Chapter 56

Tao Hua smiled: "Those two little girls are the most noisy, bringing them here will only add to the chaos. When the banquet starts, let your second brother bring the three of them over."

Li Yun also smiled and said: "That's a good relationship, but you should stay a little longer and talk to our girl Feng."

The two sisters-in-law chatted for a while, and several women who came to help the kitchen also arrived one after another.It was Aunt Li, her four daughters-in-law, and Aunt Zhang's grandson who had been negotiated before.

When the women came, they chattered like ducks in a meeting, but fortunately, the families got along well, so although it was noisy, it was not a serious problem.

As soon as Yang Quanfu saw someone, he left the wooden horse and stopped playing, and went to boil water to entertain a few aunts and sisters-in-law. Although men and women are very defensive, firstly, Yang Quanfu is still young, and secondly, people in the village bow their heads and don't see them when they look up. , It is much easier and faster than in the city.

The few families invited to help the kitchen are all hard-working. After a few words of greetings and congratulations, they all got to work. My son's four sister-in-laws washed and selected vegetables to help them, and they worked in full swing.

Li Yun and Yang Fengxian are the masters of the house, and there is absolutely no reason to be idle. Everything in this house is arranged by the mother and daughter, so if there is something missing in the kitchen, Li Yun and Yang Fengxian will rush to find it.

Yang Jiaxiao built a chicken coop in the backyard. He still remembered that Yang Fengxian said that in autumn he wanted to buy some chicks to feed. He also had this idea himself. Li Yun was in poor health, and Quanfu suffered from long-term lack of nutrition.

If you feed some chickens, you will have eggs to eat when you thank them. You can also slaughter one when you are celebrating Chinese New Year or entertaining guests, or you can catch one as a gift for your parents.

The neighbors who had just gone to get tables, chairs, bowls and chopsticks at home also came one after another. Five large tables and stools were set up in the huge yard. If you squeeze, you can sit a few more people, and all the dishes are gone. The kitchen is ready for serving dishes.

Aunt Li also brought a lot of fermented bean sprouts from home. Yang Fengxian picked the watermelon in advance and soaked it in cold water. She didn't plan to use the melon skin, and it would be too troublesome to squeeze out the watermelon juice, so she simply cut small pieces of watermelon as a Fruit after meals.

The half fan of the pig was dismembered, the ribs were split open, the peach blossoms were boiled with pepper and aniseed in water, and then the braised pork ribs were stewed with sugar and soy sauce, and the remaining pork was chopped up by Aunt Li. Minced meat and wax gourd, cut some potatoes and beans and stewed in a big pot, these three big dishes took an hour.

The four daughters-in-law of the Li family over there made cold dishes with fresh vegetables, blanched young amaranth mixed with garlic, pickled salted duck eggs cut into several petals, and cold bean sprouts. There must be a plate on each table. It took a lot of effort.

After the big dishes went abroad, Taohua used the vegetables on hand to fry garlic sprouts and eggs, soy cauliflower, stir-fried loofah and celery shredded pork.Aunt Sun prepared the dishes by the side, and asked Li Yun for cornmeal. It was too time-consuming to make steamed buns at this time, so she planned to paste cornmeal pancakes.

When all the dishes were on the table, the men also did all the farm work all morning and came from the fields.The village chief Wei Wu's family was arranged in the upper seat, accompanied by the owner of the family.

The second seat was assigned to the people from the old house. Even if Yang Fengxian was unwilling, she would not want to fall into the shoes of others at this time.

After that, there are separate seats for men and women. There are one table for women and two tables for men, which are already full.

The few families who were invited to help the kitchen eat directly in the kitchen, and they can add more vegetables when they eat more or less, and it is much more relaxed than outside.In order to thank them, Yang Fengxian took the bacon and cut two plates as an extra dish.

None of the people who came to the banquet came empty-handed. The village head's family sent a piece of cloth, and the others also brought vegetables, rice or eggs to congratulate them on their housewarming.

Yang Fengxian agreed with a smile, and Yang Quanfu and Li Yun were also helping to pack the presents.

And it wasn't until the banquet was about to start that Zhao Yuehong and Yang Guoxiang rushed over with a large family, proudly handed over a small basket of eggs to Li Yun, and reluctantly said: "Remember to return the basket to me."

Yang Fengxian secretly ridiculed Zhao Yuehong's stinginess in her heart, but Li Yun didn't take it seriously. Instead, she was surprised that Zhao Yuehong came to the banquet and brought gifts, but Zhao Yuehong also heard that Yang Fengxian had hooked up with the mayor's wife, and was told by Hua Lancao I was quite moved.

If Yang Fengxian could speak a few words in front of the mayor's wife, maybe Yang Jiali would get a good job, or go through the back door to get a scholar!

Thinking of this, Zhao Yuehong also temporarily ignored her contempt for Yang Fengxian and Li Yun in her heart, and said a few words in a pleasant manner.

Li Yun looked flattered, and Yang Jiaxiao also came out to entertain guests at this time, and he was also very happy to see the scene of mother and daughter-in-law "getting along happily".

Yang Fengxian's aunt also reluctantly took out a thin plain silver hairpin with no pattern from her bosom and gave it to Yang Fengxian, gritted her teeth and said, "I'll bring this hairpin to my niece."

Yang Fengxian put away the hairpin without changing expression, successfully seeing Wang Yanhong's pained expression.Hualancao smiled very generously, and the things she gave were much better, a pair of slightly thicker silver hairpins with thin patterns: "My niece is so big now, she should have more jewelry. "

However, Yang Fengxian was quite afraid of this flower orchid grass with a smiling face like a tiger, so he thanked him honestly and accepted it.

Wang Yanhong looked left and right for a while, then asked blahly, "Where did the second sibling go? Why didn't you see her come out to give gifts?"

Li Yun explained: "The second sister-in-law is helping in the kitchen, and she just finished her work!" The village rule is that the helper does not need to give gifts, and the food is as good as the one on the table.

Wang Yanhong looked dissatisfied: "How can she cook better than me? Why don't you invite me here!" Li Yun only smiled and didn't answer.

Just as they were about to start the banquet, the sound of a carriage came from a distance, and upon closer inspection, they turned out to be two carriages with different patterns.

The villagers were watching curiously, and saw a smiling man with narrow eyes getting off a carriage, but Yang Fengxian knew him.She went forward, cupped her hands and said, "Why is Brother Liu here?"

The person who came was the buyer of Chunfeng Building, Old Liu, who also cupped his hands at Yang Fengxian and said, "Shopkeeper Wan heard that Ms. Yang moved to a new home, and specially ordered me to come and give Ms. Yang a congratulatory gift."

Yang Fengxian followed his gestures and looked at the carriage. As soon as Old Liu clapped his hands, two young and strong servants got off the carriage and began to carry things to Yang's house.

Wan Su still knew how to keep a low profile. Everything was carried in the box, and outsiders couldn't see what was in it, except for the food, vegetables and cloth that couldn't fit in the box, which were exposed outside.

But it is the food and cloth that can be seen that makes many people's eyes red with envy. .
