There are not many wastelands in Tianshui Village. Jiang Zhimiao chose the two good ones. The rest were either too far away or the terrain was not good.

The land chosen by Jiang Xingsuo's family happened to be near Jiang Zhimiao's family.

At first, she didn't think it was anything if she didn't hear Fang Huaihua say it. Now that she knows that people are going there to have a banquet, it seems that she can vaguely hear the chatter of everyone drinking and eating meat.

Yu Shui had been busy in the kitchen, but he didn't notice anything different outside. Now when the food was served, he realized that no one was there. He was confused and depressed, feeling deeply sorry for Jiang Zhimiao.

Not everyone can afford a banquet worth five taels of silver, and not everyone can afford to eat it. How many times in a typical village can you eat such a decent banquet in a lifetime?
Looking at the few people sitting at the table, Yu Shui frowned and spat at the laughter coming from Jiang Xingsuo's house, "You ignorant thing!"

Not many people came, so naturally there were many empty seats on the table. Seeing that there were seats available, Jiang Zhimiao took his family and sat down together.

Originally, she thought there would be a lot of people here, so she specially prepared an extra table. However, contrary to expectations, there were many more people, and Jiang Zhimiao also sat at the table with the guests.

Speaking of which, the dishes on the table are quite common, but the beef pot is very rare. The cattle in this era are all cattle. Generally speaking, if they do not die of illness or old age, they cannot be slaughtered at will. If there is any arrogance, Once discovered, it was possible to be beheaded and imprisoned.

She had just mentioned it before, saying that it would be nice to have a beef pot, but Yu Shui said that his father-in-law happened to have a cow that was old and was about to die, and was about to slaughter it and sell it.

Jiang Zhimiao didn't have much hope at first. After all, the status of cattle in this dynasty was equivalent to that of giant pandas. Who knew it was such a coincidence that Yu Shui's family had one. Thinking that she hadn't eaten beef for a long time, she asked He bought twenty pounds of beef and came back.

A beef pot with green vegetables and bean sprouts made everyone sweatdrop on their foreheads.

"Hiss, darling, this pot tastes so good. Fortunately, I didn't go to Da Jiang's house to eat it. If I knew there was a beef pot but couldn't eat it, I would regret it to death. "

"Harm, who says it isn't? Fortunately, you told me before that her family bought tofu and a lot of hard vegetables. Otherwise, I would have been persuaded by that Jiang Xingsuo like everyone else. Sophora japonica, luckily I have you."

Fang Huaihua and Yang Shumei were sweating profusely from eating, and kept hissing, taking vegetables out of the pot without stopping. From Jiang Zhimiao's point of view, the chopsticks were left behind in their hands.

Seeing them eating happily, Jiang Zhimiao felt comfortable, but the way they looked like they were grabbing the food until their faces turned red still made her feel a little funny.

At the same time, Jiang Xingsuo's family.

Mrs. Lin couldn't bear to see Jiang Xingsuo and Mr. Zhao going back and forth to greet the guests, and her heart almost turned green with regret.

Braised pork, sticky bean buns, goose stewed in an iron pot, chicken stewed with mushrooms, looking at the dazzling array of dishes on the table, Lin's heart was not filled with joy, but bleeding.

She, the mistress of the second wife, was not as important in the hearts of the Jiang family as Jiang Xingsuo's pretending to be crazy, which really made her feel hopeless.

Nowadays, a main wife is not as good as a concubine. She doesn't know who to talk about the pain in this, so she can only grit her teeth and swallow it in her stomach, living a very miserable life.

Life was already difficult, but Grandma Jiang even lent her 50 taels of silver. She was unwilling to do so, but she still had a virtuous and virtuous look on her face.Seeing the couple in the fourth house eating with their mouths full of oil and being so happy that they didn't know what to do, Lin felt a deep sense of powerlessness in her heart.

Seeing the dissatisfaction in his wife's eyes, Jiang Xingshuo felt uncomfortable in his heart. He had originally said that he would live his own life after the family was separated, but his wife was unable to carry out her duties and insisted on letting his family pay 50 yuan. Two silver dollars will be used to subsidize four houses.

He didn't want to borrow it, but she suppressed it with filial piety. In the end, he could only borrow the 50 taels of silver in frustration and watched it go down the drain.

Counting the money borrowed from other houses, the fourth house now has 150 taels of silver in hand. Speaking of which, this banquet was held with their own money.

Jiang Xingshuo also pretended to be generous and squandered freely without saying a word, taking all the credit on himself, which made Jiang Xingshuo feel very uncomfortable.

As the host, Jiang Xingsuo, after two sips of wine, was standing in the middle of the courtyard with a flushed face and a bulging belly. He held up a cup and shouted with a smile: "Today, I, Jiang, are celebrating the housewarming, so everyone should eat with open stomachs. No matter what, Eat and drink as much as you want, don't save money for me, eating well and drinking well is the best congratulations to me, Mr. Jiang."

Upon hearing this, a trace of disgust flashed across Jiang Xingshuo's face. He tilted his head and muttered through gritted teeth, "I don't know."

I wanted to say a few more words to him. After all, his family suffered a loss this time. The 50 taels of silver must have been wasted. It was strange that he could come back with his character. Without any hope, he wanted to There was a sullen expression on his lips.

Unexpectedly, before a few words were said, the crowd suddenly became commotion. Everyone was restless, looking left and right, and sniffing the unknown fragrance in the distance.

"Smells, it smells so good. What kind of dish is this? It's so fragrant that my mouth is almost watering."

Just hearing a slurp, the man who just said it smelled good sucked his saliva, looked into the distance dreamily, and walked involuntarily towards the origin of the fragrance.

"My dear, it's true. This stuff smells so good. It really brought out the roundworms in my stomach. Looking at this position, it seems that it came from Xiao Jiang's family."

"When you said that, I also remembered it. It's not Xiao Jiang's family over there. It must be some fashionable dish made by her family. If I had known it, if I had known it, I would have gone to her house to eat. Maybe it would be better. Get a few more bites of dishes you’ve never tasted before.”

Listening to their conversation, Jiang Xingsuo's face straightened, and he looked at the place where the scent came from with a sinister look.

In order to overpower Jiang Zhimiao, he invited almost all the people in the village to his house for a banquet. It was originally to give her a show of strength and let her know how powerful the Jiang family was, but he didn't expect that no one went to her house to have a banquet. It was really frustrating for him to let her stand out for once.

The fragrance became stronger and stronger, and the people in the courtyard were agitated. The banquet, which had been lively just now, was messed up by the sudden fragrance. Jiang Xingsuo felt more and more aggrieved.

"It smells so good, I really can't help it. Brother Jiang, brother, I'll take the first step. I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"

There was a screeching sound of chairs scraping against the ground. The courtyard was buzzing with chatter, and many people thought of leaving the table. (End of chapter)
