The cook was very happy, "Really? Then I have to do a good job tomorrow, and I can't lose the master's face." When he touched his face, he only touched a hand of oil, and immediately decided that he would take a good wash tonight. wash.

Shen Qing immediately ordered Fan Xiaoshan, "Did you hear that? Prepare some more hot water for Master tonight, as well as some spices. The same goes for those who are helping the cooks. Don't neglect Masters."

"Yes, I remember it, and I will do it right away."

Coming out of the courtyard, Fan Xiaoshan asked curiously: "Girl, do you think the cook is too sloppy, that's why you say that?" He had never heard of the saying that the cook's appearance is important when hosting a wedding banquet.

Shen Qing gave him a blank look, "Didn't you see that the oil on his face is dripping? I don't know how many days he has not washed it. I can't even eat after looking at it."

Of course she was talking about herself. In ancient times, there were many poor people, and occasionally small landowners lived a better life, but they did not eat meat every day.

After finally looking forward to a feast, the Fan family prepared such a sumptuous meal. Who would bother to look at the cook? Besides, they might also be happy to see the grease on the cook's face, thinking that they are ready to eat!
Fan Xiaoshan smiled and said sincerely: "I am able to marry a daughter-in-law, and I owe it to you. If it weren't for the money you borrowed from us, my family wouldn't have been able to build this blue brick house in what year or month, and we would even have to hold banquets and betrothals." …”

"You and your family are all working under me, so this is not a loan, it is all an advance salary, and no one suffers any loss. Xiaoshan, we have known each other for almost a year, and we have experienced many things during this period. I also treat you as my eldest brother." , When you marry a wife in the future, you have to live a good life, especially be kind to bullies. Women in this world are not easy, and getting married is like being reincarnated again, so don’t treat others lightly."

Fan Xiaoshan stopped laughing. He lowered his head with a bit of a tear in his expression, "I know that as long as I marry a wife, my parents' wishes will be fulfilled. I can go to the border with you later."

"Ah?" Shen Qing was about to leave, but had to stop, "You want to go to the border with me? But you are just newly married!"

"A good man has his ambitions in all directions. I want to go out for a walk and broaden my horizons."

Shen Qing didn't say anything. Anyway, it didn't matter to her whether to follow or not. It all depended on whether Fan's family and his wife could agree.

The cabbage that has lost part of its moisture in the sun has to be cleaned overnight.

The lights in Shen's courtyard were brightly lit. Two of them were responsible for cutting the cabbage into quarters, and three of them sat in front of a large basin. They added salt to the cabbage, put it in the jar, and pressed it with stones.

A total of thirty large vats filled the yard next door.

Shen Qing instructed: "Everyone spread the tarpaulin to prevent water from entering. When conditions improve in the future, we must build a straw shed. Now we can only pray that it won't rain tonight."

Granny Shen said: "Your Aunt Fan specially asked someone to calculate the good days. Why is it raining? Don't worry!"

I really followed Grandma Shen's words, the starry sky was thousands of miles away that night, but the rainproof cloth still had to be covered, even if there was dew.

Early the next morning, Shen Qing opened every jar and looked at it.

Shen Hui was not at ease. While putting on her coat, she watched with her, "How's it going? Is there a lot of water coming out?"

"It's okay! I'm going to prepare ingredients, sister, please help me."

"it is good!"

All the ingredients were locked in the warehouse, and only Granny Shen and Mrs. Fan had the key. Shen Qing went back to the house to find the key and took it off Granny Shen's waistband.

The old man raised his head and looked at the sky outside. It was getting dark late, and it was just getting light outside.

"What are you two doing here?"

"Ingredients, grandma, go to sleep!"

"Oh, then I have to follow, this is our family's secret recipe." Granny Shen quickly got up, got dressed and got off the bed.

The grandfather and grandson entered the warehouse holding oil lamps.

Shen Qing found all the ingredients, Shen Hui was responsible for weighing them, and Granny Shen put the oil lamp away and found a big basin.Because there was so much material, she could only weigh it according to how much material it weighed per [-] kilograms.

After every hundred kilograms were prepared, Grandma Shen mixed them into a big basin, stirred them thoroughly, and then asked people from outside to come in and carry the basin away.

Seeing her mysterious look, Shen Qing couldn't help but laugh and said: "Next year, this ingredient recipe can be made public. Anyway, sooner or later someone will be able to imitate it, so there is no point in hiding it."

Granny Shen said: "It's only a day that can be hidden. If we really want to make it public, we have to tell your second aunt that we can't take advantage of outsiders."

Shen Qing was noncommittal. Anyway, she told Aunt Fan the recipe for making stinky tofu. Mrs. Fan was kind and said that she would make tofu at home and send it to her for free.

"Sister, where are the pears I asked people to buy?" Now is the season when autumn pears are ripe, so pears are not difficult to buy.

The chili powder is all ground at home, and the onions are bought by her second brother from the Ma family. There are not many seeds, but they are enough for her to make this batch of kimchi.

"They're all piled up there! Some of the ones I asked people to deliver are yellow, and some are still green pears, but they're all very sweet. I just didn't get the apples. I heard from Mr. Xu that you can only find them if you go south!"

"It's all right!"

Five large pots of food were carried out and placed in the courtyard.

Li Shengnan and the others also got up. When they saw their results last night and the piles of materials that were laid out in the courtyard, they were all amazed. There were so many!
It's almost like a small, oh no, large workshop.

Time waits for no one, and they will not forget their work just to attend the wedding banquet.

Shen Qing asked her sister to make glutinous rice paste last night. By the time it got to the morning, it had already cooled down and could be marinated with sauce.

"So people, hurry up and have breakfast. It's hard to work after eating. You must pickle all the kimchi today."

"Yes!"

Facts have proved that her decision was right.

Not long after breakfast, Zhao Jue sent someone to inform her that the trip had to be advanced because he had asked someone to check the weather recently and was afraid it would snow early. They had to get the goods before the heavy snow buried the road. Transported to.

After receiving the news, Shen Qing looked solemn, "Maodou, don't be busy with this. Send someone to find Huolin quickly. In addition, I will write a list and have a lot of things to prepare. By the way, I will find someone to order a tent." , I don’t know if it’s done yet, so you can urge me too.”

"Okay! I'll ride a horse." Maodou didn't dare to delay, washed his hands, took two buns, ate them while walking, ran to Su's house opposite, grabbed the horse and left.

Xu Lu, who had just gotten up, saw his hurried expression and asked him what he was going to do.

Maodou said a few casual words and then ran away on horseback.

"Are you going to the border again? It's already the end of October. Can you come back before the end of October?" Xu Lu murmured.

The Fan family not far away is also busy today with people coming and going.

Fan couldn't move away, so Fan Cuicui went back to help. Fan Dashan came over to see them and saw that they were busy making kimchi, so he asked someone to bring a lot of snacks.

After the team to pick up the bride left, the Fan family's mother and daughter put aside their own affairs and came to help.

"Auntie, just mind your own business! There aren't many of you two here."
