Sure enough, Lin He had already come over with egg custard. Seeing a few people, he quickly smiled and beckoned everyone to sit down.

Xie Jiang motioned to the servants behind him to give Li Changhui the gift he had brought. It was not an expensive gift, but a pot of orchids, which were in full bloom at the moment.

Li Changhui put the orchids in the hall, and when he came back, the servant had already left, Xie Jiang and his wife were already seated, and Lin He was bringing over a jug of wine.

It wasn't wine. The last time they were at Xie's house, Xie Jiang invited them to drink wine. It was still the same when they returned to the Qing Dynasty, which seemed a bit inappropriate.

It is the best bamboo leaf green wine bought in the county, and the price is not cheap.

Xie Jiang is not a person who loves wine, so seeing this can't help but brighten his eyes.

At this time, Nuan Nuan was sniffing hard, looking at the sweet and sour pork ribs in front of her, if Mrs. Xie didn't stop her, she might have already started.

"We don't have any servants in our house. Boss Xie, Mrs. Xie, please feel free, don't be polite."

Lin He gave the wine to Li Changhui, and then sat down opposite Mrs. Xie. Li Changhui sat with Xie Jiang and poured two glasses of wine by the way.

"Congratulations to Brother Li, Mrs. Sister-in-law, everything goes well when you move to the house, and you will be able to stay in the house for a hundred years on a good day."

Xie Jiang raised his glass to congratulate, Li Changhui drank it with a smile: "Thank you, let's eat first, the children are hungry, and the food is simple, so don't be disgusted."

Xie Jiang hurriedly said: "It's not simple, it's all big fish and big meat, others don't know, but I know that the things of Brother Li's house are not comparable to the outside world."

Lin He first filled Nuan Nuan and Mrs. Xie with a bowl of egg custard, and asked them to fill their stomachs first, and then eat vegetables.

Mrs. Xie took it with a smile: "Sister-in-law, don't call me Mrs. Xie, just call me Xiaoyu. Brother Li is commensurate with your husband and brother, so you and I don't have to be so polite."

Xie Jiang also hurriedly said: "That's right, my wife is the same as Brother Li, just call me Xie Jiang, don't call me Boss Xie, my father is Boss Xie."

That's right, in the grocery store in Yonghe Town, he was Boss Xie, but in Nanzhi County, he could only be regarded as the young boss.

Lin He followed suit: "Well, Xiao Yu, I heard that you like spicy and sour recently. Try this chicken blood. It tastes hot and sour. It tastes good, especially appetizing."

"Well, sister-in-law, you made it yourself. It tastes really good."

Although Mrs. Xie was a few years older than Lin He, Li Changhui was older than Xie Jiang. Xie Jiang called Li Changhui his eldest brother, and Lin He naturally became a sister-in-law.

Nuan Nuan was eating a small bowl of custard, and her mother put two pieces of sweet and sour pork ribs and a little sweet and sour pork on the small plate in front of her.

Unexpectedly, Nuan Nuan is only over two years old, but she can eat by herself very neatly. Her mother specially prepared a small bib, and gnawed the ribs directly, and ate the tenderloin with a small spoon.

After eating, I will have some steamed fish with spines and two pieces of pheasant chicken. I didn't expect Xiao Nuannuan to like to eat taro in stewed chicken soup. She ate two pieces without even leaving the rice.

Xie Jiang and his wife were very surprised.

"It seems that Nuan Nuan likes the dishes made by sister-in-law very much. When eating at home, she is not so active. Unless she is tired and hungry from playing, she will have to coax her for a long time every time she eats."

Mrs. Xie wiped the belching Nuan Nuan's hands and mouth with a handkerchief, very pleasantly surprised.

The little girl who usually spends so much time eating at home doesn't need to be rushed to eat today. Even when she is watching from the side, she feels that her appetite has improved a lot.

Lin He said with a smile: "It's not that my cooking is so delicious. It should be that Nuan Nuan also likes sweet and sour food. It's just that you can't eat more of these, or getting too fat will be bad for your health."

The sweet and sour taste, which child does not like it.

Mrs. Xie signaled Nuan Nuan, who had already left the table, not to run around, and just played in the yard. Xie Jiang next to her had already served her a bowl of chicken soup.

At this time, the food was almost finished, so Lin He went to the kitchen to serve some rice. Because there was a guest, she specially cooked white rice, instead of the usual rice at home, rice plus some brown rice.

"By the way, Brother Li, the last time you asked me to help you find the cattle and sheep, it's almost enough. As for the sheep, there are about fifty or so. This one is easier to find."

Xie Jiang took a sip of his wine and talked about what Li Changhui asked him to do before.

During this period of time, the Li family was busy opening up wasteland and farming, and Xie Jiang was also busy slowly taking over the business in the county. Except for the last dinner at Xie's house, neither of them had time to sit down and have a good chat.

"It's not that easy for cows, but we still managed to contact four calves and one adult cow. The family had some accidents recently and they needed to sell the cows. The price was right, 28 taels, a four-year-old mature cow."

"In this case, it's okay to lower the price, but I think that the family has been really struggling recently, and Brother Li is not short of the one or two taels of silver, so he didn't deliberately lower the price."

Li Changhui raised his glass: "Thank you, our field is almost cleaned up, and we can send the cattle and sheep here soon."

"Okay, no problem. In the afternoon, I will give orders to have the cattle and sheep brought over. If it is money, I will ask them to give it first. When it is delivered, Brother Li will just give it to those in charge."

After all, many sellers are in other villages and towns, and it is very troublesome for the farmers to go there by themselves. It is better to let them collect all the goods from the grocery store and send them over.

He also often helps Li Changhui do this kind of business, but this time he is doing business with living things.

The two quickly settled on this matter. As for Xie Jiang making money from it, this is also normal, and there is no need to let people go to waste. The reason for looking for him is to spend some money for convenience.

After lunch, Xie Jiang and his wife stayed for a while to chat, and Lin He took Mrs. Xie to see the twenty-acre vineyard.

Mrs. Xie was very surprised when she learned that Lin He specialized in making grape jam.

Twenty acres, if all the grain is grown, how much grain will be harvested every year.

But the surprise is the surprise, this is not a matter of my own family, Madam Xie didn't say much.

At this time, the workers were busy again. Mrs. Xie had obviously never been to the fields, nor had she seen how the crops were grown, so she was very curious at the moment.

If it weren't for her big belly, Lin He really wanted to take her to see it. Now, we can only talk about it later.

After turning around, Mrs. Xie was a little tired. Lin He quickly helped her back, just as Li Changhui had just sent Xie Jiang out, Nuan Nuan had already fallen asleep in Xie Jiang's arms, and the couple took their daughter and said goodbye and went home.

After seeing the two of them off, Lin He stretched his waist: "I'm so tired, Brother Hui, help me find an aunt to clean up the kitchen, I'll go to rest for a while, and I have to prepare delicious food for the children in the afternoon. "

I'm moving to a new house today, I've invited guests for lunch, so it's time to treat my little ones tonight.
