Shen Ying left Su Tai's house and went to Liujiazhuang without stopping. On the same day, she purchased forty acres of wasteland next to the Wei family's land and even said hello to Wei Laoqi.
Everyone in the Wei family knew that Shen Ying had just recovered his abducted little daughter. They heard that this was what he had prepared for his future son-in-law, and they all said they would help take care of her.
Shen Ying asked about Ringo's situation.
Wei Laoqi suddenly started chatting, "I said that Shen Yi's wife is really amazing. Last year, the Linju tree was nothing special. This year, it feels a little different. It has a tendency to bloom, but the weather is not good. I don’t know if it will bear fruit or what it will produce. Fortunately, we still have strawberries and watermelons, so we are not afraid of losing money, but other people in the village are different.
The food crop is not doing well this year. If Ringo doesn’t get results, everyone will cry to death!”
Shen Ying felt confident, so she told the villagers about the situation when she returned.
The day has come for the running water banquet.
Most of the villagers in the village came to help.
Su Tai even provided two hundred fresh big fish, which excited the villagers who had not eaten fish for a long time.
They all asked her where she got the fish.
Su Tai opened her eyes and told lies, "I asked someone to help me get it. How can I be so capable!"
Several oxcarts go to and from Su Tai's house every day, and no one doubted her.
In order to let everyone have a good meal, she also provided a large pot of oil to fry the big fish, and then mixed it with sweet and sour sauce to thicken it, so that the villagers could taste what sweet and sour fish is.
Everyone in the village knew that Su Tai was good at cooking, and they all looked forward to it when they heard that she was going to cook fish.
Ms. Xu led her two daughters-in-law to roll up their sleeves and cut pork.
This pig was slaughtered by their family, so it was perfect for them to handle it.
The men gathered together to kill sheep, cut meat, and chop wood to light the fire.
Chunqin and the others had never experienced such a reassuring and lively atmosphere, and they all looked around curiously.
When Su Tai started frying fish, the strong fragrance spread, and a bunch of people gathered around and stared at Su Tai's work.
Even Ke Yunyun, who was helping Su Tai take care of the children, couldn't help coming over to join in the fun.
The children were drooling as they watched.
Su Tai looked at them amusedly, fished out a ladle of lively prawns from another bucket, put them into another pot and blanched them until they were almost cooked, then fished them out.
Packed in a large wooden basin.
"Yue Zhang, bring your other brothers and sisters over here to help. Carry this pot of shrimps to the side and eat it. Don't run around here and get in the way."
When the villagers heard this, I wish I could sit at the same table with my children and try it out.
Fortunately, everyone is so shameless that they can't compete with the children for food.
While working, Su Tai glanced at Shen Yuezhang and the others and saw a dozen children gathered around a table, eating shrimp non-stop. They were so well-behaved that she couldn't help but laugh along with them.
Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Shen Xi, who was hugged tightly by Mrs. Zhang not far away and was so greedy that she was drooling. She paused and scooped out some more shrimps to cook.
When it is almost cooked, serve it out and ask Shen Tian on the side to bring it to Granny Zhang, grandma and grandson.
Mr. Zhang was flattered. She looked at Shen Tian and then at Su Tai, and quickly stood up with the child in her arms, "I can't help it, I can't help it."
Su Tai smiled, "There's nothing wrong with it. These shrimps are extra and specially prepared for the children."
The people nearby advised Mrs. Zhang to peel the shrimps for the children to eat.
Seeing that the child was so greedy, Mrs. Zhang could only accept Su Tai's kindness with a blushing face.
After a while, the fish were all fried, and Su Tai immediately turned on the heat to make the sweet and sour sauce.
Everyone's eyes widened when they saw her putting a lot of snow-white sugar into the pot. When the sweet and sour sauce was poured on, everyone immediately spread out and sat down, eagerly waiting for the food to be served. The same goes for Chun Qin and others.
The first dish was the braised pork cooked by Xu's family. It was a full bowl and a generous portion. It was rolled in a pancake and it was so delicious.
The second dish was the sweet and sour fish made with Su Tai. The sweet and sour taste shocked everyone's barren taste buds and opened up a new world of food for them.
Everyone gave a thumbs up while eating.
The third course is fried meat with vegetables.
The first two dishes are big fish and meat, and it's just right to eat some vegetables to relieve your tiredness.
The fourth course is the big meat buns, one is as big as a man’s fist, with thin skin and big filling. When you take a bite, juices will splash everywhere.
It was really an eye-opener for Chunqin and the others.
The fifth course is braised mutton, which Chunqin and the others have never eaten before. The villagers knew their situation and enthusiastically filled a bowl of mutton for them and urged them to eat quickly.
Several people were so moved that their eyes turned red.
The sixth course is soup. There are some radishes and sliced meat in the mutton soup. After drinking a bowl, your whole body will be warmed up.
The seventh course is milk tea. After eating so much salty food, it’s just right to have a bowl of something sweet to soothe your throat.
The last dish is the cake dessert prepared by Su Tai.
Having such a table full of flowing water not only satiated everyone, but also gave Chunqin and the others some insights.
If they were not optimistic about Dongfeng staying and farming before, now they began to envy Dongfeng. Living in such a wealthy village was better than wandering around.
Early the next morning, Chunqin and others bid farewell to Chunxiang and Dongfeng.
Shen Ying asked someone to send them off in an ox cart, and thoughtfully gave them fifty taels.
Chunqin was shocked and quickly refused.
Shen Ying said: "You are all children, it is not easy. Fifty taels of silver is a little bit of our thoughts. Save some money and live your life first."
Chunqin was moved and silently shed a tear, "Uncle, no one has been so kind to us since we were young. If you need to find a troupe in the future, just go to me in the county. We will be there when you call."
< br>
"It's easy to talk!"
The sky turned white, and Chunqin and his party followed the ox cart and left.
After the noisy opera troupe incident, everyone came back to their senses and found that it was already autumn.
The autumn harvest is almost here, and everyone is focusing on the fields again.
At the same time, the fighting on the border became more intense.
The team led by Zhu Yixuan failed twice in a row and lost many people, which put great pressure on him.
On Shen Yi's side, without the restraints of people like Su Chunlin, he became more and more skillful. He performed very well in the two battles and had a faint tendency to come out on top.
Zhu Yixuan felt very aggrieved and secretly regarded Shen Yi as his opponent.
Seeing that Zhu Yixuan was in a bad mood, Bai Feng also cursed, "It's really hateful to let Shen Yi steal the limelight again this time! If you ask me, you should have pursued the victory just now, as long as you killed that one before Shen Yi Dutong, you are the leader!"
"It's not because of you! If there was no trouble on your side, I wouldn't be distracted." Zhu Yixuan frowned.
Bai Feng immediately shrank his head guiltily and quibbled, "I've been following you all this time. It was those nasty enemy soldiers who came close to me that made me lose my balance. I didn't do it on purpose. Forget it, let's not talk about it." , I’m going to see how the others are doing.”
Bai Feng fled, and someone who surprised him came to battalion commander Zhu Yixuan. (End of this chapter)
