The farm has a phoenix

Chapter 234 Preparations for the Banquet

Chen Shaoyan's face froze, but he didn't speak. There were parents and old people in the family, and his grandfather served the emperor's family for generations. merit.

Seeing her hesitate, he took full advantage of his demeanor and smiled: "It's okay, it's the same in the capital."

Even though he said that, Chen Shaoyan could still feel the faint disappointment in Zhan Jinfeng's heart, he frowned slightly, just supported her like this, and walked slowly into the villa.

After all, Feng Er still wants to go back to the countryside.

He made up his mind, no matter what, he would fulfill this wish for Feng'er.

Seeing that the new year is approaching, Mianqi Villa is still busy. The fruits that have been warmed by the bracelet will not rot, so most of the fruits sold in the market are fresh fruits that have been warmed. Come and prepare for the upcoming New Year's Eve banquet.

On the 29th of the twelfth lunar month, Zhan Jinfeng and Chen Shaoyan finished counting all the fruits and were ready to go home. Chen Shaoyan first ordered someone to prepare the carriage. While Zhan Jinfeng was drinking tea in the house, Tan Sri brought a letter The letter is a letter from Bai Yunxiang to himself, saying that he will come back after the year to report on work, and hope to meet and have a good talk when the time comes.

Zhan Jinfeng frowned and was about to speak when he heard Chen Shaoyan urging at the door: "Feng'er, let's go, it's getting late, mother is going to be angry."

Zhan Jinfeng didn't think much about it, just handed the letter to Tan Sri and said: "You just tell me to go back, and we will talk about it when the time comes."

Tan Sri nodded repeatedly, picked up the letter, and sent Zhan Jinfeng all the way out the door.

Because the New Year's Eve was going to be spent in the palace, Chen's family took the lead in holding a small banquet to celebrate the New Year with the family in advance.

The banquet is not big, it is a family banquet after all, the family sits around a round table, surrounded by maidservants, a high stage is set up outside, where are the singers singing, even in the house can also hear.

Chen's mother looked very happy. She raised her wine glass first, and said with a smile: "This year, we have invited a theater troupe. I will sing like this all night while the festival is on hand. Don't bother you."

Hearing this, Chen Yingming picked up the wine glass with a smile, toasted to Chen's mother, and said with a smile: "Mother, no one would find it annoying on such a beautiful day, I'm afraid they will only say that it is not lively enough!"

Chen's mother laughed loudly when she heard the words, and everyone had a happy meal. Ye Laogui ate vegetables with his chopsticks. Mrs. Wang glared at Zhan Jinfeng, seemingly unintentionally said: "It's not lively enough, when I married into the house I became pregnant within a few months, and I don't have a child making noise around me during the Chinese New Year, so I really feel deserted."

What Zhan Jinfeng said until Wang Shi was aimed at herself, she just lowered her eyes and didn't argue with Wang Shi.

With so many elders present at the table, it was impossible for him to even speak.

Chen Yingming glared at his wife, and put a large piece of meat into her bowl: "The New Year's Eve dinner can't keep your mouth shut!"

Mrs. Wang curled her lips: "It's not like you have the New Year's Eve dinner with us. After so many years, I thought that after Shaoyan got married, at least there would be two more people in the family. This is great, getting married is like not getting married!"

Wang continued to chatter, Chen Shaoyan frowned slightly, glanced at Zhan Jinfeng, and saw that she was holding the chopsticks to pull the rice, but she had no intention of eating.

"Enough!" Ye Laogui, who had been silent all this time, slapped his chopsticks heavily on the dining table. The originally lively atmosphere instantly became very depressing, and there was silence all around, only the sound of singing on the stage in the yard, Yiyi babbling When it came in, it was very clear.

Everyone put down their bowls and chopsticks, and Chen Yingming didn't even dare to take a breath.

My father himself knows best, he usually looks indifferent, but once he gets angry, he is really angry, and Wang's father left home when he entered the house, so he doesn't know his father's temper.

He glanced at Wang Shi worriedly, and sure enough, he saw her expression of reluctance.

Ye Laogui didn't look at his daughter-in-law either, he just watched the luxurious food on the table quietly, and said in a deep voice: "The emperor entertains all the officials, three generations of our Chen family are single-handed, and it is a great blessing for us to be able to go to four Point, female family members are not allowed to enter the palace, if you are not convinced, then go to the emperor to see if he can also grant you a fifth, fourth, and third rank, so that you can also taste the taste of being with the king like a tiger! The old man said in front of him that he would ignore everyone's Gu Xiaojia's words, have you forgotten who is in charge here now? If you are not used to it, just move them all out for me!"

Ye Laogui almost roared and said these words, and Chen's mother naturally knew that she really understood anger, and she quickly comforted: "My wife is just complaining, how can it be so serious? Alright, Have a good reunion dinner, don't make it like this, go to the palace on the [-]th night to watch the new year, that is the blessing of our Chen family, look at other families, the old ones are either abdicated, or the young ones are still immature, and the only ones who can enter the palace to watch the new year Our family is complete, this is a great honor, a great honor!"

As she said that, she glanced at Mrs. Wang. This time she chose to be the peacemaker in the end, but she just wanted to give Mrs. Wang a warning. There are some things that you should know in your heart, and don't be so blatant.

When Wang heard this, her face stiffened and she lowered her head. Her father said so about herself in front of so many people, even her son and daughter-in-law, which made her unable to shake her face. She gritted her teeth resentfully, not daring to show any strangeness color.

Seeing this, Chen Yingming hurriedly smoothed things over: "Father, she is also in a hurry. She has no bad intentions. Let's eat. Father, don't get angry, so as not to hurt your body. Although our Chen family is a single-generation family, the family precepts have always required family Harmony and unity, the separation of the family, the father should not mention it again, the son will definitely be strict with himself and make progress."

Ye Laogui snorted coldly, and then picked up his chopsticks to eat again, and everyone picked up their chopsticks one after another when they saw this. From the beginning to the end, Chen Shaoyan and Zhan Jinfeng didn't say a word, because they didn't need to go What to say, two, Ye Laogui has already finished talking.

Zhan Jinfeng was very grateful in his heart. Sure enough, the husband still cared about him very much.

It was the New Year's Eve in a few days, Zhan Jinfeng woke up early, walked out after finishing packing, SEVEN walked in the yard early, and when she saw her coming out, she rushed over happily and walked around her side .

Zhan Jinfeng slapped Rou Rou's head and asked Nuan Yu to take it to the bath.

"SEVEN, I'm going to take you to the palace to attend the New Year's Eve banquet tonight, don't you mess around, you know? You just stay at home today and let Nuanyu clean it up for you. I'll come back to pick you up tonight."

SEVEN tilted his head ignorantly, stared at her with big eyes for a while, and then walked to Nuan Yu's side with his head drooping and his expression reluctant.

"Miss, it doesn't want to stay at home!"

Zhan Jinfeng smiled slightly: "Not today, today is an important day."

After saying that, Chen Shaoyan came out of the room yawning, walked to SEVEN's side, reached out and rubbed its head: "Be good at home."

Then he dragged Zhan Jinfeng and swaggered away.

There is so much preparation to do today.

She is going to take people to collect the peaches and apples. I have already told Tan Sri yesterday that the people who are ready to collect the fruits today.

The two hurriedly ate breakfast, and then drove past in the carriage.

Outside the Mianqi Villa, many people had already stood, Dayong stood at the front, but Tan Sri was not there.

Zhan Jinfeng and Chen Shaoyan got off the carriage, and Dayong came up to meet them.

"Miss, I brought all the people here. Tan Sri went to the cashier to submit the list, and he will count the money for them after picking."

Zhan Jinfeng nodded with you, and said without any delay: "Everyone, follow me."

She led the people and slowly approached Apple and Taozi's greenhouse.

These people have been working in Mianqi Villa, so they are no longer interested in the strange scenery in the greenhouse. They just quietly gathered under the peach tree, waiting for Zhan Jinfeng to speak.

"Everyone has seen it." Zhan Jinfeng glanced around and saw that everyone's attention was on him, and then continued: "These peaches are very big, but they are also very heavy, and the peach skin is very soft. A little force will break the peach skin, so picking these peaches requires everyone to use skill."

As she spoke, she took a three-foot-long basket from Dayong. Inside the basket was a layer of cotton, which could keep out wind and keep warm, and inside was a lot of silk satin, piled together.

These are the tools she asked for from Chunyuyue. The peaches are soft and cannot withstand the bumps of picking, so Chunyuyue gave her these things.

She took the basket and demonstrated the manipulation process to everyone.

She carefully covered the huge peach from directly under the peach, then took out a pair of sharp knives, stretched out her hand and quickly cut off the part where the bottom was connected to the branch, so that the peach would fall off effortlessly The very soft bottom of the basket was paved, and then Zhan Jinfeng sealed the seal and put the basket in a corner on one side.

"Do you understand? Peaches are picked in this way. Each person picks a peach and teaches it to Tan Sri. He only pays for picking a peach if he passes the inspection. So, I hope everyone can pick peaches well. I don't want to see damage."

She spoke quietly, although her voice was not loud, but she was quite majestic. Everyone nodded repeatedly, and no one dared to have other opinions.

Zhan Jinfeng glanced around and said to Dabai: "Dayong, you stay here and watch, I will take the rest of the people to the front."

Dayong nodded, and led the others to pick up a basket and walk under the peach tree.

Zhan Jinfeng took the rest of the people to the apple tree.

The apples on the apple tree are ripe, bright red in color and smooth in skin. Each fruit is as big as a small watermelon, and the soft paper strips fell down deeply because the fruits she chose were all grown in very good positions. So this weight will neither make the apple branch unable to bear the break, nor will it cause any damage to the apple.
