Chapter 2698: Reception Banquet

Pei Mingfang wiped away the tears of joy, called four female bodyguards to help, found a few boxes on the van that had already arrived home, and stuffed them to Uncle Wei.

Uncle Wei and a group of men who came to help looked at the words and icons on the box, and immediately became short of breath.

Brand new unopened boxes, two boxes are Wuliangye, and three boxes are Zhonghua Tobacco.

Uncle Wei made a little calculation. If it is true, it would cost at least twenty or thirty thousand, right?

"Second Uncle Wei, it's been hard work for you today." Pei Mingfang said, "This is just a little bit of care, everyone go back and share!"

"This...how did this happen?" When Uncle Wei refused with a dry smile, the younger men beside him had already received the box in their hands, and their faces were very excited.

"It's nothing, when you are free in a few days, you can come to my house for dinner!" Pei Mingfang said with a smile.

"Okay, then thank you, Mingfang!" Uncle Wei said with a smile, and then said to Pei Bo: "Brother Seven, you really gave birth to a good daughter, and she is the most promising daughter in our villages." !"

What do old people like to hear?

Isn't it just the welcome words of the neighbors in the neighborhood?

Pei Bo and Bai Dezhen laughed from ear to ear, and when they returned home, they were all flushed.

They came with Pei Bo and the others, as well as some relatives and old neighbors around, but they didn't go to Pei's house when they walked back. It was because the third sister Pei Mingfen said a few words to her younger sister that Pei Mingfang came to her senses , hurriedly greeted the bodyguards, and delivered some gifts that had been prepared long ago, and the relatives and neighbors naturally praised and complimented him again.

The Pei family's house is a typical rural tile-roof structure. There are five rooms in a courtyard, the kitchen is outside, and there is a dam.

Electric lights were turned on in the middle of the courtyard dam, and a sumptuous feast of six tables was set up bustlingly. Only then did Xiao Qi understand why relatives and neighbors had all left—originally, the Pei family did not expect so many people to come back. There are not enough banquets. It can only be wronged relatives and neighbors.

The Pei family has two sons and two daughters, except for Pei Mingfang who is married. The rest live in the village, but they are also divided into families, each with its own house.

But once they got together, there were seventeen or eighteen people in my family, plus twenty or thirty people from Xiao Qi's side, the five tables of banquets were still full.

If you count relatives and neighbors, this cold dish is easy to make. But hot dishes and steamed dishes can't be changed, so the Pei family can only ask them to come back tomorrow or the day after tomorrow in apology. Anyway, the girl has returned to her hometown, and it's nothing to open a few days of flowing water.

Originally, the old lady Bai Dezhen was not that generous, but when she saw three carts full of presents and sent them home first, all of them were expensive goods, and I heard that half of them were still on the way, she immediately became rich and powerful.

Although her daughter sent out a few large boxes of good cigarettes and alcohol earlier, Bai Dezhen saw that there were still twenty or thirty boxes of tobacco and alcohol here. That didn't say anything.

The family sat at the dinner table, running all the way down, waiting for a day. Everyone was hungry, after Pei Bo said a few polite words. The lively scene at the banquet began.

The uncle, second uncle, and third aunt hadn't seen their sister for many years, and even made a noise at the wine table. Jia Jiandong was poured several glasses of wine in a row without knowing why.

The old man and the old woman over there looked at their brothers and sisters talking and laughing with smiles, and even after taking two sips of wine with themselves, they also started talking loudly.

Xiao Qi sat at the table of the juniors, because he and Jia Yuwen both dressed differently from their cousins, and they hadn't seen each other for several years, so there was naturally some estrangement.

In addition, Jia Yuwen was still holding Xiao Kaixin who had already woken up, and her daughter looked around with round eyes. Several young people couldn't help but look at her more.

The age of marriage in the countryside is very early, and many girls become pregnant and have children at the age of seventeen or eighteen. Then after a few years to go through the formalities again, this is a very common thing.

Jia Yuwen's two cousins ​​and one cousin both have children, and the cousin Pei Xiuxiu is more than 5 years old, and she is only one year older than Jia Yuwen.

"I'm not good at drinking. The alcohol content in my house is too high. I can only drink half a glass today, otherwise I won't be able to chat with you later!" Xiao Qi raised his glass and said, "Come on, this is my first time Go back to Xiaoyu's natal family, then this is my home, everyone don't see outsiders, don't be polite, we are all family!"

"Yes, my brother-in-law said that well!" the eldest cousin Pei Daoyue raised his glass with a smile.

Most of the other relatives of the same age who are about the same age also have the expression of the big cousin, and only a few younger cousins ​​at the next table pay attention to the big fish and meat on the table.

Today's situation is no longer a time when there was not enough to eat a few decades ago, but in the impoverished mountains, everyone's daily life is not very affluent, like today's chickens, ducks, fish, etc. There are all kinds of big dishes, at least they can only be eaten during the festival.

The younger generation who are older, of course, can't just see the food and drink during the festival. After they get married and start a business, they see more aspects, and they are more comprehensive, and they need to consider more.

Such a few carts of gifts not only stunned the adults, but those who also went to school and received trendy information from outside from time to time, only after looking at a dozen items, they realized that this was a famous brand advertised on TV. , the price is definitely expensive.

Forget it all, you need to buy expensive things when you go back to your hometown for the New Year. Many people have to do this even if they spend their money. It is not impossible for my aunt's family to buy so many things when they come back.

But there were three tables of male and female bodyguards sitting next to them, and a few middle-aged Japanese women who obviously spoke foreign languages. It was said that they were the nanny of Xiaowen's family. This immediately raised the image of Jia Yuwen in their minds. Several grades.

What a joke, one nanny is from a wealthy family, and four nanny can only be had by the former landlords, let alone Japanese nanny, and there are still a few resting at home!

This is not something that a simple rich family can have!

With the family background of my aunt's family, I heard that it was very difficult a few years ago, and my uncle is just an ordinary worker. How could it be so prosperous all of a sudden?

Then there is only one possibility - Xiao Wen is well married, her husband is from a super rich family!

After everyone has reached such a consensus, even the elders have to look at Xiao Qi and Jia Yuwen differently, let alone the juniors like them, it is reasonable to be humble to please them.

In such an atmosphere, although the older generation was lively and lively, the atmosphere at Xiao Qi's table was not lively at all, and it was somewhat restrained.

Xiao Qi naturally understood what was going on, but he didn't force it on purpose, as he said before, they were all a family, and he didn't care about such a momentary estrangement.

It's just that he obviously talked a little more, chatting with these cousins ​​about family matters, and talking about some new things that happened in foreign countries, which made them listen with gusto.

Jia Yuwen was originally a relatively quiet girl. Under such circumstances, she knew that the cousins ​​at this table had low self-esteem, but she didn't know how to get rid of their strangeness. Now, seeing her husband talking and laughing happily, they made them chatter from time to time. I just laughed, and my heart suddenly became sweet.

Xiao Qi was eating while talking.

As a native of Shuchuan, Xiao Qi can't eat spicy food, but he only has a soft spot for fatty food.

When he was in the United States in his previous life, if he was bored in the dormitory apartment, he would often make braised pig's trotters to eat, and it was the kind of pig's trotters with fat. pressure.

Adding twice-cooked pork is also one of Xiao Qi's best dishes. After frying a twice-cooked pork, put it directly in the rice. The greasy rice also feels delicious.

So when he was on the table today, his favorite thing was to stretch out his chopsticks to pick up the rather fatty twice-cooked pork.

"Well, this pork at home is really delicious!" After eating a few more mouthfuls, Xiao Qi couldn't help admiring, "The smell of this lard is definitely not an ordinary domestic pig! This pig breed should be different Bar?"

"Hehe, brother-in-law, you really know how to eat!" Pei Xiuxiu said with a smile, "This pig is our authentic Xiangxi black pig, and it is an old breed that has been passed down from hundreds of years ago. It is completely different from the pork on the market today. !"

"Let me tell you, the taste and delicacy of this fatty meat are different from the mountain pigs I usually eat." Xiao Qi said, "So it's the legendary Xiangxi black pig!"

Because Xiao Qi likes to eat twice-cooked pork, he has studied pork.

For example, most of the pork currently on the market in Shuchuan is bred from Canadian white pig breeds. This kind of white pig can soar to 300 catties in 180 days, and it can eat anything. It is most suitable for breeding to sell for money, so everyone They all came to breed this pig.

And the real native pigs, that is, the local breeds in Sichuan, are basically released for 10 months, and at most only weigh more than 200 catties, which is much worse than Canadian white pigs, so even farmers are unwilling to raise these pigs for their own pork. Soil pigs.

Therefore, if you eat twice-cooked pork now, you have to add oil and stir-fry it to barely make it look like twice-cooked pork, unlike before, after heating the pot, just put the semi-fat and lean meat in and fry it.

The twice-cooked pork at that time can still fry a lot of oil, which is enough for the next cooking.

The twice-cooked pork fried with oil is completely different from the fatty meat itself, and authentic foodies will know it as soon as they eat it.

Most of the twice-cooked pork in restaurants now is seasoned with tempeh, bean paste, monosodium glutamate, etc. In Xiao Qi's opinion, it is not as fragrant as the twice-cooked pork fried with the simplest salt in front of him. (to be continued ~^~)
