Chapter 42: Lin Xiujuan's Good Reputation
"Hehe, their family's first sauerkraut fish was learned from my girl. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info" Qi said lightly. Qi Shixin said, I didn't say nonsense, although it was the little girl who went to the restaurant to teach people to cook at that time, but you are willing to press the big girl on that is your business.
"Huh? There's another thing. Everyone thought about it for a while, the sauerkraut only tasted authentic in her family, and it was a little credible to say that this dish was passed down from her family.
"Okay, you're welcome, let's eat more. There are no outsiders here, they are all so reserved and what to do. Qi greeted the neighbors again.
After Lin Yujuan brought food to Lin Yusuo, she and her sister had lunch in the kitchen in a hurry. She thought to herself, no matter how today's meal is over, everyone will slowly know about her sister's cooking skills. But how much help can be made to help her find her in-laws, this is not something that Lin Yujuan can say.
This lunch was a pleasure for both the guests and the hosts. After lunch, Lin Xiujuan and the two sisters made a pot of hot tea for everyone.
"Thank you so much today, big girl, we enjoyed a good day today." The first to speak was Mrs. Zhou.
"It's just that you really don't have to say anything about the craftsmanship of your eldest girl. I've heard my man mention sauerkraut fish before, saying how delicious it is, but I've never eaten it. The one who has no conscience, and he doesn't know how to bring some to his mother-in-law when he goes to the restaurant. "It was the daughter-in-law of the Gu family who said this, and there was less estrangement between people after a meal, so there were not so many scruples about talking.
"Hehe, which man is not like this. He wants to go to the next restaurant outside, and he always thinks about his mother-in-law at home. Others should say that he is afraid of his wife. Mrs. Zhou said with a smile, and as soon as she finished speaking, the women in the room laughed.
As soon as this person is full, he is prone to sleepiness, not to mention that the son held by the eldest daughter-in-law of the Li family is only in his early two years. The little one will be full of food and drink, and will begin to sleep. The daughter-in-law of the Li family couldn't be appeased, so she could only say goodbye to the Qi family and go home. The rest of the people also took their leave. Qi sent the neighbors out of the door all the way before closing the courtyard door and returning to the house. She sat on the stool and collapsed, not as straight as she had just sat on. I poured myself another cup of tea and drank it in one go, and breathed a long sigh of relief:
"Whew, I feel more tired than working in the fields. It was as if I had a string in my heart, for fear that if I said the wrong thing, I would make people laugh. ”
"Mom, aren't you doing a good job? With this first time, I was less nervous in the future. "Lin Yujuan is definitely all kinds of encouragement to the Qi family. She doesn't have much self-confidence, what are you going to say about this is not good, there needs to be improved. That would only make the Qi clan hold back and resist integrating into the life of the town.
"Well, as long as you can find a good in-law for your sister, these are nothing. I just don't know what the effect is, and you still said that you want to invite a matchmaker. I can't believe them, I don't know how many lies I've told to give your sister a long face today. Those matchmakers weren't blowing up the sky by then, and we don't know which one she said was true and which one was false. "The Qi clan has made a lot of progress today, and they all know that they have to treat others with themselves.
"Hehe, Mom, you asked Dad to invite that Chinese grandson to our house for dinner. He has been running for decades in this Qintong town, as well as in the countryside, including the people in these ten miles and eight villages. It's all about being well-informed. Hehe, it is estimated that he can count many people's family backgrounds. Let's see which one is suitable first, and then we can ask him. Lin Yujuan suddenly remembered Lao Sunlai.
"Okay, tell your dad to inquire more outside." As long as Qi Shi thinks that any method is useful, she doesn't mind trying it now.
In the following period, the Qi family successively invited several matchmakers with better reputations in the town to their homes for tea and guests. Gradually, Lin Xiujuan's reputation for literacy spread. And you can go up to the hall and down to the kitchen. The needlework woman is red, and she counts the accounts and looks at the store, that's everything. But these words came out of the mouth of the matchmaker, and the housewives in the town could believe it when they heard this. However, later, it was confirmed from the neighbors of the Lin family that although these words were exaggerated, most of them were still inseparable. Slowly, some people's minds began to come alive, and they began to inquire about Lin Xiujuan's true situation intentionally or unintentionally.
The days flew by, and in a blink of an eye, it was May 22. Tomorrow is the day when the lobby sister recruits her son-in-law. There are not many relatives and friends in the Lin family, and grandpa has cousins on his side, and he didn't communicate with him after his grandfather lost his ancestral business. This is where to ask for the marriage of a granddaughter. The situation at my grandmother's house is similar, although it is only a river away from a dozen miles, but there is not much movement. It's really scared of the couple, the man can't make it, and the woman doesn't plan to. If you have a little money, you will drink wine and eat meat, so it doesn't matter if you have any surplus food tomorrow, and you will never borrow money but never repay it. The juniors have no contact, and when they send away the older generation, it is estimated that this family will be cut off.
And the eldest aunt was raised by her brother when her parents died when she was a child. Therefore, the marriage of the lobby sister is only Uncle Zhang's family, as well as the old man Lin and his wife, the three brothers of the Lin family and the two aunts. And because it is a son-in-law, both men and women have no intention of doing it on a large scale. The two aunts arrived today, so they naturally stopped at Lin Guilu's house. The eldest aunt came with her eldest daughter, and the eldest aunt and eldest cousin couldn't come over together because of something. The little aunt is the whole family coming over this time. Because the kiss is at night, the banquet will be held the next day. So the adults have discussed, they all go to the countryside to help at night, and who has the time to take care of the children when they are busy at night. It's better to stay at Lin Guilu's house in the town to rest, and then pick up the next day for a banquet.
Lin Yukou was naturally taken back by Lin Guilu to attend the wedding. At the same time, he also brought back fifteen taels of silver, and Uncle Gu's words were that ordinary people should use camphor wood and beech wood to make furniture here. It's very good to have five taels of silver to buy wood, and the furniture is made by Lin Yukou herself, so naturally it doesn't cost money. As for the precious wood, you don't have to think about it, this money can be used as a wage. Lin Guilu let Gu Shibo educate him, and he felt wronged in his heart. If you take less money, you are suspected of taking advantage of it, and taking more money makes the master say that he will not plan. Fortunately, Lin Guilu knew that his uncle had good intentions, and his attitude of admitting his mistakes was also very good, and his uncle didn't keep talking to him, so he stopped talking. After saying a few words, they let their father and son come back.
