Chapter 78

It's almost time to talk, and it's noon time, ready to have dinner.

The dishes were served one after another, and when the fourth dish was served, the faces of Guo Xiumei and Xu Guoyou turned green.

The dishes served are, respectively, fried meat with diced lotus root - Mo, fried meat with diced celery - Mo, cold tofu - Mo, fried pork with shredded cabbage - Mo...

Eating at this table is all about ostentation, and what you want is a large piece of meat, a large piece of vegetables, and a big mouthful with chopsticks. This is how to treat guests with dignity.

These dishes are all made of minced meat, and the side dishes are also chopped into small pieces, which can't be picked up with chopsticks at all, and it's impossible to scoop them up with a spoon (greedy) regardless of face.

When one of Zhang Yuling's relatives saw this dish, he couldn't help laughing: "Dear family, this is too good at living. It's all made of diced meat. Is it because we are afraid that we will eat vegetables? It turns out that saving money is not enough To be able to save so much, we have learned a trick.”

It seems that the woman mistakenly thought that the Xu family made such a move on purpose, so she was very dissatisfied.

As soon as the words fell, mocking expressions appeared on the faces of the woman's relatives.

The relatives on the man's side suddenly felt very embarrassed.

Su Luo looked at his nose with rainy eyes, and lowered his head silently.

I still remember that when Xu Guoyou went shopping for groceries yesterday, Guo Xiumei specially reminded that he must buy enough groceries, and he would rather not have enough groceries, just to make Xu Mingtao face when we meet today, and it should be impossible to make such a stingy impromptu move.

Then here, it should be the one who cooks, the old head Xu who seemed to have a good relationship with Xu Mingzhe when they got married.

It seems that the old head Xu was dissatisfied with the too rich dishes this time, so he wanted to humiliate Guo Xiumei and Xu Guoyou once.

Guo Xiumei blushed again and again after being laughed at by the big guys, she immediately stood up, and smoothed things over with an embarrassed smile: "Old Xu in our village is famous for making banquets, and you Zhangjia Village should also listen to it." As I said, today, for Yuling, I went to great lengths to invite him to cook, maybe this is a new dish he made, everyone should try it first, and I, too, will ask... "

With that said, Guo Xiumei hurriedly left the table and walked towards the kitchen.

And as soon as he left the east room door, he saw Xu Guoyou hurried out from the main room.

"Old man, what's going on with this old Mr. Xu? Why did he make it all diced meat? I was almost buried to death by Yu Ling's family!" Guo Xiumei asked while pulling Xu Guoyou.

Xu Guoyou was also baffled: "How would I know, when I saw something was wrong with the food, I hurried out to ask what was going on. When I got up early in the kitchen, I saw that old Xu was clearly slicing meat."

The two of them didn't know why, so they came to the kitchen one after the other.

In the kitchen room, it was foggy and smoky, and old Xu was waving a large iron spoon, frying the next dish - fried minced potatoes with diced potatoes!
When Guo Xiumei saw the dishes in the pot, she became anxious all of a sudden, and grabbed Old Xu's head: "What are you doing, what kind of dishes are you cooking here!"

Old Xu replied unhurriedly: "Don't blind yourself, fried pork with potatoes."

Guo Xiumei was choked and speechless for a long time, and then saw that there was a small pile of minced pork on the chopping board, and suddenly became very angry: "All the pork is chopped into minced meat, and all the vegetables are given to you." Wasted!"

The point is to screw up this big meeting!

When Old Xu Tou heard this, he threw the iron spoon back into the pot with a bang, glared at Guo Xiumei, turned around and left.

Guo Xiumei was startled: "What are you doing?"

"What do you care about me! I have been cooking for so many years, and the first time I heard someone say that I spoiled the food, come on, you are not easy to serve, so why not if I don't serve?" The cigarette that was stuffed for him in the morning was thrown on the ground with a "snap", and he left without looking back.

"Look, what are you doing!" Xu Guoyou glared at Guo Xiumei, picked up the cigarettes on the ground, and hurried to chase old Xu.

No matter what, this dish has to be finished. At this moment, four dishes have just been served, and the rest are gone. What's the matter?

Xu Guoyou didn't care about anything else, so he hurriedly caught up with old Xu to say good things.

But the old Mr. Xu ignored him, said a lot of nasty things, and left Xu's house.

After Xu Guoyou chased him for a while, he could only return angrily.

Seeing that Xu Guoyou returned alone, Guo Xiumei hurriedly asked, "Old man, why haven't you seen old Xu?"

"You still have the guts to say it!" Xu Guoyou had just eaten a meal at the old Xu Tou's, and now he was anxious when he saw Guo Xiumei, and his eyes glared: "It's just you, you don't stop every day, you have lost your popularity, Let's see what to do with the leftovers!"

Let's talk, Xu Guoyou walked into the main room to accompany the others.

Guo Xiumei was left behind and stomped her feet angrily.

Why can she be blamed on her alone? This is what Old Xu did wrong, so why can't she say it?

But if she is angry, she is angry, what to do with the leftover dishes, she still has to go to the table to entertain, and she can't leave alone.

After much deliberation, Guo Xiumei called Xu Mingjiao out and told her to go to the kitchen to make do with the leftover vegetables.

Xu Mingjiao was unhappy when she heard it: "Mom, I don't cook well, so you ask Su Luoyu to cook."

"When is this, and you still mention her? Let go of personal grievances first, okay? Letting Su Luoyu sit on the table is not for her to enjoy leisure, but for Zhang Yuling to watch!" Guo Xiumei anxiously reprimanded Xu Mingjiao Get up: "You are obedient, stir-fry the leftover vegetables, and when the Chinese New Year comes, Mom will buy you two more new clothes. That's all right."

Xu Mingjiao reluctantly agreed with her lips pursed.

Guo Xiumei then went back to the east room.

"Dear family, why have you been away for so long, and you have asked about this dish?" Zhang Yuling's second aunt, Luo Xiaofang, asked without mercy.

"Oh, I just asked." Guo Xiumei immediately smiled all over her face: "This is a dish newly researched by old Xu Tou. It doesn't look good, but it's delicious!"

good to eat?

The faces of the people at the table were all very ugly.

Luo Xiaofang also laughed softly: "You can keep it for yourself if it's delicious! We can't enjoy it!"

After talking about this point, Guo Xiumei also felt that she couldn't hold back her face, and she was also very puzzled.

Liu Aiying touched Guo Xiumei's arm, and reminded her in a low voice, "Sister-in-law, this dish is salty and bitter, you can't swallow it at all!"

Guo Xiumei's complexion suddenly became gloomy, and she tasted it with chopsticks in disbelief. It was really unpalatable, so she took a sip of tea to relieve the discomfort in her mouth.

"That, this, it's our rule. It's called Yikusibeet. It's just to let the young couple think about the hard times in the past, and live a good life in the future..." Guo Xiumei laughed: "Speaking of which, this is also the old one. It’s a rule, few people use it now, old Xu’s head is too big, he always follows the rules of his ancestors..."
