Chapter 265: Accounts

The women and children were still chatting while eating, but the men were much more anxious and had no time to talk. They just poured the food into their bowls, found a place to sit down and started eating!

The men in the village deliberately didn't order too much from their first bowl, so they could finish their meal quickly and get a second one. This was based on their previous experience in Qili Village. Whether they were helping out or attending a banquet, the host would always make extra food. If the first bowl was too full, by the time they finished eating, they would definitely have nothing left to order from the second bowl.

And only fill the first bowl half full, and then quickly add more when you are done, and you can have a full bowl and a half!

The men of the Lei family didn't understand. They saw that everyone around them except them went to the kitchen to get more rice. It was not until they came back with the second bowl of rice that they understood after asking.

No, when they saw such delicious food, they wanted to fill their bowls until they could not hold more. But when they turned around, they saw that the men in the village only filled their bowls half full, and their faces turned red with embarrassment.

So they wanted to have a second bowl? What did their previous shame and embarrassment mean?

After eating everything in the bowl without leaving even a grain of rice, the man from the Lei family reluctantly carried the bowl and chopsticks into the kitchen.

There is also a dinner. You don’t need to take the dishes home. Just wash them in the kitchen and use them for the dinner in the evening.

"Boss, why did you guys only eat one bowl?" Liu Cuihua asked in confusion. "I made this according to Shen Qing's instructions. I added a lot of seasonings that we usually wouldn't buy. Is it not delicious?"

Wouldn't she be wasting the precious seasoning?

Lei Chuntian was also confused: "Big brother, second brother, you are full with just one bowl?"

She knew how much her elder brother and his friends ate on weekdays. They could even drink three bowls of the unpalatable acorn powder and wild vegetable porridge, so how come one bowl of delicious food was enough for them?

Is it because there is enough oil and water?

When Lei Erfu heard the question, he asked anxiously, "Are there any more? Aren't they all gone long ago?"

Fang Ting laughed and said, "How is that possible? Shen Qing was afraid that you wouldn't have enough to eat, so he arranged the men here. Look at these five big iron pots, three for stewing vegetables and two for cooking rice.

It's too late to cook the rice after it's been beaten, but they've made thousands of white flour buns at home these past two days. As soon as the rice is cooked, we immediately move it to one pot and heat water in another pot to heat the buns."

The buns are already steamed, so they only need to be heated up. You don’t even need to burn an incense stick before or after. Just boil the water and steam them on top. It will be fully supplied!

Lei Lao Er swallowed his saliva and said, "Thousands of white flour buns?"

"It's well-made, fluffy and soft, with the fresh fragrance of white flour. Come and try it. It's delicious even without any side dishes!" Liu Cuihua greeted.

The men of the Lei family wanted to eat more, but they put away their bowls and chopsticks because they thought there was no more. When they heard that there were still white flour buns, they walked forward one by one.

I saw a pile of white steamed buns in the big iron pot, each one was bigger than an adult man’s fist!

Xia Tian suggested, "Let's get some spicy mutton offal. Break open the steamed bun and wrap it inside. It's better than the other two dishes. After you finish eating, have a bowl of fried tofu soup to quench your thirst."

The men of the Lei family hurriedly nodded in agreement.

When the man from the Lei family came with a steamed bun in one hand and a bowl of vegetables in the other, the other men were stunned.

And steamed buns? Then what about their previous little tricks?

When I entered the kitchen, I saw a big pot full of white flour buns. I thought that Shen Qing was not afraid that they would have enough to eat, but was only afraid that they would not have enough to eat, right?

Rice and white flour buns, everyone, young and old, men and women ate their fill, and they felt like they had never eaten so full before!

It felt like even if all the delicacies from land and sea were placed in front of them, they couldn't eat a single bite.

"Come on, take some freshly-made pancakes, wrap them with bacon, fried garlic, and dried chives, and roll them into pancakes yourself.

Afterward, have a bowl of mutton bone and white radish soup with white flour buns. It's your choice." Having learned from the experience at noon, Liu Cuihua shouted in advance.

The men who heard the shouting felt that they were doing it again!

A wrap with vegetables? The Lei family men wondered what kind of novel way to eat it was.

But it sounds delicious with both bacon and dried meat!

Although white flour buns are delicious, people still prefer spring rolls.

After taking a big gulp, Lei Sangui was so happy that he almost cried. Lei Da's mouth was so full that he couldn't speak, but just nodded continuously.

Liu Cuihua and her two sisters-in-law said, "Let's make this dish when we get back."

There isn’t much else at home, but the most is bacon!

Even if there is no smoked meat later, fresh meat is better. She learned from Shen Qing that after the fresh meat is cooked, the meat is removed and the skeleton is thrown into the pot and added to the stew with cabbage or small green grass and white radish;

Stir-fry the meat and garlic or sauerkraut over high heat, and then wrap them with pancakes after they are taken out of the pan. You will have staple food, vegetables, meat and soup, all in one pot.

Fang Ting and Ma Pandidi nodded heavily, wishing they could do it tomorrow.

Although they don’t have much white flour or rice at home, the pancakes made with cornmeal are also very delicious, and they buy enough cornmeal!

There were also tofu and dried fruits. In the afternoon, Zheng Hui and her group came to talk to them specifically. They each ordered 50 kilograms and cooked them when they returned home.

While serving food and pancakes to the men in the village, Ma Pandi couldn't help but sigh, "The dishes at your banquet are so good. I never thought they could be this good."

The village where she grew up was even poorer than the Lei family's. Not to mention the dishes, even having a banquet was impossible.

Fang Ting was also filled with emotion: "I've really broadened my horizons."

Men: .....It’s not that the food at their banquet is good, it’s that the food at Shen Qing’s banquet is good!

When they were in Qili Village, how many banquets had they ever had? They were lucky to be full, but had they ever had meat or fine grains?

They also learned a lot today...

After two sumptuous meals, each family was given a pound of sesame candy as a return gift when they left.

Sesame malt sugar

The malt sugar is repeatedly pulled while hot, forming fine holes in the middle, as many as more than a hundred, which makes the malt sugar more crispy and sweet. The outer layer is then coated with early-roasted white sesame seeds, which adds a layer of sesame fragrance to the crispness and sweetness, making the taste richer.

No one had thought about the return gift. Having two wedding banquets was already very good, but now there was a return gift and it was sesame malt candy!

The children were the happiest, and on such a happy occasion all the parents were very generous, taking out a few sticks, breaking them into pieces, and letting everyone in the family taste them.

The crisp and sweet taste when you take a bite is as if you can hear the sound of silver jumping out.

Okay, earn money here and spend it here~

After the guests had gone, Jiang Xiangdong checked every corner of the house, closed the yard door and bolted it.

In the main room, all the family members gathered together. Under the flickering oil lamp, Jiang Xiangzhong had a book in front of him and a pen in his hand.

In the middle of the room, Shen Qing began to count the accounts.
