In the afternoon, Xie Qingshan, father and son, went to Zhuangzi to watch the progress of the construction of the ground house, and returned home early in the evening with Lin and Qiu Niang.

Xie Wang's heart was happy, he went to Huluzhuang to cut a piece of pork, beat five catties of tofu, and fried a few dishes with Hui Niang, fried cabbage with bacon, fried radish with oil residue, scrambled eggs with dried beans, and boiled a pot of white noodle soup.

When Xie Zhiyuan and Xie Zhicheng brothers also came back from school, the Xie family divided the male and female tables, and sat together to eat lively.

"It's still delicious food made in other restaurants! Look at this pig's head meat, I don't know how to make it, we can't make this taste! Qiu Niang took a chopstick of pig's head meat and put it in her mouth, and praised while chewing.

"If someone else can make money in a restaurant, if it's not delicious, who will go? This is Taihe Building's signature dish, there is a name, it is called apricot sauce fragrant pig, and I don't know how his chef makes it......" Xie Qingshan said with a smile.

"I eat this lung and chewy, unlike our home-made, it smells fishy!" Because Sheng Lin'er slept, Hui Niang could eat a peaceful meal, and she couldn't help but praise.

"Mother, this is called jade silk belly lung, it is carefully washed with alkaline water, and then fried with green onion and ginger, next time you wash it like this, you will be able to remove the fishy!" Xie Xuan ate the leek meat bun packed back in Xinglong Restaurant yesterday, tasted it carefully, and replied with a smile when she heard what Hui Niang said.

"I'm eating this duck so well, there's still stuffing in my belly! Our family has done it once before, and the firewood we make is not as tender as this! Zhicheng remembered what he ate very clearly, and he turned his head at the other table and asked Xie Xuan, "How did you make this?" ”

"That's the eight-treasure duck, I ate the stuffing in the belly like pork, ham, chestnuts, seeds, lotus hearts, winter bamboo shoots, mushrooms, as if the stuffing was chopped, plus green onions, wine, soy sauce, poured from the duck's farts and strands into the duck's belly, and then sewn it with thread, and then stewed in the pot......"

"Oh, with such effort, can it not be delicious? There are only seven or eight kinds of stuffing, where do we usually have some things? Xie Wang smacked his tongue when he heard this.

"Xuanxuan's taste is really good, I just think it's delicious, I can't even eat anything!" Zhou Qin put a chopstick into her mouth, and she didn't taste what was in the stuffing for a long time, so she couldn't help but say.

"I can't taste it either!" Li Ying also said, and took another piece of meat and asked Xie Xuan, "What kind of meat is this?" I didn't taste it for a long time. ”

Xie Xuan turned her head to look at it and said with a smile: "That's the five-spice sauce rabbit, it was originally a cold dish on the table, pinched the head and removed the tail, cut it into slices and served it, no wonder you can't recognize it......"

I sandwiched another bad goose paw to Lin next to him, and said with a smile: "Da Yan, you taste this bad goose paw, the bones are gone, and they are strong and springy, I like to eat this!" ”

"Xuanxuan is really living a heavenly good life at her grandmother's house, we have never eaten these good things, and we can't tell anything if we eat them in our mouths!" Li Lian muttered with a mouth full of meat, glanced at Xie Xuan, wiped the oil overflowing from the corner of her mouth with her hand, stretched her neck vigorously and swallowed the meat in her mouth, and said:

"I don't know where I forgot about us, and I don't want to think about it, her mother and her sister haven't enjoyed this blessing yet......"

Lin's chopsticks were holding the bad goose paws that Xie Xuan gave her, and after hearing Li Lian's words, she couldn't help but look at Hui Niang, and her face was a little uncomfortable.

Xie Xuan is her grandmother, she has always been like a mother and daughter, and she usually has nothing to kiss her, but now that Hui Niang is in front of her, Xie Xuan is still so affectionate to her, I am afraid that Hui Niang will not feel good in her heart.

Although Lin is stout, her mind is still sensitive, and after listening to Li Lian's sour words, Hui Niang didn't say anything, so she didn't feel comfortable at first.

Hui Niang did feel uncomfortable for a moment, her own daughter was like a guest with herself, but she regarded her concubine as her mother, how could she not feel uncomfortable as a mother?

But it was only for a moment, if it weren't for Lin's generous personality, where could he treat his sister-in-law's daughter as his own ordinary milk? How could she be resentful?

Hui Niang chiseled Li Lian's head twice and reprimanded her: "I taught you a lesson in the afternoon, and you don't have a long memory?" It's just that you don't protect your sister as a sister, why are you still picking thorns every day? Eating lotus root with chopsticks - picking eyes, who did you learn from this temperament? even sow discord! ”

He turned his head to Lin and said apologetically: "Sister-in-law, Lian'er is young and ignorant, and she has always been a mouthful, you must not be like her......"

Where would the Lin family really hold a grudge against a child, seeing that Hui Niang didn't mind, he just smiled.

In the evening, I ate and washed up, and sent the children to sleep. The Xie family sat at the table of the Eight Immortals in the hall to discuss things, because such a major event had happened in the Xie family, the original plan was disrupted and needed to be re-planned.

There was a brazier in the middle of the hall, and the charcoal fire was the unburned embers in the stove, bringing some warmth to the cold hall, Xie Xuan roasted hazelnuts and chestnuts by the brazier and ate them while listening to them.

I don't know when, under the acquiescence of Xie Qingshan and Xie Wang, Xie Xuan's participation in family affairs has become a rule, and everyone no longer treats her as an ordinary child. Hui Niang and Qiu Niang didn't know what Xie Xuan did because they were not at home, but they also knew about Xie Xuan from everyone's words, although they were a little surprised in their hearts, but after all, they were married daughters, and they had no objections to this, so Xie Xuan became a part of the decisions about the Xie family.

"Our original plan was that the vegetables in the shed could be sold for another stubble, and we could earn about a hundred taels, and the money in our hands would be looser. But now that the vegetable shed has been picked up by Wu Qingxi, who lacks virtue and is not enough, the money in his hand is a little nervous! Xie Qingshan sat on the edge of the stool, holding a bowl of hot water, and said: "What should I do in the future, our family is not a word, anyone who has any ideas can talk about it!" ”

Xie Pingtian is the boss, and he first said: "Our Zhuangzi is about to be completed, and the most important thing for the rest of the money is to settle the workers' wages, and to entertain them for a casual meal, which can be regarded as our face!" ”

Xie Wang also said: "That's it, I can't say that I will invite them to work again in the future, and when the time comes, our family will have this reputation, and it will be easy to recruit workers." ”

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Lin sent Xie Zhiyuan Xie Zhicheng to sleep early, sat next to her husband and listened, listening to her husband and mother-in-law, she hesitated a little and said: "Our vegetable shed has been picked up, and the goods cannot be supplied, so the deed with the six restaurants in the county, isn't this considered a breach of contract?" ”

Qiu Niang also said worriedly: "Is it difficult, we still have to pay them money?" ”

Hui Niang also said: "I don't know if our family has completed the payment, and the silver money is enough to compensate?" ”

Xie Qingshan sighed, "Where is enough?" A total of one hundred and fifty taels of silver are left in the house, and this time it took twenty taels to invite Soap Li to dinner and pay for shoes and socks, and Uncle Han's commission is still owed, and then calculate the wages of the workers, let alone fifty taels. There are eighty taels of silver left, where is the compensation? ”

After that, he glanced at Xie Ping'an, who was hanging his head on the ground, and said coldly: "There is still a creditor in the family waiting for fifty taels to get married, I owe him, and I have to pay him back!" ”
