Chapter 342 342, Reception Banquet
In addition, the cousin's family also invited their grandfather and grandson to be their companions. That is the county magistrate of their entire Ping County. This is obviously to make a face for their family and want their magistrate to show their face.
This must be a great thing.
He is old, and he doesn't care much about fame, fortune, and official position, but his eldest son is still in his prime and he has the opportunity to go further, and his two grandsons are still young.
If the eldest son's future official career is more spacious and smooth, then the future path of the two grandsons will be better.
The eldest grandson Jiaxing is currently serving as the team leader of the production team, and most likely he will follow his father's path in the future, and the second grandson's family business, they can't continue to arrange a team leader, so they let him follow the path of a carpenter. This can be regarded as the ancestral craftsmanship of their Qi family.
If there is a better choice, Qi Desheng naturally hopes that the two grandsons will have a better future, so he accepts the arrangement of the grandnephew's daughter-in-law without hesitation.
After all, the two of them are relatives of the same blood. If their family is good, it will also be a help to Qi Yuanhua's family.
—
In this hall, the two families were drinking tea and greeting each other. When Qi Desheng came in, Qi Han immediately introduced the two parties.
Hearing that the guest and Qi Han's family are close relatives, Zhou Jianshe's attitude is also a little more easy-going. Since he was invited by Qi Han, the relationship must be very close.
Xu Suyun saw that Shen Yuerong and the others were busy working in the kitchen, so she took her daughter to the kitchen to help, leaving the main room to the men to talk about.
On the stove house, Qin Tianru and the three were busy working in an orderly manner. The three of them often cooked together, and they had already formed a tacit understanding. Even though there were more dishes to do tonight, there was not a trace of panic in the stove.
In addition, the ingredients for tonight’s dinner have been prepared one after another since the morning, so the three of them will be very relaxed and calm.
This completely made Xu Suyun's mother and daughter useless, so they could only stay on the side and watch Qin Tianru show off his skills.
Tonight's dishes were prepared extremely richly, almost half of the Qi's existing inventory was taken out, which were all dry goods accumulated little by little during this period.
Soon, the delicious food was served on the table.
Qi Han moved the wooden table out of their house, and each male and female sat at one table, while Qi Jun was still young and could not drink with the male table, so he was directly assigned to the female table.
After everyone sat down at the table, they couldn't help being stunned when they saw such a sumptuous table of dishes.
Steamed kippers, fried bacon with dried bamboo shoots, steamed sausages, pork belly with pickled vegetables, roasted chicken with mushrooms, Mapo tofu, vinegared cabbage, cold salad with three shreds, scrambled eggs with chives, and omelette soup with vegetables.
Qin Tianru made a total of ten dishes, each of which was quite enough. In addition, she also steamed a basket of milk-flavored steamed buns and a large pot of white rice, which would definitely ensure that everyone was full. of.
When several main dishes were ready, Qin Tianru also took a large bowl and put a little bit of each, and then asked Xiaojun to deliver it to Auntie and the others.
It is rare for their family to cook so many good dishes at one time, so naturally they can't be without Auntie and Sister-in-law. As for the uncle's family, Qin Tianru directly ignored it.
I didn't ask my aunt and my sister-in-law to come over for dinner tonight. It was also out of consideration for the guests. It wasn't that Qin Tianru looked down on country women, but that some people living in the city didn't like some of the habits of country people.
She also didn't know Xu Suyun's mother and daughter's preferences and habits, and she also didn't know if their mother and daughter would mind crowding at the same dining table with everyone, so she didn't call anyone rashly.
They are called uncles and grandpas, because the local custom is like this. Male elders or brothers are required to accompany guests to drink, but women do not need that.
Secondly, they almost prepared dinner at home, and they didn't need their help. Therefore, Qin Tianru didn't specifically call Auntie and sister-in-law over for dinner.
"Huanhuan, you've prepared too much. Our family came to thank you, but now you're spending money."
Zhou Jianshe was stunned for a moment, but he quickly reacted, and then looked at Qin Tianru with disapproval.
It is not easy to prepare such a table of meals during this period. Even if he is the county magistrate, he may not have the ability to obtain such abundant ingredients.
In terms of living materials, he has some ways, but in terms of food, he has no extra way, because the consumption of ingredients is too much.
However, now the Qi family has prepared such a sumptuous dinner in order to receive their family, which shows how sincere they are, which makes Zhou Jianshe feel very sorry.
"Suyun, why don't you persuade me."
Xu Suyun really wanted to give him a blank look, she was helpless too.
She has no room to intervene in the stove, how can she stop her?
And by the time the mother and daughter entered the stove, the ingredients were already ready and ready to cook.
How could she persuade her?
She is also a woman who has done housework, and naturally understands that if the ingredients that have been packed up are not processed in time, the weather will easily deteriorate.
If she stops Huanhuan from cooking, it will be a waste of ingredients.
Humph, these men, they know nothing if they don't know anything before cooking.
Zhou Qi saw that her mother was speechless, so she had to answer first.
"Dad, auntie and the others have already prepared the ingredients."
Hearing the words, Zhou Jianshe paused, and the meaning was clearly expressed.
Shen Yuerong hurriedly enlivened the atmosphere, "Mayor Zhou, you can eat it with confidence, many of the ingredients on this table were brought back from the mountains, and there is no money at all, so it's not a big expense.
In our countryside, we all have the habit of stockpiling food. Every household has some pickled food, and we still have it in our cellar. "
Qi Yuanhua followed his wife's words and said, "Yes, yes, these are all brought back from the mountains by a few children in the family. Even the pork and pheasants were caught from the mountains."
Qi Zhongkang also opened his mouth at the right time, "Although the times are not good, fortunately, our brigade is relying on several mountains, and they all say that relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, the current situation of our brigade may be better than the people who eat commercial grain in the city. some."
These words made Zhou Jianshe unable to refute, and smiled bitterly, "You are really right, it is easy to buy some industrial products in the city now, but the daily ingredients are always in a state of insufficient supply.
We live in the city, and we don’t have any private land where we can grow vegetables and fruits. If we want to eat fresh vegetables and meat, it is really difficult. We have to queue up early in the morning every day. "
"Indeed, the city is not as convenient as the country at this point."
Xu Suyun also nodded in agreement, she was deeply touched in this regard today.
Just now, she also saw some of the ingredients and materials that the Qi family put in the stove. It can be seen that the Qi family is really rich in this regard, and their living standards are much better than theirs.
At least their family can't afford such a table of meals.
