Chapter 44 Dishes
Qin Mengyao chopped the diced meat that Qin Mengyao had fried earlier into fine minced meat, added some leeks sent by Aunt Li, made dumplings, and put them aside to dry.I picked up the ready-made cabbage vermicelli and added some pork to stew a pot of vegetables, and fried a leek egg.Fortunately, Qin Mengyao learned a few dishes when he was at home, otherwise he really wouldn't be the housewife he is today.

As she was busy with work, Aunt Li brought Zhong'er over first. Seeing Qin Mengyao busy in the kitchen by herself, she washed her hands and helped light the fire to make dumplings.After a while, Li Dazhuang came over with a large plate of chicken, and when he put it on the table, he smelled a strong fragrance.

"Uncle Li, what are you doing?" Qin Mengyao knew at a glance that it was the little hen in Li Dazhuang's family that hadn't laid eggs. The chicken was killed as a return gift, but in comparison, it seemed that the food she prepared was too vulgar.

"This chicken hasn't laid eggs for a long time. It's just a waste of food. I've wanted to get rid of it for a long time. But Zhong'er's father has never been free. It just so happens that I have free time today, so I just made it to make up for Mr. Nan." While adding firewood to the stove, Aunt Li explained that although she said so, she looked at the chicken on the plate, but she felt a little bit reluctant in her heart. If she hadn't nearly messed up the matter today, why would Zhong'er's father have to stew the chicken? Come to make amends.

When the food came to the table, Zhong'er was already drooling with hunger, staring eagerly at the large plate of dumplings on the table. He still remembered the pasta that his sister sent last time.However, Nancheng Mo never served the table. Zhong'er remembered what Aunt Li had taught him before he came, that the host should never move the chopsticks before they are touched, so he could only sit quietly and watch the dishes dry.

"Zhong'er, go and ask Brother Nan to have dinner." Qin Mengyao knew Nan Chengmo's bullish temper, and he didn't want to go head-to-head with the gun, so he sent Zhong'er to be a lobbyist.Unexpectedly, as soon as Zhong'er walked to the bed, he heard Nan Cheng Mo say without turning his face, "I said that if I don't eat, I won't eat."

"Brother, sister wants me to invite you to dinner..." Zhong'er didn't know what he did wrong, the little child began to sob while talking.Nancheng Mo didn't know that it was Zhong'er standing in front of the bed. He hurriedly got up and wiped away the tears on Zhong'er's face. He comforted and apologized, and finally obediently followed Zhong'er to the dinner table.

"Sure enough, one thing falls one thing at a time," Qin Mengyao looked at Zhong'er's obvious signs of crying, and thought to himself, although Nan Chengmo looked indifferent on the surface, at least he was not a heartless person.

It was the first time for the two families to eat, and there was no distinction between men and women. Although Nan Chengmo was used to eating at the same table with Qin Mengyao, he was unavoidably uncomfortable.Li Dazhuang's family eats at the same table on weekdays, and the small family is not so particular about it, so they are just a little cautious.

Zhong'er had long been envious of the chubby dumplings on the table, and seeing that everyone finally moved their chopsticks, he raised the chopsticks and filled his mouth with a dumpling. Unexpectedly, the dumplings were so hot that Zhong'er opened his mouth and fanned it into his mouth, but he didn't want to. Willing to spit it out, tears will flow out.Qin Mengyao hurriedly found a glass of cold water to save him.

The people at the table watched Zhong'er gobble it up, and then let go of their appetites to eat and drink.Qin Mengyao fetched white wine from the city and filled it up for the two men. Nan Chengmo took a few symbolic sips before his body recovered.With the drinks in their stomachs, the conversation between the men gradually increased.

Somehow, he talked about the strange things that happened in the village, and he went to Zhao Tieshu's house because of Qin Mengyao's disappearance a few days ago. As a result, the marriage between the crazy girl and the second fool was made by accident. Flour is flushed.Li Dazhuang got excited, and then chatted about what he had seen and heard when selling mountain products in the city these years.

"If you talk about the strange people and strange things in Pulan City, I have heard a lot, and there is a legend among the older generation in the village. It is said that 500 years ago, Samantabhadra saw a small town near the sea where villains were rampant. So she decided to go down to the world to save all sentient beings, and turned into a woman to sell herself on the street to bury her father, but this woman was very handsome, and was soon spotted by a young man named Hua, who wanted to snatch her back and take him as a servant. Qiong Zhijian took out a volume of scriptures and said that if someone can memorize it within three days, he will agree with him."

"I didn't expect that Young Master Hua was fascinated. After three days, he not only memorized the scriptures, but even recited them backwards. The woman also promised her with her body. But after this incident, Young Master Hua seemed to be a different person. He never Then he ran rampant in the countryside, and even took the initiative to contribute funds to help the poor, and touched and educated the wicked, and the atmosphere of the town became more and more simple. In the end, Hua Dashao became a Buddha, and later people named the town Pulan City in memory of him."
