Chapter 166: The Banquet
On March 20, the Ye family's new house was completed, and the family turned over the yellow calendar and discussed the banquet on the 26th of this month to invite the township to warm the house.
However, at the age of twenty-one, the people of the Ye family all moved over.
On the left side of the first floor of the main house live Ye Zhengwen and Chen Yunniang, on the right is Chen Xueniang, and on the second floor, from left to right, there are Ye Yunzhong, Ye Yunshu, and Xiao Mingting's rooms.
The Zhou family lives in the ear rooms on the left and right sides of the main house, and the ear rooms are also very spacious, about the same size as the rooms in the old house.
Although the house is finished, there is only a basic bed, a wardrobe and other furniture in the house, and it will not be ready until the 24th.
Speaking of furniture, when Master Guo sent the bed two days ago, Ye Yunshu and Ye Li had a quarrel.
Ye Laosan is doing carpenter's work, but Ye Yunshu did not look for Ye Laosan but found Master Guo from Dayao Village, Ye Li naturally felt unhappy, and went directly to the door to block Ye Zhengwen, pointing at Ye Zhengwen's nose and scolding, scolding for half an hour.
Ye Zhengwen didn't dare to contradict, so he was scolded by Ye Li's family, and Ye Li's family scolded him for being angry, so he began to scold Chen Yunniang.
Even the child in Chen Yunniang's belly was given the title of wild seed, Ye Yunshu just came back from the workshop, and he couldn't help it, how Ye Li scolded, she replied, no matter if she was ugly or not, anyway, in the end, she succeeded in making Ye Li angry.
"Sister, our family is really big!" Ye Yunzhong sat on the steps outside the main room, supporting his chin with one hand, "It's a pity that Brother Mingting is not at home, and I always feel that something is missing." ”
Ye Yunshu also felt this way, but she wouldn't follow what Ye Yunzhong said, and poked Ye Yunzhong's forehead, "At a young age, I think about it all day, and I don't eat it for a long time, you look at Xiaoyin, now she is a fingertip higher than you." ”
Ye Yunzhong turned his head to look at Zhou Fangyin, and sighed again, "No way, this is the gene you said, Sister." Xiaoyin's father is much taller than our father. ”
"I said genes?" Ye Yunshu frowned, why didn't she remember?
"Yes. Ye Yun nodded, "It was last year when Aunt Zhang said that Sister Xiaoru was taller than you, and you said that there was a genetic problem." ”
Ye Yunshu: ......
"Erlang, how much money have you saved?" Ye Yunshu squinted, "It's been three months since the New Year, how much have you saved in three months?"
Ye Yunzhong's eyes were dodgy, and he lowered his head and stopped talking.
"Sister come and guess. Ye Yunshu leaned closer, "Is there no penny left?"
"No, no, no. Zhou Fangyin spoke before Ye Yunzhong, "Brother Erlang still has eight cents." ”
"You!" Ye Yun was very angry, "You are so stupid! Sister doesn't even know if she is talking nonsense!"
Zhou Fangyin tilted his head and looked innocent.
Ye Yunshu grinned proudly, "Erlang, what did you promise Sister before?"
Ye Yun hung his head and defended, "Sister, I really don't know how to use it, obviously there are a lot of them, and if I use them, I won't be able to use them, I don't think I bought anything......"
"Could it be that the money went to someone else's hands by itself?"
Ye Yunzhong said seriously: "It may have its own ideas. ”
Ye Yunshu: ......
"Yun Shu. Let's see if the water you soaked can be used. ”
Ye Yunshu raised his head, "Okay, auntie, you take six eggs first, and I'll come over immediately." ”
Chen Xueniang should go down.
Ye Yunshu glanced at Ye Yunzhong, "I'll settle accounts with you when I go back." ”
When I came to the west wing, when I opened the door, there was a faint pungent smell on the surface, and there were six wooden barrels on the ground, each of which was filled with a bucket full of grass and wood gray water.
Ye Yunshu put eggs in the bucket one by one, and four buckets of eggs floated up, and Ye Yunshu marked them.
"These four will be ready for tomorrow. Ye Yunshu took gloves and picked up all the eggs and put them away, "Tomorrow Da Niu will come over and tell him to buy two hundred catties of plate oil and come back." ”
Two hundred catties of oil can boil about eighty catties of oil, and finally can make almost twenty catties of soap, just enough to fill the mold.
In April, the sausages stopped, and the women in the second group could make canned dishes or make oil, and the men in the third group would do the churning.
Ye Yunshu has made soap twice, and found that the longer the stirring time, the better the quality of the finished product, but this is particularly laborious and physical, and women really can't come, and they have to be physically strong.
Tomorrow, I'll let three groups of people try to see if they can do it, and it's better to arrange it in April.
In a blink of an eye, it was March 26, the day when the Ye family feasted on the township.
The Ye family's new house has always attracted much attention in the village, and when it was not completed, people went to see Zhang Dahai's construction progress every day, and many people were very red-eyed.
The big brick house, or such a big brick house, who has ever seen such a good house in the village?
Yes, on the twenty-sixth day, it can basically be regarded as the whole village dispatched, and even the Zhang family came to join in the fun.
Ye Yunshu specially invited two skilled village cooks from Dayao Village, and the workshop happened to be on holiday, and more than a dozen women came to help on their own.
Ye Yunshu said that no one asked for the salary of forty Wen.
"Tiger girl, what kind of wages do we townsfolk want. ”
"Yes, Yun Shu. In the past, everyone didn't pay for helping, so you don't have to be so polite, just don't take our share of the money. ”
Ye Yunshu was a little embarrassed, "But after all, there are too many things, and the aunts are so tired." ”
"What's so tiring! There are so many of us, and one person can divide a little bit quickly. Ye Lushi smiled, "You, just go to the front and say hello, I just saw that the Chen family seems to be coming." ”
Ye Yun shook his head, "Then work hard for aunts." ”
Several women waved their hands at Ye Yunshu with smiles, urging her to hurry up and take a look.
Ye Yunshu came out of the kitchen with a smile, just in time to see Chen Yu's and Lu's ready to come over to help.
"Grandma, auntie. Ye Yunshu called out and stepped forward quickly, "Why did you come here?"
Chen Yu glanced into the kitchen, "Let's come over and see if there is anyone who can help." ”
Lu also stretched his neck to look, but he didn't see anything, but he saw people in piles of people, coming in and out.
"How many people have you asked to help?"
Ye Yunshu smiled, "I invited two cooks from Dayao Village, and the aunts came to help by themselves." She grabbed Chen Yu's arm, "Grandma, aunt, let's go out, it's crowded here, let's not make trouble for the aunts." ”
Chen Yushi nodded, and patted the back of Ye Yunshu's hand as he walked out, "I still have to seal it red for a while, it's more or less a heart, there is an auspicious color, and the people who help are happy." ”
"Okay, I'll get ready in a moment. ”
Ye Yunshu and Lu helped Chen Yu's left and right to the middle of the inner courtyard, Ye Laohan and Ye Li also appeared at the door, followed by Ye Laosan, who was a hanger.
Ye Yunshu only glanced at it lightly and then withdrew his gaze, "Grandma, uncle, stay away from the people of the old Ye family for a while." ”
Looking at Ye Li's expression, it was as if he had come to find fault.
As soon as the words fell, Ye Li's voice really opened up, and he shouted in a strange way: "My mother is really a blessing, this dead girl has never come to help me for so many years, and she was so angry that she couldn't get down two days ago, and she couldn't wait to make me angry, mother-in-law, do you want to tell me about such an unfilial granddaughter?"
