Crossing the farm gate, the whole family reunites in the disaster year

I also made crystal clear crystal rice noodle wrappers, cut the golden egg skin into thin strips, and paired it with shredded vegetables of various fresh vegetables, and rolled them into crystal rolls of the same size. It was both novel and delicious.

......

After packing up the food and preparing everything, the boys in the family started to gather on the ox cart.

Now that we have our own ox cart, it is more convenient to transport goods.

Three covered wooden barrels were filled with seaweed to be sent to the restaurant, and several clean baskets were filled with ingredients prepared for the Xu family's birthday banquet. After loading all these, half of the ox cart was still empty.

Sifu sat in the front of the car, looking like a driver.

In the past two days, he shamelessly followed behind Grandpa Ma Zi and managed to master the trick of driving a cart through coaxing and begging. When Lin found out, she hurriedly cut two pounds of pig skin and added two bamboo tubes of wine and asked Sifu to deliver it.

Other people's eating skills cannot be learned by flattering them. After eating some wine and meat, Grandpa Mazi taught Sifu all his hidden experiences, and even taught him a lot of experience in raising cattle.

Old man Cui asked a carpenter to make a frame for the cart with the wood, and Cui Chengliang suggested adding sides around the cart board.

After some improvements, the final product was similar to the cart bed of later generations.

Lin likes this truck bed very much. When the goods are loaded into it, there is no need to worry about them rolling away, and people can sit safely in it.

Sifu turned around and shouted, "There's still room on the bus. Aunt Lin, come sit in together."

Looking at the honest Zhongzi, Lin shook her head and said, "We'll sit here again when we get back. That's it, let's go."

In addition to Lin, Cui Jingwen also went there, but he went to celebrate the birthday.

The ox cart stopped at the side door of Xu's mansion.

It was still early, and only a few guests had arrived early. Most of the guests were servants of the Xu family, busy coming in and out in an orderly manner.

After Lin revealed her identity, a servant went in to inform the steward. Not long after, a burst of hurried footsteps came out.

"Hello, Aunt Lin." Xu Changyi raised his hand to salute, then turned and pointed at a few servants, "You guys help Aunt Lin carry the things in and send them to the kitchen."

After saying this, he hugged Cui Jingwen with a joking tone.

"You are quite good, kid. The county magistrate praised you. Come on, come on, follow me in. My father has been waiting for you since early morning."

Cui Jingwen rolled his eyes at him and said, "Go away! Don't wrinkle my clothes."

This piece of clothing was specially sewn for him by Old Lady Cui. The cotton fabric wrinkles easily and cannot be damaged by him.

Lin was watching the Xu family's servants unloading the cart. When she heard that Cui Chengliang was going to see the old doctor Xu, she pointed to the two jars on the ox cart and asked him to take them with him.

This is a gift for Dr. Xu, two jars of wine.

I opened a jar the day before yesterday and it was filled with a rich aroma, no worse than the wine sold on the market.

Although Lin had never tasted the wine sold here, she had heard of the price. A small cup of wine in the restaurant cost half a tael of silver.

Not only is the price high, but all the wines are shipped from foreign merchant ships. It can be said that there is no demand for them and you can't drink them whenever you want.

These two jars of wine were placed in the restaurant, and each jar would cost at least a hundred taels of silver, which is quite a present as a gift.

When Xu Changyi heard that there was wine in the jar, he couldn't help but smack his lips. He didn't let his servants do anything, but took the wine away himself.

Lin was led to the main kitchen.

The Xu family’s house is big, and the kitchen is also big. There are three stoves alone, and one outside is specifically for boiling water.

The steward had instructed in advance to reserve a separate stove for Lin and arranged a cook to help her.
