Chapter 421 (1/2)
After offering sacrifices to his ancestors, Mei Zhonghua called several elder brothers and sisters who were close to each other, indicating his intention of offering wine to celebrate in the village.
They all agreed.
At the moment, he decided to set up a kitchen stove in the courtyard of eldest Mei's house and invite the best cooks in the village to cook.
Although the banquets in the countryside can't compare with the restaurants in the city, they are also exquisite in seven dishes and eight bowls.
Place tables and long stools in the courtyard. If there is not enough space, sit in the open air.
The banquet must be small dishes, hot dishes and big dishes. It should also be divided into front court and back court, sweet soup, salty soup and so on.
Generally speaking, banquets are held at noon. But now, on this day, when you can dry yourself outside at noon, you can't put it outside. Besides, it's not too early today After discussing with his elder brother, Mei Zhonghua decided to put the banquet until the evening. At six or seven o'clock in the evening, it was cool and everyone could arrive. It happened that there was no need to work in the field on that day, and everyone could eat and drink happily.
Now that the decision has been made, the division of labor has to be done. Now that Mei Zhonghua is used to ordering people in the company, he is responsible for arranging the money, explaining the things that should be explained clearly, and someone will rush to do it After all, some of the Mei family's nephews and nephews followed him, and they used to work according to their arrangements. Even if today's job was to buy food, meat and wine, it would be the same.
In the middle of the afternoon, the food, tobacco and wine needed were bought back.
Besides, the meat and vegetables alone were put in a pile in the yard.
After a quick lunch, the cooks began to be busy.
In addition to the necessary help kitchen, at that time, the rural chefs were really wonderful. A few people could use it. First, they steamed and stewed the vegetables that needed to be steamed and stewed, and the rest was to prepare the side dishes, which was convenient for cooking.
In summer, it's so hot that you can't just prepare hot dishes. You have to have cold dishes.
If this is a red and white banquet, it will pay more attention to it. Fortunately, it is just a general banquet, and there is not too much attention on the dishes. However, if there is no more attention, there must be chicken, fish and meat. This is for sure!
Mei Xiaoran's brother and sister also wanted to help in the kitchen. But as the only two students in meijiazhuang who were admitted to university, they were brought to the yard of Er Bo's family to introduce their learning experience At that time, the university did not expand its enrollment, and taking a university entrance examination was like walking on a single wooden bridge, which was certainly admired by people.
When it comes to learning experience, this is nothing more than good learning habits and hard work. It is not to say that Mei's brothers and sisters do not want to introduce them. It is true that they do. It is just the fact that they introduce again.
Fortunately, there are not many people in the village who know how to learn, and very few of them can get into high school. They really don't have much to ask them about their study. What's more, the people in Zhuang are asking how old their brothers and sisters are, and whether they are engaged? Did you say that the mother-in-law didn't?
Mei Xiaoran knew the rules in the countryside, so she said with a smile that she still had to go to school. She said that her mother-in-law's affairs would not have to be considered by aunts and aunts.
However, Mei Xiaolei's face turned red when he was asked. Those aunts had an idea to tell his niece and niece to him. One by one, they were like Grandma Wang selling melons. It seems that as soon as Mei Xiaolei lets go, they can immediately bring their daughters to meet, and then marry according to their heads
