Chapter 918 It’s simply a vicious cycle
As for the unpleasant scene that Sister Lin made just now?
Everyone: Sorry, I didn’t see it!
The old Qian woman is so powerful. She will tie up people whenever she says, and she will personally watch them. Who dares to talk nonsense under her nose and get slapped in the face?
What's more, the banquet hosted by the Zhu family this time was considered very good at the foot of Taidang Mountain.
Every table will have meat, tofu, stir-fried vegetables with various sauces, and a bowl of multigrain porridge for each person. They dare to say: "How many people can find this at the foot of Taidang Mountain?"
"Isn't that right? Last time I went to Lijiacun for dinner, they didn't even have steamed buns, they just gave me a bowl of gruel. It was so thin that you could see the bottom. The Zhu family is really honest and can get something."
"Forget it, the Zhu family at least still has meat. Where else can you eat it?"
…
Ye Yuran had already tried his best to make this banquet a good one.
But it’s not like she didn’t have a sense of propriety, so she drained her home to prepare. For example, the meat-flavored bean dregs balls are an “old tradition” of the Zhu family, which are balls made with broth and bean dregs.
As for the multigrain porridge, she deducted some of the money from selling the formula, bought aged whole grains, added various beans, dried vegetables, etc., mixed it with flour, and cooked it together.
The sauces are also prepared at home, and not all dishes are available. I only picked two flavors, and then paired them with a slightly more carefully prepared stock.
No matter whether you are full with porridge or not, the sweet potato leaves in various ways of soup look more sincere.
Of course, the people who came to eat did not come empty-handed. They had brought "gifts" with them, which were either handfuls of wild vegetables and fruits, or eggs and millet.
At this time, the country people were still relatively practical, and it was not easy to know any house. If so many people suddenly went to other people's houses to eat and drink for free, every house would be impoverished.
Except for a few who are particularly "stingy" and "stingy", most people will bring their own "rations".
I will also pay attention when eating, try not to add more food to the bowl, and even if I do, please be considerate and don't go too far.
After this round of guests have finished eating, those who are far away have to rush home before dark. After eating, they say goodbye to the host's family and then begin to retreat one after another. Those who are closer to the house leave a few who are closer to each other or want to help.
Or maybe there is something else to say.
Ye Yuran, along with several women from the Zhu family and a group of people who helped with the work, were the last to eat.
After you're done, you have to clean up quickly.
Borrowed tables, chairs, and benches must be returned. When returning, you must not leave them empty-handed. You must also find something to wrap up the gifts that should come with them, and send them to the person's home along with the items.
The men of the Zhu family usually do the work of returning things, while the women are responsible for picking up leftovers, wiping tables, washing dishes, and cleaning.
As the closest relatives to the Zhu family, Aunt Zhu Third and Fourth Aunt Zhu naturally had to stay and help.
By the time it's all over, it will be dark.
"Sister-in-law, everything is packed. If nothing happens, we will go back first." Even if they didn't want to, they had to bite the bullet and ran to Ye Yuran at this time.
Even though they usually yelled fiercely at everyone with their backs to Ye Yuran and said they were not afraid of anyone, when they were actually in front of Ye Yuran, they were still a little timid.
Ye Yuran saw it and found it a little funny. He called out to Zhu Bamei: "Bamei, your third and fourth aunts are leaving, so hurry up and see them off."
"Hey, I'm here." Zhu Bamei responded and quickly carried a basket out.
Dabao and Erbao were very self-conscious. When they saw their sister-in-law going out, they got up to accompany her. They did not forget to tell Zhu Qi: "Uncle Qi, sit here and don't run around. We will go out with my sister-in-law for a while and come back."
After all, my sister-in-law is already half a girl over ten years old when she turns the new year. It is risky to go out alone.
Zhu Bamei: "Third aunt, fourth aunt, I will send you off."
Dabao and Erbao: "Third Grandma, Fourth Grandma, we will send you off."
Looking at the big and two little ones, Aunt Zhu Third and Fourth Aunt Zhu immediately laughed: "Okay, okay, I'll let you deliver them. It's just right. We haven't seen Dabao and Erbao for a while. They have been there during the day."
I was busy and didn’t say much, so I can say a few more words on the way.”
Compared to Ye Yuran, who was a little scary, they were much more familiar with these three people who often visited their home, and they also had something to talk about.
"Mom, I'm leaving."
"Milk, let's go."
"Sister-in-law, let's go."
Before going out, Fourth Aunt Zhu asked Bamei Zhu to stop carrying the basket and just use it empty-handed.
Neither of them is stupid. If they help at this time, they will usually be "rewarded".
What Zhu Bamei was carrying must have been delivered to their home.
"It's okay. I don't feel comfortable without something in my hands. Third Aunt, Fourth Aunt, let's go. Brother Sanhu and Brother Si Zhuang have gone back early. I don't know if they have boiled foot water." Zhu Bamei and Li
After following me for a long time, I learned to speak more or less. After a few words, the topic changed.
When Fourth Aunt Zhu heard this, she said: "What are you burning? They are too lazy to die. They went to bed without washing their feet. They must not have a fever."
"That won't work. Brother Three Tigers and Brother Four are already very old. They want to please their mother-in-law. If they don't wash their feet, they will be disliked by their future cousins. I will talk about them later. Even if I don't boil the foot-washing water,
You can also wash it with cold water..."
Ye Yuran stood in the yard, faintly hearing what her girl said, and smiled softly.
Compared with when she first wore it, Zhu Bamei is much more lovable now.
At this time, Mrs. Lin quietly walked over and whispered: "Mom, my eldest sister is still locked up in the pig pen. Look at this..." What should we do?
During the fight during the day, she wanted to scratch Sister Hualin's face to make her look good.
But now that time had passed, Mrs. Lin thought of the old sisterhood again, and felt a little worried, fearing that her mother-in-law would be cruel to her sister.
Lin Sanmei and Lin Simei were standing not far away, watching secretly and not daring to come over.
"Have you, Third Sister, Fourth Sister eaten enough?" Ye Yuran did not answer her question immediately, but asked Lin Third Sister and Lin Fourth Sister with concern.
Mrs. Lin said: "After we were full, my sister-in-law secretly left some cake in the house and they shared it."
She was afraid that Ye Yuran would misunderstand, so she added, "It's the cake my mother asked me to keep."
"I know." Ye Yuran said, "There are many people in the kitchen, people are coming and going, and I can't keep anything, so I asked the boss to take the food into the house. Have you all eaten?"
"Well, I ate them all. Fortunately, my mother asked me to collect them in the house. I don't know who took the ones left on the stove." Ms. Lin was also busy at the time, so she really didn't pay attention.
"It doesn't matter who took it away. Today's wedding banquet is over and everything that needs to be cleaned up has been cleared up. Then it's over." In fact, Ye Yuran knew it in her heart. She had been staying in the yard, and there was no trace of whoever had gone there.
See.
Of course, I also saw Big Mouth sneaking into the kitchen, and when he came out, his clothes were bulging.
Ye Yuran didn't care at all. She was already prepared in her heart when she asked her to leave the food outside. And these "losses" are also a favor. People come to your house to help. In addition to the leftovers after a busy day,
