The life of a peasant girl reborn

Chapter 34

Shen Xuan worked alone in the kitchen for about an hour. The three layers of the oven were filled with more than 1 ready-made breads. Put the bread into the oven to seal it and start to ignite.Shen Xuan watched in the kitchen and asked Mrs. Zhou to pick some vegetables at home and wash them.Soak the dried mushrooms and let Requi ground the cumin into a powder.Half an hour later, there was a burst of aroma from the oven, which was stronger than last time, causing the adults standing in the yard to swallow their saliva.Shen Xuan opened the oven through a thick rag and turned the bread over.Changing positions between the interlayers, let Lei Kui watch and continue adding to the fire, cut up the vegetables and meat slices, and handed them to Bai Ming and the others to skewer them with bamboo sticks.It took another half an hour for the bread to be baked, and the smell came straight from the oven.It looks delicious when it is golden and yellow, and it is cooled in a bamboo grate.Heat the charcoal to red.The iron boards were set up in the yard, and the people from the old house on the other side arrived as soon as they were ready.

After a busy afternoon, Shen Xuan was already hungry. After showing everyone a demonstration, she hurriedly ate.Everyone couldn't help smelling the aroma, and there was only the sound of bowls and chopsticks on the table.Gulp.Waiting for each other to eat something to fill their stomachs, everyone slowed down and started chatting while eating.Shen Xuan almost stopped to barbecue for everyone, while the brothers continued to struggle with the food.

"This bread looks much better than last time, and it smells delicious." Grandpa Shen, the head of the family, spoke first.

"That's right, it's softer than last time." Grandma Shen is old and her teeth are bad, so she will inevitably eat more soft food.

"My bread is sweet." Uncle Shen didn't expect to taste sweetness.This is the sugar filling that Shen Xuan made because she saw that there were not enough eggs at home.

"Our little Xuan is really a lucky star." Uncle Shen praised.I heard from my second brother that the watermelons were planted only after listening to Shen Xuan's words, and I could earn two hundred taels at home, and now I can make delicious food. I remembered that my second brother met the old monk before, so I didn't agree to that. annotation.

"Xiaoxuan's brain is easy to use." The aunt held a bunch of roasted eggplants in her hand and sprinkled them with cumin and began to eat.

"Everyone, don't praise her, the child is too young to be praised." Mrs. Zhou said while adding some grilled meat slices to the children's bowls, even though she was very happy in her heart.

"It would be nice if there was wine." Lei Kui missed the smell of wine.

"En." Bai Ming nodded as he ate the freshly roasted mushrooms.Shen Xuan saw Father Shen and they all nodded in agreement, knowing that a man's good wine can't be changed.

"Who said you want to drink? I happen to have the best wine here." Everyone looked out the door when they heard the voice, and it turned out that shopkeeper Bai came in with two jars of wine with a smile.

"Shopkeeper Bai, why are you here this afternoon?" Father Shen asked as the host, thinking that it would be too early for the watermelon to ripen next time.

"Didn't I smell the aroma and run away from the town?" Shopkeeper Bai handed the wine to Lei Kui without hesitation and sat down on a stool. Just now he got off the carriage and smelled the aroma outside.

"Here are freshly made bread and grilled vegetables, try it." Father Shen put the bread and a few strings of vegetables into Shopkeeper Bai's hands.

"Mmm, it's delicious. It's really delicious. It really didn't come in vain this afternoon. It turns out that vegetables can be eaten like this." Shopkeeper Bai started to eat after tasting the aroma.After eating what was in hand, I grilled it directly by myself, I really didn't treat myself as an outsider.

The women and children here had already finished eating and left the table to drink tea; Lei Kui poured wine for everyone over there, and everyone began to chat while eating and drinking.They teased each other, and in the end they all drank too much and lay on the table. There was no way that everyone at the table could not hold a good amount of alcohol.Uncle Shen was the youngest in the room who couldn't stand being given wine, so he vomited all he drank. Grandma Shen was so angry that she almost hit someone with a broom, but she was persuaded by her two daughters-in-law.

"Mother, my uncle is old enough to stop beating people." Aunt Shen hurriedly stopped Grandma Shen.

"When I grow up, I'm going to get married and I don't have a long memory. The men are all the same, and they are as drunk as mud." Grandma Shen got angry when she saw a table of drunks.

Zhou's stomach was full and she didn't dare to go forward, she stood by and advised, "Mother, don't be angry, everyone is tired these days, just take a sip of wine."

"Grandma, help grandpa and the others back quickly, it's uncomfortable to sleep lying there." Brother Chun, the eldest grandson, spoke out at the critical moment.

It was a piece of flesh that fell from my body, and it hurt my mother's body, and Grandma Shen couldn't bear to do it just because she enjoyed it.But when I saw the situation on the table, I was in trouble again. It was all women who couldn't help some men to walk a certain distance.In the end, Mrs. Zhou came up with an idea: ask brother Qiu to bring some bread to Shen Daniu's house, and call his father to help.After Shen Dahai came over, he first helped Grandma Shen and Aunt Shen to send the three of them back; then they brought the three drunks from the Shen family into the house. ;Finally, he got shopkeeper Bai into the carriage, and Shen Dahai took Brother Chun to send him to the town.

Shen Xuan was worried that her mother would not be able to bear it and sent Zhou Shi to rest first, but Zhou Shi was indeed tired and went to sleep after asking.Shen Xuan tidied up the things on the table.I put the dishes and chopsticks in the kitchen and went to bed. I was going to wash the dishes tomorrow and I was really tired today.

In 3 days, it will be the seventh day of the seventh lunar month—the day of Qiqiao Festival. At noon, everyone cleans up the house.After dinner.Putting on new clothes, they drove to the town early, and even Lei Kui and the others also changed into the clothes that Zhou Shi drove out yesterday.It was the first time Zhou went to town since she became pregnant.

I left the donkey cart in the restaurant and booked a private room to drink tea and wait for Uncle Shen’s family inside. I had agreed to come to the town today to see if there was any suitable house to rent for the four brothers to study.After a while, Uncle Shen's family arrived.

"Grandma, where's Uncle?" Brother Qiu found that Uncle Shen was not in the crowd.

"Your little uncle has something to do, come back later." Aunt Shen smiled and explained to Brother Qiu, and those who knew the inside story smiled at each other.

"Where did little uncle go? I'll go find him." Brother Qiu didn't understand this, and he didn't come here until he had something to do.I still want my uncle to take me to play, Bai Ming and the two are not as good to me as my sister, children are sensitive, and I can perceive who is good to me.Seeing Brother Qiu who was about to go out, Brother Chun stopped him.

Shen Xuan saw that brother Qiu who was still standing there in a daze was hurt in his heart, how could he meet an emotional idiot to be his brother.Today is the Qiqiao Festival. Uncle must go to pick up Miss Zhao. Didn’t they all laugh when they saw Big Brother?In the end, it was Mrs. Zhou who spoke, and this topic was considered over.

Everyone has arrived, and everyone is going to go out together and make an appointment to come back.Father Shen and the others are going to look for a house; the three mother-in-law and daughter-in-law go out to have a look; the remaining five brothers and sisters are with Bai Ming and the others.After leaving the restaurant, Shen Xuan asked Lei Kui to follow the four elder brothers, and quickly disappeared into the crowd with Bai Ming, leaving the five standing there in a daze.

Here, Shen Xuan led Bai Ming to look here and there in the town while eating the snacks bought at the stall, without saying a word.Bai Ming followed behind, muttering in his heart, Shen Xuan usually took Lei Kui with him when he had something to do, and this was the first time he took him out, so he didn't know what would happen.Shen Xuan turned her head and glanced at Bai Ming who was thinking there, turned and continued to walk forward, and she brought Bai Ming out on purpose.After walking around the town quickly, Shen Xuan spoke to Bai Ming.
