Chapter 400: 120: Allowing you to see people through the door crack, up on the beam!_4
Nobody knew what Ni Yang was really up to.
“I’ll try one.” Xiaohua reached for a chicken foot.
Before Grandma Xiaohua could stop her, Xiaohua had already taken a bite of the chicken foot.
Grandma Xiaohua anxiously said, “Spit it out, spit it out quickly! You can’t eat raw meat! Are you silly, child?”
“Grandma, this chicken foot isn’t raw! It tastes really good! You won’t believe it until you try it!” Xiaohua held the chicken foot up to her grandma’s face.
As everyone knows, when you bite into a cooked chicken foot, there should be blood inside.
But the chicken foot in Xiaohua’s hand didn’t have a single drop of blood. It was clearly cooked.
But was it really that delicious?
Grandma Xiaohua bit into it with a mix of belief and doubt.
Upon tasting it, the flavor truly was astonishing, a tangy and spicy taste spread throughout her mouth. The chicken foot had a rich flavor, it was nothing like it appeared to be.
It was appetizing and refreshing, it was way more delicious than braised chicken feet!
Grandma Xiaohua couldn’t help but nod her head, “Delicious, it’s really delicious!”
The others at the table curiously asked, “Is it really that good?”
“Of course!” Grandma Xiaohua replied, “If you don’t believe it, try it yourself.”
The others picked up a chicken foot with a mixture of trust and doubt.
Suddenly, exclamations erupted all around.
“Yangyang is really amazing!”
“Oh my god! I’ve never eaten such delicious chicken feet before!”
The commotion at their table quickly grabbed the attention of the tables next to them, one after another got affected, within moments, there were no chicken feet left on the table as everyone had finished them off.
Wu Daming walked in from outside, with a slight shock in his eyes from seeing so many people in the courtyard.
Seeing so many people on the day of the roof beam raising showed that his sister-in-law had a high status in the village!
Wu Daming grew up in the countryside and knew the customs of the village.
If the hostess was not well-liked in the village, there wouldn’t be so many people present on the day of the roof beam raising.
There were so many people in the courtyard that it took Wu Daming quite awhile to find Mo Qishen who was mingling among the people, handing out cigarettes.
Is that really Mo Qishen?
Could Mo Qishen really be acting so humbly?
Wu Daming swallowed in surprise.
“Brother Six!” Wu Daming, suppressing his astonishment, approached Mo Qishen.
Mo Qishen nodded and said, “You’ve arrived. Have all the things been prepared?”
“Brother Six, you can count on me!” Wu Daming patted his chest in assurance.
Mo Qishen turned his head to the side and asked in a low voice, “Do you have any more Yellow Crane Tower cigarettes?”
“No.” Wu Daming shook his head. Yellow Crane Tower cigarettes were 20 yuan a pack, and they were not something that he could afford to smoke.
Furthermore, Wu Daming had just built a new house, and he needed to save money for home decor!
Mo Qishen handed Wu Daming a few bills, “Go and buy me a few packs of Yellow Crane Tower cigarettes, and be quick.”
Knowing that there would be many people today, Mo Qishen had specially brought five packs of Yellow Crane Tower.
But after circulating it twice, there were only a few left of the Yellow Crane Tower.
“Alright.” Wu Daming continued, “The things are on the farm machine outside. Brother Six, you can take sister-in-law to check it out.”
After saying that, Wu Daming turned and left.
Mo Qishen found Ni Yang in the kitchen, “Yangyang, come out with me.”
“Okay.” Ni Yang followed Mo Qishen out.
Outside, there was a blue farm vehicle parked. At that time, cars were very rare and a few children were already playing on it.
In the back of the car were several large appliances.
A Swan brand washing machine.
A Snowflake brand fridge.
The Snowflake fridge was launched in 1956. It was one of the earliest premium products in China, and it has won the favor of many domestic and foreign consumers, also became a source of pride for the Chinese people.
There was also an air conditioner that can cool the room.
Summer was just around the corner, and with the air conditioner, one could truly enjoy a cool summer.
All the appliances on the truck were what Ni Yang wanted to buy, but she had been unable to get them, not because she didn’t have the money, but because she didn’t have the channels.
In the 1980s, the difficulty of transport resulted in great limitations on the movement of goods, making it hard for people to buy what they wanted.
Mo Qishen then said, “Yangyang, these are my housewarming gifts to you, please accept them.”
Ni Yang hesitated for a moment. “Brother Mo, these are too precious. I can’t accept them.”
Even though she was now Mo Qishen’s girlfriend, she still had principles to uphold, no matter what, she couldn’t accept these expensive gifts from him.
