Chapter Seventy-Three: To the County Seat

The adults laughed happily, unconsciously diverted by the cute children. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoOnly Mrs. Wang was still looking at her eldest son-in-law persistently, thinking incomprehensibly, why didn't the eldest son-in-law pick up his stubble at all today?

From time to time, the chestnuts in the brazier make a popping, popping, bursting sound, and some will pop out. The children used thin, long bamboo branches to make chopsticks, and when they saw a burst chestnut jumping to the side, they grabbed two long bamboo branches and scrambled for it. You snatched what I robbed, and the adults who watched the excitement couldn't be happy. When the interest came, I couldn't help but break two bamboo branches, and rushed to play with the children, causing more than a dozen children to scream. On the eaves of the main house of the Liu family, it suddenly boiled. The second uncle and aunt of the Wang family, who had just arrived outside, heard the movement inside, and their eyes widened in disbelief. Damn, how many people are here?

"Oh! Today, my eldest sister's family is not only from our Wang family, but I am afraid that there are many people from other places. Listen, there are hundreds of people, not to mention this!" Wang Hongxia hugged her old son, walked in front, and heard the children's screams, the adults laughing, and the lively noise in the courtyard again, stopped, and turned back to the second uncle and aunt who looked surprised.

The second uncle of the Wang family is a more reasonable person, and when he heard that there were a lot of other guests at his eldest niece's house, he said with some annoyance: "I knew that we would come over another day, and we will all be together all of a sudden, Hong Ying must be busy?!"

As a housewife, the second aunt of the Wang family has the most say in such things as entertaining guests at home, and she pouted at the man: "What do you know? If someone is going to come to this house, it is best to come together and entertain them all at once, how good! ”

After a few words, they stepped into the courtyard, and when they looked at it, they saw that it was all from their Wang family.

The second uncle of the Wang family couldn't hold back the curiosity in his heart, looked at Liu Yujin's eldest niece and son-in-law, and asked strangely: "All the people from your family who came to your house today are from our family?!"

Liu Yujin looked at his uncle's puzzled expression, and he was even more strange: "Yes! ”

Wang Hongying, who was busy in the kitchen, heard that the second uncle and second aunt had arrived, so she stood at the door of the kitchen and shouted at Liu Yujin: "Liu Yujin! You go to your mother-in-law's house and carry a table here, and you are ready to eat." ”

"Oh! I'll go!"

When Wang Hongying heard her brother say that there were at least three tables of people, she prepared according to the four tables.

Live geese, live ducks, and live chickens are never broken at home, and it is enough for geese to kill one, and ducks to kill two. She looked at the chickens that had been released from the cage, and she was running after me in the bamboo garden, and knew that it would be a lot of trouble to catch them. Thinking that there was a lot of air-dried pheasant in the hanging basket, it could also be used as fresh chicken if it was processed a little, so I put down the big broom in my hand that was ready to be used to pounce on the chicken. Others pay attention to not killing in the first month, but she doesn't care. Although she was not so active in removing the four old ones back then, from the actions of others, she saw that there was no need to be afraid of many customs.

Knowing the dishes on the table in the first month of more than ten years later, you can find that Wang Hongying's dish today is trendy.

There are only three salty dishes, including a plate of salted duck, a plate of salted goose, and a plate of fried salted fish with daylily, all because the guests who come to her house like to eat these three things. She prepared a full plate of high stacks every time, and just like that, she was eaten up every time. Therefore, these three plates of salty goods have become a must-have dish for guests at home!

Braised pork, sweet and sour fish, goose meat, chestnut pheasant, bracken roasted pork, roasted rabbit meat in rolling sauce, roasted duck in sauce. Two pots, one for duck and one for lamb. There are also a lot of vegetarian dishes, such as vermicelli, Qianzhang silk, tofu, dried seeds, coriander, chrysanthemum, and yellow heart black, which are all used to burn the pot and eat.

Fortunately, it was made according to the amount of four tables, and when everyone sat in a row, almost all four tables did not sit down. The children all have three long benches, and children under the age of four have to be held on their mother's body, which is why everyone is arranged.

Whether it is adults or children, they have not eaten so many fresh and hot dishes during the New Year, and today I eat them with open arms. At noon, the men ate until more than three o'clock in the afternoon. As soon as their wine glasses were put down and ready to eat rice, Wang Hongying began to be busy with dinner again.

After dinner, it was time to send the guests away, but the children from the Wang family cried and refused to leave: "I won't leave! I want to live at my aunt's house!"

The children's childish words caused the adults to burst into laughter, and Wang Hongying couldn't cry or laugh, but he couldn't really leave them to live at home.

Seeing off the guests, Wang Hongying was busy washing dishes, brushing pots and cleaning the kitchen, and Liu Yujin was busy packing up some things to take to the county seat tomorrow.

The first thing to give is to Director Xiang's family, the little salted goods, rabbit meat, and pheasant meat that I gave a few years ago, I am afraid that I will have eaten all of them in the past few days of the New Year. Now that you know that there will be no shortage at home, you can bring more. Bring two salted geese and two salted ducks, the salty food is not so delicious in February, and these are almost enough for their family to eat until the end of the month. Six dried rabbits, four dried mountain chickens, daylily and dried bracken, and many more, each bring a packet. Nianbaba is also rare in the city, and it is waterlogged on twenty belts. I also had to bring a salted goose, a salted duck, two rabbits, two pheasants, and ten years of poop to the salesman at the candy counter. As for Director Zhao, he won't bring it, his office is collective, and it's better not to give one than to give one, just like an old saying in their family: There is no less than one household in a village.

Wang Hongying, who was busy with the kitchen, returned to the hall and saw Liu Yujin's raw poop in a snakeskin bag, and frowned: "How ugly is this for you, why don't you bring the tuo poop? That one is sticky, soft and good-looking, and people in the city love to eat it." ”

There are two kinds of rice cakes here, one is raw baba, the method is to make the wet noodles of baba with dry water into a flat circle the size of a sea bowl, and put them on a steamer to steam. The other is cooked baba, the method is to eat dry water baba wet noodles, a small piece of steam in the steamer, after steaming, but also put it in a clay pot with a wooden stick for a long time. After ensuring that each piece has been carried out, it is then kneaded into a small ball and placed in a wood carving mold to form a poop with flowers. Generally, this kind of poop is used for happy events or gifts, and is rarely used for home consumption. Therefore, when Wang Hongying saw Liu Yujin taking raw baba instead of giving it away, he was a little incomprehensible.

"I think that the extension of the poop time is not long, and I have sent eighty of them a year ago, and I am afraid that his family will not be able to eat it for a while and a half, and it will be broken. ”

"Then you take half of the extension and half of the raw poop, so that it also shows respect for others. ”

In the end, Liu Yujin still listened to his daughter-in-law's words and replaced half of the raw baba. When I arrived at the shopping mall I went to in the county seat, I put down the things I wanted to give to Director Xiang and the salesperson, and then went to Director Zhao.
