Chapter 142 Fighting for meat
Lian Man'er came to her senses and heard Wang Youheng say this, telling her if she encounters any problems in reading and writing in the future, and she can ask him for advice on txt download. But Wang Youheng was too polite. They could recognize a few big words and could compete with Wang Youheng. Lian Man'er couldn't help but smile with her lips.
...
Manager Wu and Wu Yugui also arrived one after another. Lian Man'er led Manager Wu to her workshop first to take a look.
Although the Lian family's workshop looks a bit simple, it is well-tied inside. Even when we treat you today, the wives hired in the workshop are still busy as usual. When the shopkeeper Wu saw that the wives who work are clean and neat, they are surrounded by aprons, a veil on his head, and a mask on his face. After listening to Lian Man'er's explanation, he said that this would ensure that the pickled sauerkraut was cleaner. The shopkeeper Wu nodded in satisfaction.
Then, a table was set up in the west wing room, and Lian Man'er prepared all the pens, inks and inkstones. Mr. Lian wrote a simple contract. The contract determined that the restaurant under Wu Zhonglian's name was, and the restaurant purchased sauerkraut from the Lianjia's sauerkraut workshop, with a number of quantity and price, and stated that the money paid by the shopkeeper Wu in advance, as the turnover cost of the Lianjia's sauerkraut workshop will be gradually deducted every time the payment is made.
Even the old man wrote the contract and showed it to everyone, but no one had any objections. The shopkeeper Wu represented Wu Zhonglian, Lian Shuxin represented Lian’s sauerkraut workshop, and Wang Youheng and Wu Yugui also signed and stamped the contract as witnesses.
The contract was in duplicate, one for Manager Wu and one for Lian Shouxin. After Lian Shouxin accepted this from the Lian family, he handed it over to Lian Man'er for safekeeping.
Removed all the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and then set them on the dining table. Lian Shouxin accompanied him and invited Mr. Lian, Wang Youheng, shopkeeper Wu and Wu Yugui to the table. Zhang brought Lian Zhier and Lian Man'er to bring the prepared dishes like flowing water.
Today's banquet was very rich. First, there were four cold dishes: fried peanuts, spicy cold skin, mixed with three shreds, green onion and tofu. Then there were hot dishes: rotten elbows with large plates of sauce, sweet and sour carp, chicken stewed mushrooms, potato braised pork, egg scrambled beans, pork slices stir-fried beans, pickled cabbage white meat, and Zhang's specialty dishes made of sweet liver tips. Because there were scrambled white meat and chicken stewed mushrooms, there was no other soup.
Although these dishes are not as novel as those in restaurants, they are all real. Not to mention in rural families, even in rich families in the city, they can be considered a top-notch restaurant.
As for the staple food, Zhang steamed rice. Lian Man'er made the decision and made several other snacks: dried eggplant soup dumplings, pumpkin cakes, jasper dumplings, and scallion cakes. Among them, jasper dumplings are made of cabbage meat. The reason why it is called jasper dumplings is because the dough of the dumplings is rolled with spinach water and noodles.
The mother and daughter were both skillful and skillful. They used all their energy to do this meal. Every dish and snack can be said to be full of color, fragrance and taste. Even the shopkeeper Wu, who is doing restaurant business, praised it endlessly.
People in rural areas treat guests to dinner, but under normal circumstances, women and children cannot serve the table. Therefore, Zhang only arranged to add rice, vegetables and wine underground.
During a meal, several men talked and laughed, and talked very well. They ate while drinking. After half an hour, even the old man, shopkeeper Wu and Wu Yugui had some alcohol. Then they used up.
After dinner, the Zhang family and his daughter were busy preparing hot tea. The fruit was brought up and let the few people sober up. The few people chatted and laughed for a while, and Wang Youheng stood up and said goodbye first. Manager Wu and Wu Yugui also stood up.
Lian Man'er followed Zhang Shi and Lian Shouxin to send the three people out. Manager Wu and Wu Yugui were in the same carriage, and Wang Youheng rode his own carriage.
Wang Youheng waved to Lian Man'er in the carriage.
Lian Man'er thought about his considerateness and walked over and wanted to say a few more words of thanks.
"Stop sending it, go back to have a meal." Wang Youheng said softly, and blinked at Lian Man'er.
"Well." Lian Man'er seemed to have some understanding.
Wang Youheng smiled and asked the coachman to drive the carriage away.
When they returned to the house, Lian Man'er and others cleaned up again. Zhang made the meal hot, and then the mother and daughter set up another table and started eating.
Lian Shouxin sat beside him and watched with a smile. He also drank some wine with Mr. Lian and others, and his cheekbones were red.
"Dad just praised you and said that this meal was decent." Lian Shouxin smiled and smiled as he watched Zhang and several children having dinner.
"I have two capable daughters." Zhang said with a smile on his face, holding a piece of elbow meat into Lian Man'er's bowl, "Man'er, eat more meat."
"Mom, I'll do it myself, you can eat more," Lian Man'er said.
Zhang specially picked a whole piece of lean meat for her, Lian Man'er looked at it and asked not to.
"Mom, I'm for this piece to my sister. My sister loves to eat lean meat. I'm eating a fat piece." Lian Man'er said, and grabbed a piece of elbow skin by herself.
"Mom, give it to me." Lian Zhier picked up the lean meat, "Man'er's mouth is getting more and more clever."
Lian Man'er laughed, "The elbow skin is more delicious."
The family was laughing and heard the sound of the door curtain. Lian Man'er raised her head and saw that He was carrying the door curtain from outside, pulling Liu Lang in his hand.
"Aunt Four, I'll borrow a needle from you." He said loudly, entered the door, and deliberately stunned, "Oh, where are you eating?"
As He said this, he had already pulled Liulang to the dining table.
Several children stopped talking, lowered their heads to stew the rice and eat, and exchanged glances with each other secretly. Recently, He developed a habit of coming to Zhang to borrow things. A needle and a thread. Once, he even said that the broom in the house could not be found and he wanted to borrow their broom for use.
Every time He borrowed something, he would pick it when they were having dinner. Several times in a row, even Man'er and others understood that it was fake for He to borrow something to find out what they were eating and take the opportunity to take advantage of it.
"Oh, there are elbows, braised pork..." He's head stretched over, his eyes almost stuck to the dish plate on the table, "Your life is so good, we don't know how many days we haven't smelled meat."
He said, secretly pinching Liulang.
Liulang was short and could not see anything on the dining table. But he also smelled the fragrance of meat.
"Mom, I'm hungry." Liulang said with a saliva.
"Why are you hungry? What's the use of telling me? Tell me to your fourth aunt." As He spoke, he carried Liulang to the kang and put it on the kang table. "Not to say, I'm hungry too."
He just waited for Zhang's words and wanted to take Liulang to the table for dinner. Or as long as Zhang did not object, He could be shameless and assuming it was acquiescent.
At this time, even Man'er felt that the fish in her mouth seemed to have no taste. In the words of the country people, He was thick-skinned and too unidentified, but Lian Shuxin and Zhang were face-loving people. She knew that with Lian Shuxin and Zhang's personality, he would never say anything to chase He, and it was very likely that he would let He and Liulang eat it when he became weak.
This is something Lian Man'er is unwilling to agree.
Today's food is a little more abundant, but these are earned by their family's hard work. And are they rich? They don't eat such food often. As an adult, He is lazy and has a good relationship with them. But he comes to her house to eat and drink freely. What's the point?
But there is Liulang and Liulang is still a child. He just saw that Zhang and Lian Shouxin could be rude to her, but he couldn't bear to Liulang.
But Xiaoqi is also a child, and she is younger than Liulang. When Xiaoqi is sweating profusely, what is Liulang doing when he is burning shredded cabbage under the stove? When Xiaoqi is shouting and selling vegetables at the market, what is Liulang doing?
At the dinner table, Xiaoqi was secretly glaring at Liulang.
"Mom, I want to eat meat." Liulang shouted at the plate of braised pork on the table. Although He was next to him, Liulang was still a little afraid of Lian Man'er and did not dare to reach out to grab the meat and eat it.
"Oh, I have to ask if your fourth aunt will give you food?" He looked at the food on the table, swallowed, and then looked at Zhang with a shy smile, "Auntie, look at Zhier and Man'er so delicious, making Liulang greedy..."
He should have blushed, but in fact, He looked as usual, but Zhang's face turned red.
"Then, that..." Zhang hesitated and didn't know what to say.
Lian Man'er glanced at Zhang and knew that she was soft-hearted and thin-faced, so she couldn't resist He's anymore.
"Mom, haven't we prepared meat and vegetables for the second uncle and Liulang?" Lian Man'er said hurriedly.
"Ah, yes." Zhang met when he saw Lian Man'er nodding at her.
Before they had dinner, Zhang picked out some of the dishes, put them in a bowl, and prepared to deliver them to the room, not specifically for He and Liulang.
"Mom, then take it out quickly." Lian Man'er smiled, "Second uncle, there are all the bad things left on this table. Pick out the good ones first and keep them for you."
Zhang hurriedly went to the floor and brought out a large bowl of hot meat and vegetables from the pot. Even Man'er came down from the dining table and pulled Liulang with one hand.
"Liulang, go and eat meat." Lian Man'er said, signaling Zhang to go to the room.
Zhang took the bowl and walked in front. Lian Man'er pulled Liu Lang and followed closely. Liu Lang had only a bowl of meat and vegetables in his eyes. He obediently asked Lian Man'er to pull it. He looked left and right. She couldn't bear to leave the dishes on the table, but Xiao Qi had even winked and had already protected several bowls of meat and vegetables in front of him.
"Don't joke about the second uncle. Xiaoqi is younger than Liulang. He will protect food. My father will beat him later." Wulang showed a helpless smile at He.
Seeing that he could not get any advantage here, He hurriedly turned around and followed Lian Man'er and Liu Lang.
Several people arrived at the room, and Zhou was asking Zhao to put the table and planned to have a meal.
"Mom, today my family treats you, I picked a few edible things for you to try for you to my mother and everyone." Zhang put the bowl of meat and vegetables on the dining table.
Lian Man'er pulled Liu Lang's arm, helped him climb up the kang, secretly pointed to the bowl of meat, and came out of the upper room with Zhang. Zhang has never been a stingy person, and the bowl of meat and vegetables is very real. Lian Man'er believes that if he was in a place, no one else in the family could make better than them.
"You are so greedy. Before you even eat, you grab your hands and chop your hands!" Lian Man'er walked into the yard and heard Lian Xiu'er's angry curse coming from the house, followed by Liu Lang's crying.
