The Pretty Eldest Daughter of a Scholar's Family

Chapter 108 To Celebrate

Five-year-old Su Zechen was sitting on Ning Zhongping's lap. He was gnawing on the snacks that Ning Zhongping brought him from Hejian Mansion like a little mouse. When Ning Zhongping mentioned his name, he raised his head and grinned. Mouth laughed.

Su Yunduo stretched out his hand and gently touched Su Zechen's little head, filled with infinite emotion in his heart, thinking of Su Zechen who was timid and could only cry back then, Su Zechen has really changed a lot now.

From top to bottom, this family is developing and making progress in a good way, and it has completely escaped the oppression of the old Su family.
After Su Yunduo comforted Ning Shi, she heard the sound of school leaving outside. She looked up at the sky and it was time to make dinner, so she went to the kitchen. As soon as she arrived at the door, she saw Su Chengzhi who had just sent the students away with a smile on his face. Turning around, he couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief.

When he just came back from Liu's ancestral hall, Su Yunduo was really worried that Su Chengzhi hadn't passed that hurdle, but now he is not worried. Since Su Chengzhi can smile, and seeing that the smile comes from the heart, then What is she worried about?

Her parents and younger brothers are indeed growing up, although the speed may vary, but as long as they are growing, it is a good thing, and it is worth celebrating!But today is really a day worth celebrating, so today's dinner must be a big one.

Su Yunduo walked towards Su Chengzhi, and said with a smile: "Father, just talk to my uncle and mother, and I will prepare dinner right away."

"Cook a few more dishes, and then let Brother Xuan go to the village to buy good wine. Daddy will have a drink with your uncle today." Su Chengzhi nodded and ordered.

Although Su Chengzhi's body is not suitable for drinking, it's okay to take a sip to express his meaning. Everyone is happy today, and it's a perfect thing to celebrate with a sip of wine.

When Ning heard that Su Chengzhi asked to buy wine, she couldn't help but frowned slightly, and said to the father and daughter outside the house: "Just cook a few more dishes, brother Cheng's body is not suitable for drinking."

"Mother, don't worry, it's okay for our father to drink not only one sip, but two drinks, today is a good day, we want to celebrate, mother, don't let everyone down!" Su Yunduo turned back to the room crisp voice.

Su Zechen clapped his hands and cheered from inside the room: "Celebrate, celebrate!"

Accompanied by Su Zechen's cheers, there was Ning Zhongping's loud laughter and Ning's low coquettish anger.

Su Yunduo showed a smile, and arranged for Su Zexuan, who came out behind her, to quickly take the jug to the small shop in the village to buy wine, and after thinking about it, he gave him two more strings of copper coins: "Let's see if there is any fresh meat? Yes If you want to buy two catties, it is best to have fat and lean meat."

Geshan Village is far away from Linxi Town. In order to facilitate the life of the villagers in the village, Qi Shugong’s family specially opened a small grocery store in the village, selling some needles, thread, brain oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar. Occasionally, they bring some meat back from the town to sell, and the quantity is not much. Not every day, whether you can eat fresh meat today depends on your luck.

Seeing Su Zexuan jumping out the door, Su Yunduo yelled at his back: "Walk carefully, don't fall!"

Su Zexuan's footsteps suddenly slowed down, he raised his hand holding the flagon and shook his head, and continued to go to Qishugong's house in the middle of the village.

The smile on Su Yunduo's face is getting deeper and deeper, this kind of day has hope and more fun!

Standing on the spot and thinking for a while, Su Yunduo turned around and went to the hut closest to the well. That hut was specially used by Su Yunduo to cultivate bean sprouts and bean sprouts. Although these bean sprouts could no longer be used to make money, they could give A more joyful and richer life for the family.

After signing the contract with Zuixianlou, Su Yunduo can no longer sell sprouts for money, so there are not many sprouts in the house, except for Ning Zhongping to bring some back to honor his grandparents from time to time, and occasionally give them to several families in the village. If you get close, send some to try something new, and the rest change patterns or stir-fry or stir-fry every day, which is a delicacy in winter.

When Su Zexuan came back, besides the wine, he had a piece of fresh meat. It seems that today is indeed a good day!

Su Yunduo has already prepared the dishes for the evening in a hurry, and the rice is also on the stove, and it is slowly simmering with a low fire.

Ning Zhongping was talking with Su Yunduo in the kitchen, and seeing Su Zexuan came back, the two stopped talking about the original topic, and started talking about the dishes on the back hillside.

Due to rumors that the village has been somewhat uneasy recently, Su Chengzhi and the Ning family did not allow Su Yunduo to go to the back hillside, so she hadn't visited the mountain for a few days. Today, there was a meeting in the village with Ning Zhongping, Su Cheng Zhi and Ning will definitely not object.

Su Yunduo wanted to take advantage of the short period of time between stewed rice and roasted meat to go to the mountain col, and see if he could bring back some dishes for everyone to try, making today's celebration more meaningful.

"Uncle, wait for me for a while. After I cook the meat, I will trouble you to accompany me to the back mountain." Su Yunduo said and blinked.

Ning Zhongping chuckled: "Okay, don't worry, be careful with the knife in your hand, I'll wait for you."

The movements of Su Yunduo's hands were very agile. While speaking, she had already washed and cut the fresh meat into small pieces. She was going to make a meal of braised pork for everyone to eat.

Add water to a clean pot, pour in the cut meat, cook for half an hour after the water boils, then remove the meat and control the water.

Pour oil into the hot pan, stir-fry the star anise, then pour in an appropriate amount of fine sugar and stir-fry until slightly yellow, pour in the dried meat and continue to stir-fry until the meat is translucent and slightly yellow on the surface And start to produce oil, cook some wine, pour in soy sauce and continue to stir-fry until the volatile soy sauce is evenly absorbed on the meat, then pour boiling water into the pot, and then add chopped green onion, ginger slices, fragrant Leaves, etc., put in an appropriate amount of rock sugar and cover the pot, and tell Su Zexuan who is on the fire to simmer slowly on a low fire.

At this time, Su Yunduo was very grateful to Lu Jinkang, and involuntarily sent a good person card to Lu Jinkang in his heart.

Because of Lu Jinkang, her kitchen has all kinds of oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar, and all kinds of seasonings. Otherwise, no matter how good her cooking skills are, this braised pork will lose a lot of flavor, let alone her cooking skills. Art is actually very general.

As soon as he walked out of the yard, Su Yunduo keenly noticed that the stranger who had been wandering around Geshan Village and Su's house in the past few days had disappeared. It seems that today's village meeting, the newly formed patrol team, and Ning Zhongping's arrival each played a role.

Su Yunduo couldn't guarantee whether these strangers really believed what the village council said, but Ning Zhongping's reputation in Xiushui County was enough to deter those who coveted the Su family.

Although Su Yunduo didn't know who those people were, he somewhat guessed that they were nothing more than gangsters from nearby villages and towns.

Seeing that the year is getting closer, it is impossible for Ning Zhongping to be in Geshan Village all the time. The safety of Geshan Village and the Su family has to be protected by the patrolling security team of Geshan Village. Su Yunduo hopes that today's meeting, especially Uncle Seven, will show The envelope from that can get these people out.

It remains to be seen whether we can dispel those Xiao Xiaoxiao, but one thing is certain, without the help of those people from the old house to stir up the flames, it will not be easy for outsiders to stir up even bigger disturbances in Geshan Village.
