Chapter 40: No one congratulates her into the new house

"Sister-in-law, shall we still have housewarming wine today?" Pei Xiaoyu asked.

Today is the day when Zhu Jiangjiang decided to move into a new house. It should have been lively and lively, but now it seems extremely deserted.

People in the village have decided not to come to participate. When Niu Dong went back yesterday, he also said hello and said that he couldn't come today due to business.

There is no news about the remaining guests who can come, the brothers and sisters of the Ming family.

"Eat, why don't you eat?"

After a night of self-organization, Zhu Jiangjiang changed his depressed appearance yesterday and became full of energy, "We not only need to eat, but also eat and drink well!"

She also insisted on cooking a big meal, and then serving it in the pavilion on the first floor, to piss off those people in the village.

"Xiaoyu, go and change into your new skirt, my sister-in-law will cook something delicious for you!"

"it is good!"

Pei Xiaoyu happily ran upstairs to change into her new clothes.

Zhu Jiangjiang put on an apron and went to the kitchen, which was built separately. The kitchen is a simple room with a stove, a cupboard, a tool rack, and a firewood pile.

It seems that everything is placed in one room, but it is organized in an orderly manner.

When designing the house, Zhu Jiangjiang also included the furniture. Even though it is impossible to have home appliances in this era, she still left the place that should be reserved.

For example, the double-door bamboo cabinet next to the cupboard has several layers of shelves inside, which are specially used to store ingredients for cooking.

The upper and lower layers are separated from wet and dry, even if it cannot achieve the function of a refrigerator, it can still preserve the ingredients in a well-ventilated environment.

In the two water tanks, one large and one small, a grass carp was flopping about in the small one.

This is the congratulatory gift that Niu Dong brought to her yesterday.

Zhu Jiangjiang rolled up his sleeves, fished out the fish with bare hands, and knocked it down with a stick. The fish thumped twice, and then there was no more movement.

In the chicken coop next to the kitchen, there are ten chickens she bought back. They were originally used for housewarming wine, but now they can only be kept.

When going to catch the chicken, Zhu Jiangjiang accidentally discovered that the chicken had laid eggs!

After picking up the only four eggs in the chicken coop and another fat chicken, Zhu Jiangjiang turned and went back to the kitchen.

After Pei Xiaoyu changed her clothes, she put on a skirt and carried a basket, and went out to pick tea.

The spring tea has been picked, and you can pick a basket once in a while. Pei Xiaoyu went today to pick it up for Zhu Jiangjiang to cook.

The kitchen of Pei's family has been filled with smoke from the early morning.

After breakfast and lunch, the villagers went to the fields to cut off the water and came back. When passing by the entrance of the village, they saw Zhu Jiangjiang bringing out another dish.

Everyone is stupid.

She's still making house wine?For whom?

Zhu Jiangjiang has been busy in the kitchen until the afternoon before finishing the dishes on the table.

Six meat, three vegetables and one soup, ten dishes, perfect!

However, Zhu Jiangjiang and Pei Xiaoyu's sister-in-law were the only ones eating.

"Sister-in-law, there are so many dishes, we can't finish them all." Pei Xiaoyu held up his chopsticks, hesitating.

Although she was happy that they could have such a hearty meal, the amount was somewhat intimidating.

"It's okay, let's eat slowly."

After finishing this table of meals, Zhu Jiangjiang was really tired, and he was a little weak to speak.

"Little lady."

Just as the two of them were about to move their chopsticks, the voice of Ming Ji came from the direction of the village entrance, "Huh? Didn't you say that there is going to be a banquet? Why don't you see any guests? Could it be that we are late?"

Seeing the carriage parked in front of the courtyard, Zhu Jiangjiang was so moved that he almost burst into tears.

Finally some guests came to celebrate with them.

"Mr. Ming, Miss Ming, you are here at the right time. I just finished cooking, come in quickly..."

Zhu Jiangjiang put down the bowls and chopsticks, got up and ran to meet the brothers and sisters of the Ming family.

But in the carriage were not only the two brothers and sisters of the Ming family, but also an uninvited one, "Young Master Zhu, why are you here too?"

She and Zhu Qingran had only met each other at the Ming Clan Academy, so they were not considered acquaintances, but she did not expect him to come.

"He took the opportunity to come out to be alone with my sister." Mingji leaned over Zhu Jiangjiang and said quickly in her ear as he passed by.

After speaking, he went directly to the table for food.

It turned out that Zhu Qingran didn't come here specially to congratulate her on moving to a new house.

Come to think of it.

"Little lady, I still remember." Zhu Qingran walked towards her unhurriedly, and handed her the things in his hand, "A little heart, congratulations, little lady, for moving into the new house."

After speaking, he looked up at the house behind Zhu Jiangjiang.

"Little lady, is this your new house?" Zhu Qingran's eyes revealed surprise and joy.

When he came here, he still laughed at Mingji, what is there for him to congratulate on a country woman moving to a new house, but now he just wants to say: Fortunately, he is here.

A two-story wooden building, although it is not surrounded by corridors, pavilions and waterside pavilions like the mansions in the city, it is more beautiful than the mansions in the city.

The doors and windows on the upper floor are open, and the front and rear of the house run through. The wind from the field blows through, and it blows something that looks like a bell but is not a bell hanging under the eaves.

That thing has distinct layers, some are tube-shaped, some are tea-cup-shaped, and there are streamers hanging from it, which is extremely elegant.

There are also houses on the lower floor, but the houses on the lower floor are only half the size of the upper floor, and the other half, together with the yard, can be walked back and forth to cool off.

Zhu Jiangjiang kindly invited them to sit down, but Zhu Qingran didn't have a chance to go into the house to have a look. He thought that the appearance of the house would not disappoint him.

Ming Yao sat down and looked around, but she couldn't see anyone, so she asked curiously: "Little lady, where are your guests? Why are there only two of you?"

"This...something went wrong, and the guests stopped coming."

Zhu Jiangjiang showed a bit of embarrassment, and changed the subject, "It's a good thing that you are here, even if my meal is not in vain, you should try it."

When Pei Xiaoyu got up to greet the three of them, she had already gone to the kitchen to get them new bowls and chopsticks, Zhu Jiangjiang directly turned their attention to the food on the table.

"What kind of dishes are these? They look so good!"

Sure enough, the three of them were attracted by the dishes that Zhu Jiangjiang had spent most of the day cooking on the table.

Chicken is chicken, fish is fish, and meat is meat, but why Zhu Jiangjiang made it look so pleasing and appetizing!

"Most of these are my hometown dishes. I don't know if you have eaten them before."

Zhu Jiangjiang didn't know if anyone had cooked the dishes she made here, but he tried his best to make them with the existing ingredients.

"Scallion Chicken, Sweet and Sour Fish, Garlic Pork Ribs, Braised Elbow, and Stir-Fried Pork. You should have eaten all of these, but this Longjing meatball is my original creation. You probably haven't tried it?"

Besides these meat dishes, there are scrambled eggs, stuffed tofu, mapo tofu and stir-fried vegetables.

After all, they are famous people in Jiangnan Town, so they should have eaten them all, right?

But unfortunately, they didn't eat it.

To be precise, Zhu Jiangjiang's cooking technique is too complicated and there are many seasoning methods. It is really surprising to the ancient people who just want to cook the food without in-depth research on the combination of ingredients.

"This scallion oil, this tofu, this tea leaves are made with meat...you can still eat like this?"

Scallion oil is not a simple scallion oil. The tofu seems to have been fried, and the refreshing tea is used to cook the broth. Her combination is too bold!
