Chapter 796 New Year (Part 2)
After Lu Xiaoxiao finished her meal, she heard the voices of Monkey and others in the yard, so she got off the kang and walked towards the yard.
"Monkey, how did you get so many pieces of wood back?" Lu Xiaoxiao asked the monkey after seeing the twelve pieces of wood placed on the ground.
"The place where we pull wood is closer today, so we brought back some extra, so you don't have to chop wood for the whole year."
"Thank you, you guys absorbed it quickly. I made you lunch."
"We'll be there soon."
While Monkey and the others went to wash their hands, Lu Xiaoxiao brought the warm mutton soup in the pot to the table in the main room, and then she took twelve steamed buns from the steamer for Monkey and the others.
"Lu Xiaoxiao, you don't have to cook so many delicious foods for us. We can just eat steamed buns and sweet potatoes." The gray cat said to Lu Xiaoxiao after seeing the mutton on the table.
Gray Cat knew that Lu Xiaoxiao was the only one left at home. Although Lu Xiaoxiao received subsidies, they would no longer be available when she turned eighteen. So they couldn't be so shameless as to take advantage of Lu Xiaoxiao.
After hearing what Gray Cat said, Lu Xiaoxiao probably guessed what Gray Cat was thinking, so she said to him, "Your boss hunted a wild goat yesterday, so I have mutton for you to eat. If you came to my house at other times, I would definitely only treat you with sweet potato and corn grits porridge."
"Eat, and then take the food back to the mountain." Zhang Xu said to the gray cat and the little girl after hearing the conversation between the gray cat and the little girl.
"yes."
"Lu Xiaoxiao, the brothers in the mountains would like to invite you to come to the mountain tomorrow to celebrate the New Year with them." Monkey looked at Lu Xiaoxiao and said after finishing his meal.
When Lu Xiaoxiao heard what Monkey said, she did not give an immediate answer, because she had originally planned to go to the cowshed with Zhang Xu tomorrow night to celebrate New Year's Eve with her master and others. But now Monkey and others invited her to celebrate New Year's Eve in the mountains. If she refused, they would probably be very disappointed.
Zhang Xu saw the little girl's brows furrowed in worry, so he said to her, "I'll accompany you to the cowshed at noon tomorrow, and I'll take you up the mountain in the evening."
When Lu Xiaoxiao heard Zhang Xu's words, she suddenly understood. Why hadn't she thought of this solution before?
"Monkey, go back and tell the brothers on the mountain that I will go up there tomorrow night to celebrate New Year's Eve with them."
"Okay, let's go back to the mountain first."
"Wait a minute, in addition to carrying the jar of wine up the mountain, you also need to carry the four baskets of steamed buns in the yard up the mountain."
"good."
After Monkey and the others left, Lu Xiaoxiao said to Zhang Xu, "Zhang Xu, since we are going to have lunch with Master and the others tomorrow at noon, some dishes need to be prepared today, so you have to help me this afternoon."
"good."
After hearing Zhang Xu's answer, Lu Xiaoxiao began to think about the menu. Ten minutes later, she had decided on the menu for tomorrow's lunch. She planned to cook six dishes tomorrow, which are: braised fish, mutton and carrot soup, beef stewed with potatoes, braised food, pork stewed with vermicelli and hot pot chicken.
Lu Xiaoxiao plans to prepare the braised food and hot pot chicken today so that she doesn’t have to rush tomorrow.
Lu Xiaoxiao went to the yard, took out two chickens, two pig's trotters, a piece of beef and a piece of beef tendon from the snow pile, and then returned to the kitchen.
"Zhang Xu, come here for a moment."
After hearing what the little girl said, Zhang Xu put down the saw in his hand and walked towards the kitchen.
