Chapter 149: Invite the people of the village to dinner
Sister-in-law Zhou Xue and Grandma Zhou sat at the table closest to the door of the big kitchen, and when they saw Zhou Xiaoliu coming over with a tray, Zhou Xue hurriedly stood up.
Zhou Xiaoliu was a little surprised, my sister-in-law has changed sex, and she knows how to help serve food?
The next moment, Zhou Xue broke her illusion.
I saw that her eyes quickly swept the eight plates of braised chicken nuggets on the tray, and then picked up a plate with her left hand and right hand, weighed it, and chose the plate with the most weight and put it in front of her.
Then he handed Zhou Xiaoliu an empty plate and said, "The previous plate of cold enoki mushrooms tastes good, you go and see if there is anything in the kitchen, and if there is, add another plate to me!"
After speaking, he picked up the chopsticks and unceremoniously picked up the chicken nuggets and stuffed them into his mouth, completely ignoring the disdainful eyes of the guests at the same table.
Zhou Xiaoliu glanced at the table and said, "Sister-in-law, don't put all the meat and vegetables on your side, move them to the middle, otherwise, no one else will be able to catch them." ”
"Grandma, I want to eat chicken too!" said a child sitting across from Zhou Xue to his grandmother.
Zhou Xue glanced up at Zhou Xiaoliu and the child, then lowered her head again, pretending that she didn't hear.
However, Grandma Zhou blushed a little when she was seen by the people at the table, and changed the position of the dishes on the table. The atmosphere became harmonious.
Braised chicken feet, fried peanuts, cold salad kelp shreds, cold enoki mushrooms, stewed pig's trotters, steamed pork, plus braised chicken nuggets in Zhou Xiaoliu's hands have been placed on the table, a total of seven dishes.
Zhou Xiaoliu successively served five dishes: beer duck, mutton vermicelli, braised fish pieces, fried loach and beef stewed taro.
Zhou's mother then fried dried sauerkraut, minced meat and eggplant, green pepper and shredded potatoes and a dish of green vegetables.
When the village treats guests, serving green vegetables is a "clear" dish, which means that when the dishes are finished, that's all.
After Zhou's mother was done, she picked up a bottle containing a small half bottle of soju from the side of the stove, took a small cup, and toasted a glass of wine on each table to express her gratitude.
Grandma Jin Zi said: "This table of dishes is more sumptuous than eating Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, you are too polite, too expensive!"
Mother Zhou put down her chopsticks, sighed, and said, "Yes, auntie, if you don't have everyone's help, my Xiaocheng will be stolen by that damn trafficker." ”
"I was in the hospital for the past two days, and I couldn't stop being afraid. I heard from the nurses and patients in the hospital that those traffickers did everything that was unconscionable. There are those who sell their children to the mountains, there are those who break their hands and feet, twist their limbs and beg them, and those who are noisy and cover them to death...... It's all sorted, and it makes my hands and feet tingle when I hear it!"
In these years, the news is blocked, and it is impossible for the people in the village to know the major and minor events happening in various parts of the country as they did in the later era when there were mobile phones and the Internet.
They rarely even heard about what was going on in the town next door.
Therefore, at first hearing these words, Grandma Kaneko and the women at the same table were stunned.
After a long while, Grandma Kaneko regained her voice and asked hoarsely, "These are all true?"
Then, she said to the others, "Everyone should keep an eye on the children, and tell everyone they know about it, so that they can be on guard against it......."
On the main table, Zhou Qinghu pushed Grandpa Zhou, held a piece of beef in front of Grandpa Zhou and gave him a look, and said softly: "Dad, look, beef!"
Grandpa Zhou, who had drunk several glasses of wine and was already slightly drunk, didn't react, and responded: "Well, it's beef!"
Zhou Qinghu was anxious and said, "Beef, cow, our ......."
The last cow word was covered by Grandpa Zhou, who reacted in time.
What's wrong with the beef? What's wrong with the cow? Not to mention that it can't be the beef of the cow in my own family, even if it is, with the 10,000 yuan in the black plastic bag, it's worth it.
It is the right thing to make a fortune in a muffled voice, but if you shout it out, what if the money flies?
Because the movements of the two of them were a bit big, the guests such as Father Zhou and the second uncle cast inexplicable glances at the two of them.
Grandpa Zhou embarrassedly let go of Zhou Qinghu's mouth and said with a dry smile: "This kid hasn't eaten much beef, so he finally ate it once, and praised his sister-in-law for making it delicious." ”
Then, Grandpa Zhou turned his head to Zhou Qinghu and said: "Your sister-in-law's cooking skills have nothing to say, not only the beef is delicious, but the duck is also stewed fragrantly. ”
Grandpa Zhou picked up a piece of duck meat, put it in Zhou Qinghu's bowl, and gave him an "unspeakable" look. Zhou Qinghu had no choice but to stop saying anything and concentrate on eating wine and food.
Whether others believe his words or not, Grandpa Zhou doesn't know, anyway, his eldest son will definitely believe it.
Really.
After hearing this, Dad Zhou smiled and said: "Qinghu, if you like to eat, eat more, this stewed pig's trotters are rotten, glutinous, and delicious." As he spoke, he sandwiched a piece of each of his father and fourth brother.
Today's lunch is really sumptuous, I haven't eaten so many good dishes at once for many years, Zhou Xiaoliu leaned on the edge of the pillar in front of the door, holding a big bowl and sighing while eating.
It's just that when she saw the scene of "father and son filial piety, brother and brother brother" between Dad Zhou, Grandpa Zhou and the four uncles and three people at the main table, she suddenly felt that the bowl in her hand was too big, as if it was a little too much, and she couldn't finish it. The eyes are also a little spicy.
She turned around and entered her own room, and decided to eat with Zhou Cheng and Sun Wu, who couldn't get rid of her.
……
The guests gradually ate and drank enough to leave, leaving only Grandpa Zhou's family who had not yet gotten up.
Zhou's mother refused the help of Grandma Jinzi, rolled up her sleeves and worked, she had to put the unfinished dishes on her own plate as much as possible, and wash all the tableware borrowed from other people's families and return them.
Grandma Zhou also got up and walked to Zhou's mother, ready to help, Zhou Xue on the other table picked up two plates of unfinished meat and vegetables and shouted: "Mom, come here, help me bring these dishes back, I want to eat at night!"
Grandma Zhou had no choice but to smile at Zhou's mother and walked away.
Zhou Xiaoliu, who had already eaten enough, snatched the chopsticks from Zhou's mother's hand and said, "Let's rest for a while, I've been busy since early in the morning, and I'm so tired that I can't lift my arms just by swinging a shovel to stir-fry." ”
Zhou's mother looked at Zhou Xiaoliu and compared Zhou Xue's appearance just now, and she was very pleased. Xiaoliu is a well-behaved child with a shadow of his childhood.
Thinking of this, she whispered to Zhou Xiaoliu: "Fortunately, I was smart and didn't call your grandparents here, otherwise, your grandmother would have been tired." ”
Zhou Xiaoliu then remembered that she didn't invite her grandparents to her family today, so she asked, "It really doesn't matter if you didn't invite your grandparents to dinner?"
Zhou's mother replied: "I took the time to tell them yesterday and asked them to come at night." I kept a copy of all those good dishes in the cupboard. In the evening, we will eat with your grandparents and your grandparents. ”
"Don't invite grandpa to them?"
"Just ask your grandfather to come over and have two drinks with your grandfather. As for the others, don't you see your sister-in-law pulling those meat and vegetables into the house? They don't go hungry at night. ”
