Nongmen Jinfeng: Cold-noodled husband and little daughter-in-law

Chapter 1113 And Ji Invitation

"If there is something wrong with Yingchun after Yingchun, I can teach it. If I can't teach it, then just take care of it. Others are younger, and we are also afraid that our temperament will not be calm enough. Don't be unable to restrain Yingchun at that time, but quarrel all day long. There's no way."

This is already very euphemistic, and it is also a comprehensive explanation, which also conceals the embarrassment of yesterday's unfavorable start.Even if it spreads out in the future, this word can still be convincing, and you are not afraid of spreading bad gossip.

Ji's family can explain such an explanation, and the atmosphere becomes relaxed again.

The marriage is hopeful, Ji Chen is happy in his heart, and the smile on his face never disappears.But thinking of the situation at home, he couldn't help feeling a little sad, so he talked about his worries.

"My mother was afraid of dragging me down, so she wanted to separate me out. But my family doesn't have much labor, how can I only care about myself, and I don't want to wrong your sister, but..."

"You are right to worry. Marrying a daughter-in-law is to marry someone to help share the family affairs. How can there be a strong labor force to support the family." Fang Zizhan said immediately.

After hearing Uncle Future's statement, Ji Chen smiled again, this time there was no hesitation, and he asked the old man to arrange a door-to-door marriage proposal on the spot.

The uncle and grandma who were idle at the side immediately said: "As long as you agree to this marriage, don't be so troublesome. Let's make an appointment on a date and get married directly. After that, you want to get married someday, just set the date."

At this time, Fang Zizhan suddenly smiled awkwardly: "Speaking of which, tomorrow is the day to welcome the Spring Festival. If Ji's family doesn't mind it, welcome to Fang's house as a guest."

Many families will choose to come to propose marriage or hire directly on the day of Jiji, saying that "my family has a girl who has just grown up", and the husband's family will come to announce the meaning of marriage.

Now that the marriage was negotiated, Fang Zizhan took advantage of the opportunity to send out a Jiji invitation, which also meant to urge the Ji family to act sooner in disguise.

Although Ji's family hesitated for a moment, they still agreed.Because of the smile on Ji Chen's face, they couldn't refuse.

However, if the betrothal gift is shabby, it will be laughed at by the relatives of the bride's family.But their family can't prepare a decent dowry even with all their belongings.

"Let Ji Chen go with our boys tomorrow. You adults should prepare the dowry at home, and it will be decided sooner or later." The uncle and grandma noticed the unspeakable expressions on everyone's faces, and they understood it in a flash. proposal.

"It's so good. I originally wanted to hire tomorrow, but I can't prepare so soon. Why don't you ask the big brother to help you as a matchmaker tomorrow, and arrange a date for Ji Chen to get married."

The old lady Ji followed the words of her uncle and grandma and immediately spoke.

"Naturally, that's exactly what I planned. Tomorrow, the Fangfang family will discuss with their lords whether to wait for the spring or before the spring flood?" The uncle and grandma asked politely.

"It's all good, look at the arrangements." Mrs. Ji said with a smile.

When discussing marriage, the mediators are mostly men, but when talking about marriage, it is still women who come forward.So in the end, it was Mrs. Ji who was talking, while Mr. Ji and Ji Shan were just listening.

Fang Zizhan also realized that the invitation just now was a bit reckless, so he drank a cup of tea and stopped talking.Fortunately, there are uncles and grandmas rounding the field, otherwise it is difficult to guarantee that new problems will not arise.

The marriage was almost finished, Fang Zizhan was about to get up and leave, but the Ji family insisted on keeping guests, and asked Ji Chen to invite the uncle over for a drink.

Fang Zizhan was embarrassed at first, but his uncle and grandmother helped to keep the guests, saying that they will be in-laws in the future, so there is no need to be too polite.Only then did Fang Zizhan stay and took the opportunity to learn more about Ji's family.

Instead of making a new choice after understanding, I was thinking about how to improve the situation of Ji's family without embarrassing them.

At this moment in the kitchen, Fang Xiaofu had already taught Ji Liu's sister-in-law to make egg blanks and steamed them in a steamer.Some are like steamed cakes, but the ingredients are different, and the steamed taste is also different.

Mrs. Ji Liu did not expect that the home-cooked ingredients could really make cakes. She was very pleasantly surprised. In the future, she would be able to make cakes by herself for children, which would still fill their stomachs, and adults could also eat them.

After knowing that they should stay for dinner, Fang Xiaofu also taught them to soak cured fish and cured meat in water dripped with vinegar, which can make the meat softer and less salty.

After that, boil hot water and wash it, cut into slices and stir-fry wild vegetables without salt, you can add a little chopped pepper according to taste, it will become very delicious, and it does not need to be hard to bite in large pieces.

In the farmhouse, no matter how poor the days are, as long as the pigs are killed during the New Year, there is still a lot of bacon.I'm just afraid that it will deteriorate too quickly. In order to be able to eat it from the beginning to the end of the year, even if the salt is not cheap, I will not put less salt.

Therefore, it often happens that hot water is boiled in summer to clean the bacon with green mold, and the bacon is as hard as firewood.

Then cut it into small pieces, stew shredded radish or dried beans, and stew it in a big pot. It is so salty that people tremble, and a pot of soup with belt can be eaten for several days.

The method Fang Xiaofu taught was a method that would allow people to appreciate the deliciousness of bacon, but Ji's family was unwilling to save money today, so the last thing they cooked was large pieces of bacon fried with wild vegetables.

Add another stewed dried beans with bacon, a fresh fish hot pot mat with big white radish in the cellar, a steamed cured fish with black bean sauce, and a stewed chicken soup.There is no fresh pork, because the butcher stools in the village are not open for Chinese New Year, and there are no other fresh vegetables except some wild vegetables.

But there is still a Chinese cabbage in the cellar, and a bowl of eggs was originally fried.Finally, under Fang Xiaofu's suggestion and demonstration, scrambled eggs with sauerkraut were made, saving several eggs for Ji's family, and it was an appetizer and dinner.

Finally, there is a large bowl of vermicelli under stewed bacon, which makes up eight large bowls.Such side dishes are not to be seen in Fang's family, but in ordinary farmers' houses, they are already regarded as eight bowls of noodles for entertaining guests.

In fact, if Fang Xiaofu makes a move, it can be adjusted, but she is a guest after all, and she just made some suggestions and demonstrations for the convenience of teaching steamed cakes, and dare not be too loud.

Ji's second uncle, Ji Shengying, and second aunt had nothing to do, and went out to dig wild vegetables. If they dig up some herbs and sell them to the village doctor, they can make a small profit.

At this time, when I got home, I realized that the marriage had been decided, and I happily greeted Fang Zizhan and Fang Xiaofu, and asked cryptically about the requirements for the dowry.

Naturally, Fang Zizhan would not ask for it, but he also noticed that Ji's family was embarrassed about this matter.After eating and leaving, he told his aunt and grandma to collect some silver taels in the name of Ji's parents, or lend some silver taels to Ji Chen.

After Wuziqiu starts work, Ji Shan will be arranged to work as an accountant. The salary is 20 taels for the first month and 30 taels for the second month. He will take care of lunch and not stay overnight.

This accountant is a connection between the bookkeepers of the workshops and the general account room, so there is no need to stay there all day long. The next morning, he will go to collect the accounts of the previous day, and then go back to do the classification and summary work, and then press Submitted to the general ledger monthly.
