Chapter 111 Hometown
Unlike outsiders and younger generations, what elders talk about and value in their hearts are other issues.
The Hong family in the east courtyard.
Hong Lucheng and Wang Yunlin complained.
"...I still have no hair on my lips and can't do things well. Let me just say, don't let Lao Li interfere and let this kid do it by himself. It will definitely make a joke. Look at how elegant the wedding banquet turned out in the end? It's so meaty and vegetarian.
They all put it on the table. In the end, they were so drunk! They were acting nonsense! This is to spread the virtues of the Hong family, and they are making a big fool of themselves!"
Wang Yunlin was kind and persuasive.
"You can't say that. They are all young people, they like to joke around, and they just want to be lively. I think they are quite happy, and they are not out of the circle. As for the third child, he has always been restrained in drinking in the past few years. How can he drink like that?
I'm happy. It shows that this marriage is really suitable for the child. Besides, there are indeed many guests today. There are thirty people at the table. How much does the third child have to drink in this round of toasts? He doesn't even bother to eat..."
"Hey, I know you always have words to protect him. Then they will leave tomorrow and won't even come back? What does this mean? Are there any rules?"
"Hey, even my parents don't care about this. They have only had a few days off? They are going to Huacheng again. I still say that time has passed, one moment has changed. Think about it, the trumpeter has long since disappeared, and now there is no one to sit down.
The sedan is showing off the dowry. Look again, who else is posting happy words that can distinguish between a daughter-in-law and a daughter-in-law? This is how society is changing step by step according to actual needs. Why should we stick to the past and not change? I’m not afraid you won’t like to hear it.
, since times have changed, it would be a joke to use the previous standards to look at the present."
Hong Lucheng fell silent after hearing this, but after a while, he still couldn't help but use forceful words to save face.
"That's not entirely true what you said. At least the food standards in the past were better than today's. Look at the 'six-grade soufflé' on the table today. Such exquisite palace pastries have not been seen for a long time. With that
The state-owned pastry factory will not be able to make such dim sum in a hundred years. And the last dish, 'Braised Two Shredded Chickens', was a famous dish of our 'Yan Mei Lou' in the past. It is not difficult to say, and a chef with some skills can
Anyone can cook it. But the more anyone can cook a dish, the more skillful it is. Look at what’s on the table today. The soup tastes good and is thick and not thick. The knife skills are also good, and the chicken shreds are cut like threads and hemp.
Moreover, one is fresh and tender, the other is fragrant. The two flavors are not mixed at all, but are instead layered on top of each other. It is not easy to make ordinary dishes so extraordinary. Master Zhang’s craftsmanship is no better than the one who created this dish for us.
The royal chef."
Wang Yunlin couldn't help but smile when she talked about this, because from the change of topic, she realized her husband's compromise.
"It has to be said that you are obsessed with your son. Master Zhang rarely showed his hand and made these two things for Xiao Wu's marriage. What a show of kindness. You should be relieved now, right? Xiao Wu
It can only be said to be fate that Wu Hequanzi met a family of chefs like Master Zhang. Once he completes his studies and becomes a chef, the dishes after the reopening of the old restaurant will no doubt be as good as before. Who is our son doing this for? It can be seen that he has been thinking about it all the time.
What's on your mind?"
When Hong Lucheng heard this, he immediately looked pleased.
"Well, this guy is really interested. Now, there is really hope for our old shop to reopen. Unfortunately, it was too chaotic today and I didn't have time to have a good chat with Master Zhang. I don't know if this Master Zhang understands
Don’t know how to make other Manchu cakes? Cream Uttar, it was the signature of our ‘Yan Mei Zhai’ in the past, but it has been lost for a long time, and no one knows how to make it now.”
Wang Yunlin smiled again.
"In a second thought, you thought of 'Yanmei House' instead of 'Yanmei House'? It's actually easy. In the past few days, just let Quanzi take us to visit. As for the return gift after the wedding, we also
I have to go to the door in person to thank them. I think now that I have met him, Master Zhang will no longer avoid us..."
Xiyuan Shuijia.
"...Buy silk, make clothes, wear jewelry and hairpins, and you and I will become a young couple..."
Shui Gengsheng was happily drinking wine, eating the "Zheluo" brought back from the canteen, and humming "Wujia Slope".
The cold-blooded aunt slapped him shamelessly, suddenly ending his freedom to sing.
(Zheluo, a capital dialect. In the past when supplies were scarce, the way to use the leftovers from banquets was to fold them into a basket, remove the soup, and then re-stew the vegetables for consumption. This generally refers to the leftovers. As for this word
The disappearance of "package" is probably accompanied by the emergence of the new word "packing")
"Okay, okay, just eat what you have and drink what you have. Why are you still singing 'Four Olds'? With your big mouth open, I can almost see my stomach. Besides, your singing is not good, either."
It's like a cat meowing. It makes me so upset..."
Shui Gengsheng lost his temper and immediately threw his chopsticks.
"Look at your bad mouth, how did you get me? I'm so happy on this big day! Why don't you sing a few lines?"
"Still overjoyed? Still happy? You are so relieved. Why don't I feel good in my heart? The more I think about it, the more I feel bad about it. The daughter I raised with great difficulty has been both good in character and study since she was a child. Why didn't she be trained by the country?
He has become a talented person, but Hong Laosan has trained him to be a servant girl..."
As she said this, Aunt Shui actually sniffed and was about to cry.
Only then did Shui Gengsheng understand what he was doing. His anger disappeared, but his words became more reasonable.
"Oh, look, are you being petty again? Don't you think you're going to get married if you train talents for the country? Why do you order a girl? That's nonsense! Oh, you just saw your daughter serving Xiao Wu in the afternoon. That's not because he was drunk.
, the situation is special. Why don’t you look at how Xiao Wu treats Qing’er? She is also very obedient and understands the cold and the hot.”
"I know that you are always a little bit unwilling and feel that Xiao Wu is not worthy of Qing'er. But to be honest, this uncle is not without merit. At least he knows how to respect the elderly and treat children well. We should treat his own parents well.
Let’s not talk about it anymore. The color TV in our house was given to us voluntarily, right? He is also really nice to Xiaoying, right?"
"It is said that marrying a wife from a low-class family and marrying a daughter from a high-class family. The Hong family has such financial resources, but they have no temper. Xiao Wu will not let our daughter suffer hardship, and he will not glare at Qing'er and his mother. I am right now
This child is getting more and more relieved. And don’t forget, they will live in the same courtyard with us from now on, what’s the difference between that and barging in the door? If you ask me, such a son-in-law is fine, he should be content..."
This is quite reasonable, and Aunt Shui has to admit it. It's just that old women can't turn around so easily, and they will inevitably complain in anger.
"What are you talking about? Who has been married for less than three days? Even if you are right, you are still marrying a good person and a bastard, and you have to wait and see the consequences. And you want to step in? If he really bullies my daughter in the future, then
Is it also in front of me that I can’t be angered to death by him?”
Unexpectedly, these words made Shui Gengsheng sigh.
"What you say is not wrong. But in the long run, I feel guilty for our daughter."
"What do you mean?"
"What else can you mean? It's just a matter of having children. Yes, everything was agreed according to Qing'er's wishes before marriage. Xiao Wu does not want children until Xiaoying is twelve years old. But the first criterion for a qualified wife is to have children! Time
How old will the Hong family be? How can you feel sorry for yourself? Calculate how old Qing'er will be in six or seven years. If you have another child in thirty-six or seven, what if... you say you can
what to do?"
Aunt Shui was so excited now that she couldn't help but feel nervous.
"What do you mean?"
