The ingredients sent by Wang Zhai are very rich, and the pot can accommodate thousands of ways of eating, so Chen Xiuyan does not need to prepare any extra food, just use the ones sent by Wang Zhai.

Cut fresh venison and mutton into thin slices, cut fresh black fish into thin slices, remove the skin from pork belly and chop into puree, add seasonings to make hand-beaten meatballs, remove the shrimp devein, and leave half of it raw and blanched,

The other half was made into shrimp paste by Chen Xiuyan, so that the ancients could taste modern delicacies.

The meat dishes are almost ready, so Chen Xiuyan starts to sort out the ingredients. In winter, there are less vegetables, but Chen Xiuyan has space, so the fresh vegetables at home are not likely to run out. Of course, Chen Xiuyan doesn't take out too much, so she just brings out some bean sprouts, spinach, and lettuce, and adds

There are cabbage, radishes, potatoes and taro in the cellar.

The staple food is dumplings and noodles. When you eat from the pot, it goes into the soup. Once cooked, you will have a full meal.

The two Eight Immortals tables were filled with prepared ingredients. There was a large pot in the middle. The soup was stewed in the pot. Chen Xiuyan cooked the soup with large bones, dried mushrooms and radishes. Fill the pot halfway, then add half of the hot water, and the soup was boiled.

Not too oily and very delicious.

The most important thing in the pot is the dipping sauce. Chen Xiuyan used the soybean paste she brought from her parents' house, mixed it with her own peanut butter, added some soy sauce and a little vinegar, sprinkled some chopped green onion and mixed well. Those who like spicy food can add it themselves, Chen Xiuyan

Cut an extra plate of peppers.

When Mrs. Yuan and Granny Su came, they were a little surprised to see the battle prepared by Chen Xiuyan, "This is made of shrimp meat, with flour added?"

"Yes, I also added egg white, which makes it more tender and smooth." Chen Xiuyan shared without any concealment.

"I didn't expect that there are also venison, mutton and shrimp. This pot meal is very good." Mrs. Yuan also hadn't eaten venison and fresh seafood for a long time, so she was looking forward to it.

"Wang Zhai will send other seafood in a few days, come and eat it then." Mr. Tao glanced at Mrs. Yuan and said.

"Okay." Mrs. Yuan did not refuse, on the contrary she was a little happy.

Wang Yajie was very happy that he could live in the Luo family. The dinner on the first day gave him a surprise, and the meal left a fragrance in his mouth and teeth.

Of course, he was not the only one who enjoyed the meal, everyone ate with great interest. Mr. Tao sipped the rice wine, which was delicious. Even Mrs. Yuan drank the rice wine, and several young Chen Xiuyan prepared sugar water for them.

A group of people, two tables, everyone ate cleanly.

For the seafood dinner a few days later, Chen Xiuyan was still in charge of the cooking, and there was still the same team of people, and the day gradually moved forward in a lively manner.

On November 18th, an auspicious day, Chen Xiuyan asked the official media to send Luo Mingqing's betrothal gift, and Chen Xiuyan helped him prepare twenty-six loads.

The bride price is two hundred and eighty-eight taels, a box of jewelry, these two valuables are the first load, followed by a load of cloth, a load of dried seafood, three animal gifts, a pair of chickens, a pair of geese, fresh fish, and old wine

, four-color dried fruits...

Loads of betrothal gifts set off from Luojiatang Village with the music of playing music, and the official media looked on with joy. She had only seen such substantial betrothal gifts in wealthy families. Now she finally understood why they were willing to give their only daughter to Luo Mingqing. Not only did the Luo family

The future is good and the foundation is solid.

Today, the Cai family knew that the Luo family was coming to hire people, so they made preparations early in the morning. Mrs. Cai has already gone to the kitchen three times to carry the load in the winter. A bowl of brown sugar ginger tea to ward off the cold is a must, as well as dried fruits, wedding candies, etc.

Two tables of refreshments were also prepared in advance.

Mr. Cai also took leave early in the morning and was waiting at home. When the joy came from not far away, he stood up with a smile, thought about it and sat down again.

Mrs. Cai couldn't sit still. Although she didn't go to the door to look around, she still asked her personal maid to take a look.

"Madam, madam, the Luo family has a lot of betrothal gifts. I heard people on the street talking about it." The maid reported the good news happily.

Master Cai and Mrs. Cai both smiled after hearing this.

When the betrothal gift arrived, Mr. Cai and Mrs. Cai were also surprised. The betrothal gift was moderate, neither high nor low, but the jewelry was too expensive. They didn't expect the Luo family to be so generous. They felt more and more happy when they saw it. This was right.

The attention of my own daughter.

Master Cai and Mrs. Cai smiled and invited the load bearers to drink ginger tea and snacks in the main room. They gave the leader a red envelope and asked him to treat everyone to a good meal. The official media also gave a red envelope.

It was a great happy event, and both parties were satisfied. After sending the person out, Mrs. Cai was not in a hurry to put away the betrothal gift. After all, someone would come to congratulate her and take a closer look.

The Luo family's betrothal gift was absolutely worth it. Mrs. Cai laughed all day long until her face froze with laughter before sending the guests and relatives out.

"It seems that the dowry for Xiang'er needs to be more compact." Mrs. Cai planned to give her daughter as dowry what she could take away from the betrothal gift early in the morning. She did not expect that the Luo family would give 26 dan, and she prepared 18 dan for her daughter.

Loads, plus what can be taken away must be more than 30 loads, so the box can only be packed to the brim.

Cai Baoxiang blushed and looked at the betrothal gift sent by the Luo family, her smile never leaving her face.

Luo Mingqing of the Luo family finally felt relieved and went to thank Chen Xiuyan.

"Little aunt, thank you for your trouble." Luo Mingqing was embarrassed, but could not hide his happiness.

"It should be." Chen Xiuyan replied with a smile, "Your aunts will do their best to make your marriages as beautiful as possible."

On this day, Chen Xiuyan received for the first time all the money saved by the four brothers and sisters Luo Mingqing, Luo Mingchu, Luo Mingnian and Luo Mingxin.

"Little aunt, I handed it in once before, but you didn't accept it, but you must take it this time." Luo Mingqing said firmly, "I spent a lot of money on my wife, and it was all my uncle and aunt.

Spending all the money is not enough."

"Little aunt, I also want to hand it in." Luo Mingnian, a small man holding a small box, said in a childish voice.

"Me too." Luo Mingchu no longer had any objections to Chen Xiuyan. On the contrary, he liked her a little, but he was notoriously dull and could not say anything nice.

Luo Mingxin was closest to Chen Xiuyan, both girls, so she directly put her box in Chen Xiuyan's hand, "Give it all to my little aunt."

Chen Xiuyan frowned slightly, "Ming Qing, you are going to marry a wife soon, and this marriage should be given to your future wife."

"Auntie, why don't you help us buy a property or something else?" Luo Mingchu suggested.

Chen Xiuyan thought deeply and said, "Mingchu's idea is a good one. Mingqing, my little aunt has made it clear to you that from now on, the family's external affairs will fall on your shoulders."

Luo Mingqing looked a little more serious when he heard this, and nodded firmly, "Auntie, I know."

"You have been doing very well, and you have kept clear accounts of the income from your farm, shop, and fields, but this is not enough."

Chen Xiuyan's words made Luo Mingqing reveal a look of asking for advice, "Auntie, please give me some advice."
