Chapter 61 Sky-high dinner, Grandma Lin shows off her skills

More than fifty copper coins clattered onto the table.

To the poor people at that time, this sound was undoubtedly the sound of nature.

"..." Grandma Lin's family stared blankly at the copper plate on the table, and some people rubbed their eyes, obviously not believing that this was true.

Grandma Lin was still a steady old ginger. She counted about a dozen copper coins on the table and then put the rest back.

"A dinner doesn't cost so much." As he said this, he returned the remaining copper coins to Sangua.

Sangua looked embarrassed: "But, mother said, this is necessary."

"Grandma Lin, you have helped me and my brothers a lot in the past, so don't be polite." With that, she put the money bag back into Grandma Lin's hand.

At a young age, I already understand this kind of human nature.

Grandma Lin hesitated for a moment. They were real farmers, and she felt uncomfortable accepting so many copper coins at once.

But the child in front of her was so sensible and what she said was so reasonable. If she persisted, it would hurt her feelings.

Forget it, just take care of these children more in the future.

Grandma Lin readily accepted the coins and began to greet several daughters-in-law to bring out the better things at home.

Try to make this dinner worthy of fifty copper coins.

That's how she is. She can't take advantage of others, otherwise she will feel uncomfortable and won't be able to sleep at night.

Let’s not mention it for the moment. After Sangua came out of Grandma Lin’s house, he couldn’t wait to devote himself to the family’s business.

At this time, Ding Xiang and others had finished making 500 donkey rolls and 500 fortune cakes, and there were still 500 donkey rolls left.

When Sangua came back, Dingxiang had just finished her work.

At this time, everyone seemed a little tired, so Ding Xiang asked them to take a rest first, wait until dinner was delivered, and then start working again after dinner.

It took almost two hours to make two kinds of pastries, but now there are only five hundred donkeys left to roll around. When the two steamers come together, it will only take one hour.

When Jiao Niang heard that she was going to have dinner later, she realized later that it was already so late.

She is here to make money, so how can she be embarrassed to let others cover her meals?

So she suggested to Ding Xiang that she should go home first and come over after dinner to continue working.

"How is this possible? You are here to help me work. How can I have the nerve to let you go home hungry and eat together?" Ding Xiang hurriedly took the girl's hand. This child was too honest.

"No, no, no, the salary my aunt gave me was already a lot, how could I have the nerve to come and help with the meal?"

"What are you talking about? How can you call this a meal? The work is not finished yet. If it is finished, I won't let you eat."

Seeing that Ding Xiang was resolute, Jiao Niang happily stayed.

The meal was quickly prepared for seven people, with a total of seven dishes and one soup.

For these seven dishes and one soup, Grandma Lin’s family tried their best.

I took out all the bacon that I was reluctant to eat during the New Year, and fried several eggs in a row. The multigrain porridge was also thick, the corn pancakes were enough, and several other side dishes were also fried until they were very oily.

This level is usually only taken out during the Chinese New Year.

When the little kids from Grandma Lin's house saw her, they were all lying on the stove and drooling.

But he was very sensible and did not clamor for meat.

Grandma Lin also felt sorry for her little grandchildren, so she made another large bowl of egg custard for her little grandchildren to eat.

Egg custard is also a rare bonus in daily life, and this coke spoiled a few kids.

When Ding Xiang saw these meals, she felt a little helpless. Are all the people here so honest?

She saw that this table of food could not be exchanged for more than fifty cents.

So she said jokingly: "Ms. Lin, this meal is too rich. You will suffer a big loss."

"They are all grown at home. They are not worth much. Your fifty copper coins are too much. It's really embarrassing for me."

Wang and Jiao Niang, who were eating, were shocked when they heard that the meal cost fifty copper coins.

This, this is too wasteful.

Except for Lin Zhenzhu, whose mouth was full of oil after eating, everyone else looked worried.

All in all, this meal was a bit stressful for them.

Ms. Wang endured it for a long time, but finally couldn't hold it back any longer and said, "Second brother and sister, it's just a dinner, so there's no need to make it so sumptuous."

Fifty coppers, her man went to town to carry a big bag for a day, and he only got forty coppers.

In just one meal, they ate up her man's wages for carrying a large bag for a day. This was really too extravagant.

"Sister-in-law, I understand."

Ding Xiang nodded. In fact, when Grandma Lin brought the dishes in, she had already thought of this.

Fifty cents was nothing to her, but in front of farmers, it was a big deal.

In fact, her starting point was good, she just wanted to get something good to comfort her sister-in-law and daughter-in-law who helped her.
