The group walked into the courtyard, which was now bustling, and although there were no sheds, several round tables had been set up.

Someone was sitting at the table talking at this moment, but it was probably not officially lively yet.

After all, tomorrow is the wedding.

Xia Zhi saw Gao Yanbin's uncle and aunt again.

People greeted her politely, and then they were busy greeting relatives, obviously the summer solstice is coming, that is, the identity of a cook.

Gao Yanbin saw that his uncle and aunt's attitude towards Xia Zhi was very perfunctory, and he felt a little uneasy, for fear that Xia Zhi would be angry, so he followed Xia Zhi to the kitchen.

"Xiao Xia, don't be angry because of this.

My aunt and uncle don't look down on you, you're so busy today. ”

Xia Zhi looked at the kitchen, there was no one in the kitchen at this time, and the chef brought his own hands to make the flowing water mat, and she was simply alone at this time.

Obviously, the other party didn't think of sending her a helper.

Xia Zhi smiled absently, and said while rolling up his sleeves to find an apron.

"Gao Yanbin said nothing, we are friends, if I really care about this, turn around and leave.

Either find me two to do it, or you'll have to do it yourself.

You can't let me do it alone, right?

And no matter what the ingredients are, let them all move over!

I'm starting to prepare now, and although I won't have a running water table today, the people who come to help will have a meal in the evening.

At noon, I make them a table for tomorrow's menu, let them try the dishes in advance, and if there is anything inappropriate or unruly, let them bring it up, and I can change the menu in the evening. ”

Xia Zhi has a bottom in his heart.

I am not afraid of cooking, but what I am most afraid of is that the other party deliberately makes things difficult.

Hearing this, Gao Yanbin hurriedly said,

"Okay, no problem, I'll help."

In fact, Gao Yanbin and his aunt's relatives are not very familiar with each other, so he came to help at this time, mainly for the sake of his uncle's face.

When he went to call for help, he also instructed them not to move, so it was better to simply help himself.

Gao Yanbin moved all the things in the room next to him, and sure enough, there were a lot of materials prepared by the production captain's daughter-in-law at home.

Chicken, duck, fish, and various vegetables, although it is winter, but the preparation is quite complete.

Two bags of white noodles were prepared.

This year, in the village, the wedding banquet of this specification is quite a row.

Xia Zhi first instructed Gao Yanbin to start chopping the meat filling, and the dumplings must be prepared tonight.

The banquet in the countryside must be steamed flower steamed buns, and the flower steamed buns will be served only during the New Year's festival and when there is a festive feast.

It is usually steamed out one day in advance, and the banquet at noon is not left to worry about for the time being, and now it has to be sent first.

Fortunately, apparently the host has also prepared some guys in advance.

Xia Zhi hummed tiredly and put two pots of noodles next to the stove, covered the lid and woke up, and then began to prepare the noon meal.

Now everything is checked out.

Today the materials for tomorrow have been prepared, and the things at hand can be seen as ten chickens, ten ducks, and ten fish, and half a fan of pork.

A sheep, 50 pounds of beef.

Plus cabbage, potato vermicelli, radish, and bean sprouts.

There's nothing fine these days.

There are also about ten pounds of eggs.

Looking at these things, Xia Zhi was also a little worried, and there were not many tricks to tidy up the meals at a banquet this year.

Chicken, duck and fish are easy to make, but vegetarian dishes are not easy to make.

Fortunately, there are a lot of dried vegetables, daylily, fungus, shiitake mushrooms, winter bamboo shoots and the like.

It can be seen that this family has also spent a lot of money to prepare.

Xia Zhi was worried about how many dishes there were at this table, and at this moment, he saw Gao Yanbin's aunt who had just received them walk in a little nervously.

"Comrade Xiao Xia, are you all busy?"

Seeing the two of them busy in the house, the moment they saw Gao Yanbin, the aunt's face was slightly embarrassed.

Asked relatives to help, and ended up asking a young man to help in the kitchen.

"Auntie, we are preparing, if you have anything, please tell us quickly."

"Oh, you're a guest, how can I let you help here for a while. Call your two sisters over and let them do it. ”

Gao Yanbin didn't stop the knife, chopping the meat on the board, and said with a smile,

"Auntie is polite to me, we are all a family.

My sisters know relatives and friends, and it's more convenient to greet guests, but I don't know anyone, and it's embarrassing for you to say that I went to the scene.

Why don't you help out here with something practical? Besides, Xiao Xia doesn't know anyone. ”

Gao Yanbin was originally a man and could speak, which immediately made the embarrassment on his aunt's face fade.

A little more genuinely smiling.

"Yanbin! Thanks to your help this time, if you hadn't helped find Comrade Xiao Xia, I'm afraid it would have been really troublesome this time.

Your uncle and aunt remember your kindness, and our family will never treat you badly in the future. ”

"Auntie, how much have you and my uncle helped me? I am truly thankful. Helping me a little bit isn't enough to show my gratitude, what's that? Auntie, don't be polite to me. ”

In front of Xia Zhi, these words immediately made my aunt's face shine.

Immediately smiled a little more at this nephew.

Li Wanhua turned her head and said to Xia Zhi.

"Comrade Xiao Xia, that's the case, I'm afraid you have to make a decent banquet at noon, even if tomorrow's banquet is not good, it doesn't matter to us, this banquet at noon today is very important."

Xia Zhi was stunned for a moment, looked up at Li Wanhua, and instantly understood that it should be an important guest from their house, and this guest has a different identity.

"Comrade Li, how old is the guest who came at noon? How many people are there? What are your hobbies?

If you don't know his hobbies, you can tell me where he's from, so I can get a rough idea of what to eat according to my eating habits. ”

Since you come to cook, you naturally have to do it to people's hearts.

When Li Wanhua heard this, she was stunned for a moment, but her eyes showed approval, she didn't expect this female comrade to be so meticulous, and she couldn't even think of these words.

"You wait, I'll go out and ask."

Li Wanhua hurriedly went out, and after a while, she came in with a big basket.

The basket was tightly covered with a quilt.

"Xiao Xia, this basket is the fresh food they specially brought from the city, and they are all rare special dishes.

I heard that there were three people coming this time, an old man, an old lady, and one was his uncle's immediate boss. ”

"I heard that their family is a real Xishan person, and the old man likes to eat heavy flavors.

The old lady likes to eat sweet, and their specialty there is old vinegar.

I guess it's okay to have a sour mouth. ”

Xia Zhi heard this and nodded.
