Chapter 64: : Rich okonomiyaki sake

Shen Yizhi brought out fruits and snacks to entertain them, chatting and gossiping about the village.

Not long after, the furniture she customized in the county arrived.

Men Li Jingeng and Li Dachun helped move the furniture into the house, while Aunt Li and the women helped Shen Yizhi place the furniture.

After working for a few hours, the house finally looked like something.

The rest will be sorted out slowly, there is no rush.

Shen Yizhi cooked a sumptuous meal and left Aunt Li and others to eat.

By the time they were full and full of food and wine, it was almost evening, and several families left one after another and went home.

Shen Yizhi closed the courtyard door and breathed a sigh of relief.

Looking at the brand new house in front of me, I felt a sense of satisfaction and stability.

At this point, she has her own roots in this strange world.

She will probably stay here for a long time in the future. This is her first home in another world!

She had worried before that building such a big and spectacular house would be too eye-catching compared to other houses in the village.

But then I felt relieved.

As long as she is strong enough, what if others are envious, jealous, and hateful? It can only make herself sore to death, and it will not have the slightest impact on her.

So, the most important thing is to feel comfortable!

“Baby, we have a new house, aren’t you happy?”

“New house, happy!” Qing Bao stood in the yard with bright eyes, looking straight at the big house in front of him.

“Come on, let’s go in and decorate our new home!”

Shen Yizhi took Qing Bao and walked in.

Take out the corresponding objects stored in the space one by one and place them in appropriate locations.

The clothes, shoes, hats, etc. were put in the cloakroom connected to the bedroom. Bedding was spread on the bed, and the slippers she and Qing Bao wore were placed on the footrests.

Lay a thick carpet on the ground close to the bed, and place Qingbao's dolls, jigsaw puzzles, wooden horses and other toys for him to play on.

Afraid that he would be hungry, Shen Yizhi placed snacks and milk on a low table not far away. When he was tired from playing, he could just walk a few steps to eat.

After working for more than two hours, she made the entire small building warm and comfortable, and she felt full of accomplishment.

As for the front yard, let it be like that for the time being, and then arrange it slowly to avoid others being suspicious.

The house has just been built today, and the villagers are curious and come to visit. Naturally, she can't stop them. But after today, she won't let people come to the small building easily. This is a private area that only belongs to her and Qing Bao.

A good night’s sleep.

It was still dark the next day, and Aunt Li, who had been instructed by Shen Yizhi yesterday, came early with Li Chuntao to make warm house wine for her.

Also here are the two women who were in charge of the workers’ meals with her.

With four people, plus Shen Yizhi, the kitchen was suddenly bustling with activity.

Yang Cuifen sat in the yard with Xiao Man, who was only one month old, and helped Shen Yizhi look at Qing Bao.

“Sister Zhizhi, a person named Huiniang is looking for you.” Li Chuntao led a person in.

Shen Yizhi hurriedly came out of the kitchen, "Hui Niang, are you here? Come in and sit for a while."

Hui Niang said before that she would come to celebrate her, so she sent someone to deliver the message early in the morning.

As she spoke, she welcomed Hui Niang into the house.

Huiniang gave her an angry look, "I'm not an outsider, why are you so polite? Well, this is a congratulatory gift."

After giving her what she had brought, Hui Niang approached Qing Bao.

Shen Yizhi put down the things and told Yang Cuifen: "Sister Cuifen, please help me entertain Hui Niang."

“Doctor Shen, don’t worry.”

Yang Cuifen greeted Huiniang warmly.

By mid-morning, all kinds of meat and vegetables were almost ready in the kitchen. They were placed in wooden basins by category, just waiting to be cooked.

 Li Dachun and Li Jingeng are responsible for the outside affairs, such as borrowing tables, chairs and benches from the villagers, and setting up banquets.

Li Xiaodong was assigned the task of recruiting people.

By the time every household was notified, he was already sweating profusely.

“Thank you for your hard work Xiaodong.” Shen Yizhi brought out a bowl of yam and pork ribs soup to him, “First, I’ll comfort my stomach.”

The little food Li Xiaodong had eaten in the morning had long since disappeared. Now he was so hungry that his stomach was growling, so he said no polite thanks and took it and ate it.

It smells so good!

Village people arrived one after another, and each family brought some congratulatory gifts, such as a basket of eggs, a piece of meat, a piece of cloth, etc., all of which were thoughtful gifts.

Shen Yizhi wrote everything down on paper.

Before the banquet even started, the villagers gathered together to chat and eat melon seed snacks on the table.

Drink a cup of fragrant and sweet tea when you are thirsty.

This feeling is so comfortable.

They don’t have such a good opportunity to eat and drink on weekdays.

At almost 11 o'clock, the banquet started. Li Dachun and the others were once again arrested as coolies and became the waiters, bringing plates of dishes to the table.

First, there are four dishes of cold dishes: braised pig ears, soy sauce pork, salted peanuts, and cold black fungus.

Two meat and two vegetables, these cold dishes alone shocked the villagers. When the hot dishes were presented later, they almost stared out of their eyes.

Honour, this is even more impressive than the flowing water table Mr. Gu invited last time.

After the cold dishes, there are four hot dishes: chicken cakes, chicken oil mushrooms, fish-flavored shredded pork, and stir-fried shrimps.

Eight major dishes: white-cut fried chicken, braised carp, beef meatball soup, braised pork, steamed pork, white meat blood sausage, spicy chicken, yam and pork ribs soup.

The noodle dish is roasted suckling pig.

The roasted suckling pig was served whole on a plate as big as a basin. It was still oily and steaming. The aroma instantly swept through everyone's senses, making them unable to feel anything else and just stare. Looking at the roasted suckling pig in front of me.

Hurrying to move the chopsticks.

After the noodles are served, there are four accompanying dishes: braised cabbage heart, Chinese cabbage in vinegar, steamed egg with minced pork, and diced pork with chili pepper.

After eating those big meats and big meats before, try these side dishes again, how can the taste be so wonderful?

Finally, there are two desserts, one pumpkin pie and one fruit platter.

This warm-house wine made everyone marvel. Of course, while they were amazed, their mouths never stopped and they were all eating hard.

Where can they get such good food on weekdays? There is no such opportunity even during the Chinese New Year.

A meal that lasts until mid-afternoon.

The villagers took the return gifts from Shen Yizhi and went home satisfied.

In return, there was a letter of cakes, a handkerchief, and Shen Yizhi's homemade insect repellent incense.

This gift is heavier than most people bring. Can the villagers be dissatisfied?

Of course, some people felt sorry and took the initiative to stay and help clear the tables and chairs. Huiniang didn't leave either, and helped with the work neatly.

After the banquet, there will inevitably be a lot of leftovers, and it would be a pity to throw them away. The villagers rarely eat meat and fish a few times a year, but they don't mind it. When they learned that Shen Yizhi asked them to share it and take it home, they were all overjoyed.

With more people and greater strength, we were busy until evening, and the messy yard was finally cleaned up.
