    At this time, the door in the house opened, and the aroma of food came. At the same time, Zhang Shan's wife came out wearing an apron and said to Zhang Shan, "The food is ready, let's put the table up." After that,  , nodded to everyone present, and entered the room again.  "Come, everyone, put the table." Zhang Shan called to the villagers around him, and everyone stood up together. Then Zhang Shan pulled the two-sided table standing against the wall, unfolded it and put it down.  This table is not small. One table can seat more than ten people, and two tables can seat thirty people.  Zhou Tian didn't know if Zhang Shan's family always had such a generous meal, but thinking about it, it might be related to the fact that his family often entertained guests. After all, he was the village chief. It was normal to eat and drink.  Several young students helped and quickly placed the wooden benches.  Zhang Shan, on the other hand, entered the room and quickly brought out a basin of water, asking Zhou Tian to wash his hands first.  With so many people here, how could Zhou Tian be the first to wash his hands, not to mention the old man is still there.  However, several old men insisted that there was no other way, so Zhou Tian could only wash his hands quickly.  In fact, his hands were not dirty at all. After washing, the water in the basin was still clear.  This impressed the villagers very much. As expected of someone from the city, he really pays attention to hygiene.  In fact, the reality is completely different from what they thought. No one who has walked three hundred kilometers alone will be as clean as Zhou Tian, ??without even sweating.  Of course, no one noticed this.  More than 20 people washed their hands.  The water in the basin was completely dark, and Zhou Tian was speechless when he saw it. This can't be said that everyone's hands are too dirty, it can only be said that there are too many people.  This water was not wasted. Zhang Shan sprinkled it into the vegetable field. There was no soap foam in the water, so it could still be used to water vegetables.  After that, Zhang Shan went into the vegetable field and got out a bunch of green onions, side dishes and the like. He went back to the house and got another basin of water, washed it twice in a row, and put it on a plate on the table.  Zhang Shan went over again and brought the bowls, chopsticks and other items, and also brought miso.  Look at the pile of cucumbers, lettuce, and green onions. They are bright green and white with a little bit of crystal water droplets. Isn¡¯t this a great harvest?  Now that we have entered January, this bumper harvest is a good dish, and it is even more meaningful.  Especially this dish is Zhou Tian's favorite, and he saw a smile on Ziran's face.  Soon, Zhang Shan¡¯s wife and daughter came out one after another, carrying two large basins of golden cakes and placing them on the table.  In an instant, a sweet aroma of corn spread out, it was extremely intoxicating, it was so fragrant.  Zhou Tian smelled this smell and knew that this corn cake was made from this year's new corn, otherwise it would not have this fragrance.  Before Zhou Tian, ??I could only eat these when I returned to my hometown. This is the purest and most natural delicacy.  Similarly, Zhou Tian can only eat the newly produced rice when he returns to his hometown. Before leaving, he will take dozens of kilograms of rice from his hometown with him and return to the capital to eat deliciously for a while.  This is already Zhou Tian's limit. Zhou Tian seemed heavy before, but his physique was really not that good.  Zhang Shan and his wife entered the house again. Soon after, they came out, each carrying a large basin. The heat was rising from it, exuding an astonishing aroma of meat. They were all large pieces of cooked meat with bones.  Zhou Tian took a look, it looked a bit like chicken, but it was too big.  Zhou Tian knew that this was rabbit meat. Zhang Shan had ordered it before, but Zhou Tian did not expect that he would cook two large pots like this. He must have stewed two rabbits.  The rabbits are too fat now. Zhou Tian was shocked when he saw the rabbit hanging from Zhang Shan and the others' waists.  Two rabbits stewed are definitely enough for these people.  At this point, the food is served and everyone sits down.  The people present now are basically the core figures in the village. They are very familiar with each other and their demeanor is very natural.  Zhang Shan went back to the house again and brought out a large jar, estimated to weigh more than twenty kilograms.  "Brother Zhou is here today. We haven't been together for a while. I just took out the few wines left. Brother Zhou, give it a try. How is this wine better than Erguotou in the capital city?" Zhang Shan took the wine seriously.  Put it on the table, open the mud seal, and instantly, a strong aroma of wine comes.  Zhou Tian naturally knows a lot about liquor. When he smelled it, he knew that it was pure corn liquor. It was estimated to have 40 to 50 degrees of alcohol. Good guy, the alcohol was quite high.  "This wine smells delicious. I'll have some more later." Zhou Tian said with a smile.  Seeing that Zhou Tian was satisfied, Zhang Shan was very happy. First he filled a bowl for Zhang Shan, then a few elderly people, and finally everyone else.  Zhou Tian was a guest, so he was naturally the first one. The old man was naturally in the front. The people's customs were simple. Zhou Tian sighed in his heart when he saw this.  After that, everyone sat down and got ready to start.  Zhou Tian took a look and thought, well, why didn¡¯t Zhang Shan¡¯s wife and daughter come over?    "Brother Zhang, why didn't my sister-in-law and niece come out? They have been busy for a long time, how can we leave them out?" Although Zhou Tian knew that this was a custom in some villages, he still made a suggestion.  Zhang Shan glanced at the elderly people at the same table and saw them nodding. Zhang Shan smiled at Zhou Tian and said, "Since Brother Zhou has confessed, naturally let my wife and daughter come out." After saying that, Zhang Shan said again  He ran back to the house and called his wife and daughter out.  In fact, this is a custom in the village, and it is the same in many places. Zhang Shan¡¯s wife and daughter are all used to it.  Knowing that it was Zhou Tian's suggestion, the two of them followed Zhang Shan out with smiles on their faces. They were particularly fond of Zhou Tian, ??a fat young man.  Both of them are carrying bowls and chopsticks, so just add a stool.  At this point, Zhang Shan's family, several elders in the village, and more than a dozen core figures were all seated, and the village banquet officially began.  Zhang Shan stood up first and welcomed Zhou Tian¡¯s arrival. After all, he has been the village chief for two terms, and he is still very skilled at the table.  Seeing this, Zhou Tian naturally stood up and expressed his gratitude to the village for their warm hospitality.  Naturally, the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves, and the courtyard was filled with a warm atmosphere.  Naturally, Zhou Tian also drank two large bowls of wine because of this, and everyone applauded him. He was indeed a northerner with a good drinker.  After that, everyone took a piece of corn pancake, or ate the cooked rabbit meat, or chewed the green onions with dipping sauce, and ate the fragrance.  At the same time, everyone also started chatting, chatting while eating, the atmosphere was very harmonious, warm and cozy, and the scenery of happy times in the countryside was particularly intoxicating.  Zhang Shan¡¯s girl is called Zhang Lin, which is a combination of the surnames of Zhang Shan and his wife Lin Mei. This name was given by the most educated old man in the village. It is said that it also refers to the five elements.  After graduating from high school, Zhang Lin went to work as a teacher in a rural primary school. She only visited the provincial capital and had never been to the capital, so she was very interested in it.  At this moment, let Zhou Tian talk about what the capital is like.
