Chapter 421, invite the chef over to set up the banquet (1/3)
After worshipping the ancestors, Mei Zhonghua called several brothers and sisters who were relatively close to his family, and expressed his intention to display wine on the village to celebrate.
Everyone hit it off and they all agreed.
At the moment, it was decided to set up a stove in the courtyard of Mr. Mei and invite the cooks with the best craftsmanship in the village to come and cook.
Although the banquets in the countryside are not as good as those in the city, they are also very particular about seven plates and eight bowls.
Set up tables and long stools in the yard. If there is not enough space, sit in the open air.
The banquet is definitely a must-have for side dishes, hot dishes, and big dishes. It must also be divided into front court and back court, sweet soup and salty soup.
It is said that the banquet is usually chosen at noon, but nowadays, people outside at noon can be exposed to death, so it must not be placed outside. Besides, it’s not too early today... After a few discussions between Mei Zhonghua and my brother, Decided to put the banquet until the evening. At 6 or 7 o'clock in the evening, the sky is getting cooler and everyone can be there. It just so happens that there is no need to go to work on this day, and everyone can eat and drink.
Now that the decision is made, the division of labor should be divided. Mei Zhonghua is now used to calling people in the company, so he is responsible for the arrangement of the money and clarifies the matters that should be confessed. Someone rushes to do it... After all, the Mei family Many nephews and nephews followed him, and they were used to working according to the schedule. Even if today I changed to buying vegetables, meat and wine, it would be the same.
By midday, the needed ingredients, tobacco and alcohol were bought one after another.
Aside from other things, the meat and vegetables are just a pile in the yard.
When lunch has been hurriedly eaten, the cooks begin to get busy.
Except for the chefs who needed to lay hands, the chefs in the countryside at that time were really amazing. They could be used by a few people. First, steam and stew the vegetables that needed to be steamed and stewed. The rest is to prepare the side dishes. This is convenient. Put the pot when cooking.
In summer, the weather is so hot, it’s definitely not enough to just prepare hot dishes, and a cold dish platter is also a must.
If this is a banquet of red and white events, it will be more elaborate. Fortunately, this is just a general banquet, and there is not much attention to the dishes, but if there is no attention to it, there must be chicken, fish and meat. This is definitely!
Sister Mei Xiaoran also wanted to help in the kitchen, but as the only college student in Meijiazhuang who was admitted to university, their two sisters and brothers were
Gloriously pulled it to the yard of Erbo's house to introduce to everyone the learning experience... At that time, the university did not expand the enrollment, and the entrance to a university was like walking a single-plank bridge. That was definitely envied by people.
When it comes to learning experience, this is nothing more than good study habits and hard work. It doesn't mean that Mei's sisters and brothers don't want to introduce it, it is true, and it is just such a fact.
Fortunately, there are not many people in Zhuangshang who know how to study. Those who can get into high school are even rarer. They really don’t ask them much about learning. The Zhuangshang mostly asks how old their sisters and brothers are and they are engaged in marriage. No? Say there is no in-law’s
Mei Xiaoran knew the rules of the countryside, so he smiled and said that he still had to go to school, and said that the affairs of her in-laws would not bother the aunts and aunts to consider.
But Mei Xiaolei blushed after being asked. Those aunts all had the idea of telling him about their niece and niece. They were selling melons to Wang Po, as if only Mei Xiaolei was the only one. Let go, they can immediately bring their daughters to meet, and then press their heads to get married...
Seeing Mei Xiaolei's flushed embarrassed face, Mei Xiaoran really wanted to laugh, but as an older sister, she was still very loyal and relentlessly relieved her younger brother: "My Leilei is still young. He is one year younger than me, and he still has to go to school. It takes four years to go to university alone."
"Then we can make an appointment first, and wait until Lei Lei graduates from University before getting married."
Mei Xiaolei's face turned blue when she heard this.
Mei Xiaoran's eyes rolled, and it seems that it is impossible to get rid of these seven aunts and eight aunts today. He has to be a bit ruthless.
"Auntie, my Xiaolei is admitted to college. His future target is definitely not looking for rural people... Nor is it to look down on rural people. Whose ancestors are not rural for three generations! But when Lei Lei goes to the capital to go to university , His vision has broadened, and he will definitely find someone who is like him. I have never seen the girls you introduced, but I believe that you must have introduced my brother to my brother honestly, and they must all be outstanding in appearance. A girl with a good character, but there is an old saying that is not vulgar at all, it’s not right to call someone wrong... Not that my brother will have to pick this one when looking for someone in the future, yes.
Speaking of girls who match his education in all aspects, they have a common language and can live together. "
Mei Xiaoran said with his hands folded here: "So, I thank you aunts and aunts for my brother, and your kindness has been accepted, but let him be the master of my brother's marriage. Maybe after he broadens his horizons. , Even the girls in our county seat don’t look down on them. They have to look for someone in the capital."
Originally, Mei Xiaoran came forward to reject everyone, and everyone was disappointed, but when she heard her explanation, everyone laughed: "Yes, we will find a daughter-in-law from the big city when Leilei arrives!"
Mei Xiaoran finally dealt with these seven aunts and eight aunts. Mei Xiaolei was so grateful to her: "Sister, if you didn't help me out, I don't know what to do! Thank you my good sister!"
"Then if you don't know what to do, the big deal is that if someone asks you to meet the girls, then you can meet."
Mei Xiaoran laughed happily, and rolled her eyes in depression...
The Mei family elder brothers and sisters rarely go back to their hometowns, so they came back during the New Year holidays. This time, it was purely accidental.
I chatted with the folks for a while, and seeing that it was not early, the dealers all had the habit of resting, so they all went back to take a nap one by one.
Mei Zhonghua drank too much yesterday. Tossing for a long time this morning, she was sleepy and went to his father's old house to lie down.
Mei Xiaoran and Mei Xiaolei, two siblings, couldn't fall asleep, and were dragged by cousins who were about the same age to play.
Mei Xiaolei was caught by several cousins, and Mei Xiaoran was chatting with his cousins.
It's rare for everyone to see each other, but after sitting down and chatting, Mei Xiaoran knows that although these cousins are about the same age as her, most of them have booked kisses.
Among them, two cousins are not yet sixteen years old, and they have agreed to their husband's family, and plan to marry them in the fall.
Although Mei Xiaoran also came from the countryside, her life in the countryside is limited, and she really rarely has too much contact with the countryside... Although she also knows that the girls in the countryside get married early, but they get married at the age of fifteen or sixteen. , It's too early!
"What do you guys think? Going to get married at the age of fifteen or six? You handed over your life so easily?"
