Young rich peasants

For example, seeing other people's homes are lively and exciting, you can start eating as soon as you sit at the table, and you can leave after eating, and there is no shortage of vegetables, meat and wine.The good food eaten in a few days is enough to last for a year.

But when it was his turn, it was completely different. Zaozi followed Lei Shounuo with his slightly protruding belly to help. He couldn't do rough work, but it was okay to help wipe his sweat.

Two large round tables and one small square table can be placed in the patio, and the small one is just right for children to sit on; six or seven round tables can be placed in the yard, but no more.

Zaozi recalled the last consummation ceremony, when there were so many guests that a village could be filled, and asked worriedly: "Brother Lei, is the place too small..."

"It's a little less. Last time was a big happy event. It happens once in a lifetime. Naturally, it will take a lot of work. Now it's just an annual report, and it will be over after a lot of work." Lei Shounuo said.

"Well... you can borrow tables and chairs from the people in the lower village, but what kind of guests do you want?" Zaozi rubbed her waist. People in this place will see their belly four months after they conceive, but his belly is bigger than others. The reaction of low back pain is also more obvious.

Lei Shounuo dragged half of the wooden stake, helped Zaozi sit down and rested, and said: "There are so many tables, there is no place to sit, and it's hard to say which ones are missing. Feel free to sit down and eat when you come. After eating this The next round, there is no limit."

Zaozi took a breath, "Sounds like a lot of hard work... If only I could help."

"You are doing us a great favor." Lei Shounuo knelt down and rubbed Zaozi's calf.After the jujube grows taller, the calf becomes slender, firm and elastic.But after having a child, I suffered a lot and suffered from cramps at every turn.

Zaozi pulled Lei Shounuo in front of him and helped him lift his shoulders, "Lei Ge's shoulders are as hard as a rock."

"When Zaozi's hand touches it, even the iron block will melt." Lei Shounuo laughed.

Zaozi remembered what happened when he was a child, "I used to have no strength, but now I have strength, and I can help Lei Ge squeeze it every day."

"Well, Zaozi is the most comforting." Lei Shounuo took a bite of the hand that grabbed Zaozi, "Okay, I feel much more comfortable." He stood up with a hey sound.

"What are you going to do now?"

"Go to the county town to find a chef, and see if you can buy some durable materials on the way back."

Zaozi's eyes lit up, he had been stuck at home some time ago, and now he really wanted to go out for a walk.Lei Shounuo objected without even thinking about it.Little Daddy Mei just came out, and after knowing the whole story, he said: "Keeping your promise, you are overprotective. Didn't Youxi go up and down the mountain to do things after three months of stability? Zaozi has been for four months, and it is good to exercise." Zaozi nodded vigorously beside her.

Lei Shounuo was still very reluctant, but the little daddy helped, and Zaozi was so happy once in a while... "Okay, but Zaozi can only sit in the carriage, and he is not allowed to run around, and he is not allowed to carry things."

Before they had time to buy a carriage, they had to borrow one from the village.The carriage has a vaulted shed, without a curtain, so the front and back are straight through, and it should only be used to keep out the wind and rain when transporting goods.Lei Shounuo spread a soft cushion in a corner behind the driver's seat, let Zaozi sit on it, and brought a thin quilt to shield Zaozi from the wind.

Everything was ready, the two of them, together with Ah Wei, set off.

The wild flowers on the edge of the mountain road are brilliant, and the small clusters of purple-red and orange-yellow flowers are colorful, which contrast with the tender green grass leaves, just like the most brilliant morning in an oil painting.Zaozi lay on Lei Shounuo's back, and couldn't get enough of the natural scenery.Lei Shounuo's broad back rose and fell with the movement of whipping the whip, Zaozi regarded it as a game, and smiled, extremely happy.It's not the first time I've been out of the county, but I don't know why I'm so happy today.

When they arrived at the county seat, they went to the restaurant that Lei Shounuo usually frequented.Lei Shounuo came forward, and when it came to inviting chefs to make annual reports, the owner of the restaurant invited them to the side room.Not long after, a sturdy man came in, followed by three or four young apprentices.The owner of the restaurant said that this guy is free, and the cooking is full of flavor and taste, which will definitely fill your stomach and taste delicious.And he is big, so he is not afraid of getting tired after two or three days of tossing.

During the consummation ceremony, Lei Shounuo went to another chef, but this time he wanted to change his taste, so he came to this restaurant.Seeing that this guy was straightforward and forthright, he settled down without saying a word.

A few people sat in a circle in the side room, cracking melon seeds, Lei Shounuo said: "Everyone, our Magu Village will have a new year's rule the day after tomorrow, let's hear what dishes there are."

The heads of the group were unambiguous, and said: "The soup can't be less. If it's easy, you can cook chicken soup. When the chicken is roasted, the soup will be there. Add some ingredients and it will be delicious; white-cut chicken is enough for a table. If you are afraid of getting tired, you can eat half of the chicken." Half side of duck, the dipping material is hot fried ginger and garlic plus soy sauce, chicken kidney and duck kidney can be fried as a dish, slightly spicy; braised pork with sweet taro, soft and tender, melts in the mouth, if you don’t like taro, replace it with Preserved vegetables are also appetizing; the fish is steamed eel with tempeh, the meat is delicious, and there are no fish bones; others include sweet and sour pork ribs, peanut trotters, boiled shrimp, fried beans with sausages, fried corn radish and beans, and green vegetables with some garlic It's delicious when fried."

Zaozi's eyes grew big when he heard that, for the meal at the consummation ceremony, he only ate a bowl of miscellaneous food brought in by others in the room, and the rest were taken away by the people who came to the banquet. It is said that is custom.The good dishes he eats on weekdays are made in small stoves and small pots, so he hasn't really participated in customizing such a large table of rich dishes.

Lei Shounuo hugged him, thought for a moment, and said, "No need for peanuts, the others are rounded up, if you eat meat... jujube, do you like taro or preserved vegetables?"

"Mei Cai."

"Well, then use plum vegetables."

The head of the group expressed that he understood, and asked the little apprentices around him to write down one by one.

Lei Shounuo asked the gang leader's apprentices to figure out how many materials they needed. After getting the list, they made an appointment with the gang leader and set off to buy things immediately.

What you can buy now is chicken, duck and sausage, as well as condiments such as preserved vegetables and fermented soybeans, fish and shrimp, which are difficult to bring, and then buy when there is less stuff tomorrow... Buy what you can buy first, and order what is not enough today and then come tomorrow.

The vegetable market in the county seat was unexpectedly crowded, and the carriage was tied under a big banyan tree next to the entrance of the market.Lei Shounuo, holding dates in his arms, went deep into the vegetable market, looking at stall by stall.After the chickens and ducks are bought, let the vendor's helper deliver them to the carriage, while Ah Wei stays there to keep things.The same is true for other purchases. All Lei Shounuo has to do is to pay, and Zaozi will help tell the vendor where to send the items.Lei Shounuo was shrewd in business and good at bargaining. Not only was the stall owner not angry, but he would even give them two extra fruits.

Zaozi stayed by his side the whole time, secretly remembering Lei Shounuo's bargaining skills, and he had to learn how to bargain when he went out to buy things by himself in the future. A penny or two pennies is nothing, but a small amount adds up to a big sum .Their family came from poverty, and Lei Shounuo's blood and sweat was paid for every penny.

Walking to the place where the vegetables were sold, Lei Shounuo picked up the lettuce, but Zaozi was puzzled, "Brother Lei, there are barley vegetables in our vegetable garden."

Lei Shounuo weighed the vegetables in this stall, and said: "Xiaosong takes care of the vegetables in the vegetable garden specially, and the seeds are better than those outside, so I keep them for my family to eat." The stalls are relatively good, and this is enough to make up the number.

Buying corn, Zaozi was holding a bag of corn. No matter how he looked at it, he felt greedy. He secretly broke one and put it in his mouth. under his mouth.

"But..." Just one.

Lei Shounuo didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said with a straight face on purpose: "Not even one, if you like it, I'll buy a few and cook it for you, and add sugar."

"It's done." Zaozi raised his face and smiled, spit out the corn kernels into Lei Shounuo's hand, and then watched Lei Shounuo... eat it.Lei Shounuo also said honestly that this was to avoid wasting food, and Zaozi couldn't even imagine how the people next to them thought of the two of them.Such a grown man, why is he still as shameless as when he was a child?

In fact, Zaozi didn't know that, in the eyes of others, they were so loving that they envied the dead.Although people in the county did not see it with their own eyes during the consummation ceremony, they heard from people who had been there that it was very lively (very lively).The head of the Mei Mansion is really good, there is no man who does not yearn for it after listening to it - this kind of pampering held in the palm of his hand, let alone a new baby, even the main house may not everyone have this luck.If it was a man like the head of the Mei family, they would be willing to marry even if it was a new baby.It's a pity that the head of the Mei Mansion has already announced that there is no such thing as a side room in his house, and he will definitely not accept a side room.People with small thoughts had to stop for a while.

……

Afterwards, things went smoothly, what should be bought, what should be bought, what should be decided.They also ate a good meal at the restaurant in the county seat, and packed half a scallion chicken as an extra meal for Xiaopai and Xiaosong.

The next day, Zaozi woke up late, and Lei Shounuo led Ah Wei to buy other materials, but did not let him follow.

I went back and forth three or four times like this, and I finally bought everything. This is not the most tiring thing. The really tiring thing is tomorrow morning.

Zaozi couldn't get up so early, and those who could get up at home wouldn't let him get up.Lei Shounuo deliberately went to bed early, and he led a group of hired workers to get busy as soon as the sky was polished.

First, the chickens and ducks have to be bled to remove their feathers, the scales of the fish have to be scraped open, and the ribs have to be cut into pieces. Everything is physical work.Not to mention the meticulous work of peeling corn, cutting radishes and removing shrimp threads.The hot water can hardly be boiled.Fortunately, the customers come in batches, so it is enough to prepare the first batch now.

At this time, the head of the group also led the people to rush over. Without saying a word, he drank the shochu, rolled up his sleeves and started to work.

The seemingly simplest white-cut chicken alone can reflect the importance of this chef. The degree to which the chicken needs to be boiled depends on experience. The meat is too cooked and tasteless, and the meat is too raw and chewy. The skin is smooth and tender, and the mouth is full of deliciousness. With the addition of garlic oil, the taste of the chicken itself is completely delicious.A white-cut chicken can tell that this guy's gesture is very good.Lei Shounuo was also willing to be instructed by him to do this and that, running around like a little apprentice.He has a good temper towards his family, but he is very dignified towards the outside world, and his temper is not gentle. He is definitely not someone who dares to step on him. There is only one exception, that is, the other party is very talented, and he is willing to admire him.

Boiled chicken can be eaten cold, so do it first, and then cook pork in the middle, and then some fried vegetables and fresh fish.

When Lei Shounuo was shopping for the ingredients two days ago, he stopped by to inform some acquaintances, and spread the word like this. When the first round of dishes was almost in full swing, the guests also arrived one after another.

The increasingly noisy movements finally woke up Zaozi, he washed up, walked to the door, and when the door opened, several agile figures rushed past outside.Xiao Song jumped out from nowhere and protected him to back up, "Go slowly, I will accompany you."

Zaozi looked around, very lively.

After the first group of people sat down to eat and there were fewer people running around in the room, Zaozi was finally able to leave the room.The people sitting in the patio were familiar people, and they never forgot to take time out to say hello when they saw Zao Zi when they were eating, and Zao Zi responded to them one by one.He was about to continue moving towards the main entrance, when suddenly, two unkind people barged in.

The leader is a disheveled... brother?Followed by a man wearing an iron mask.That brother suddenly stared at Zaozi, showing an inexplicable smile, and the small canine teeth seemed to be still shining.
