Chapter Forty-Six: East Out and West March
After eating, Zheng Fei wanted to take a nap, but who knew that he was pulled by Li Fengxia's aunt to play mahjong.
After playing mahjong for an afternoon, I only lost one dollar in the end.
After cooking some casual food and eating, Zheng Fei lay on the bed and fell asleep.
As soon as it was dawn the next day, Zheng Fei got up from bed.
I warmed up yesterday's leftovers, and after eating, I rode out of the house on an electric car.
"Xiaofei, why are you going so early?"
On the way, Zheng Fei met several ladies who came out to run.
"Go and make a big feast."
Zheng Fei responded from afar.
Looking at Zheng Fei's distant back, several ladies instantly had a topic.
Back in Huangzhuang, the sky was already bright.
When he came to Huangzhuanghou Village, Zheng Fei saw the big red word Xi on the telephone pole at the intersection of the village.
The word "happiness" was posted all the way from the intersection to Huang Qingming's home.
Huang Qingming's home had already put up streamers and festive stickers yesterday afternoon.
The helpers had already come, and Huang Qingming was pouring water back and forth with a teapot.
Seeing Zheng Fei coming, Huang Qingming put down the kettle in his hand, picked up a pack of cigarettes and a bag of sugar from the table and walked over.
"Master Zheng, I didn't expect you to come so early today, I thought you would come later today."
As he spoke, he handed over the cigarette and sugar.
Zheng Fei waved his hand.
"I'll take this candy, I don't want cigarettes, and I don't smoke."
Huang Qingming put the cigarette and sugar directly in his hand.
"This cigarette is a happy cigarette, you must hold it."
Get.
Since it was a cigarette, Zheng Fei also accepted it.
Zheng Fei looked at the person who was helping to move the furniture and asked, "Do you still need me to make this breakfast for you?" ”
It's just past seven o'clock, and these people shouldn't have eaten yet.
Huang Qingming shook his head and said with a smile:
"No need Master Zheng, we just had dinner."
"Okay, in that case, I'll clean up first."
When I came to the cooking place, several large iron pots were being held here.
From a large iron pot, Zheng Fei could faintly smell the aroma of meat.
It's the taste of elbows.
After washing his hands and putting on his chef clothes, Zheng Fei took a colander and opened the lid of the pot.
Looking at the elbow in the pot, Zheng Fei tried it with chopsticks.
Inserted effortlessly.
Nodding in satisfaction.
This elbow is fine.
Covering the pot, Zheng Fei took out the pork that he had cut yesterday.
Cut the meat slices into strips and chop them into minced meat.
This time he is only going to make one ball, Sixi ball.
Replace the lion's head with egg roll meat.
By the time he had finished the Sixi Balls, more than an hour had passed.
Call Huang Qingming over.
"Have you found someone to help?"
"I've found it, it's all neighbors, and they'll come over after dinner."
Zheng Fei looked at the time, it was already past eight o'clock, and it was time to come over.
"If you're not busy, help light the fire first, and I'll fry the meatballs."
Zheng Fei said.
Huang Qingming nodded, pinched out the cigarette in his hand, came to a clean pot and began to light the fire.
After brushing the pot and waiting for the water in the pot to boil dry, Zheng Fei poured the soybean oil on it.
"Master Zheng, do you want a big fire or a small fire?"
"Just burn it now, and I'll tell you when the oil is almost warm."
After burning for a while, Zheng Fei tested the oil temperature, and felt that it was almost there, so he put the meatballs pinched out into it.
"Zila~"
Hearing this sound, the oil temperature has arrived.
Next, Zheng Fei put the balls in one by one.
"It's so fragrant, what is this frying?"
"Oops, it's already busy."
As soon as the balls were halfway fried, Zheng Fei saw two middle-aged women walking in the distance.
Hearing the words of the two, Zheng Fei guessed that these two people were the neighbors invited by Huang Qingming to help.
Sure enough, Huang Qingming saw the two of them, stood up and said, "You just finished sending the child." ”
"Yes, just sent away, put the car down and we hurried over."
"You're not late, are you?"
"No, no, you're just in time."
"Master Zheng, I'll leave it to you here, I'll go and accompany the guests first."
Now that the helpers are here, Huang Qingming can't stay here anymore.
"Okay, you go get busy, just leave it to me here."
When Huang Qingming left, the two middle-aged women who were helping came over.
One of the ladies wearing a red plum blossom shirt said, "I didn't expect Master Zheng to be so young. ”
"yes, I thought I was helping when I looked at it just now."
"Are you married?"
"If I don't, I'll give you an introduction."
Zheng Fei held a colander in his hand, a little crying and laughing.
Good guys, how did you get there, people asked about this.
"Not yet, don't consider it now."
Hearing that he didn't have a girlfriend yet, Zheng Fei could clearly see that the two of them were interested.
At this time, Zheng Fei hurriedly said: "Auntie, be busy first, and then talk about it when you're done." ”
After all, it's still busy, and you can't waste time.
"Yes, yes, Master Zheng said yes."
After speaking, the two aunts also began to clean up.
Zheng Fei asked the aunt in the red plum blossom shirt to light the fire, and the other aunt smashed the garlic.
With the help of the two, Zheng Fei also freed his hands.
After frying the meatballs, Zheng Fei put the steamer on again.
Take the elbows out of the pot and put them in the basin one by one, then put them in the steamer.
The steamer on the sixth floor was full.
Closing the lid, Zheng Fei asked the eldest lady to burn the fire.
Clapping his hands, Zheng Fei said to another busy aunt: "Aunt Wang, let's rest first, I've been busy for so long." ”
The surname Sun is wearing a red plum blossom shirt, and the other is surnamed Wang.
Zheng Fei, the home of this Aunt Wang, is very familiar, it is in Wangjiawan, next door to Master Wang's house.
When chatting just now, Zheng Fei heard that her house was next door to Master Wang, but he was surprised.
That's a coincidence.
On the day Master Wang went out, Wang Xiumei also passed over as a neighbor.
Especially knowing that Master Wang's banquet was made by Zheng Fei, he enthusiastically introduced his girlfriend to him.
That enthusiasm made Zheng Fei a little overwhelmed.
If she hadn't been busy, maybe she would have brought the girl over for him to see.
"Auntie is not tired, she is resting when she is done."
Okay, let her go.
After washing his hands, Zheng Fei took out his mobile phone and looked at it.
WeChat was always ticking just now, and I didn't know who was sending him a message.
When I opened it, it turned out that someone in the classmate group was @ him.
Sitting on a stool in front of the board, Zheng Fei began to look.
There is not a lot of information, and I saw the beginning in a while.
After reading the information, Zheng Fei pursed his lips.
"Childish or not?"
It turned out that someone knew that he was doing a big banquet in his hometown and did not go to work in a restaurant.
For this reason, there are people who are yin and yang.
Seeing this information, Zheng Fei didn't care about it.
They know a fart.
How many of their students in this batch have already cooked after graduating from New Oriental?
No, they're all cutting piers.
As for him, word of mouth is about to spread all over the country.
Shaking his head, Zheng Fei put his phone away.
When the people in the group saw that Zheng Fei hadn't replied for so long, they knew that he was really burning a big banquet in his hometown.
Some people who are not good at mixing in the hotel also have thoughts in their hearts when they see Daxi.
Since they have skills, they can go to the countryside to mingle.
In particular, some people are from the countryside, and they know how to do it, and they also know whether Daxi earns money, and these people's hearts beat faster when they think of this.
"Master Zheng, your skills are so good, why didn't you find two people."
At this time, Wang Xiumei was also busy.
In fact, there is not much busy work, after all, Huang Qingming's family cleaned up for a day yesterday.
Zheng Fei stood up and asked Wang Xiumei to sit down.
Wang Xiumei waved her hand and asked him to sit, and she took a horse and sat down.
"That's the case, I'm too busy these days, and I can't find anyone, I want to wait until the National Day passes, and I'm not busy recruiting people."
"So that's the case, your skills are so high, and you've been really busy these days."
After all, he was the one who had eaten the big banquet made by Zheng Fei, and Wang Xiumei knew too well how busy he was.
"If you are recruiting, it is best to find someone you know, and it is best to know how to cook a large banquet, if you find two who don't know anything, you will have to teach from scratch when the time comes, it will be very troublesome."
Zheng Fei took a look inside the alley and found a group of men, women, and children coming over.
Looks like they're coming to see the fun.
Turning his head, Zheng Fei said: "Yes, that's what I thought, I also went to Master Wang's house at the end of September, his son Wang Ming is my classmate, and he also knows how to cook big dishes, I wanted him to do it with me, but unfortunately he had already gone out when I went."
I asked a lot of people in the village, but I didn't know his contact information. ”
When Wang Xiumei heard that Zheng Fei wanted to find Wang to come over to help him tomorrow, she also nodded in agreement.
"What you said is right, tomorrow is the most suitable for you, he has followed his father to make a big banquet since he was a child, except for his bad skills, he understands everything else, isn't this just right for you."
Zheng Fei said with a smile: "That's what I thought, but unfortunately I can't contact him." ”
"Don't worry, let's add a WeChat first, and when my aunt goes back, I'll ask you."
"That's a good feeling."
Hearing this, Zheng Fei hurriedly took out his mobile phone.
Sun Lihong, who was burning the fire on the side, saw Wang Xiumei's few words and asked Zheng Fei to hurry up and add WeChat, and she said in her heart that she had learned.
The two have known each other for so many years, she still doesn't know what Wang Xiumei thinks, she must have taken a fancy to Zheng Fei and wanted to introduce him to her relatives.
Judging from Zheng Fei's attitude at the beginning, he really didn't want to get married now.
I don't want to get married, but I can get in touch first.
There are very few young people with such good conditions, and if you don't introduce yourself to your family, wouldn't you be a fool?
As a matchmaker who said that she had succeeded in two pairs, Sun Lihong was bound to win Zheng Fei.
It seems that I will find an excuse to add WeChat when I am busy.
Just what excuse are you looking for?
Sun Lihong couldn't think of it for a while.
Surprise, if not surprised, then the joy.
Just as Sun Lihong was thinking about what excuse to use to add him to WeChat, Zheng Fei suddenly walked over with his mobile phone.
"Auntie, let's add a WeChat too."
Hearing this, Sun Lihong smiled and hurriedly took out her mobile phone.
Seeing her friends on WeChat, Sun Lihong's heart blossomed.
This man is really sensible.
Now it's okay, she doesn't have to make any excuses.
"Oh, it's cooking here, no wonder it's so fragrant."
"Grandma, I want meat."
Just as the three of them were resting, two people suddenly came from a distance.
One old and one young.
The old one is sixty or seventy years old, and the younger one looks to be about three years old.
Zheng Fei glanced at the steamer that began to emit heat outside, and knew that the child was attracted by the meat inside.
Zheng Fei thought that the old man would bring the child over.
Who knew that she actually stopped in the distance, I don't know what to say to her grandson, and the child stopped making trouble, so she walked around and went back again.
This kid is really good, he didn't cry.
When cooking big dishes on the National Day, it will attract many onlookers every time.
Especially for children, there are a lot of them.
Among them, I don't know how many are crying and clamoring to eat meat.
However, none of them were as obedient as the boy just now.
Zheng Fei thought about it carefully, and there was indeed none.
As time went on, more and more people came.
Several uncles and aunts I met at the entrance of the village yesterday also came over.
Zheng Fei was busy cooking, so they moved a bench and sat outside talking.
Listening to their conversation, Zheng Fei knew something.
Huang Minghao's daughter-in-law is from Pipa Village in the east, the girl is very tall, very beautiful, and the family is very rich.
Moreover, Huang Minghao almost became a son-in-law, but Huang Qingming and his wife disagreed.
Hearing this, Zheng Fei thought to himself, Huang Qingming is just this one son, how could he be his son-in-law.
Definitely won't agree.
Pipazhuang, more than 20 miles away from Huangzhuang, is not very far, and it is a matter of a few minutes to drive there.
Because I read the time before I got married, I also followed this time when I picked up my relatives.
When Zheng Fei made all four cold dishes, the team was ready to set off.
I looked at the time, and it was eleven o'clock soon.
According to their rules here, they have to go around to go around and come back.
East out and west in.
He went out from the east of the village and came in from the west of the village when he received the bride.
Huang Qingming saw the convoy leave and began to arrange for people to set the table.
I don't know if it's because the dishes made by Zheng Fei are too fragrant, but there are many people who come to drink the wine today.
A lot of people who didn't come and went here today.
This surprised Huang Qingming and his wife.
Huang Qingming looked at the list on the red paper, pointed to the names of several people and said, "Our family doesn't seem to have anything to do with them, right?" ”
Huang Qingming's wife, Zhu Peifen, said: "No, this is the first time I have come. ”
Huang Qingming nodded.
"I'll go over when their family is doing errands and return the money."
The countryside is like this, you come and go, you go to my house and I go to yours.
The relationship between people is more serious.
Seeing the people sitting outside, Huang Qingming began to calculate how much gift money he could receive today.
Zhu Peifen saw Huang Qingming in a daze and patted him.
"Don't be stunned, go to the kitchen and take a look, I saw a lot of people in Master Zheng just now, I'm afraid the three of them won't be able to watch it."
Huang Qingming knew what his wife meant.
In the countryside, there are good relations and there are definitely bad relationships.
It's the same with his family.
Today is the day of his family's big day, if someone moves a little, then his family will definitely be embarrassed.
Although such a thing is impossible, after all, as long as someone is discovered, the person who did it will definitely not be able to stay in the village.
After all, no one likes to destroy people on their wedding days.
Although the two do not deal with each other.
