Chapter 243: Handing over the Token of Token at the Engagement Banquet]
Then, Qin Yian brought something back home after work for the next two days, either seasonal fruits and vegetables or wild rabbits, but they didn't eat them, and kept them all to entertain relatives and friends during the engagement.
Ten days later, it seemed as if it was not her engagement banquet. Qin Yian knew nothing about anything, and she was not worried about anything.
On the ninth day, seeing them counting the dishes and storing the things they brought back without eating, Qin Yian decided to do something.
After work, looking at the mountains of fat cattle and sheep in the space, Qin Yian thought about it and exchanged for a slaughterhouse.
"Leave the slaughterhouse to me for management. After slaughtering, I will put the cattle and sheep in a restricted room and be the owner. When are we going to eat a roasted whole lamb?" Lu Bao stared at the fast-running sheep with green eyes, looking at the big lamb legs through the wool.
"Kill it today. My engagement party is tomorrow. Kill two more and I'll take some back." Qin Yian was also greedy. Looking at the smooth and strong lamb leg, she wondered how chewy and crispy it would be when roasted. She gulped and swallowed her saliva.
It wasn't her, but Lu Bao beside her. She was even more greedy than her and flew towards the lamb like an arrow.
"I'll go right away. Haha. I want to eat roasted whole lamb."
In a blink of an eye, three big fat sheep and a yak were missing from the mountain. They were already lying in the slaughterhouse and turned into meat.
Lu Bao carried the meat to the quiet room.
A second later, it flew out again and set up the oven and grill, and put on the secret seasoning.
"You roast it, I'll take the mutton and beef back first."
It was unknown how long it would take to roast the mutton, so Qin Yian just planned to wait until it was roasted and eat it. He found a sack to put the two muttons in, and then put 50 kilograms of beef in the sack and tied it to the bicycle.
He rode towards Shichahai with the meat.
There were a lot of things to do recently, so the whole family lived in the house the day after the process was confirmed, so it was convenient for them to be busy.
Arriving at the door of the house, Qin Yian pushed the cart and shouted inside: "I'm back, come quickly, I brought some things back."
"I'm coming."
Lu Jinghe, who was preparing food in the yard, ran out and saw several bags of things piled high on the back seat of her car. He took a breath, quickened his pace and ran over, and shouted to the back: "Uncle, come here."
Lu Jinghe ignored the things in the car and first pulled Qin Yian to look at the wound on her waist.
Qin Yian dodged for a while because she was afraid of itching, and waved her hands: "It's okay, I asked someone to help put it up, I didn't use force, the wound can't burst open."
Lu Jinghe checked the outside of the wound to make sure it was okay before he felt relieved.
Qin Jiaguo put down the spatula and ran over. His eyes widened after seeing it: "What did you get back? So much?"
Qin Yian patted his pockets and said proudly: "Good stuff, game. I happened to come across it today and bought it. Tomorrow's dishes will look better."
"My lady, please sit over there." Qin Jiaguo took the bicycle and pushed it to the food preparation area. "Jinghe, let's get it down and take a look."
Qin Yian nodded, handed the place over to them, and sat by the brick-built stove with a cup of tea, watching the fire inside and the meat being braising in the pot.
Qin Jiaguo exclaimed: "Wow, so much meat, this is the meat of two whole sheep, I saw eight legs, my lady, you are so lucky, now there is a lot of meat, and the bones can be used to make soup." Seeing
such fresh and excellent ingredients, Lu Jinghe happily carried the meat into the house.
Qin Yian took a look at the roasted lamb in the room, which was already emitting a fragrant aroma. He was so greedy that he suggested: "Dad, there is so much meat, why don't we get some to eat tonight, to reward the busy family, and fry some crispy lamb chops."
"Okay, I'll do it." Lu Jinghe in the house raised his head and responded, and took out a kitchen knife swiftly and started chopping lamb chops.
This made Qin Yian very happy. He brought tea to watch him work and fed him something from time to time. Lu Jinghe was also impressed and became more motivated to work.
It is said that the products of the space must be top-notch. After eating mutton, the body is better. Everyone had a good sleep, and the tiredness was swept away. They were in a very good state to welcome the engagement banquet and receive guests with full energy. There
were not many people on the day of the engagement banquet. There were only six tables, all of which were relatives of the two families.
As mentioned before, Qin Yian really didn't have much to do. In the front link, someone sat there as a mascot, saying hello and smiling.
That is, Qin Yian only really participated when exchanging tokens.
Qin Yian took out a small and exquisite pendant from his red purse, on which hung a kitchen knife as big as the joint of a thumb. Hearing what Xia's mother said, he didn't want to show off, so he excluded gold and silver from all materials and made it directly with pure iron.
Lu Jinghe smiled triumphantly and took out a token from his bag. Coincidentally, it was the same kitchen knife necklace, but this one was made of brass.
When both parties took them out, the parents were stunned for a moment.
Whose engagement token is a kitchen knife? Not just one, but two?
How strange!
The two parties smiled happily when they saw each other's tokens, happily exchanged the tokens and helped each other put them on.
Qin Yian smiled and looked at the elders below to explain the meaning of it.
"You must be very curious. There are so many things I can give you, why did I give you this alone? Because we had a deeper contact and understanding because of a kitchen knife. Although we knew each other and met twice before, it was only when he handed over the kitchen knife when we met for the third time in Beijing that I had a different opinion of him. I knew that we were the same kind of people, with common cognition and similar ideas. You can say that this kitchen knife is our matchmaker and a witness to our relationship."
Lu Jinghe held the kitchen knife necklace tightly around his neck, nodded vigorously, and then said:
"Yes, this kitchen knife is also our mutual experience. I believe that everyone can see from the tokens we have today that we have a high degree of tacit understanding. It can be said that we are in tune with each other and everything is in sync. I hope that under the witness and protection of this kitchen knife, we can get rid of all bad things, grow together, rise step by step, and be happy!"
