Chapter 87: The Banquet (2)
Su Xiao'e naturally knew that Zhang Qinfen was joking with herself, so she couldn't help but smile and make a grimace at Zhang Qinfen.
"Mom, I'm just hiding it, if you make it better than me, you won't think I'm good when you look back."
"You Nizi."
Zhang Qinfen scolded with a smile and began to pick up the dishes.
In addition to the pig's large intestine, Su Xiao'e marinated the pork ribs she bought, and wanted to make them braised for a while.
In addition to braised pork ribs, Su Xiao'e cut the pork she bought into slices of meat, planning to make boiled pork slices later.
The dish of boiled pork slices, in this place, there is still none, Su Xiao'e will make this dish, or because there was a neighbor next door who used to be a chef in a large family, and then because the ingredients of that family were not good, he was forced to lay off.
So Su Xiao'e can cook so many dishes, and a large part of the credit is still the credit of the neighbor, but the neighbor's son and daughter came out and worked as a worker in the city, so he was taken to the city to enjoy the blessings.
Zhang Qinfen looked at Su Xiao'e, who was busy in the kitchen, and her previous worries were still spoken.
"Xiao'e, because there were many people before, I didn't ask, Xiaowan went to school, is this money enough?"
The money she left over from selling braised pork before was used to pay for Widow Xu's hospitalization, and now she has almost no money in her hands.
And Xu Shaohua didn't have anyone to ask him to work during this time, and now it can be said that he is penniless.
Speaking of this, Su Xiao'e was still a little worried.
Although she has a little money in her hand, the tuition fees and miscellaneous fees paid for this school are not a small amount.
But in order not to worry her mother-in-law, Su Xiao'e still hid the worries in her heart.
"Mom, don't worry, I didn't take over the factory to make clothes before, and now I still have some money in my hand, besides, the money from the hunting and selling of construction during this period of time has been given to me, you don't have to worry about the money."
When Zhang Qinfen heard this, most of the big stone in her heart was finally put down.
By five o'clock in the afternoon, most of the people invited by Zhang Qinfen had begun to come one after another.
Everyone had a very tacit understanding, only one or two came, and not too many people came.
After all, everyone has nothing to eat at home now, and it can't be said that someone else invited it, just a big family's past, who can stand it.
The people who came early also spontaneously helped to start.
The kitchen was lively, and when Xu Shaohua came back from outside, he saw that the house was lively.
"Qinfen, what's the joy of the family?"
"Happy event, great happy event, I'll tell you later."
Zhang Qinfen brought the washed dishes into the kitchen, and did not forget to leave Xu Shaohua with suspense.
This Xu Shaohua is usually more indulgent to his daughter-in-law, but now seeing that his daughter-in-law is so happy, he also follows the smirk of "hehe".
At half past six, Su Xiao'e prepared all the dishes, in addition to the dishes just mentioned, Su Xiao'e also made a fried ball, as well as pig blood, and fried bacon with garlic sprouts.
Of course, in addition to these, side dishes are also indispensable, Su Xiao'e made a cold leek, plus a fried eggplant in sauce, and boiled radish with big stick bones.
The guests who came to visit saw these dishes, their eyes were full of golden light, this Xu family invited guests, but they were all hard dishes, not to mention the small dishes, just say that the pot of pig intestines, it is enough to make people's mouths water.
Not to mention that Su Xiao'e deliberately boiled more than a dozen eggs in order not to waste those brine, and as soon as she put them inside, the fragrance of the eggs came out.
This egg, Su Xiao'e counted the number of people to cook.
"Qinfen, why hasn't your son Jianshe come back yet, he doesn't know that your family has a treat today?"
The village chief looked at the watch in his hand, it was six o'clock, everyone had already placed the dishes, why hadn't Xu Jianjian come back yet.
Su Xiao'e was still angry with last night, and when she heard the village chief say this, she deliberately muttered her lips and said:
"Village chief, don't worry about him, when it's almost over, he will come back by himself, you eat first."
The village chief wanted to say something, but Zhang Qinfen next to him also echoed and said:
"Let's eat it, everyone, it's not delicious when it's cold, it's rare for my daughter-in-law to make such a table of dishes, don't waste her mind."
With that, everyone began to eat.
Because there was only a little more than one table of people at the banquet, everyone could still sit down when crowded, so they did not sit at separate tables.
Xu Shaohua, who was next to him, found his private collection of old wine and began to pour wine towards the village chief.
"Village chief, come and drink, this is a good wine I have hidden for many years."
"You should celebrate with your good wine."
At this time, Xu Shaohua didn't know what to celebrate, so he looked at everyone looking at himself with a smile on their faces.
It made him a little embarrassed.
"Daughter-in-law, what happened to the family that makes you so happy."
Zhang Qinfen ate the dishes with a smile on her face, and then said slowly:
"Isn't it worth rejoicing that your daughter has been admitted to high school?"
"Got in, Xiaowan, you're so good, you've been admitted to high school, which high school, is it the county No. 1 middle school?"
The village chief couldn't help but be a little amused when he looked at Xu Shaohua like this.
He patted the man who was a little excited, and raised his wine glass and toasted to Xu Shaohua.
"Shaohua, I didn't expect that it was also a raised child, how could a pair of children in your family be so good, teach me how to raise them."
"Village chief, isn't my family because his father has the ability, so the children born are also capable."
When these words were spoken, everyone present began to laugh.
"You're still boasting about it, isn't it that your sister-in-law has the ability, just like your bear, you can't find someone like your sister-in-law, how can you have such good children."
"That's that, or my daughter-in-law."
While they were boasting about it, there was a knock at the door.
As the door opened, Xu Jianshe walked in.
What makes people even more unbelievable is that Xu Jianshe is holding a large bouquet of wildflowers in his hand, and the surroundings of this wildflower are mixed with all kinds of wild grasses.
In that case, I can't say it's beautiful, I can only say that it can be seen.
Everyone looked at Xu Jianshe in surprise.
Xu Jianshe was also embarrassed at this time, he deliberately waited until it was almost dark before he was embarrassed to come back with such a large bouquet of flowers, but he didn't expect so many people to sit at home.
"Well, what, I'll go back to the room first, and you eat first."
Xu Jianshe went back to the room without embarrassment, and when he came out again, there was still no expression on his face, but Su Xiao'e had been with Xu Jianshe for a long time, and he knew that he must be awkward in his heart now.
A big man holding so many flowers appeared in front of so many people, a proper social death scene.
