Chapter 52: Consultation

Meng Ge spent an afternoon hiding all the valuables, and then he was much more relieved. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

In troubled times, when it is time to take precautions, you naturally cannot be negligent.

In the evening, with his two younger brothers having a simple dinner, Meng Ge took advantage of the fact that the sky was not yet dark and went to Tang Lizheng's house to discuss the matter of joining the family.

The so-called entry meal is actually to invite a meal to a respected person in the village when you settle in the village to show respect.

It also told the people in the village that this family has become a member of the village, and they will help each other in the future.

Meng Ge discussed with Tang Lizheng's youngest son-in-law, Liang Qinglong, for a while, and decided to buy a pig in the village and slaughter it himself.

When there is a surplus, let Meng Ge bring it back to make bacon.

As for chickens, ducks, fish or something, I don't force it. Meng Ge asked if he could sell ten chickens from the village, and when the time came, it would be stewed into a big pot of chicken and mushroom soup, one on one table and one pot, which was actually quite good.

"If you only have ten, you can find it. It's just that most of them are old hens and baby roosters. Liang Qinglong pondered for a while and said.

"What about the fish? I saw that the river in the village was quite wide, and there were small fish swimming around in it, so I wondered if I could catch big fish. Meng Ge believes that the fish and shrimp produced by the rivers in the mountains must be delicious.

"Fish are there, and it's not hard to catch. It's just these fish, it's so fishy, people don't like to eat it very much. "Liang Qinglong does not advocate fishing.

Meng Ge thought about it, the current seasoning is relatively simple, and the ancients did not know how to remove the fish, so the fish made is really not good.

"It's okay, I know how to make the fish less fishy. It's just that I'm afraid that the person who eats the fish won't spit out the bones and get stuck in the throat. Mongo thought about it again.

Liang Qinglong heard that Meng Ge had a way to get rid of the fishy smell, so he thought that it was also very good to serve this fish on the table.

"Little brother Yu Fei, there is a kind of fish in this river, there are no scales, the whole is slippery, and there are not many bone spurs on the body, just that one backbone. It's just that the earthy smell of the fish is too strong. Liang Qinglong said.

The fish described by Liang Qinglong is not what the catfish looks like. Meng Ge thought that there were really not many bones in the fish, so he asked him to catch a few first, and she tried to do it.

"If I can't get rid of the earthy smell, then we don't want this fish." Mongo propped his chin and thought about what else he hadn't thought of.

"Little brother, I think this bite of pig can cook a lot of dishes. Add the stewed chicken, and the fish you mentioned, it's very tough. Tang Simei on the side pinched Liang Qinglong's waist and signaled him not to go too far.

Tang Lizheng didn't say anything, always kept his head down, and looked thoughtful.

Meng Ge looked at Fourth Sister Tang, who was a little stunned, and said with a smile: "Fourth Sister, that vegetarian dish is pork stewed Chinese cabbage, and stewed radish with big bones." When the time comes, those individuals will leave more meat on the meat bones. ”

Tang Simei saw that Meng Ge was asking for her opinion, so she was a little flattered and said: "Don't use radish, it's best to stew meat bones with sauerkraut." The radish is cut into shreds, fried in lard and stir-fried. ”

Meng Ge thought about it for a while, so he asked again: "What about the staple food?" Do you want to steam steamed buns? Or steamed rice? ”

"Steam a few pots of steamed buns, and serve two pots of rice. If you don't have enough to eat, stick the bread. Liang Qinglong raised his voice on the side.

Meng Ge looked at Liang Qinglong, whose cheeks were slightly red with excitement, and suddenly felt that he was a pig to be slaughtered.

"After steaming steamed buns, what kind of white rice is steamed and what kind of cake is pasted? Let's boil a big pot of porridge. If it's not enough, it depends on the situation to boil porridge. Tang Lizheng frowned and glared at Liang Qinglong.

Tang Simei also glanced at Liang Qinglong with disgust, and said to Meng Ge apologetically: "Steamed buns, just steamed steamed buns with sorghum noodles, mixed with some white noodles." Rice is also sorghum rice. As for porridge, let's use rice. ”

Tang Li seemed to inadvertently glance at Tang Simei, who was speaking, and lowered his head with his eyelids drooping. It was Liang Qinglong, and the smile on his face didn't seem to be very good.

When Tang Simei talked about sorghum rice, she weakly lowered her voice, and when she got to the back, it was almost like babbling.

If Meng Ge hadn't been listening attentively to Tang Simei's words, I was afraid that I really wouldn't have been able to hear what she was talking about.

"Steamed buns, just half sorghum flour and half white flour. There is no need to cook sorghum rice, and two large pots of white rice porridge can be boiled directly. "Meng Ge has already thought about this stubble, and it was just a temptation just now.

"Well, that's how it goes. Now the world is not good, and life is not easy. It's good to be able to eat steamed buns. What's more, there is also the white rice porridge. Tang Lizheng also smiled.

Meng Ge checked the color and found that the smile was a little vain and did not reach the bottom of his eyes. I'm afraid that I am not very satisfied with this arrangement.

"Fourth brother-in-law, can you buy dozens of eggs or duck eggs from the village? I'm going to wrap some egg dumplings, which can be used as a staple food and as a dish, which is good. Meng Ge asked as if unintentionally.

Before Meng Ge could say this, Tang Li raised his lowered eyes and looked at Meng Ge's gaze, with a hint of sincerity.

Needless to say, Liang Qinglong's facial features were squeezed together with a smile on his long and somewhat narrow face.

"It's done, why can't it be. If you want to buy two or three hundred eggs, the village can make them up. Liang Qinglong's voice brought out a hint of brightness.

Meng Ge sighed inwardly. This world is really chaotic, and I really don't know what kind of people are trustworthy.

But the smile on Meng Ge's face was still the same, and he said, "Then buy a hundred eggs." If there is any leftover egg dumplings, they are all fried. ”

Several people discussed it again, and then the main dish was given. The rest is nothing more than drinks or something.

"There is a brewer in the village, and his family still has stock, so he doesn't need to go out and buy it. As for the return gift to everyone, those sweets and snacks have to be purchased. Liang Qinglong moved his buttocks and moved his position to make his waist straighter.

"That's right, those return gifts can't be too rough, you have to buy some good ones. I think, in addition to snacks and sugar, each family will give another pound of meat. Tang Li was clasping his hands and raising his eyelids.

Tang Simei listened to Tang Lizheng's words, and wanted to interject a little, but in the end, Liang Qinglong was restrained by a blink.

Meng Ge really didn't want to dwell on these things anymore, so he quickly finished talking about everything. In the end, the number of people invited was determined, and there were eighty-three.

plus Tang Lizheng's family, Meng Ge and the three of them, as well as the people who were invited to help with the cooking, were just enough for a hundred people.

After a few more calculations, Meng Ge took out ten taels of silver, only said that he would make up more and less, and then said goodbye and went home to rest.
