Reborn Big Brother: Farming Daily Life

Chapter 59
Mrs. Li was also not happy to invite Shen Dajiang to come over for dinner, although this time he invited Li Zheng first and second, Shen Dajiang only came to sit and accompany him.

Mrs. Li said helplessly, "Didn't your grandma come over to eat dumplings then?"

Shen Qingning was a little surprised, "Grandma usually doesn't care about things?"

The Jiang family and the old Shentou usually carry out the sentence that they are neither deaf nor dumb nor a family member. Generally, the old couple will not intervene if there are any conflicts in the three brothers' families.

Mrs. Li sighed, "If there is an enmity between the brothers and they stop communicating, how can the old couple ignore it."

The mother and daughter had to be silent for a while, and it was impossible to ignore whoever was the parent.

It was almost dinner time, old Shen Tou and Shen Dajiang came over.

Mrs. Li came forward to say hello enthusiastically, "Father is here, brother. I told you to let my mother come with me."

Old Shentou said with a smile, "Your mother cooked some food at noon, and she wants to eat at home by herself, so she won't come here."

Mrs. Li called Shen Qingning to call again, but was stopped by the old head Shen, so she had no choice but to give up.

Except when Shen Dajiang first came in, he nodded to Mrs. Li, and just sat in the main room without saying a word. When Shen Qingning brought him tea, he just returned his favor lightly.

Old Shen frowned, but his granddaughter was still in the room, so he couldn't speak.

Shen Qingning admired Mrs. Li very much. He clearly disliked Shen Dajiang in his heart, but he never showed it in front of the two old people.She was not afraid of embarrassing Shen Dajiang, but she couldn't bear the embarrassment of the two old people, and kept any dissatisfaction in her heart.

When she put down her tea and came in with a plate of fried peanuts, old Shentou told her not to greet him, and when she left the main room, she vaguely heard Grandpa talking about Shen Dajiang.

"In your brother's house, stop putting on airs and tell me how many times you are~"

She was too lazy to eavesdrop and went into the kitchen to help.

This is the first time her family invites Lizheng to dinner. In fact, Lizheng can't be regarded as an official, and his family also farms.But the life at home is easier, the land is owned by the family, and I can read and understand official documents.

In charge of the big and small things in the village, he will take anyone who builds a house to buy land to the county government.

Shen Qingning's family will have to buy land sooner or later, Shen Dahe thinks that if the relationship is in place first, it will be easier to handle things in the future.

The evening dishes are well prepared.

Mrs. Li butchered a chicken and made his specialty braised chicken with homemade chili sauce, which filled the yard with fragrance!
There are also braised pork with taro, sweet and sour fish, and braised pork with a few meat dishes and a few stir-fries, fried peanuts, and a cold bean curd stick.

A pot of lotus root bone rib soup has been simmering on the stove with a low fire since noon, and it has been simmering until the meat is rotten and lotus root powder.

At this time Shen Dahe had already pulled several loads of supplies and came back, covered in ashes.

After entering the main room and saying hello to his father and brother, he went back to the room and changed his clothes. Shen Dajiang only listened to that sentence, and only after he asked the old Shentou did he know that his second family was going to build a yard again!

"Second brother is too jumpy. This yard has only been built for a few days and then started to build a workshop? What do the villagers think of him? Is he planning to be the richest man in the village or something?"

Old Shentou put down his cigarette pouch, "What can you think of him? This man needs other people's opinions. It's better than anything else to live a good life. When the meeting is coming, you should talk less and eat more. Don't forget tonight It’s Dahe’s treat, and you’re here to sit and accompany me.”

"Father, what are you talking about, am I like that?"

The old Shentou sighed, "Boss, your parents are so rich that they are going to be called daughter-in-laws. Let's live your life well and leave your brother's affairs alone."

The eldest son is also 40 years old. Old Shentou really doesn't want to talk about him anymore, but he doesn't know who he looks like.

All three sons of the Shen family could read. When Shen Dajiang was young, he worked with others in the county for several years, but later he offended the shopkeeper for some reason and refused to do it again.

He said that he came back to farm the land, but the land was not in a good shape. He still pays attention to face, and he likes to show his boss in front of his two brothers.

Lizheng also came at this time, and Mrs. Li immediately started eating.

"Second Uncle Shen, Brother Dahe is capable, and he will be the first one appointed in our village from now on."

"Haha, I still have to rely on your brothers to help. He has a lot of children in his family. If he wants to live a life, he needs to think more about it."

Li Zheng smiled and said, "There are many children in the village. How many children in that family are as capable as the Dahe family? Shen Guan, this child is very good at studying."

Shen Dajiang took the words, "Yes, at that time, our whole family tightened their belts for the children to study, and it was not in vain."

…………

Old Shen Tou picked up his cup, "Come, come, drink, drink."

Shen Dahe also greeted Zhao Wenhao who was on the table, "Wen Hao, eat more, eat more."

"Yes, this soup is delicious."

"Drink more if it tastes good."

Shen Dajiang looked at the bone soup, "Second brother, you don't have enough money to build a workshop, you can find a way with your brother, why do you still have bones for this treat?"

…………

There is a piece of lotus root sandwiched in it, "This is chicken, meat and fish. It's just like this during Chinese New Year. This soup is good and delicious."

Old Shentou kicked the eldest son under the table, the eldest son's mind is getting smaller and smaller, he really shouldn't be allowed to come with him.

He had no choice but to continue to greet Li Zheng, "Eat vegetables, eat vegetables, drink wine."

The men drank, except for Shen Guan, no one else came to the table, the kitchen was big enough, so they ate directly in the kitchen.

Shen Qingning drank two bowls of soup, "How about it, let me say the ribs and lotus root soup is delicious."

Mrs. Li added a bowl herself, and said to Shen Meixiang with a smile, "Tell me why our Shen family produces such delicious food? She doesn't even have a choice in this big family."

"This Qingning will surely have a happy life in the future, and the cake I asked me to make last time is also delicious."

Shen Qingning corrected, "Gu, that's not cake, that's called leek box."

"That's right, Leek Box, Qing Ning, why do you even write these things in this book, do those scholars still like to cook?"

Shen Qingning nodded, "They're all miscellaneous books about travel notes. Those are rich lords who have no business to do, and eat and go all over the world. If you see something that you don't have at home, maybe you just write it down and ask the family servants to do it. "

Qingxiu was curious, "Is there anything else?"

"There's more, I'll tell you next time I see it, I say you do it."

Shen Meixiang asked Li Shi, "Second sister-in-law, it's the twelfth lunar month, can we prepare bacon for drying?"

"Yeah, other people's homes are in the sun, but ours is not in a hurry."

"How much does the second sister-in-law plan to expose?"

"I plan to dry ten catties of bacon and ten catties of cured fish this year."

Shen Meixiang had just said so much, but Shen Qingning had already taken the conversation, "Mother, how much is ten catties of dried bacon, how much is there enough to eat?"

Stir-fried bacon with artemisia quinoa, fried bacon with garlic, and then go to the mountain to find some winter bamboo shoots, and stir-fry bacon with winter bamboo shoots.Shen Qingning had thought about these things a long time ago, she must eat bacon this year to enjoy herself!

There is also bacon rice, which makes people greedy just thinking about it.
