Chapter 40: Twenty-six seats in the countryside

I had a gossip with Gui Qiu. Gui Chongyang did not go back to the house, but followed Gui Qiu to the kitchen.

The one in the kitchen was not Grandma Gui or Yang, but Zhou Dingxiang, who came to Gui's house for the first time.

There was no reason why customers helped to work for the first time when they came to the door, but who told Zhou Dingxiang to come to the Gui family today in the name of "helping the chef"?

The skill in this stove is not fake at all. Yang originally had a hand in hand. Seeing Zhou Dingxiang's quick hands and feet and good knife skills, he was embarrassed to ask her to help him again, so he gave up his position as the master.

Mei and Mei Duo were helping in the kitchen. Both of them had heard Gui Chongyang talk about the Zhou family, and they were very concerned about Zhou Dingxiang in their words.

Yang did not expect this place at all. The conditions of the Gui family were really despised by the country girls, and they should not think about thinking about the girls in the town. Her value for Zhou Dingxiang is the respect of a cook who has learned a half-length cook for Zhou Dingxiang's family skills.

Zhou Dingxiang was generous and did not fear the attention of a few women.

In the countryside, the top mat was eight plates and eight bowls, the middle mat was six plates and six bowls, and the bottom mat was four plates and four bowls. The Gui family was about to get up, but it was not silly. What was prepared was six plates and six bowls of the Chinese mat.

Two dishes of cold dishes, cold radish peel and mustard dumplings; four dishes of stir-fry, stir-fry small rapeseed, stir-fry shredded eggplant, pork shredded lentils, and toon stall eggs; four bowls of small stew, stew radish, shrimp peel tofu, stew chicken mixed, stew black fish, and two bowls of pressed table dishes are mushroom stewed chicken and Sixi meatballs.

It was noon and the stews were all working, and only a few fried foods were left to prepare to be put into the pot.

Yang looked at the sky outside and said to Gui Qiu: "Go outside and take a look, why haven't your elder brother come back yet..."

Gui Qiu muttered, "I don't care about walking with my parents' home, so why should I get along?"

Yang said, "Shut up, elders, what about you? Where is the point of being a junior? Don't tell your breasts to hear it!"

Gui Qiu rolled her eyes and pulled Gui Chongyang, who was enjoying cooking at Zhou Dingxiang and came out, saying, "It's really true at home. What's the matter with me? It would be strange if the Geng family would come!"

Gui Chongyang was not old, but he grew up reading the book of Confucius and Mencius since childhood. He did not agree with Gui's behavior of alienating his parents from the bottom of his heart. However, he had another advantage, that is, he could "put his heart in mind" and consider things from the perspective of others, not just condemn him.

"The lobby aunt was only in her teenage years old, and she was abandoned because of her family's implicitness. She was also unable to think about it for a while. Someone wanted someone to take a step back first. Uncle Wu was right, and the Gui family should take the initiative. The second grandpa and the second grandma said nothing, but they were all looking forward to it." Gui Chongyang said.

Gui Qiu curled his lips: "I'm afraid they're going to be disappointed. My aunt's temper will be known when you meet her later. She is a habit of being a mess. You said that the Geng family sells meat, so they naturally hope to have long-term customers. The master's restaurant is good, and he has to use about ten kilograms of pork and twenty kilograms of pigs every day, so he is not considered a little customer. But since I went to learn cooking and let my aunt know, the Geng family stop delivering goods. The master had to go to another family to deliver meat. He was afraid that it had nothing to do with me. What's the point of being so pissed? Could it be that I can come to borrow money when I know his family?"

It is hard to say that Gui Qiu likes to be a aunt, but Gui Chongyang is not a man, but he just knows that they are all poor.

The two of them slipped outside the door, and Gui Qiu said something disgusting, but her expression was already looking forward to it.

At this time, a figure came alone in the distance, but Gui Chun was walking alone.

Gui Chun was sweating on his forehead, and was in a hurry. He was holding a red and white hind leg flesh and two large pieces of pork liver in his hand.

Gui Qiu's face suddenly drooped: "The Geng family still refuses to come?"

Gui Chun wiped his sweat and said, "There is a member of the town who is celebrating his birthday today. He ordered five pigs with his uncle's house. He is busy there."

Gui Qiu pursed her lips and didn't say anything. The pig-killing work was done by a strong laborer. Geng's uncle and grandma were in their sixties and still had to work? Even if the Geng's family was busy, it was not that there was still the female relative Gui, who was there.

All are excuses.

Guichun brought pork and pork liver to the kitchen. Because the twelve dishes are not short, there is no need to add anything. However, in summer, the pork liver is prone to deterioration, so she rolled it with salt and hung it into the well.

Yang sighed and sent Gui Qiu to say, "Go and tell you my breasts and ask if you can put the mat."

Gui Qiu responded and went out.

Seeing Zhou Dingxiang there, Gui Chun looked a little restrained. She drank a bowl of cold water, looked at Mei Duo and went out.

Gui Chongyang also went out with Gui Chun and saw a silly young man coming towards him. He was the one who opened the door for Zhong Xiaoli before. He was only thirteen years old and was no one else. He was Yang's nephew and the cousin of the Gui Chun brothers.

The Yang family also lost two people during the "Nine Dings" period. They were Yang's father and brother. The Guiyang family did not have only the second wife, but also the daughter of the Yang family. The Guiyang family, who died of illness, was also the Yang family's daughter, and Yang's aunt.

It is no wonder that the Yang family was kind after the accident. At that time, only the disabled Grandpa Gui Er was left in the adult male of the Gui family. Both houses were women and children. There were both old aunts and grandmas of the Yang family and younger aunts of the Yang family. The younger Guichun brothers were the nephew of the Yang family. The Yang family was Yang Jinzhu, the eldest brother of the Yang family. They were the most generous person. Not only did they not alienate the Gui family, but they tried their best to help the places they could. They would rather be excluded by the villagers and still walked with "Xigui".

Yang Wu in front of him is Yang Jinzhu's youngest son, three years younger than Gui Qiu and one year older than Gui Chongyang. This year, thirteen.

"Big cousin, are you here?" Yang Wudao.

"It should be almost done, wait a little longer." Gui Chun said.

Gui Chongyang had a great affection for the generous Yang family. He took out a few red dates that Zhou Dingxiang had just grabbed him and handed them to Yang Wu: "My cousin eats dates."

Yang Wu looked at the red date and swallowed his saliva, but did not push it away. He smiled and reached out to take it, but only took one: "I'll try it, my cousin and my cousin will also eat it."

Gui Chongyang nodded, stuffed a date into Gui Chun's mouth, and ate one himself.

Gui Qiu picked out the curtain from the main room and said, "My mother asked for food. My brother and Wu Zi gave the two tables in the east room, and I gave the table in the west room."

The east room is a male guest, and the west room is a female guest.

As for Gui Chongyang, he did not arrange a meal service for him. It was not because he was too young to be weak, but because he had to avoid taboos when dressed in filial piety.

Although it is the seat for the rest of the house, it is also a red seat. Not only do those who are filial to be avoided like Chongyang, but those who are widowed like Yang and Mei like nominally widowed.

Gui Chun and Yang Wu agreed and turned back to the kitchen.

The tray on the table was borrowed early, and four dishes or bowls could be placed on it at a time. In this way, the dishes on one table will work together three times.

The three young men were quick-witted and served food one by one.

Gui Chongyang was not idle either. He set up a table in Yang's east wing with Mei Duo. Because it was used by his family, he did not leave the last two main dishes.

When Guichun and the others arrived for the last trip, the second grandma Gui followed and invited Zhou Dingxiang to the main room for a meal.

Zhou Dingxiang is a foreign visitor and it is the first time she comes to the door, so it is naturally not easy to be slow.

Zhou Dingxiang said straightforwardly: "Grandma, I'm shy and afraid of being a child. I want to stay here and eat with Sister Mei."

Gui Qiu happened to hear it from the side and rolled her eyes.

With such a loud voice, he came in and "scattered the guests" and took the stove in the kitchen, and the person who asked everyone to help her was embarrassed to say that he was "shy and afraid of life"?

However, Grandma Gui felt that the little girl was right. A teenage girl was shy and didn't like to meet outsiders, so she told Yang: "Let Zhou Yatou be tired of it, and stew a bowl of sugar water for the girl."

Yang nodded and said, "I stewed the red date soup, and it's in the well."

Grandma Gui nodded, said something to Mei before turning around and going with the guest.

Everyone in the kitchen went to the east wing, and Gui Qiu and Yang Wu came here as soon as they sat down. Gui Chun was not here, so she must have been left on the table to accompany the guests.

Yang took a small bowl and brought it to Yang Wu: "Boy Wu is tired, eat it quickly."

In the small bowl is a fragrant chicken leg.

Yang Wu looked at the chicken legs and swallowed his saliva, but he still held back and pushed it to Gui Chongyang: "Cousin is young, let me eat this for me."

Gui Chongyang pushed it back and did not say anything about vegetarianism. He pointed to the fried rapeseed in front of him and said, "I have a bad stomach these days and can't eat oil."

Yang Wu looked at the elders and saw that no one was talking, so he believed it. He looked at the chicken legs in the bowl and smiled happily.
