Two days later, Mo Shuisheng arrived at Mo Yuan's new home with a group of people. They brought brushes, paint, and other tools to repaint the walls of Mo Yuan's new home.
After a day of hard work, the walls of Mo Yuan's new home were completely refreshed, presenting a bright and clean white. This means that the construction of Mo Yuan's new home has been officially completed. He only needs to wait a few days for the moisture on the walls to completely evaporate before he can move into his new home.
To celebrate this important moment, Mo Yuan specially invited everyone to a wrap party and chose to hold the feast in the courtyard of the new house to add to the joyful atmosphere and commemorative significance.
Although the main house would still be a few days before it was ready to move into, the kitchen was already usable. So, early in the morning, Mo Yuan went into town with Gouzi to buy groceries and drinks, and upon returning, they busied themselves preparing a sumptuous lunch.
The eldest sister and others helped out, some washing vegetables, some chopping them, all busy and happy.
Mo Yuan then personally cooked, showcasing his superb culinary skills. At noon, a sumptuous meal was laid out on the table, its aroma filling the air. Among the dishes, braised pork was undoubtedly the most popular, becoming Mo Yuan's signature dish.
In addition, other delicious dishes await Mo Shuisheng and the others to enjoy.
When Mo Shuisheng arrived with his construction team, the entire courtyard was already filled with an enticing aroma. They walked into the courtyard without any ceremony and saw tables and chairs set up inside.
The furniture was clearly borrowed from a neighbor, as no other household in the village owned so much. Meanwhile, the others were busy preparing lunch and hadn't yet arranged the tables and chairs properly.
This situation is very common in rural areas. Whenever there is a banquet or feast, not only do people need to borrow tables and chairs, but they also have to borrow bowls and chopsticks from their neighbors.
Mo Shuisheng and the others didn't feel constrained by this. They and Mo Yuan were from the same village, and their relationship had developed significantly over time; they were very familiar with each other. Therefore, they actively participated in arranging the tables and chairs and quickly completed the task.
In the end, a total of five tables were set up. It turned out that in addition to Mo Shuisheng's construction team, even the people from the brick kiln had been invited by Mo Yuan. Everyone had provided a lot of help during this period, so this completion celebration was a must to celebrate together and share the joy of success.
After the tables and chairs were set out, everyone else took their seats, while Mo Shuisheng went into the kitchen and chatted with Mo Yuan, who was busy at work.
Mo Yuan looked up and saw Mo Shuisheng. A smile spread across his face, and he greeted him warmly as "Brother Shuisheng." Mo Shuisheng didn't stand on ceremony and reached into the bamboo basket, where Mo Yuan had just fried some crispy pork.
He plans to make two ways to eat crispy pork later, one to eat on its own and the other to make crispy pork soup.
The freshly fried crispy pork was fragrant and delicious. This detail also shows that Mo Yuan and Mo Shuisheng's relationship has become very close. At the beginning, Mo Shuisheng certainly wouldn't have been so relaxed, much less dared to act rashly. But now their relationship has become very harmonious.
Mo Yuan didn't mind Mo Shuisheng's actions. Instead, he asked kindly, "How is it, Brother Shuisheng? Is it delicious?" This naturally drew repeated praise from Mo Shuisheng. This kind of food wasn't easy to come by in the past, so it tasted especially delicious now.
Then, Mo Shuisheng asked with concern, "Is there anything else I can help with?" He genuinely hoped to assist Mo Yuan. However, Mo Yuan replied with a smile, "I'm almost done here, it'll be over soon, Brother Shuisheng, please don't interfere!"
Nevertheless, Mo Shuisheng insisted on helping, and in the end Mo Yuan had no choice but to let him take the prepared cold dishes to the yard first.
Mo Shuisheng then noticed that many plates of prepared cold dishes were already laid out on the cutting board next to him. He saw a plate of bright green green beans, their vibrant color making his mouth water.
There was also a plate of cucumber salad with pig's head meat. Although it wasn't a rare dish, it was a precious treat for Mo Shuisheng. In particular, the two dishes made by Mo Yuan looked incredibly tempting.
"Are these soybeans? Why are they so green? They're different from the ones I usually eat," Mo Shuisheng asked curiously.
In the countryside, green beans are a common sight, especially in summer when every household grows a lot. Many people even dry them to save for autumn and winter. Mo Shuisheng was naturally familiar with them; he was used to stir-frying them and would occasionally blanch them and make a cold salad with minced garlic. However, the green beans Mo Yuan made were even greener than raw green beans, which naturally piqued Mo Shuisheng's curiosity.
Mo Yuan quickly explained, "It's a little trick. I chose tender green beans, and when blanching them, I added some salt and a few drops of oil to the water. This makes the green beans not only beautiful in color but also very tender. In addition, I specially went to the county town to buy sesame paste, which, when paired with garlic sauce, is simply a perfect match for summer and makes a great snack with drinks. As for the pig's head meat, I specially bought two pig heads and braised them fresh. They've been simmering in the pot for two or three hours now. After they've cooled completely, I'll slice them and serve them with refreshing cucumber shreds. It tastes absolutely delicious!"
As he spoke, Mo Yuan even picked up a piece of pig's head meat with his chopsticks and showed it to Mo Shuisheng.
As Mo Shuisheng listened to Mo Yuan's introduction, his mouth watered.
He eagerly took the piece of pig's head meat from Mo Yuan's chopsticks and quickly put it in his mouth, wanting to taste this delicacy. As soon as it entered his mouth, the aroma lingered on his lips and teeth. The pig's head meat was stewed until it was tender and flavorful, and Mo Shuisheng almost bit off his tongue.
After listening to Mo Yuan's introduction and tasting it himself, he was filled with admiration for Mo Yuan: "Brother, I'm truly impressed. With your skills, you could make a fortune just by cooking, even if you did nothing else!"
