I fell through the tunnel and brought my family to live a good life
Chapter 37 Preparing Ingredients
When they got home, the family unloaded the purchased food, returned the two ox carts, had a quick lunch and went back to the house to rest.
After a good rest, they began to prepare for tomorrow's dinner party. Li Dahua went out first to invite the village chief and villagers. There were not many families in Liushuzhuang Village, only about twenty households, but each family had a large number of people and a large number of young and middle-aged laborers. Since they were entertaining guests, there must be enough food, so Xu Congyi calculated the amount based on 200 people.
Old man Xu and his mother were washing eggplants in the yard. They were going to use them tomorrow. Xu Congyi wanted to help, but old man Xu felt sorry for her, so he let her go to rest. The whole family took the banquet the next day very seriously, and even paid special attention to washing the eggplants. They soaked the eggplants in water for a while, then picked up the eggplants one by one, carefully brushed the surface of the eggplants with a brush, and washed away all the dirt and impurities on them. Their movements were very skillful, but very serious, and every eggplant was washed clean by them.
Hunter Xu was responsible for cutting the pork. Xu Congyi bought a lot of meat, so Hunter Xu used a knife to cut the meat into small pieces. Xu Congyi did not ask his father to chop the meat in advance, but transferred the cut meat to the warehouse, which was cool and suitable for storing meat.
The butcher also gave him some pig offal. The pigs were big, so even if there was only one set of offal, it was still big, almost as big as the offal of the two wild boars. Old Man Xu and Hunter Xu had watched how Xu Congyi dealt with the pig offal. After washing the eggplants, Old Man Xu took over the basin of pig offal and started to clean it. The pig offal given by the butcher had been cleaned up, and the feces in the pig stomach and intestines had been removed, so it didn't have as strong a smell as when cleaning the wild boar offal. Old Man Xu was quick and nimble, and he cleaned it up in a short while. Just like last time, he just had to soak the blood out.
When Old Man Xu finished cleaning up, Li Dahua just happened to come back. She had already notified every household and asked three aunts who were on good terms with her to come and help early the next morning. She also told her family that she had borrowed two large pots, otherwise the two pots at home would not be enough.
Originally, Hunter Xu was thinking about going out to borrow money, but he didn't expect that his wife thought of it before him.
Li Dahua took a sip of water and said, "We don't have enough bowls and chopsticks at home. I've told everyone to bring their own. I've also asked the village chief to borrow some tables, chairs and benches from the village. When Congwen and Cong'an come back from school, we'll take them there and move in."
Xu Congyi couldn't help laughing. Although his mother was careless, she thought of everything that needed to be thought of. She was really thoughtful.
After everything was prepared, the two brothers Xu Congwen and Xu Cong'an came back from school. The family moved back the tables, chairs and benches from the village. These were for the village meeting hall. There were many tables and chairs because it was necessary to accommodate most people in the village to discuss important village affairs.
The family moved the things back and forth several times before they finished moving. Xu Congyi also helped to carry the table. Her small body couldn't handle it anymore. It seemed that she had to buy some fitness equipment in the space and continue to exercise.
They had another quick meal in the evening. Old Man Xu changed the water for the pig offal and continued to soak it. Then everyone went back to their rooms to rest. They had to get up early the next day, so everyone had to rest early to recharge their energy.
The next morning, the whole family found clean new clothes. These were new clothes made of cloth that Xu's mother bought when the whole family went to the temple to burn incense last time. They planned to change into them at noon today. Li Dahua had just boiled the water when the three aunts she had called yesterday came.
"Tiger Wife, here we come!"
The saying "hearing the voice before seeing the person" is very appropriate to describe these three aunts. Xu Congyi was concentrating on drinking porridge at the side, and was directly startled by the loud voice and almost choked.
"Cough cough cough..." Li Dahua quickly patted her daughter's back, then hurried out to greet the three aunts. After Xu Congyi recovered, he also hurried out of the kitchen.
The three sisters-in-law each carried a large iron pot and stood at the gate. Li Dahua quickly invited them into the yard and put the pot aside. Li Dahua introduced them to her daughter one by one, "This is Aunt Daniu. She used to be from the same village as you. You can just call her Aunt Li. The car we often rent is from her. These two are Aunt Sun and Aunt Liu. These three aunts are all good friends of you!"
In fact, Xu Congyi also discovered that these three aunts had cheerful personalities and seemed carefree, just like her mother.
"Aunt Li, Aunt Sun, Aunt Liu," Xu Congyi called out again.
"Hey! Hey!" The sisters-in-law were surprised and happy. They had only heard that Xu Congyi had recovered, but had never seen it with their own eyes. In the past, Xu Congyi did not eat because of illness, and was malnourished, with yellow hair and a thin body. Later, when her condition became serious, Xu Congyi lay in bed all day, with a haggard face and a thin body, and she did not even have the strength to speak. Now, after several months of recuperation and exercise, Xu Congyi has not only gained weight but also grown taller. In addition, she has a good foundation. When she stands here, she is a beautiful and lovely girl.
