Chapter 44: The Autumn Harvest (3)

When Zhao Hui ran home, Li Jinshu was busy in the kitchen. He suddenly appeared at the door of the kitchen without making any movement, which startled Li Jinshu.

"Are you a ghost? Walking with a float? She patted her chest to calm herself.

Zhao Hui sat in front of the stove with an expressionless face and began to light the fire: "Aunt Qing asked me to come back and help you cook." ”

Li Jinshu couldn't help but roll his eyes when he looked at his stuffy gourd: "Look at your sweaty appearance." I don't need your help here, you can go and wash it in a basin of water first! ”

"Oh!" Zhao Hui was very obedient, put down the tongs and went out.

For Li Jinshu, cooking a meal is a breeze. The ingredients were all prepared yesterday, and the rice was already stuffed on the stove, so she just waited for the chicken in the pot to stew and serve it before stir-frying.

Today's lunch was hearty: the main dish was multigrain rice with steamed buns, stewed chicken with potatoes, pork belly with garlic sprouts and a pork rib with sauce, as well as stir-fried loofah, stir-fried greens and an egg soup. Everything is very large, especially the potato stew and chicken, but the whole chicken is stewed.

Not to mention that this kind of dish is busy with farming, ordinary people may not be able to eat it even during the New Year. After a few meat dishes came out of the pot, Li Jinshu raised his head and shouted at Zhao Hui outside: "Zhao Hui, go to the field and call my mother and they will come back for dinner!" ”

"Oh!" Zhao Hui poked his head at the kitchen door, and then turned to leave.

After a busy morning in the field, when Zhao went back, Ye was also planning to invite everyone back to eat. As soon as a few older men arrived outside the hospital, they smelled the fragrance coming from the kitchen, forcing a few men to swallow a few mouthfuls of saliva.

Zhao Hui took the initiative to go into the house to wipe the table, and then ran into the kitchen to serve food. Here, Ye Shi beckoned everyone to wash their faces, and when they sat down, the dishes were just ready.

"It's been a busy morning, you've worked hard, hurry up and move the chopsticks!"

They are all from the same village, and everyone is not polite. Zhang Zili picked up the chopsticks and first took a chopstick garlic sprout pork belly, then put it in his mouth and chewed it twice, and couldn't help nodding again and again: "Sister-in-law, don't say it, Xiaojin's craft is really amazing, I must have learned it from you." ”

"Where is it so exaggerated, you are looking at her to give her face." Ye said modest words in his mouth, but the smile on his face couldn't be stopped at all.

A few people next to him were busy starting to do it when they heard it, and after tasting it, everyone couldn't help but give a thumbs up. The words of praise were endless, and Li Jinshu was a little embarrassed.

I don't know if it's because the food cooked by Jinshu is so delicious, or because everyone is really hungry, and there is almost nothing left after a meal. Fortunately, she made more when she cooked, otherwise this meal at noon might not be enough.

The host's family had prepared such a sumptuous meal, and the few of them naturally did their best to work. After a brief lunch break, everyone hurried down to the ground again. It was as busy as it was four or five o'clock in the afternoon.

After cutting all the ears of rice in the field, they are then carried to the threshing field with a large stone mill, and finally the broken rice leaves inside are cleaned up, and then they are loaded and carried back. The drying step has to be done in the yard of the house.

The people in the village went to other people's houses to help, and they never planned to have dinner, and Ye was a widow, so it was inconvenient to have a big night. So after they helped carry the grain back, they each said hello and left.

said that he would invite the Zhang family to dinner in the evening, so before Zhang Zisheng left, the Ye family said to him. Zhang Zisheng hurriedly said that there was no need to bother, but in the end, he couldn't resist Ye Liuqing's kindness, and finally nodded and agreed.

The sun sank from the west mountain, and the Zhang family also came up from under the bamboo forest. Li Jinshu was busy in the kitchen, and Ye simply went to greet the guests.

Before Uncle Zhang entered the door, he heard him say: "You see that you are still so troublesome, it is normal for the villagers to do a favor, you still have to invite us to dinner." ”
