Chapter 74 Housewarming Banquet

Cui Tao'er echoed Aunt Zhang's words: "What mother said is that there is a craft that is always popular."

When Fu Yan was in the village, she gave her family some snacks to taste. No one praised the taste. No wonder they were able to gain a foothold in this city.

If she also has a craft that can make money, Cui Tao'er thought, she can wake up happily even if she falls asleep!

Cui Tao'er picked up the fruits and pastries on the table and ate them slowly. She just thought about it for herself, but she would not ask Fu Yan to teach her.

Let's not mention whether this way of making money can be taught casually, even if Fu Yan is willing to teach, the mother-in-law can still give her back here.It's better to eat more delicious food, don't make yourself unhappy.

The female relatives in the room chatted with each other, and after a while, the door was knocked again.

"Maybe Brother Alie is back, I'll go and have a look." Fu Yan got up and went to open the door.

After a while, Sun Shisheng, the youngest son of the Sun family, came in with the meat and two fish.

The children who were playing in the courtyard saw that the little uncle was coming, so they stopped playing and jumped on him one by one.

"Alas, I can't hold it anymore, come down quickly, and be careful not to fall!" Sun Shisheng lowered his body and put the calf-like nephews back on the ground.

The Sun family members in the house all came out when they heard their laughter.

"Why are you here? Is everything okay in the restaurant?" Aunt Zhang asked Xiang's youngest son suspiciously, and they planned to visit him after dinner.

"Our shopkeeper knew that today is brother Xiao Lie's housewarming party, so he let me come over to play." Sun Shisheng handed the things in his hand to Fu Yan: "This is my brother's wish, sister-in-law, don't be disgusted."

Without waiting for Fu Yan to refuse, Aunt Zhang said: "Yes, yes, Ah Yan, accept it quickly. You know some etiquette." She nodded to her son, and couldn't help but pull him in.

Sun Shisheng scratched his head, smiled and said: "When I came, Master asked me to bring it here."

His master is Mr. Qi, the accountant of the restaurant, and shopkeeper He has some friendship with Xiao Lie.After hearing the news from Sun Shisheng that Xiao Lie was moving to open a shop in the city, he knew that the two of them were close, so he granted Sun Shisheng a half-day vacation.

Sun Shisheng entered the room, and Sun Changgeng chatted with his son about recent life.

When Xiao Lie came back with Sun Changming, the men in the room chatted even more passionately.

With Xiao Lie entertaining guests, Fu Yan went to the kitchen to prepare dinner.

After dinner, the Sun family had to rush back to the village before the curfew, so they had to get it done quickly.

Seeing that Fu Yan was going to the kitchen, Aunt Zhang and the wives also came to help.

"No, no, just sit and rest. How can I make you tired." The Sun family is wearing bright and good clothes for visiting relatives and friends today. The kitchen is full of smoke, so Fu Yan naturally didn't let the guests do anything. reason.

Aunt Zhang: "It's okay, don't pay attention to those things, you can go faster if someone helps you!"

In the end, Aunt Zhang asked her second daughter-in-law, Wang Shu, to help her: "Shu'er is the best in my family. Let her help you. Don't be too polite."

Wang Shu followed Fu Yan to the kitchen and opened fire.

Today's ingredients, Fu Yan, have already been prepared, as long as the vegetables are cut and stir-fried directly.

Seeing Fu Yan's quick hands and feet, Wang Shu simply sat down and lit a fire for her.

When Fu Yan cooks, she is willing to add oil and ingredients, and Wang Shu knows the basics of sugar and salt. When she saw that she actually put in something similar to traditional Chinese medicine spices when she fried meat and stewed soup, Wang Shu was shocked.

Seasonings are added to the oil, stir-fried in an iron pan, "呲~" The fresh, spicy and spicy food explodes in the whole kitchen.

As the dishes were put out of the pan one after another, Wang Shu's stomach turned from empty and hungry to numb.

Thinking of her mother-in-law praising her cooking skills in front of everyone just now, Wang Shu couldn't help but blush.

Fu Yan, who was standing in front of the stove, saw Wang Shu sitting there a little distracted from the steaming water vapor, and called out apologetically, "Sister-in-law, I'm sorry, the fire is ash, your clothes must have been dirty."

Wang Shu regained her senses, and answered Fu Yan softly: "It's okay, just dust it off later."

"Ah Yan, did you put any spices?" Wang Shu likes cooking, and seeing Fu Yan's generous attitude without covering it up, she mustered up the courage to ask.

Fu Yan nodded while cooking, and seeing Wang Shu was interested, he picked out some commonly used star anise, spicy and delicious peppercorns, etc., and introduced them to her.

Wang Shu listened meticulously, repeating every word and sentence in her heart silently.Although the family probably won't buy these, it's a good thing to know more about such valuable experiences.

It was not yet dark, but Fu Yan had prepared two cold dishes, six dishes and two soups.

Fragrant river delicacies, spicy Sichuan dishes, dry stir-fry, stewed meat in thick oil, and fresh and tender seasonal vegetables are all available.

Fu Yan ordered Xiao Lie to set up the table in the main hall and serve the dishes one by one.

"Come, come, sit down." Fu Yan beckoned everyone to sit down.

The unique aroma of the food scrambled into their noses and stomachs. Looking at the exquisite dishes that filled the entire table, everyone couldn't help swallowing.

Sun Shisheng secretly compared some home-cooked dishes, braised pork in brown sauce and steamed sea bass, their taste and color are actually better than the craftsmanship of their restaurant master chefs.

"Try it all, Ah Yan's craftsmanship is really good." Sun Changming took the initiative to greet the Sun family for them.

As soon as the dishes are eaten, all kinds of delicacies are beyond words. The fragrance and mellow have their own beauty. Even the spicy dishes make people sweat more and more delicious.

Everyone couldn't help speeding up their chopsticks movements, and even the children who couldn't eat much in the past and wanted to make a fuss sat upright and ate big mouthfuls.

Halfway through the banquet, everyone was half full, so they slowed down to eat and chat.

Because they had to go back to the village soon, the men didn't drink much.

Seeing that Xiao Jian and the two monkeys had eaten their fill, Sun Changgeng asked Xiao Lie: "I think Ah Jian has put on a little weight, so she should be in good health. Are you still taking medicine?"

When mentioning his younger brother, Xiao Lie also smiled and said: "I saw a doctor before, and said that our diet and life are well taken care of. From now on, we only need to take medicine once a month, and it will be fine for three months."

Xiao Lie is extremely happy that his younger brother can be raised up in good health, lively and laughing like an ordinary child.He glanced at Fu Yan who was sitting beside Rouwan, gently shook her hand and let go, it was all thanks to his wife.

His home has gotten better and better since she came.

The village chief and Aunt Zhang also breathed a sigh of relief, Xiao Jian's body was always in their hearts.Xiao Jian was thin and weak after birth, and even the crying was soft, which always made him worry that he would die if he didn't pay attention.

Sun Changgeng looked at Xiao Jian who was running and jumping in the yard, and asked, "Then are you going to send him to study? He is not much different in age from the two monkeys, so he will be promising in school."
