Song Sanniang's Journey to Wealth

Chapter 165 Let's have dinner together

Mrs. Song was shocked and confused by her two daughters' words. She certainly wanted to live in the big house.

But she was also afraid that she would not be able to live in a big house and would not even have the monthly pension. After thinking it over, she decided to wait and see.

Seeing that it was almost time, Auntie Song said to Mrs. Song and the other two, "Don't go over to eat. We will bring it back to you later." Without waiting for them to say anything, she left the house.

She called Han Zhuang and the children who were waiting in the yard to go to Song Laoer's house for dinner. Song Ergu also came out with them. When they arrived at Song Laoer's house, Aunt Cuihua and the others had already moved the tables and chairs from home and set them up in the front yard.

Song Zhengan didn't have to cook so many dishes tonight. Only he and his eldest son's family helped out. Some of the dishes were served and placed on the table.

The people who were having dinner at Song Lao Er's house tonight were all the helpers in the store, as well as Liu Wai Zu's family, Song Er Gu and the others, so a few tables were enough. However, the food was not small, with six meat dishes, two vegetable dishes, and a soup, but no dessert.

The most popular braised pork is still there, but it is replaced with taro braised pork, and the preserved vegetables are used to make preserved vegetable meat pie with pork.

Everyone likes to eat the Fortune Pork Knuckle made at noon, and the Baiyun Pork Knuckle made at night.

Next, there was braised duck with bamboo shoots, sweet and sour fish, stir-fried pork offal, cold cucumber salad, stir-fried Chinese cabbage, and a sword flower, soybean and pork bone soup.

It has to be said that Song Zhengan is not only skilled in cooking, but also has a flexible mind. He can flexibly transform different ingredients into dishes so that people will not feel tired of eating.

And considering that everyone might have eaten too well at noon, I also specially made a sword flower soup to clear away heat and moisten the lungs.

Taro braised pork, the taro is fragrant and soft, the ribs are fresh and tender, and the preserved vegetable meat pie is also a great dish to go with rice. The crisp preserved vegetables neutralize the rich fat of the pork, which makes people's appetite open.

Baiyun pig's trotter is a cold dish. The trotter is cooked, cooled and seasoned. It tastes sweet and sour, fat but not greasy. The skin is crispy and the meat is smooth. It does not have the sticky feeling when eating braised or stewed pig's trotters.

The duck meat in the bamboo shoot braised duck absorbs the fragrance of bamboo shoots, and tastes unique, while the bamboo shoots absorb the gravy and aroma of duck meat, which is crispy and has a rich aroma of duck meat. If you eat it with rice, you will eat an extra bowl of rice.

The sweet and sour fish is sweet and sour, and the stir-fried pork offal, pork intestines, pork liver and other pork offal are cleaned and stir-fried over high heat. It is really delicious.

Even the soybeans and pork bones used in the soup were taken out and fried again. The soybeans and pork bones were stewed until they were soft and absorbed the sauce, which was also a delicious dish.

Second Aunt Song and Third Aunt Song brought their children, Second Aunt Song, and Third Aunt Song to sit at the same table. Second Aunt Song picked up some dishes for Fourth Aunt Song and started eating her own.

Although Song Ergu and the others had a decent life, they could only eat dishes like this a few times a year, so they ate with great devotion and could not stop eating. Only after their stomachs were filled did they start talking.

"I didn't expect that after being married for so long, we can still eat Uncle An's cooking. We didn't get to eat it many times in the village before. It's really delicious." Aunt Song said with emotion while eating.

"Come back often. Whenever you want to eat, we'll ask Uncle An to cook for you. Uncle An will come when he's free." Mrs. Song swallowed the food in her mouth and said,

"Sister-in-law, you are really different now." Third Aunt Song sighed. If she had said this before, Second Aunt Song would have just remained silent or said a few words awkwardly.

"Yes, people always change, whether for the better or for the worse. I think I am fine the way I am now." Mrs. Song thought about her past self and said with a smile.

"Indeed, it's better for you to be like this now. We used to think you were too good-tempered, even better than my sister." Aunt Song said, recalling the past.

"It's all in the past, just let it go. You're not in a hurry to go back tonight, are you? Stay here for one night, it won't be too late to go back after dinner tomorrow." Song Ersao changed the subject.

Hearing this, Li Qing and his children were obviously excited. They had never lived in such a big house before. The food they ate today was better than what they had eaten during the Chinese New Year, and there were more fun things to do than at home. They really wanted to stay here for one night.

Second Aunt Song was a little hesitant. Third Aunt Song looked at her husband Han Zhuang's table and saw that he was drunk and his face was red, so she smiled and said, "Okay, then stay here tonight and go back tomorrow."

Aunt Song didn't think much about it after hearing this. After all, she couldn't walk back with the two children. It was almost dark now. Thinking of this, the table at the man's side started to make a noise.

"Light up the lights, the new house needs to be bright and beautiful."

"Let Boss Song go. Boss Song is tall enough so he doesn't even need a ladder."

"Big Liu, you use the ladder to light the lanterns, and Boss Song can light the candlesticks on the wall. This is my suggestion, haha."

They didn't even eat, and each of them ran like a child to get a ladder to light the lamp. Some of them also ran to the house to light the lamp.

In addition to the candlesticks on the wall, there were also many candlesticks placed on the wall, so everyone lit them up.

There were candlesticks on the corridors of the house, and Song Dazhuang lit them up. In an instant, the house was brightly lit.

The moon tonight was big and round, and the moonlight and candlelight lit up the entire courtyard. Everyone continued to eat and drink in this light.

After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, they worked together to clean up the tables and chairs. The men moved the tables and chairs back home, while the women went to the kitchen to help boil water and wash dishes. A group of women chattering in the kitchen made the entire new house lively.

"Little sister, this faucet in your house is really useful. Just move the thing blocking the water outlet away and the water will flow out directly. When we build a new house in the future, we will also use this method to draw water."

My aunt filled the bucket with water from the tap and poured the water into the boiling pot and said,

"Yes, I think this method is great. You don't have to work so hard to fetch water. In fact, you don't even need to dig three wells. Just dig one as a backup." The second aunt also said,

"Three wells are just right. I'll need water to grow vegetables in the backyard, but I'm too lazy to fetch water from here.

The one outside the kitchen is a spare one, so it can be used if there is any problem with the faucet here.

I was also worried that there would be problems with the tap at home, so I could use the well in the backyard, but it seemed like it was not enough. "Song Ersao talked about her calculations at the time.

The people present thought it made sense, so they stopped talking about it. After washing the dishes and putting them in the cabinet under the kitchen counter, everyone praised the kitchen counter for being well made.

This cooking table is made of stone and blue bricks. It is sturdy, waterproof and moisture-proof, and can hold a lot of things.

Hearing everyone's praise, Mrs. Song was also happy and kept smiling. It was only after she came to use the kitchen that she realized how convenient it was. She thought her daughter's idea was the best.
