Chapter Twenty-Eight: Isn't Marriage Just for Eating a Big Feast [Two in One]
October 1st.
After breakfast, locking the door, Zheng Fei rode away on an electric car.
"Master Zheng is here."
As soon as he came to Lijiazhai, someone greeted him.
Zheng Fei agreed with a smile.
Seeing the eight luxury cars parked on the side of the road, Zheng Fei looked at the time, and the kiss hadn't left yet.
Li Tiesheng's family, who were busy, saw Zheng Fei coming over and hurriedly greeted him.
"Master Zheng, you're here."
Li Tiesheng's son Li Ning saw Zheng Fei coming, took out a cigarette and handed it over.
He came back yesterday afternoon, and happened to meet Zheng Fei marinating the beef.
Li Ning saw that Zheng Fei was so young, and he was a little skeptical of his craftsmanship.
Zheng Fei didn't say anything, just let him taste the beef.
Originally, Li Ning didn't take it seriously.
He's eaten a lot of beef, and no matter how delicious it is, it can still taste there.
Who knew that when he tasted it, his eyes widened instantly.
The beef was fragrant and tender, and it was the first time he knew that beef still had this taste.
It was only at this time that he knew why his father had called him over to make a big feast.
Zheng Fei waved his hand: "No smoking." ”
"What time are you leaving?"
Li Ning lit a cigarette and said, "Don't worry, I took my daughter-in-law to the city hotel yesterday." ”
It turns out that this is the case, and the blame has to be in a hurry.
The two said a few more words, and then Zheng Fei went to the kitchen.
Yesterday the ingredients were all processed, and today we just need to stew and steam them.
"Auntie, you're here early."
When he came to the kitchen, Zheng Fei found that the three ladies who came to help had already arrived.
"It's not early, we've just arrived."
"Master Zheng, how did you stew your elbow, it's too fragrant, our whole village was talking about this last night."
"Yes, yes, I brought my grandson back, but who knew that I could smell it at home.
You don't know if my grandson smelled this smell, whether he was crying and shouting for a feast, or if my son hit him twice. ”
As soon as she talked about this, the three eldest ladies became interested, and chattered to Zheng Fei endlessly.
Zheng Fei is very familiar with this kind of thing, after all, he will have this every time he burns a big banquet.
Putting on a chef's uniform, Zheng Fei looked at the ingredients that had been processed yesterday one by one.
Smelling nothing, he nodded.
When I came outside, I opened the lid of the pot, and my red elbows were lying neatly in the pot.
After soaking in the soup overnight, the inside of the elbow should have already tasted.
I pricked it twice with chopsticks, and I found that it was very smooth and pierced it.
The elbow is fine, and it will be put into the steamer later.
Beckoned the three ladies to bring the steamer.
Put the steamer in layers and start steaming.
It's already seven o'clock, and the braised chicken nuggets and braised pork ribs can be steamed in five hours.
On the top layer, Zheng Fei put the Four Joy Balls and the Lion's Head on top.
This stuff cooks so quickly that it doesn't need to be put underneath.
Pour the elbow juice over and cover with a lid.
"Auntie, you pay attention to the ignition, if there is not much coal, you can fill it up."
"Okay, don't worry."
The eldest lady patted her chest and said.
Just then, a crackling sound came from outside.
Hearing the sound of firecrackers, Zheng Fei knew that this was to pick up the bride.
After waiting for a while, Zheng Fei saw Li Tiesheng coming over with a bag of candy, peanuts and melon seeds.
"Master Zheng, sister-in-law, eat some candy."
Zheng Fei and the three eldest ladies put down the work in their hands and took a handful with a smile.
"Brother Li, congratulations."
Zheng Fei arched his hand.
Li Tiesheng was full of smiles.
There's no way, it's been so many years, and it's not for today.
Now that the son is finally married, he and his wife's biggest heart problem has disappeared.
"Master Zheng, you're busy, I'm going to entertain the guests."
When Li Tiesheng left, the three eldest ladies talked about melon seeds.
"This Tiesheng is really good, look at his son, he found him a daughter-in-law without making a sound. Unlike my grandson, who has not been found until now. ”
"Who says it's not, it is said on the Internet that there are few girls and more bride price, which makes many people afraid to get married.
Just like my grandson, he told me during the Chinese New Year that girls asked for too many bride prices, and he didn't dare to think about it, not even to find a girlfriend. This me off. ”
"By the way, Master Zheng, I heard yesterday that Xiaoxia is going to introduce you to a girlfriend?"
How did you get to me here?
Zheng Fei showed a knowing expression.
"Yes, that aunt told me about it yesterday."
After getting Zheng Fei's confirmation, the eldest lady sighed: "I still have good craftsmanship, and I don't have to worry about my daughter-in-law at all." ”
Hearing this, Zheng Fei laughed dryly.
Looking for a daughter-in-law? What kind of craft is that?
Talking and laughing, time passed quickly.
Li Tiesheng's family has many relatives and friends.
The far ones came early.
These people talked to Li Tiesheng and his wife, and then came out for a walk.
When they came outside, these relatives saw Zheng Fei busy in the kitchen, pulled Li Tiesheng's daughter Li Yun and asked, "Xiaoyun, why is this master so young?" Can't you find the master? ”
No matter how Zheng Fei wears it, his looks are bought and put here.
He has also burned a lot of big seats, and every time he will be questioned, but as long as these questioners have eaten his big seats, they will become his most loyal fans.
Li Yun has been working outside, and he only came back yesterday, and he was very curious when he saw Zheng Fei for the first time.
She asked her mother in the house, and her mother told him about Zheng Fei.
At this time, she realized that this young master would have such high cooking skills.
Especially when I ate Zheng Fei's marinated beef and pig ears, I was even more shocked.
She couldn't imagine that there was such delicious beef in the world.
She couldn't figure it out at the time, Zheng Fei's craftsmanship was so good, why did he nest in the countryside as a big master?
After Li Yun's third aunt listened to what she said, she took a closer look at Zheng Fei's appearance.
said: "The young man looks good, his height is good, his skills are even better, and I don't know if he is married." ”
When Li Yun heard the third aunt's words, he turned his head and smiled.
Her third aunt is saying that she is addicted to matchmaking, and she has to introduce young men and women to others when she sees them.
At this time, the relatives who had seen the wedding room walked out of the hall.
Liu Haiyan's eldest sister and second sister saw Liu Mei looking directly at the kitchen, walked over and asked curiously, "What are you two looking at?" How do you smell greedy? ”
Hearing the eldest sister's words, Liu Mei pointed to Zheng Fei, who was busy in the kitchen.
said: "No, I'm looking at Master Daxi." ”
Liu Haiyan's eldest sister Liu Hongxia and second sister Liu Lihua saw Zheng Fei and said in surprise: "So young? ”
"Sister, why did you find such a young master?"
Liu Haiyan popularized Zheng Fei's matter to them.
Hearing that Liu Haiyan praised Zheng Fei as rare in the world, both of them were a little unconvinced.
Seeing that the two sisters didn't believe it, Liu Haiyan said that she would know when they had dinner.
Zheng Fei had already seen them, and although he couldn't hear what they were saying, he could think of it.
It's nothing more than a matter of his age.
He's used to it.
After cutting off all the nails on the chicken feet, Zheng Fei opened the lid of the pot and found that the brine was boiling.
Pour the chicken feet in, flip them with a spatula, and close the lid.
The lady who was burning the fire smelled the smell of brine and asked curiously, "Master Zheng, what should I put in this braised chicken feet?" ”
The two ladies who were busy on the side heard this, and their ears pricked up.
They also wanted to know what was in such a fragrant brine.
Zheng Fei didn't know what they were thinking.
said lightly: "I didn't put anything either." It is cinnamon, bay leaves, dried chili peppers, star anise angelica and the like. ”
Zheng Fei didn't say anything wrong, he did put all these things, but he didn't say how much.
The three eldest ladies are all housewives, and they all cook good dishes, of course they understand that what Zheng Fei said is true.
didn't care what they thought, Zheng Fei put the fish into the oil pot one by one.
"It's time ~"
Hearing the sound of the oil pot, Zheng Fei felt that there were oil spots on his arm.
It's almost time, and the braised carp is about to start stewing.
As the dishes in the steamer begin to cook, tantalizing aromas waft through the air.
Many people have already come to Li Tiesheng's house, and adults and children are sitting under the shed.
Smelling this smell, whether it is fighting the landlord or playing the game, they all turn their heads to look at the kitchen.
Some of the younger children had smelled such a fragrance, crying and shouting that they were going to eat.
Hearing the child's crying voice, it is not good to embarrass the child's mother.
Although she also wanted to have a banquet, the time had not yet come, and the bride had not yet taken it, so how could she start the banquet.
After a period of excitement, everyone lost the heart to play.
Sitting on a stool, he glanced into the kitchen at every turn.
Seeing this scene, Li Tiesheng is familiar with it.
This was the case the last time he had a meal in Wangjiawan.
After thinking about it, Li Tiesheng came to the kitchen with water.
When I saw the chicken feet that had been marinated, I swallowed my saliva.
Obediently, this tiger skin chicken feet look too delicious.
This color, this taste, isn't this killing of people?
He can't stay in this kitchen, and he can't help it if he stays any longer.
Zheng Fei looked at Li Tiesheng's back suspiciously and shook his head.
How did this come and go.
It's weird.
When he came outside, Li Tiesheng called his son Li Ning and asked him where he was.
When I heard that I was almost home, I hung up the phone and went outside.
When Liu Haiyan saw her husband beckoning to him, she knew that her son was about to arrive.
Hurry up and grab your things and go out.
As soon as I came to the door, I heard a crackling sound on the road.
When Li Ning's children saw the car coming, they lit the firecrackers that had been prepared for a long time.
Under the sound of firecrackers, Li Ning walked out of the car with the bride in his arms.
Immediately after, the bridesmaids and relatives of the bride also got off the bus behind.
There were a lot of relatives on the bride's side, and the car couldn't sit down, so they rented a bus.
As soon as these people got out of the car, they smelled the scent in the air.
The bride was concerned about the smell of it, and her stomach gurgled.
Li Ning heard the voice and whispered, "What's the matter, hungry?" ”
Concern patted him lightly and whispered, "This smell is so fragrant, I'm hungry." ”
Li Ning smiled and said, "Don't worry, the banquet will start soon." ”
In the crowd, Wen Xia hung up her phone helplessly.
Originally, I promised her sister yesterday to let her come over for dinner, and I agreed, but who knew that I would suddenly go to work today.
It's a mess.
After all the procedures were completed, Li Tiesheng called the steward and began to sit down.
When the people who couldn't wait heard this, they hurriedly found a place to sit down.
Hall.
The bride had already sat down, next to her Fa Xiaoai and Guan Jie.
Ai shrugged his nose and said to the two of them in surprise: "It's so fragrant, my stomach growls when I smell this fragrance." ”
Guan Jie swallowed her saliva and whispered, "Is your husband's master here all this skill?" It feels better than our master Xi there.
I've eaten so many feasts, but I've never smelled anything like this. ”
Hearing this, the care on the side nodded.
Indeed, there is really no master there who can make such a big feast.
At this time, Li Ning came in to get tea.
Concern stopped him.
Li Ning walked over and asked with concern, "What's wrong?" ”
Concerned looked at the people sitting in the hall and asked in a low voice, "How is the craftsmanship of this master who makes a big banquet?" ”
"Very good, the master with the best craftsmanship in ten miles and eight towns. It's not easy to get him here. ”
Hearing Li Ning's words, he sighed with concern.
When Li Ning went out with the tea, the three of them chattered.
Kitchen.
Li Tiesheng walked over with a cigarette.
"Master Zheng, can you have a seat?"
Zheng Fei wiped his hands and said, "It's okay, do you want to start the banquet now?" ”
Li Tiesheng saw the braised fish in the pot, swallowed his saliva and said, "It's almost time, let's serve it now." ”
"Okay, I'll arrange it."
Zheng Fei beckoned to the three ladies and brought the tray over.
"Let's have a seat!"
For the wedding banquet, the first thing to do is to serve a bag of candy peanuts and melon seeds.
This is followed by the first course.
Hearing the opening of the kitchen table, the noisy people instantly quieted down.
Li Tiesheng came out of the kitchen and found that everyone had already held the chopsticks in their hands.
Look at him in my heart and call him a good guy.
Li Tiesheng took a look and found that the table was not full.
Forty-five tables, only forty-three were filled.
Two tables of dishes were empty.
Now I can finally have leftovers.
When Li Tiesheng thought of the big banquet he ate at Master Wang's house, people couldn't wait to gnaw on the plates, and there were no leftovers left for the master's family.
This time, he held a banquet, originally prepared forty-three tables, or did he talk to his wife and prepare two more tables.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to eat today.
"First course: braised carp."
"You're welcome, everyone!"
As the fish was served, everyone couldn't wait to eat.
"Well, this fish is so delicious."
"I can't imagine that such a young master can cook so well."
"No wonder Uncle Tie Sheng asked him to burn a big banquet, this skill is too top."
"I don't know how to make this fish, it tastes so good."
As the fish was served, I saw the chopsticks flying on the table, and some people waved the chopsticks into an afterimage.
As soon as the three ladies finished serving the first course of fish, when they came out of the hall, they saw that there was only an empty plate left on the first table in the courtyard.
Under the table, a black hook is eating fish bones.
The three ladies thought to themselves, "Didn't these people eat?" ”
When they came to the kitchen, the three ladies also told Zheng Fei about it.
Zheng Fei said with a smile: "This is normal, after all, it is now noon, and everyone is hungry." ”
The three ladies thought about it too.
Immediately, he put the second course on the tray and walked out.
