Chapter 111: Inviting People to Dinner 2

Her family brought a lot of wild vegetables.

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Lan Qiuhua picked up the kitchen knife with a smile and helped cut the meat.

She cut the meat very thinly, almost transparent.

Ji Wenhe said, "Aunt Lan, cut the meat a little thicker. It's too thin."

"Is this... thin?" This is how they cut meat at home. Cut it thinly so that you can eat more with your chopsticks.

"A little bit, a little thicker."

"to make."

She agreed verbally, but it didn't look much thicker.

He opened his mouth, but took back the words that were about to come out of his mouth.

Forget it, she doesn’t eat fatty meat anyway, so if the meat is cut thinly, they can still eat a few more pieces.

After a while, someone came into the yard.

Zhu Danian stood at the kitchen door, nodded to Lan Qiuhua and Shen Suya, and said with a smile: "Wen He, your uncle Danian is here to eat."

"Uncle Da Nian is here." Ji Wenhe was kneading dough. "Please go sit in the yard. The kitchen is too small. Please don't come in."

At this time, the village head and Shen Liang also came.

After greeting everyone one by one, Shen Liang walked into the kitchen: "Aunt Lan, sister-in-law, Xiaoya, do you need my help?"

Lan Qiuhua waved her hand and said, "No, go out and talk to them. This place is small and there is no room for so many people. Go quickly."

Ji Wenhe smiled and replied: "No need to help, go find Brother Shen, he will grill the fish in a while."

"Well, I'll go then."

There are so many dishes today, she doesn't want them to cook them all into soupy dishes, wasting good ingredients.

"By the way, has our Anguo arrived?"

Lan Qiuhua looked around the yard and saw him lighting a fire outside the yard and shouted.

"An Guo, go home and bring the table and the small stool. Where's your father?"

"Dad is in the back."

"Then you go back with him and move it."

Zhao Anguo agreed: "I understand, mother."

The village head, Zhu Danian, was sitting in the yard chatting.

"Oh, the Rongshan family is getting better and better. As their uncle, I am happy for them."

"Yes, Rongshan is willing to endure hardships and work hard, and Wenhe is also a capable person. Life will definitely get better."

He said turning his head.

"Village head, I regard Rongshan as my own son. If he and Wenhe encounter any problems in the future, please help them."

If I hunt any prey next time, I will give two to his family.

Shen Zhong nodded repeatedly and said with a smile: "You don't need to tell me that. I'm his uncle. I watched him grow up, so I will help him."

Ji Wenhe heard it in the house and felt warm in his heart.

Zhu Danian treated Shen Rongshan unconditionally and treated him as his own son.

The twins went to the wasteland to catch chickens.

As soon as Shen Anguo left, Shen Rongshan and Shen Liang squatted by the fire.

"Rongshan, I'm so happy to see you get married."

"Brother Liang, don't worry, maybe your destiny hasn't arrived yet."

He is not a comforting man.

"I'm not in a hurry. I'll find it if I can. If I can't find it, I'll just live alone."

Besides, considering his family's situation, marrying someone else's girl would bring disaster to the family.

Shen Rongshan turned the fish over and continued grilling it: "Are you going to the town to find a job in a couple of days?"

Shen Liang nodded: "Yes, go with An Guo and Uncle Shen."

"If you have difficulties at home, come and tell me, don't suffer alone."

When they were young, the three of them had a very good relationship and were always eager to help each other when someone had problems.

"got it."

His own family is in financial difficulty, so how can I ask him for help?

But with his kindness, Shen Liang is already content.

inside the house.

Shen Suya stood by the stove: "Sister-in-law, you are really willing to add oil."

"Is this still a lot?" Just a small piece, a very small piece, she didn't dare put more.

"Yeah, a lot. Every time my mother cooks, she just dips her chopsticks in the oil."

Ji Wenhe smiled and said, "It's OK for making soup, but not for cooking. It won't taste good without oil."

"Oh, Xiaoya, go get two eggs from inside. We'll use them to make soup later."

I bought twenty-five eggs today and spent seventy-five cents.

There was also a jar of wine, half a pound, from a house Shen Rongshan knew well.

Because there was no jug to hold the wine, I bought the jar as well and the boss gave me a discount, a total of thirty cents.

After drinking the wine, the jar is used to hold oil.

Nowadays, the jars used to store oil at home are made of clay pots.

Speaking of storing oil, she remembered that the jar could be used to marinate meat. Next time, she would buy some meat and marinate it. When she wanted to eat it, she could cut some and cook it with other dishes.

The aroma of food drifted into the yard, and people outside couldn't help but sniff.

Shen Zhong stood up and said, "Wen He's cooking skills seem to be pretty good. Just by smelling the food, I know it won't be bad."

"That's right." Zhu Danian praised, "I think he's no worse than a chef."

He had eaten it before and knew her cooking skills.

Ji Wenhe covered the pot, walked out, and said with a smile: "Uncle Da Nian, please stop praising me. I will feel embarrassed if you continue to praise me."

He turned to Shen Rongshan and the others and said, "Brother Shen, it's time to eat. Take the table out and eat in the yard."

There's not enough room for so many people in the house.

"Okay." Shen Rongshan patted Shen Wenshan on the shoulder, "Go and get the wine."

He went inside to move the table, and others came in to serve the dishes.

The two tables are not big, and they can be squeezed together.

There were twelve dishes in total, including stir-fried wild vegetables, braised meat, three fishes and soup.

Half a pound of wine is not much, so each person poured some and then shared it.

Shen Zhong and Zhu Danian looked at each other and spoke with a smile.

"Eat, don't wait."

After that, the two of them started eating, and then the others followed suit.

At the dinner table, Ji Wenhe and the other two did not drink any alcohol, but just drank some soup.

Lan Qiuhua asked her to cook more, and there was half a pot left. Even if she couldn't eat enough today, she would at least have enough to drink.

Shen Zhong ate a piece of bamboo shoots and pork, and couldn't help but praise: "Well, Rongshan's wife's cooking skills are really good. In the future, when there is something wrong in the village, let everyone ask you to cook."

"Don't worry, I will definitely give you the money so that you don't work in vain. If I had known earlier, Liuyun would have found you for the marriage."

Ji Wenhe smiled awkwardly: "Li Zheng, my cooking skills are no match for a chef, as long as it suits your taste."

He waved his hand and said, "Uncle is telling the truth. If there is anything in the village in the future, please ask you to go."

"As long as they don't think my skills are bad, I will definitely help."

She gently kicked the foot of the person next to her under the table, and Shen Rongshan immediately understood and changed the subject.

"Uncle, try the grilled fish. It may suit your taste."

Zhu Danian took a sip of wine and said, "Rongshan fish is grilled well, better than mine."

Shen Suya agreed: "Yeah, fish is always delicious."

"It's delicious. Eat more."

"Don't worry, sister-in-law. I will definitely eat my fill and go back."

After hearing this, everyone looked at her with a smile.

Shen Yuanshan took over the conversation and jokingly said, "There is soup in the pot. Even if you are not full, you should drink enough."

"Anyway, I can't go back hungry." Shen Erniu picked up the bowl and clinked glasses with Shen Zhong.

The drinkers ate and chatted.

Those who don’t drink can say a word if they can, otherwise just concentrate on eating.

For example, the three of them listened quietly and concentrated on eating.
