She didn't refuse. She collected the things and took Aunt Dahua into the house to see the waiter. Then the two of them joined the cooking team.
When Aunt Dahua came, Fang Nuo and her kneaded the dough that had been haired for a long time.
Unexpectedly, Shen Gongqi brought one of his brothers over to take over the job of kneading the dough.
After they knead the dough, they take out the steamed buns and put them in a steamer to rise for a while before steaming them in a pot.
Fang Nuo's family invited more than twenty people today, and they planned to set up three tables.
The dishes are braised pork, braised pork ribs with radish, shredded pork with green pepper, braised cabbage with oil residue, stir-fried green vegetables, stir-fried shredded potatoes, six dishes, the portions are larger and enough to eat.
The people who came to help did all the cutting and cutting of vegetables. Fang Nuo and Aunt Dahua were in charge of the final cooking. They stewed the stew first and stir-fried the braised pork first, adding a little water and simmering it, so that it would become softer. eat.
After the ribs and braised pork were stewed, Aunt Dahua watched while Fang Nuo prepared other dishes.
The two stewed dishes were cooked on the stove in the kitchen, and the stir-fried vegetables were cooked on the stove in the courtyard.
"Xiao Nuo, you call someone outside to give you a blow, I'll watch from here," Aunt Dahua said
Fang Nuo: "The aunt I know"
She went outside to find two people to help move all the prepared dishes to the stove. She checked the time and saw that it was still more than an hour before work ended at noon, so she thought about baking the oil first. When the time comes, stew the cabbage with the oil residue.
Add a little warm water to the pot and pour in the chopped raw lard. After the water is boiled dry, the oil will begin to come out.
When roasting oil, the fire should be lowered and stirred from time to time, otherwise the oil residue will easily burn away.
When all the oil residue floats on the oil surface and turns golden yellow, you can filter out the oil residue and put the oil into the oil tank.
Fang Nuo used the oil left at the bottom of the pot to stir-fry the garlic and baby greens first, then stir-fry the cabbage with the oil residue, and then the spicy and sour shredded potatoes.
After the vegetables here are fried, the stew there is also ready.
The villagers they invited had all arrived after work.
Everyone helped set the table, then scooped up the dishes and put them on the table.
After all the dishes were served, Fang Nuo went to wash his hands, went into the room to feed the waiter, and then took the baby out to eat.
Most of the people who came today were men, and there were only a few women who could usually talk to Fang Nuo without any conflicts.
These aunts and eldest sister all have good relations with Aunt Dahua.
The women and their children sat at one table, and the others sat at the other two tables.
Before the meal started, everyone got up and congratulated Shen Gongqi and Fang Nuo on the birth of their son. Then they said auspicious words and everyone started eating.
"Well, I didn't expect your cooking to be so delicious, Fang Zhiqing," Aunt Wu said.
Fang Nuo: "It just tastes like home cooking. If Auntie likes it, then eat more."
Aunt Dahua: "Xiao Nuo, you are too modest. I told you earlier that your cooking skills are quite famous in our village."
A younger eldest sister said: "No, even last year's pig-killing dish in our village, my family has been thinking about this year's pig-killing dish from now on."
Aunt Wu: "Will the educated youth still be in charge of cooking this year?"
Fang Nuo: "If the aunts like it and call me then, I will definitely help with the cooking."
Aunt Dahua: "Xiao Nuo has to take care of two children now, and she will definitely not have time to take care of them by then."
So won’t we be able to eat this year? Fortunately we are here today”
"No, if you don't want to become an educated youth, we will help you take care of the children, and you can cook the butchered vegetables."
"It's still early, we'll talk about it later," Fang Nuo said.
She was reluctant to leave her child to outsiders. After all, it was not her own child and there would always be times when she would be neglectful.
Now Xiaoer is still too young. Even when the pigs were slaughtered years ago, Xiaoer was only more than two months old. It was snowing outside and she was not ready to take her child out.
Of the two adults in the family, one of them always has to go out and help.
As the woman of the family, she should not go when the time comes to take care of the children.
Only when the child grows up and can walk on his own like Yaya, will she be willing to take him out in winter.
In the past, when I took Yaya out with me, it was because I only had a child, so I just had to carry her on my back.
Now it is inconvenient to go anywhere with two children, one carrying and the other pulling.
"Okay, you all come and eat quickly. Today, we are all here to enjoy the happiness of Xiao Nuo and her waiter." Aunt Dahua said and invited a few people to eat.
The woman's table was quickly finished. Several aunts helped put away the dishes and wiped the table clean. One aunt picked up her own table and went back first.
She still had livestock to feed at home, so she greeted Fang Nuo and went back.
The other aunts were not in a hurry to go back, so they followed Fang Nuo into the house to see the children.
Yaya had a lot of people at home today, so everyone was quite quiet.
After eating, I followed Fang Nuo into the house.
"Mom, I also want to go up to the kang to see my brother." Yaya saw that everyone was looking at her brother, so she asked Fang Nuo that she wanted to go to the kang.
Fang Nuo took off her shoes for her, hugged her on the kang and said, "How about you sit inside and let grandma and aunt sit outside?"
"Okay" Yaya said, got up and walked a little further into the kang, then pulled the small pillow for her buttocks and sat down.
"Everyone, sit down wherever you like. You're welcome to come home." Fang Nuo greeted the few people who were still standing to sit down.
Putting the child in Aunt Dahua's arms, she went to make tea for several people to drink.
After a while, the two tables outside were all finished eating, and the people who were working went back to work.
Two or three aunts were left to help clean up the rest, and the dishes and chopsticks were washed. They each carried their own tables, greeted them, and went home.
Several of Shen Gongqi's friends hadn't gone back yet, so Fang Nuo said to Shen Gongqi: "Brother Qi, tell your brothers and others later that you will have dinner at home before going back, but you and Jun Yu will drive the cattle." We will send them a car to the flag town. If it is far away, put bedding in the guest room and let them rest at home for one night and go back tomorrow."
"Is there any meat at home?" Shen Gongqi asked.
"There are quite a few more. I'll wait for the waiter and Yaya to take a nap in a while, and then I'll clean out the pig's head and internal organs, and get some marinade to marinate it. You can have some with them in the evening," Fang Nuo said.
"Well, thank you for your hard work today, wife," Shen Gongqi said.
"Why bother? We are all a family. Your friends are my friends. It's rare for someone to come here, so I can't say hello to you. This way, when others talk about you, Shen Gongqi's wife, we all have dignity." Fang Nuo said with a smile
"Well, being able to marry you is the most honorable thing in my life," Shen Gongqi said sincerely.
"Yes, yes, I understand. You go and accompany your friends. I'm going to take the children to bed." Fang Nuo rushed people to greet the guests, and she went back to the back room to take the two children to take a nap.
