Chapter 66

Yao shi probably also heard this joke, his face has been gloomy for the past two days, and he doesn't let Luo Baining go out to play, and keeps her locked in the room, forcing her to study.

Luo Baining has always been used to being wild, she ran from house to house every day, and never calmed down, how could she bear this, when she opened the book, she didn't recognize those words, and those words didn't recognize her, she sat there for a long time, Then she fell asleep lying on the table, the books underneath were wet with saliva, and the smudged ink covered her face like a cat.

When Luo Baihan came back and saw it, he hated it so much that he lost his temper at Yao Shi, blaming Yao Shi for letting Luo Baining into his room to rummage through things without his permission, and finally stuffed the book into his room. The hearth was burnt clean.

On the day of the banquet, Fang Shi got up on the fourth watch, and Yao Shi and the two were busy in the stove. Luo Baiqiu also rushed over to help in the morning, but when he came, his face was a bit uneasy His eyes were red and bloodshot, and he looked like he hadn't slept well all night.

Before noon, the meals were already prepared, and they were all hot in the pot, and when the feast was over, they were served out.

Almost everyone in the village had relatives and relatives, and Yao shi specially sent invitations to them. Although many invitations were sent by mistake in the end, it showed Yao shi's cautious attitude towards this banquet, because there were [-] people in the village. Several families, almost all came.

Only then did Yao shi have a smile on his face.

The people who came to congratulate them had smiles on their faces no matter what they thought in their hearts, and they picked out some festive things to say, and in front of Mrs. Yao, they praised today's birthday star Luo Baihan again and again, bluntly speaking to Luo Baihan It is simply that the world's first-class intelligent and promising talents give up.

If a family in the village is holding a serious banquet, unless the host family notifies in advance, they only serve wine and do not accept gift money, then they will have to pay more or less gift money.

Naturally, there must be someone to keep an account of the ceremony.Luo Baihan himself is a birthday star, and he has to be busy greeting guests. This tent inevitably falls on Luo Baisu, and that's it. Children and nephews.

Luo Tiandu's family agreed with this very much. If it weren't for Yao's nephew who couldn't write, Luo Tiandu would have even wanted Luo Baisu to push off the accounting work.

At that moment, all the people had finished saying their congratulations, and offered gift money. Because they were all acquaintances, and it was not convenient for the host to arrange, they all found acquaintances to form a table and waited for the banquet.

When the table was almost full, Fang and Luo Baiqiu brought out all the prepared meals.

The first thing to serve is naturally the cold dishes pickled by the family. Among them, the kimchi pickled by the Fang family of Luotiandu in the first winter is the most popular. Although it is slightly spicy in the mouth, it is sour and crisp, very appetizing. People said that they want to learn how to pickle this pickle from Fang.

After the cold appetizers are served, it's time for the main course.The country people are no more particular than those in the city. The main dish served directly is a large pot of bacon stewed with sauerkraut. The bacon is cut into large pieces, fried in oil, the soup is boiled, and the shredded sauerkraut is finely chopped. , stewed together for a long time, full of flavor; there is also a whole big crucian carp, fried golden, with garlic, chili and ginger; mustard head.There are not many dishes, but the portion is sufficient. The staple food is the fragrant sorghum porridge, and the steamed buns mixed with cornmeal and white flour, and paired with a few taels of rice wine, it is also a hearty meal.

Naturally, Luo Baihan greeted the guests during the banquet, and would accompany him for a drink from time to time.He is used to drinking good wine, so he doesn't like to touch this kind of inferior shochu at home, he just licks his lips slightly as a show.

Because Yao family was short of money, he didn't prepare much dishes, just enough for the table, and there was nothing left.People in the village are used to being frugal in their lives, and they seldom eat meat at home. Now that the Luo's house is serving wine, it is a gift money anyway, so they took this opportunity to open their stomachs and eat the pot of bacon and fish. non-stop.

Usually when there is a banquet at home, the host will wait until the guests have finished eating and the banquet is over, except for those who accompany the guests.Both Luo Tiandu and Luo Ming are fine, Fang Shi gave her orders the day before, and she was too busy during the banquet, and let the two of them cook whatever they wanted to fill their stomachs. The two sisters cooked a bowl of noodles by themselves today, Up to now, smelling the smell of fish meat all over the yard, although I am a little bit greedy, but I can still hold back, Luo Baining is different.She has always been a glutton, and she doesn't care about anything when she sees delicious food. Yao Shi is busy today, and she doesn't care about her. She watched helplessly that the meat dishes on the table were almost eaten up, and couldn't help it anymore. , took a big soup bowl, squeezed to the table, ignored the eyes of others, stood on tiptoe, and scooped bacon in the sauerkraut bowl with a spoon.

There were only a few pieces of bacon in the first place, and it was already eaten by someone when the banquet was over. She fished for a long time, but only got two pieces of minced meat. She immediately raised her face in displeasure, and muttered: "Just serve those few pieces." A gift money, but I’m ashamed to eat up all the meat.”

She followed Yao's loud voice, even if she lowered her voice and murmured softly, those with sharp ears could still understand what she said. It happened that one of the young daughters-in-law's family was not well-off, and when she offered the gift money, she only gave five dollars as a symbol. Wen Qian felt that Luo Baining was talking about himself, his face flushed immediately, he put down his chopsticks and said: "I'm full, you guys take it easy."

After finishing speaking, he didn't go to say goodbye to the host's house, and left.

Although the other few said that the gift money was quite generous, they also felt that it was really meaningless, and there were quite a few of them in their own families. After being told so badly by a child, they really couldn't eat it, so they stopped their chopsticks. To save face, he even told Luo Baihan who was accompanying the guest that someone who was high-spirited would turn around and leave like the little daughter-in-law in front of him.

For a while, the scene became much colder. Mrs. Yao was busy in the kitchen and didn't know what was going on outside, but Luo Baihan was always by his side outside, so he glared at Luo Baining angrily.

Seeing this, Luo Baiqiu hurriedly pulled Luo Baining down, and coaxed her with good words, at least she coaxed her to agree to go to the front after the banquet.

Luo Baihan has always been a bit arrogant and arrogant. He feels that he is a scholar, and he usually has a sense of being superior to others. From the bottom of his heart, he looks down on these peasants in the village who have been facing the loess all their lives. I lost my face, and I was so angry in my heart, I thought that I would teach this girl a lesson when the banquet was over, but I never thought that there was a commotion at the gate of the open courtyard, and someone shouted outside the courtyard:
"Brother Luo, you're being polite here."

Luo Tiandu looked at the door, and saw a young gentleman in brocade clothes and silk shoes came in surrounded by several scholars.

When Luo Baihan saw the person coming, his attitude was very respectful, he quickly walked over and bowed to invite him into the courtyard.

On weekdays, Luo Baihan puts on the airs of a scholar, very lofty, he looks at people with his chin raised, and sweeps lightly with the corner of his eyes, even when he meets his parents, he also looks superior and has a very Be less humble.Luo Tiandu guessed that the young man's surname was either Wang or Qi, but considering the background of the young man, she was more likely to guess that the surname was Qi.

Sure enough, when the young master entered the low courtyard gate, Luo Baihan raised his voice and called: "Father, mother, Young Master Qi is here."

Old man Luo and Mrs. Yao came out upon hearing the sound, and they saw five or six people who looked like scholars coming to the yard. Some of them had met last year when the Luo family slaughtered pigs. They were some of Luo Baihan's classmates, and the other Mr. Huafu is very strange.

Luo Baihan then introduced the two parties.

As usual, old man Luo just said "um", and then remained silent, but Mrs. Yao looked at Mr. Qi again and again. When he learned that she was the eldest son of the Qi family, one of the three richest families in the town, his eyes were filled with bean-sized eyes. Shining shrewdly and cunningly.

She knew that Mr. Qi sent Ying'er who turned the family upside down years ago. Even though the maid ran away by herself in the end and her family didn't suffer much loss, Yu Luo Baihan's reputation was damaged after all.

Yao shi hated Ying Er, even the Qi family who made the decision to send Ying Er here also complained.But now I really saw the eldest son of the Qi family, seeing how he was dressed and dressed, I felt a lot of complaints in my heart, and what was left was the kind of envy towards the rich. Low self-esteem, the mood is very complicated at the moment.

On the one hand, she resented the Qi family for being unkind, and sent such a shit-stirring stick, which almost caused her and Luo Baihan's mother and son to quarrel; I can support Robbick.

The Qi family moved here from Huaxi Mansion, needless to say about their family background, Young Master Qi himself was born suave and suave, and he was still a classmate with Luo Baihan, so it can be seen that he is also a scholar and has a bright future.

When Yao shi thought of this, he couldn't help thinking more.

You must know that there is still an unmarried girl in her family, and she has reached the age of marriage. If she can marry Ning Ning to the Qi family, she will be famous for her life, not to mention hot and spicy. From time to time, a few random coins slipped through the cracks of her fingers, which would be enough for Luo Baihan to study and rush for the exam, and she didn't need to worry about spending even a copper coin like she is now.

This Young Master Qi is married, so Yao Shi is naturally reluctant to marry Luo Baining to someone else as a concubine. However, the Qi family has a big business, and it is impossible to have only one child, Young Master Qi. Instead, you can ask Bai Han, how many people are there in his family? Man, do you have an age-appropriate little brother.

Yao shi thought very well, so he couldn't help asking Mr. Qi to ask questions, wishing to find out about the eight generations of the Qi family's ancestors.Mr. Qi got a little impatient at being pestered by her, and coughed.

Luo Baihan interrupted the old lady's eighteen questions, and asked her to pack up a table of wine and food to entertain the guests.

Because Yao shi counted the number of people, he only opened five tables, and did not prepare too many dishes. The dishes on the outside table were all spoiled, and the food was badly eaten, so naturally he couldn't serve it up again. Called Fang Shi and Luo Baiqiu to come over and start firing again.
