Chapter 118: Housewarming Banquet
Of course, no problem is best.
The tables, chairs and space in the new house have already been ventilated, and while Luo Mingyu is resting, they also sent a wedding card to the whole village and held a lively housewarming banquet.
Luo Pearl didn't want to do it in a big way, she wanted to stay together as a family, and just have a lively meal, she didn't have a good impression of those villagers, but she couldn't stand Grandma Qin's soft grinding and hard bubbles.
Early in the morning, the villagers gather in twos and threes, some with bowls and some with stools, the men do some work of pasting couplets and worshipping the gods, and the women gather around the well to do cleaning.
Luo Pearl is in charge of the kitchen, and in the morning she first makes steamed buns and all kinds of colorful buns, and when the women of each family arrive with their children, everyone will hold two hot ones in their hands to fill their stomachs.
The table was full of fruit and sweets, and it didn't matter who the children were hungry for, and it didn't matter if they grabbed a handful or something.
For today, Luo Pearl also specially asked the master of the butcher stall in the town to slaughter three pigs, plus some chicken, duck and fish.
At noon, there are a total of eight dishes, namely: cold pork head meat, red oil ear slices, sweet and sour loin, boiled pork slices, back to the pot meat, stewed soybeans with pig's trotters, steamed fish, white-cut chicken, plus some scattered vegetables and snacks, and the tables are all full.
In the afternoon, when everyone had packed up everything and dispersed, Luo Pearl pulled a piece of pork for the women and men who helped each family, and those small snacks were also allowed to be taken by the children, and even the remaining pork liver and lean meat were boiled into porridge, and the family took a big spoonful for them to take home to taste.
"Hey, don't say it, this Luo Pearl has changed more than a little since she woke up last time......"
"Look at this meat, it's really not ambiguous at all, if we hadn't listened to that Liu Sun's at the beginning, maybe the days are ...... now"
“……”
The villagers had eaten and drunk enough, and they all ran home, and the women gathered under the big tree at the entrance of the village, and the parents chatted for a short time.
Luo Pearl and the others didn't know what they were thinking, and everyone was tired enough.
It was already noon when Cen Shen heard the news record, so he took people to drive the carriage down to Hexi Village after some preparation.
He pulled three whole wagons over, and lest he call another carriage, lest he call another carriage, but sat down with the coachman in front of him.
"This, how can there be three carriages in this good place, it can't be that something bad has happened......"
As the carriage passed in front of them, it did not stop to greet them, but moved steadily forward.
The curious crowd followed in twos and threes, and it was not until they stopped at the door of Luo Zhuzhu's house that they showed a frightened expression.
Luo Pearl shouldn't have offended any big shots, right?
It's no wonder that they think that way, although neither Hexi Village nor Qixing Town is too poor, but there are still a few people who can afford to use three carriages at once.
Luo Mingyu and his friends were originally running around, and when they saw the carriage driving in the direction of their door, they immediately ran back, no matter how their friends shouted, they didn't stop.
"Lord Prefectural?" Luo Zhuzhu, who heard the voice, slowly came out, her eyes full of doubts, "Why are you here?" ”
"No, your housewarming banquet, I, as a friend, should always come and give a gift." Cen Shen smiled wryly, and then instructed the catchers to unload their things.
Luo Zhuzhu's forehead was sweating, and she was a little confused by his overtures, and instinctively didn't want to accept it.
When Wen Hong jumped down from the other carriage, he opened his mouth to break the embarrassment between the two people, "These are the intentions of the county magistrate, you can't let us pull things over and pull them back, right?" How faceless is this? ”
Seeing Luo Zhuzhu's hesitation, he took two more steps forward and spoke slowly again, "If you really feel embarrassed, pay more attention to the affairs of the store, it can be regarded as a waste of the county commander's hard work." ”
The villagers looked at the fishing around them, and saw the slightly flattering appearance of the two of them towards Luo Pearl, and they were all surprised.
"Could it be that the county order?"
"That's not it, the last time I came to find Village Chief Liu......"
“……”
The villagers, you said a word, and soon there was an instant silence, and Qin An stood silently behind Luo Zhu, forming a state of protection.
Although his body is not yet fully developed now, it is no problem to barely stand up.
"How? Are you alright? ”
Seeing that Luo Pearl welcomed the county order in, Wen Hong deliberately took two steps behind and asked.
Qin An's eyes darkened, she only nodded, and did not respond, the scene of the conversation between the two people was glimpsed by her with the corner of her eye, and she silently doubted in her heart.
"You see, everyone has a chance to climb the county order, why don't you go and have more contact with people when you were asked to do it!"
"I heard, now Luo Pearl has two shops in Qixing Town, a real store, if you don't change your name or change your surname, if you have half of her ability, our mother won't have such a hard time in a few days......"
“……”
Listening to the gossip of the villagers outside, Jian Liushi was angry, she stomped her feet hard, and her eyes were full of indignation.
After scolding Jian Qing, she changed the topic and began to change objects again.
"Nalo pearls aren't a good one either! This time, the housewarming banquet did not bring our whole family to sit in the town, let us sit with the villagers! I don't take you as the village chief seriously at all! ”
In her scolding, Jian Qing clenched her fists and her eyes were scarlet.
He didn't understand Jian Liu's words, but the county order was so easy to follow? He came to the door several times with the gift, and he couldn't even see a shadow!
Even if he met him on the road, looking at the fast catchers around him, he didn't have the cheekiness to say hello!
It's all to blame on Luo Zhuzhu, if she sent someone to call me over and introduced me to the county magistrate, how could I, the village chief, be so aggrieved.
"Sneeze ......"
Luo Zhuzhu, who was scolded, sniffed suddenly, sniffed, and felt a little dizzy, but her back was dragged by a pair of thick hands.
"Are you alright?" Qin An's face changed slightly, and she asked, she was stunned, quickly withdrew her hand, and responded with two words.
"It's fine."
Originally, he was accompanying guests in the hall, and because he was worried that she would not be able to do it alone, he came out to take a look, but now he saw that her face was a little pale, as if it was a prelude to illness, and he couldn't help but be a little worried.
"Otherwise, you can rest for a while, and I'll do it."
