When she got home, Jia Zhang was still sewing shoe soles.
"Mom, how many pairs of shoes have you made? Are they enough for so many people in our family?"
Jia Dongsheng said jokingly.
"You bad boy, you only know how to say sarcastic words."
Jia Zhang knew exactly what Jia Dongsheng meant and rolled her eyes. "Don't worry, your shoes, Banggen's, and mine are all ready. I'm making two pairs for Xiaodang'er now, and I'll make some for your sister-in-law later."
By ranking the Jia and Zhang families, we can see the status of the Jia family from top to bottom.
As the main labor force, Jia Dongsheng ranks the highest. His sister-in-law Qin Huairu is a married daughter-in-law and has the lowest status. Even though Jia Zhang is patriarchal and Xiao Dang'er is not liked by her, because of her surname Jia, in Jia Zhang's heart, he still ranks ahead of Qin Huairu.
"Haha, okay, the weather is getting hotter and hotter, I guess I'll be able to wear it in a few days."
"It will only take about ten days to wear it." Jia Zhang looked up at the sky, but found that the clouds in the sky were a little thick, as if it was going to rain.
"Dongsheng, will it rain tomorrow?" asked Jia Zhang.
"Um?"
Hearing this, Jia Dongsheng also looked up and said uncertainly, "It's not certain. If it really rains, then all my cleaning work will be in vain."
It’s impossible to fish when it rains, so wouldn’t the fish promised to Yan Fugui be lost?
"You asked Yan Fugui to wash your car?" Jia Zhang said in surprise, "When did Old Man Yan become so generous that he would actually wash your car for no reason?"
"hehe."
Jia Dongsheng smiled and told Yan Fugui that he had promised to give him a fish he would catch tomorrow, which made Jia Zhang laugh.
"This stingy old man Yan, if it really rains tomorrow, he will be in big trouble. I guess he won't be able to eat for three days."
After laughing for a while, Jia Zhang said, "Dongsheng, look at the locust flowers I dried for you. They seem to be dry now, right?"
"Yeah?"
Upon hearing this, Jia Dongsheng immediately came to the side and spread a piece of rainproof cloth on the ground, on which he placed the locust flowers he had picked.
Reaching out and touching it, it was dry. Jia Dongsheng smiled and said, "Mom, let's wait and see tomorrow. If it really rains, I'll go out and get some lard. Then I'll make some oil shuttles and use some lard residue to make locust flower buns."
"Can we get lard from this?" Jia Zhang asked expectantly.
"Leave it to me."
"Now that you mention it, I'm really a little greedy."
Jia Zhang swallowed several times, as if she was swallowing saliva.
"Haha, after the buns are made, you can eat a few more." Jia Dongsheng said with a smile.
"You'd better stop talking. I'm getting hungry."
Jia Zhang asked, "Dongsheng, what are we having for dinner tonight?"
"Just now, Xu Damao said he was hosting and asked me to come over to help him cook. He said he would kill a chicken and a duck, and the vegetables were quite hard."
"Then bring some back for me and Bang Geng later."
Jia Zhang said this bluntly and didn't feel it was inappropriate at all.
"Mom, Xu Damao is treating us, I can't bring it back for you."
Jia Dongsheng wasn't that thick-skinned, but he still said, "But if you want to eat it, I'll get you a chicken or a duck tomorrow and stew it for you."
"Well, that's fine too. It's a good deal for Xu Damao." Jia Zhang muttered a few times.
"I think we still have eggs at home. Let's fry some eggs and stir-fry some shredded potatoes."
"Don't worry about it. I'll let Huairu cook it later. You can go to the backyard and do your work." Jia Zhang waved her hand, indicating that he didn't have to worry about what to eat at home.
"Okay, I'll go over first."
"Yeah." Jia Zhang continued to sew the soles of shoes, while Jia Dongsheng went into the house, said hello to Qin Huairu who was in confinement, and then went to the backyard.
"Dongsheng, come here." Xu Damao had been waiting for a long time.
"Well, Damao, what are you going to do with these chickens and ducks?" Jia Dongsheng asked.
"Hiss, I really haven't thought about it yet, but you're the chef, you have the final say."
"Is it just dinner tonight, or wine and meat?"
"Of course I have to drink."
Xu Damao said as a matter of course: "Dongsheng, don't look at how readily that Shazhu agreed just now. I suspect that this thief Sun is going to eat my meal and then beat me up after he finishes eating it."
"So, I had to drink, and I had to get him drunk."
"Haha, you know Shazhu pretty well." Jia Dongsheng laughed when he heard Xu Damao's words.
"Hey, this thief Sun, how could I not understand him?"
"Sun thief, who are you talking about behind his back?"
No matter how you keep talking, mention Cao Cao and he will appear. Sha Zhu suddenly appears, and the anger that had just subsided rises again.
"Silly Zhu, you're such a fool! There are people who pick up money, but there's no such thing as picking up insults."
Xu Damao was unhappy, and Zhang Kou said, "Dongsheng and I are working on how to make this dish. Why are you interrupting us?"
"Hmph, Xu Damao, don't let me know that you're saying bad things about me behind my back, or Grandpa will definitely teach you a lesson."
"I'm not afraid of you. I have two bottles of Wuliangye liquor. If you're brave enough, let's have a drinking contest. Do you dare?"
Xu Damao used the method of provoking Sha Zhu and spoke coldly to him.
"I wouldn't dare, Sun. Just wait and see how I get you drunk." Sha Zhu fought back without showing any weakness.
"Haha, okay, you two drink some wine and I'll eat some meat."
Since we are going to drink, let’s not make chicken stewed with mushrooms, but braised chicken pieces. Of course, the duck should be made into beer duck. Among the dishes that go with alcohol, beer duck is the most suitable way to cook duck.
While watching Xu Damao and Sha Zhu bickering, Jia Dongsheng was busy cooking. It’s more interesting to watch these two funny guys bickering than watching TV dramas.
After more than an hour of hard work, these two dishes were finally ready.
But in addition to the duck and chicken, Jia Dongsheng also grabbed a plate of shredded potatoes and made some stir-fried black fungus with green onions.
It’s amazing what you can find in Xu Damao’s house. Almost all of them are mountain products, and you can find them here.
The food is ready and the guests are already here.
In addition to Jia Dongsheng, Sha Zhu and Yan Fugui, Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong were also invited by Xu Damao.
Xu Damao is really good at dealing with human relationships, and it is almost difficult to find fault with him.
Of course, if you really provoke her, I'm sorry, she will be merciless when she attacks you.
Isn’t this what happened in the play when Yan Fugui and Liu Haizhong were tricked? The two old guys’ coffins were ruined.
However, on this point, Jia Dongsheng did not think that there was anything wrong with what Xu Damao did. After all, it was Yan Fugui and Liu Haizhong who were the first to be dissatisfied, so of course Xu Damao could not be blamed for fighting back.
Even if this matter was put on Jia Dongsheng, Jia Dongsheng would not tolerate them. He might even do worse than Xu Damao. He would avoid trouble if he could.
But once someone provokes him, Jia Dongsheng will turn evil and become ten times more cruel.
