Chapter 9: Eating and Drinking

Feng Yuzhen looked at her little daughter's coquettish appearance, and couldn't help laughing and scolding: "Look at the gluttonous girl, it's not easy to find your in-laws in the future." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info Okay, let's eat pancakes tonight and stew two catties of meat! ā€

Qin Xiaoyu was happy, sat down and began to cut paper, trying to make more money, this place is much more backward than many places in the country, she remembers the last life, watching the kind of TV series in the seventies and eighties, there are electric lights in it. It's 80 years now, and kerosene lamps are still lit in this place, and it is estimated that it will lag behind the mainland in other aspects.

Feng Yuzhen baked two mixtures of cornmeal and white flour in the evening, and stewed braised pork with two radishes in it.

During the meal, Qin Lang said happily: "It would be beautiful if you could eat meat every day at this time." ā€

Qin Xiaoyu found that after a meal, Qin Zhenhua and Feng Yuhua only ate radishes, not a piece of meat, and couldn't help but persuade: "Dad, Mom, you eat with meat, so much." ā€

Feng Yuzhen said with a smile: "I think this radish stew is delicious, better than meat." Qin Zhenhua also nodded yes.

Qin Xiaoyu's nose was sour, which was obviously reluctant to eat.

The next day, the Spring Festival couplets were sold for more than ten yuan, and Qin Xiaoyu bought another five catties of pork and two frozen fish, ready to eat for the New Year.

When he got home, he only gave ten yuan to Qin Zhenhua, Qin Zhenhua accepted five yuan, and asked the three brothers and sisters to divide the remaining five yuan as pocket money.

Qin Lang thought about it, took one piece for himself, and gave two yuan to each of his two sisters, saying that he didn't go to school, didn't buy a notebook pen, and couldn't spend any money.

Qin Xiaoyu pinched four five-cent coins in his hand, and he was so excited that he finally saved the first sum of money to find his mother.

On the twenty-sixth day of the year, because he was going to a banquet, the night before, Qin Xiaoyu cut the window grilles and wrote thirty couplets for Qin Lang and Qin Xiaoxia to sell, after all, in the past few days, the business cannot be left behind.

The fifth surname is Li, because he is ranked fifth, so he is called Li Laowu.

Today is the marriage of Li Feng, the third daughter of his family, to the custodian of the county's supply and marketing cooperative. Even if you go to the city to eat commercial grain. Lao Li and his family can't wait for the whole town to know that his daughter is married to a good family. Twenty tables were opened, which is not such a big scene in the village even if you marry a daughter-in-law.

The countryside likes to hold weddings in Layue, things are not easy to spoil, and the remaining meat is enough for the New Year.

When Qin Zhenhua and his family brought Qin Xiaoyu here, the plastic shed in the courtyard was full of people, and the dishes, chopsticks, tables, chairs and benches were all gathered by the neighbors, and there were not so many. You can only open ten tables at a time, and when you finish eating, you can eat again in the second batch.

Qin Zhenhua went to sit at the men's table, Feng Yuzhen led Qin Xiaoyu to the women's table and sat down, Qin Xiaoyu looked at it, and sure enough, Zhang Lao's third daughter-in-law led the three daughters to sit down, and they opened their posture and prepared to eat.

In order to save trouble, Zhang Laosan directly named the three girls Da Ya, Er Ya, and Sanya.

Because of the last chicken incident, Feng Yuzhen didn't pay attention to Zhang Lao's third daughter-in-law, Jia Chunmei, after sitting down. Instead, he talked to Liu Kar-wai's mother Li Xiuzhi next to him.

Li Xiuzhi looked at Qin Xiaoyu and said to Feng Yuhua: "Your Xiaoyu is really getting more and more rare." ā€

Qin Xiaoyu smiled, shouted to the eldest lady and didn't speak again.

There are melon seeds, peanuts, and sugar on the table.

I saw Zhang Daya with her hands in the shape of a nail rake, went up and grabbed a large handful of sugar stuffed in her pocket, and stabbed the second girl next to her.

Seeing this, Er Ya and Sanya also grabbed one of them fiercely. There were three or five pieces of candy left on the plate in an instant.

Jia Chunmei didn't see it, Feng Yuhua and Li Xiuzhi couldn't help pouting when they saw this.

In the winter banquet, there are no fresh dishes, that is, cabbage stew, radish stew, braised fish, chicken nuggets stewed potatoes, cold noodles, meat skin jelly, fried tofu with green onions, and a dish is boiled eggs broken into four petals and placed on the plate. There are eight dishes on a table, and the amount is very large, which is also a good table. However, radish stew and cabbage stew have thin slices of meat inside.

As soon as the dish came up, Zhang Daya took half a fish into her bowl with chopsticks. Erya picked up all the meat in the radish stew, and the chopsticks were still rummaging through the plate to find the meat.

Qin Xiaoyu was dumbfounded, it was not easy to eat meat these days, and when the remaining few saw this, they also hurried a big chopstick, a big chopstick to put vegetables in his bowl, Feng Yuzhen dragged Qin Xiaoyu: "Eat quickly, why are you stunned?" ā€

Qin Xiaoyu is really embarrassed to eat like this, just look at what is in front of him, what he is clipping, Si Swenwen's.

Feng Yuzhen was afraid that her daughter would suffer a loss, so she gave Qin Xiaoyu meat one by one, and sighed in her heart, why did this kid dare to be so cowardly!

After eating, you have to quickly give up the table to the next wave of guests.

As soon as Qin Xiaoyu went out of the door, he saw Liu Jiawei standing at the door, carrying a boiling kettle in his hand.

Liu Jiawei saw Qin Xiaoyu and said happily: "Xiaoyu, you also came to the banquet, why didn't I see you just now?" ā€

"I'm sitting at the same table with my mother and my aunt." Qin Xiaoyu pointed to the position where he was sitting just now and said.

"You sit with the big girls, are you full?" Liu Kar-wai asked with concern, these three sisters are well-known in the village and can eat.

"I'm full, so many dishes." Qin Xiaoyu replied with a smile.

"Well, the day after tomorrow, my brother and I will go to the county, will you and Xiaoxia go?" Liu Kar-wai said with some expectation.

"What are you doing in the county?" Qin Xiaoyu also wanted to go to the county to have a look.

"Turn around, the county's last year's goods are more complete than our town's. Let's go together, shall we? Let's go in a carriage. Liu Karwei looked at Qin Xiaoyu with blank eyes, hoping that she would agree.

"Cheng, I'll go home and ask my sister." Qin Xiaoyu nodded and replied.

"Okay, I'll call you the day after tomorrow morning, I'm going to help serve food to the men's table, don't forget." Liu Kar-wai happily ran away.

When the mother and daughter arrived home, the Qin Lang brothers and sisters also returned. Today I sold it for fifteen yuan, and I bought red paper for five yuan. The remaining ten yuan was handed over to Qin Zhenhua.

Qin Xiaoyu asked Qin Lang: "You and Brother Huzi are going to the county the day after tomorrow." ā€

Qin Lang nodded and said happily: "Yes, I heard that the fireworks in the county are cheap, I'll take a look." ā€

"I want to go too, sister, are you going?" Qin Xiaoyu asked Xiao Qin Xia.

"Go, if Xinhua Bookstore is not on holiday, I want to see if there are any review materials." Qin Xiaoxia said happily.

Qin Lang has no opinion: "Okay, you guys can go with me and Huzi the day after tomorrow." ā€

"Tomorrow, we will sell the couplets for another day, and we will not sell them, and it is estimated that there will be fewer people who will buy them in the future." Qin Xiaoyu suggested.

Qin Lang and Qin Xiaoxia naturally agreed, and they had earned dozens of yuan by relying on their sister's craftsmanship in the past few days.

Feng Yuzhen began to say again that the three daughters of Zhang Laosan's family were not interested in the banquet. Look at your three children, how do you think it's good.

The couplet on the twenty-seventh day of the lunar month was bought for twenty yuan, and the three brothers and sisters handed over ten yuan to Qin Zhenhua because they were going to the county, and kept ten yuan.

Qin Zhenhua didn't want to say: "Qin Lang, tomorrow you will lead the two sisters to buy a piece of clothing." "Children don't want to be sensible, but parents are distressed.

Early the next morning, Liu Kar-wai came to call Qin Xiaoyu's three brothers and sisters, and hurried to the town to take a carriage to the county.

The four of them almost trotted all the way to the town, and when they arrived at the place where the carriage was riding, they found that Luo Zhan was also standing there waiting for the carriage.
