
"Second Young Master, this was made by Yu Fen. Her cold-dressed houttuynia cordata is even better."
The mountain praised the peasant woman.
"Is it houttuynia cordata? She just gave us some, and it was really delicious."
Hanhan followed suit and praised it.
"And this spicy chicken, braised duck, and boiled fish were all brought by the villagers. You should all try them."
The village chief introduced the dishes brought by the villagers.
The whole family happily ate.
The Mo family, accustomed to expensive and exquisite dishes, were full of praise for this table of farm-style food.
Before long, they had eaten and drunk their fill.
"Grandpa Village Chief, I never imagined that the food in the countryside would be so delicious! It's even better than what our chef makes at home!"
Wanwan's little face was all red from eating.
"Young lady, if you like it, the village chief will arrange it for you again after we pay respects to your great-grandmother tomorrow."
"Thank you, Grandpa Village Chief."
Wanwan was happy.
This trip back to my hometown to pay respects to my great-grandmother brought an unexpected surprise.
Even farm-style dishes are delicious.
"Grandpa Village Chief, are there any fun places to visit in the village?"
After Hanhan finished eating, he wanted to find a fun place to play.
"Young master, there's nothing fun in the village. Why don't you go and take a stroll around the village?"
"it is good."
"Grandpa, have you eaten? This is my arrangement for tomorrow's memorial service for the old lady. Please take a look and see if there are any parts that need to be changed. I made it according to the customs of Yangzhou and Huafang Village."
Village head Changshan took out his written plan for the sacrificial ceremony and handed it to the old man.
"Let's talk in your office."
"Okay, old man."
“You should all go back to your ancestral home, or go for a walk in the village! Jiangnan and Jianghuai, come with me.”
Grandpa Mo made the arrangements.
"Okay, Dad."
Mo Jiangnan and Mo Jianghuai knew that this was a major event for the Mo family and that they needed to discuss it together.
"Grandpa, let's go for a walk in the village and buy some things we need. You can come back with Dad and the others later."
Mo Tingye's wife wasn't very satisfied with the things the village chief had arranged for them, so he thought he'd go to the village supermarket and buy something new.
"it is good."
Supported by Mo Jiangnan and Mo Jianghuai, Grandpa Mo followed the village chief to the office.
"Let's go, honey, let's see if there's anything you want to buy at the village supermarket."
"it is good."
"You all follow."
Mo Tingye held his wife's hand and called out to their three babies as they left the village committee.
Lan Xinmei and the others went along as well.
Since there wasn't much to do in the countryside, we went to the supermarket to browse around.
