Yang Huazhou immediately said: "Okay, okay, let's accept this gift. Mother, sit in the room. Suyun, hurry up and make tea for mother."

"Hey, okay!" Bao Suyun immediately ran into the main room and personally made tea for Mr. Tan.

Yang Huazhou personally helped Mr. Tan enter the main room, and everyone followed behind and surrounded the old lady into the main room.

The men continued to discuss the matter of welcoming the bride tomorrow in the main room. Mrs. Tan sat at the head of the table, drinking tea and listening with her ears pricked up.

The women were busy in the kitchen and the dining hall next to the kitchen, preparing the dishes for tomorrow's banquet.

Signature dishes with hometown characteristics, such as meatballs and meatloaf, have to be made tonight.

When it comes to meatballs and meatloaf, Mr. Sun is good at it.

She minced the pork belly, which was 40% lean and 60% fat, with ginger, sprinkled in an appropriate amount of sweet potato powder, and asked the three girls, Mianmian, and Xiuxiu to make the meatballs.

Luo Baobao liked to join in the fun. After asking for Yang Ruoqing's permission, he washed his hands and rolled up his sleeves and sat among them. They talked and laughed and competed in making meatballs.

Mrs. Sun took the rolled meatballs and put them into a large pot one by one, frying them until they were six or seven times cooked, and then put them into several bamboo baskets and put them away.

The meatloaf is made from pure lean meat, coated with a layer of sweet potato flour, and beaten repeatedly with a small hammer into a moderately thick meatloaf.

The people who did this were Liao Meiying and Zhao Liuer.

If you are not sure about the thickness, just pinch your earlobe, it should be about the same thickness as your earlobe.

As for size, look at the palm of your hand.

Yu Bamei took over the tasks of braising meat bones and washing pork belly and intestines.

In her words: "Yongjin likes to eat my braised large intestine with pickled vegetables and tripe chicken. I'm good at this, so I'll do it!"

The cleaning of the fish and shrimp area was previously done by Yongbai's wife Cuiping.

It turned out that Cuiping was not good at handling shrimp threads. Not only did he not clean the shrimps, but he also made a mess with his fingers. So Yang Ruoqing took over the job and asked Cuiping to peel garlic and cut ginger and pepper.

.

With at most two toothpicks, Yang Ruoqing could clean up the shrimps needed for nearly ten tables of wine and dishes.

Luo Fengtang was originally drinking tea among the men in the main room and listening to them discussing tomorrow's affairs.

Although he was a son-in-law and a guest, the two families lived close to each other, and Yang Ruoqing herself had a close relationship with her fifth uncle and fifth aunt, so the young couple did not regard themselves as guests, and they did not hesitate to help.

Luo Fengtang listened for a while, and after receiving his errand to pick up the bride tomorrow and remembering it in his heart, he came to the backyard.

The lights were brightly lit in the backyard, there was a ping-pong sound in the kitchen, and there was beating, slicing, and chopping in the dining hall.

Women were coming in and out, busy.

There were several large basins filled with water in the yard. Two women were sitting on the edge of the two large basins.

Luo Fengtang recognized at a glance that the person sitting next to one of the big basins was his wife, so he strode over.

"Is this cold water?"

Luo Fengtang leaned down and put his hand into the basin to feel...

Yang Ruoqing raised her head, saw it was him, and smiled with her white teeth exposed.

"I exchanged for hot water earlier..." she said.

Luo Fengtang said: "It's getting cold now. I'll get you some more hot water."

He stood up and looked around, and found a row of stoves lined up against the courtyard wall. Some of the stoves had no fire, and some had fires on them and were boiling water.

Luo Fengtang walked towards one of the stoves, picked up a pot of hot water on it and turned back to Yang Ruoqing. While pouring hot water into the large basin, he felt the temperature changes with his hands.

If it's too hot, the shrimp will turn red; if it's too cold, my wife's hands will be frozen.

At about the same time, he stopped and said to Yang Ruoqing: "You can try the temperature."

Yang Ruoqing tried it, nodded and said: "Very good."

Luo Fengtang smiled and was about to stand up and put the kettle back when Yang Ruoqing stopped him and told him not to take it away in a hurry.

"Cuiping, is the water in your basin cold? Can you add some hot water?" Yang Ruoqing turned to ask Cuiping next to her.

Although Cuiping was busy digging for ginger, her eyes kept peeking at Luo Fengtang and Yang Ruoqing.

Hearing Yang Ruoqing's question, Cuiping suddenly raised his head, a little guilty and panicked, and quickly shook his head: "It's okay, it's okay, I'm not afraid of the cold..."

Isn’t this just cold?

Yang Ruoqing smiled: "You have a lot of things to wash there. It's cold now and your hands will freeze later. I've brought the kettle over, so let's add some more!"

After saying this, Yang Ruoqing lowered her head and continued picking shrimp lines.

Cuiping blushed, nodded, and glanced at Luo Fengtang.

Luo Fengtang is tall, has long legs, and has long arms. Since his wife has given her orders, he will naturally obey them.

So he stretched out his arm and put the kettle at Cuiping's feet: "There is water in it, you can add as much as you want!"

After saying that, he turned around, squatted next to Yang Ruoqing, rolled up his sleeves, picked up a big river shrimp with claws and claws, and also picked up the shrimp line.

Yang Ruoqing immediately stopped her: "Stop dirtying your hands, go to the front yard."

Luo Fengtang said: "There is nothing going on in the front yard. Everyone is drinking tea, smoking and gossiping."

Yang Ruoqing said again: "These jobs are done by us women, you can go."

Luo Fengtang shook his head: "The work does not distinguish between men and women, I will help you."

Yang Ruoqing tried to persuade him several times, but still couldn't persuade him to leave. She had no choice but to hand over a toothpick, "Since you really want to help, use a toothpick to pick it out, it will be easier."

Luo Fengtang took the toothpick and followed Yang Ruoqing's gesture to pick up the shrimp thread carefully.

In the kitchen, a woman came out to get something. When she saw Luo Fengtang squatting there helping Yang Ruoqing pick shrimp threads, she quietly returned to the kitchen and told the other women.

Then there were several pairs of eyes at the window, including Yu Bamei and Zhao Liuer.

The guys lowered their voices and chuckled: "Tang Yazi really loves Qing'er. A man who loves his wife as much as him is rare in the world, let alone our Changping Village."

Bao Suyun said with a smile: "Tangyazi's love for Qing'er doesn't happen overnight, or in a year or two."

When Mrs. Sun heard this, her face was full of smiles. As the meatballs in the pot were fried to a crisp, Mrs. Sun was in a great mood.

In the yard outside, Cuiping picked up the kettle and refilled it with water. She got up and refilled the kettle with hot water and put it back on the stove. When she turned around, she saw Luo Fengtang squatting next to Yang Ruoqing, helping her pick shrimp threads.

.

The two of them were still talking in a low voice. Sister Qing'er chuckled a few times from time to time, saying that she was trying to pick a thread, but Luo Fengtang's eyes kept looking at Sister Qing'er, full of love.

Cuiping was a little jealous.

When I married Yongbai before, on the one hand, I felt that Yongbai was pretty good-looking and treated her well. Since there were no parents-in-law at home, she could be the master of the family after marrying her.

Now seeing this great cousin-in-law, the dignified general, and the Marquis Zhongyong, Cuiping thought he was a savage man with a dark face and a beard who didn't take women seriously and only knew how to fight, behead people and drink alcohol.

Unexpectedly, he was not only handsome but also considerate and gentle.
