In order to celebrate the joy of moving into a house, and to thank the villagers who helped him build a house during this period, Zhu Yongwu called Jiang Youcheng and Jiang Youfu's family to help prepare a big pot of food and invited the villagers to eat.
Pork belly slices, Chinese cabbage, potatoes, fried tofu with golden skin, vermicelli, plus the most lush and tender garlic sprouts in spring, and finally add some lard, and cook it in a big pot. .
The longer a big pot dish is simmered, the richer the flavor will be, especially the big pot dish that has been cooked since morning. By the time you eat it at noon, the meaty flavor has soaked into every vegetable. No matter what dish you eat, it will feel rich. Very fragrant.
Such a big pot dish, you have to eat two bowls in a row to feel satisfied.
But everyone who came to eat also knew that it was not easy for Zhu Yongwu to settle down in Jiangjia Village alone with his children. He had already spent most of his money on building houses, donating money to the ancestral hall, and so on. Those who don't have enough money just scoop it out once.
When scooping, Zhu Yongwu didn't let him scoop it too full. He just moved the bowl aside and said, "It's enough to eat. You can't eat that much. Scooping too much is a waste..."
Some were even too embarrassed to eat Zhu Yongwu's Erhe noodles steamed buns, so they only brought pancakes from home and soaked them in the big pots and bowls.
The soup is rich in flavor, so soak some pancakes in it and it will taste better.
Farmers don't pay much attention to their meals. They don't have to have a table or a stool. They stand or squat in twos and threes, talking and eating a big pot of food.
Zhu Yongwu looked at such a lively scene, and the smile on his face became a little thicker.
Bang!
Mrs. Zhang threw the water ladle in her hand into the water tank with all her strength, and became even more angry, "This big pot of food is so fragrant, the smell has come here from the edge of the village. How much meat and how many pigs should be put in?" Oil?"
"Li Zheng also said that Zhu Yongwu and his son came from outside and were not familiar with the place. They would also help those in the village who could help. They were lying with their eyes open! They built three large tile-roofed houses once the house was built. , this house is built with so much oil, it looks like it belongs to a wealthy owner, does it still need our help?"
"Jiang Youcheng is also a man with his elbows turned outward. If he has money to do business in partnership with those outside who don't know the details, he doesn't know what to do in partnership with his second brother? He just throws the money away!"
The more Ms. Zhang talked, the angrier she became.
Can you not be angry?
When Zhu Yongwu's family was building a house, it was Jiang Youcheng who helped recruit people and called people. The people in the village who knew how to work with bricks and mortar called everyone, except for their family members.
Isn't this clearly telling others that you look down on their second wife?
Okay, these people are building a house in exchange for a meal. It's too hard and not cost-effective. If it's not called a second house for them, it won't be called it. Repairing the porcelain kiln is a serious job for which wages are paid. Since the money has to be given out, no matter who it is given to, why don’t you ask them to earn a living from the second house?
Not only did she not scream, but when she called Jiang Chunhe to find Jiang Youcheng to help build the porcelain kiln, she said that she had enough people and drove Jiang Chunhe back?
It makes me so angry!
Mrs. Zhang was so angry that if she hadn't remembered that the barrel in her hand had just been repaired, she would have just smashed the barrel into pieces!
"Mom, what are you cooking for noon?" Jiang Chunhe came back with a hoe on his back and started shouting after entering the yard, "I have been busy for a long time and I am going to starve to death."
Jiang Chunhe also felt angry in his stomach.
The time the roof collapsed, he suffered the consequences of his boss.
There were injuries all over his body and face, his arms were broken, and most importantly, his face was disfigured, and there was a big gash at the corner of his mouth.
As a result, he was forced to work in the fields even after a few months of recovery.
And you have to keep an eye on him and don't be lazy.
So angry!
It's not like he is the only male in the family, there is also Jiang Chunbao.
Even if he wants to study in a private school, he is not a young man, he can lift it with his hands and carry it on his shoulders, and he is the master who spends so much money. If he doesn't work, he is the eldest brother who does everything?
Jiang Chunhe became anxious when he thought of this, and threw the hoe aside with a clang.
When Wu saw this, she was afraid that her father-in-law who had entered the courtyard behind would be angry, so she hurriedly picked it up and secretly told Jiang Chunhe, "Mom didn't let me cook."
"Not allowed to cook?" Jiang Chunhe was stunned, "Why?"
Mrs. Zhang heard the sound and came over, putting the bowl into Jiang Chunhe's hand, "Go to Zhu Yongwu's house to eat. The big pot of food is so fragrant that you can even smell the aroma in our yard."
It is indeed fragrant.
Walking back from the field, before reaching the village, Jiang Chunhe could smell the strong smell of meat. The glutton in his stomach was immediately aroused, and his saliva could not stop flowing.
The more I smelled this aroma, the hungrier I felt, so when I got home, I couldn't wait to ask what kind of food was being cooked.
My family's meals are never very rich, but there is absolutely no problem in being full. Even if it is sweet potato dumplings, smelling the fragrant meat, it can still be eaten, right?
But now, there was no cooking at home, so his mother asked him to go to Zhu Yongwu's house to eat a big pot of food.
"Mom, our family didn't build a house for anyone else. If we go to eat with a bowl, will it be..."
Not quite appropriate.
Wu said softly.
"What's inappropriate?" Mrs. Zhang glared at Mrs. Wu, "It's his good fortune that Zhu Yongwu can settle down in Jiangjia Village. He has benefited from the whole Jiangjia Village. Today, he has set the pot for you to eat." If you invite people from Jiangjiacun to cook the big pot, it will be his blessing!"
"Our family can go to his house to eat a big pot of food. That's a shame for their family. Why didn't we go to help build a house? We just went there. Why, can he kick us all out?"
It will definitely not happen if you drive them out.
After all, he is a fellow villager. Even if he is upset in his heart, he will not do such ugly things on the outside.
But the point is, I didn’t go to help and went to eat the big pot of food in someone else’s greenhouse. This can’t be justified after all...
Wu felt a little embarrassed.
But she also knew her mother-in-law's temperament well, and as a daughter-in-law, she could never refute anything Zhang said.
Furthermore, there was no cooking at home. If she didn’t eat, she would be hungry for lunch. It was okay for her to be hungry, but she still had children...
Wu stopped talking, shrank her head, and stepped aside.
Jiang Chunhe looked at the ocean bowl in his hand, which was bigger than his face, and looked at Mrs. Zhang hesitantly, "Mom, I don't want to go..."
Mrs. Zhang didn't expect Jiang Chunhe to say such a thing, and her eyes widened, "Why? You don't even eat big pot dishes? You haven't eaten much meat at home recently, so why are you so naughty?"
"It's not that I don't eat, it's..."
Jiang Chunhe's face was full of embarrassment, "Mom, don't you think our family's luck has been a bit bad lately?"
