The Pretty Eldest Daughter of a Scholar's Family

Chapter 117
Su Yunduo took advantage of the time when Ning Zhongping set up the car to serve the dishes, and hurried to the kitchen to bake some egg noodle pancakes for Ning Zhongping.

When Ning Zhongping loaded the vegetables into the car, Su Yunduo had already prepared breakfast for him, a large bowl of hot porridge and egg noodle cakes.

Watching Ning Zhongping drive his carriage to Xiushui County in the severe cold, Su Yunduo greeted Su Chengzhi and Su Zexuan who had finished playing Wu Qinxi and washed their faces and hands again, and Ning Shi and Su Zechen who had just woken up to eat quickly.

It was too cold this day, if there was no fire on the stove, a pot of steaming porridge would quickly turn into lumps of ice.

Previously, Su Yunduo only baked cakes for Ning Zhongping alone, but now the family gathered in the kitchen, she hurriedly reopened the pot and baked two cakes for everyone, even the little one Su Zechen, of course his two cakes required smaller.

After the family happily finished their meal, Su Chengzhi took Su Zexuan to the study to read.

Today is the rest day every ten days. According to the plan scheduled yesterday, Ning Zhongping will bring people to work in the afternoon, trying to spend half a day to complete the water diversion ditches in the Shan'aozi and plant blocks around the Shan'aozi. windy shrub.

Ning Zhongping and Su Yunduo's two cousins, namely Ning Zhongshi's eldest son Ning Huafeng, second son Ning Hua'an and Su Yunduo, will complete the rest of the finishing work.

Although the time was a bit rushed, before the completion of the renovation of the col, even before the year, Su Yunduo still hoped to keep the secret of the col as much as possible, so as not to cause unnecessary disputes.

Of course, the secret was discovered by someone. With the land deed in hand, Su Yunduo is naturally fearless. The reason why he wants to avoid people is to avoid troubles as much as possible. Who would like to face all kinds of troubles every day? What about annoying people and things?

"Duoduo, while you have nothing to do right now, hurry up and catch up on your sleep. Your eyes are turning blue." Su Yunduo was thinking about the next thing to be arranged. Gently brushing her eyes, his pitiful eyes are as gentle as water.

Su Yunduo knew that this was the sequelae of lack of sleep, but she had a lot of things to arrange today, and she couldn't wait for someone to come, she didn't even have any preparations on her side.

However, in order to reassure Ning Shi, Su Yunduo nodded and said yes, and softly told Su Zechen to stay with Ning Shi on the kang, and gave Su Zechen some snacks bought yesterday before turning around and leaving the house.

I bought some farm tools for work in the county yesterday, but according to Ning Zhongping's intention, this furniture is not enough, so Su Yunduo asked Ning Zhongping to buy some more today, so Su Yunduo doesn't need to worry about this matter.

There are two things that Su Yunduo needs to worry about.

The first thing is to eat and drink for the visitors, and the second thing is to clean up a room for Ning Huafeng and Ning Huaan. Because of finishing work, the two cousins ​​have to stay in Geshan Village for a few days.

It is not difficult to arrange accommodation for the two cousins. There are still two rooms in the house that can accommodate people in this yard. It only needs to be tidied up and heated up. The only problem is that there are no extra bedding at home.

Fortunately, Ning Zhongping lived here for a few days, and he knew all about the Su family's situation, so he agreed that when he came here today, he would buy a few more beddings from the current one, and he would solve Su Yunduo's troubles with one sentence. .

Now Su Yunduo only needs to be ready to eat and drink for the workers.

Ning Zhongping gave Su Yunduo an approximate number of people yesterday. It seems that there are a lot of work in Shan'aozi renovation, but in order to protect the hot spring, there are many tasks that need to be finished slowly by his own family. Therefore, it is not too many people that Ning Zhong does not want to invite. Including Ning Zhongping, Ning Huafeng and Ning Huaan brothers, there are only seven or eight people.

With an approximate number of people, it would be easier for Su Yunduo to arrange food and drink.

There is meat and vegetables at home, and there is no shortage of rice and noodles, so it is not difficult to arrange. Of course, it would be even better if Ning Zhongping could bring two more fish back.

It was agreed that Ning Zhongping would bring the wine from the county, so Su Yunduo didn't need to worry about it.

What Su Yunduo needs to worry about is how she can make enough meals for more than ten people with only Su Zexuan's helper.

Standing in the yard and thinking for a while, Su Yunduo decided to start preparations in advance.

The bacon, sausage, dried pheasant and hare at home, and the big marinated bones should be soaked first. This process will take at least an hour, otherwise it will be too salty to eat.

Although Su Yunduo really wanted to add less salt when marinating, but at that time it was not completely cold, so he had to add heavy salt for preservation.

The ones taken away by Lu Jinkang were the last batch to be pickled. Although it hadn't snowed yet, it was already very cold at that time, so there was much less salt in the pickle.

Thinking of Lu Jinkang, Su Yunduo couldn't help feeling a little dazed. He wondered if he had arrived in the capital, and whether his injuries had been affected by the way back, but with the old doctor following him, even if Lu Jinkang's injuries changed, it shouldn't be a serious problem.

Su Yunduo shook his head to shake Lu Ankang out of his mind, and continued to proceed with the matter at hand in an orderly manner.

After soaking all the bacon and sausages, Su Yunduo went to the room where sprouts were grown. There was also a kang set up in this room, and a fire was lit in the morning and evening every day to ensure that the room was healthy. The temperature is sufficient for the growth of sprouts.

A few days ago, Mrs. Wei came to see Su Yunduo, and asked her to help her grow a few catties of bean sprouts. In a few days, it would be Liu Donglin's [-]th birthday. Mrs. Wei planned to hold a birthday banquet for Liu Donglin.

Originally, Su Yunduo was in a bit of a dilemma. After all, Fangzi had already been sold to Zuixianlou. She raised some to eat at home, and it would not be a breach of contract to try something new for relatives and friends, but the sprouts needed for the whole banquet But there are not a few of them, without Qian Bingtai's approval, Su Yunduo is not easy to make his own opinions.

Su Yunduo and Qian Bingtai mentioned this matter yesterday, but Qian Bingtai didn't agree to it outright. It was finally determined that the recipe was not taught to others, but was cultivated by Su Yunduo himself, so he nodded and agreed.

When Su Yunduo came back yesterday, he soaked all the beans sent by the Wei family. Now the room is crowded, but there is not much to eat today.

When the beans soaked in the past few days were opened, the bean sprouts and bean sprouts grew quite well, especially the green bean sprouts and vegetables, which looked very gratifying.

Su Yunduo estimated the amount of sprouts in front of him, and felt that two cold salads, two stir-fried vegetables, and some added to the bone soup were enough, so he felt relieved.

Although Ning Zhongping said that the people he invited today are all his brothers who played with him since he was a child, and they are all hearty old men. As long as there is meat and wine, Su Yunduo still hopes to prepare with all his heart. Do your best to make people eat and drink well, so that everyone can eat happily without embarrassing Ning Zhongping.

Of course, Su Yunduo doesn't plan to use the vegetables in the mountain depression. After all, there are not many vegetables in the mountain depression at present, so it is necessary to ensure the supply of Zuixianlou.
