Nan Zhi took out the things that Song Hanyan had prepared last night. "Wei Guo, I'll give you some more things later. Go and buy them, and while you're at it, deliver a letter to these families."
"yes!"
As Wei Guo walked away, Wei Min stood up.
"Master, what about me? What should I do?"
Now that everything is almost ready, Nanzhi wants to prepare some meat and vegetables.
"Go to the field and catch eight ducks, then clean them up."
"Yes!" Wei Min then asked, "Master, do you have a knife?"
You need a knife to kill a duck.
"You have a sword in your hand, you can use that."
Wei Min held the sword in his hand like a precious treasure.
Why does the master always have his precious sword at his disposal? First he was digging potatoes, now he's butchering ducks.
Wei Min couldn't help but feel sorry for his sword for a few seconds.
After Weimin left, Nanzhi thought that there were many people in the village, and preparing dishes would be too much for her and Wu Nanshuang to handle alone.
The lack of manpower is a big problem.
Should we recruit people from the village or bring some people back from the restaurant?
Nanzhi hesitated.
"Zhizhi." A voice came from the doorway.
It's Grandma.
Nan Zhi hurriedly went out and saw Old Lady Nan leading several people.
"Zhizhi, Grandma sees you're busy here and will find some people to come over for you."
Nanzhi was overjoyed; her grandmother still loved her the most.
The people who were called were Granny Liu, Li Xunfang, and Aunt Qian Lanfang.
Grandma Liu was in high spirits when good things happened. The old woman finally had a chance to use her skills and was even earning money at the cured meat factory.
She was very grateful to Nam Gyi.
"Zhizhi, just call Grandma if you want to do something. Don't let my age fool you, I'm still very nimble."
Li Xunfang chimed in, "Me too. Just ask if you need anything."
Qian Lanfang, who is usually very talkative, was unusually quiet.
Because of what happened to her older sister, Qian Lanfang now feels guilty whenever she sees Nanzhi.
The plan was to find someone familiar to help Zhizhi with the work, and also let her older sister earn some pocket money. Unexpectedly, it almost got Zhizhi into a lawsuit.
But since everyone else had spoken, she, as the aunt, couldn't remain silent.
"Zhizhi, I think the same way as them. It just depends on whether Zhizhi will like Auntie's cooking."
Nan Zhi knew that she felt guilty because of what had happened before, and Old Madam Nan had said so more than once.
Nanzhi smiled and said, "What are you saying, Auntie? We're family."
Upon hearing the words "family," Qian Lanfang was immediately moved to tears.
“Mother-in-law, what kind of poison did that bitch take? Such a sensible girl, if she were my daughter, I would be laughing. How could her family have the heart to kick her out?”
Grandma Nan's face stiffened.
He looked at his eldest daughter-in-law reproachfully: "Why are you talking nonsense on such a joyous occasion?"
Qian Lanfang reacted instantly, looked at Nan Zhi, and was relieved to see that she had no emotion on her face.
"Zhizhi, don't blame your aunt, I'm just a little excited."
Nam Gyi certainly wouldn't care about anything.
Back to the main topic: "Grandma, I've already bought everything, but I don't know what dishes to serve for banquets in our village."
Qian Lanfang happily chimed in, "You don't understand. In our rural areas, we're all about the presentation. There have to be at least eight dishes, half cold and half hot."
Grandma Nan nodded: "You're different. This is a promotion. It can be simple, but the dishes must be substantial."
After discussing with several people for a long time, Nanzhi finally decided to cook ten dishes.
They strive for perfection.
Now that everyone's here, it's time to get busy.
Nanzhi took out the fish she had bought, and several people took charge of scaling them.
At this moment, Nan Chungu and Nan Chunxian returned carrying baskets.
"Sister, we're back."
Both baskets were full of crayfish.
Grandma Liu asked curiously, "Nan girl, why do these things in the basket look so familiar?"
The more I look at it, the more it resembles a mantis shrimp from the river.
Li Xunfang thought so too.
Grandma Nan immediately said, "You don't know, there are plenty of these things in our river."
Grandma Liu exclaimed in surprise, "It really is a mantis shrimp that bites!"
"Zhizhi, why did you bring this back?" Li Xunfang asked, puzzled.
Nanzhi: "Auntie, this is for eating."
Before Nan Zhi could explain, Old Lady Nan said to the others, "Look at you all, you can tell you've never eaten this before. It's delicious."
Qian Lanfang: "Zhizhi did it once before, and it smelled so good that I wanted to swallow my tongue."
Grandma Liu didn't believe it.
She would believe it if you said you pinched her tongue, but is it really true that the tongue was cut off?
These red mantis shrimp have very hard shells; how could you possibly eat them?
Grandma Nan said, "You still don't know any better. When Zhizhi is ready the day after tomorrow, you can have a good taste."
Grandma Liu and Li Xunfang still harbored doubts.
I heard that some people in the village are raising several ponds of mantis shrimp. What's the point of raising these things? Even chickens wouldn't eat them.
These men were experienced workers who had worked for many years, so they were very quick and efficient.
The more than twenty fish were quickly processed.
Wu Nanshuang prepared the seasonings and marinated the fish according to her master's instructions.
Even Grandma Nan felt sorry for the handfuls of spices.
She knew her granddaughter must have had a reason for doing this, so she simply went to do other chores and stopped watching.
Grandma Liu is someone who can't keep things to herself.
"Nan girl, isn't it a waste to pour out so many seasonings?"
Nanzhi was making cuts on the fish when she looked up and replied, "Grandma, fish marinated like this won't taste fishy at all."
"Really?" Li Xunfang asked curiously.
She made fish soup from the fish her children caught in the river, but to her surprise, no one in her family could stand the taste.
