446 Preparatory Preparations for the Appreciation Banquet

In fact, Su Qingluan is still very bad at hiding his thoughts. She knows what to say and what not to say, but she's not a deep-minded person.

So in front of some observant people, even if she doesn't know what she is thinking - after all, the generation gap of hundreds or thousands of years makes it impossible for the other party to understand even if Su Qingluan says some ideas, but her emotions are like obvious handwriting on a blank paper, clearly displayed in front of the eyes of others.

So when Su Qingluan, who had all kinds of ideas in his mind and didn't know where the crooked building was going, he was addicted to brainstorming and couldn't extricate himself, but he was pulled back to his senses by Wu Dani next to him with a "poof" laugh.

"Huh?" What is this man laughing at? Su Qingluan was a little unsure.

"Shopkeeper Su, although you usually look very shrewd and capable, but ......" Wu Dani couldn't help laughing, "I can't see it, your facial features are quite flexible." She watched Su Qingluan go from shy to sighing to indignant to high-spirited...... The changes in expression during this period are simply breathtaking.

In fact, Wu Dani was very curious about what kind of thinking Su Qingluan had, who could enrich her expression to this extent in such a short period of time, but after thinking about it later, she just did it - to put it bluntly, the two of them are not only fellow villagers, but also shopkeepers and employees, in the end, they must grasp the proportions, and the questions that should not be asked should not be asked.

“?” Su Qingluan's head was full of question marks: Why didn't she understand a little?

Looking at Su Qingluan's neat and calm appearance when she was working before, but looking at her blankly, Wu Dani's heart suddenly softened: It's only thirteen or fourteen years old......

Wu Dani didn't explain anything, only patted Su Qingluan's head, and sighed: "It's still a child...... and then said to the courtyard in front of you, "Isn't that your yard?" Let's go back quickly. ”

As he spoke, he asked Su Qingluan to stretch out her hand, and then-put down a few pieces of caramel in her palm.

When Wu Dani walked away, Su Qingluan reacted in hindsight - she herself should have been coaxed as a child?

A little speechless and a little happy, and a little inexplicable, Su Qingluan peeled off the candy paper and ate a piece of caramel specially given to himself-

"It's so sweet, it's so sweet......" Although Su Qingluan muttered like this, he didn't spit out the sugar, nor did he throw away the remaining caramel candy, but put it in his sleeve and went home with a big bag.

Now the jam that Su Qingluan originally expected has been made, but Yang's work of making winter clothes and Su Guangfu repairing the house is not something that can be done in a moment - after all, Su Qingluan only brought his parents into the gang halfway.

Originally, seeing that the two of them had to work in the cold weather, Su Qingluan was very distressed. However, Su Guangfu and Yang are both old-fashioned and warm-hearted people, and they don't mind being "pulled in" by their daughters.

It's better to say that after learning what Su Qingluan asked them to do, the two of them were very happy to do something for everyone, so not to mention that the two of them felt tired, they were full of interest one by one, and they were not too energetic!

As a result, now Su Qingluan has become the most idle person except Su Xueyan!

Some of the female needleworkers Yang hired were from Huaxi Village, and three or four were hired from the town.

After a few days of getting along, everyone is already talking and laughing, doing work and doing homely work, but it is very pleasant.

The Yang family gathered everyone in the hall, did not delay their work, and could take care of Su Xueyan at the same time, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone. It's just that this way, I don't bother with cooking dinner.

Fortunately, Su Qingluan has been free, so she is in charge of dinner these days.

But today, in addition to dinner, Su Qingluan has to do something else - the "thank you banquet" promised to Mu Xingzhi before is only two or three days left, and she always has to make some preparations.

In fact, when Su Qingluan left Mu Xing's house before, the other party once said that "all the raw materials are provided by us", but if you want to achieve the best effect, you must prepare in advance.

For example, dashi.

Many broths are even boiled for a day and a night, or even for days and nights. Su Qingluan didn't want to put so much effort into it, in the end, he should have prepared it a day in advance, otherwise when he waited until he was ready to use it, it would be a little worse in terms of taste.

So after dinner that night, Su Qingluan first salted the pork belly he bought, and then turned around and went out with a piece of salted meat that had been marinated.

"It's already dark outside, where are you going?" Yang asked behind him.

"Didn't you promise Mu Xing before...... Mr. Mu, thank you for your help during this period of time? It's easy to rest now, and I'm going to hurry up and fulfill my promise," Su Qingluan shook the salted meat in his hand, "The soup stock will be prepared a day in advance, so I will prepare the ingredients for tomorrow first." ”

Yang was refining lard, and the rich aroma of lard spread more and more with the fat meat, so that Su Xuanhe and Su Xueyan, who had already eaten enough, couldn't help but come under the windowsill of the stove room, and were scolded by Yang as a "little gluttonous cat".

Seeing Su Qingluan walking out of the house with pickled salted meat, he hurriedly beckoned Su Guangfu to hang a lantern at the door to prevent Su Qingluan from tripped over the threshold when he came back.

After Su Guangfu came back from hanging the lantern, Yang pulled him to the stove room, and whispered to his man with the crackling sound in the oil pot: "Do you say that it doesn't matter if our eldest girl goes to Mr. Mu so late?" ”

Su Guangfu looked inexplicable: "What does it matter?" ”

"This ...... After all, lonely men and widows ......"

"Isn't there still Songbo?" Su Guangfu didn't take this matter to heart, "Besides, there are more than one or two eldest ladies and little daughters-in-law in the village who are interested in Mr. Mu, and they still sit upright, and they don't have any rumors." ”

Yang nodded: "This is also ......" The most important thing is that as a mother and a woman, she intuitively feels that her daughter should not be enlightened, and she does not have any feelings for Mu Xingzhi.

Rather, she doesn't seem to have the same shy look towards any man as her peers.

Thinking of this, and thinking that in another year or two, the eldest daughter will reach the age of kissing, Yang couldn't help but have a headache: her daughter is restless, she is anxious, and her daughter is a piece of wood, and she is also anxious!

Su Mutou himself didn't know how his mother complained about her in her heart, she had just entered Mu Xingzhi's door - Songbo, who opened the door, and Mu Xingzhi was "cultivating".

However, it is obvious that this time the "cultivation" is a smoke bomb, and Mu Xingzhi himself is not there.

Su Qingluan asked Songbo to take her to the stove room, Songbo looked at the pickled salted meat in Su Qingluan's hand and smiled: "Didn't you say that the matter of ingredients does not need to be spent by Mrs. Su." ”

"I can't do it well for a while, and I don't know what other salted meat tastes like, so I still use it more easily - to make soup, you must always have a number of the bottom taste of the raw materials, otherwise it will taste wrong, and it will be too difficult to remedy it."

Su Qingluan explained.
