Chapter 42: The Feast

The family was reunited and had a happy dinner.

The little kapok hugged the chicken legs, and since the beginning of dinner, he has eaten until now. I finally finished eating, and my mouth was full of oil.

Su Lingyu wiped her with a coarse cloth, the coarse cloth was too rough, and wiped Kapok's face red.

"Someone told me that I was able to lift people in the exam, but they all burned high incense, and the blind cat met a dead mouse. People my age are still studying in private schools or colleges. The people who are on the same list as me are twenty and five, and seventeen, eighteen, and nineteen, and nineteen, and they are all older than me. I was a young newborn calf who was not afraid of tigers, and I got out of the examination room at a young age. Su Shan gushed endlessly, wanting to speak freely.

Everyone listened to him with a smile, and Su Lingyu took Kapok to take a bath.

"Hot water, I'll pick it up." Su Zhong snatched the bucket, and she let him go.

"San'er, can you imagine who is at the top of the list?"

The scholars of the three cities gathered together, and the people on the list were all geniuses from all over the world, Su Chong asked like this, could it be that she knew this person?

Looking at Su Chong waiting for him to follow.

I only heard him say: "It's Wang Jingxing, the one who used to live next door to us." ”

Su Lingyu was surprised at first, and then figured out that when he saw Xiao Wang next door at the city gate a few days ago, he knew that he had made extraordinary achievements. Being at the top of the list will only make his resume even more brilliant.

She ripped off the bath towel and said: "Xiao Wang next door is much more diligent than you, he continues to study and practice martial arts day by day, and the family is still invited by a famous gentleman in Liangguan." It's no surprise to be at the top of the list. ”

"My temper is also much bigger, and when I greet him, he doesn't seem to know me anymore."

Thinking of Wang Jingxing, who had a proud face, Su Lingyu nodded. "If you don't know it, you don't know it, and it's not uncommon for him to know it."

…………

It's time to celebrate.

On the first day, Su Chengqi took Su Shan into the village, thanked Mr. for his teachings, and invited the villagers to eat at his house the next day.

The next day, three longboard tables were laid out in a row, and five kitchen knives were activated together, chopping chickens for chopping chickens, chopping vegetables for chopping vegetables, pots and buckets.

Three earthen stoves made of mud bricks, with three pots, one pot boiling bone broth, one pot stir-frying pork, and the last pot boiling a pot of hot water.

A bare-chested cook, armed with a special shovel, walks between the pot and the long table, directing the ingredients to be delivered to the pot.

Su Chengqi took Su Shan to greet and greet the guests, and Su Chong and his mother helped to fiddle with the table and prepare for the banquet.

The least idle is the third son of the Su family, she not only has to take the two little ones today, but also takes care of a group of little children.

It's all because she keeps eating in her hands, attracting a lot of children, and one by one slugs are standing on the side, and she is embarrassed to distinguish between people. One of them divided a few beans and a few melon seeds, and told them to do what they could.

came and went, and there were more children who begged her for beans and melon seeds.

You have to coax this one not to cry, you have to tell the one not to snatch snacks from your brother and sister, and you have to remind them not to go to the fire.

Seeing them serving dishes to the table, bowls of dishes were served on the table, and the villagers were dumbfounded.

"So much meat! There are already six bowls of meat. ”

"There's more to come. I asked, all of them were ten bowls of dishes, nine meats and one vegetarian. This time, it's a lot of money. The fried yellow eel alone is worth a hundred dollars. ”

The people who came to the Su family for the first time were surprised, "A hundred big bucks? ”

"You don't know. The Su family raises yellow eels, which are orange and orange, all of them have big thumbs, and the meat quality is good. The restaurant in the city uses the yellow eel he has here, and a yellow eel costs eighty dollars. ”

"You see, that's the shopkeeper of Fusheng Tower."

When I heard this, my eyes lit up, thinking that I would wait to grab it faster, for fear that I wouldn't be able to grab the chopsticks too late.

Su Lingyu waved his hand to disperse the children and asked them to find their mothers to eat at the table.

Before the dishes were ready, they held the bowls and pinched the chopsticks one by one, just waiting for Li Zheng to finish speaking. As long as Li Zheng finished talking to the clan elders in the village, they would all start to grab the food.

The fragrant food tempted the stomach in front of them, but Keli was chatting with the clan elder Rory, and they couldn't wait to stop the clan elder and wait until they were done eating.

After listening to Li Zheng's words of encouragement to Su Shan, she asked Kapok: "Are you hungry?" ”

The little kapok patted its bulging belly to indicate that he was not hungry.

After a morning of snacks, how hungry can you be?

"Let's go out for a walk and eat less." Pass your finger over.

Xiao Kapok immediately held her sister's hand, and when she stood up, she didn't forget to pat the dust on her trouser leg.

Su Lingyu asked her grandmother to take a good look at Xiao Wu, and she took the donkey and kapok out for a walk.

The Li family on the opposite side is even more lively, Li Dan is a local, there are more clan relatives than friends, and the number of banquet tables is twice as many as that of the Su family.

Look at the bustle over there, some people are standing or sitting outside the courtyard gate, waiting for the second batch.

Su Lingyu sat on the back of the donkey with the kapok in his arms, and staggered to the paddy field to see the seedlings planted and the ducks released.

From afar, I saw Li Lezi with a girl, wanting to go to Li Dan's house.

This girl is thin and dark, with average facial features, and she is tall. I don't know what her relationship is with Li Lezi.

Li Lezi is twenty years old this year, and the older ones in the village who are the same age as him have all become fathers. No one from a few nearby villages wanted to marry him, and his family couldn't afford to give him money as a dowry.

"Li Lezi, who is she? You were trafficked? Out of curiosity, she asked.

"What is the abduction and trafficking, Lai Erniu was hired by me to marry back." Li Lezi was so unhappy.

Erniu is a native of Eighteen Townships, and once she met her, she praised her as a good brother, and he was worried about it.

sneaked back to her village with her, and found that she was living in trouble with her grandmother, and wanted to save her from fire and water. He wanted to marry her, but unfortunately he had no money on hand, which made him scratch his head.

He started the idea of the Su family's yellow eel. Although the Sujia yellow eel was bred in the ditch in front of the door, it was unguarded in the middle of the night, so he came to steal the yellow eel at the fifth watch.

Stealing two a day, after a long time, there are more yellow eels, and he also sells them for a lot of money. There are many snails in the canals of mountain streams, and he touches the snails and loaches to buy them. I sold some more grain, and finally got two taels of silver after saving up for half a year.

paid two taels of silver to buy the Lai family's fire girl, and the Lai family was too late to be happy. In this way, he has one more woman.

"Came here today?"

"Don't talk nonsense with you, I still have to take her to meet the clansmen." Li Lezi was so unhappy.

Su Lingyu tore off the small red flower on the head of the kapok and threw it to Li Lezi, "Since you are new to the door, you have to wear the red flower." As he spoke, he threw down a purse, "Congratulations on finding the lady, these ten coins are considered gift money." ”

Li Lezi picked up the red flower, put it on Lai Erniu's head, caught the flying purse, and said perfunctorily: "Thank you." The three sons of the Su family are really generous. ”

"Be a good man." Su Lingyu patted the donkey and asked the donkey to dodge to make way.

Lai Erniu looked at the child on the donkey gratefully, although she didn't know who the third son of the Su family was, but those who could give safflower and gift money were all kind-hearted people.
