Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Patriarch
Mu Ye actually didn't play much with his little sister before, because the previous Mu Lan was raised by Xiao Zhao's family a little submissive, but the new Mu Lan became a little willful, but for Mu Ye, this little naughty is his favorite, compared to the girl who cries at every turn, of course, the girl who can be used to play is much cuter.
The Shen family who went back couldn't be idle, and at noon the clan elders and the village chief were coming, and this lunch still had to be taken care of.
Entertaining ordinary people in the countryside is just a glass of wine and a good dish, but Shen and Liu thought that they would need the help of these people to move next, and it would be better to leave a good impression first.
The big meat dishes include braised pheasant, stir-fried rabbit, sake button pork, sweet and sour pork ribs, vegetarian is the fresher small green vegetables, etc., the soup is crucian carp soup, stewed white, sprinkled with some green onions looks appetizing.
The smell wafting from the yard caused the neighbors to twitch their noses.
Mu Lan and Mu Cheng also worked in the kitchen, although their skills were also good, but they couldn't control this relatively large table for the time being, but Shen also let the two of them play freely and made a dessert after dinner - strawberry pancake.
This dessert was not so much Mu Lan came up with it, but it was something she had eaten in her previous life, and she imagined that Mu Lan had restored this dessert to 70%. Because the ingredients for this dessert are simple: flour, cream, white sugar and strawberries.
These ingredients are very common, the cream is Mu Lan to pay the price of two strawberry class halberds in advance, and ask his little brother Mu Ye to help beat it with egg whites, strawberries are simple whole strawberry jam made in the previous peak season, sweet, the taste after being frozen with deep well water, really praised.
However, this success is also due to Mu Yi's help to build a miniature stove, and then with the help of his ability to make a small pan with a diameter of no more than 20 cm, with the help of this small pot, the previously slightly refrigerated batter made of eggs, sugar and flour is fried into pancake skin, layer by layer on the pancake skin with cream and strawberries, and finally the finished several medium-sized strawberry pancakes are put into a deep well to cool.
Looking at the finished product made by Mu Lan, the others, especially Mu Ye, were very surprised, because they looked very good.
It's just that Mu Lan said that the taste is better after this cooling, otherwise Zhao Mu Ye means to eat one first and try the taste.
Because his cousin was too eager, Mu Lan couldn't, and in the end, he asked his eldest brother Mu Yuan to suppress him and barely keep the fruits of his hard work, otherwise these things might be destroyed by him before people came.
Just after eleven o'clock, the village chief Mu Changfeng came over with the clan elder Mu Xianren, and there were several older people of the same clan, the average age of these old people is definitely more than 90 years old (the average age of people in this world is about 90 years old), and the clan elder is already more than 100 years old.
After the clan elders came, the old man Mu brought the group of people from the Xiao Zhao clan to the East Courtyard. Seeing the belated group of Terran elders, he knocked on his crutches heavily, "The five babies of the Mu family, we all arrived on time with such old men and old ladies, why did you come so late when you are not yet sixty years old?" ”
Don't blame the clan elders and the old people present for being angry, it's really that the old man really doesn't look like a father.
Although there is a stepmother and a stepfather, it is too much for his two sons to care about it at all.
The clan elder has been persuaded many times on this matter, if it weren't for the fact that Old Man Mu's father and himself are cousins, who would be too lazy to bother with this tongue.
Now Mu Li and Mu Yi ask for ****** no one seems to be too much, what have Old Man Mu and Xiao Zhao done over the years, and the people in the village know this in their hearts!
Seeing that the clan elder was angry, Xiao Zhao's heart was stunned, no wonder the others were just punished by the clan elder into the ancestral hall before, but the shadow was too big for Xiao Zhao's family, and today, Old Man Mu and they came so late was also proposed by Mu Jian, saying that it was to go later to kill the prestige of those people in the East Courtyard.
But I didn't want to steal chickens and make, but I committed it on the old man of the clan, and the expressions of the other people were a little wrong.
Mu Jian's public work in the town is also graded every year by the village chief and clan elders, so he couldn't be offended, so he hurriedly went up to apologize: "Clan elders, village chiefs, cousins and ancestors, don't you think you didn't notify the specific time!" And it's late to start dinner here, so my dad thought about coming over early as if he was urging, so he came late! ”
Mu Jian's seemingly explained that he was actually directing the anger of the clan elders to the side of the people in the East Courtyard. But is it possible to get him happy here, of course, no.
When Liu heard this, he knew that Mu Jian had something to say, and he stuck a knife in his back!
Liu's temper was a little anxious but not stupid, "Yo, look at what the third brother said, why did you say that the meal would be late, before my Ah Cheng and your second brother's Lan Lan didn't catch up when they were preparing three meals in the big kitchen, not to mention that today I and your second sister-in-law personally cooked, and there were some distinguished guests, so it couldn't be too late, right?" ”
Liu kicked the 'ball' back and made another stab by the way. Xiao Zhao and Qian's days before were not too comfortable, the laundry and cooking were the two children here, who in this village didn't know about it!
The faces of several people present darkened even more when they heard this.
The eldest of these two children is only ten years old this year, and the younger is only eight years old, and it has been rumored that Xiao Zhao's family treats these two harshly, and they still don't believe it when they are old, but now their mothers have said so, so can there be a fake.
Seeing that the atmosphere on both sides was wrong, Mu Tian Mu Xin intuitively knew that it was not good for his family, Mu Tian had already begun to be sensible after all, and when he saw that the situation was wrong, he deliberately interjected because of his young age: "Auntie, where are Ah Cheng and Lan Lan!" Ah Xin and I went to play with them! ”
At this time, Mu Lan and Mu Cheng happened to walk to the door, and when they heard Mu Tian's statement, Mu Lan pulled the corners of her mouth: It's not that a family doesn't enter the door, this statement is really true, and this Mu Tian's ability to lie is also easy to come by! Looking for her to play with Wood Orange? Hehe, when Mu Tian was in the old yard before, Mu Tian didn't say a few words to them from beginning to end, and Mu Xin rarely even called her sister, and often called her by name.
"Grandma, is Grandpa Eminem here! We've all been waiting so long! "Xiao'er, you have to agree to use me as a shield. The little devil in Mu Lan's heart was flapping his wings.
Mu Lan pulled Mu Cheng and rushed into the lobby and shouted, Mu Shoude and Mu Yuan by the door grabbed the two of them, while Mu Ye showed an expression that seemed to be smiling but not smiling.
I thought he didn't see it, before Mu Tian spoke, these two came over slowly, and his sister shouted just now, she really has talent! Not bad!
Mu Lan and Mu Cheng, who were being pulled, both showed surprised expressions when they saw the people in the house, and it was debatable whether this expression was true or not.
Mu Lan was about to speak, Mu Ye walked over from the door and pulled Mu Lan, interrupting Mu Lan who was about to speak, and Mu Ye, who was facing away from everyone, quietly winked at Mu Lan.
This little action was not seen by Mu Cheng, because she happened to feel that her eldest brother Mu Shoude was there. Mu Lan, who saw Mu Ye blinking, silently suppressed his doubts.
