Era: Start as a buyer

Chapter 35 Nothing to do



In fact, Luo Cheng's mother was not idle either, cleaning Luo Cheng's room. Last time Luo Cheng caught Zhao Qian helping him wash clothes, and there was no need to wipe away the dusty places with a rag.

While the women are working, the men are naturally lying around waiting for food.

"Nariko, the two pheasants outside are the dishes on the banquet tomorrow."

"Well, I picked a lot of pepper last time, but it wasn't enough. I'll just get some Chinese cabbage as a base tomorrow."

"Then what else are you going to cook? Tell your mother."

"There is a big pig's head in the bag at the door. I brought it from the city and braised it. It can be eaten directly. I will ask my sister-in-law to cut the pig's ears separately later. They are all good dishes for drinking. I also made ten kilograms of wine. Bulk wine, there are eggs next to the rice vat, three plates of scrambled eggs, and some stir-fried vegetables, have you seen enough?"

When she heard that the soft-shell turtle in the big wooden basin was not included, but a big pig's head, Luo Cheng's mother hurriedly picked up the bag at the door. When I opened it, I saw a damn cute pig head with delicate features. I just wanted to take a bite.

"It's a big pig's head. You put it in a sack like this. It's a little dirty on the face."

"It's not sold in the town. I got it from the city. I don't need to put it in a sack. Just sprinkle it with water."

Luo Cheng's mother nodded. She originally thought that the hardest dish was the two pheasants at the door, but she didn't expect that the really tough dish was the pig's head. Moreover, it is a very fat pig head. There is no dish harder than this. It makes everyone drool.

But this is braised when you buy it and can be eaten directly. The two pheasants outside will be slaughtered early tomorrow to be fresher, and they came in a hurry. It seems that here, apart from cleaning up, there is nothing much to do. Of course, the pig head can be cut and prepared first, and then put on a vegetable plate.

The meal was soon ready, and Luo Cheng's newly bought bowls and chopsticks were ready for use. About three kilograms of rice can be used to cook about six kilograms of rice. We all know how much we eat. Even women, in this era of liberal eating, more than a kilogram of rice per person is nothing.

There are enough stools for everyone to sit at the table and eat. Luo Cheng didn't have to worry about anything. He just sat on the stool and waited for his sister-in-law or sister to help him bring the rice.

"I'm just going to eat a bowl of rice. Don't make too much. Give me the bottom rice dumpling later."

"I know, brother."

If it was Luo Yanying, it meant that she was serving the rice. The meal was served by my sister-in-law, so the division of labor was reasonable.

Luo Cheng's mother was holding her granddaughter in her arms and sitting with her grandson waiting. My sister-in-law's first child is a son, and the younger one is a daughter, who is more than half a year old and has not yet been weaned.

The food is on the table, eat, and start. At the dinner table, my sister and sister-in-law just ate in silence, while Luo Cheng and his mother chatted about getting married tomorrow.

Luo Cheng told his mother that Accountant Zhao had come to see him while he was away in the morning, and he might come again in the afternoon. He didn't know what happened. There is nothing else in terms of other aspects. Many of the previous wedding customs have disappeared. At most, the most is to go to the wedding in the morning. Go to Accountant Zhao's place to sit for a while and drink tea first, but according to Accountant Zhao's family's conditions, those who go to welcome the bride may be able to eat a bowl of sugar-watered eggs.

"Swallow, eat more meat, and you'll be polite to me."

"Uncle, I also want to eat meat."

Luo Cheng, who was chatting, saw that Luo Yan didn't have any vegetables, so he directly gave her some meat slices. The three-year-old nephew sitting on the side was also greedy for meat when he saw it.

Luo Cheng looked at his nephew. He and his brother and sister-in-law didn't like him very much. That was because of his parents' favoritism and there was no hatred. This nephew is still a nephew after all.

"Okay, uncle will also give you some meat to eat, some fat meat."

When Wang Xiaomo saw his brother-in-law Luo Cheng holding meat for his son, he smiled and asked his son to say thank you uncle.

Luo Cheng finished his bowl of rice quickly. The bird meat was fried with lard and added with some Sichuan peppercorns, which tasted good. Luo Cheng put the bowl down and set his chopsticks again. Without saying a word, Luo Yan understood, stopped the bowls and chopsticks in her hands, and went to serve Luo Cheng the rice cakes.

Cook rice in a large pot on the stove. After cooking, leave a small flame under the pot and don't extinguish it intentionally. Soon there will be a circle of rice on the bottom of the pot. It's very fragrant and chewy, but usually people can't even eat dry rice, so they rarely have the opportunity to eat crispy rice.

At the dinner table, Luo Cheng asked everyone not to leave any vegetables. According to the past, one fried meat would have to be saved for two days. There is no reason to finish it in one meal, but Luo Cheng told Luo Yan that his eldest sister Luo Lan was coming in the afternoon. Make dinner early, fry all the remaining pork belly, fry a few eggs, and continue to cook rice.

They prepare meals early because they are afraid of eating too late. It takes nearly half an hour for them to go back. It's not good that it's dark, but it's summer now, and it actually gets dark slowly.

One pot of rice and two vegetables, fried radish slices and meat, even the soup was licked clean. They naturally take the initiative to wash dishes and tidy up.

Luo Cheng was lying leisurely on the bed, thinking that it would be good to have a woman at home. From now on, I will have my own wife to take care of me, and my good days will come soon.

Not long after the meal, Accountant Zhao came. He didn't have anything important to do with Luo Cheng. He just wanted to save face. After all, he invited the town leaders this time. He has been very busy recently because of the establishment of a commune. I checked on Luo Cheng before going to work in the morning and found that he was not there. Now I took the time to look for Luo Cheng after lunch.

I came here just to see what Luo Cheng was going to prepare for the banquet tomorrow. He had seen the two pheasants at the door when he came in the morning. The stewed pheasant is not bad. It would be fine if you don't invite the leader and the two families to have a meal together, but it feels a little worse if you invite the town leader.

Luo Cheng now expresses his closeness to Accountant Zhao, although he still calls him Accountant Zhao after Accountant Zhao. But tomorrow his name will be different. Tomorrow he will have to call him dad like Zhao Qian.

Many people in rural areas do not print marriage certificates, but witnesses are popular. Not having a banquet does not mean not having a meal, so those who do not have a banquet to get married should also invite the village or a reputable elder to have a meal and be a witness.

It can be said that as long as the banquet is held at noon tomorrow, no matter whether Luo Cheng sleeps with Accountant Zhao's daughter at night, his daughter will be regarded as Luo Cheng's. If he regretted it at that time, Luo Chengdu could have sent someone to Accountant Zhao's house to snatch his daughter away and force her to sleep. Luo Cheng is justified in ensuring that this matter will be brought to the police.

Of course, it was impossible to regret it. It was Accountant Zhao who took the initiative to marry his daughter to Luo Cheng.

When Accountant Zhao came to see what dishes he had prepared, Luo Cheng asked his sister-in-law to bring the pig's head to the dining table. He went to the city to buy it early in the morning and it was braised. Rural people actually don’t know how to prepare good ingredients if they have them. This pig head is very delicious when eaten as it is.

I asked my sister-in-law to cut some for Accountant Zhao, about half a catty, and then asked him if he wanted to drink some. It's normal to go to work after drinking these days. Accountant Zhao really couldn't walk when he looked at the fat and tender pork head meat.

"Then let's have some wine. I've never tasted the braised pig's head in this city."

"How about I give you some fried peanuts, let us drink some together, and then you tell me about the commune."

"Okay, it's only a few days away anyway, I'll let you know when the time comes, let's talk to you now."
