After the marriage was severed, I fled with my golden finger to protect my mother
Chapter 218: Simple New Year's Eve Dinner
There was a deathly silence in the room. Although no one was sure whether what Xu Linzhi said was true or not, no one dared to gamble with their own life.
"Why don't we ask the guys at the clinic to run a trip and say they're picking up another dose of cold medicine to help deliver it. If there's nothing else, it won't be too late for us to go back later."
Finally, it was the shrewd Xu Qingrong who came up with a good idea. In order not to arouse other people's suspicion, he asked Xu Linzhi to continue lying on the bed pretending to be unconscious, then he took out some copper coins and went out to find the guy just now.
No one else in the Xu family had any objection, and Xu Linzhi followed her father's wishes and lay back on the bed and closed her eyes.
The scenes in the dream appeared before her eyes like a kaleidoscope. Xu Linzhi guessed that she might have been reborn.
The reason why I dream about things from time to time may be that I have lost a lot of my memory. This time, I was hit by the carriage by accident, but it turned out to be a blessing in disguise and I remembered everything.
"Brother, it's very easy to prove that I'm not talking nonsense. You just need to find out whether Xu Qinghe has been adopted as an adopted son by the old princess of Prince Ning's Mansion, and then you will know that what I said is true."
Xu Linzhi suddenly thought of Xu Qinghe. If he really became a great general as in her dream, then her family could find a way to go to his house and seek his protection.
"Well, this is a good idea, but the Ning Wang Mansion is also a high-ranking family, how can we peasants like us just ask around?"
Brother Xu hesitated for a moment. He was actually very timid. He was afraid that if he went over to get information, he would fail and get caught and beaten.
"Then let me go. If Prince Ning's Mansion really wants to adopt a son, people outside will definitely spread rumors."
Seeing that his eldest brother was worried, Second Brother Xu took the initiative to step forward.
He has always been brave, and he is the one who walks around the most in the Xu family these days.
So after Xu Qingrong came back, Second Brother Xu told him about this matter, and then he wrapped himself up tightly and went out.
Xu Linzhi began a long and anxious wait, but the residence of Xu Qinghe, which they were concerned about, was very lively.
"This meat is good, fat and tender, and tastes fragrant without any fishy smell..."
"Especially the braised offal, which is fresh, fragrant and spicy. It makes people want to eat more. It is really a great dish to go with wine."
"And this pig intestine is delicious too, it's shiny and greasy and smells really good..."
"The sausage and smoked meat are also delicious. I can eat two bowls of rice just by smelling them..."
"Hahahaha...that sounds nice, but don't try to snatch it from us later..."
There were about ten large tables in the yard, and everyone sat around the tables, smelling the aroma wafting from the big kitchen and drinking wine.
The snow has stopped temporarily in the past two days, and the sun, which has not been seen for a long time, has quietly shown its face. A batch of ready-made coal stoves were sent to the city from the farm, and the sausages and smoked meat that had been prepared before were also brought over.
Yuxiu didn't have to worry about the sale of the coal stoves, as they were taken away by Song Yiheng and his men at the city gate.
So Xu Qinghe thought that the New Year was approaching and it would most likely snow. The remaining fat pigs on the farm weighed several hundred kilograms and were all fat and big-eared. It would be better to just kill them and eat the meat.
Not only can it distribute some to everyone in the village, but it can also reduce everyone's workload, so that everyone can have a good year.
As a result, all the big fat pigs on the farm suffered. Before they could even eat a bite of pig food in the morning, they were held down and tied up.
With the experience from last time, everyone found the work very easy. Besides, the host had already said that he would give everyone some meat, so everyone was very motivated.
Killing the pig, cutting it up, cleaning it...it all went very smoothly.
This time, the two sides slaughtered a total of twenty-five pigs, and they were all big fat pigs, so even if some was distributed to each tenant, there was still a lot of pork left.
Because everyone liked the sausages and smoked meat made last time, Xu Qinghe asked the women on the farm to continue making them.
After the pig was killed, everyone felt relieved. Except for the elderly, the weak and the sick who were unable to walk and were left on the farm, everyone else was pulled by horse-drawn carriages to Xu's house to eat the pig-killing meal.
This was also Yuxiu's idea. It could be considered as having a New Year's Eve dinner with everyone in advance, telling everyone about the upcoming work, and giving some bonuses as encouragement to those who perform well.
Hence the lively scene we have now. As pots of greasy and red-braised pork were placed on the table, no one had the heart to brag anymore and everyone started to swallow their saliva.
For this New Year's Eve dinner, Yuxiu brought out a lot of seasonings, such as various soy sauces, five-spice powder, and MSG...
She and Xu Qinghe changed the packaging of all of them in the space, and only took them out to use after making sure that nothing could be seen.
The seasonings in this dynasty were very simple. On weekdays, when people cooked, it was a luxury to add a few drops of oil. Having never seen such a scene before, my taste buds were immediately attracted by the shiny color.
Yuxiu also taught the head kitchen several recipes, such as crispy pork, steamed pork with rice flour, and maoxuewang.
The people in the yard had already started eating at Xu Qinghe's invitation, and Uncle Cui and two cousins were also helping out.
As for Old Mrs. Cui, she stayed in the backyard with Cui and did not come out.
The people in the big kitchen are all good cooks. This is fresh pork that has just been slaughtered locally, and with the various seasonings that Yuxiu brought out, today's meal is so good that even Yuxiu, a modern person who has eaten countless delicacies in her previous life, likes it very much.
First, she brought people to send in a table for Old Lady Cui and Mrs. Cui. Yuxiu then took out a food box that had been prepared long ago and put several dishes that had been left in the pot into it.
The old princess was very kind to her. Since she had made some delicious food today, she naturally had to send some over for her to try.
By the time Yuxiu returned from Prince Ning's Mansion, everyone in the yard had eaten and drunk their fill. Of course, although Xu Qinghe had prepared some wine, it was not much, only enough for everyone to have a small glass.
The main consideration was that they would have to go back later, and something might happen if they drank too much again.
Even so, everyone was already satisfied enough. They had good food and good wine to eat and lived in a new house. They were not just ordinary people. To be honest, their lives were better than those of the landlords and rich people in their hometown.
What's more important is that everyone got red envelopes in the end, which made everyone very happy. They kept saying good things and they wished that the farming season would come now so that they could work hard for their master.
The excitement of the Xu family gradually faded away, and the people in the mansion went to bed early after a busy day. Until midnight, Yuxiu suddenly opened her eyes, silently looked at the window that was being pushed open, and couldn't help laughing.
