It was already noon when the husband and wife returned home after shopping, and Niu gave all the remaining invitations to the old Zhao Tou, who was the gatekeeper.

"These dozens of invitations, old Zhao Tou, you can help send them to the neighbors' houses."

Niu felt that the neighbors came to eat, and it was likely that each household would only bring some vegetables like last time, but it didn't matter, she had already invited all the people who would give generous gifts, and it didn't matter if these neighbors came over to eat for nothing, so they could help enliven the atmosphere.

After lunch, the tables, chairs and the cook were already in place, and everyone helped to clean up the dishes and dishes, and began to cook.

Niu's calmly commanded a few cooks to do things, asked the newly bought maids to also help wash the vegetables, and then caught Liu Dahe's strong men.

Liu Dahe: "I have to coax Fu." ”

Niu put the wooden trolley made by Liu Dahe for Laifu in the middle of the courtyard, and took Laifu from Liu Dahe's arms and put it in the small wooden car.

Rifle immediately giggled and walked around with the little wooden cart.

Niu: "You hold Laifu in your arms all day long, you see that he obviously prefers small wooden cars." ”

After speaking, Niu dragged Liu Dahe's hand to the courtyard, and several cooks behind him showed envious looks in their eyes.

A Qing's sister-in-law: "Look at how much love these two have, the Niu family is really blessed." ”

Niu attaches great importance to this invitation and plans to hold a decent banquet.

She is a smart person, and she remembers the last time she went to Mufu to help, there were games like pitching pots in Mufu.

This is simple, just draw a scoop according to the gourd.

Niu Shi found two large jars for making kimchi from home and asked Liu Dahe to carry them to the grass target in the martial arts training ground.

After Liu Dahe moved the position of the kimchi jar a few times, Niu finally nodded with satisfaction, "Our grass targets here are all ready-made, Dahe, take out the small pieces of wood and bamboo products you usually make as color heads, and also take out the wooden arrows you cut for Xiao Qi." ”

Liu Dahe immediately turned around and went to the house to get something.

Niu Shi said to himself: "I'm so smart, I'm sure to be lively when the time comes." ”

When Liu Dahe brought the things over, Niu advised:

"After dark, light more torches in the courtyard to brighten up and make everyone lively."

Niu: "Our yard is quite big now, and when the time comes, if the women and men are entertained separately, they will definitely think that we are very polite." ”

It was not yet dark, and several red lanterns had been hung up outside the courtyard, which was very festive to watch.

Feng Wanbao came the earliest with his wife and youngest son, and also brought half a cart of tall gifts.

Niu's mouth said politely, but his heart was happy, this boss is really generous, this guest is not in vain, and he can make a fortune again.

The neighbors also came over one after another, some took vegetables, and some sent things that were not bad, which greatly surprised Niu's expectations.

Niu didn't have much hope for them, she just wanted to use these neighbors to liven up the atmosphere.

Soon, Xiao Qi returned.

She was followed by more than 20 catchers, some of whom didn't come together.

It's not that they don't come, but they go home to pick up their families, especially people like Zhang Guozi and Li Sihu, who know that the Liu family's food is delicious, and they want to bring their families over to taste it together.

Mu Ziqi also came after Xiao Qi, he brought a set of good study treasures, and two pieces of satin, the color of the two pieces of satin matched Niu's.

Niu nodded with satisfaction, and asked Ah Fu to come over to entertain the prefect, she felt that it was a good thing to let Ah Fu get along with the prefect.

Zhou Baihu came the latest, after he paid the errand, went home to change into new clothes, and bought a lot of gifts on the street with his wife, and then the whole family set out, a total of five people, a daughter and two sons, all came to Liufu.

The gifts are on par with those given by the Feng family, with silk, tea, and a beautiful orchid insert.

Xiao Qiying was a little embarrassed at the door.

"Lord Zhou, didn't you say it? You don't need to bring a gift. ”

Mrs. Zhou took Xiao Qi's hand affectionately, "This is the Seven Women, I have heard of your name a long time ago, and I was fortunate to meet you today——"

The two sons and one daughter of Zhou Baihu next to him all stared at Xiao Qi with wide eyes, it turned out that this was the legendary Seven Heroines.

Zhou Baihu's daughter is not very old, she looks seven or eight years old, she looks very shy, she walked up to Xiao Qi and bowed in a proper manner, "Sister Xiao Qi is good." “

It's not easy, someone actually called her sister, Xiao Qi is still quite happy.

"What's your name?"

The little girl smiled sweetly, "My name is Qiong'er." ”

Xiao Qi: "The name is so nice. ”

Seeing Niu coming over, Xiao Qi immediately introduced:

"Mother, these are Mrs. Zhou and Miss Childe."

Niu Shi had a decent smile on his face, "I'll just say, how did you hear the call of magpies early this morning?" It turned out that a distinguished guest came to the door! Hurry, this way, please. ”

Niu's is happy, she doesn't know what kind of official Baihu is, but regardless of the big or small officials, Zhou Baihu's wife Qi is the first official wife that Niu met, Niu treats Qi very warmly, and leads Qi into the main house to chat and drink tea.

Although only a hundred invitations were sent out, twenty tables were filled.

And everywhere is proper, and it is very complete.

A total of 18 dishes were served, including eight cold dishes and dim sum, eight hot dishes, and two soups.

Among them, the shredded potatoes are especially popular with children, and everyone has already smelled the rich sweet smell before they are even served.

The shredded potatoes are full of color and fragrance, and they are served together with a bowl of cold water, and the potatoes are immediately brought out with a long golden thread, which can not be eaten directly into the mouth at this time, but should be put in the cold water and then sent to the mouth.

Niu accompanied Mrs. Zhou and Mrs. Feng to sit in the hall to eat.

After the shredded potatoes came up, Niu Shi introduced: "This dish has the effect of good qi and laxative. ”

It's a little indecent, but no one minds, because everyone is busy putting it in their mouths.

The hot dish also has a tiger skin egg that is also popular.

The eggs are fried just right, golden and golden, and the skin is wrinkled, and it is particularly fragrant in the mouth.

That's the clever thing about Niu's, because a lot of eggs, greens and soy products are used in such a table, so you can save a lot of meat money, but you definitely won't think it's cheap.

One of the chefs invited by Niu is very good at plating, and he has put every dish out of style, and he will feel very high-grade when he looks at the color and aroma of the dishes, and he wants to eat it again after eating.

After eating, a temporary platform was set up in the courtyard to start telling stories, and Mr. Storyteller was invited by the Niu family, and it was the Seven Heroines who outwitted Tiger Roaring Mountain.

The guests listened with relish.

I have to say that Niu is still very smart.

She will gossip with the people in the city every day when she goes out to buy vegetables, and knows that her daughter Xiaoqi is very popular in Pengzhou City, and today let the storyteller preach his daughter's heroic deeds in front of the guests again.

It doesn't matter if you don't like listening to books, there are plenty of fun mini-games to participate in.

Not to mention, the children who played with the pitcher won the delicate little animals made by Liu Dahe and were very happy.

There is also a small game of cockfighting next to you to bet on, and the chickens used are home-raised, anyway, just to make everyone happy, it doesn't matter if you are professional or not.

Feng Wanbao won a fun bet, and Mrs. Feng next to him hugged his arm and cheered like a child.

"Master, since you quit drinking, the whole person has become more energetic."

Feng Wanbao touched his face, "Really? Then I won't drink it anymore. ”

Mrs. Feng - I believe you are a ghost, it would be strange if the old drunkard of decades could quit, but she is still quite happy, and it is a day to quit one more day.

Liu Dahe was dumbfounded, he felt that Niu's arrangement was too godly, it seems that after Niu's came to Pengzhou City, he has grown rapidly, and he understands so much, but he still stays in the original thinking, it seems that he has to be flexible, otherwise he will not be able to keep up with Niu's thinking.

Xiao Qi was a little puzzled tonight, "Aunt Xi, why did everyone bring gifts, I obviously told you not to bring gifts?" ”

Hua Xi'er stroked her forehead: "Your mother asked you to remind everyone not to give gifts, do you know what it means?" That's kind words, clearly reminding everyone not to forget to give gifts. ”

Xiao Qi had a question mark on his face, "Well, so that's the case." ”
