When it was almost time, the three of them went over to the Lu family.
Fu Manhua and her son were talking to Lu Boxing in the living room, while Su Mo went to the kitchen to help Li Yuee cook.
Liu Yuzhi is also there, helping to roll out the dumpling wrappers.
Lu Qing'an, who was helping to chop vegetables, saw Su Mo coming over, so he quickly put down his kitchen knife and ran away.
Before leaving, he said to Li Yue'e: "Go and chop the vegetables and let Xiao Mo cook them. She cooks them deliciously."
Li Yuee was so angry that she raised her rolling pin and wanted to hit him on the head.
"This old guy, asking him to come into the kitchen and help out is like being tortured."
Lu Qing'an is not lazy. He also likes to do other tasks, but he doesn't like to go into the kitchen.
"It's okay, Mom, I'm here to help you." Su Mo said with a smile, "What do you want to cook?"
"Xiao Mo, do you think this arrangement is okay for tonight?"
"Make chicken stewed with mushroom vermicelli, roe deer meat stewed with cabbage, chop the roast duck and eat it directly, then scramble an egg and make some sauerkraut and pork dumplings. While the vegetables are stewing, add some cornmeal pancakes."
"Okay, Mom, it's already very rich." You may not be able to eat so richly even during the Chinese New Year.
"Your eldest aunt and the others have come all the way to come here, but they don't deserve to be treated well." Li Yuee said with a smile.
In the countryside at this time, if the host could entertain a chicken, he was definitely a very important guest.
"My mother has already stewed the chicken and mushrooms in that pot. In this pot over here, you stew the roe deer meat."
Su Mo nodded. Lu Qing'an had already cut these ingredients. After lighting the fire, Su Mo sauteed the roe deer meat until fragrant, then added water and soy sauce, added the cabbage and stewed it.
Before Lu Qing'an could cut the roast duck, Su Mo took it to the fire and roasted it. When it was hot, he sliced the duck with a knife.
This was the first time Li Yue'e saw this, and she was a little surprised: "Is this duck meat cut like this?"
"Yes, you have to cut this roast duck into pieces and eat it. This duck skeleton, take a radish later and make duck skeleton radish soup."
This roast duck is just delicious, so Su Mo doesn't make it as complicated as later generations. It also has to be paired with pancakes and mixed vegetables, so she can just eat the meat.
Li Yue'e was secretly shocked. Fortunately, the old guy didn't have time to kill him just now, otherwise it would have been a joke.
The meat of the roe deer is tender and does not need to be stewed for too long. When it is almost done, Su Mo will put it in a big basin.
After cleaning the pot, add water, put the duck carcass in and stew it, took a radish, cut it into cubes and put it in to stew the soup together.
In another pot, Li Yue'e also put corn tortillas on them. After putting all the vegetables in, she was ready to cook dumplings.
While Liu Yuzhi was cooking dumplings, Li Yuee went out to take a look and saw that Lu Weiguo was already chatting with two boys in the main room, so she called him out.
"What's the matter with your wife? There are guests coming, but she doesn't even show her face." Li Yue'e asked in a bad tone.
Lu Weiguo was also annoyed: "Mom, ignore her and let her be."
Lu Guihua has never left home since Zhao Jiuxiang and others returned to the brigade to criticize her.
Lu Fubao had no one to cook. Even after he came a few times, Lu Guihua didn't say he wouldn't cook, but asked Lu Fubao to give him food in exchange.
Lu Fubao is not really a piece of meat. After all, he also went to school. Regardless of his grades, he is still a junior high school student. So he moved two bags of grain and put them at Lu Guihua's place. No one was here to eat, so he came to pick them up once a day and went home to eat by himself.
Affected by this incident, Lu Guodong did not go to school for several days. The two brothers stayed at home together every day, and they looked less lively than before.
"Then keep an eye on her and don't let her cause any trouble." Li Yue'e warned.
"Mom, don't worry, she won't make trouble." Lu Weiguo said. He saw that his wife seemed to be getting better these days.
After the dumplings were cooked, Li Yue'e hurriedly greeted them to eat.
Seeing so many dishes, Fu Manhua hurriedly said: "Sister-in-law, it's really hard to prepare so many dishes. It seems that I am in luck today."
"Hey, sister, don't say that. Our cooking in the north is not as sophisticated as that in the south, so you just have to make do with it."
After the conversation in the afternoon, the two of them were no longer so polite, and called in-laws.
There was a wall of fire in the house, which was very warm. A large family was surrounding them, and they were having a lively meal.
Lu Qing'an even took out the roe deer blood wine that he had brewed some time ago, and all the adults at the table drank one or two glasses.
Lu Guihua, who was sitting next door, felt extremely sad when she heard this. She thought someone would call her over, but unexpectedly there was no one.
After eating and chatting for a while, everyone went home to rest.
Su Mo was tired from a busy day, so she went back to boil water and took a bath, then went to sleep on the kang with Fu Manhua.
After drinking the roe deer blood wine, the two women slept well. On the other hand, Su Yichen, a young man with strong energy, got up and performed a full set of martial arts punches before resting.
On the other side, in the Lu family's main room, the couple were also chatting at night.
"The natal family of these three siblings is really good. Her eldest cousin is only one year older than the third eldest brother and is already the head of the regiment at the age of twenty-five. Her eldest aunt is also the director of the hospital, and her uncle is also a teacher. " Lu Xingjun sighed.
"The third child has had good taste since he was a child. He even picked a good wife at a glance."
At first, everyone thought that Lao San would be at a loss if he let go of the female soldiers from the art troupe and married a female educated youth who went to the countryside.
Now look at it, not only are people capable, but their backgrounds are tough.
With such support from the in-law family, the future of the third child will only get better and better.
Liu Yuzhi was unhappy when he heard Lu Xingjun's sour tone, "What? Do you think you're at a loss for marrying me?"
"No way." Lu Xingjun's heart skipped a beat and he quickly said, "We are just right for this. That's what I'm saying. I don't have the ability of the third brother, and even the good one can't look down on me."
Liu Yuzhi smiled and pinched Lu Xingjun, "It's good that you know."
"By the way, why do you think the third brother and sister's parents didn't come? Could something have happened?" Liu Yuzhi asked in a low voice.
"It's possible that when the third child was about to get married, dad also guessed the same thing. But it shouldn't be a big deal. The uncle is very powerful. I think it will be fine in a year or two." Lu Xingjun said.
"Her aunt gave us a piece of fabric as a gift. What do you think we can give her when she comes back?"
"It's up to mother to give it to you, and we'll just add some more when the time comes."
