Although it is not a fair, the main street of Linshui Town is still very lively. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 The info shops are all open, and there are people on the streets, and many people come to buy meat and vegetables for the same purpose as on the summer solstice.

Xia Zhi held the money bag given by Mrs. Xia in his hand and began to buy. In addition to the things I planned to buy, I also bought something else at the end of the summer solstice. However, to buy these extra things, Xia Solstice did not spend the money given by Mrs. Xia. When she came to Linshui Town, she also brought money herself.

Then, when passing through the Luoma Market, Xia Zhi also found someone to bring Qian Yuelai and said that he wanted to buy a big livestock and buy a big car, so that Qian Yuelai could help him touch it as soon as possible.

Uncle Xia San followed Xia Zhi all the way, although he was an elder and much older, he still asked Xia Zhi to come forward to speak and do things. On the one hand, Old Man Xia and Old Lady Xia mainly instructed the summer solstice. On the other hand, Uncle Xia San also admires Xia Solstice.

Although Xia Zhi is young, he is more thoughtful than he thinks about many things, and he is very good at arranging things. Uncle Xia San thinks that he can't do a lot of things to the extent that Xia Solstice does.

Xia Zhi returned from Linshui Town with a full load, and handed over the fish and meat he bought, as well as cooked food, to Mrs. Xia. Mrs. Xia found Aunt Xia and Layue and began to prepare meals.

What meals to prepare for this banquet were already discussed by them. These meals can be prepared by Mrs. Xia and Aunt Xia San. However, Mrs. Xia still discussed with Xia Zhi and planned to let Xia Zhi personally make the two fish she bought.

Because there are many people, two tables of banquets have to be held, and two large carps were bought on the summer solstice.

"Your uncle always says that the fish you make is delicious, sixteen, why don't you make these two fish?" Mrs. Xia discussed with Xia Zhi.

Xia Zhi nodded happily in agreement. "Milk, if you can't make that scallop well, let me make it later."

"I've learned that scallop, I'll do it for a while, and Sixteen you'll help me watch over it. Your uncle, you all love to eat this, let's do it a few more times in the future, how can we always let you do it. Mrs. Xia smiled.

The last time she made scallops on the summer solstice, she naturally didn't carry Mrs. Xia on her back, and she also told Mrs. Xia what she needed to pay attention to when she made scallops on the summer solstice.

Mrs. Xia is a skilled cooker, and she has mastered the trick, and after watching it again, she has learned it.

Xia Zhi knew that Mrs. Xia was a diligent person and was proud to be able to cook delicious meals for everyone, so she agreed with a smile.

Then, the summer solstice came to the front yard.

Because of the rain and because the wheat was harvested, the big guy had a good rest for a long time. When Xia Zhi returned to the front yard, he saw Tian sitting on the kang with the eldest girl and the second girl, doing needlework.

"Summer solstice, you're back." Seeing Xia Solstice entering the house, the eldest girl greeted with a smile.

"Hmm." Xia Zhi nodded because she didn't see Xia Qiao, so she asked Tian, "Mother, where is my brother?" ”

Tian lowered his head to do needlework, but did not respond, and did not know whether he had not heard it or what was going on.

The eldest girl hurriedly answered Xia Zhi's question: "Brother Daqiao went to the courtyard, saying that he wanted to exchange the little tree back." ”

"Oh." Xia Zhi nodded to indicate that he understood. Xia Qiao is still very distressed and takes care of his younger siblings.

"What are you doing?" Xia Zhi looked at the needles and threads in the hands of the three people, and probably guessed that Tian was making shoes with the eldest girl and the second girl.

"I'm going to make a new pair of shoes for each of us." The big girl's face was slightly red.

Er Ya peeked at Xia Solstice, his eyes were cautious, as if he was afraid that Xia Solstice would be unhappy because of this.

Xia Zhi naturally didn't take this little thing to heart, so he responded with a smile: "Oh, it turned out to be making shoes." Very good. ”

"What can you do without shoes? I want to make a dress for your eldest sister and second sister, but I have to have money in my hands! Tian suddenly raised his head at this time and said in a somewhat weird manner. Then, she saw Xia Zhi holding something in her hand. "You've come back from town, and you don't seem to have bought a lot of things!"

I just don't think about buying them something!

"With the money given by my grandfather and my grandmother, I went to the town to buy a lot of vegetables and came back. Mother, if you are not in a hurry, you should hurry up to the backyard and help my grandmother and my third aunt cook. This meal in the evening is quite hearty, my father asked us all to go! ”

As soon as she heard that she and her two nieces also had a share in the banquet that night, Tian's face softened a lot.

"You~ Ye really told you, and also let your eldest sister and second sister go to dinner?" Tian still asked.

The wheat was all cut, and in the end, Old Man Xia offered a meal. It stands to reason that the meal invited will not have the portion of the eldest and second girls. After all, they are just two little girls, and they are also her nieces, Tian didn't think that Old Man Xia would elevate two people like this.

This is because she thought badly of Old Man Xia. Old Man Xia has always been very generous, but he doesn't care about two more pairs of chopsticks at the banquet. And no matter how much work the eldest girl and the second girl did, the two of them didn't come back halfway, and the night battle was also supported together, and when they were working, the two of them didn't cheat and play tricks, which won a lot of favor in Old Man Xia.

Of course, this matter is also the meaning of the summer solstice.

Seeing Xia Zhi nodding, Tian lowered his head and pondered for a while, then put down the needle and thread in his hand. Tian is going to take the eldest girl and the second girl to the backyard to help cook and cook together.

This attitude is about the same, Xia Zhi thought secretly in his heart.

"My eldest sister and second sister are also very tired these days, I pulled a piece of cloth, mother, you can watch and make a dress for my eldest sister and second sister to wear." At this time, Xia Zhi opened the small burden in his hand and took out a piece of flower cloth.

The flower cloth is green and blue, and it is densely decorated with small yellow flowers, which is a kind of cloth that is very popular in Linshui Town this year.

The eldest and second girls both showed a look of surprise on their faces.

Tian didn't react for a while, but Xia Zhi said it again before she heard it clearly. "Why did you think of buying cloth for the eldest girl and the second girl!"

This sentence actually has no practical meaning. Tian said this casually, and took the flower cloth. The eldest girl and the second girl came to Daxingzhuang, only the clothes they carried with them, and they didn't even bring an extra piece of cloth.

Old man Tian's meaning is obvious, that is, let Tian add to the eldest and second girls. Such a big little girl doesn't even have a change of clothes, and the embarrassment of the eldest girl and the second girl can be seen.

Tian had no money in his hand, so he could only take out one of his old clothes, and then take one from Xia Zhi's stubborn grinding, and change it for the eldest girl and the second girl, which can be regarded as allowing the two girls to have clothes that can be changed in an emergency, so that they will not be really naked.

However, even so, the eldest girl and the second girl still don't have clothes that they can wear to go out to meet people.

Tian has been thinking about this matter for the past two days, and with Sun Wang's instigation on the side, she feels that the reason why the eldest girl and the second girl are not favored by the rich master's family is mainly because they don't have good clothes to wear and don't dress up well.

She wanted to make a good set of clothes for the eldest girl and the second girl, but she gave all the money in her hand to the old man Tian and Tian Wang's family, where did she have the money to make clothes for the eldest girl and the second girl.

She had hit Xia Solstice with her idea, but Xia Solstice was not leaking, and there was a little black fish eyeing her, so she could only dispel the idea.

Now, Xia Zhi took the initiative to buy rulers for the eldest girl and the second girl, and Tian couldn't help but be surprised.

Holding the flower cloth in his hand, Tian looked at Xia Zhi suspiciously, guessing what Xia Zhi was thinking.

The eldest girl and the second girl were already happy next to them, but they still excused themselves from Xia Zhi, saying that they couldn't ask for the cloth that Xia Solstice bought.

“…… We don't have anything, we have food and clothing here. We can't ask for this cloth, you can keep it to make your own clothes on the summer solstice. In the past few days of wheat cutting, the big guys are busy, and neither of us can do it, but we haven't done much work......"

Most of the words of the eldest girl and the second girl are sincere. They really don't think they do much work. How much wheat did Sun Lao Wu and Sun Lan'er cut, and how much wages did they get. Their food and drink are all provided by the Xia family, and the Xia family doesn't give them anything, so no one can pick out anything.

Moreover, they have done more hard and tiring work at home, not to mention giving them a good meal at home, and being able to give them a good face is a great kindness.

Xia Zhi saw the reactions of Tian, Da Ya and Er Ya in her eyes, and she smiled.

"No matter how much or how little you do, the eldest sister and the second sister are really helpful and do their work. It's better than anything else. Xia Zhi said with a smile, and asked Tian to cut the cloth for the eldest girl and the second girl to make clothes.

Tian thought about it and put away the flower cloth.

The second girl was full of joy, and the eldest girl glanced at Xia Zhi quickly, and then lowered her head. She understood why Xia Zhi sent this cloth to the two sisters, the key was what Xia Zhi said at the end.

This piece of cloth rewards the sincerity of the two sisters, as well as the truthfulness, that is, the honest duty.

Tian took the flower cloth and solved a major matter in his heart, and his mood was very comfortable. She immediately got off the kang and took the eldest girl and the second girl to the backyard.

On the way, Tian also asked Xia Zhi.

"When you go back to town, didn't you help your grandmother and your third aunt sell purses?"

"The big guys are busy these days, and my milk hasn't embroidered their purses." Xia Zhi said lightly.

"You can help sell the purse embroidered by your grandmother and your third aunt, if the mother embroiders the purse......" Tian asked Xia Zhi tentatively.

"As long as the purse is well embroidered and can be sold, then just leave it to me." Xia Zhi agreed very happily, she had long been preparing for Tian to tell her this.

Tian can embroider some purses and sell them for money, which is better than being idle every day. Moreover, she also plans to make more money from Tian's purse.

This plan, naturally, is not busy telling Tian, looking at Tian's happy appearance, Xia Zhi thought with a smile.

Tian brought the eldest girl and the second girl over, and the old man Xia and the old lady Xia were very satisfied. With the help of these three people, the backyard and the house are more lively with laughter and laughter.

"Sixteen, the fish has been cleaned up by your third uncle, what are you going to do?" Mrs. Xia brought the cleaned carp in a basin and asked Xia Zhi.

The little black fish also followed. He had just gone out to play, and when he came back, he was hanging around the two fish and the scallops. Now hearing Mrs. Xia's question, the little black fish flashed a pair of big eyes to look at the summer solstice, looking very expectant.

"I'm going to make sweet and sour fish." The summer solstice said.

The Xia family usually eats carp, which is usually cut into pieces and stewed. The dish of fish stew is also a more popular dish in Beizhen Prefecture, and it is generally done by big guys.

Sweet and sour fish, the little black fish followed the summer solstice in Fucheng, and immediately applauded.

"That's good." Mrs. Xia smiled, Xia Solstice can say anything.

"It's just more fuel-intensive." Xia Zhi first reminded Mrs. Xia of the awakening. Because the sweet and sour fish has to be fried in oil first, and it is not meat oil, but vegetarian.

The main thing used here in the North Town Government is soybean oil.

Soybean oil is much more expensive than meat oil, and the average person can use it a little during the New Year's festival a year, and a small bottle is almost the same for a year.

The Xia family has a better life, and there is a jar of soybean oil in the kitchen all year round.

Before Mrs. Xia could speak, Old Man Xia walked in from outside, just in time to hear Xia Zhi's words about oil.

"Don't be afraid of oil, make the dishes fragrant." Old Man Xia said very simply, "When all the wheat is brought to the house, the pears will be planted again, and then soybeans will be planted." When autumn falls, let's squeeze a few catties of soybean oil. ”

"Then the New Year's croquettes!" The little black fish immediately picked up and said.

"That's right, croquettes!" Old Man Xia smiled.

The little black fish cheered.

Plant soybeans, and then squeeze soybean oil, so that you can eat the most authentic and purest soybean oil, and Xia Zhi expressed his support for Mr. Xia's decision.

"I told my brother that we also grow soybeans on our ten acres of land."

Between the two grandparents and grandchildren, they decided on this very important matter in the villager's house.

After saying this, Old Man Xia went to talk to the old man of the Chen family and Tian Fugui. On the summer solstice, two carps are taken out of the basin, slightly marinated with a flower cutter, and then the sweet and sour sauce is prepared.

The little black fish went to the garden in the backyard to pick two of the earliest ripening tomatoes, and made a tomato sweet and sour sauce with tomato sugar on the summer solstice. This will take time, and the carp will be marinated.

Put oil in a cold pan, and first oil the two carps on the summer solstice. During the period, she also pinched the tail of the fish and made the carp into a carp tail swing shape.

After the oil, the carp has been eight ~ nine medium-cooked, after most of the oil is fished out, and then poured with sweet and sour sauce to burn slightly, this sweet and sour carp is ready.

The fried carp is golden and crispy, and then drizzled with a bright red sweet and sour sauce, it can be said that it has both color and flavor.

Mrs. Xia was full of praise when she saw it, and felt that she was asking the cook to make this dish, but she was afraid that it would not be as good as Xia Zhi. With this sweet and sour carp, plus steamed scallops with garlic, and whole chicken and duck, the Xia family's two tables of banquets are a serious banquet for a daughter-in-law's birthday, and it is not rude.

When the meal was served, Old Man Xia felt very face-saving. The old man of the Chen family, Hetian Fugui, was also very happy. What is in the stomach is still a trivial matter, the Xia family put on such a pomp, first of all, it is important to them, which is the most important thing. (To be continued.) )
