305 cattle and sheep are done
Lin He had already come over with egg custard, and when he saw a few people, he hurriedly smiled and beckoned everyone to take a seat.
Xie Jiang motioned to the servant behind him and handed over the gift he brought to Li Changhui, it was not a valuable gift, just a pot of orchids, which were blooming at this time, the fragrance of the flowers was elegant, but it could spread far away.
Li Changhui put the orchid in the hall, and when he came back, the person had already left, Xie Jiang and his wife had already sat down, and Lin He was bringing a pot of wine.
It's not wine, the last time they were at Xie's house, Xie Jiang invited them to drink wine, and they still did this when they returned to the Qing Dynasty, which seemed a little inappropriate.
It is the best bamboo leaf green wine bought in the county, and the price is not cheap.
Xie Jiang is not a person who loves wine, and his eyes can't help but light up when he sees this.
At this time, Nuan Nuan was snorting hard, looking at the sweet and sour pork ribs in front of her, if it wasn't for Mrs. Xie to stop her, I'm afraid she would have already started it.
"There is no one to serve in our family, Boss Xie and Mrs. Xie are casual, don't be polite."
Lin He gave the wine to Li Changhui, and then sat down opposite Mrs. Xie, while Li Changhui sat with Xie Jiang and poured two glasses of wine by the way.
"Congratulations to Brother Li, sister-in-law, all the best for moving to the house, and a hundred years of happiness in a good day."
Xie Jiang raised his glass to congratulate, and Li Changhui drank it with a smile: "Thank you, let's eat first, the children are hungry, the food is simple, don't dislike it." ”
Xie Jiang hurriedly said: "This is not simple, they are all big fish and big meat, others don't know, but I know that Brother Li's things are not comparable to the outside." ”
Lin He first served a bowl of egg custard to Nuan Nuan and Mrs. Xie, and asked them to pad their stomachs first, and then eat vegetables.
Mrs. Xie took it with a smile: "Sister-in-law, don't call me Mrs. Xie, just call me Xiaoyu, Brother Li is commensurate with her husband and brother, you and I don't have to be so polite." ”
Xie Jiang also hurriedly said: "That's it, Mrs. Sister-in-law is the same as Brother Li, just call me Xie Jiang, don't call me Boss Xie, my father is Boss Xie." ”
That's right, in the grocery store in Yonghe Town, he is Boss Xie, but in Nanzhi County, he can only be regarded as a young owner.
Lin He took the opportunity to respond: "Okay, Xiaoyu, I heard that you like spicy and sour recently, try this chicken blood, sour and spicy, it tastes good, especially appetizing." ”
"Well, sister-in-law, you made it yourself, it tastes really good."
Although Mrs. Xie is a few years older than Lin He, she can't stand Li Changhui being older than Xie Jiang, Xie Jiang calls Li Changhui the eldest brother, and Lin He naturally upgrades her rank and becomes a sister-in-law.
Nuan Nuan ate a small bowl of egg custard, and her mother sandwiched two pieces of sweet and sour pork ribs and a little sweet and sour tenderloin on a small plate in front of her.
I didn't expect Nuan Nuan to be more than two years old, but she was also very neat when she ate by herself, her mother specially prepared a small bib, the ribs were directly gnawed, and the tenderloin was eaten with a small spoon.
After eating, I had a little steamed fish with a thorn, and ate two pieces of pheasant meat, but I didn't expect Xiao Nuannuan to like to eat taro in stewed chicken soup, and I ate two pieces in a big gulp, and I didn't even have rice.
Xie Jiang and his wife were surprised.
"It seems that Nuan Nuan likes the dishes made by her sister-in-law very much, and when she eats at home, she is not so active, unless she is tired and hungry, she has to coax for a long time every time she eats."
Mrs. Xie wiped her hands and mouth with a handkerchief to wipe her hands and mouth, which was very pleasantly surprised.
The little girl who usually bothers to eat at home doesn't need to be urged to eat today, even when she looks at it from the side, she feels that her appetite is much better.
Lin He smiled: "It's not that my cooking is delicious, it should be Nuan Nuan who also likes sweet and sour food, but these can't be eaten more, otherwise it's not good for your body to grow too fat." ”
Sweet and sour taste, which child doesn't like.
Mrs. Xie signaled Nuan Nuan, who had already gotten off the table, not to run around, and just played in the yard, and Xie Jiang next to her had already served her a bowl of chicken soup.
At this time, the meal was almost eaten, Lin He went to the kitchen to bring rice, because there were guests, she deliberately cooked white rice, instead of what she often eats at home, rice plus some brown rice, etc.
"By the way, Brother Li, the cattle and sheep you asked me for you last time are almost there, and there are about fifty sheep, which is relatively easy to find."
Xie Jiang took a sip of wine and talked about what Li Changhui asked him to do before.
During this time, the Li family was busy cultivating wasteland, and Xie Jiang was also busy slowly taking over the business in the county.
"Cows, it's not so easy, but I still got in touch with four calves, an adult cow, the family has recently had a change, and they need to sell cattle, and the price is right, twenty-eight taels, a four-year-old cow."
"It is said that in this case, it is no problem to reduce the price, but I think that the family has been really difficult recently, and Brother Li is not short of the one or two taels of silver, so he did not deliberately lower the price."
Li Changhui raised his glass: "Thank you, our fields are almost cleaned up, and we can send cattle and sheep over immediately." ”
"Okay, no problem, I'll order you to go down in the afternoon and let people send all the cattle and sheep over, if you want money, I'll let them give it first, and when it is delivered, Brother Li will give it to those in charge."
After all, many sellers are in other towns and villages, and it is very troublesome for farmers to make their own trips, so it is better to let them collect all the groceries and send them over.
He also often helps Li Changhui do this kind of business, but this time it is just a living business.
The two of them quickly settled on this matter, as for Xie Jiang making money from it, this is also normal, and he didn't have to let the family be busy in vain, looking for him was just to spend some money for convenience.
After lunch, Xie Jiang and his wife stayed for a while, chatting, and Lin He also took Mrs. Xie to see the twenty acres of vineyards.
When she learned that Lin He specialized in making grape jam, Mrs. Xie was very surprised.
Twenty acres, if all the grain is planted, how much grain will be harvested every year.
But surprise is surprise, this is not her own family's business, Mrs. Xie didn't say much.
At this time, the people who worked had been busy again, and Mrs. Xie had obviously never been to the field, nor had she seen how the crops were planted, so she was also very curious at this time.
If it weren't for her big belly, Lin He really wanted to take her to see it, but now, I can only talk about it later.
After turning around, Mrs. Xie was a little tired, Lin He hurriedly helped her back, and it happened that Li Changhui had just sent Xie Jiang out, Nuan Nuan had already fallen asleep in Xie Jiang's arms, and the couple took their daughter and said goodbye and went home.
After sending the two away, Lin He stretched: "I'm so tired, Brother Hui, you help find an aunt to clean up the kitchen, I'll go rest for a while, and I'll make food for a few children in the afternoon." ”
Today is a new house, the guests were invited to the luncheon, and it was time to treat a few of their little ones in the evening.
