Chronicle of Farming in Muxianfu

Chapter 92 The Birthday Banquet Opens (Pink 70 Plus!)
The autumnal equinox is putting snacks on the lotus flower plate. In the six petals, there are thinly sliced ​​cakes, golden shortbread, meat buns with mushroom sauce, fried spring rolls, cinnamon biscuits, red bean paste and plum blossom cakes. The six kinds of snacks have different colors. Different, put together, it is really pleasing to the eye.

Qiao Niang couldn't help holding a plate and looking at it carefully, but she couldn't like it enough, the big kitchen was almost busy, so Aunt Guo left her here to help make snacks for the autumn equinox, which made her very happy.

Autumn Equinox has a good temper, and she chatted with her with a smile, because there are rules in her house, and after hearing Qiao Niang's praise of the exquisite and delicious dim sum, Autumn Equinox didn't dare to talk about how to make it, so she smiled and asked her to treat everything well. Taste it, but Qiaoniang only picked up a bun with mushroom sauce and ate it in small bites. She secretly estimated the ingredients and planned to make some for her son's birthday in a few days.

Seeing that she likes it at the autumn equinox, it is rare to be a master and teach her the simple ingredients and steps. Anyway, this dim sum Xianke Restaurant has been given to other restaurants for free for half a year, and there is no suspicion of leaking.

At the beginning of noon, some old people from the village began to come to the door. Muai pulled Shuan Shuan and went to the gate together, and invited the elders to come in with a smile. For the senior old man, Lian Fu and some respectable men in the village sat at the remaining two tables.In the left and right wing rooms sat the old lady's old sisters and middle-aged women who should be called aunts.In the yard, under the shed, there were two tables of men with low seniority, separated by a screen, and two tables of young daughters-in-law sat on the other side, including the second sister-in-law Liu and the sixth sister-in-law who were invited by Aunt Guo after finishing their work.

The little girl served snacks and tea to each table first, and everyone picked up the most delicious ones while eating and praising them. The old lady was dressed richly and joyfully. She smiled like a blooming chrysanthemum.

Shuan Shuan had picked up a few of her childhood playmates and three or four older girls to eat snacks in her yard, because she had sent a post in advance stating that today was also Shuan Shuan's birthday, so the girls They all gave their own embroidered purses or handkerchiefs and other small things as birthday gifts, and they gathered together to laugh and talk about jewelry and clothing materials, and occasionally took out their favorite embroidery products to discuss embroidery patterns and color matching.

Mu Ai took Simba to exchange greetings with the old village chiefs. The fat boy's cute and well-behaved appearance was very popular with the old men, and no one could help teasing him.He is no longer as cognizant of life as he used to be, saying the few festive words his mother taught him last night, like Bengdou, to everyone he meets.Coaxed a few old men to say that they will be promising in the future.

The topic of everyone turned around and talked about planting new vegetables next year. Mu Ai took the opportunity to propose to buy all the [-] acres from the edge of her family's field all the way to Dongshan and the foot of Shenshan.

The old men readily agreed, one is to thank her for leading the villagers to make a fortune, the second is to expect her to make them earn more money next year, and the third is that it is closer to the sacred mountain, except for her family expanding outwards. , and there will be no villagers who want to open up wasteland and farm over there.Lian Fu also gave a favor, and immediately made an appointment with Guo Huai to go to the city to work together tomorrow.

Mu Ai saluted and thanked Lian Fu, and Lian Fu quickly returned the gift. At this time, it was less than a quarter of an hour before noon, and the spring equinox directed the little girls to remove the snacks and tea, and began to set up the bowls and chopsticks. plate and a jar of fine osmanthus wine.

Mu Ai went to the West Wing and asked the old lady to come back and take a seat. Xiao An served longevity noodles respectfully. In the whole small bowl was a round, long noodle with no end and no end, which symbolized the meaning of reunion and happiness. In the middle of the bowl lay a white and red poached egg, and a few emerald green scallions were sprinkled in the soup.

Guo Huai shouted auspicious words loudly, explaining the meaning of this bowl of longevity noodles to everyone.

The old lady also found it novel, and ate it with a smile. The spring equinox put the cushions in the middle again. Mu Ai led Shuan Shuan and Simba to kowtow to the old lady to celebrate her birthday. She was an old lady in a mountain village who had suffered for half her life, but because she saved a wounded woman, she had no worries about food and clothing, and even enjoyed the glory she is today. How could this make her not excited or proud.

Everyone below, this old sister-in-law, you are so lucky.That one said, his fourth aunt, your good intentions are rewarded, which made the old lady happy again.

Mu Ai quickly ordered the hot dishes to be served, and one after another the delicious dishes were put on the table one after another. The old lady smiled politely, and then went back to the West Wing to sit with the old sisters, even if she is the protagonist today, according to the rules You can't sit with men either.Although everyone in the hall tried their best to maintain their image, they still ate and drank happily with their chopsticks like rain hitting the beach.

Mu Ai was afraid that Simba would be hungry, so he told Xia Zhi to find something to cushion him in the small kitchen, and then asked Guo Huai to take care of the male guests in the hall and yard to serve wine and food.

She went to the east and west rooms first, and listened to the compliments from the elders called grandma or aunt. The fat aunt thought she knew Mu Ai very well, and after pulling her to ask about the dress and jewelry, she almost asked her if she had any questions. How much money is there.Mu Ai responded indifferently, and there was someone who could look at the eyes next to her, and she pulled the fat aunt to say something else, and then she got out, toasted a few glasses of wine to the elders, and told the little girl to add two plates of food that they liked Fried eggplant and tofu in honey sauce.

Then they came out again, sat at Qiaoniang's table in the yard and chatted for a few words, and ordered someone to add a plate of candied sweet potatoes for them. East across the courtyard.

After walking a few steps and blowing the air, except that my face was still a little hot, my head was much clearer, not as dizzy as before.Chunfen helped her lean against the old lady's inner room for a while, and after eating two pieces of snacks, she went to the west room to see Shuan Shuan's table of young guests.
Seeing Mu Ai coming in, the little girls Xiaohong and Erya who were acquainted with each other on weekdays all smiled and stood up to say hello, and the girls who were fourteen or fifteen years old were more shy and reserved.It was also the first time for Mu Ai to meet them, so she couldn't be too casual, so she just said a few words of politeness, and ordered Chun Equinox to go to her room to bring a tray, and each of them gave a delicate purse as a meeting gift, which contained only A wishful knot made of two red and gold threads twisted together.

This purse was also drawn by her. The last time I went to the city, I asked someone to embroider it at Xiao's Embroidery Village. There were fifty of them in total, and they were used as gifts for the New Year. I didn't expect to celebrate the old lady's birthday on a whim this time. Use it first, as for putting wishful knots in the purse, she decided after much deliberation. Girls may not be able to accept gold and silver jewelry. Sending these are worthless, but delicate and delicate things, girls They'd rather like it.

Sure enough, as she expected, this gift was very popular, and even the shy and quiet girls began to ask how to weave this wishful knot.

Mu Ai smiled and said, today is a busy day, and I invite them to come and do needlework with Shuan Shuan often in the future. The master who taught Shuan Shuan Nuhong to weave this section is very good, and the girls happily agreed.

The older girls are almost all engaged and will get married in a year or two, so in order to avoid suspicion, they embroider their dowry at home and rarely go out. But when they visited a widowed woman’s house, they He is not afraid of offending his tongue.

In the past, they also heard about Mrs. Xian from their aunts and sisters-in-law, but they had never seen the real person. Now when they saw her, they all felt that she was as kind as their big sister, and they could draw new embroidery patterns, weave locks, and love Shuan Shuan. It's so good, I don't feel restrained in my heart anymore, chatting about some female red kitchen work while eating, the room is also lively.

Mu Ai couldn't help but nodded as she watched Shuan Shuan looking like a master serving dishes and snacks.Inviting these girls to the banquet is just to let Shuan Shuan get along with girls of the same age or even older, and in the future, they will often walk around and socialize. There are also benefits to character growth.

Mu Ai stayed with them for less than a quarter of an hour, told Shuan Shuan a few words, and then went out to continue socializing.

It took a full hour for this banquet to dissipate. The wine and food were full, and the guests and hosts had a good time.Mu Ai smiled again and asked the girls to bring everyone a bag of snacks to go home to coax the children, which made everyone praise them. A bowl of soup, chatted with the old lady for a few gossips, afraid that she would be too tired, put her to sleep for a while, and told Ruyi to take good care of her without mentioning it.

Just talking about Li Sheng's family in the west courtyard, sitting around the table, eating fried spinach and dry noodle cakes, smelling the aroma of the food in the east courtyard, their faces were a bit ugly, Li Sheng rarely complained and glared at Gu Shi, feeling a little guilty in his heart , Today is his own mother's birthday. As a son, he can't hold a birthday banquet, and he can't attend it if someone else organizes it. Who asked him to marry a tigress.

Gu's stared back at him fiercely, so frightened that he immediately lowered his head and gnawed on the pancakes before giving up.Huzi was still a child, how could he resist the temptation of delicious food and excitement, several times he wanted to run over to play, but Gu pulled him back.He lost his temper and began to lie on the ground, rolling and crying. Mrs. Gu had no choice but to coax him softly, regretting that when she went to the city with her fat aunt a few days ago, she should not be reluctant to part with those tens of pennies. When the fruit came back, it was easier to coax the son at this time.

But today, no matter how much she coaxed her to persuade him, and promised a few delicious foods, Hu Zi just refused to obey. Of course, she would not blame her son for his lack of manners and upbringing, but hated Mu Ai instead. Let's embarrass my family together. It's not that the old lady has no son, so why did she go to someone else's house to celebrate her birthday? Isn't it because she dislikes her son and no one's family is rich?If the two acres of land were really counted as planting ginger and garlic, she would be a rich man.

The more I thought about it, the more I hated it. Suddenly, out of the corner of my eye, I saw the fat lady carrying a bag and passing by the door. She quickly pulled him in, "Fatty lady, did you just come out from the next door after drinking?"

It was the first time for Fat Auntie to see such a big scene today, and she was looking for someone to brag about, so she told her about the setting, the dishes, the old lady's golden hair, the brocade dress, and finally Tapping her mouth, she sighed, "If only I could have such a granddaughter!"

　I finally changed it. I had no idea yesterday and sent it wrong. It actually overlapped a part.
