After entering the wax moon, the items that Lindsay Yu wanted to buy were basically complete, and he was waiting for Shifang Village to send fresh vegetables from his own field. Ah Yuan looked at the half piece of pork hanging on the beam, disgusted and just wanted to vomit, when she saw the pork delivered to the door, she forcibly stopped and didn't let in, how can people like them use inferior meat to make a banquet?

"Pork is so cheap." Lin Saiyu patted Ah Yuan's shoulder and sighed, while asking the guy from Pig Killing Alley to add ten more pig hands, which were just used to make cheap and delicious lentil stewed pork knuckles, thinking that the saliva would stay, which made Ah Yuan even more disgusted.

"Lady, I bought the flax you wanted." Liu Xiaohu strode into the back kitchen with a bag in each hand, looking at the full kitchen, his heart was a little calmer, Lin Saiyu and Ying'er, who were busy in the stove, greeted her, Ying'er took the flax bag, Lindsay Yu wiped her wet hands on her body twice at will, and said with a smile: "Erlang, I have ordered the menu, I will take it to you and my mother to see, if there is anything wrong, change it early." ”

Liu Xiaohu stretched out his hand to help her wipe the flour on her cheeks, and said dotingly: "The lady has worked hard, Lord Wu will send a few cooks to help you tomorrow." ”

Lin Saiyu nodded and smiled, and pushed him out, "Hurry up and see, I still have time to change after reading it, you are busy every day, it is rare to come back so early." While jokingly, he said, "Are you busy with business or private affairs?" As soon as these words came out, he felt that Liu Xiaohu's body stiffened.

"Lady, the greenhouses in the silt field have just grown, and they can't do without people, and there are many people who come to see them, and they want to learn from them, I ......" Liu Xiaohu stopped and said a little hurriedly, Lin Saiyu saw that he was in a hurry to argue and a little embarrassed, he couldn't help but smile, nodded his forehead and said: "I know that my family officials will never carry my lady behind her back to steal food." ”

Liu Xiaohu's face was slightly red, and when he saw that there was no one around, he hugged her and said, "Lady, I will never do anything like that." ”

Lin Saiyu was taken aback by his intimate transgression in this courtyard, and he didn't care about these jokes, and hurriedly pushed away and went to Liu's house.

"The soup is made of radish balls, the staple food is steamed dumplings, willow leaf dumplings, cabbage pork buns, Yunying noodles and millet gruel, cold dishes include beef slices with sauce, pineapple vermicelli, cucumbers, mixed vegetables, beets are made of glutinous rice lotus root, white fungus lotus seeds stewed red dates, steamed egg custard, tofu, cured chicken, stewed lentils stewed pork knuckles, pork vermicelli, winter melon duck, boiled fish, fried leek eggs, pork belly and tenderloin, dry roasted fish, roasted eggplant...... "Lin Saiyu put the full two-page paper in front of Liu and Liu Xiaohu, A panel of fingers to report.

Ah Yuan snorted on the side: "Anyway, it's not your family's own land, or the chickens and ducks raised in your own village, and the only meat you buy is the cheapest pork, Madame's banquet sounds like a lot of things, but it didn't cost a lot of money, right?" ”

Lin Saiyu smiled and said, "The oil, salt, sauce and vinegar five-flavor seasoning costs money." Ah Yuan turned his head and left.

Liu Shi was also a little uneasy, and said: "Daughter-in-law, these are all things we eat every day, maybe you can get it?" ”

Lin Saiyu sat down and said with a smile: "Mother, what are the conditions of our family, they all know, even if we smash the silver and rush the façade, it is useless, but it is better to make it clear, first, they don't have any confidence in the banquet made by our family, second, they eat good and expensive food every day, eat in the restaurant, our simple dishes are fresh to them, maybe it is a surprise, and the daughter-in-law still has some confidence in her craft." ”

Liu Xiaohu also nodded and said, "Yes, no one's family is as delicious as the lady's cooking." ”

Liu smiled and said, "Let's do our best, and those who have a heart can naturally see it, that's all." ”

On the tenth day of the lunar month, it first fell for half a day of snow beads, and at noon it was like a pear blossom dancing like a flying big down, wearing a golden jacket, a sweat in winter, standing at the door, watching a load of fresh vegetables transported in, a middle-aged village farmer raised his eyebrows and said: "Why did you send it today?" ”

The village farmer is Cao Liu'er, who is in charge of the Liu family's field in Shifang Village, he doesn't know Ah Yuan, but he also knows that he is a person who can call the shots, so he hurriedly smiled and said: "Sister, the road is not easy to walk, it is delayed, I will go to make amends to my wife." ”

Ah Yuan waved his hand and said, "I don't care about it now, you unload the dishes and go to the back kitchen, go to the ear room by the back door to rest, and when the lady is done today, I will talk about it tomorrow." ”

Then Cao Liu'er thanked him, and went busily with people, Ah Yuan commanded the people who picked up the table and bench on the other side to go to the backyard, Ying'er ran around, and said for a while, this is here, that one is missing, this is all together, Zhang Si, who is guarding the door, is holding a broom and sweeping all over the yard, Ah Yuan saw it and stomped his feet and said: "Dad, just sweep out a road, and don't care about it." In the chaos, a few temporarily hired mothers-in-law ran around in front of the door, shouting that Mrs. Wu's family had arrived, and Ah Yuan hurriedly greeted him.

Mrs. Wu, who was dressed in a gold satin back and a white silk jacket and yellow silk skirt, got out of the car with the maid's hand, and a beautiful concubine next to her was holding an umbrella, and when she saw Ah Yuan coming over to salute, she smiled and said: "What a girl, what is your wife doing with you all day long?" and they will not go to me. ”

Ah Yuan grinned, took Mrs. Wu's hand from the maid's hand, and took her inside, while saying: "We have a small family, we have to do everything by ourselves, and we can't leave anyone for a moment, but grandma feels sorry for us, so early to come?" ”

Mrs. Wu smiled at what she said, nodded and said, "No, I'm not worried, come over earlier to help." While turning around, he beckoned the five mothers-in-law next to the carriage, "Go and help settle and send them here, and be careful one by one." ”

This Mrs. Wu's family is Liu Xiaohu's colleague in Sinong Temple, good and pure, the earliest to interact with Lindsay Yu, this Chinese New Year's Eve has nine, love Lindsay Yu's cool and simple, even when the daughter looks at the general, Ah Yuan knows that Mrs. Wu and Lindsay Yu have the best relationship, so they do not refuse, Zhao Ying'er took these people to the back, Mrs. Wu sat down in the hall, saw that there was a brass brazier in the room, surrounded by peach blossoms, various colors of chrysanthemums, and a bottle of plum orchids were scattered, so she nodded and felt a little more peaceful, while asking what about your wife? At this time, it was time to dress up, saying this, Liu Shi came in from behind, Mrs. Wu was busy getting up and saluting, and then sat down as the host and guest, and saw Lin Saiyu, who was wearing a colorful sleeve makeup brocade chicken satin jacket and swaying a golden branch and green leaf support mud skirt, rushed out in a hurry, and said without taking a breath: "Thank you, sister, for bringing someone to help me." ”

Mrs. Wu saw that her face was slightly red, obviously in a hurry, and saw that her hands were wet, so she hurriedly asked, "Are you ready?" You too, what are you doing with this breath? It's never too late to ask for a new year. ”

Lin Saiyu nodded with a smile and said, "Sister, don't worry, it's all right, but I asked my sister to take care of it for me." ”

Mrs. Wu frowned slightly, and said, "What's the matter?" Do you really want to cook yourself? ”

Speaking of this, Ah Yuan's face was pulled down and walked aside angrily, Lin Saiyu ignored her and smiled: "Let my sisters taste it and see what our countrymen eat." ”

Mrs. Wu sighed, pulled her over and whispered: "You don't know that those of them are all low, don't be stubborn with your sister, I took the money and invited the cook first, don't bother." ”

Lin Saiyu thanked with a smile, patted Mrs. Wu's hand and said: "This cook is invited by everyone, and the food is the same every day, sister rest assured, I also let go, so as to save them from talking about me behind my back, simply make it clear, I was born in the countryside, what is there to hide, and I am afraid that people will not be able to say it?" ”

Mrs. Wu still wanted to speak, but Ying'er ran in from outside the door and said, "The master has invited a singer to come." ”

The two stopped talking, Lin Saiyu knew that this nobleman's banquet had invited prostitutes from Qinglou Flower Lane to help the fun, so he waved his hand and asked Ying'er to take it down to obey the order, and there was a mother-in-law in the back kitchen to question, Lin Saiyu confessed, and Liu sat with Mrs. Wu and went busily.

After half a day, the sky gradually darkened, the carriage in front of Liu's house lined up a street, crowded a group of people who were pressed by the black, the main hall of Liu's house was lined up, the Qi mat was laid out, Liu Xiaohu personally accompanied the officials and guests to sit on the table, Liu and Lindsay Yu took the female guests to the newly cleaned up big shed in the back garden, and placed a hearth under the shed, and put a few braziers, for a while the warmth was strong, the women took off their big robes, and the flowers in the shed were red willows and green warblers and swallows.

Before coming, the women had a quarrel, most of them knew that this Mrs. Liu family was cooking in person, and they wanted to cook a farm dish for them, and those who looked down on Lin Saiyu's background every day naturally would not miss this opportunity to ridicule, and they called friends and brought many concubines to come early, and those ladies who were kind and got along well with Lin Saiyu were worried, and they also brought their mother-in-law and maids to help them with their hearts, and they also came early, so the banquet was earlier than Lin Saiyu expected.

Accompanied by a soup and rice radish balls, which opened the prelude to the Liu family's farmhouse banquet, Ah Yuan stood at the second door, watching the two dishes based on cold vegetables and beets being sent over, pricking up his ears to listen to the mocking laughter in front of him, Ying'er ran out of breath, and replied: "Sister, eat it, say it's good." Immediately after the meat-based steamed pork ribs, steamed tofu, steamed cured chicken, and steamed eggplant kicked off the prelude to the three dishes, accompanied by Ying'er's voice again, "Eat, say good, all laughing......", Ayuannati's heart in the throat slowly relaxed, and a concubine of Mrs. Wu's family hurriedly walked out and said, "Sister, those who sing?" Why haven't you come yet? Ah Yuan then remembered, busy people to call, saw a few people, dressed delicately, each holding a musical instrument, Ah Yuan took a look at the smoke, saw that they were all looking up and laughing, only one woman wearing a white silk placket and a red Luo skirt holding a moon qin lowered her head, thought about it and left three people with pipa, and let the rest go to the front hall, let the concubine of the Wu family take these three people to the female guest to sing, he still stood in front of the second door, listening to the orchestra inside and out, laughing and scattering, leaning against the courtyard wall, I exhaled as I looked at the snow flying in the sky.

When the four-course dishes based on vegetarian vegetables came up, Ah Yuan saw Lin Saiyu coming out of the cook's side, ran over in a few steps, followed to the house first, briefly freshened up, sprinkled incense powder, re-painted and changed clothes, the two walked into the roll shed quickly, and when they saw her coming, everyone who was eating and drinking stood up one after another, and called: "Madam, good craftsmanship." "Madame come and sit here." "Madame, you have to teach me." Some also asked, "Do you still have fresh vegetables at home?" I went to Cheng'an twice, but I didn't buy it. Yunyun, Lindsay Yu smiled on her face and was humble, Liu also stood up and said that the family was simple, thank you for the nobles' faces, and everyone said thank you, Lindsay Yu looked at Mrs. Wu, and saw Mrs. Wu clapping her hands with a smile on her face, only to know that it was done, put your mind at ease, just sat down, and saw a small maid leading a woman in, Ah Yuan's sharp eyes saw that he was busy, and asked back to Lindsay Yu: "The master let us come in." ”

Lin Saiyu was talking to Mrs. Wu, and looked at it casually, and saw that the woman was holding Yueqin and bowing her head timidly, not like the frivolous prostitutes she had seen at the banquet in the past, so she nodded, and then turned her head to see Mrs. Wu looking at the woman who was sitting down in a corner with a slight expression.

"Sister, what do you want to hear?" Lin Saiyu asked, remembering that Mrs. Wu likes to listen to Ji Jing's harmony, so she beckoned to the Yueqin woman who had just come in, "You play one." ”

Mrs. Wu took her hand, stopped her words a little embarrassed, and said, "Sing so casually, I'm tired of listening to that every day, everyone is happy to listen to it, just order something for me!" As he spoke, his eyes turned around Lindsay's face a few times, as if he wanted to see something.

Lin Saiyu, who was watching, laughed and said, "Sister, see what I do?" Is it a flower on the face? While reaching out to touch her face, Mrs. Wu hurriedly smiled and looked away, since then she has always been a little absent-minded, Lin Saiyu looked inappropriate, and it was not easy to ask, so she had to suppress her suspicion.

At this time, the little maid who came in came over again and said, "The lord invites the lady to the front hall to see the wine." Lin Saiyu knew that this was to thank Mrs. Dangjia for entertaining, and it was also in order, so she hurriedly confessed, and asked Mrs. Wu to take care of it more, so she took Ayuan to the front hall, and didn't dare to raise her eyes when she got there, but she felt that there were people sitting in a full hall, four women singing songs sat in a corner, and there were seven or eight women sitting in the middle of the banquet. I felt a little at ease.

Bowed his head and smiled at everyone, ate everyone's thank you, and swept his eyes by the way, seeing that most of the dishes on the table were eaten cleanly, Lindsay Yu couldn't hide the joy in his heart, and looked at Liu Xiaohu's face slightly red, obviously he also ate wine, and was faintly worried, and he was about to tell him to eat a few glasses less, but he didn't dare to say, so he had to give Liu Xiaohu a close little girl, and called Brother Bang's child a look, and whispered a few words, Brother Bang responded before he and Ah Yuan slowly retreated, walked out of the hall, and listened to the laughter there, Sandwiched between the woman's coquettish smile, Knowing that the wine and food were cold, the old men of the official family began to laugh with those prostitutes.

"Your lord also laughs with those women when he goes to the banquet every day?" Lin Saiyu ate a few glasses of wine, some of which were up, and held Ah Yuan's hand and whispered dissatisfied.

Ah Yuan snorted at her and said, "So what, it's just for people to joke, Madame is also going to her heart, she really lost her identity." ”

Lin Saiyu smiled, raised her hand and flicked her, and said, "You have something to say." As he spoke, he had walked to the edge of the shed, and heard the silence of the people inside, only the sound of a delicate moon piano came out, and the snow was still falling like a tussle, which was particularly beautiful under the reflection of the surrounding lights.

"This is Yueqin playing well, but why does it sound a little sad?" Lin Saiyu stood and listened for a moment, couldn't help laughing, raised her feet and entered the roll shed, and saw everyone turn to look at the woman playing the piano, with different expressions on her faces, seeing her come in, the Yueqin woman's hand shook and made an imperfect end note.

"It's really a good piano, look at it." Lin Saiyu said busily, turned his head to look at Ah Yuan, as soon as he said this, he felt countless eyes looking at him, and suddenly it was like a high-powered spotlight hitting his body, and the temperature around him rose sharply in an instant, and he subconsciously met those scrutinizing eyes for unknown reasons, what? Did she do it wrong? Didn't she go to the banquet in the past to appreciate the chef's singing, and the chef herself didn't need to be rewarded, so what's wrong with rewarding a prostitute?

Seeing her look back with a puzzled face, everyone suddenly returned to normal, laughed and praised, and each ordered a reward, although Lin Saiyu had doubts in her heart, she couldn't solve it, and Ah Yuan glanced at her, and saw that her eyes were also full of doubts, but she shook her head lightly at Lin Saiyu, Lin Saiyu temporarily pressed the question and slowly walked back to her seat, while quietly glancing at the Yueqin woman, but saw that she was also lowering her head and teasing her eyes, the eyes met, the woman was frightened and retracted her gaze, bowed her head and retreated behind the person.

After sending the last carriage, the gate of Liu's house slowly closed, the lights in the courtyard went out, Lin Saiyu lay on the bed, feeling all over her body, and pushed Liu Xiaohu, who was asleep after eating broken wine, and said, "Have you eaten sobering gas?" Don't have a stomach ache. ”

Liu Xiaohu whispered a few words, stretched out his hand to hold her in front of him, Lin Saiyu only felt the smell of alcohol, and hurriedly pushed him and said: "It stinks to death, you can't eat wine, you have to eat." ”

Liu Xiaohu didn't allow her to break free, and her drunken and stimulating sensual desires faded in her sleep, seeing Lin Saiyu scattered in front of her, she was slightly annoyed, buried her head and kissed her, and murmured: "Good lady, I'm happy today, you are really my good lady, my best lady." ”

Lin Saiyu couldn't stand the smell of alcohol, so she pushed him away and said, "I'm tired today, go to sleep quickly." Liu Xiaohu laughed drunkenly a few times, and really fell to the side, Lin Saiyu saw that he was not as upset as in the past, so he pestered endlessly, relieved and afraid that he was uncomfortable eating and drinking, got up and poured water to feed him a few mouthfuls, cleaned up and lay on the bed before exhaling, finally passed a level, this trip will not lose the face of the Liu family!

As if waking up from a dream, he felt that Liu Xiaohu was holding himself in front of him, so he rubbed his chin, trying to find a comfortable position, but felt that Liu Xiaohu whispered in his ear: "Sister Yulou", and suddenly woke up, and his eyes were dark, except for Liu Xiaohu's slight snoring, the sound of the wind outside the window, it seemed that Fang Cai's voice was just her hallucination, but her hand involuntarily pinched the corner of the brocade quilt, only to feel that the cold wind outside blew in through the hall, only blowing cold all over the body.
