Lu Xiaoyi lit the fire in the stove room on the west side, which is more spacious and mainly responsible for all kinds of stir-fried and cold dishes. Xiao Ding lit the fire in the east stove room, and was mainly responsible for stewing and steaming vegetables.

Yu Liang brought in the chopped dry firewood and put it behind Lu Xiaoyi, the position was not far or close, she could raise her hand, the dry firewood was neither long nor short, she just needed to pick it up and stuff it into the stove. The red tongue of fire floated out, reflecting her face flushed, she had never felt so comfortable burning the fire, just need to add firewood, just poke the dust, glance at the figure of the surplus grain chopping firewood outside, and secretly rejoice that she has picked up the treasure.

Yu Liang put away the last bundle of firewood and asked with a smile: "Do lazy people burn the fire?" ”

Lu Xiaoyi's eyes smiled into a moon, and he whispered, "You are used to it." ”

Yu Liang scratched his head and laughed, "I'll go to the front to help, you be careful of the fire." ”

Lu Xiaoyi nodded, watched him go out of the stove room, and then continued her lazy fire burning method.

There were bursts of laughter from the front yard, and you didn't need to be there to know that there were a lot of guests today. Her grandfather and her father must be busy greeting guests, her mother has just come out of confinement, and her mother's family has to accompany her, not to mention her grandmother, all her thoughts are on her little grandchildren, her uncle and aunt also have to run before and after to help, she and Xiaoding are even more struggling in the stove room, and the family is contributing to the full moon banquet.

Finally, the table began.

The pace of stir-frying after the banquet accelerated, which was not at all what she could cope with with the leisurely smug just now.

The invited country chef had already prepared the dishes, and was stir-frying them one after another, shouting the dishes one after another. and repeatedly told Lu Xiaoyi not to run around, and to obey his command, he said that if the fire is prosperous, she will add more firewood; He said that there was a small fire, and she had to quickly withdraw the burning firewood; If he wanted to say that the fire was out, she would have to quickly suppress the flame with ash.

Ay! Burning a fire is also a technical job, and an eighth-level firemaker like her, braving the scorching heat of midsummer, struggles on the hardest and most tiring front line of the fire, and her stomach is already growling with hunger. I want to find a fat chef to ask for some food pads. Seeing that he was busy like a spinning top, Lu Xiaoyi was embarrassed to speak, so he had to silently wipe the beads of sweat rolling down his forehead and seriously start a fire.

The laughter in the front yard grew louder. The pace in the stove room is also getting faster and faster. The bangs on Lu Xiaoyi's forehead are getting wetter and wetter. The heat of the summer was added to the fire, and she had a feeling of dizziness, and she didn't even know that the surplus grain came into the stove. Until the light in front of him dimmed, and a tall black shadow blocked the light on one side, Lu Xiaoyi looked up mechanically and found that the once thin young man was much stronger, Lu Xiaoyi muttered: "This strong man..."

The rest of the grain didn't wait for her to finish, and stuffed her with a cucumber with well water, which was cold and cold, and must have been pouring for a while, "Eat, relieve the heat." ”

Lu Xiaoyi's hands were dirty, no matter how she took the cucumber and ate it, the eating appearance was very indecent, she didn't care anymore, in front of the people who pampered her, no matter how ugly she looked, it was cute! A cucumber quickly reached the position of shaking hands, and Yu Liang took the initiative to reach out and take away the dirty cucumber butt, and handed another one, two cold cucumbers to the stomach, and the body and mind suddenly relaxed.

The fat chef praised the surplus grain while stir-frying, "Your brother is a good person, and he knows how to send two cucumbers to his sister to eat, why don't you give one to your uncle?" "The fat chef is a foreigner, and he only treats them as brother and sister.

Yu Liang was a little embarrassed, touched his nose, and said to the fat chef: "Wait a minute, I'll bring it to you." ”

The fat chef laughed, "No, no, no, how can you eat less when you are a chef." After speaking, he took a piece of meat out of the pot with chopsticks and tasted it, and boasted: "Wow, my cooking skills are so good!" It's time to get started! ”

Lu Xiaoyi was concentrating on the fire and his vision was blocked by the stove, so he didn't pay attention to the fat chef eating meat, but now he looked at it, pointed at the chopsticks in the fat chef's hand with half of the cucumber in his hand, and shouted: "Ah! Fat uncle, you don't know how to bring me a piece of meat if you steal your mouth, you are too unkind! ”

The fat chef smiled: "How can the little girl talk like this, I am normal to taste salty, not stealing!" ”

For each stir-fried dish, you will sandwich a few pieces of meat to taste salty, and you will be full after a dozen dishes!

Lu Xiaoyi secretly slandered himself: Hmph! What a mouth-stealing king in the guise of a chef! But he muttered: "I knew that I would also learn to cook!" ”

The fat chef looked her up and down, and instead of expressing an opinion, he shouted outside, "Serve!" The three young men who served the dishes came in one after another, all of whom were familiar with the village, and were invited by Lu Zhong to help, including Yang Zhiwen, I saw him holding a large dish with a smile and shouting to the fat chef: "Fat uncle, the steamed vegetables over there are all on board, and you are also the last dish here, right?" ”

The fat chef nodded, "It's gone, it's the last one!" ”

Yang Zhiwen complained: "It's so pitiful to pass the food, you can't eat it when you smell it, you can only swallow saliva!" Then he asked Yu Liang: "Liangzi, why did you come to the stove room?" ”

The rest of the grain did not change color and lied: "I'll help serve the food." ”

"Just together!" Yang Zhiwen walked forward with a large vegetable plate, and Yu Liang turned around and smiled at Xiao Yi, then took two dishes and went out.

While chewing cucumbers, Lu Xiaoyi glanced at the stove and found that there was no leftover food, and said dissatisfiedly: "Fat uncle, why don't you keep some?" ”

"What are you keeping for? Every dish should be full, so that it can be served to the table to save face, right? Don't think that Fat Uncle I'm really a mouthsucker after tasting a few pieces of meat, let me tell you, I'm a well-known country chef! ”

Lu Xiaoyi squinted at him, "You are self-appointed to be famous, right?" ”

The fat chef coughed twice, "To tell you the truth, I don't have a free day all year round, and I go to the village to help people make meals, and the business is very good!" What does this mean, this shows that I am famous! ”

Seeing that the little girl looked not very convinced, the fat chef pointed to the vegetable table and the vegetable basket outside and said: "Look, there are no leftovers, no leftovers, and no wasted seasonings. ”

The fat chef is telling the truth, he is indeed not the kind of cook who spoils things, Lu Xiaoyi finally nodded in admiration and praised: "Fat uncle, you are really a famous chef!" ”

The fat chef raised his head proudly, took down a basket hanging on a high place, and took out a bowl of sesame rice balls that had been fried earlier, "Take it and eat it, you little girls love to eat this." ”

Lu Xiaoyi rolled his eyes secretly, didn't he leave food behind? Isn't it for the sake of the family? What's going on with this bowl of sesame rice balls?

However, for the sake of sesame rice balls, she didn't care about it, and took it with a smile and prepared to go to the east stove room to find Xiao Ding to share it with.

"Help Uncle Fat to publicize in the future!"

Lu Xiaoyi said: "Fat uncle, your cooking skills are so good, you don't need my little girl to promote it for you, as long as the people in the village have eaten the noodles you made, they will give a thumbs up and applaud, and whoever has a happy event in the future will come to you to make the banquet." ”

The fat uncle loved to hear this, and waved his hand at Lu Xiaoyi, "Let's eat!" ”

Lu Xiaoyi went to find Xiao Ding with fried rice balls, and when she walked through the front yard, she was robbed by the young man who was playing, and grabbed a fine light, so angry that she gritted her teeth, and finally sighed with a wry smile, she knew that she would eat one first.

Lu Xiaoyi went to find Xiaoding with an empty bowl, and saw that she was eating a bowl of pork ribs and winter melon soup, Lu Xiaoyi rushed over excitedly, and happened to have an empty bowl in his hand, and he also served one for himself.

"Hehe, eldest sister, let you light the fire here, you have to go over there, starving!"

"Well, next time I have a long memory, I will definitely be guarding the stew."

Xiao Ding didn't believe her, "I know you gave it to me on purpose." ”

Lu Xiaoyi didn't reply, and was sucking a piece of ribs.

Wang Dongmei came into the stove room and said to them: "Go to the front, the fat chef has opened two more tables, and it will be the turn of the helper to eat." ”

"Two more tables? Auntie, the fat uncle won't let me go to the fire again! "Lu Xiaoyi's bowl of pork rib soup hasn't finished yet, can she let her finish it before opening it?

"No need for you, your aunt is going to light the fire, and we can eat it for those of us who help." Wang Dongmei was looking for a pot to hold soup while talking, and Yang Zhiwen also came in and said to Sister Xiaoyi: "Finally it's our turn, you guys hurry up, I'll bring some steamed vegetables." ”

Lu Xiaoyi nodded, reluctant to put down the pork rib soup in his hand, so he went to the front yard with the bowl.

This meal was eaten too late, even if I was hungry and panicked, I didn't have much appetite when I ate it in my mouth, so I picked some of my favorite food, and then I washed and cleaned up, but fortunately, there were many women who helped, plus four aunts, and the cups and plates were quickly cleaned and put neatly.

By the time everything was ready, it was already afternoon.

Qi Shan looked at the sun and said to Lu Zhong: "The hour is not early, we will not bother." ”

Lu Zhong said: "Brother Qi, you see that the sun is still shining, it is better to stay for one more night, and it is best to hurry up tomorrow morning." ”

"It's okay, we can't get sun in the carriage."

Don't you care about the people who drive the car? Lu Zhong glanced at Qi Feng and said with a smile: "I'll give him a straw hat." Then he called Xiao Yi to bring a straw hat.

Qi Shan waved his hand: "Brother Lu doesn't have to worry about it, he is responsible for driving, if he doesn't prepare these shelters in advance, he deserves to be exposed to the sun and rain." After speaking, he beckoned Qi Feng, Xu Wu and Zhang Tieniu back to the city.

When Xiao Yi brought the straw hat, Qi Shan and the others had already left the yard, Lu Xiaoyi chased out, and saw that Qi Feng had already put on a big hat, and there were uneven grass whiskers around him, and the hat was pressed very low, covering his head and shoulders, and he sat firmly on the front of the car with a whip around him like a knight who would know peerless martial arts, and he could kill people at any time.

Lu Xiaoyi approached to take a closer look, felt that the hat was familiar, and asked him: "Brother Feng, where did you get this hat?" ”

"Your grandfather gave it."

No wonder it's so familiar, this is a must-have equipment for my grandfather to go to the field on weekdays.

"He also gave me a thick straw mat and a beautifully handmade coat." Qi Feng pouted at Nunu in the carriage, "The clothes are inside, and I sit on the cushion." ”

Lu Xiaoyi said: "My grandfather is so good to you, you can help you serve the baskets and baskets he consigned to your shop!" ”

"You don't need to say it, I know it in my heart!" After Qi Feng finished speaking, he stopped speaking, and continued to sit still and pretend to be deep.

Lu Xiaoyi rolled his eyes and pretended to be a big-headed ghost! (To be continued.) )
