The growth of the eldest daughter-in-law of the farm gate

After the second year of junior high school, more and more people came to the county office to pay New Year's greetings. Some people had never seen it before.If there is no way, I still have to write them down one by one, otherwise I won’t know who it is when the time comes.

But this New Year's greeting made Li Mingren discover many hidden wealthy gentry, so thinking about it, this year's greetings are not bad.

After discussing with Zhao Yunlan, Li Mingren and Zhao Yunlan set the date for the banquet on the thirteenth year of the year.The invitations have been sent out, and they are all the guests who came to pay New Year's greetings during this time.

Seeing that the couple were discussing the arrangement of seats, Mrs. Wang asked, "Have you booked all the seats?"

Zhao Yunlan said: "Well, we ate at home that day and prepared the noodles. We plan to have a whole lamb hot pot banquet, and add two roasted whole lambs. The pot is ready, and the dishes are also prepared."

……

The thirteenth year of the year is coming soon, and this time, thanks to the help of Mrs. Wang and the others, Zhao Yunlan and his wife are much more relaxed.

"Sure enough, it would be more comfortable if there were more people in the family." Zhao Yunlan couldn't help but sigh, "It's a big belly. I don't need to wear a dress this time. Fortunately, I have a mother, but it's hard to be a mother."

"I think my mother is still very happy, what did you say before?" Painful and happy. "" Li Mingren whispered in Zhao Yunlan's ear.

Zhao Yunlan also smiled and said, "Don't make up your mother."

"Okay, then I'll go see Raven and ask him to go to the lobby with me."

Zhao Yunlan nodded: "Go ahead, I'll go to the garden to sit with my mother after a while. It's really a good day for us to choose, the sky is clear and the sun is warm."

Li Mingren smiled: "The lady will choose her day."

After searching around the house, Li Mingren saw Ruiwen. "Why are your hands so dark, go wash them, we're going to see guests."

Ruiwen was grabbed by his father to wash his hands, and then he was carried to the men's guest room like a chicken.

"Today, treat the guests obediently, and you can play as you like during dinner. Your mother specially made a children's table for you. Then you will be the owner of the children's table, and you have the right to speak."

Rui Wen was taken aback by his father for a while, and when he thought of having a children's table, he felt happy for a while.But being suppressed by his father, he could only stand aside politely.

Zhao Yunlan saw that the time was almost up, so she got up and went to the ladies' guest room.

"The guests haven't arrived yet, you can rest for a while!" Seeing Zhao Yunlan approaching, Wang felt a little distressed.After all, I don't know how tired I am until I put on this dress.

Zhao Yunlan smiled: "I see that the time is almost up, mother, don't worry about me, I know my physical condition, and I won't force myself."

Mrs. Wang nodded reassuringly. Within a quarter of an hour after Zhao Yunlan took her seat, the guests came one after another.

After staying with Nanny Cui for a long time, Mrs. Wang has now cultivated the temperament of an old official lady. As soon as she sits in the main seat, her aura comes out. Although Mrs. Wang tried her best to make herself a kind and gentle old lady, But there are still some women who dare not look up at her.

"It's good for everyone to be casual. If you feel cold, tell the maids around you, and the maids will bring you cloaks for the ladies." Zhao Yunlan watched everyone sitting in their seats talking in a low voice, worried that everyone would not dare to speak out if they were cold, so she had no choice but to Bring it up.

But today is really not cold, the sun in winter always makes people feel warm.

The roasted whole lamb in the yard began to smell, and the aroma wafted in to arouse everyone's appetite.Seeing that the time was almost up, Zhao Yunlan ordered dinner.Mrs. Wang also took advantage of this gap to change into casual clothes.

When the small hot pot was served, some people were different, some were surprised, some were lost in thought, and everyone chatted about the hot pot.

"Zhao Ruren, isn't this the hot pot from the capital?" A woman said, this woman also came back from the capital a few years ago, so she knew about it.

Another woman also said: "Yes, I have eaten the hot pot of 'Lanlou' in Jinzhou before. Speaking of which, Zhao Ruren is from Jinzhou."

"Yeah, that hotpot in the capital seems to be called 'Lan Lou' too. Lan~" Isn't Zhao Ruren just Yun Lan, but the second half of the sentence didn't come out of her mouth, but the woman's volume has already increased in the first half , all eyes are on the woman.

Zhao Yunlan just smiled and didn't respond positively.

The woman was startled to realize that she was impolite, so she silently bowed to Zhao Yunlan, and everyone present understood what she could understand.

Zhao Yunlan's eyes signaled that it didn't matter, and she said: "Everyone, please take a seat. Eat and drink as you like. Today, I specially prepared a table for the children. Children under the age of seven can go to the small hall next to them to eat. There are no elders present. , everyone can play around as they like."

After Zhao Yunlan had spoken, the wives of each family could no longer restrain the children, which made the children very happy.Hey, he ran to the side.

Zhao Yunlan continued: "Everyone, don't worry, we have a special person to take care of it, so the children will not be hurt."

With Zhao Yunlan's words, the wives sat down with peace of mind.Those who have eaten hot pot know the charm of this hot pot, but those who have not tried it are novelty. Just smelling the smell and watching the gurgles open makes people very appetizing.

"This is pepper. I think everyone has already eaten it. If you can eat spicy food, you can try it once. If you can't eat spicy food, you can wash it in a pot. Feel free to eat hot pot, don't salute!" Zhao Yunlan raised He raised his wine glass and offered a toast to everyone.

Everyone raised their wine glasses in return, and moved their chopsticks after taking a sip of wine.At first, the ladies and ladies were still restrained and wanted to maintain etiquette, but the hot pot was so delicious, and after realizing that they would not be able to eat it if they didn't add food early, everyone lost their etiquette scruples.

No one cared about the tinkling of the children playing, but after the dishes were cooked, Rui Wen flung the baskets into his mouth like a leader, and the other children followed suit.

The children's hot pot is clear soup, and there are not many dishes. The servants who take care of the children first serve the children with smooth and tender steamed eggs with simmered dumplings, making sure that everyone eats it, and then start to serve some of Ruiwen's usual favorites Braised pork trotters, braised chicken feet, fried chicken cutlets.

It seems that children’s favorite food is the same, Zhao Yunlan sent Chunxiang to look at the children’s nursery, and Chunxiang came back to report: “They are each holding a chicken paw and eating vigorously.”

Zhao Yunlan: "Today's chicken feet are marinated so soft and sticky?"

Chunxiang nodded, "It's soft."

The children and the female guests were peaceful, but the male guests were noisy. It should be because of the hot pot. Everyone couldn't help but drink a few more glasses. After the wine, there was a lot to talk about.Li Mingren has the self-consciousness of being the master, and he doesn't dare to drink too much, so he always takes care of everyone, and often says: "Come, eat vegetables, eat vegetables."

The roasted whole lamb outside was almost shaved, and someone was sent to the female guests to mobilize some roasted lamb.The combat power of the female guests was obviously not as good as that of the male guests, so Zhao Yunlan simply asked the cook to chop half of it and send it over.

This time the banquet was held perfectly, everyone was indulging in the food and didn't have time to gossip too much, Zhao Yunlan obviously felt that they didn't drink as much water this time as last time.
