Chapter 183: Banquet Noodles
Hurry up and ask Liu Xiaogong to sit on the surface! ”
Tong Shuangxi didn't dare to let Liu Xiaoshu speak, and hurriedly glanced at his fourth uncle.
The fourth uncle of the Yuan family got Tong Shuangxi's order, and hurriedly pulled Liu Xiaoshu to the courtyard.
The village chief, Li Zheng and some respected old people in the village set up a table alone in the wing room, and Old Man Yuan and Qin Lao Neng were also talking to the guests at the table.
According to his identity, Liu Xiaoshu is a little adult in the palace, and his identity is more valuable than Li Zheng and the village chief.
Li Zheng and a few elders only nodded to Liu Xiaogonggong, and then beckoned him to sit down, but the village chief squeezed past Old Man Yuan and Li Zheng at once, and said enthusiastically in front of Liu Xiaoshu: "Little Master Liu, take a seat!" ”
Ignoring Li Zheng, who was about to sit on the upper seat at this time, he pointed to the position in front of Li Zheng and was about to pull Liu Xiaogonggong over.
Old man Yuan looked at Li Zheng's face was not good, and hurriedly stepped forward and blocked in front of Li Zheng.
"All of you here are elders, and I'll just sit here as a junior!" Liu Xiaoshu ignored the village chief's flattery, and instead sat down in front of Qin Lao Neng.
Old man Yuan and Qin Lao Neng are the guests at the table, and they naturally sit at the next seat, and Liu Xiaogonggong sits in front of Qin Lao Neng, so they are naturally also at the next seat.
Li Zheng and several elders couldn't help but smile when they saw Liu Xiaogonggong like this, and they all felt that Liu Xiaogonggong was an interesting person, and everyone didn't even look at the village chief.
The village chief, who was disgraced, had a good ability, and continued to walk to the position next to Li Zheng and sat down with a smile, regardless of whether the people at the table were waiting to see him or not, he grabbed a handful of melon seeds and started talking.
After Liu Xiaoshu entered the courtyard, the people gathered in front of the door finally dispersed, and Tong Shuangxi hurriedly asked Qiusheng to bring people to the backyard.
Seeing that the guests were almost here, Mrs. Wang also went to the kitchen to spread the word, saying that it was time to open the banquet.
Steward Cai waited for this sentence, only to see her shouting at everyone in the kitchen, "Get ready!" ”
The kitchen was immediately as lively as the hot oil pot, and Mrs. Wang and Qin Wu took Qin Sanmei and Wu Xingzhi, and the three uncles of the Yuan family took their daughters-in-law and daughters-in-law to start serving dishes.
The first to be served on the table are twelve cold dishes, six dishes of meat and vegetables, Cai Steward is the steward from the capital, and the plate is so that people can't bear to put down the chopsticks, it is really beautiful.
By the time all the twelve cold dishes were on the table, the six pots in the backyard kitchen had already begun to stir-fry.
Steward Cai took five kitchen ladies to take charge of the cooking.
"Leek-flavored shredded pork out of the pot!"
"Garlic eggs out of the pan!"
"Spicy soup boiled fish fillet out of the pot!"
"Spicy rabbit meat out of the pot!"
……
Every few minutes, you can hear Steward Cai's high-pitched and enthusiastic voice shouting.
When the twelve hot dishes were served, the cold dishes on the table had just eaten a small half, but the hot dishes were fragrant and attractive, and the people on the table couldn't help but stretch out their chopsticks and put the hot and delicious hot Cai in their mouths.
On weekdays, except for the restaurant, where can I eat such a delicate and delicious stir-fry, until I can't find my tongue.
Usually the people in the village set up a banquet, and only eight bowls of hot and cold dishes, not to mention the cold dishes, the hot dishes are all the old ones, all of them are boiled out of the cauldron, the taste is heavy and salty, although it is also a stomach, but it is only one taste.
After the twelve stir-fry dishes are served, there are eight hard dishes below.
"Mushroom stewed pheasant."
"Beef stew with potatoes."
"Braised pork."
"Spicy fragrant pot."
"Sour soup fillet."
……
As the hard dishes were served, the people at the table began to regret eating too much before, and they were afraid that their stomachs would no longer be able to hold these delicious dishes.
At a table, everyone eats from the beginning to the end, for fear that they will not eat a dish, even if the stomach has been eaten round, the last two dishes of soup must be scooped and tasted.
After all the tables were removed, moon cakes, sugar cakes, pomegranates, persimmons, and sweet pears began to be placed on the table, which were essential foods for August 15.
The people at the table really couldn't eat, only the children, who couldn't resist the temptation of sweets, couldn't help but touch a piece of moon cake in their hands, and ate it in small bites.
Gradually, it was the next evening, like welcoming guests, after the table was over, Mrs. Wang and Tong Shuangxi, Tong Shuangshuang's mother-in-law and grandson stood in front of the door to see the guests leave.
Unlike when he came, when he left, even those yellow-mouthed children said a few auspicious words, thinking that they were specially explained by the adults in the family.
"This is the so-called soft hands and short mouths!"
The fourth uncle of the Yuan family is only a few years older than Qin Ergouzi, and this meeting is like a familiar sight, at this time, the fourth uncle of the Yuan family leaned into Qin Ergouzi's ear and said.
Qin Ergouzi nodded seriously, if anyone invited him to eat such a feast, he was willing to say a few more auspicious words.
Old man Yuan and Qin Lao Neng personally sent Li Zheng and the village chief to the village before giving up, Li Zheng and the village chief were obviously too drunk, one was blushing and arguing with his son about something, but the other was completely different from what he said when he was not drunk, squinting his eyes slightly and not speaking.
Tong Shuangxi, Mrs. Wang, and Tong Shuangshuang also personally sent away the shopkeepers of the dim sum shop in the town.
When the guests were almost gone, Mrs. Wang, Tong Shuangxi, and Tong Shuangshuang's mother-in-law and grandson were a little breathless.
"It's even more tiring than a long day of farm work in the fields!"
Mrs. Wang had never felt so tired in her life, so she couldn't help pinching her sore calves and said.
Although Tong Shuangxi and Tong Shuangshuang's sister and brother are young, they are also too tired to do it, and they shout that their backs hurt!
It's just that the three mother-in-law and grandson can't rest immediately, and the affairs of the family still need to be dealt with by their mother-in-law and grandson!
In the kitchen, Steward Cai has neatly prepared two more tables, which are prepared for these people who remain.
Qin Laoneng's family, Yuan's family, Qiusheng, Wu Xingzhi, Cai Steward and others are busy and haven't had lunch yet!
"Thank you so much today, whoever is in trouble in the future just say hello, our mother-in-law and grandson will definitely do their best like you!"
At the banquet, Mrs. Wang toasted the big guy with the first glass of wine, after all, the big guy has been busy with their mother-in-law and grandson for several days, and this word of gratitude is indispensable.
Everyone smiled and drank the wine glasses, which can be regarded as accepting the thank you of Mrs. Wang.
"It's all my own family who have been hungry for most of the day, so you better let us eat a dish first, don't say those words of thanks!" Seeing that Mrs. Wang stood up and wanted to say something, Qin Wu said jokingly.
The people at the table couldn't help laughing and coaxing, and Mrs. Wang's face turned red, and she drank all the wine in the wine glass, and then beckoned everyone to eat.
