On the fifth day of the first lunar month, Qiao's old Han family married a little daughter-in-law at the foot of the mountain opposite the Qinghe River, and invited Master Jiang and them to help organize a banquet.

The wedding banquet is the first-class banquet in the banquet, and the host family is usually willing to talk about pomp and circumstance to save face for themselves.

However, this Qiao family is not a wealthy family, and I heard that in order to marry a daughter-in-law, they borrowed a lot of money. The bride price was pieced together, and even the furniture was borrowed from other families.

But even so, half of the people in the village were invited to marry a good daughter-in-law for their son.

There were many people looking lively, and Master Qiao felt that he had a special face on his face, and he originally wanted to set up a flowing water seat, but it was estimated that this flowing water seat was too expensive, so he had to give up. Invited a drummer and rented a red sedan chair, Qiao Er couldn't ride a horse, so he had to sit on a donkey, led by someone, and circled both sides of the Qinghe River.

Among them, there are many voices like this: "Qiao Laohan's family marrying a second daughter-in-law is still so lively, should their family really make money?" Why is there no movement? ”

Someone next to him immediately said: "Who knows, but their family has no officials, no businessmen, just a tenant farmer, where is there any way to get money." I'm just afraid that it's a swollen face and a fat man. ”

"That's really interesting, marrying a daughter-in-law owes a lot of debt, and you don't have to pay it back. These days are getting poorer and poorer, what is the meaning? ”

Chef Jiang took Yunzhu and Feng Bai to cook, but Chef Jiang was very dissatisfied with this business and sulked in the kitchen. Seeing that there was something wrong with this, Feng Bai quietly said to Yunzhu: "It looks like he is about to explode, I don't know who will provoke him, I can't eat and walk around." ”

Yunzhu said: "It seems that we all have to be careful. ”

Feng Bai was still busy chopping vegetables, and Yun Zhu was in a hurry to wash the dishes and vegetables. The well water that just came up was still a little warm, otherwise after a while, my hands would be as cold as carrots.

Master Jiang sat on the meadow and smoked a dry cigarette leisurely. Yunzhu didn't dare to come forward to provoke him, thinking that it must be that the unit price was not negotiated, and he was a little unhappy. Look at these dishes again, they are all vegetarian and less meat, and even peanuts are reluctant to use them well, but I don't know how many years they have been put away, and some of them are still moldy, and I don't know if they will have an accident.

Each was busy with their own work, and no one spoke for a while. The courtyard outside was still quiet at the moment, Yun Zhu had almost washed the dishes, and went to see if Feng Bai's had anything to do to help.

Feng Bai said, "You can help me cut this taro into pieces first." ”

Yun Zhu said yes, and then put away the cutting board and kitchen knife.

Feng Bai saw that there was white smoke in the steamer, and wondered if the fire was too big, so he said that he would ask Master Jiang, and when he looked back, there were still people on the meadow, and they had long since disappeared.

Feng Bai and Yun Zhu said: "Song Niangzi, Master Jiang was still sitting here just now, did you see where he went?" ”

Yunzhu said: "He was sitting there just now, maybe he went somewhere else." ”

Feng Bai asked the woman who burned the fire, but the woman did not know. Feng Bai faintly felt that something was wrong, so he instructed Yunzhu: "Song Niangzi is busy first, I'll go find out." ”

Yun Zhu didn't take it seriously: "Second aunt is nervous, maybe Master Jiang will come over in a while." Let's get things ready first. ”

Feng Bai still said, "I'll go look for it." ”

Feng Bai searched everywhere but didn't see Master Jiang's figure, thinking that it wouldn't be, right? Master Jiang has never done this before, could it be that Master Jiang suddenly picked on his son?

Feng Bai was anxious, the reason why she would follow Master Jiang to cook with others was not because Master Jiang was her brother-in-law, and her sister was not in good health, and the family had a daughter and a son, and the son was studying in the county town. The daughter is married, and she just wants to help their family.

She searched inside and out, but she still couldn't see Master Jiang, and she was even more anxious, what should I do? Could it be that he thinks that the salary given by the Qiao family is not good, so he doesn't want to do it? But what were the remaining three women going to do with the thirty tables of the feast?

Feng Bai ran back to the kitchen panting, and Yun Zhu had already slaughtered the white chicken.

"Song Niangzi, I can't find Master Jiang everywhere, what should I do now?"

Yun Zhu was dumbfounded, and hurriedly asked, "Where will Master Jiang go?" ”

"I don't know, there's never been anything like this before. I searched all over and couldn't find him. I wonder if I slipped away on purpose. ”

"Slip away?" Yunzhu didn't think it was right, this was an order from Master Jiang, how could he slip away, and how to explain to the master's family for a while.

Feng Bai said: "I can't wait, Song Niangzi, you can take charge of the spoon." ”

Although Yunzhu is confident in cooking, she has to prepare a capacity of thirty tables, not three people, and it is the first time to say that it is inevitable that she will not have much confidence.

"So much, I'm afraid I can't do it."

Feng Bai said: "You first get the mixed vegetables, the steamed vegetables are ready-made, and the rest is stir-fried vegetables, and I will look for them." It's too tricky for him to just leave. ”

I had no choice but to bite the bullet.

She was in a hurry to prepare the spices, and because of her psychological weakness, her hands holding the spoon were trembling. Feng Bai continued to look for Master Jiang.

The woman who burned the fire also looked at Yunzhu, and her expression seemed to say, "Can you do it?" ”

Yunzhu doesn't have a helper, so it's inevitably a little difficult to do. I finally brought out the seasoning to mix the white meat, and there was a big pot of soup.

When she was so busy that she was dizzy, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Qiao family came in, she looked around, but she didn't see Master Jiang, only Song Yunzhu was busy there. The eldest daughter-in-law of the Qiao family was a little unhappy, so she asked, "What about Master Jiang?" ”

Yunzhu hurriedly said: "Master Jiang has something to go out and will come back in a while." ”

The eldest daughter-in-law of the Qiao family stared at Yunzhu again, she was not very relieved that Yunzhu was doing this, and frowned and asked, "Have you washed your hands clean?" Don't put vinegar as soy sauce. Really, on a good day, how could I call you over. "Qiao's daughter-in-law looks at Yunzhu like her, like an ominous thing.

Yun Zhu was not annoyed, but said lightly: "I have been following Master Jiang for so long, and others have responded quite well." I haven't seen so many things. ”

Qiao's eldest daughter-in-law was choked and didn't know what to say, anyway, she hated this woman, and after looking around, she urged Yunzhu not to be lazy and to do things quickly. It's like a master. In the end, like a victorious rooster, he strode out. Even Yunzhu didn't understand where this woman's superiority felt in the face of her.

When she put the meat slices into the big wooden basin and was about to mix, she found that the seasoning seemed to be running out, so she had to quickly rematch.

The woman who burned the fire quietly asked Yunzhu at this moment: "You have a holiday with their eldest daughter-in-law?" ”

Yunzhu said: "I have nothing to do with her, I don't even know what she looks like." ”
