At this time, Aunt Zhao suddenly patted her head and shouted.

"Oops, I forgot about serious things!"

After speaking, she ran to the firewood room, and before leaving, she pulled the peach blossoms that she was eating hard, and she almost choked on a mouthful of rice that she hadn't swallowed in her mouth.

"Ahem, mother, what are you pulling me to do?"

"Here, you'll know!"

Peach Blossom followed her, and the two of them walked out together after running out of ink in the firewood room for a while, and came out with two plates in each hand.

Qi Ling's eyes were sharp, and he saw that it was just a few dishes at noon, but hadn't he eaten all of them? How can there be any leftovers?

Aunt Zhao pursed her lips and explained with a smile.

"We originally made a large portion of these four dishes, and after filling all the plates, there was still some leftover, so I kept some, thinking that we could eat it when we finished cleaning up, but who would have thought that I would forget about it with such a broken memory."

"Just now, Peach Blossom and I have already heated up the dish by the fire on the stove, everyone has been busy all morning, let's also taste our results."

After saying that, the two of them put a few plates in the center of the table, although the dish has been heated once, but it still looks like it has just come out of the pot, which makes people very appetizing.

"That's just right, I've always wanted to try Uncle Zhao's dumplings, I thought I would have to wait a long time to eat it if I missed this time, but I didn't expect that there would be this blessing to eat today, so I'm welcome."

After speaking, Qi Ling first picked up a meatball with chopsticks and put it in his bowl.

As soon as this dish was served, Qi Ling found that this steamed ball was a bit interesting, and it was very different from his original idea.

Why?

Qi Ling only saw Uncle Zhao first shape the meatballs with boiling water, and then fried them in the pot, she originally thought that this was already done, and it was a finished product in her mouth.

But at this time, it seems that this meatball seems to have one more process, and it should be stewed for a while with a little oil and some seasonings and starch.

This is equivalent to this dish of boiled meatballs, in fact, it has gone through three processes: boiling meatballs, croquettes, and stewing meatballs, which sounds a little complicated.

You must know that it is a modern famous dish, Sixi meatballs, which only need to be fried and then steamed, these two processes.

Therefore, Qi Ling was very curious about the taste of this ball, and wanted to know what difference it tasted from what he usually ate.

She stretched out her chopsticks, picked up a meatball in the bowl, and took a bite gently, the first thing that was felt by the tip of her tongue was the very thick sauce outside, the sauce was rich and salty.

This is followed by the deep-fried and crispy layer of meat shell, and once you bite into it, you will find a soup and a tender meat filling.

The three flavors and layers linger in the mouth, and they are indeed more delicious than the croquettes that Uncle Zhao just made before.

In this way, the three processes spent are worth it.

Seeing that Qi Ling was eating with relish, everyone was no longer polite, and they all moved their chopsticks to their favorite dishes.

This fragrant claypot rice is paired with these dishes that are full of color and flavor, and everyone is satisfied with this meal.

As far as the eye can see, everyone's bowl is clean, and there is not even a grain of rice left, which is very much in line with the modern so-called "empty plate action".

After eating, Gu Jinfeng and a few people were busy returning these tables and chairs first, while Aunt Zhao took a few women, as well as Qi Ling and Peach Blossom, to start a long dishwashing operation.

She divided several people into several groups, some of which were used to wash off the oil stains in the dishes and chopsticks for the first time, and some were responsible for washing off the remaining plant ash on them.

The remaining two people are responsible for washing the dishes, chopsticks, plates, etc. with clean water, controlling the water, and visiting.

To talk about this era, it's really inconvenient to do anything,

Not only can you brush an oily plate with plant ash, and the smell is not too good.

Qi Ling was holding a plate in his hand and rubbing it, imagining it in his heart.

If you only have a bottle of dish soap now, you only need to gently drop a few drops into this large basin, and you can wash it cleanly, and you can have any fragrance you want.

It's a pity that there isn't one yet, so Qi Ling can only resign himself to rubbing the plate with plant ash.

But although it doesn't work well or smell, at least it can wash the dishes.

By the time everyone had almost washed up, it had been two or three hours since the end of the feast, and the sun had already set in the west.

The whole sky was dyed orange, and the people who were still busy in the courtyard were covered with a thin veil.

Wait until Gu Jinfeng returns all the things he borrowed from the clan today, and calculates it clearly.

Qi Ling called all the people who came to help today, and thanked them with sincerity on his face.

"Thank you very much today, especially Uncle Zhao, if it weren't for you, Gu Jinfeng and I would have done so many things, I'm afraid there would have been a lot of jokes."

Especially Qi Ling, she didn't know anything about today's Shangliang, so she didn't prepare any nails or red cloths, and Gu Jinfeng didn't notice this.

If it weren't for Aunt Zhao's fear that the two of them were too young and didn't understand the rules, she deliberately got up early in the morning to explain to Gu Jinfeng, and the two of them would really be dumbfounded in the end.

Even the nails and the red cloth were prepared by Aunt Zhao when they got up early in the morning, so Qi Ling was naturally very grateful to her.

There are other jobs in the workshop that are also like this, today it is clear that Qi Ling's matter is regarded as a very important thing, and everyone is very serious, which makes Qi Ling very grateful in his heart.

Hearing her say this, Aunt Zhao's family retorted.

"We're so close, what do you say thank you, if that's the case, won't our family say thank you when we see you?"

"Yes, your Uncle Zhao's illness is still something you want to cure, who are we going to do it."

Even Uncle Zhao, who has always been bad at words, spoke up.

"Qi Ling, don't say that, our family inherits more love from you, and besides, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, our two families are so close, your aunt and Gu Xiaozi's mother got along well before, and they can be regarded as half relatives."

The rest of the workshop work also began to talk nonsense.

"That's right, the owner, you treat us so well on weekdays, if we don't help with this little favor, wouldn't you be a heartless person?"

"That's right, I said yesterday that I was going to come to your house to help, and my mother-in-law and father-in-law told me to look at me a little bit and do more work."
