After several discussions in the courtyard, they finally decided on the person to host the banquet, Yu Shui's family at the west end of the village.

Speaking of which, Yu Shui was also an acquaintance, so Aunt Sun nodded in agreement as soon as Jiang Zhimiao was mentioned.

When Goddess Wang came over to make trouble, she heard him say a few fair words. Later, Jiang Zhimiao observed him carefully for a while, and he was considered a careful person. She would leave this meeting to him. One hundred peace of mind.

When the matter was almost settled, Jiang Zhimiao followed the address given by Aunt Sun to Yu Shui's house.

Yu Shui's house was not far from Wu Changsheng's house, and they arrived in a short time. Seeing that there was no one at the door, Jiang Zhimiao knocked on the door several times and shouted at the top of his voice: "Uncle Yu Shui, you are home." Really? I'm Jiang Zhimiao, please open the door quickly."

The door opened shortly after he finished speaking, and the thin black man slowly opened the door, smiled shyly, and said, "My boss, what's going on? Is there something going on at home?"

Seeing that both of them thought she came to the door because of an accident, Jiang Zhimiao was also speechless. She smiled and said, "Everything is fine at home and nothing happened. Then the house has been built, and we are going to have a banquet at home." It's a celebration of moving here. Aunt Sun said you were in charge of this before, so I'm here to invite you."

Since the beginning of winter, Yu Shui has not had a few meetings. When Jiang Zhimiao said this, he patted his chest and said cheerfully: "So that's what happened. I thought something happened at home. "

"I'm not bragging. You have found the right person for me when it comes to the banquet. If any family in these ten miles and eight villages has something to do, I will not be the first to consider my family. As long as you give me the banquet, I will take care of it for you." Pretty.”

Seeing what he said, Jiang Zhimiao felt relieved, and then the two discussed the process of doing things.

Things in the village are not as particular as those in the capital. The temperature in the far north is low and there are few vegetables and fruits. Yu Shui suggested using cabbage, radish and the like for vegetarian dishes, which can also reduce costs.

She had gone to the town to inquire before and found out that the soil here was not good and the temperature conditions were harsh, so in winter every family had either cabbage or radish.

If you want to change the taste, you have to pay several times more than the original price. As a result, except for those who are in good condition, ordinary people will turn green after eating cabbage and radishes in winter.

Jiang Zhimiao didn't want to be special, so she left all the vegetarian dishes to Yu Shui to decide, and said that after finalizing, she only needed to show the menu to her for review.

A table of banquets must have at least ten or eight dishes. The family is used to eating radish and cabbage with flowers. Therefore, Jiang Zhimiao also wants to grow some bean sprouts at home and grind some tofu for the banquet noodles. Add a dish.

In fact, she has already done this these days. When she was building a house, she built a special greenhouse. The kang in it was burned for six hours a day. She planted some vegetables and fruits in the house just to improve her home. taste.

The banquet must not be held at one or two tables, but at least there must be eight tables at ten. The few vegetables grown at home are not enough for them to fill their teeth. There are still eight days until the banquet, Jiang Zhimiao thought, She has to work harder these eight days.

She has no shortage of seeds. She just wants to grow some vegetables, fruits, etc. If anyone asks, she will say that she planted them when she lived in the sheepfold, and then moved them there, so that she will not cause trouble. People doubt.

Of course, the varieties that will appear on the table are all those that are already available in the market in winter. She is not stupid. If someone has a sharp eye and sees some dishes that shouldn't be there, they won't know how to order them when they get home. How to arrange her behind the scenes.The two discussed it for a while, and finally Jiang Zhimiao gave Yu Shui four taels of silver to handle the matter. Except for the vegetables grown at her home, the rest of the vegetables were left to him.

Yu Shui was immediately stunned when he saw her being so generous. After he accepted the money, he patted his chest and promised that the dinner would be arranged properly for her.

Seeing his assurance, Jiang Zhimiao smiled and agreed, then waved and went home.

Forty taels of silver was indeed a lot, but not a single ounce of the dishes that had just been agreed upon, not to mention condiments, was really not a loss for her if these four taels of silver could cover the entire banquet.

After living for so many days, Jiang Zhimiao knew the price of meat and vegetables. Even if there was not much left after a dinner, he would not have much left over, not to mention that he himself had to get some wages, four taels of silver, which was a little. There is plenty.

Jiang Zhimiao planned to use the remaining one or two silver dollars to hire his aunt to help cook. He already spent a lot of money on the dishes for the banquet. If he still had to pay for the extra money, I'm afraid he wouldn't have it in his own hands later. There was nothing good to be gained, not to mention what she had just said, the rest of the four taels of silver was his wages.

There wasn't much left, so if she deducted some of the cooking expenses, it would be a bit overwhelming. Besides, she still had money in hand, so there was no need to ask him to pay.

Jiang Zhimiao originally planned to talk to the people in the big house about the banquet in two days. After all, there was Grandma Jiang in the Jiang family who was obstructing her. She was in a good mood these days and really didn't want to see it. Her old face was angry.

However, when he met Jiang Mingzhu on the road, he saw that it would be a bad idea not to say hello if he met him head-on. Jiang Zhimiao took advantage of the greetings and told the story.

"Brother, have you just come back from town?" Jiang Mingzhu was walking towards home with his head buried in his chest. When he saw someone making a sound next to him, he looked sideways and saw Jiang Zhimiao standing in front of him and saying happily.

He was a man of few words by nature, so when he saw her asking like this, he hummed and walked home on his own.

Jiang Zhimiao was stunned to see him so heartless, but when she thought of his temper, she hurried over, stopped him with a smile and said:

"Brother, don't leave so fast. I haven't finished what I said yet. My family has moved to a new house. I'm going to hold a banquet on the [-]th. I wonder if the people from the big house will have time to come? "

Jiang Mingzhu has been working in the town these days. He only knew that Jiang Zhimiao had built a new house but did not know that he had moved in. After hearing what she said, he pondered for a moment and said in a deep voice:
"My dad and the others don't know. I probably wasn't at home that day. I'll tell them about this when I get back, but I don't know if I can go."

After saying that, he nodded and walked home without looking back, leaving Jiang Zhimiao standing there.

Seeing his retreating back, Jiang Zhimiao felt heartbroken for a while. Fortunately, she had already been notified of the matter. Whether they came or not was their own business. A cold wind blew by, and she gathered her clothes and followed him. Returned home after death.

After arriving home, he saw Wen Zhuqing taking the children to play in the yard. Seeing their little faces flushed while playing, Jiang Zhimiao was amused and soon joined them.
