Chapter 237 Attack
The group of them walked into the yard. The yard of their house was busy now. Although there was no shed, several round tables had been set up.
There were people sitting at the table talking at this moment, but it must not have officially become lively yet.
After all, the wedding is tomorrow.
Xia Zhi met Gao Yanbin's uncle and aunt again.
She greeted her politely, and then hurriedly went to greet her relatives. It was obvious that Xia Zhi was here, and she was a cook.
Gao Yanbin felt a little uneasy when he saw that his uncle and aunt were very perfunctory towards Xia Zhi. He was afraid that Xia Zhi would be angry, so he followed Xia Zhi to the kitchen.
"Xiaoxia, don't be angry like this.
My uncle and aunt are not looking down on you, they are just too busy today. "
Xia Zhi looked at the kitchen. There was no one in the kitchen at the moment. Normally, the cook would bring his own helper to make the flowing mat, but she was completely alone at the moment.
Obviously, the other party never thought of sending her a subordinate.
Xia Zhi smiled carelessly, rolled up her sleeves and looked for an apron, and said.
"Gao Yanbin, don't say anything. We are friends. If I really care about this, I will turn around and leave.
Either find two people to do it for me, or you can do it yourself.
You can’t let me do it alone, right?
And no matter what the ingredients are, let them bring them over!
I'll start preparing now. Although I said I won't open a running banquet directly today, after all, those who come to help in the evening will have a meal.
At noon, I make a table of tomorrow's menu for them and let them try out the dishes in advance. If there is anything inappropriate or irregular, let them bring it up and I can change the menu in the evening. "
Xia Zhi felt confident.
I'm not afraid of cooking. What I'm most afraid of is that the other party will deliberately make things difficult for me.
After hearing this, Gao Yanbin hurriedly said,
"Okay, no problem, I'll help."
In fact, Gao Yanbin didn't know her aunt's relatives very well. She came to help now mainly because of her uncle's face.
Even if he calls for help, he can't instruct them, so he might as well help himself.
Gao Yanbin moved everything in the room next to him. As expected, the production captain's family had a lot of materials prepared for his wife.
Chicken, duck, fish and a variety of vegetables. Although it is winter, the preparations are quite complete.
I even prepared two bags of white noodles.
These days, a wedding banquet of this size in the village is quite impressive.
Xia Zhi first instructs Gao Yanbin to start mincing meat fillings. Dumplings will definitely be prepared tonight.
Banquets in rural areas must include steamed flower steamed buns. Flower steamed buns are only served during festivals and festive banquets.
Generally, it is steamed one day in advance. You don’t need to worry about the lunch banquet for the time being. Now you have to serve it first.
Fortunately, apparently the host has also prepared some guy style in advance.
Xia Zhi hummed tiredly and made two basins of noodles, placed them next to the stove, closed the lids to wake up the noodles, and then began to prepare the lunch meal.
Now everything is checked.
Today I have prepared the ingredients for tomorrow. What I have on hand now include ten chickens, ten ducks, ten fish, and half a fan of pork.
One sheep, 50 pounds of beef.
Add cabbage, potato vermicelli, radish, and sprouts.
Fine dishes are nothing these days.
And about ten pounds of eggs.
Looking at these things, Xia Zhi also felt a little worried. These days, there are not many ways to organize the food for a banquet.
Chicken, duck, and fish are easy to cook, but serious vegetarian dishes are not.
Fortunately, there are a lot of dried vegetables, day lilies, fungus, mushrooms, winter bamboo shoots and the like.
It can be seen that this family also spent a lot of money to prepare some.
Xia Zhi was worrying about the number of dishes for this banquet. At this moment, she saw Gao Yanbin's aunt who had just received them walk in slightly nervously.
"Comrade Xiaoxia, are you all busy?"
Seeing the two people working in the house and seeing Gao Yanbin, the aunt's face was slightly embarrassed.
I asked my relatives to help me, but I asked a young man to help me in the kitchen.
"Auntie, we are making preparations. If you need anything, please tell us immediately."
"Oh, you are a guest. How can I ask you to help me here for a while? Call your two sisters over and let them help."
Gao Yanbin kept cutting the meat on the chopping board without stopping, and said with a smile,
"Auntie, why are you so polite to me? We are all a family.
The sisters know relatives and friends, so it is easier to greet the guests. I don't know anyone, so it would be more embarrassing if I went there.
Might as well help out with something practical here. Besides, Xiaoxia didn’t know anyone. "
Gao Yanbin knew how to behave and speak, which immediately made the embarrassment on her aunt's face fade away.
A little more genuine smile.
"Yanbin! Thanks to your help this time. If you hadn't helped find Comrade Xiaoxia, I might have really been in trouble this time.
Your uncle and aunt remember your kindness, and our family will never treat you badly in the future. "
"Aunt, how much have you and my uncle helped me? It's me who should really be grateful. This little help is not enough to express my gratitude, so what does it count? Aunt, don't be polite to me."
These words in front of Xia Zhi immediately made aunt's face light up.
He immediately smiled a little more at this nephew.
Li Wanhua turned to Xia Zhi and said.
"Comrade Xiaoxia, it's like this. I'm afraid you have to prepare a decent banquet at noon. Even if the banquet tomorrow is not good, it doesn't matter to us. The banquet at noon today is very important."
Xia Zhi was stunned for a moment, looked up at Li Wanhua, and instantly understood that there must be an important guest coming to their house, and this guest had a different identity.
"Comrade Li, how old are the guests who came at noon? How many are there? What are their hobbies?
If you don't know his hobbies, you can tell me where he is from, so that I can roughly arrange the taste of the meal based on his eating habits. "
Since we are going to cook, we naturally have to do it with people’s hearts in mind.
After Li Wanhua heard this, she was stunned for a moment, but her eyes showed approval. She didn't expect that this lesbian was so meticulous. She couldn't even think of these words.
"Just wait, I'll go out and ask."
Li Wanhua hurried out and came in with a big basket in a short time.
The basket was covered tightly with a quilt.
"Xiao Xia, this basket is the fresh vegetables they specially brought from the city. They are all rare special dishes.
I heard that three people came this time, an old man, an old lady, and one of his uncle's immediate bosses. "
“I heard that their family are all from Xishan, and the old man likes to eat heavy food.
The old lady likes to eat something sweet, and their specialty is aged vinegar.
I guess sour ones will do. "
Xia Zhi nodded after hearing this.
