Chapter 287: The Purpose of the Ding Family
The gates closed at seven o'clock, and the horses traveled at forty miles per hour, which means that it would take them an hour and a half to return to the city on horseback.
Stir-fry at half past four, start the meal at about five o'clock, and leave after eating, which is very suitable!
The old hen is difficult to cook, and the cooking over the heat for more than an hour is just enough to chew, but fortunately, the focus of the bowl of chicken fir in chicken soup is not meat.
When Ding Xuewei stewed the braised rabbit meat, the oil-soaked meat would be steamed with the moisture in the rabbit meat, and the chicken fir could be placed in the cauldron on one side, and when the two dishes could be cooked, the rest had been put on the table.
She copied the miscellaneous mushrooms and chicken offal, the pumpkin and pea rice were made by Wang's, the beef ganba, the cowhide was fried by Li's, the scrambled eggs with wild onions were also made by her, and the rest of the cold salad was made by Xiao Li's handwriting.
The meal was ready but no one came back, Ding Xuewei hurriedly sent someone to shout, Xia Li took a lot of time to come, and it was almost six o'clock when the meal started.
Ding Xue pondered slightly, no one was in a hurry, there should be a way to enter the city after seven o'clock, or if they didn't plan to enter the city, they didn't rush it, and no one paid attention to this busy, when the wind blew up, when the sun was blocked by clouds.
"Bang~~"
White lightning pierced the sky, and a thunderclap fell.
The crowd of people who were eating attentively with the bowl were all shocked by this bright one.
"It's going to rain~"
Wen Jing broke the silence with a sentence quite excitedly.
Heavy rain left people behind.
Youyou turned her head, her eyes fell on Wen Jing's excited and forced calm and dignified face, and a sentence that toad also wants to eat swan meat came to mind.
It wasn't until Old Man Ding's group came back that Ding Xuewei finally understood that the Ding family did not come here for a good meal.
The Li family is here to pick a son-in-law, Wen Jing is here to pick a husband, the Wang family and the little Li family are here to curry favor with the future brother-in-law, and Ding Lao Wu, he is here to prevent his mother and sister from being embarrassed.
After the group of old man Ding came back, several female relatives of the Ding family were extremely enthusiastic, and Wen Jing, she also quietly looked back and forth carefully on a few teenagers, and finally, fell on Li Hongbao, who was dressed more luxuriously and extravagantly than the other three.
Men should marry women when they get married, in this world where they can be mothers at sixteen or seventeen, Wen Jing, who is in her early twelves and has stepped into the age of thirteen, is a big girl, and it is not strange to have a spring mind, and Li, a mother, is anxious for her daughter's lifelong happiness, and it is normal to be positive.
But this mother and daughter even dare to think of one of the best families in Fengcheng Mansion, so they are a little confused.
Not to mention, he also locked his eyes on the richest young master in Fengcheng Mansion!
"Wen Jing, you sit here."
With his aunt smiling, Li patted the other end of the bench and shouted.
Wen Jing shyly and timidly glanced at the figure at the other table with her back to her a few times, and finally, sat down next to Xiao Li with a red face.
These little teenagers are not low-key and gentle masters, and among them, Li Hongbao is the most.
If it weren't for peace and interest, he would sit on a bench with him, and Old Man Ding or the village chief would definitely be yelled at by him without giving him any face.
Wen Jing wants to be closer to others, and it is impossible to share the table with him, so it is interesting for Xiao Li to pat the bench.
Two tables close to each other, one west and one south.
Li Hongbao is in the west, Wen Jing is in the south, as long as he raises his eyes, Wen Jing can take Li Hongbao's silhouette into his eyes!
From the time she approached to the time she sat down, the little girl had glanced at her several times, and her whole face was flushed.
"Xuewei, come here."
Lee followed suit.
Ding Xuewei originally stood beside Xiao Li, but when she shouted, she had to change seats with Wang and walk to Li's side.
One table, eight seats, a bench for Wang's mother and daughter, Xiao Li and Wen Jing are on the side, Li is with Wanyi, and she is alone.
It's better to sit wide than to be full, Ding Xuewei likes it.
"Let's eat."
After the men's table started, Li whispered.
Food is not spoken, in the world of no wine table and table culture, eating is really not a worry, except for the sound of chopsticks and dishes colliding, slight chewing, and then there is no other sound, even if a few teenagers are amazed by the chicken fir fungus, but no one opens their mouths to ask.
"Boom~"
There was another thunderous sound, Ding Xue slightly withdrew her gaze to look directly at Wen Jing, and turned her eyes to look at her own peace on the back.
Coincidentally, An He also withdrew his gaze from the distant horizon.
"The conditions in the village are not as good as the Zhuangzi everywhere, but it doesn't affect the rest, I don't know if there will be a blessing to greet a few young masters in the future?"
The wind is blowing, the dark clouds in the sky are gathering, the lightning is thundering, and the experience of heavy rain in the first two rounds is afraid that it will rain for a few more days today.
A few days, but they are not willing to settle.
"It's enough trouble for Mr. An today, and the Zhuangzi at home is not far from here, so I won't bother much." Wan Qianchen, who had a slightly better temper, replied after looking at his companion's face.
This means that there is no need to prepare a place for them to live.
Halfway through the meal, the dishes on the table are quite attractive, and the rapidly gathering clouds are at a high level, although the lightning and thunder are intensive, but there is a tendency to shake in the air, and the rain will not fall for a while and a half, and a few babies will not be in a hurry to get up.
A few second ancestors who estimated that they would not be caught in the rain if they were full, the old god continued to eat on the ground, but Ding Xuewei couldn't sit still, and after sending the food in the bowl into his mouth, he stopped the bowl and stood up.
"Everybody hasn't eaten yet." Lee's warning whispered.
Ding Xuewei, who was full of mats, didn't notice it.
So, when she wanted to turn around, Li grabbed her.
"How can you be so rude, still holding a bowl!"
Ding Xuewei, who just wanted to rescue the rice seedling harvest, became the target of public criticism.
"Xuewei, why are you like this?!" Wen Jing, who was holding most of the bowl of rice, was about to cry, and the mist was thick.
Ding Xuewei was blamed for the black line: This is the time to pay attention to who eats more and who eats less?
At the same time, the person who serves the table first, the person who rests the bowl first, according to the theory, eats less, and I heard the people in the village say that in order to take care of the little girl, the face of the little daughter-in-law, when eating the banquet, the women will deliberately eat slowly, so that the little girl and the little daughter-in-law who are sitting together will rest the bowl first.
I have been wearing it for so long, I haven't eaten a banquet, and when I came again, when I was in Ding's house, Li's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law couldn't wait for their sisters and brothers not to eat, how could they detain them at the dinner table.
And after that, she had a lot of things to do, and she hurried to eat and work every day!
"Grandma, you eat slowly, I'm in trouble." Patiently wanting to roll her eyes, Ding Xue patiently explained.
Li can pull her, where can someone with understanding ability do it.
I saw her glaring at herself warningly, and the strength in her hand increased a little: "What can be bigger than eating?" ”
It doesn't matter if you eat or not, the important thing is to sit down and give her daughter a foil.
Ding Xuewei really had the urge to dump her.
"Get busy."
Old Man Ding's low and hoarse voice sounded on the side.
The Li family, who had been ignored by him for a long time, flickered, and finally let go of Ding Xuewei.
Ding Xuewei, who was not so anxious, immediately shouted: "Uncle Xia, you go ahead to see how many mats there are, Uncle Zhang, you go to the bamboo forest opposite the village and call everyone." ”
Several second ancestors brought two servants respectively, Zhang Qun and Xia Li were not amazed, and the accompanying characters were handed over to Chen Yun, and it was no big deal for the two of them to leave the table.
However, as soon as her anxious voice came out, not only the two people who were named stood up with the bowls, but even everyone at the table on the side also paused at the same time.
A roar every day, begging for tickets, asking for collections...
