Chapter 73: Discuss the details of the wedding feast
"You're strong, you go home to farm, what kind of green vegetables and grains do you grow, I haven't heard of these farmhouses, can you do it?" Sun Jian bent down slightly, turned sideways to look at a piece of paper blown up by the wind on the road, and couldn't help asking.
"When the time comes, I will know that the vegetable mining area I grow will have to help collect it, and the price will be the same as that in the market." Hao Hao looked at Sun Jian with big watery eyes, this Sun Jian was embarrassed to be stared at, and he blushed unconsciously.
"Okay, as much as you want." Sun Jian patted his chest and promised.
"That's what you said, don't send it to me when the time comes, if you don't want it, I'll be in trouble." Hao said with a smile.
"No, anyway, there are no fixed customers in the mining area, they all go to the market to buy, what to eat, if your vegetables are really as good as you say, I will talk to the factory director, and treat you as a long-term partner." Sun Jian affirmed and assured him, his voice was very high-pitched and excited.
"I will not disappoint your high expectations." Hao Hao's face was serious, full of confidence and assurance.
Guoguo saw that the two of them were talking non-stop all the way, and they saw that they were about to arrive in front of someone's butcher's shop, and they didn't mean to stop.
He spoke.
"Sister, it's here."
"I forgot about the business when I said this, Master Sun quickly took us in." Hao scratched her head embarrassedly, and with Master Sun's assurance, she would not worry about her future sales, and she forgot about her business.
"It's okay, you follow me, I'm familiar with Master Niu, he specializes in providing pork to the mining area, we have a good relationship, if you have anything, he won't embarrass you." Sun Jian took a few big steps forward, walking as he went.
"That's good, my heart is finally stable." Hao Hao patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief.
Outside, the sun was obscured by dark clouds, the sky suddenly turned black, and the dry and green trees around them were swayed from side to side by the north wind.
See, it's about to rain.
The three of them immediately stepped into Master Niu's butcher's shop.
Today, it is not Master Niu himself who sells meat in the butcher's shop, but a young man, looking at the visitor, he asks in fluent Mandarin.
"Are you here to sell meat?"
"I'm looking for your father, is Master Niu here?" Sun Jian was not frightened by the young man's Mandarin and momentum, but asked as usual, cordially and generously.
"My dad, it's in the backyard, I'm going to find it for you." The young man wiped his hands, and when he had finished speaking, he ran into the inner room.
"This is the young man who is going to get married, he is a talent, and he is also kind and not arrogant." Hao Hao saw that the young man was very amiable and spoke softly, not like a soldier brother at all.
"It's up to his father, but we haven't dealt with each other, and they're older than you, and you're not ashamed of being a young man," Sun Jian looked back and said with a smile.
"Is it really older than me?" Hao Hao's face was surprised, and the boss stared at him with glasses. I can't believe the fact that Sun Jian said.
"Well, he's twenty-five, and I think you're eighteen years old, and you look like an adult, and if you let the young man hear it, I'm sure to laugh off my big teeth." Sun Jian seized the opportunity, and he joked about Hao Hao.
"Master Sun, I really look like I want to be eighteen?" Hao Hao asked uncertainly, there is no woman who doesn't like to be young and beautiful, this is not to be praised for her young age, she was a little excited for a while.
"Yes, you look small, youthful and energetic, and good-looking, but it's a pity that my Sun Jian was born more than ten years early, otherwise I would have pursued you." Master Sun actually made a joke, men are visual creatures, and they always have a trace of longing for beautiful people, and Sun Jian is no exception.
"Master Sun seems to be kneeling on the washboard at home." Hao Hao didn't want to be angry, how old is this I still want to pursue a young girl, and the thief is not dead!.
Sun Jian was about to say something when he heard a loud voice coming from the back door.
"Who?"
"Sun Jian, Lao Niu, you are in good spirits on happy occasions, don't sell pork?" Sun Jian asked with a smile.
"Hey, Master Sun, why are you here to buy pork?" A chubby white-haired old man appeared in everyone's sight with a ruddy face, a mouthful of big white teeth, and when he spoke, his stomach trembled, and it was terrifying to look at.
"No, this time it's Xiao Hao who brought you a wedding banquet, get to know you, and tell me the requirements by the way, so she can go back and prepare." Sun Jian stretched out his hand to hold the hand handed over by Master Niu and said with a smile.
"It turned out to be Master Hao, come into the backyard, let's talk, I have long heard that there is a young master in the town, who eats well, and also makes a New Year's Day dinner for your mining area, and everyone who has eaten it praises, my old cow is very curious, and today I see that he is indeed a capable person." Niu Jianguo spread his hand and looked at Hao Hao.
Today, Hao Hao deliberately wore the new clothes that Ma Mei brought to him, and put on light makeup, and the whole person was cleaned up neatly.
Hao Hao Hao is smiling, his eyes are full of aura, his big watery eyes, and he is smiling, and he looks like a bright person.
"Master Niu has won the award, and I am the one who plays with a big knife in front of Guan Gongmen, and I don't have much ability." Hao Hao also looked at Master Niu, and found that the corners of his mouth were up, and the corners of his eyes were wrinkled with a smile, so he knew that he was a sincere person and easy to speak.
"Be modest, go into the backyard, let's discuss." Master Niu greeted him warmly.
"Let's go." Sun Jian stepped first, and Hao Hao and Guoguo followed behind him and entered the backyard.
There's a hole in the backyard.
Similar to the appearance of the courtyard in Beijing, just enter the door, clearly see a patio, there is a tall apricot tree planted by the well, although it is dry and black, but it is still upright, there is a stone table under the apricot tree, and there are four stone benches next to the stone table, but no one will sit on the stone bench.
Niu Jianguo led the three of them into the hall and beckoned his wife to bring tea and pour water. And he brought melon seeds and candy and put them on the table in front of the three of them.
"Eat some melon seeds and candy, I just bought it." Niu Jianguo greeted warmly.
"You also sit down and tell me what you want." Sun Jian grabbed a handful of melon seeds, gave some to Guoguo, and then ate them himself.
"I don't have much requirements, we buy the dishes ourselves, and Master Hao can do it. The only point is that we have to send some pastries to relatives and friends when they leave, I have eaten the pastries you made, the taste is very good, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and with the fragrance of flowers, I especially like it. What do you think of me, I will pay you a total of five hundred for the feast and the pastries? Master Niu took the tea, and then handed it to the three of them, with a serious look. The attitude is sincere.
"No problem, I don't know what the requirements are for the pattern and taste of the pastry?" Hao Hao didn't drink tea, she couldn't drink it, but took a piece of candy, peeled the candy paper, and put it in her mouth.
The taste of fruit candy in memory. Long-lost childhood memories.
"Try as much as possible, it's up to you," Master Niu said with a sudden smile.
"Okay, I'll do whatever I can think of for you. Don't know what are the requirements for the banquet dishes? Hao Hao only knew where she lived before, in addition to the banquet, there were also radish dishes, which she didn't know in Shaanxi Shengyuan County.
"Four meats and four vegetables." Master Niu replied.
"Are all meat dishes pork?" Hao Hao asked again.
"There are chickens, ducks, fish, pork." Master Niu replied again.
"What's the vegetarian food?" Hao Hao accidentally swallowed fruit candy while talking, which hurt her chest, but it couldn't affect her business.
"There are cabbage, vermicelli, tomatoes, eggs, mushrooms, artichokes, peppers, leeks, cabbage, and nothing else." Niu Jianguo recalled the things he had purchased and told Hao Hao one by one.
"Okay, I know, I'll go back and draw up the menu, and make sure you're satisfied. Another requirement is that Master Niu has to find me some helpers, wash and chop vegetables, and there are crockpots at home, and I have to take out all the sauerkraut, I can use it. Hao Hao was not polite and made a direct request.
"Okay, don't worry, I have prepared manpower and things for you early, just wait for you to come tomorrow, we will be busy at seven o'clock tomorrow morning, and it is estimated that it will be evening." Master Niu looked at Hao Hao and said the precautions, he was also relieved, and he was relieved to hear that Hao Hao was so professional.
"Okay, then I'll go back and prepare the pastries now, about three hundred." Hao Hao got up, put the candy paper on the table, pulled up Guoguo, and glanced at Sun Jian by the way, his old god was there, it was not too comfortable.
"I'll send you." Master Niu got up at the same time and sent the three of them out.
Before leaving, he also wrapped them with a bag of melon seeds and candy, and Sun Jian took it cheekily.
On the way back, a strong wind hung up.
The whistling north wind blew the dust and dirt on the ground floating overhead.
Hao Hao covered his mouth and explained a few words to Sun Jian with difficulty, and he also agreed, and then the two sisters went back to the dining car.
Xu Laohan was in a hurry, and he was going to look for them, but as soon as he got up, he saw the two of them coming back.
"Come back, it looks like it's going to rain." Xu Laohan returned to his stomach with a hanging heart, and then waved his whip.
With a snap, the two oxen pulled the cart and set off.
The sky was cloudy and the wind was blowing.
As soon as the three of them entered the door, it began to rain heavily.
The rain in early spring is no better than the rain in summer, although it is rapid, but it can be more intimidating, and I thought it was a downpour, but in a few minutes, it turned into a drizzle.
Hao Hao washed his hands and sat in front of the window looking out of the house.
The wind still didn't stop, and the drizzle was blown crookedly, in the east, and in the west, and it didn't take long for the ground to get wet.
"Sister, it's time to stir-fry." Guoguo steamed the rice and returned to the kang, took off his shoes and lay on the hot kang, playing with Tiantian.
"Well, boil some vegetarian soup and drink it today, it's easy to get angry when you eat meat every day." Hao Hao came back to his senses and got up to prepare the vegetarian soup.
Tomatoes, green leafy vegetables, winter melon, meatballs, these are boiled into a pot of soup, which is both warm and healthy.
"Guoguo, help my sister make noodles, this afternoon's pastry is a big job." Hao Hao stood in front of the board, picking vegetables, and seeing that Guoguo was not too busy, he ordered her to make noodles.
