Farmhouse vicious stepmother, she is super fierce

Chapter 257 Guilty
Once the pork is bought, the overall situation of the banquet is considered to be settled.

For ordinary people, it is very decent to have a meat dish, tofu and a few side dishes at the banquet.

So what the boss of the Zhu family meant was to buy a few more plates of tofu and that would be enough.

This tofu can be bought home, soaked in water, and can be fried and eaten.

If you are afraid of spoiling, put it outside in the yard to freeze overnight, serve it with pork, and stew a pot of pork frozen tofu, that is also very delicious.

Li Goudan's father next to him also said that it is almost Chinese New Year now, and there are some dry goods at home. If the villagers help to gather together, a few tables of banquets can still be assembled.

This is for the sake of the Mu family, for fear that they will spend too much.

But Mu Pojun knew that if it was really too simple, the villagers might even say a few words behind their backs that he was stingy after the banquet.

What's more, in the future, when people in the village need help to speak, since they are inviting people to a banquet, it must be done beautifully.

So he just said with a smile that he hadn't returned to his hometown for many years, and his wife and children were taken care of by the villagers.

I insisted on buying another five or six large herrings weighing about ten catties, four boards of tofu, and a bunch of various seasoning sauces.

In addition, I also made a jar of good wine weighing about ten catties.

This can make a few men greedy!

Winter is long and cold, who doesn't want to have a drink or two?

It's a pity that the mother-in-law at home is very tight, and only during the holidays can I get two taels of yellow soup at the entrance of the village to satisfy my greed.

They haven't drunk the wine from the wine shop in this town yet, and smelling the smell, they all feel a little drunk.

For this banquet at Mu's family, I have full expectations in my heart.

With this jug of wine hooked, the back baskets on the backs of three or four big men were filled to the brim, they didn't feel tired, and they felt full of energy.

The remaining odds and ends were carried by Da Zhuang's half-grown children.

It was almost half an hour after shopping, Mu Pojun looked at the sky, and naturally offered to invite everyone to dinner.

Li Goudan's father and Zhu's boss and second child hurriedly waved their hands, they were looking at the things Mu Pojun bought, who didn't have an account in mind?
Just half a fan of pigs, five or six large herrings, tofu, seasonings, and this jar of good wine, all cost more than three taels of silver.

These things are for the whole village to eat.

How could they have the nerve to let Mu Pojun pay?

They only said that since it was getting late, so many things should be carried home early, and asked the villagers to help clean them up tonight, so they can be used tomorrow.

Why waste money?
Resolutely refused.

It was still Shen Jiayan who bought a drawer of freshly baked steamed buns at the roadside steamed bun shop, all of which were as big as a man's fist.

One person stuffed two, so let's cushion it first, so as not to walk home without strength.

After a round of posting, Shen Jiayan pretended to be casual and asked: "Yeah? Why didn't you see Sister-in-law Bai? Did she get lost?"

The boss of the Zhu family squeezed the hand of the steamed bun tightly, and hurriedly said: "What does my brother and sister care about her? This mother-in-law probably has a rare time to catch a big fair, and she has lost track of the time! She is so old, and she is still so unreliable in doing things! Let's go back first, she is such a big person, still worried that she will get lost? I guess she will know it's time to go home after half an hour, when it's almost time to go home—"

The second child of the Zhu family also hurriedly echoed: "No, we can't keep so many of us waiting for her alone, right? Anyway, it's not far from the town, and my sister-in-law often comes to the town, and she can't even close her eyes." You’ll go the wrong way! Let’s go back first, don’t worry about carrying such old things?”

Shen Jiayan was just trying to say something, seeing the posture of the eldest and second child of the Zhu family, he knew that the Zhu family probably knew about Mrs. Bai's going to buy cloth.

Moreover, the boss and the second child of the Zhu family are still covering for the Bai family.

She suddenly had an idea in her mind, kept her expression on, smiled and said a few more words, and then pushed the boat smoothly, no longer said that she was going to find Mrs. Bai, but went home with everyone.

Quan's is a smart person, thinking back on the road, Bai's absent-minded appearance, guessed that something happened to Zhu's family.

So along the way, they never mentioned anything about the Zhu family and the Bai family, but talked to Shen Jiayan about the banquet tomorrow.

When holding banquets in the countryside, most of the villagers and neighbors come to help.

Quan's often helps others, and he knows which family's wife is quick and diligent, washing dishes quickly, well and cleanly; which family's mother-in-law is good at steaming rice;

She knew everything in her mind, she only picked a few women who had been coldly favored in the past, and told Shen Jiayan one by one, it was enough for her to ask these people for help.

As for the cooking chef, a woman surnamed Huang at the end of the village is really good at cooking, and she can handle both red and white cases.

Her natal father was a cook, and she worked with his father since she was a child. Although she didn't get her father's true biography, she still learned five or six cooking skills from her.

It's not enough to be a cook in the town, but it's perfectly fine to cook for other people's banquets in the countryside.

The people who cook and cook are settled, but there is still Mr. Zhike outside.

Generally, people who are popular in the village, able to handle affairs, and able to make a banquet complete and comprehensive are invited to do it.

The position of Mr. Zhike is very important. It is equivalent to a coordinator. How many guests will come to the banquet, how to arrange it, when the banquet will start, who will serve the dishes, who will clean up the table, and how to arrange the guests, all are arranged by Mr. Zhike.

The master's family always left it to Mr. Zhike, and only served as assistants or entertained guests.

Li Goudan's father and the boss of the Zhu family often serve as intellectuals in the village.

You must know that Mr. Zhike and the people who came to help the Lord's house were not for nothing.

Be stingy, give some leftovers after the banquet or something.

The generous ones will choose a special day after the banquet, cook a table of delicious dishes for the helpers, and finally send some eggs and the like to take home.

With the generosity of Mu's family, his family holds banquets, and as a Mr. Zhike, he will be a resource after he comes.

Secondly, in the end, the Mu family will certainly not be less rewarded.

So both of them were a little moved.

If it had been before, the boss of the Zhu family would have spoken up by himself, so he recommended himself.

But isn't this a little guilty?After a little hesitation, Li Goudan's father jumped ahead and spoke. He didn't say that he wanted to be Mr. Zhike, but that he and Quan's would come to help. If you need anything, just let him know.

Mu Pojun glanced at the boss of Zhu's family, he is not a fool to get to this point.

In the past, Zhu's family lived close together, and they benefited more than Li Goudan's family.

Based on his understanding of the Zhu family, he should be more active in helping the banquet. Seeing that the boss of the Zhu family seemed to have some scruples, he seemed guilty and short of breath, so he paid attention to it.
