Chapter 36~9 Barbecue

The specific matters are mainly discussed between Mrs. Xia and Aunt Xia, and Xia Zhi doesn't know much about these, but she puts forward her own opinions and ideas when she needs to. Pen~Fun~Ge www.biquge.info they discussed it here, and in the end, they had to get the consent of Old Man Xia.

Old Man Xia drank too much, and the old man of the Qian family drank a lot. After eating, the two brothers lay on the kang and began to snore. When they woke up, they began to drink tea and chatter again. Xia Zhi, Mrs. Xia and Aunt Xia all went into the house to help renew the tea, and the two old men chatted and didn't play anymore, from ancient times to the present, from the south to the north, but the main thing is to recall the two when they were young.

“…… I didn't stop chatting for three days and three nights. Mrs. Xia smiled and said to Xia Zhi and Aunt Xia.

Second Uncle Xia came to the upper room twice, and it seemed that he had something to say to Old Man Xia, but he didn't find a chance. Mrs. Xia was a little vigilant, worried that Second Uncle Xia had not given up yet. She knows Old Man Xia, so she is not worried that Old Man Xia will change his hexagram, but she is worried that Third Uncle Xia and Third Aunt Xia will be honest and honest, and then let Second Uncle Xia agree to something.

Mrs. Xia told Aunt Xia about this worry in front of Xia Zhi. Uncle Xia San said no. Xia Solstice also said no.

"My second uncle must have something else to tell my grandfather. Xia Zhi said with a smile.

Xia Zhi also knows Second Uncle Xia better. He begged Old Man Xia once, but after all, May's family affair did not come to fruition. He would definitely take this opportunity to ask Old Man Xia for something else.

"I guess it's a matter of two pillars. Xia Zhi whispered his thoughts, "If you don't believe it, we'll see it later." ”

Old Mrs. Xia and Aunt Xia both smiled and said that they believed that they didn't have to wait for a while to look at it again, what Xia Zhi said must be right. While they were talking, Old Man Xia came out to go to the backyard to relieve himself because he had drunk too much tea. Mrs. Xia told Mr. Xia to be careful, saying that he was old and had drunk a lot of wine.

"It's okay," Old Man Xia didn't like to hear this, "I'm not old or eighty yet." ”

Old Mrs. Xia stopped talking, and at this time, Xiao Xia Lin ran over. Mrs. Xia said a few words to Xiao Xialin, and Xiao Xialin ran to the backyard to see Old Man Xia.

After a while, Xiao Xia Lin helped Old Man Xia walk back. In fact, Xia Lin is still young, although he has put on a posture of supporting Old Man Xia, he can't play a role in supporting. But that's it, and it also makes Old Man Xia very rare.

Xiao Xia Lin is actually quite good at coming to things, which is much better than his father's mother, everyone usually says so.

"Let's go play. Old Man Xia instructed Xiao Xia Lin with a smile, and then went into the house to continue chatting with the old man of the Qian family. Xiao Xia Lin ran over with a smile, he approached Aunt Xia's arms, and then smiled at Xia Zhi and Old Lady Xia.

"Xiao Linzi, what are you laughing at?" Xia Zhi felt that Xiao Xia Lin was smiling strangely, so he asked. think

Xiao Xia Lin grinned, Xia Zhi asked again, and he said, "I told our master just now......"

Xiao Xia Lin took advantage of the time to accompany Old Man Xia, and actually told Old Man Xia about Second Uncle Xia's request for Third Uncle Xia to let his uncle.

"Just your mouth. Aunt Xia San scolded Xiao Xia Lin.

Xia Zhi pursed his lips and couldn't help laughing, even if Old Man Xia didn't scold Second Uncle Xia this time, he would never pity him anymore and promise him any conditions.

Seeing that it was getting late, Xia Zhi said to Mrs. Xia, and then~ entered the house to discuss with Mr. Xia about eating barbecue at night.

“…… Ask Uncle Hei to help, and then ask the two of you to accompany you and my third master to drink and chat. Xia Zhi said so, for the guests to be invited, she only mentioned Sun Si'er and Tian Fugui.

Old Man Xia is a smart person, and as soon as Xia Zhi talked about these two people, he understood. This is to take the opportunity of the invitation to talk to Sun Si'er and Tian Fugui to stop the gossip about the May sisters. In addition, you can also publicize the fact that Layue and Qian Yue came to get married.

Lao Hei also helped the Xia family a lot, and Old Man Xia had already planned to invite Lao Hei to dinner.

Therefore, Old Man Xia immediately nodded, and then arranged for Second Uncle Xia, Third Uncle Xia and Xia Qiao to go separately to invite people. Next, Mr. Xia raised his question about eating barbecue at night.

If you have a serious meal, if you only eat barbecue, isn't it inappropriate?

"My grandmother also has another dish, which is a multi-course barbecue. Xia Zhi said with a smile. This is the idea of taking care of Old Man Xia, as for her and the little black fish, the big guy can only eat barbecue.

The little black fish happened to come in and heard the barbecue, he was very happy, so he danced and told Old Man Xia how delicious the barbecue was.

"You, you have a heart to eat, and you think about eating every day. Old Man Xia pinched the face of the little black fish and said with a laugh.

The old man of the Qian family was a little hot when he looked at it from the side. Who doesn't want something old.

"I'll still be able to study. The little black fish expressed dissatisfaction, and then ran out with Xia Zhi.

When I came back from Fucheng, Xia Zhi asked the craftsman to follow the shape of the barbecue stall oven, and slightly improved it, and built an oven to bring back, which was to prepare for eating barbecue when the family cat was in winter.

Old Man Xia didn't wronged Little Black Fish, but he should even talk about Xia Solstice. The little black fish is the one who just says but doesn't do it, and Xia Solstice is the one who really put a lot of thought into eating and put it into action.

The oven was arranged in the leeward part of the yard, in addition to the leg of mutton, Xia Zhi also marinated some lamb chops, and then she also brought Layue, Xiaoshuer, Erzhu, May, July and Guo Yuhuan to skewer a few lamb skewers. In addition to these meats, Xia Solstice also asked the big guy to skewer some potatoes and bean skin.

In the winter of Beizhen Province, there are too few fresh vegetables and vegetables, but sweet and sour radishes are always available, as well as fruits and canned fruits in the cellar, so I don't worry about eating fire.

When Lao Hei came, the summer solstice had already prepared all the seasonings and the charcoal. Lao Hei didn't need to explain the summer solstice, so he was familiar with the work. Judging by his posture, he should have had a barbecue before.

Xia Zhi was curious, so he asked. Although Lao Hei didn't talk much, he didn't hide the summer solstice, he only said that he had seen people roast when he went to the western grassland, and he also learned from people.

"This sheep is good, our sheep has a smell, this one has no smell, and it is serious on the big meadow outside the border. Lao Hei judged very professionally, and when he said this, he was quite nostalgic.

Xia Zhi knew that Lao Hei had a lot of experience when he was young, but unfortunately he didn't like to talk about it.

Tian Fugui and Sun Si'er also came soon, and as soon as they came, the Xia family became even more lively. Old man Xia first talked about Layue and Qian Yue's marriage, Tian Fugui and Sun Si'er were busy saying hello to Old Man Xia and the old man of the Qian family, and the two also said that they didn't expect that the first person in the Xia family to marry would be Layue.

"Layue is still young, so I'm not in a hurry to get married. This is my anxious temperament, and I am afraid that if I say it too late, I will let others snatch it away, so I will sue my old brother and settle it first. The old man of the Qian family said with a smile.

These words are very flattering to Old Man Xia. The so-called high-rise marrying a woman and bowing her head to marry a woman is also this truth. When getting married, the man will generally lower his posture.

Old Man Xia was happy in his heart, so he praised Qian Yuelai to everyone again. Qian Yuelai can be regarded as officially knowing Tian Fugui and Sun Si'er.

The house is lively, and the yard is even more lively. When the aroma of barbecue gradually came out, the big and small radish heads of the Xia family surrounded Lao Hei and the barbecue oven.

Lao Hei couldn't be busy alone, Uncle Xia San, Qian Yuelai, and Xia Qiao took turns to help, and Xiao Shu'er and Xia Zhu were also on the side to help turn the meat skewers.

When the meat is roasted, it is sent to the upper room. There was only one table on the kang in the east house, and Xia Zhi, Xia Qiao and the little radish heads were not on the table, and they didn't want to eat other dishes, so the roast leg of lamb and skewers were enough for them to eat. You can just put the little black fish on hold and eat it around the barbecue oven, but Mrs. Xia was afraid that they would choke on the wind, so she put another table in the west room of the upper room for them to eat in the house.

There are many people who eat, but more things to prepare. After eating for a while, Xia Zhi went to call Sun Lan'er, and then called Sun Xiu'er and Mrs. Wu's two granddaughters. It's not a formal treat, it's like a nice little girl getting together for a snack.

The aroma of barbecue wafted far away, and children from the village probed their brains at the door of Xia's house one after another. Xiao Heiyuer is the child king of Daxingzhuang, and many children are his subordinates, although he always goes to Fucheng for a while, but this does not affect his status as the child king.

The little brothers didn't dare to come into the yard, but when the little black fish saw it, they generously took a handful of meat skewers and went out to share them with the big guys. Xia Zhi expressed his support for this. She deliberately prepared a lot of extra meat today, just to take this layer into account. There are those who are good with Xiao Shu'er, and the summer solstice also lets Xiao Shu'er go out to share meat skewers for his friends to eat.

"Do they all like to eat?" Then Xia Solstice also asked Little Black Fish and Little Tree.

The little black fish and the little tree both nodded, saying that the big guys love to eat.

"Sixteen, the one we bake is better than the one in Fucheng. "The little black fish eats small~ with an oily mouth, and his meat skewers are deliberately spicy.

Xia Zhi believes in the judgment of the little black fish in eating. The little black fish has a cat tongue and is a natural gourmet. Of course, she also thinks that the meat skewers made by the seasoning are particularly delicious.

"Sixteen, we'll eat like this in the future. Before this meal was finished, the little black fish thought of the next meal.

"Uh-huh. Xiao Shu'er didn't raise his head when he ate, but he didn't forget to echo the little black fish. As soon as Xia Solstice came back, his food immediately increased I don't know how much, and the days with his sister were simply too happy.

The children are happy to eat here, and the old man Xia is also going well. He told Tian Fugui and Sun Si'er through the words. These two are well-informed and well-informed people, and they don't need to be too thorough with Old Man Xia, they will understand. Both of them also told Old Man Xia to rest assured.

Here, Mrs. Wu's two granddaughters came, and Mrs. Xia invited Mrs. Wu again. The two discussed it privately, and Mrs. Wu agreed without hesitation.

The meal was eaten late, and everyone dispersed happily.

Xia Zhi also ate two frozen pears in the backyard, and then went back to the front yard to rest.

After breakfast the next day, the old man of the Qian family and Qian Yuelai said goodbye and left. Old Man Xia didn't keep them, and the grandparents and grandchildren were in a hurry to go back, and they wanted to prepare for coming to Xia's house.

And the Xia family also has to make some preparations.

After sending off the ancestors and grandchildren of the Qian family, everyone in the Xia family gathered in the upper room of the backyard to discuss the matter of going to the door to prepare for a banquet. Prepare a banquet for a treat, that is, to receive gifts.

Old Man Xia already had an idea in his heart about this matter. However, he still put on a posture of discussing with everyone.

“…… It's still early to get married in the lunar month, and now it's time to settle down first. When you come to the house in the month, you want to visit the door, which is to value us and value the wax moon. But he still meant not to accept the gift, that is, not to set up a banquet. "No one will give the letter, just sit at two tables for our own family. Wait for another two years and then do a good job for Layue. ”

When he said this, Uncle Xia San and Aunt Xia San had no opinion.

"Even if none of us give letters or accept gifts, I guess someone will still come. "The summer solstice said. If you have to come to the door, then you can't drive people away.

Old Man Xia also understands this truth, so he and the big guy will calculate how many people can come at that time.

"With our own family, we have to prepare at least four tables. Mrs. Xia said in the end.

"Then prepare four tables. Old Man Xia nodded, "Let's prepare it ourselves, or ask someone to prepare it." ”

"Please, prepare something better. Xia Zhi said, "I'll go and tell Shopkeeper Li to invite a cook from his Juxian Restaurant, and we'll just prepare to help with the cook." ”

"Hey, I'm going to invite Juxian's chef......" Old Man Xia was taken aback, he didn't expect Xia Zhi to plan to do this. "This ......"

Isn't that too grand?

Not only did Old Man Xia think so, but everyone in the Xia family also thought so.

"It's just a door, if our own family can't be busy, just invite the sixth child. Uncle Xia said hurriedly. He said that the sixth is a self-taught cook, and usually the sixth child is usually invited to hold a banquet in these ten miles and eight villages.

"Our family hasn't done anything for years, so if you want to invite it, please do it. Xia Zhi told everyone that although this matter was handed over to him, "I gave the cook's money to celebrate Layue." ”

She said this happily, and things were done beautifully. Old Man Xia knew that Xia Zhi was not bad for these money, and what he was most happy to see was that the family helped each other in harmony, so he said a few words that were too wasteful, Xia Zhi insisted, and he nodded and agreed.

Third Uncle Xia's family was overjoyed, and Second Uncle Xia was a little stunned when they watched from the side. Second Uncle Xia saw the opportunity, and mentioned Xia Zhu's matter to Old Man Xia again.

"Dad, Layue is a daughter-in-law for others, and our Erzhu is a daughter-in-law, or, while it's lively, let's also do the Erzhu's business......" Then he also glanced at Xia Solstice quickly.

Cousin ~ sister is so generous to the summer solstice, so the cousin marries, the summer solstice can only give more, not less.
