Chapter 168 The Banquet: Xiang Dong was stunned!



Over time, fewer and fewer people ate fish.

Therefore, this thing is very cheap even in the county town.

If I can learn this skill, my family will have one more meat dish in the future.

"Zhizhi, could you teach your aunt how to cook fish?"

Nan Zhi: "No problem, I'll teach you now."

Nanzhi had no secrets and told them everything about how to marinate and cook fish.

Qian Lanfang: "I see. So, if that's the case, drinking more fish soup is just as nutritious as other meats."

“Yes, mainly because it’s cheap,” Li Xunfang added.

After marinating the fish, Nanzhi starts frying it until golden brown, while ensuring the fish remains intact.

As they picked the vegetables, the group secretly marveled at their skill.

I never imagined fish could be cooked like that.

Nanzhi takes out the fried fish. When it's time to eat, just heat the fish up and then sprinkle the prepared sauce on top.

Grandma Liu was stunned. "Old woman, your granddaughter is incredibly capable."

Grandma Nan smiled, her eyes crinkling. "Of course."

That's her granddaughter.

Not only that, but his two grandsons are both quite good.

Qian Lanfang couldn't help but sigh, "I wish I had such a diligent, capable, and intelligent daughter."

Unfortunately, her womb was uncooperative; she gave birth to two sons, and then nothing more.

Li Xunfang sighed inwardly. She did have two, but unfortunately, neither of them was as capable as Nanzhi.

Before we knew it, the appointed day arrived.

The family got up early because there were so many people coming today that they were too busy to handle everything, so Pei Wuyou, Yue Manwan, and even Jing Ji came to help.

Nan Zhi got up early, and Song Hanyan was in charge of starting the fire.

Wei Guowei and Wei Min set up tables and chairs in the courtyard, with more than twenty tables of various sizes.

Luckily, the yard is big enough to hold so many.

Pei Wuyou rarely got up this early, and he was still a little resentful.

"It's just a promotion, why are you up so early?"

Yue Manwan was also sleepy, but since the host family needed to do something, the guest naturally had to help.

Pei Wuyou walked into the kitchen, and a fragrant aroma hit her head, instantly dispelling her drowsiness.

"What smells so good? Sister Yue, come quick, it smells so good!"

Yue Manwan followed at a leisurely pace.

Because they were helping out today, the two of them changed into the old clothes that Nanzhi had bought for them.

Something was steaming in a pot, Nan Zhi was busy at the stove, and Song Hanyan was tending the fire.

Looking at the peaceful and idyllic scene.

Wu Nanshuang came in from outside: "What are you all doing standing here? Come and serve the dishes. We'll be busy after we finish eating."

Pei Wuyou exclaimed in disbelief, "You actually asked me to serve the dishes!"

She's a young lady from a respectable family; when has she ever done the work of serving dishes?

Wu Nanshuang wouldn't tolerate her bad habits.

"Otherwise, you can't just eat for free, can you?"

"Me." Pei Wuyou couldn't speak.

She wouldn't do something like taking advantage of others, so she'll just serve the food.

Breakfast was simple: a few bowls of congee, a large braised pork knuckle, steamed buns, and two stir-fried dishes.

Nevertheless, the group ate with great relish.

After the meal, people came to help, one by one.

At first, Pei Wuyou and Yue Manwan didn't know how to help, but after they learned, they never had a break.

The aroma wafting from the kitchen from time to time tempted Pei Wuyou to peek into the pot whenever he had a spare moment.

At noon, everyone in the village came.

He Xiucheng, Wang Yushu, and County Magistrates Lin Chengyi and Lin Jiaxiang all came.

Because of their special status, Nanzhi specially arranged a table for them.

At first, the villagers were a little awkward, as it was a rare opportunity to dine with the county magistrate.

In the end, after having a few drinks, everyone relaxed.

Even if someone is a county magistrate, what can they do? They're just like everyone else; they have to take off their pants and defecate.

Both of the Song hunters were quite capable.

It hasn't been long, and the table is full of meat and dishes.

The aroma was so enticing that the villagers couldn't even afford such delicious food during the Lunar New Year.

They all ate with great satisfaction.

Wang Yushu stared at a dish on the table for a long time.

"This thing is weird, how do you eat it?"

Hearing this, the other villagers also perked up their ears to listen, and with a table full of dishes, no one was interested in the mantis shrimp.

While everyone else was busy, Zheng Xinghai was idle.

Nanqun brought some before, and he only ate one. He didn't expect to find something so delicious today, and he's been craving crayfish ever since.

He picked one up, peeled off the shell amidst everyone's curiosity, put it to his mouth, sucked out the meat, and then threw away the shell.

"It's that simple, and it smells wonderful."

Unexpectedly, the hard mantis shrimp had soft meat inside, and the others were eager to try it.

Perhaps because they were new to it, they couldn't suck it out, so they simply peeled it with their hands.

After digging for ages, Wang Yushu was finally late.

Nothing caught my eye.

I've never had anything like this at Tianxia Diyi Lou before, so is this something Nanzhi just invented?
