Before everyone could reach the front door of the Sheng family, they could smell the aroma of stewed meat.
"Oh, this guy smells pretty good.
We are in for a treat this noon, I wonder what the Sheng family's sister-in-law has cooked."
"Don't worry about what you did. Anyway, the food and drinks are enough for today." Sheng Liancheng said with a smile.
I have to say that the eldest son of his family is really up to date and really gives Lao Sheng a lot of face.
"Sister-in-law, what kind of delicious food have you made? Oops, I can smell the fragrance from all the way. It's so delicious."
Someone was missing and asked loudly after entering the door.
Zhang Shuzhen was busy working in the yard. When she heard someone ask, she laughed.
"Oh, today's dish is really tough.
Braised pork, rabbit meat stewed with potatoes, pheasant braised with mushroom vermicelli, stir-fried roe deer meat, sauced roe deer meat, ribs stewed with beans, stir-fried fat intestines, braised willow root with sauce, braised thin-scale fish, cucumber mixed with pig ears, pork liver and pig tongue,
Pork head meat.
Twelve dishes, how do they taste?"
While Zhang Shuzhen reported the names of the dishes, she counted them in her mind and confirmed that there were twelve dishes.
Apart from trivial matters, banquets are not a single thing.
You must pay attention to this. If it is bad, add another dish quickly.
As soon as everyone heard the name of the dish announced by Zhang Shuzhen, they immediately felt greedy in their stomachs.
Among the twelve dishes, except for the pig ears mixed with cucumber, which was a little hairy, the rest were all hard vegetables.
Just these dishes, let alone ordinary days, most people can't come up with them during the Chinese New Year.
If you can do three or four of them, that would be great.
"Listen, everyone, please feel free to eat this dish today. I hope you enjoy it."
When Liu Changde heard the menu, he nodded happily.
The Sheng family is very particular about how they handle things, unlike some people who are so fussy about everything that they are reluctant to take out.
Living at home is the only way to protect the people you live in.
If I were to ask someone for help if I had something to do, they might not be willing to help.
Everyone was very happy, laughing and talking about sister-in-law, brothers and sisters, and auntie for their hard work.
Over there, Zhou Qinglan fetched two basins of water and two pieces of soap, and invited everyone to come over and wash their hands and faces.
Everyone took turns to wash their hands and faces, and then each found a place to sit down.
The old house of the Sheng family is not big, with two and a half rooms, and the rooms are also small.
There were so many people coming to help today that we couldn't even sit in the room.
In addition, there was a lot of fire in the house for cooking and cooking. The heat of the kang burned my buttocks, and the room was filled with uncomfortable steam.
So Zhang Shuzhen took the initiative and placed the banquet in the yard
Zhou Qinglan and the other girls just went to Linchang Primary School to borrow some tables and stools, and set up three banquet tables in the yard.
Sheng Liancheng sat at a table with Liu Changde, Qi Yongfu, and several other friends of the same age in the forest farm.
Liu Yujiang, Liu Yuhe, Qi Changzhu, Chen Weiguo, Gao Haining and other young people sat at the same table.
Zhang Shuzhen and Zhou Qinglan accompanied Xu Xiuxiang, Li Yuqin and other women. Sheng Yunfang, Sheng Yunfei and Sheng Xitai were also crowded at this table.
The table is actually a school desk, two of which are put together to form a table. It is larger than the dining table at home. There are four long wooden benches around the table.
Such a table can seat about ten people, and it is enough to place twelve dishes on it.
The men sat down and the women served the dishes one after another. Sheng Xikang quickly took the wine and placed it on the two tables.
On the other side, Zhang Shuzhen also opened the lid of the big pot in the yard, which contained a pot full of rhubarb rice.
The grain output in these years was low, but it had a special grain aroma. As soon as the lid of the pot was opened, the aroma of big yellow rice wafted far away.
"Sister-in-law, how many delicious things have you cooked? Okay, before I even get in, the aroma is hitting my nose."
It happened that at this time, Sheng Xiping accompanied Wang Jiachuan, and Zheng Xianyong came in from outside. Wang Jiachuan asked with a smile.
"Hey, Secretary Wang, Director Zheng, hurry up, come and sit down."
When the people at the forest farm saw it, they quickly stood up.
While everyone invited Wang Jiachuan and Wang Jiachuan to sit down, they couldn't help but sigh in their hearts. The Sheng family is still good at being a good person. They served wine and entertained the guests, and even invited the secretary and the director.
With these two people present, no matter who brings it up in the future and says that building a house for the Sheng family is not in compliance with the policy, these two people will fight back.
Look, how could Sheng Liancheng be the captain of the work team and the director of the minor repair factory if he was also a worker in the forest farm?
If you are a real person, have skills, and can be a good person, will your future be worse?
Wang Jiachuan and Zheng Xianyong didn't plan to come over for dinner. They were busy with work and didn't have time to help, but they came over just in time for dinner. They both felt bad.
But unable to resist Sheng Xisheng's strong pull, the two of them came over.
When they came here, they saw these dishes on the table. The two of them happily sat down to chat and laugh with other people.
Twelve dishes are all arranged, everyone is here, and the wine is filled, so what else can you say? Let’s eat.
Sheng Liancheng stood up and said a few words, thanking everyone for helping with the work in the bright sun.
Anyway, I just wanted to express my gratitude, and then everyone started eating and drinking with their chopsticks.
"Oh, this meat is really well stewed. It's not fat or lean, it's soft and tasty, and it's fragrant."
Wang Jiachuan picked up a piece of braised pork and put it in his mouth, nodding while eating.
In these days and months, having a meal of braised pork is just in time for the Chinese New Year.
"What is this? Every piece is round?"
Zheng Xianyong picked up a piece of meat and looked at it carefully, but he didn't see what it was.
The slices are cut very thin, and the round ones are all the same size. I have never seen anything like this before.
"That's roe deer meat. After the sauce came out from the pot last night, I rolled it up with gauze and wrapped it tightly while it was still hot.
Today I opened the gauze slices and dipped them in garlic sauce to eat." Zhang Shuzhen explained quickly.
The main reason is that the roe deer meat is not very neat in pieces and does not look good when served on the table.
Arranged like this, it looks so pleasing to the eye when placed on a plate.
"Okay, if anyone in our place has a big or small affair, I would be happy to call my sister-in-law to help.
You are really good at cooking."
Zheng Xianyong nodded, picked up a piece of meat, dipped it in some garlic sauce and put it in his mouth.
The roe deer meat is cooked with various seasonings and soy sauce. It is full of flavor, no worse than eating soy sauce beef. The more you eat it, the more you want to eat it. It's so fragrant.
Not only are these two dishes well-cooked, but all the dishes on the table today are also well-cooked.
It's full of oil and water, and it's full of flavor. No one would be willing to eat it like this in normal times anyway.
It's rare to catch such an opportunity, why don't you open your belly and make it?
The men were eating meat, drinking wine, and shouting punching orders, and the scene was lively.
Although the woman didn't drink, everyone was chatting and laughing, and the atmosphere was not bad at all.
Zhou Qinglan and Zhang Shuzhen sat together, chatting and laughing while eating, and looking back at the two tables from time to time.
If any of the dishes are missing or the wine is not enough, no one needs to say anything. Zhou Qinglan will get up quickly and go to replenish the food and get the wine.
Someone wanted to eat without drinking, so Zhou Qinglan hurriedly went to serve the meal.
That posture is exactly like that of a hostess.
"Sister-in-law, you are really lucky. Your son is capable. It is so rare to find a partner who is smart and clever."
All those women are envious.
I’m sending you more. Have fun, eat, drink and have fun. Happy holidays.
