Everyone in the front yard ate and drank again, and Ai Qiaoqiao was called by Ma Shi to "help" from time to time, so Zhang Wu had to go back first.

Suddenly there was a sound of carriage outside the courtyard gate, and everyone looked up, only to see a middle-aged man getting down from the carriage, and when he entered the door, he smiled and congratulated Ai Mingshan.

Ai Mingshan hurriedly got up and returned the salute, "It turned out to be Steward Liu of Deyue Tower." ”

Ai Yonggui and Ai Tiancheng's eldest son, Ai Daquan, also got up to greet them.

Ai Qiaoqiao peeked over and was surprised to see that Steward Liu of Deyue Tower was actually the man who had been entangled with the Qiu clan in the back warehouse before.

Frightened, she immediately retracted her head.

Seeing her like this, Ma Shi cursed in a low voice, "Something that can't be put on the table." ”

Ai Qiaoqiao muttered in her heart: You can be on the stage, and your son's head is covered with green clouds.

Liu Guan greeted Ai Mingshan in advance, and said hello to Ai Yonggui.

Ai Yonggui's expression was complicated, and he returned the salute.

Steward Liu said with a smile, "Our shopkeeper heard that Yonggui got married, and specially asked me to send a few jars of good wine. ”

As he spoke, the men in the carriage moved in a few jars of wine covered with red silk.

The people who ate wine in the courtyard looked at the old wine jar and praised it, "Deyue Tower is the atmosphere." ”

Seeing that the shopkeeper of Yuelou sent something to support the scene, Ai Mingshan showed a relieved and proud smile on his face, and invited Steward Liu to sit down.

Ai Yonggui accompanied him and frequently persuaded him to drink.

Ai Qiaoqiao noticed that her uncle's son Ai Daquan couldn't come forward at all, Steward Liu only talked to Ai Yonggui, and Qiu's hinted several times that his son stepped forward to speak, but Ai Daquan was a little bit like his father, and he was too practical to speak, and he didn't look at others' eyes, so he didn't answer the phone several times.

Qiu's eyes glared angrily, and Ai Daquan also blushed anxiously.

When Ai Qiaoqiao came over to add dishes to everyone, I heard Steward Liu talking to Ai Yonggui about the world's freshest cooking competition.

She couldn't help but remember that when she talked to Ai Mingshan before, he also mentioned the first freshness in the world.

Because she had stayed at the table for a longer time, Ai Yonggui raised his eyes and glanced at her vigilantly.

Ai Qiaoqiao lowered her head and pretended not to know, turned around and added food to the table next to her.

As soon as she turned around, she heard Ai Yonggui behind her say: "Since the shopkeeper is in a hurry, then I will go back to Deyue Tower with you today." ”

"How can this work, you are happy today, how can you snub the bride." Steward Liu persuaded.

"It's still important to focus on the big things." Ai Yonggui said seriously, "Dad, you think so too, right?" ”

Ai Mingshan groaned slightly.

Ai Yonggui and the Fang clan are not really newly married, and the reason for doing this is just to fulfill the reputation of the Fang clan, and besides, their children are so old......

Ai Mingshan nodded, "Since the shopkeeper of Deyue Building can't do without you, you can go." ”

Ai Yonggui showed a smile on his face, and drank a few more drinks with Steward Liu, Steward Liu got up to say goodbye, and Ai Yonggui also followed him.

Qiu stabbed his son in a hurry.

Ai Daquan stepped forward and said, "Steward Liu, I'm ...... I'm going back too......"

Steward Liu looked back at Ai Daquan, and his gaze fell on Qiu's as if nothing, "What about you...... Just stay at home for now, there are a few new chores in the kitchen recently, I don't need you for the time being, and you will come back when we are busy. ”

Hearing this, the Qiu clan was taken aback, "Deyue Lou, do you want us to complete it?" ”

Steward Liu seemed to smile, "How come." ”

"Then how can you ......" Qiu's was anxious, even if he was doing chores in Deyue Building, Ai Daquan could get thirty big money a month, which was much better than doing farm work at home.

"Daquan is a real child, and besides, Deyuelou has recruited a few more miscellaneous people recently, and there are a lot of people, so let Daquan go over when he's busy."

Qiu bit his lip and stopped talking.

Ai Qiaoqiao hid on the side for a while to look at Steward Liu, and then looked at Qiu's face for a while, and then looked at her uncle Ai Tiancheng's sincere and honest appearance, as well as Ai Daquan's blank expression, Ai Qiaoqiao sighed deeply.

Looks like there's a drama in there.

The bridegroom and officials were gone, and everyone could no longer rely on the courtyard to eat and drink, and the banquet dispersed just after noon.

Ma urged Qiu and Fang to remove the uneaten "hard goods" from the table.

The so-called hard-headed goods refer to those big fish and meat, which are delicious and durable on the table.

It's a pity that when there is a banquet in the countryside, everyone not only eats it in their mouths, but also carries it with them when they leave, so there are not many "hard-headed goods" left on the table.

The most left is coleslaw.

Ma Shi took a large basin, poured all the meat and vegetables together, brought it into the kitchen, and found a lid to fasten it.

These meat dishes should not be eaten indiscriminately, and some should be saved for every stir-fry.

"Qiaoqiao has also been busy for a day, so let's eat here at night." Mount Emin Road.

Before Ai Qiaoqiao could speak, Ma Shi said: "The divine doctor still lives with her, if she stays, who will cook for the divine doctor." ”

"Then get her some, and save her from going back and firing again." Mount Emin Road.

Ma Shi immediately straightened his face, didn't know what to say, and turned into the kitchen.

Ai Qiaoqiao smiled at Ai Mingshan, "Forget it, master, I'll go back and make it, the divine doctor is not used to eating this." ”

Ai Mingshan sighed, "I know it's not easy for you and your mother, so I'll separate you from each other...... I owe you something. ”

Ai Qiaoqiao smiled indifferently, "As long as my milk can be comfortable, it's better to separate us and live alone." ”

"You're a good person, just like your father." Ai Mingshan sighed heavily.

Ai Qiaoqiao didn't take anything, and returned to the old house empty-handed.

In the courtyard, Ye Liyan was curiously checking the sweet potato starch she was drying on the ground.

After a few days of drying, the starch has formed into a piece of dry powder, which becomes a powder when you hold it by hand.

"This is the slurry you made?" Ye Liyan said curiously.

"yes, would you like to try it?" Ai Qiaoqiao grinned, "Use it to thicken, and the taste of the dishes made is different." ”

Ye Li's eyes flashed, "What is Qiaoqiao going to do again?" ”

Ai Qiaoqiao took some sweet potato starch and put it into the kitchen.

Today, she has been helping out in Lao Ai's compound, so there is nothing left at home.

There was still most of the wild boar meat in the kitchen from Zhang Wu's house, and Ai Qiaoqiao rummaged for a while, taking out some mountain treasures that Zhang Wu gave her a while ago.

It was the wild fungus that Zhang Wu found in the mountains, dried and dried, although there were not many of them, but on the table of countrymen like them, this was a very precious ingredient.

Ordinary people will sell this kind of ingredient if they find it in the mountains, but Zhang Wu knew that Ai Qiaoqiao was good at cooking, so he deliberately left it for her.

Ai Qiaoqiao soaked the dried fungus in water, took a piece of pork, cut it into thin strips, and then took some pickled peppers from the pickle jar, and also cut it into thin strips.

Turning around, she wanted to check how the fungus was soaking, and suddenly felt that something was wrong.

I saw Ye Liyan standing at the door, his hands in his wide sleeves, as if looking at her leisurely.

"Brother Night, let's go back to the house first, and I'll send it over when I'm ready."

Ye Liyan stood still without moving, "You don't have to worry about me, I'll watch for a while." ”

Ai Qiaoqiao was dumbfounded.

Take a look...... What to see?

Watch her cook?

It is said that a gentleman is far away from cooking, especially with an identity like him, standing at the door of the kitchen looks particularly awkward.

But Ai Qiaoqiao couldn't get rid of him, so he had to stand there and watch himself cook.

Ye Liyan looked at her serious and focused silhouette, the oil smoke in the pot rose, Ai Qiaoqiao dodged back slightly, and her little face shrouded in heat looked extremely ruddy.

Ye Liyan actually saw God.
