"Sister-in-law." Zheng Yi followed Zhao Kangcheng to the kitchen, saw Cai Xiaoxiao who was busy, and waved and shouted.

Cai Xiaoxiao looked back at him and said, "Why are you here?" It's the kitchen. ”

Zheng Yi first greeted Zhao Wang, who was busy beside him: "Old lady." ”

Zhao Wang didn't know Zheng Yi, but when he saw him greeting her, he also smiled and nodded, "Hello." ”

Zhao Kangcheng took the gift box with ice cubes and handed it to Cai Xiaoxiao, while explaining to Zheng Yi: "He said he wanted to see what you were going to do with this." ”

"That's right, that's right." Zheng Yi also walked over and nodded.

"Huh?" Cai Xiaoxiao wiped her hands, then opened the gift box and saw the ice cubes stored inside. The ice cube is about eight kilograms in size, Cai Xiaoxiao said happily when she saw it, "This ice cube came in time, just taking advantage of the large number of people today, I can promote it for free." ”

"Propaganda?" Zhao Kangcheng and Zheng Yi both looked at her with puzzled expressions, "What is the propaganda?" ”

"Hey, hey." Cai Xiaoxiao smiled and said nothing, just asked Zhao Kangcheng to hold the box first, and asked Zhao Kangcheng, "Xianggong, do you remember where to put the hammer in our house?" ”

"I know!" Zhao Kangqiang suddenly raised his hand and said. After speaking, he ran to the yard, and after a while, he ran back with a hammer and handed it to Cai Xiaoxiao, "Sister-in-law, give, hammer." ”

"Thank you, little brother." Cai Xiaoxiao touched his head, took the hammer, thought about it, first found a piece of cloth and spread it on the ground, and then motioned to Zhao Kangcheng to take out the ice cube from the box and put it on the ground.

After the ice cube was placed on the ground, Cai Xiaoxiao raised the hammer, and then hammered it down with a hard blow, and the ice cube suddenly shattered into several pieces.

Zheng Yi saw it and said, "Sister-in-law, do you want to hammer the ice cubes?" ”

"Hmm." Cai Xiaoxiao nodded, and then when he was about to hammer the second hammer, Zhao Kangcheng raised his hand to hold the handle of the hammer and said to Cai Xiaoxiao: "I'll come." As he spoke, he took the hammer, "Stop when you think you're enough." With that, he began to hammer the ice one by one.

When Zhao Kangcheng hammered the ice cube very much, Cai Xiaoxiao hurriedly shouted to stop: "Okay, Xianggong, it's okay." ”

Zhao Kangcheng stopped moving, and Cai Xiaoxiao motioned for Zheng Yi to grab the two corners of the cloth, while she herself grabbed the other two corners, wrapped the broken ice with the cloth, and then poured it into the box that had previously filled the ice.

After that, Cai Xiaoxiao took out sixteen bottles from the cupboard and said to them: "This is the fruit wine and juice I specially prepared for today, the fruit wine is thinking that it can be used to promote it at today's banquet, but I didn't expect you to bring ice cubes today, which can come in handy." ”

When Zhao Kangcheng and Zheng Yi heard her say this, they understood what she wanted to do, Zheng Yi said: "Sister-in-law, do you want ice cubes just to use to ice drinks?" ”

"Of course not, this is just one of the functions, it's really too sudden for you today, I didn't have the ingredients ready, and I don't have time to get it again, so I can only use it for chilling fruit wine and juice for the time being." Cai Xiaoxiao said as she put the bottles into the box one by one, and then closed the lid. Then she looked up, hooked her lips and said, "And don't underestimate my chilled fruit wine and chilled juices, which you enjoy drinking in the summer." ”

Hearing her say this, Zheng Yi became interested and said, "When my sister-in-law said this, I was very interested, so I was looking forward to my sister-in-law's iced fruit wine and chilled juice." ”

"Stay tuned." Cai Xiaoxiao smiled confidently.

After Zhao Kangcheng and Zheng Yi left the kitchen and returned to the crowd, Cai Xiaoxiao put the box aside, and then asked Zhao Xiaoli to go to the room to get a blanket.

Waiting for Zhao Xiaoli to bring the blanket, Cai Xiaoxiao wrapped the box tightly with the blanket, and then continued to prepare the dishes.

An hour later, Cai Xiaoxiao estimated that the time was almost up, so he began to prepare for cooking.

She plans to make a snack first - cold shredded chicken.

She said to Zhao Wangshi: "Mother-in-law, you help me put the chicken breast into the pot and cook it, and I will prepare some side dishes." ”

"Okay." Zhao Wang nodded, and then selected chicken breast meat from a pile of dishes, and when she took the chicken breast, she hesitated for a moment and asked Cai Xiaoxiao, "How much do you want to put it?" ”

Cai Xiaoxiao estimated - there are a total of eight tables of guests in the courtyard, and a small bowl of shredded chicken is placed on one table, and the amount of a bowl of shredded chicken is not very much, so it is probably needed: "Four is good." "The rest has to be cooked.

Zhao Wang took four chicken breasts, and Zhao Wu saw that they were starting to prepare for cooking, so he took the initiative to go behind the stove and prepare for the fire.

Zhao Kangqiang also wanted to help, so he asked Cai Xiaoxiao: "Sister-in-law, do you need us to do anything?" ”

Cai Xiaoxiao was taking four carrots and some fungus, heard them ask, thought about it, and then handed the carrots and fungus in his hand to them, and said with a smile: "Then please go and fetch a bucket of water, and then clean these, okay?" ”

"I'm going to fetch water!" The carrots and fungus were all held by Zhao Xiaoli and Cai Yan, so Zhao Kangqiang could only take the initiative to apply to fetch water, and ran out with the bucket after speaking.

Zhao Jie saw that they all had work to do, so he was anxious and hurriedly asked Cai Xiaoxiao: "Madam, what about me?" What am I going to do? ”

"Uh......" Cai Xiaoxiao thought for a while and asked tentatively, "Why don't you rest by the side first?" ”

"Huh? No, no, no. Zhao Jie waved his hand and refused, "I also want to help, madam, you can send me something to do." He looked at Cai Xiaoxiao with a pleading expression.

Cai Xiaoxiao couldn't bear to refuse when she saw him like this, but she thought that the child was too diligent and couldn't be idle.

She looked around for a moment, and finally pointed to a pile of vegetables to be washed, and said, "Why don't you wash them all first?" I'll use it anyway. ”

"Good!" Zhao Jie readily agreed.

The pot over there was already hot, Zhao Wangshi put in cold water, and then covered the lid, as if he wanted to heat the water first and then cook the chicken breast, Cai Xiaoxiao saw it, and hurriedly said: "Mother-in-law, just boil it in cold water, don't wait for the water to be hot." As she spoke, she quickly prepared the green onion and ginger slices with her knife technique.

Zhao Wangshi put the four chicken breasts into the pot according to her words, and then Cai Xiaoxiao then put the green onion and ginger slices into the pot and then covered the lid.

At this time, Zhao Kangqiang came over with a bucket of water, Cai Xiaoxiao walked over with a small basin, and said to Cai Yan: "After washing the fungus, soak it in water." ”

Cai Yan nodded hurriedly: "Got it, madam." ”

At this time, Zhao Xiaoli had already washed the carrots, Cai Xiaoxiao took the carrots, put them on the cutting board, and neatly shredded the carrots with a knife and put them in an empty bowl.
