Xianggong came from the mountains

Chapter 385 Many Guests
Xia Qinghe hasn't seen Xu Shi for a long time, and she doesn't know if Xu Shi has really changed.

She was afraid of the house, and Han Tu complained about Zhu Xiaochang. She stopped Han Tu who was about to leave: "You should know the reason why the old house is not for you. Xiaochang is lonely now, and Qinglian's parents are here for him. A little care, as his closest relatives, you can understand best."

She wanted to say that she couldn't understand and didn't expect anything. Han Tu seemed to be a good person so far, and she was still willing to communicate with him.

Han Tu resented Zhu Xiaochang before, thinking that Zhu Xiaochang would rather leave the house empty than let them live in it, but now he really doesn't hold grudges, Han Pozi never counted on them at all when she was alive, and now they still have the face to count on Zhu Xiaochang give them something.

Besides, they didn't give Zhu Xiaochang anything, never had anything.

As soon as Han Tu left, Zhu Xiaochang came out of the house. He heard what Xia Qinghe said to Han Tu just now, and now he is very grateful to Xia Qinghe.

"Qinghe, you don't have to treat him that well." He felt that he had never counted on Han Tu's family before, and he didn't intend to count on it now.

Xia Qinghe rolled Zhu Xiaochang's eyes and said: "I will leave here one day. It is better for you to have one more friend than one more enemy, and I hope you and Qinglian will live a good life, and you will not deal with these messy things. Time to suffer in vain."

She has thought of many things for Zhu Xiaochang, and she has been thinking about it recently when she plans to leave.

The preserved eggs are sealed, and you only need to wait until Qinglian is out of the moon to serve the full moon wine, and the preserved eggs can be eaten then.

Zhu Xiaochang has been actively working outside recently. When the ground outside is uneven, he pulls soil to fill it up. He also asks people to compact the ground. He even paves stones from the door to the river. Now he is full of energy, because no matter how tired he is, he can go back and see A baby in swaddling is content.

Xia Qinghe is also planning things for the banquet. She doesn't have to worry about people who cook and help, and everyone in the village can help. Aunt Chu and the others are better than each other, and she is also very satisfied.

An An is very well-behaved. When she is free, Qinglian's mother will take her out to bask in the sun. The task of taking care of Qinglian is completely handed over to Qinglian's parents and Dongmei. Qinglian's parents also understand Zhu Xiaochang and Xia Qinghe very well. Xia Qinghe and Zhu Xiaochang felt guilty when they were busy.

Especially looking at Xia Qinghe, neither of them knew what to say to be grateful.

Time always flies by quickly, and it seems that the full moon wine is about to be served, and Qinglian has also come out of the confinement. She has eaten better recently and hasn't exercised much. I think it's worth it.

The butcher has already made arrangements, and the pigs will be delivered to the banquet when the time comes, and those who are invited to help with the work have also been arranged. Xia Qinghe is more tired than ever before in the past half month.

But she was satisfied in her heart, and she didn't know why she was happy.

An An has grown up a lot compared to when she was born, and she sleeps obediently after eating every day, and only cries when she is hungry or tired, which makes Xia Qinghe full of praise.

Qinglian is full of happiness, and Zhu Xiaochang advises Qinglian thoughtfully every day.

Until Qinglian came out of the moon, it was finally time to hold a banquet.

There were a lot of people giving gifts, so Zhu Xiaochang planned the route a little bit and asked Zhu Pingan to accompany them to the treat.

Zhu Ping'an learned a lot of characters at the border, and now it is not a problem to recognize characters. As a person in the village who knows a little bit of ink, naturally he has the most things.

You have to invite the guests yourself to show that you value them and not despise the other party. Zhu Xiaochang is very grateful to those people who came to give gifts nearby, so he and Zhu Ping'an went to treat the guests according to the book.

One day in advance, Xia Qinghe was also preparing the things to be used tomorrow, and all the necessary things were bought back, and all the people in the village came to help when they killed chickens and fish. People in the village also took the initiative to send the tables for the banquet, and even brought the tables Putting them all in place, this relieved Xia Qinghe a lot.

All the ingredients were prepared by Xia Qinghe. She planned to marinate the vegetables today, marinate all the meat, stew and steam the vegetables tomorrow morning, and fry the two dishes at the end. The bowls used for the banquet were also borrowed from the village. Come, this banquet needs a lot.

Xia Qinghe initially calculated that there should be about forty tables of people, which is quite a lot. It is estimated that no one in the nearby ten miles and eight towns has such a good business.

Xia Qinghe didn't expect that when Zhu Xiaochang went out to treat guests and walked around, many people came to give gifts, which made Xia Qinghe and the villagers helpless. The originally prepared forty tables were now exceeded.

Aunt Chu looked at the people who came to give gifts continuously and worried: "Qing He, what do you think, why are there so many people here today, and it's impossible not to accept the gifts, and the food is not enough."

The most fearful thing about making a banquet is to prepare more than expected. Xia Qinghe has already prepared a few extra tables, but now there are so many people here.

Xia Qinghe was a little bit about to cry, but after thinking about the fact that the dishes he had prepared were not enough, he suddenly thought of a good idea.

"Aunt Chu, let's make more sweet potato jelly in the evening, and then soak the vermicelli in a pot. I remember that after killing the chicken, I asked to save all the chicken offal. I will make a chicken offal vermicelli tomorrow, and then mix it with jelly, and make a little more stew. , and prepare a little more steamed buns, and you can also make a sauerkraut vermicelli soup, which can also be taken care of." She said patiently, there are many of these things at home.

Aunt Chu also thought of a way and suggested: "There is another way, steam a little more yams, there are still some yams, steam a little more, so that everyone won't be hungry."

Xia Qinghe looked at the marinated meat in the pot, and asked Aunt Chu to kill a few more chickens, clean them and put them in the pot, and cut a large piece of pork and put them in the pot.

It is unrealistic to buy vegetables and come back. The only thing is to ask the butcher to send more meat tomorrow morning. The washed fat intestines and pork liver are also in the marinated pot, and the fragrance is overflowing.

The helper saved the meal, and the steamed buns were very comfortable to eat with braised pork.

Zhu Xiaochang and Zhu Ping'an didn't come back until midnight. They were very tired after walking all day. Zhu Xiaochang collapsed and picked up the chair as soon as he came back.

"I went to treat guests according to the book. I found out that there are places in all directions. Fortunately, we hired a carriage later. Otherwise, we would not be able to finish the run today. No one expected that we would treat guests to dinner. Many people did not come to us. I have to persuade again, so I wasted time." He explained patiently.

Xia Qinghe was also tired, so she took the notebook and handed it to Zhu Xiaochang: "After you left, dozens of people came to give gifts. We just have to find ways to prepare more dishes. I have invited all these people, and they will all come tomorrow."

Zhu Xiaochang didn't expect that so many people would come to give gifts, and stared at the names on it with surprise: "Why are there so many people, can Qinghe sit down tomorrow?"
