Chapter Fifty-Eight: Red Eggs
"Master Zheng, have you eaten? Would you like to eat something here? ”
Liu Sheng didn't expect Zheng Fei to come so early.
Zheng Fei took the cigarette, refused the fire, and said with a smile: "I ate it when I came." ”
"You're welcome, if you haven't eaten, eat something here." Liu Wang came out of the hall at this time and said.
"Auntie, you can eat, don't worry about me, I really ate it."
Seeing that Zheng Fei didn't seem to be false, Liu Sheng laughed: "Then we'll eat, don't care about you." ”
Zheng Fei waved his hand: "Don't worry about me, if I don't eat, you're welcome." ”
Liu Sheng put down the broom and came to the kitchen with a bowl.
Zheng Fei saw that they were about to start eating, and he didn't stand in the yard, but came to the kitchen to get ready to work.
I checked the contents of the kitchen first and found that the ingredients had no taste.
Zheng Fei nodded slightly, relieved.
It's good if it doesn't smell.
Because of Zheng Fei's arrival, Liu Sheng ate quickly.
Before Zheng Fei started working, Liu Shengsheng finished eating.
Seeing Liu Sheng coming in, Zheng Fei glanced at him in surprise.
"Uncle, have you eaten? I'm busy here, you can go to dinner. ”
Zheng Fei thought he was here to help.
Liu Shengsheng said, "I'm done eating. ”
Hearing this, Zheng Fei subconsciously looked at the time, about five minutes.
Good guys, this meal is really fast.
"Master Zheng, what are we going to do?"
Zheng Fei came to the shelf where the steamer was placed.
"Uncle, let's take the steamer down."
Lift the bottom of the steamer basket down and place it on a large pot filled with water.
"Master Zheng, will this red egg be boiled later?"
Oh yes, and red eggs.
When the child is full moon, he should give a bag of red eggs to each table of guests.
In the past, the child's full moon master had to dye the eggs red with something outside, but now people are a lot lazy, and the eggs are not dyed, they are all washed and cooked directly.
Full moon wine, there is another name for them here, this name is called "sending bell rice"
"Send Jongmi"
Zheng Fei didn't know why it was called "Sending Zhongmi", he asked the old people in the village, and they didn't know either.
"The eggs are ready, right?"
Liu Sheng nodded and replied, "It's all ready, forty tables, eight eggs per table." ”
More than 300 eggs, to be boiled in a pot.
"When you're done eating, brush the pot and cook it in that pot."
"Oh, yes, yes, yes."
"Then wait to cook?"
"Just wait a minute, it's still early, it's boiled early, and the eggs will break in the pot after a long time."
"Also, then cook later."
Put hard dishes such as elbows, plum cabbage button pork, garlic pork ribs, and braised pork that were processed yesterday on the steamer.
At the top of the steamer, Zheng Fei's Sixi balls and pork egg rolls.
After making the steamer, Liu Sheng walked over and sat down and began to light the fire.
Seeing him burning the fire, Zheng Fei was about to ask him to bring the beef that was marinated yesterday, when he happened to see Liu Wei coming over.
Seeing his shiny size, Zheng Fei couldn't help but look at it twice.
How much hairspray wax is used on this big back?
On such a hot day, aren't you afraid to attract flies?
Liu Wei didn't see Zheng Fei's strange eyes, glanced at his father, and came to Zheng Fei's side.
"Master Zheng, do you want me to help?"
"Yes, you bring the beef, I'll cut it now."
Yesterday the beef was marinated, so they put it in the refrigerator.
When Liu Wei brought the beef over, Zheng Fei took a look at the color, yes, after leaving it overnight, the color of the beef became even more beautiful.
The deep red beef has an enticing aroma.
The smell is so faint that you wouldn't have been able to smell it if you weren't close.
"Master Zheng, have you run out of this beef?"
Liu Wei asked with some expectation.
Zheng Fei smiled, knowing what he meant.
"If you can't use it up, don't worry, there will be something for you to eat."
Because there are 40 tables, Liu Shengsheng buys food according to 42 tables.
I'm afraid that the ingredients will be damaged, and I'm afraid that I won't have enough of them.
Hearing Zheng Fei say that he couldn't run out, Liu Wei glanced at Liu Sheng, who was burning the fire, and then whispered to him: "Can you fill me a bowl when you're ready?" ”
Zheng Fei nodded, indicating that there was no problem.
Seeing Zheng Fei agree, Liu Wei was overjoyed.
Originally, Liu Wei looked a little ordinary, but this dress, and then smiled, good guy, even uglier.
"This big back is quite suitable for you."
Zheng Fei said against his will.
"yes, I think so too." Liu Wei heard Zheng Fei say that he was very suitable for big backs, and felt that he had found a confidant.
"Don't show up there, hurry up and wash the dishes."
Seeing Liu Wei "scratching his head and making a gesture" there, Liu Sheng couldn't see it, and picked up a burning stick and asked him to wash the dishes.
Seeing his father's face, Liu Wei ran away.
When he left, Liu Sheng smiled and said to Zheng Fei: "Master Zheng, do you think my forty tables are enough?" ”
Zheng Fei shook his head, he didn't know.
"Aren't you Paimen? I guess it's done, right? ”
Liu Shengsheng said: "Yes, I have calculated, plus the people in the village, and then add relatives, there are about thirty-five tables in total.
If you add in the drinkers of joy, forty tables is about the same. ”
"You said there should be no problem."
"There should be no problem before yesterday. Don't you know, since you left yesterday, many people in our village have asked me if I want to drink the wedding wine. ”
"At that time, I didn't know what the situation was, and when someone asked me, I said that I would let outsiders come and drink the wedding wine."
"I didn't care about it at the time, but last night, one of my buddies told me that there would be more people coming to my house for a wedding drink today, so I asked me to get ready."
"Do you think these dishes are enough?"
After listening to this, Zheng Fei asked curiously, "Do you know why there are so many people coming?" ”
Liu Sheng looked at him and said: "It's still because of the elbow you stewed yesterday, the fried things smell so fragrant, most of the people in the village have smelled it, and after they know that these fragrances came from his house, the people who were not going to drink the wine also decided to come over." ”
After listening to this, Zheng Fei didn't think that this matter had something to do with him.
Zheng Fei took a look at the ingredients, there were a total of forty tables, twenty dishes per table, plus Liu Shengsheng bought two more tables, it should be enough.
"It's almost enough, don't worry, the children have already gone to school today, and there are not many children coming, so it should be enough."
Yes, the children are all going to school today, and there will definitely be a lot fewer people coming.
When he counted the number of children, he counted the half-grown children, and if these children could not come, he would just let the drinkers sit.
Thinking of this, Liu Sheng breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, he counted the people, so he couldn't come down, and he didn't have to worry about the number of people who drank the wine.
As he spoke, Zheng Fei saw smoke begin to smoke from the cracks in the steamer.
Although the smoke was small, Zheng Fei could still see it at a glance.
Putting down the kitchen knife, Zheng Fei walked over to take a look at the fire.
"Uncle, the fire is smaller, the water is boiling, just make the fire a little smaller now."
Liu Sheng hurriedly picked up the fire and said, "Okay, I'll burn a little smaller." ”
Seeing that there was no problem with the steamer, Zheng Fei sat back and cut the beef.
