Portable Space: Reborn Little Couple

Chapter 61
Mo Qianrui was a little confused by the series of questions from Aunt Li's family. The meal at noon has already ended, and there is still a long time before dinner at night. Why...

"Snacks and fried dishes are fine. Jiuniang can't be made in a short while."

Although he was very suspicious, Mo Qianrui still answered Aunt Li's question seriously.

Hearing what Mo Qianrui said, the aunt of the Li family immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and the expression on her face was full of happiness, but Mo Qianrui was taken aback when she saw it: "Is it the big girl of the Mo family who is capable?" , then you can help the aunt make two appetizers first, and then make a fried meat. Later, the aunt will wrap you a big red envelope!"

He usually works for the Li family and gets a day's wages for a day's work, but this is not the case.

In fact, except for Mo Qianrui and a few women who cook, those who help wash and serve the dishes don't get paid, at most they just take the leftovers home.Therefore, the wages will not be given until after the running table is over, and it is not a direct payment, but a red envelope to show respect.

Mo Qianrui didn't care much about the so-called red envelopes, but she had to ask some questions clearly.

"Snacks and fried dishes are fine, but how much can you cook? Are there any taboos?"

Aunt Li's eager look earlier was obviously due to the arrival of a distinguished guest.

Since he was a distinguished guest, Mo Qianrui didn't want to neglect her, so it would be better to ask some questions.

"What taboos are there?" The aunt of the Li family patted the hem of her clothes, suddenly feeling a little embarrassed, "Hey, Meiniang's father is back. It was originally said that he would not be there until tomorrow morning, but he feels sorry for her." Meiniang, you rushed here in a hurry. Anyway... big girl, you can do a lot, just cook a few good dishes. I'll come back later."

After saying these words, Aunt Li quickly turned around and left.

Mo Qianrui watched her leave speechlessly, just as she was about to enter the kitchen, she saw Ling Niang coming out of the room, and stretched out her hand to call her over.

Lingniang is about the same age as Erya, but she has a bit more temperament than Erya, and she is also very outstanding in her small appearance.Fair skin, delicate facial features, if not for the slender scar on her forehead, she would definitely be an outstanding beauty in the future.

Hearing Mo Qianrui calling her, Ling Niang immediately ran to Mo Qianrui, raised her face and showed a bright smile.

"Ling Niang, do you know what kind of food your father likes to eat?"

Pulling Ling Niang to the kitchen, Mo Qianrui asked casually while scanning the surrounding ingredients.

Ling Niang didn't answer immediately, but after thinking carefully for a while, she said: "Erya's sister, my father likes to eat just now's ears."

ear?

Could it be pig ears in cold sauce?

Indeed, this can be regarded as a side dish.

It's a pity that the pig's ears were used up at noon, and she couldn't get another one.However, Ling Niang's words also gave her some hints. Anyway, the dishes served with wine are similar, and cold meat dishes are naturally very popular in summer.

Mo Qianrui quickly prepared three cold dishes and fried peanuts.Then I thought of the fried dishes mentioned by Aunt Li's family, and after a little hesitation, I simply made a teppanyaki.

It's also a good thing that Li's kitchen is full of everything, if it's left in Mo's house, even if she has the best materials, she will have nothing to do.

It's hard for this clever woman to cook without rice!

Speaking of teppanyaki, the most famous one is grilled squid skewers, but unfortunately she couldn't get squid at the moment, so she had to choose other options.

Made a simple version of pork chops and tenderloin, and fried a lot of side dishes. Mo Qianrui didn't think it was enough, so he took a few corn cobs and eggplants and grilled them on the stove.It's a pity that I can't get cumin, otherwise the taste will be even better.

Not long after, the kitchen that had already dissipated the smell was filled with fragrance again, and finally there was movement outside.

The first thing Mo Qianrui heard was Li Niang's complaints. Although Li Niang's and Meiniang's voices were almost the same, their tone of voice was completely different.

As the eldest sister, Meiniang speaks very steadily, and one can feel that she is a calm and good girl.

Liniang, on the other hand, was more naive and rambunctious, and her voice would involuntarily rise when she spoke, especially the last two or three words, which almost flew up.

"Father, sister is going to get married, and there will be no one at home to talk to and play with me from now on, what do you think?"

Although Li Niang was complaining, there was a burst of joy in her voice. Obviously, she said this mainly to act like a baby, not because she really didn't want Mei Niang to get married.

"What should I do? Hurry up and find a marriage for you, and get married at the end of the year."

Mo Qianrui was slightly startled, the voice behind her was something she had never heard before, although she knew that the one who would answer Li Niang's words now, it must be her father.It's just that this voice was far beyond Mo Qianrui's expectations.

That voice is not to say how nice it is, but there is a feeling that makes people feel very comfortable.With the unique magnetism of men, and the tone of speech is full of pampering.

Mo Qianrui was suddenly glad that her little aunt was locked up by her father in a fit of anger.

Otherwise, with the little aunt's jealous nature, if she saw that besides loving their mother and rich life, Mei Niang also had such a nice-sounding father who doted on them, I really don't know that the little aunt would make a fuss again. what it looks like.

Seeing that the dishes were ready, Mo Qianrui was a little curious, so he took the dishes and walked out of the kitchen.

In the Li family's yard, besides the aunt of the Li family and Liniang, there was indeed a man, but that man was not at all the image of Li Niang's father that Mo Qianrui had imagined.

When I saw that man, the first thing that impressed me was his tall figure and straight waist.Then came those sharp eyes, as if they could see through everything.

When Wei Wei subdued her shock and looked up again, Mo Qianrui vaguely noticed the initial sense of disobedience.

how to say?

Most of the men in Yangliu Village have the same appearance. This is not talking about appearance, but the overall feeling.

Basically, they are all about the same size, with a strong body and a somewhat simple and honest face.My father is a typical example.

But this person in front of him is not like that at all.

Maybe it's because he is too tall, he looks a little thin, his facial features are not very delicate, but he looks surprisingly kind.However, his eyes are so sharp that people dare not look at him at all.

This slightly contradictory feeling did not make people feel unhappy, but made people unable to ignore his existence.

What surprised Mo Qianrui the most was that the man seemed to be the same size as his father.

But this is not right.

If she remembered correctly, Aunt Li seemed to be almost 40 years old, and because of long-term labor, she looked even older.However, the appearance of the aunt of the Li family is not bad, it can be seen that she should be a beauty when she was young.

Unfortunately, these two people walked together, which felt very disharmonious.

It seems that there is a natural crack separating the two, and they don't look like a couple at all.

"Father, this is the big girl from the old Mo's family. She cooks delicious food. You must try it later. Big girl, this is your uncle from the Li family. Do you still remember him?"

Aunt Li's family is always in good spirits when it comes to happy events, and she smiles very brightly.

Only in this way, the wrinkles on her face became more obvious, especially the crow's feet at the corners of her eyes. It is not an exaggeration to say that it can kill mosquitoes.

"The eldest girl of the Mo family?" The uncle of the Li family glanced at Mo Qianrui and said with a chuckle, "It was three years ago when I went home last time, this girl probably doesn't remember me."

Mo Qianrui couldn't say anything, so he could only smile.

She really didn't remember Uncle Li's family anymore, and she didn't even remember him from the original owner.But it's normal to think about it carefully. Although the Li family and the Mo family are neighbors, they are not particularly familiar with each other.Coupled with the fact that the uncle of the Li family came and went in a hurry, it was completely normal for the original owner not to have the impression of this person.

Seeing that Mo Qianrui was still holding some food, the aunt of the Li family hurried over to help.

After a while, a few small dishes were placed on the table in the main room of the Li family.At this time, Meiniang, who had been hiding in her boudoir and did not show up easily, also came out.

Seeing that there was nothing wrong with her, Mo Qianrui went back first.Just as she was about to walk out of the gate of Li's courtyard, she heard Lingniang's happy laughter and sweet calls for her father behind her.

Strange, since the uncle of the Li family hasn't been home for three years, and this Lingniang is about the same age as Er Ya, and looks about four years old, how can she still remember her father?Moreover, just now when she asked Ling Niang what kind of food her father likes to eat, Ling Niang also answered her, this is really...

With a little suspicion, Mo Qianrui returned home, and casually told his father and mother about Uncle Li's return.

At the same time, I also got two pieces of news from my father and mother.

Dad was talking about the house shop. It turns out that the dowry of a girl in this era is not carried with the sedan chair on the day of marriage, but sent to her husband's house on the first day.The so-called shop room is to put out the dowry for others to appreciate.Because of this, most of the dowry of the daughter is furniture and furnishings, and there are also various kinds of cloth quilts.

And there are rules for who will give the dowry.

The parents, brothers and sisters of the newlyweds must not be able to go to marry, so they can only be selected from relatives.Thanks to the many relatives of the Li family, the five brothers of the Li family, together, have at least a hundred relatives.

No, the sun will not be so strong after a while, and the second son of the Li family will bring a group of sons and nephews to marry.Of course, it is the female relatives who actually shop the house, but considering that Meiniang has too much dowry, it is unrealistic for the female relatives to carry the dowry all the way, so the men are required to carry the dowry, and the female relatives are responsible for building the house.

But what A Niang said was not good news.

It turned out that at noon today, when Mo Qianrui was still busy in the kitchen, the old Zhang's family came to make another scene.

He kept asking for money from the Li family, but in the end he was beaten unconscious by the most irritable old Wu of the Li family, and thrown into the field, covered in mud.

This was originally a joke, but when A Niang talked about it, she seemed worried.

"Old Zhang's family is already insane. It's nothing more than making a fuss these few days. Tomorrow is Meiniang's big day. If something happens again... it's a crime!"
