While busy, the Su family's front yard has been built, but the remaining half of the backyard wall has not yet been completed. Except for Su Sheng who was going to study at the clan school, the whole family went to clean the house. After cleaning for several days, the house was finally cleaned. Now we just move things, and move all the things from the hut to the new home. The couple lives in the room on the left of the main house, with the middle room as the main room, and the room on the right is empty. There are three wing rooms on the left. Su Yu lives in the first wing on the left, and the remaining two empty rooms are used to store things. Su Sheng lived in one room in the wing on the right. One room was used as a study room for the brother and sister, and the other was used to store sundries. The stove was built next to the wing on the right.
Eight rooms were built in a row in the backyard. The room next to it was filled with rows of bamboo poles. On the bamboo poles were hung smoked bacon. The whole room was covered with hangings. By the time the workers were sealing the wall, the Su family had almost finished moving. Su Laoer went to the village to find Mrs. Yu, who knew what was going on, to pick a good day. The day after tomorrow, the family was busy moving into their new house and inviting the villagers to a feast.
On that day, the women in the village came early to handle matters at home. Su Yu did not try to earn her prestige, so the kitchen was left to the wives in the village, under the watch of her own mother, while she herself invited them into the house. Those half-grown girls.
"Come over here, I have something delicious for you."
When Su Yu heard that she had delicious food there, all of them, big and small, ran over. Su Yu saw that there must be twenty or thirty of them.
"Sister Su, what's delicious?"
Yu Hua couldn't help but swallow when she asked. She had not forgotten the candy Sister Su gave her last time. It was so delicious that she still remembers it.
"You guys wait, I'll get it."
Su Yu went to his house and took a large bag of rice sugar from the cabinet. Rice sugar is made of malt. Once Su Yu bought some maltose in the town to eat, and there was a strange smell in it. Later, she made it herself. She chopped some malt and cooked it with rice noodles. It was cooked until it was thick and then fermented for a few hours. The drained juice was boiled until it was thick and stringy. She poured it into a pot aside and waited until it was ready. When it can be touched, start drawing, until the maltose turns white and becomes rice white sugar.
The ones I make are much more delicious than those made on the street. It was not the Chinese New Year a while ago, so I accidentally made more. I remembered that there was still a big bag left, and I couldn’t finish it anyway, so I gave it to the children in the village. .
"Everyone stand still. No one is allowed to take two pieces from each other. If anyone wants to take it, I won't give it to him if there is any delicious food in the future."
A group of children nodded vigorously, and Su Yu gave each of them two pieces.
Some couldn't wait to put it in their mouths, their eyes narrowed in happiness, it was so delicious. Some were reluctant to eat it, so they licked it, intending to keep it and eat it slowly.
Su Yu didn't care. Anyway, she got two yuan per person, which was very fair.
"If you ask me, it is the daughter of the Su family who can control these monkeys in the village. She doesn't just do a lot of things. Normally, she would be jumping up and down."
Several women washing vegetables were washing together and talking.
"No, the daughter of the Su family is not good at anything else, but she is very good at eating, drinking and having fun."
This doesn't sound like what it means. Although Su Yu is indeed like that to the people in the village, today is a good day for the Su family. If you tell the truth, you won't be afraid of the owner being unhappy.
The woman who spoke was used to talking nearby. After she finished speaking, she realized that this was the Su family, which made her feel a little embarrassed. Fortunately, none of the Su family were around at this moment, so they didn't hear what she said.
Su Yu has always been in charge internally, and Su Laoer is in charge externally. The couple unanimously agreed to this statement, but they didn't want their daughter's ability to spread in the village early, otherwise they would take advantage of his daughter's ideas. There must be a lot of them, look at it, no one is interested in his daughter now. The two of them wished that Su Yu couldn't get married and found a son-in-law for her. They had long since looked away at the reputation. Whether it was good or not was not decided by others.
Many women came to help today. As the hostess of the Su family, Mrs. Lian did not go to the stove. In the kitchen, she was asked how to eat this dish, how to cook that dish, where to put the seasonings, etc. This alone kept Mrs. Lian busy. Su Laoer took Su Sheng to greet the guests in the front yard. Today, all the villagers came. Surprisingly, shopkeeper Niu from Taihe Building came.
The father and son were surprised when they saw Shopkeeper Niu. They originally wanted to treat the villagers to a meal, but they didn't plan on making a big deal. Shopkeeper Niu's family didn't even invite him, but they didn't expect that Shopkeeper Niu came by himself, followed by a group of people. Also getting up was Yuan Xu.
"Shopkeeper Niu, member Xu, why are you two here?"
"Brother Su, you are so mean. Why do you have to notify me when your family is moving to a new house? If I hadn't heard from the guy below, I wouldn't have known."
"It's my fault. I didn't mean to do anything grand. I just invited the villagers to sit at a few tables."
"What's the relationship between us? Can you come if I heard about it? And Member Xu, when I heard that your family moved to a new house, they insisted on coming with me."
"At least we know each other. Come and have a drink."
Xu Yuanwai looked cold and aloof. There were few people present who didn't know that he was here just to stutter, but they didn't point it out.
"You two, please come in."
Su Yu was surprised to hear that Shopkeeper Niu and Yuan Xu were here. After thinking about it, he went to the kitchen.
"Yu'er, why are you here?"
Mrs. Lian was at the kitchen house and didn't know yet that Shopkeeper Niu and Yuan Xu were coming over.
"Shopkeeper Niu and Yuanwai Xu from Taihe Building are here. Please add two more dishes to the main table. I'll cook them."
"Sure, what do you want to do?"
Su Yu looked at the ingredients at home. On the stove, two women were already cooking vegetables in full swing. Only the small stove on the side was empty, but it was enough for her to cook. She just fried two vegetables without any trouble at all.
"Mom, I remember that the half pig sent had two kidneys. Is it still there now?"
"I put it in a small basin, go get it now."
Su Yu moved next to the woman cutting the meat.
"The aunts are busy."
"Why is Su Yatou here? We have nothing to do here."
"You need pig skin for cooking, I'll cut a piece of it."
"Then which piece do you want, can Auntie cut it for you?"
"Aunts are busy with your work, I will do it myself."
Su Yu took a kitchen knife that was lying around, pulled it towards the piece of pig skin he was looking for, and cut a piece of the pig skin directly along with the layer of fat on the skin. Just this one hand made the women around them stunned. They were all used to doing it on the stove at home, so they knew that Su Yu's knife skills could not be mastered in a day or two.
Su Yu didn't care what other people thought. He washed the pig skin and cut it into diamond shapes, then put various seasonings on it, mixed it evenly, and put it on a plate aside for later use.
"The two aunts are busy, I'll cook a few dishes."
The daughter of the Su family can also cook. The sun is really shining in the west.
