Chapter 66 Mid-Autumn Festival Food, People Reunion
The crabs I went to the river were very good, but they were real wild game.
This Mid-Autumn Festival, everyone can get together, eat mooncakes and crabs, and drink the bamboo wine made by Gu Shuixiu, which is as beautiful as a god.
Speaking of this bamboo wine, it is Gu Shuixiu's exclusive secret. The spirit wine used is just an ordinary burning knife outside. After buying it, it is filled with Cuizhushan bamboo, then sealed with clay, and left it for more than a year. When you want to drink it, it will be opened. Each bamboo contains not much bamboo wine, which is just enough for them to finish it at one time. The remaining ones that are not opened can be preserved.
Shen Shikang fell in love with this sip when he first drank this bamboo wine. However, the bamboo wine was brewed with a knife, and the degree was too high. It would be fine to drink a few sips when it was cold. When the weather was hot, he would sweat all over if he had a sip. It just so happened that Shen Shikang was afraid of heat, and summer was the most difficult for him!
The weather is already cold in Mid-Autumn Festival, so it’s just right to drink it at this time.
Seeing that the family was looking forward to the Mid-Autumn Festival delicacies, Gu Shuixiu simply asked Dong Chenghu to go to the beach and get some oysters back, so that Dong Yi could get some wild game in the mountains.
At that time, you can make a charcoal-grilled oysters and an open-air barbecue, which will definitely make these children crazy.
Early in the Mid-Autumn Festival, a sound of slapping the door sounded from Cuizhu Mountain. Dong Shan opened the door and found that it was Shen Ziping, and there were some strange faces. He quickly invited the person in and reported to Dong Chenghu.
But after a while, everyone in Dong's house gathered in the main hall.
The happiest thing here is Liang. She was still sad that Shen Ziping could not come back to reunite in the Mid-Autumn Festival. Unexpectedly, after reading it for a few days, she actually recited people back.
Shen Jiang's body stayed in Shen Ziping's arms and didn't bother him to have any odor.
Shen Shikang chuckled from beginning to end, but Gu Shuixiu could feel that he was in a very good mood.
Dong Chenghu couldn't wait to ask: "Brother Shen, how are you doing outside now? But is that okay?"
Shen Shikang smiled comfortably at Dong Chenghu and first introduced the people around him to Dong Chenghu and others, "They are my subordinates. This time I escorted me to Jin'an County. I may have to ask you to prepare some food and change clothes for them later. They have not taken a shower for several days and have never eaten a hot meal."
When Dong Chenghu heard this, he quickly asked Luo Yingbian to prepare. Prepare clothes for those who should prepare them, and prepare them for those who should prepare them for hot water, and prepare them for the meals by Cuixi.
Gu Shuixiu smiled and said, "Brother Shen, let them take a shower first. As for the meal, let's have a stomachache. Today is Mid-Autumn Festival, and we have prepared a big meal. If they eat too much, they will not be able to eat later."
Shen Ziping smiled and said yes. After thanking Dong Chenghu and Gu Shuixiu, he immediately left the main hall.
Shen Ziping handed Shen Jiang'an to Liang's family and said, "Jin'an County is now completely under Dongqi's control. There is no big problem. It's Yongjia County. Before, Song Youxin severely punished the people below, which made people panic. Some people with ghosts in their hearts all found reasons to find another way out. This man could not make up for the short term, and Song Youxin seemed to be in a hurry, as if he was looking for someone he was looking for, and he had been stationed in Zhishui County."
Liang joked with some amusement, "Is it possible that the person he is looking for is Zhishui County? Then Zhishui County is the size of a palm, and there are not tens of thousands of people in the entire county town. If it cannot be found, it proves that the person is not there. What is he still insisting on?"
Shen Ziping shook his head in confusion.
Without mentioning the troubles outside, Liang went to the kitchen to bring the mooncakes he made to Shen Ziping.
When Shen Ziping saw Liang's look like she was asking for praise, she knew that these snacks were made by her, but the things Liang made in the past were so terrifying. Shen Ziping hadn't eaten normally for several days. Now when he saw the food Liang brought it up, his eyes widened.
It looked like a war between heaven and man. Gu Shuixiu looked at him and wanted to laugh, her shoulders were trembling. Dong Chenghu and the Gu family didn't know this joke. Zhao kept praising Liang and pointed at Gu Shuixiu and said, "You also learn from others. It turns out that they are from wealthy families, they are considerate."
Gu Shuixiu, “…”
Shen Ziping, “…”
Shen Shikang, “…”
The expressions of the three of them are so wonderful!
Liang was embarrassed by Zhao's praise, but his face was full of smiles, but Chen Jiang'an didn't understand these things and explained innocently: "Grandma Gu, what my mother cooks cannot be eaten, and my father has a shadow in his heart!"
"Boy! Are you tearing me up?!" Liang changed his face in a second and almost grabbed Chen Jiang'an and beat him up.
Now Zhao is embarrassed.
Gu Shuixiu laughed unkindly. Seeing that Shen Ziping was still confused about whether to eat or not, she said, "Brother Shen, this mooncake is made by Cuixi and the others, but it was made by her sister-in-law himself. The appearance may be poor, but the taste is absolutely guaranteed."
When Shen Ziping heard this, he seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. He quickly picked up a piece of mooncake and ate one bite at a time. He ate all the mooncakes made by Liang in a short while, and praised without hesitation: "Madam, the dim sum you made is really good and delicious!"
However, after Chen Jiang'an's trouble, Liang's good mood has been reduced. He vowed to learn cooking well and avenge his previous shame!
After the fuss, Shen Ziping took the clothes prepared by Liang to the bathroom. After washing, he completely relaxed and sat in the yard drinking tea and talking to Shen Shikang. Several children chased each other in the yard and had a lot of fun.
The warm afternoon sun shines in the yard, which makes people feel very calm.
Shen Shikang talks to Shen Ziping from time to time, and asks several children to come over to drink tea and rest, so as to prevent them from going crazy.
With Shen Shikang watching, Gu Shuixiu was not worried, and she started to have a dinner tonight.
She asked Dong Shan to go to the valley to invite the Qin family and Zuo family to have dinner tonight, while she was busy preparing food. Cui Xi and Luo Ying helped her, and soon all the skewers were skewers with bamboo sticks.
The meat is the roe deer meat that Dong Yi beat back, and it is the most tender. Some of the prawns and fish that Dong Chenghu caught in the paddy fields have all been marinated and then roasted directly.
As for those oysters, they all need to be opened. This is a physical work, so Gu Shuixiu has all been arranged by Dong Chenghu.
Fresh oysters with garlic and minced peppers, and add some scallions and spices. Bake them over the fire to attract all the greed.
As soon as Gu Shuixiu thought of the fragrance, her saliva almost flowed down.
The preparations for this room were almost done, and the Qin family and the Zuo family arrived late.
The Zuo family took a lot of time to clean up because Dong Yunmei was dragged by the twins. Zuo Qingsong wanted to help Dong Yunmei take care of the children, so the whole family came late.
Because the autumn harvest is coming, they are busy in the fields recently. When Dong Shan passed by, they were in a mess. Liu Yueyi looked at the children and Hao prepared hot water for them to take a bath. After a while, it was too late.
Chapter completed!
