Chapter 232: Your Guest

At the beginning of the second day, the Qiduo family got up early again and began to boil hot water in a cauldron.

It was still a little dark, and lanterns were hung in the courtyard, which shone as bright as day, so that it was convenient to do things.

Tan Dejin had already driven the ox cart to the next village to pick up the butcher to come and kill the pigs.

If you kill pigs during the New Year's holidays, you have to invite the whole village to eat pig-killing rice.

But the Qiduo family is doing a happy event, and they are too busy, so this pig killing meal is exempt.

However, although the whole village is not invited, the more important ones in the village, and those who are relatively close, are still ready to invite them to come and sit, like Patriarch Tan, Zheng Wanru, and the chief of the security must be invited, and Old Man Tan and Tan Decai are them, needless to say.

There is also Tan Dama's family who helps a lot on weekdays, and naturally it is indispensable, like now, his wife is helping to light the fire under the stove, and the eldest daughter-in-law Wang is helping to kill chickens and ducks with his two daughters.

In addition to the three of them, Wu and Sizao are also helping, there are a lot of chickens and ducks, especially ducks, it is not easy to pluck out the hair, the more people the better.

Zhao commanded on the side, and after a while, he pointed at Wu and shouted, "Third daughter-in-law, keep your duck head low, be careful not to splash blood out and get dirty." After a while, he said to Wang, "His eldest sister-in-law, the two chickens in the basin over there are almost soaked, so quickly bring them over and pluck their feathers, and the skin will be scalded after a while." ”

Seven flowers are preparing the ingredients for making white breight, and these ducks have to be made into braised ducks.

Listening to Zhao's shouting in his ears, the corners of his lips couldn't help curling, such Zhao is actually like a grandmother.

Erlang, Sanlang, and Shiro were not idle over there, they were young and strong, and they were favored by the butcher and were busy pointing them around.

Soon. The pig hair faded. Hung up the long wooden ladder against it. Waiting for the butcher's next move.

And Tan Debao was busy working at the Moon Gate.

This side of the Moon Gate was originally used to tie horses, but later Tan Dejin's family surrounded a yard on the back door and let the horses go there, and this side was vacant again.

Tomorrow's wedding banquet will be held in the front yard, but the kitchen in the front yard is not enough, and many dishes need to be served from the backyard to the front yard, and the food from the moon is undoubtedly the most convenient recently.

Therefore, now Tan Debao has to take a step out.

Tan Dama took his two sons to help on the side.

After working so busy for more than an hour. The sun had risen, shining brightly in the sky above the small courtyard of Qiduo's family, and the people who had been busy all morning finally sat down at the table.

The real pig-killing rice is eaten at noon, and breakfast is a big bowl of steaming pork noodles per person.

In addition to the noodles, there are also white flour steamed buns and seven special shrimp pastes, which are used to dip the steamed buns and eat them deliciously.

"Let's eat a little bit for breakfast, and let's eat something good at noon." Qiduo said to everyone with a smile.

"That's good enough, how much better." Tan Dama was honest and immediately answered.

In fact, for the average person, being able to eat meat is the best food.

"There were braised pork ribs at noon. Braised pig's trotters, liver tip. Stir-fried kidney flowers, dried vegetables and fat intestines, and pig blood tofu soup to drink, by the way, there are also chicken offal pot boys, hehe. Qiduo smiled and reported the name of the dish.

These things won't be needed at tomorrow's banquet, and if they are distributed to everyone, they will not be enough, so they will simply be made into dishes and let everyone taste them together.

"Seventh sister, hearing you say this, I'd better not eat this breakfast." Saburo said with a smile.

"For what?" Jiro didn't understand what he meant.

"I'll save my stomach for lunch." Saburo smiled and narrowed his eyes.

"Ha Lu Ha." Everyone laughed happily.

"Just your kid's gluttony, eat quickly, there is still a lot of work to be done after eating." Zhao also pursed his lips and smiled, he always felt that there was something missing in his home, but now he realized that he was missing this warm and joyful atmosphere.

After everyone finished breakfast while talking and laughing, they were busy again.

The chef also came, the cook's surname was Fang, thirty-five or sixteen years old, dressed in white clothes and pants with blue background, smooth clothes, hair combed neatly, and looked very neat.

Qiduo took her to see the ingredients that were ready.

The kitchen was handed over to Qiduo to be in charge of, and no one in the family was more proficient in eating.

Chef Fang has to make almost all the dishes today, some of them are half-cooked, and some of them are cooked directly, and they will be ready when it is hot.

After asking Qiduo which people came to help, Chef Fang arranged for everyone to work, each performing their duties, some chopping meat, some pounding meat, some choosing vegetables, some washing vegetables, and some cutting vegetables.

Chef Fang tied a clean apron by herself, wrapped her hair with a headscarf, and began to work.

Seeing that everyone was busy in an orderly manner, Qiduo secretly bowed her head, this Fang Chef acted like her appearance, clean and neat.

She summoned Liuju and told Chef Fang that if something was missing, just tell Liuju that it was.

Then Seven Flowers went to prepare the dishes to be eaten for lunch.

The big stove at the door of the kitchen stews fragrant bone broth, and then put some pig's blood and tofu in the soup, and sprinkle some green shallots, which is not only beautiful, but also delicious and more nutritious.

With Sister-in-law Li on the side, Qiduo quickly made the dishes to be eaten at noon, and each dish was divided into two portions, one for each table.

Fragrant and crispy sweet and sour pork ribs, braised pork trotters with sticky mouth, spicy and enjoyable dry pot chicken offal, and delicious pork blood tofu soup...... Everyone ate with relish, and they couldn't wait to lick their tongues.

Everyone said that this dish was delicious, and it was the most delicious meal they had ever tasted.

Qiduo and Sister-in-law Li look at each other and are praised by others, which is always pleasant.

After lunch, I was the busiest, with fried balls, braised pork, and stewed hooves......

The kitchen here of Qiduo's family is not enough, so I have to go to the front yard.

"Auntie, I'll help you go to the front yard to fry the balls." Wu took the initiative to ask.

Well, it wasn't Qiduo's careful eyes, she really saw a strange brilliance in Wu's eyes.

"Sanniang, I go to the front yard to marinate duck, the balls and braised pork need Aunt Fang to master the heat, or it's more convenient to be together. By the way, the hooves are stewing, and Lao Sanniang will help take a look. Qiduo denied Wu's request.

When Wu wanted to say something, he was secretly pinched by Zhao's arm, and then pulled out.

"Third daughter-in-law, you give me some peace, if something ugly happens, see how I clean you up." Walking to no one's place, Zhao reprimanded Wu in a low voice.

"Mother, look at what you said, I have a good heart." Wu cried out for himself.

In fact, what the idea is, she knows in her heart.

"Phew, as soon as your tail is cocked, I know what kind of fart you want to fart, and you want to hide it from me. You're not just trying to take advantage of it. By then, these balls will be fried, and it won't be enough for you to eat, don't embarrass me. Zhao scolded disdainfully.

Wu's face flushed, and when he wanted to refute, Zhao said again, "Tell me, you have helped me to do things well in the past two days, if something goes wrong, our old Tan family will lose face, and Erlang's family affairs will not be done." ”

The Kang family gave her a gift, and she was embarrassed to let the Kang family see the joke tomorrow.

In the final analysis, she wanted to leave a good impression on the Kang family, so that the Kang family would not want to see her, which would be a big loss.

As Old Man Tan said, she must have a good relationship with the Kang family.

Wu pursed his lips, not understanding how Zhao's attitude had changed.

However, thinking that Erlang was going to get married next month, she immediately withered, she knew that Zhao's temper, if she really offended Zhao, there would be no good fruit to eat.

Wu had no choice but to put away that little dirty worry and cheer up to help with the work.

Suddenly, her eyes moved, and she saw the oncoming Liuju, and hurriedly pulled her, "Liuju, what did your second uncle do yesterday?" ”

After Tan Decai went home last night, she asked for a long time, but he didn't tell her what happened, only told her that Old Man Tan had given a gag order, and if anyone said it, he would break his legs.

But where could this sentence stop her gossiping heart, her heart was as uncomfortable as a cat scratched, and she especially wanted to know what happened to Lu Dao.

Liuju raised his eyes to look at her and smiled, "Sanniang, you have to ask the second uncle, where do I know how to do a little child." ”

Then winked mischievously at her, and then went back to work.

"You...... Little fox. Wu looked at Liuju's back and scolded in annoyance.

But I had to give up.

There are many people to do things, and when they are busy with the lights, the dishes to be served tomorrow are basically ready, except for those stir-fried dishes, these dishes only need to be heated before being served.

On the second day, Xu instructed everyone in the family to put on new clothes.

The Kang family is also coming today, in addition to the three members of the Kang family, there are also Kang Jin's two aunts and an aunt.

They were treated as honored guests by the Xu family and specially entertained in the backyard.

Kang Jin's aunt and aunt had never seen Erxia, and when they saw it this time, they were all amazed, calling Mrs. Kang so blessed, how could she find such an excellent daughter-in-law, and there was jealousy in her tone.

"Hehe, who gave me a good life, there is such a good sister." Mrs. Kang was also not modest, pulled Xu's arm, and smiled a little proudly.

"Look at her, look at her so beautiful, it's really eye-popping to look at." Aunt Kang Jin pointed at Mrs. Kang.

"But it's not, no wonder I noticed a few more wrinkles on her face recently, and she smiled a lot." Second Aunt Kang Jin said, after finishing speaking, she pursed her lips and smiled.

When Mrs. Kang heard this, she quickly touched her face with her hand, "Ah, there are many wrinkles?" Where, why didn't I find out? ”

"Poof!" Seeing her like this, Kang Jin's two aunts and aunts were happy.

Only then did Mrs. Kang realize that they were teasing her, and laughed at them.

There was laughter in the room.

Seeing the harmonious relationship between Mrs. Kang and them, the Xu family was very pleased, such a family is suitable for Erxia.

There are ten tables in the front yard, and the villagers have come in one after another, found a place to sit down, and the table has not been opened for the time being, but there are snacks such as melon seeds and candy on each table, so that everyone can relax first.

Before the banquet began, a carriage came in a hurry and stopped steadily in front of the gate of Qiduo's courtyard.

Get out of the car with two beautiful boys.

It was Wen Xiuyi and Xu Youxuan. (To be continued......)
