Chapter Twenty-Eight: In the Treat
In modern times, there are range hoods, and you can wear cooler ones in summer, but don't even think about it here, in this era of strict etiquette, accidentally showing your arms may be said to be a loss of women's morality, let alone wearing modern cool summer clothes.
In the past, even if she cooked, she only cooked a small amount of food, enough for her and the master to eat, and when the senior brothers and sisters did not leave, the senior sister was cooking for her.
Later, after the senior brothers and sisters left, she and the master were the two of them, and the cooking was simple and small, even if there was a little junior brother later, the most was to cook more paste and steam an egg custard from time to time, and the little junior brother usually ate milk powder.
Of course, as a foodie who loves to enjoy food, cooking food is also a must, but it is all a small portion, and there is a good kitchen assistant such as a range hood, and it is nothing.
Today, I suddenly made such a large portion of dishes at once, and my tired hands are sour, not to mention, after all, it is a person who practices martial arts, which can be suffered, but this oil smoke person is another way of saying it.
Anyway, Mei Liu'er didn't want to move now, but fortunately, the daughters-in-law present were all good at the house, and they could handle the food, so Mei Liu'er handed over the next stir-fry work and sat aside to gasp.
Now that Bai Xiang has been stewed in broth, Mei Liuer also added shredded ginger to it, although the crushed ginger pieces had been added to it when the meat was cooked before, but the taste was gone when the meat was cooked.
Two pork ribs are also stewed with radish, a big pot full, ginger pieces are also added to the ribs to stew together, the taste is very good, if there are chili peppers, burn a few paste chili peppers (dried chili peppers cooked with fire) into the taste is more beautiful, and then add some pepper or peppercorns into the taste is not to mention, but unfortunately there are no of these three.
Mei Liu'er didn't interfere with the other dishes anymore, everyone is an expert in cooking, she Mei Liu'er just knows more spices and methods than others, and now she doesn't want to stand in front of the stove to smell the fumes.
The people who came to help today are all diligent daughters-in-law, and the dishes have been prepared in a short time, just waiting for someone to come and use it for the banquet.
The tables and benches were set up in the courtyard of the public house outside the stove room by Wang Erlang and Zhao Shiyang Sanzhu and others, and today Mei Liuer invited the whole village to eat, and they all spontaneously came to help.
The tables, chairs and benches in the public house are all complete, and these tables, chairs and benches are all made up by the people of the village, but they are quite neat and tidy.
It's almost time, and the people of the village are coming.
However, although Mei Liu'er said that the whole family came, and everyone agreed at that time, but when it came to this day, everyone came with the men and elders of the family with the children, and some families simply came with two old people or men in charge with children, and very few families came.
When the villagers came, they consciously gathered together to find a seat to sit down, the older children gathered together with their friends to sit down, and the younger ones were held in the arms of their elders.
When the crowd was almost over, the table was full, and the food began to be served.
Wang Erlang, Zhao Shiyang, Sanzhu, Xiao Zhong and other men from the stove room, with trays to serve dishes one by one, the first meat dishes are braised pork stewed potatoes, back to the pot meat, radish stewed pork ribs, stewed chicken and stewed duck, and then vegetarian dishes.
During the banquet, everyone looked at the meat served on the table, and they were greatly shocked, this is basically meat dishes, and it will cost a lot of money to buy this table of dishes.
At first, everyone was a little restrained and didn't dare to really let go of eating, but gradually the attraction of meat overtook the reserve, and they all ate it in large gulps.
A piece of meat and a mouthful of dry rice mixed with bud rice and white rice are a perfect match, plus the vegetarian dishes are fried with plenty of lard, and each one tastes only one to describe the 'fragrant'.
Everyone who came to the banquet would think in their hearts, this is probably the time to catch up with the restaurant.
Mei Liu'er invited the villagers to eat the banquet this time, and the people who helped couldn't go to the table to eat, but the meals were kept.
Mei Liu'er was toasted by the village chief Wang Boss with a table by table, the wine is real wine, but Wang Boss told Mei Liu'er what it meant, in fact, the most important thing is to take Mei Liu'er to meet people, and let the people in the village know Mei Liu'er.
Boss Wang took Mei Liu'er to toast the wine in the house, the house was the older generation in the village, Mei Liu'er toasted one by one, Mei Liu'er who sat down only saw the big bell father Lao Zhongtou, and the other Mei Liu'er had not seen it, although he had been here for many days.
Among these people are Zhao Shi's father Zhao Changhe, Yang Sanzhu's father Yang Huaimu and so on.
When Boss Wang took Mei Liu'er to the courtyard, as soon as he stepped out of the threshold, Boss Wang's face changed.
Mei Liu'er followed behind Boss Wang, and didn't see him change his face, but saw him pause before continuing to walk, Mei Liu'er didn't know why, but she still walked out behind the village chief Boss Wang.
When she stepped out of the threshold to see the situation in the courtyard clearly, she finally knew why Boss Wang's footsteps had stopped just now.
As soon as you step out of the threshold, you can look at the 'battle situation' in the entire courtyard, and you will find that there are several tables with a person holding a large bowl and desperately pulling the dishes on the table into the bowl, and I don't know if he (she) has finished eating, or is he going to take it home for supper?
There were already people crying on the children's side, and if nothing else, they went to a bowl for the meat and vegetables on the table!
Boss Wang's face couldn't be darker, this is all a very person, and he doesn't care about the occasion.
I saw that Boss Wang was not in a hurry to take Mei Liu'er to recognize people, he stood there and glanced around, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this is the family again!
As the saying goes, 'one kind of rice raises a hundred kinds of people', which is what it looks like now.
Naturally, there is also that 'rat' in such a big village, and even if you drag your family to bring your mouth, everyone even brings a big bowl!
If you think that this is similar to many people in modern times who go out to eat and prepare their own dishes and chopsticks, for their own health or to reduce pollution, etc., then you are very wrong.
People came with such a big bowl, in fact, just to pull back all the dishes on the table!
Little Wolf Village is a big village with 100 households, and people say, 'When the forest is big, there are all kinds of birds', which is not bad at all.
Although the Little Wolf Village is not rich, it is backed by a mountain, and there is a small river flowing in the village, as long as you are diligent, you will always be hungry, and occasionally you can have a small surplus.
But the word 'but' was coined to be used by people, so it is necessary to add the sentence 'but there are always some lazy things to do'.
PS: Guys Xiaoyu asks for tickets! Liu'er's tickets are so bleak, and their clicks, recommendations, collections, and long comments are the driving force for Liu'er's growth!
