Chapter 55: The Guest

The banquet dishes are agreed upon by Tian and the aunt, and the splendid is built from the side, and all the procurement matters are managed by the aunt, Guan Jie killed pigs and sold pork two years ago to recognize the butcher in the town, and he is responsible for the pig and mutton, and Guan Mu is responsible for finding a good cook who specializes in village banquets, the new house is on fire, and the visitors are mostly village neighbors, the picture is lively and festive, and it is affordable to be satisfied, and it is the best to have a large bowl of wine and large pieces of meat, and it is not as exquisite and flashy as in the city, so the chef level does not need to be too superb, You only need to set up the corresponding dishes with the ingredients provided by the host, so that the guests can eat satisfied and happy.

Although Jinxiu can cook a few good dishes, these days from time to time to learn to cook as an excuse to show her hands, until everyone gives her a thumbs up, but she is not brave enough to take over the banquet kitchen errand, just kidding, Dongshan Village 200 households, if each family comes to one person, only half of them will be full of ten tables, not to mention that most adults in the countryside will bring one or two children, so there will be more tables, plus the relatives from Grandpa Tian's side must be no less than six or seven tables, and the relatives of the Fang family who came with Aunt Tian said that there would be three or four tables, There may be some relatives who only know when they come out, and it is expected that thirty or forty tables of banquets will definitely not be able to run off, and the dishes are required to be large and sumptuous, and no matter how capable Jinxiu is, she can't do it, so she honestly doesn't say a word, and the adults will arrange it.

In this cold winter, the ice and snow cover the earth, the green leafy vegetables can not be found, some of the vegetables that the Guan family originally stored have been eaten almost, and the rest are all wilted, it is estimated that even the wilted cabbage leaves are gone on the twentieth day of the lunar month, and the aunt's family can provide a few large baskets of dried vegetables, dried melons, and dried radish, and brought them in advance.

She also made a lot of dried vegetables and kimchi in the cave, and there is a batch of vegetables waiting to be harvested in the vegetable garden, the climate of the cave, the melons and fruits are ripe and not picked, and it also preserves the zài branches well, even if they are picked, they can keep them fresh for a long time, but Jinxiu thinks that harvesting more stubble is a stubble, even if you don't dare to take it out lightly in winter, you can also make fragrant, sweet and crispy pickles, at least you can retain the freshness of some green leafy vegetables, and when the time comes, go to the county seat and "buy" all these pickles back for the banquetLet the guests have a good time!

It's too late this year, so I'll come up with a greenhouse next winter, and then it's not a strange thing to eat fresh leafy greens in snowy weather!

The three sisters are responsible for preparing the return gift for the guests attending the banquet, that is, wrapping the pre-prepared dim sum with dried lotus leaves or banana leaves, and distributing a copy to the guests when they return home after eating.

These dim sum can be used to produce the grain produced in the cave, grind it into powder and take it out to make zuò, save money and spend money to buy materials, in addition, this day is cold, let everyone eat some Dongtian food containing aura, which can improve immunity and prevent diseases, which is also a good thing.

Don't worry about the rest, there will be a lot of daughters-in-law and aunts in the village to help, set the table and serve the dishes, clean up the dishes and chopsticks, wash and scrub these jobs, there is no need for little girls, they are estimated to be here and there to see, from the side to deliver words, as a little girl for the elderly and children to send a cup of water to add a bowl.

When the Jinxiu family was preparing for the housewarming, on the seventh day of the lunar month, the father and son of the Zhang family in the town, who had dissolved their marriage with Jinxiu, came to Dongshan Village with gifts to visit Feng Jin, the talented master of the Feng family.

At this time, the Feng family was building a house, and the yard was in a mess, because it was a hall house for the ancestors, the old man Feng couldn't help but be anxious, and got the thirty taels of silver given by the Tian family, so he hurriedly prepared materials to rebuild the hall house, in order to have a place to worship the ancestors during the New Year's Festival.

A few craftsmen were busy building the wall, the women and children of the Feng family sat around the open space in front of the kitchen to bask in the sun, Feng Liang, Feng Zaohua and Liu picked some soaked dried vegetables by the way, planning to use them for lunch, Feng Taohua and Feng Liuhua did their embroidery work, taking advantage of the fact that there were still a few market days before the New Year's Festival, they hurriedly made more embroidery, how much money they could sell, and they were not ambiguous about saving their own bodies.

Xiao Liang hugged her daughter in the room and didn't come out, saying that she was accompanying Feng Jin and her son Feng Yuwen to study.

Liu was very dissatisfied with this, and muttered in a low voice, complaining that Xiao Liang was lazy and didn't work, which resonated with Feng Zaohua.

Feng Taohua listened on the side, and by the way, she also mentioned something, saying that the eldest cousin of the Liang family, that is, the eldest brother of the Xiao Liang family, came here two days ago, and when the Xiao Liang family sent her eldest brother out, she secretly stuffed something like silver and took it away!

Feng Liang was annoyed when he heard it: Xiao Liang's ability to marry Feng Jin so decently was all planned by her aunt for her, she had followed Feng Jin to live a comfortable life outside these years, and refused to go back to the old mansion to serve her in-laws, so that's fine, as long as she was obedient, took money home every quarter, and listened to her mother-in-law's arrangement in everything, Feng Liang's would not embarrass her at all. The beginning was quite good, but unexpectedly, in the past two years, Xiao Liang's family has begun to be disobedient, and the money he took home has become less and less, and he has taken it upon himself to send money and gifts to Liang's family to her parents and brothers. You must know that the Liang family is also Feng Liang's maiden family, Feng Liang's three brothers, and an old lady is there, the old lady lives with the eldest brother, Xiao Liang's father is the second brother, usually the New Year is unified by Feng Liang's family to send gifts to his mother's house, it is not Xiao Liang's turn to be troubled, how much should be sent to each family Feng Liang's own arrangement, Xiao Liang's is so alone to send money and things to her own son Lao Tzu and brothers, but the other two families and Liang Lao Niang did not, don't they all come to scold Feng Liang for not being a man?

Feng Liang was about to scold when he was angry, and he didn't care that there were craftsmen working in the yard, so he ran to the window of the east house and roared, and just after a few curses, he heard someone walk into the courtyard and shout loudly:

"Brother Feng! Is Brother Feng at home? ”

Everyone turned their heads to see: a pair of scholarly father and son, Sven is delicate and polite, with very similar facial features and similar heights.

Feng Liang's mother and daughter naturally recognized the Zhang family's father and son, Zhang Lizhou came to be hired, Zhang Ruiwen came to greet the relatives, and later the family failed, Zhang Ruiwen also took several male and female relatives of the Zhang family to ask for back the fifteen taels of silver.

Originally, he didn't want to see the Zhang family, but when he saw that their father and son were each carrying a gift box, Feng Liang greeted him with a smile.

Old Man Feng was still in the room and couldn't get out of the room, Feng Jin heard the voice of his classmate, and hurriedly took Xiao Liang out of the door to meet him.

Zhang Lizhou also understood that the Feng family was building a new house, and after greeting Feng Jin, the two sat down on a temporary stool in the courtyard to talk.

Feng Liuhua peeked at Zhang Ruiwen, who had a delicate face and an indifferent expression, her heart skipped two beats, her face was slightly hot, and she didn't need anyone to urge, she obediently followed Xiao Liang into the kitchen to boil water and make tea for the guests.

Xiao Liang was secretly surprised, Feng Liang looked at Liu Hua'er's eyes and just stuck to Zhang Ruiwen's body, how could he not understand in his heart? I couldn't help but secretly make a small calculation: although the Zhang family is not a rich family in Fangshi Town, it also has more than 20 acres of land, Zhang Lizhou and Feng Jin are Xiucai in the same year, Zhang Ruiwen is the only son in the family, and he was also admitted to Tongsheng, and he will take the Xiucai exam next spring. In the future, they will have to take the exam and become officials......

Zhang Ruiwen has already retired from Jinxiu, although there is a concubine in the family, but it is just a cheap concubine with a girl's head, it doesn't matter at all, if you tell Liu Hua to Zhang Ruiwen, then ...... That's what a talented woman looks like!

The more Feng Liang thought about it, the more he felt good, and he immediately became active, smiling diligently to help Feng Jin greet the guests, and starting a family routine with Zhang Lizhou's father and son.

When Old Man Feng came down from the shelf, the men talked about business solemnly, and the mother and daughter heard it clearly next to them, Feng Liuhua's eyes suddenly turned red, and Feng Liang's face was elongated.

And where did Old Man Feng know the thoughts of Feng Liang and Feng Liuhua? Hearing Zhang Lizhou say that he was willing to marry Feng Jinxiu again for his son Zhang Ruiwen, in order to show his sincerity, the retainer was doubled compared with the first time, that is, thirty taels, Old Man Feng and Feng Jin suddenly became excited, and said yes one after another!

made Feng Liang angry enough, and Feng Liuhua was about to cry: What is so good about Feng Jinxiu? The temper is stubborn and smelly, and they have all withdrawn from their relatives, and it is worth being hired back for thirty taels of silver?

And a while ago, she said that she wanted to find a good family in the town for her, but she didn't come to the door of Feng's house again, I'm afraid it won't work!
