As soon as the application time passed, guests came to the door one after another.

In addition to some good friends in the village, several guests also came from the county town.Shopkeepers Chen from Liuchen Store, shopkeeper Zhou from Fuyuan Store, shopkeeper Zhao from Shengping Store... basically all the shopkeepers from several stores that have business dealings with Fushengji came.

It was the first time for the storekeepers to come to Li's Village, and they found Li Shou's house after asking people all the way.Unexpectedly, what they saw was such a dilapidated small courtyard, which surprised them all.

After receiving the letter, Li Shou and Li Mingyue went to greet them at the door.

After several months of experience, Li Shou was able to say a few polite words, I saw a suitable smile on his face, cupped his hands and said: "I didn't know that the honored guest was here, so Li was too far away to welcome you. Forgive me."

Shopkeeper Chen and the others clasped their fists in return, "Brother Li, you are welcome."

It was the first time to visit, shopkeeper Chen and the others naturally didn't want to come empty-handed, each of them was followed by two servants, holding a few big brocade boxes in their hands.

When rich families visit and give gifts, they all have to sing the gift list.A servant behind shopkeeper Chen handed the gift list sprinkled with gold and red paper to Li Mingyue. Li Mingyue was stunned for a moment before she realized it, and handed the gift list to Li Mingzhi who was beside her, and said in a low voice: "Brother, Read the contents of this gift list aloud."

Although Li Mingzhi didn't understand what kind of courtesy this was, he cleared his throat and read aloud: "Liu Chen Goods Shop, shopkeeper Chen, send: three pieces of silk and satin, three pieces of cotton cloth, six altars of green bamboo leaves, and six pieces of various snacks from Daoxiang Village." box."

……

After reading eight gift lists in a row, Li Mingzhi's mouth became parched, and the villagers who watched the excitement were stunned... The people in the city are really generous, eating pig rice for the New Year, and giving such generous gifts.

Eight carriages were parked neatly outside the gate of Li Shou's house.This ancient horse-drawn carriage, similar to modern cars, is a means of transportation for rich people, but anyone who can use a horse-drawn carriage is either rich or expensive.

The villagers were all discussing that Li Shou's family was about to catch up with Landlord Sun's in terms of slaughtering pigs.

There are not too many rules when eating pig rice, and the food is always hot in the pot.When a table of people came, they served a table of dishes. Shopkeeper Chen and several distinguished guests were arranged on the big kang in the main room.

In addition to several shopkeepers from the county, Li Shouyi and the old patriarch were also arranged at this table, accompanied by Li Shou and Grandpa Liu.

Garlic white meat, braised pork, steamed pork ribs, fried pork, steamed sausage, pork stew vermicelli, twice-cooked pork, fried pork liver, yam pork rib soup, braised pork head meat, homemade tofu, cold radish shreds.

There are a total of twelve dishes, which fill a kang table.Even the big shopkeepers who are used to delicacies from mountains and seas couldn't help but twitch their index fingers when they saw such a table of delicious dishes.

The plate of stewed pork head meat was red in color, thinly sliced ​​and neatly stacked on the plate. It looked delicious.Shopkeeper Zhao couldn't help picking up his chopsticks. After tasting it, he was even more surprised. The taste was mellow, fat but not greasy, and it was a good dish to accompany wine.

Shopkeeper Zhao picked up another chopstick, and introduced to everyone: "Everyone, try this dish, it tastes very fresh."

Li Shou explained with a smile: "This is braised pork head meat made by my little girl. It tastes even better when dipped in the bowl of onion and garlic juice next to it. This dish is suitable for drinking. You can drink a few more glasses tonight."

If shopkeeper Zhao can praise the taste, it must be really good.Everyone raised their chopsticks one after another, and after a while, they ate up a plate of stewed pork head meat.
