Teach my brother-in-law

As soon as Bai He came out, he saw Mr. He from the county yamen walking over with two servants, followed by a few old people from the village. The old man of the Xiao family unexpectedly walked beside Mr. He, and the two walked side by side, laughing What to talk about, it seems that the relationship seems to be very good, Bai He's heart can't help but sink, this Master He really got very close to Xiao Xiaoshui's family.

"Master He, old Mr. Xiao!" Bai He went up to greet him and said hello!

"Miss Lin, happy opening!" Mrs. He replied with a smile, and the guard behind him opened the mounting paper in his hand, and the four characters "Cai Yuan Guang Jin" were written very well.

"Thank you Mr. He, please come in!" Bai He took the letter and handed it to Zhang Qing who was behind him, and accompanied Mr. He and Mr. Xiao into the private room on the second floor of Yishuitang. The room next to Bai He has a balcony facing Dongting Lake. There are a table and five chairs on the balcony. There are tea sets, pastries, melons and fruits and other snacks on the table. Zhang Qing also arranged for a girl to wait beside her. with.

"Mr. Xiao, I didn't expect such a wonderful scene in Daohu Lake. Miss Lin, go get busy first. We can just entertain ourselves." Seeing that there were many guests under Baihe, Mr. He said, of course Baihe I don't want to stay here either. It's obvious that he is close to Xiao's cliché, so it's superfluous to stand here by myself.

Bai He also saw that there were more and more people below, and Zhang Qing was instructing a few juniors who were busy opening the banquet. The congratulations for the opening were nothing more than calling the villagers to eat and drink together.

As soon as Bai He walked down, Zhang Qing came up to greet her and said, "Master, everything is ready. Look." What Zhang Qing meant was that the host had to come out to say a few words about the opening congratulations, and it would be lively when the firecrackers were put down.

"No need, put down the firecrackers, let me inform the kitchen here, the banquet will start in half an hour, I have to go to the kitchen, you should look at the outside affairs first, come to the kitchen to find me if you have anything to do," Bai He said. It's all good.But today, in the two VIP rooms on the second floor, I still have to handle the spoon by myself. One table is Mr. He from the county government, Mr. Xiao and Li Zheng, the gentleman from the village.The other table is for Yun'er's mother's family, headed by Yun'er's uncle, plus the second uncle and other older people from relatives' families.Naturally, it was Lu Cai who accompanied him.The dishes on these two tables must be fried by themselves. Of course, Bai He also wants to compete with the girls in the village to try her own cooking skills. One must know that when this matter gets busy, her cooking skills will not decline a lot.

The kitchen was very lively, Bai He told the kitchen in the morning that she wanted to keep a pot for her own use, this was not when Bai He came in.The spatula had been washed long ago, and the ingredients next to it were also placed on the stove in bowls.Seeing Bai He coming in, the fire burner behind the stove lit the firewood under the pot that was left behind.

The women invited from the village were not convinced, Bai He saw it, it seemed that she had to show her hand, otherwise she would definitely not be able to suppress these women in the future.

This is the case in the countryside, where we pay attention to real materials, such as this kind of banquet.As long as the owner has some money, this dish must be managed well.Drinks, tobacco, and tea were poured up continuously, before evening, Uncle Cai left the yard, and now he had to go to every household in the village to ask them to come over, especially today when Mr. If the elder does not come, it will be unreasonable.

In this way, in the evening, folks from the village kept coming into the courtyard. A table was set up in the private room on the second floor. This is where Mr. He and others sat. There were two tables set up in the lobby, one for Yun Erniang. The other table of my mother’s family is for people with prestige and status in the village. There are more than a dozen tables outside, and a door panel is placed next to the two stoves. This is specially reserved for the little children in the village. The children will change the wooden bowls on the table, and the amount of dishes is sufficient, and the largest bowl is taken.

Uncle Cai came back in a hurry, went into the kitchen and took out two pine oil lamps, which were sun-dried forest firewood dipped in pine oil, lit on fire, and burned so vigorously that the whole yard was illuminated.

A group of children had already occupied the door panel table next to the steaming rice and pork meat stove at some point, each of them was beating the bowl with chopsticks, running around from time to time, or playing hide-and-seek, or hiding in the dark to pretend to be scary, or Squat behind the kitchen stove and watch the chef swing the spoon, stealing a piece of meat or fish from the basin from time to time.

Lin Zizhong and Yun'er helped serve the dishes and wash the dishes in the kitchen.

There are also two large pots, one of which is frying fish pieces, and the other is frying green pepper slices. Green peppers are the first batch of peppers grown on the farm. They are cultivated in greenhouses, and the seeds are white. It was brought over by the people in charge.

There are already cooked dishes on the chopping board next to the stove, including steamed fat fish head, steamed pork with flour, and cold cucumber.

"Boss, can we open the banquet?" Zhang Qing ran over with the desk and said, besides being a veterinarian, Zhang Qing also has a craft, that is, the chopping board is very good, the most important thing about the chopping board is good hand strength, imagine There are six or seven bowls of vegetables on the chopping board, and there is a lot of soup and water, so you have to walk with one hand. From time to time, you are still guarding against the little baby running around. It is not far from the kitchen to the outside yard, but if you are not careful, the chopping board Overturning the vegetables and dumping them on the ground, if this kind of thing happens, not only the owner is not happy, but the villagers who drink and eat will also have ideas, whether they deliberately came to smash their place or something.

"Just prepare and prepare. Put the fried fish pieces first, Zhang Qing, let's serve." Bai He gave an order, and Lin Zizhong and Yun'er, who were helping beside him, quickly took a bowl of vegetables and put them in Zhang Qing's hands The chopping board was filled with seven bowls. Zhang Qing raised the chopping board with a roar, and walked out with one hand holding the chopping board. Without blinking, the whole movement was done in one go, with a feeling of flowing water. And there is no soup overflowing, this is the skill of Lian Jiazi.

The outside became lively because of Zhang Qing's coming out, and then Bai He also carried a small tray with a few snacks and a batch of Beilaojiao wine brought from Ningzhou, which was given to Mr. He's table on the second floor. up.

All the drinks come from Qibei Laojiao, and now Qibei Laojiao is famous all over the Ming Dynasty, if there is no such thing as Qibei Laojiao's face in the treats and gifts.The aroma of the opened wine can be smelled from afar. Qibei Laojiao wine does not mix with water, so if you can drink three bowls, it is called a drinker. But this bowl is not a small wine cup, then But the real three bowls are not the kind of big big bowls that can be used as washbasins when you pick them up to drink, you can't see your face.

Dishes are brought out continuously, and wine is also drunk bowl by bowl. The adults gather together to blow water and chat, talking about this year's harvest, next year's arrangements, and so on. There are few women but they make up One table is from a few elderly families nearby, and the women from the next house will not easily go to their table. After all, the idea of ​​male superiority to female is still relatively serious.The dolls, regardless of gender, are carrying bowls, waving chopsticks in their hands and running around, holding a piece of meat or fish in their hands or mouths. They fight with each other, but they can’t eat with peace of mind. From time to time, there are adults around Scolding his own child, saying something like eating well.

The dishes were almost ready, Bai He took Zhang Qing toast in the inner hall, and then walked to the courtyard with the wine bowl.

"Fellow folks, I am very grateful to everyone today. Yishuitang can be opened by the Daohu Lake... I don’t need to say anything. The wine is enough to satisfy the food, and the food is not enough. There is still food in the kitchen. Everyone eats and drinks well, eats and drinks well. Good." Bai He took a sip of the wine, while Zhang Qing just poured a large bowl of wine into his mouth.

The villagers sitting below, except the table where the woman was sitting, all stood up.

Bowl after bowl of wine was moved out, and Bai He really saw what a massive volume is, but after three bowls, no bowls were put away, six bowls were wiped away, and nine bowls were put away. There is too much, two or three tanks of wine will be seen in the sky in a blink of an eye.

The atmosphere suddenly turned to ** under the big bowl of wine, people punching, shouting, chatting and laughing, the whole yard was full of wine and happiness.

Lin Zizhong and Yun'er were squatting behind the stove with bowls in their hands. The two of them ate in a bit of embarrassment, especially Lin Zizhong, who took out the chicken kidneys from the stove, opened the kraft paper that was about to burn, and found that the inside was overcooked. The chicken kidney exudes a fragrance, attracting a few brats to lean over, especially the foodie Xiao Shitou, who leaned over and took a big piece, Lin Zizhong looked at it and had to take the whole package of chicken kidneys They were all placed on the counter, and a group of children rushed up immediately, and snatched all the chicken kidneys with a few efforts.

Zhang Qing ran in again, holding a bare basin in his hand. All the vegetables in the basin could be distributed to each table. Now there is only a basin of cucumber sticks and a basin of pickled radish on the chopping board. Regardless of this, I picked up a basin with a spoon and left.

"Yun'er, our village is really lively."

"That's right, who doesn't come for free food and drink."

Bai He walked into the kitchen with a slightly drunk face and saw Lin Zizhong and Yun'er squatting behind the stove, the two of them were holding bowls and eating big mouthfuls, at this moment, Bai He couldn't bear to call them away , maybe in terms of feelings, you really can't force others, and you will have good results if you let nature take its course. After all, the melon that is twisted is not sweet.

"Sister-in-law, sit down." Lin Zizhong still saw Bai He, stood up hurriedly and said.

"Second brother, now that I think about it, I'm your sister-in-law." Bai He already knew that Lin Zizhong's memory was recovering, but he didn't expect that he could remember many things in less than two days. This is the best way.

"Sister-in-law, Zizhong can't remember anyone, but I can't forget elder brother and sister-in-law. Miss Yun'er has told me about my sister-in-law looking for me. Zizhong is here to thank sister-in-law." Lin Zizhong said with tears in his eyes. Encountering wild wolves, Lin Zizhong couldn't help feeling a sense of awe for the weak sister-in-law in front of him.

"One family doesn't speak two different languages, let's eat quickly." Bai He said with a gratified smile. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
