Chapter 38: Braised Elbows
"It's been so many years, and I'm used to it." Wang was cutting vegetables, and when he saw Li asking like this, he didn't think much about it, and said casually, "As long as she lives well with my third child in the future, our family will not be able to treat her badly." ”
The custom of Tonghua Village is to welcome relatives after the morning.
Just marry your daughter-in-law before the sun sets.
If the two families are far away, they have to leave in the morning to greet their relatives, and those who are close usually go after lunch.
Most of the relatives and friends who came to congratulate him stayed at the main house for lunch, and then waited for the bride to pass the door, and then went to the new house to see the new daughter-in-law and left.
Now the Wang family and the old lady Yuan Liu are busy with the guests' meals.
Guan Liujin and Pei Chunhua made eight bowls and eight dishes for the bride and groom after the bride passed the door.
The two groups of people each occupied a pot and were busy.
"That's good, a character like the third child of your family, but it's hard to find a lantern in ten miles and eight towns." Li grabbed a handful of firewood and stuffed it into the stove, and said sourly, "Sichuan pepper is also blessed to follow him." ”
When she came, she took a look at Pei Ze, and was surprised to find that what Mrs. Chen and Hua said was true, Pei Ze was indeed very good-looking.
Wang Rong's daughter-in-law Feng was also helping in the stove room, and when she just went out to pour water, she saw flowers pestering Pei Ze at the door to talk, and now she heard Li inquire about Pei Ze, and asked Li quietly like a mirror in her heart: "Sister-in-law of the Hua family, I see that your daughter is not too young, but there is a mother-in-law?" ”
Feng is the niece of Mrs. Yuan, and also the aunt and cousin of Pei Chunshan and Pei Chunhua, who lives in the town with Wang Rong on weekdays and does not often go back to the village.
Not to mention Mrs. Yuan, seeing the Feng family is even closer than seeing Pei Chunhua.
"Not yet...... Li Shi quickly glanced at Feng Shi and said with a smile, "She's only sixteen years old, and she's looking at each other!" ”
"Sixteen?" The corners of Feng's mouth curled slightly, and he said sneeringly, "One year older than Sichuan pepper, this Sichuan pepper is almost round, your daughter doesn't have a mother-in-law yet, oops, it's good to have a mother-in-law!" ”
So, the people of the Hua family relied on the pepper to have no father and no mother, so they sold her like this?
She is also a person with a daughter, and she gets angry when she mentions this stubble.
What a family!
Li was so blocked that he couldn't say a word.
Just a sneer.
"Oh, other people's daughters look like flowers, maybe they can marry a rich man." Although Pei Chunhua didn't see Feng's thoughts, she didn't want the Hua family to run to her parents' house at every turn, and gloated, "Sister-in-law, don't worry, this is called a lot of good things." ”
"Her aunt laughed, what kind of rich man does the farmer marry......" Li heard Pei Chunhua sneering at her, and said unhappily, "Whoever the girl's family marries is the order of the parents, and she has to listen to the elders." ”
She's here to be a guest.
He didn't come to be angry.
"Since the Hua family is so well-behaved, how can the daughter who has been raised be so lively?" Feng Shi sneered, and simply opened the skylight and said brightly, "Just now I saw her pestering the third child at the door to talk, didn't she fall in love with the third child?" ”
The movement in Wang's hand stopped, and he looked at Li suspiciously.
Could it be that the Hua family frequently comes to their house because the flowers have fallen in love with Pei Ze?
Li Shi suddenly felt that the old face was slightly red, and he hurriedly said: "How can there be, it's just talking, the third child is the man of peppercorns and the brother-in-law of flowers!" ”
I hated Feng so much in my heart.
Something, speaking harshly, is not afraid to flash his tongue!
"That's good." Feng Shi glanced at Li, and said, "The pepper has been sold by your family for five years, and now it is finally able to keep the clouds open and see the moon, your family should not think about anything else, if you do too many evils, you will be punished." ”
"Oh, big day, don't talk about that." Mrs. Yuan was the most taboo about these, and was busy stepping forward to play a round, "Don't say a few words, hurry up and cook, the hour is not early, start the banquet early and welcome the relatives early." ”
Then the crowd shut up in amusement.
They brought the prepared meals to the kang and entertained the guests to eat.
Pei Chunhua ran to Pei Man's house with a cigarette and repeatedly instructed Pei Man: "When the bride enters the door for a while, remember to put our things on top of their house, so that you can stop the bride in the future, remember?" ”
The two brothers, Guan Mao and Guan Sheng, were also there.
Seeing her mother say this, she laughed.
"Little bunnies, what are you laughing at?" Pei Chunhua scolded with a smile, "In the future, you will too, you will remember it for me, so that the old lady will worry about you again in the future." ”
"Remember, aunt, you've said it several times." Pei Manle couldn't close his mouth, he had already changed his clothes, and waited to go out to greet his relatives after eating, after Pei Chunhua left, Guan Mao Guan Sheng squeezed his eyebrows and said: "Second brother, you should have been on the top ......"
"Count on you kid to understand!" Pei Man grinned.
The wound on his face wasn't quite healed yet.
It was Pei Chunhua who took Pei Ying's rouge and covered him, so he could barely see it.
After eating, Pei Zecai, surrounded by Guan Mao and Guan Sheng, led the donkey to Yangliu Village to welcome the bride.
Hua Jiao was speechless.
She thought that in ancient times, the brides were all made sedan chairs, why did they still ride donkeys here?
The braised big elbow that has been stewed for more than an hour is bubbling out with aroma, making everyone itchy for a long time, as soon as the pot is opened, a sweet and glutinous and spicy taste rushes to the face, the big elbow in the pot is red and bright, the outside is charred and tender, fat but not greasy, delicious and incomparable, Sheng Mingyan sucked two mouthfuls violently, clapped his hands and said: "This elbow is really amazing, I don't eat anything today, so I gnawed on the elbow." ”
"What? Do you still want to eat it back? Pei Ze's eyes lit up when he saw his elbow, and he quipped, "If you don't say anything, you are only allowed to eat three bites, and you can't take one more bite." ”
Sheng Mingyan laughed: "At this time, it means that there are only three things, that is, you can't eat three elbows in a row." ”
Wang Qi's father and son laughed.
There are a total of six elbows, one on one of the four tables outside, and the remaining two elbows are placed in a large porcelain plate covered with cabbage leaves, placed in the middle of the table, and then accompanied by meat and vegetarian dishes sent from the stove room, which can be described as full of color, flavor and flavor.
Sichuan pepper also felt that this elbow was done exceptionally well.
Although there are not many ingredients, it is better to add sugar, and she has always felt that it is not delicious to make elbows without sugar.
"You've been busy for most of the day, come up and eat together!" Pei Ze saw that the peppercorns were still busy brushing the pot, and said warmly, "There are no outsiders here, so you don't need to pay attention to it so much." ”
"Yes, yes, eat together." Wang Qi nodded again and again, raised his hand and pointed to the open space beside Pei Ze, "Huajiao, you just come up and sit, there is no big or small happy event, we have one more elbow at this table!" ”
"No, let's eat it, I'll just go eat outside." Huajiao was a little embarrassed, she had an awkward relationship with Pei Ze, and she didn't want to be with his friends, the reason why Pei Ze invited her must be because she did this elbow, for her, it is natural to live in someone else's house and do some housework within her ability.
Wang Rong saw that Hua Jiao was uncomfortable, and without saying a word, he got up and went to the kang to call Feng Shi over, and said with a smile: "How can we say that we are also guests, there are female guests here, you are the host, and you are not allowed to accompany you?" ”
"Third daughter-in-law, come up and sit down!" Feng Shi understood, smiled and got on the kang, beckoning to her, "It's the first time we've met!" ”
The pepper is not good and then refuses, and it also follows the kang.
With Feng here, she won't be too embarrassed.
Sheng Mingyan consciously changed positions with Pei Ze, and let Hua Jiao sit between Feng and Pei Ze, he knew that Pei Ze had no intention of Hua Jiao, and he didn't feel anything at first, but now he feels that it is indeed too rare for a daughter-in-law who can make such a good dish, in order to eat elbows often, he immediately decided to match the two, and the more he looked at the little girl, he felt pleasing to the eye.
Feng Shi was originally self-cooked, looked up and down the peppercorns, and said to Pei Ze with a smile: "Third child, the first time I met your daughter-in-law, you didn't recommend me?" ”
