Chapter 61: A Dinner Treat
"Second brother, hurry up. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info how will this be grinding is not like your style?. Xia Cao found that Xia Maihe, who had always been in a hurry, was a little hesitant, but a little bit of a little daughter-in-law, and couldn't help urging.
Xia Maihe put down the barrel, and said in Xia Cao's ear, "Sister, what if the eldest brother wants to punish us again?" I don't know if my dad came home? Today was the first time he had openly disobeyed his eldest brother, and now that he thought about it, he was in a cold sweat on his back.
"Second brother, you can put a hundred hearts. Big brother, he must be cooking in the kitchen now, and he doesn't have time to pay attention to us. We slipped to our mother's place, and the eldest brother would definitely not punish us in front of our mother. Xia Cao looked at the sky and it should be their eldest brother's time to cook, the eldest brother has always been rigorous, and his daily routine is very regular.
"Where do you two want to slip away?" Xia Qiaomu's voice sounded faintly, intercepting the two people who were tiptoeing towards the main house.
"Big brother, we didn't just finish grinding soybeans, and put the wooden barrel in the house, it's safer." After Xia Cao finished speaking, he pointed to the wooden barrel that Xia Maihe had raised by half a meter. It's really a horse stumbling, why isn't his brother busy in the kitchen at this time.
Seeing that her sister's eyes were rolling straight and her expression was a little decadent, Xia Qiaomu kindly answered for her, "Tonight, Uncle Dashan has a dinner treat." My mother has already gone over to help, and I'll go over together when you two come back. ”
It turned out that in order to thank everyone for going up the mountain to find pear blossoms today, Li Dashan had just bought some meat in the town, slaughtered two chickens, some vegetarian dishes, put together a table, and invited the big guy to eat. Of course, it is impossible to invite the whole village to order this order, but to invite those young people who go to the Devil's Cliff, and there are people who are more likely to make efforts to find people.
When Xia Cao and his three brothers and sisters arrived at Li Dashan, other families in the village had not yet come, and only the Su family and Li Dashan were in the house. Su Shi and Lihua washed vegetables in the yard, Li Dashan and Li Yongkai father and son plucked chicken feathers again, and Aunt Li lit the fire in the kitchen alone.
"Mother, we'll help you." The three of them also joined the vegetable washing team and squatted next to the big wooden basin. To say that there are no varieties of this green vegetable, the greenhouse vegetables are not popular at this time, although it is the south, but it is also some Chinese cabbage, radish, winter melon. Plus some wild vegetables. The freshly planted vegetables have not yet grown.
After washing the greens, wash the dishes and chopsticks. Next, there was nothing to do with Xia Cao in the kitchen, and even Xia Qiaomu was disgusted with his lack of experience, and his cooking skills were not up to par and he rushed out.
The assigned Xia family brothers and sisters, plus Li Yongkai, were granted a new diplomatic mission, knocking on doors and inviting people over for dinner. When Xia Cao and the others walked through the village, night began to fall. returned to Li Dashan's house again, and many people had come one after another.
"Daddy! When did you get back? Xia Cao's sharp eyes found Xia Muhan in the crowd. rushed to the father, and wanted to ask how much Dendrobium sold for and what happened to Yang Jiayang in the end. But looking at the many people around, I didn't say anything.
Instead, Xia Muhan took out a wrapped oiled paper from his sleeve and handed it to Xia Cao. "This is Bai Gongzi knows that you love to eat red date cakes, so he specially asked me to bring some back to you." Xia Muhan lowered his waist and stroked Xia Cao's weed hair and explained.
Unexpectedly, this Bai Jide is quite good at being a person. I don't know if the dendrobium deceived her father that he didn't know herbs and deliberately lowered the price. If you can go back and pull him to cooperate, make a lot of money together.
Before everyone started eating, Xia Cao didn't hide it when she had pastries, so she called the second brother and a few children to the corner and enjoy the dessert before the meal. After eating and wiping his mouth clean, when he returned to the yard again, the dishes were already served and he was ready to eat.
There are only three tables in total, and there are about ten people at one table. The innermost ones are the village chief and Li Genmu, some of the older generation, and Li Dashan, the owner, is also there to accompany him. The next table was about twenty men in the village, and the outermost one was Xia Cao, the Su woman and the child crowded into a table.
There are only five or six dishes on the table, a plate of white-cut chicken, a plate of braised pork, a large bowl of winter melon and chicken soup, two dishes of green vegetables, and a plate of shredded acetate radish. Fortunately, the amount is sufficient, for those people in the village who only eat a meal of meat during the New Year's holidays. Just looking at this plate of chicken and braised pork, I am greedy, no matter what the taste of the roast, as long as it is meat, the big guys love to eat it.
Before the master and elders spoke, the children at Xia Cao's table could only watch and swallow saliva, and could not move chopsticks at will.
"Today, I invite you to come, mainly to thank you for your help today. My Li Dashan is such a girl, thanks to everyone's help, I got it back. Without further ado, I'll give you a glass first. Li Dashan stood up and said. He picked up a small glass, raised his hands, and took a sip of the liquor inside.
The village chief also stood up and took over and said: "We are all one village, how can we see death and not save ourselves, our Taoli Village has always been in trouble, and all sides have supported." The pear blossom is gone, and those of us who are elders are of course obliged to help find it. Looking up and not looking down, everyone has lived here for generations, and there are some bumps and bumps on weekdays, and I hope that the villagers of Taoli Village are living together in harmony. ”
Xia Cao listened, the village chief rose from the pear blossom incident to the height of a village, and he really deserved to be a veteran of dealing with grassroots people's disputes for many years, and he came to the harmonious construction of the village when he opened his mouth, "Okay! What the village chief's grandfather said is so good! Xia Cao couldn't help but applaud.
In exchange, it was not the loud applause of the big guys, but the three tables of people looking at her with surprised eyes, as if they had found something amazing. No matter how thick Xia Cao's skin was, she couldn't withstand the staring of dozens of pairs of eyes, and her face turned slightly red, she didn't expect that there was no custom of applauding the leader in Taoli Village.
"I mean, the village chief's grandfather said it really well, this is not to teach us children to respect their elders and honor the elderly, and we children should not fight. The village chief said a lot of things about how to be a human being, and I was fascinated by them, so I couldn't help but applaud. Xia Cao stumbled to her feet and said, but her kung fu did not fall.
"That's what I'm talking about!" The village chief was obviously very happy to hear the compliment, and didn't care about Xia Cao's interruption just now, and continued, "Dashan, has this pear blossom matter been resolved, and it's not a matter if it hangs like this?" The village chief continued to return to the subject.
The people sitting here, who didn't know before, came out at noon, and everyone also knew that Master Zhang in the town wanted to take pear blossoms as a concubine. They all pricked up their ears and listened to the answers of the parties.
Li Dashan said with a smile: "Li Yuanwai, the big philanthropist in the town, has promised to help push away this family matter, so everyone doesn't have to worry about Pear Blossom anymore." Come on, come on! Let's start eating! With that, he picked up his chopsticks.
The village chief and Li Genmu also echoed and asked everyone to eat, and everyone started to eat. The children at the Xia Cao table didn't care so much, and they all stretched out to the few meat dishes, and the battle was very fierce. Xia Cao only got two pieces, and it was a disc.
After eating, everyone dispersed, and the Xia Cao family, as the hardcore of Li Dashan's family, of course stayed to pack up their things.
