The rural life of a peasant girl

Chapter 55 Golden Corn

Su Ling's grandparents received the news early and wanted to come to help, but it happened that Wang Jianlin was caught in the wind and cold, and was delayed for two days, so he drove over early this morning to help, and finally it was just when the sky was getting dark arrive.

People in the village either came to help, or came to have a banquet, all with a handful of green vegetables, or two catties of white noodles, or dozens of copper coins. Do what you can.

When Wang Mu came, he pulled a cart full of things, and there was half a leaf of fresh pork, which should have been killed in the early hours of this morning.

As soon as Su's mother heard that someone was coming from her natal family, she rushed out and told Wang Mu and Wang Wei (Su Ling's uncle) to move the things. Su Ling called her grandmother and aunt into the house, and Wang Caiyun also Then came, Wang Jianlin might be in good health, he didn't look very energetic, even Su Ho was sleepy when he greeted him.

"Ling'er, go get busy! There are a lot of guests today, so you don't need to accompany us." Su Ling's eldest aunt (Chen Shi) said.

"Yeah, I'll greet the others later." After leading them to their separate room, they served tea and snacks.

Mrs. Li is also a person who can't sit still, so she went out to help after a short time, while Mrs. Su Ling's grandmother, Mrs. Chen, was pooh-poohed by Mrs. Su, nagging about her family's troubles. Mrs. Su didn't want to come this time, but she Wanting to see the bustling scene of the so-called Dayan village, and Grandpa Su's order, he had to leave the house.

But she said that Grandma Su seldom stepped out of the courtyard since she stopped working in the field, and stayed in the house all day without doing any work. If she knew that this banquet would stimulate her in the near future, I think she must It won't come out, of course, this is later, I will talk about it later.

Soon, the chef in the back kitchen had already started cooking, and the men in the front yard who had finished their work gathered around and chatted about the harvest and what happened there.

Some people who had received sweet potatoes from Su Ling's family were discussing with Su's father that they would buy sweet potato seedlings from Su's family to plant sweet potatoes in the coming year, and they were still asking Su's father for advice on how to plant them. Interested and want to plant.

"One of today's vegetables is made of sweet potatoes, you can try it out."

Not long after, most of the dishes were almost ready, and Fifth Aunt Su came late with a few children, and as soon as Su Zhen arrived, she rushed directly to the kitchen.

Seeing the fried meatballs in the kitchen, he wanted to reach out for them, but the chef gave him a yell. In the end, the chef gave him a few before going out.

And Aunt Su's daughter, Su Man, directly reserved a table and announced to the people around that no one else was allowed to sit there. Aunt Su watched everyone busy with her three-year-old son and walked around. Yes, make a sentence here and a sentence there, and do nothing.

Su Qin didn't come here until it was almost time to eat. He was sleeping when everyone was busy.As soon as he arrived, he bragged to everyone about which high-ranking official he knew. In fact, everyone knew an official in Qingshi Town. Su Qin had never been out, so how could he know other high-ranking officials? Except for the only scholar, everyone was afraid that he would really become an official one day, and they were unwilling to offend him, so they just listened to his words and smiled, with one ear coming in and the other out.

"Second brother! I said why is the sky so high below your house? It's a waste of energy." Seeing that everyone ignored him, Su Qin could only pretend to talk to this second brother who usually seemed kind.It's just that as soon as you say this, you will be silent. On this happy day, when someone enters a new house, you are here to say how bad the new house is. No one will be happy if you change it.

When Su's father heard Su Qin's words, he ignored him directly. When Su Qin saw that his second brother ignored him, he felt embarrassed and pretended to cough to cover up his embarrassment.

The two chefs worked very closely together in a division of labor, and quickly made ten dishes with the existing materials, and they were perfect. There were six meat dishes alone, one with braised meat, one with croquettes, chicken, duck, and goose. One each, one beef dish, three vegetarian dishes, and one cold dish.

Anyway, for so many years in Huaxi Village, this is the most sumptuous banquet, and it is unprecedented.

"Don't grab it, it's mine, mine." Su Zhen slapped away the chopsticks of a child in the same village who was seated with him. It stands to reason that the immediate family members of the Su family have not been able to eat at the table so quickly, so they have to work hard. She greeted the guests to sit down, but Fifth Aunt Su didn't move when she sat down, and she ate after everyone's dinner. Mother Su didn't want to be ashamed on such a good day, so she didn't bother her much.

It's just that now this nephew dares to slap other people's chopsticks, and she doesn't let other people eat, so she has to take care of it. The final result is that Aunt Su's family of five occupies a table of ten people, and the rest can only be rearranged. up.

Su's father also specially set up a water mat outside the courtyard, anyone who came could eat it, and no gift was accepted.

The third grandma, who was not used to seeing the good life of Su Ling's family, also brought her little grandson over to the banquet, and took away a large bowl of meat and vegetables. Taking this opportunity to give a little gift, to curry favor with the Su family, to see if they have found any way to make money, or how can they get such a big yard all at once.

The village head was accompanied by Grandpa Su, Wang Mu, Father Su and several brothers from the Su family, who made the first-class seats and arranged them in the living room.

"Someone is coming from Tianyue Restaurant."

Upon hearing this, Su Ling rushed out to greet her.

It turned out that Duanmuyu sent someone to give gifts after knowing that her family moved into the new house.

A carriage of things, all kinds of game, pheasant, hare, and half a leaf of wild boar, cloth, snacks, jewelry boxes, etc. Aunt Su looked at the fine-grained Linglou silk and satin, and touched it with her hands. , his eyes lit up, and he wanted to open the jewelry boxes to have a look, but Su Ling had sharp eyes, seeing that Feng Shi wanted to open them, he immediately hugged those jewelry boxes in.After Su Dong wrote down everything, everyone in the compound saw the delicate cloth and all kinds of things, and they were all very moved.

In short, the banquet this time when the Su family moved into the new house was very successful, and everyone returned home happily. After many years, everyone talked about this banquet full of praise.

After the banquet was over, Mother Su sealed five taels of silver to each of the two invited chefs, and then sent them away after eating. The two took the generous reward silver and ate a sumptuous dinner. , are very happy.

After a busy night, Su's mother divided the pork sent by Wang Mu into one hanging and one hanging, and she also took points for the rest. Not much, but heartfelt.

Wang Mu and Li Shi also worked hard for a day. After the helpers cleaned up all the things, Mother Su distributed the leftover meat and vegetables to everyone.Especially Aunt Li, Zhou Guihua and Qin Fang who were very late to help, and Mother Su specially gave a large portion.
