After rebirth, I went from a peasant girl to the richest man

After eating and drinking, everyone dispersed.

"Mr. Zhu, enjoy your meal today. When you come to Baiyang Town next time, you must come to my house as a guest!"

The two of them drank a whole pot of wine, which was about two ounces. Although they were not drunk, they were not as sober as they were at the beginning.

"Uncle Bai, don't worry. I'm familiar with Miss Bai. I'll definitely visit her someday if I have the chance!"

As soon as Zhu Yu finished speaking, Bai's father sobered up a little and immediately spoke seriously.

"Mr. Zhu, what you said is wrong!"

Zhu Yu was a little confused by the serious atmosphere and asked uncertainly, "Uncle Bai, do you think there is something wrong?"

"Master Zhu is not only familiar with my youngest son, but now he also knows many people in the family!"

Just kidding, being a guest is being a guest. You are saying that you are a guest only if you are familiar with my daughter.

So, boy, are you going to visit someone or to see someone else?

Our youngest daughter is only seven years old now, and it is still too early for her to reach marriage age. If someone were to notice her so early, who would I cry to?

What's more, this Mr. Zhu is more than one or two years older than my daughter!

An old cow eating young grass is simply being a hooligan!

Not to mention that this 'Old Cow' was invited by himself.

Zhu Yu had no idea what was going on in Mr. Bai's mind, so he just thought it was Mr. Bai's warm invitation to visit the Bai family.

Saying that you are familiar with everyone in the Bai family, isn't that a disguised invitation?

Then he said to Father Bai: "Don't worry, Uncle Bai, I will definitely go to Dayang Village to visit you when I have time someday!"

It gets dark early at this time, and now it is already afternoon. Zhu Yu and Zhu Yao have to hurry back to Qujiang County, and everyone separates at the door of Hongyun Tower.

The Bai family's ox cart was driven to the backyard by the restaurant waiter. The cart was filled with New Year's goods bought by Grandma Bai and Mother Bai. There were so many things that they were placed outside the ox cart without anyone watching for fear that they would be stolen by passers-by.

While waiting for Bai's father to drive the ox cart to the street, Bai Qingyun and Xie Shuer's expressions were somewhat frozen.

The ox cart was piled high with all kinds of goods. Bai Qingyun reasonably suspected that if it weren't for the granary at home that he could replenish at any time, there would be no room for people to sit on the ox cart.

"Mom, why did you buy so much?"

Even though the family had plenty of money, Bai Qingyun was still surprised by his family's shopping ability and couldn't help but ask questions.

Bai's mother smiled and said, "It's almost the New Year, and I want to give everyone in the family new clothes. They used to wear old cotton, but this time the cloth shop got new cotton, and using new cotton to make new clothes also has a kind of meaning!"

Grandma Bai took over the conversation: "Your mother is right. This new cotton is more comfortable to wear! However, because the old cotton at home has been stored for a long time, clothes made of this cotton will be more durable."

"Those clothes made of old cotton are perfect for work, and these clothes made of new cotton can be worn during the New Year, which will also be festive."

Whether it is the Bai family or Dayang Village, everyone can have a good New Year this year. Wearing festive clothes can also bring good luck.

"What about these tools? Don't we have a big pot at home? We even have several small stoves!"

Bai Qingyun looked at the unfamiliar thing in front of him and felt that it was somewhat familiar, but he could not remember its use.

"Is this what grandma said about making rice cakes?"

Xie Shuer often cooks. She had heard Grandma Bai complain before that the tools for making rice cakes at home were a few years old and not working well.

"Shu'er is right. Every household in Dayang Village makes rice cakes during the Chinese New Year! The things we had at home were old. They were broken by a hammer during the Chinese New Year last year, and we have never been able to find the right wood to repair them."

"Today at the market, there happened to be an old man selling a set of things, including the wooden barrel for steaming glutinous rice, which was all new. When I saw them, I simply replaced all the ones I had at home!"

The old man must be specialized in this and has some old-fashioned experience. Even the details were done well. Grandma Bai liked it at first sight.

The people at the market were naturally not stupid. They all knew that this thing was good, but it was too heavy. They had to buy other things and had things at home that could still be used, so they had to bear the pain and not buy it.

Grandma Bai acted decisively because her family did not have to rely entirely on manpower for transportation and could use a ox cart to save effort.

"Rice cake, I haven't eaten it for a long time. Grandma, go home and make some more. The temperature is low now, so the food can be kept!"

Zhuzi and Huohuo should also like soft and sticky things. These two little guys have big appetites, especially Huohuo. Although he is a practicing nine-tailed fox, the food he eats will be good and he will not easily touch these mundane things.

But she couldn't help but feel that her brother was a real foodie, and the foodie attribute was contagious. When seeing others eating with relish, even a person with strong self-control would be unable to help swallowing his saliva!

"Okay, okay, we have enough glutinous rice at home. We have a large family, so we can just steam a few more buckets!"

It was rare that Bai Qingyun suggested making more. People at home usually don’t eat much glutinous rice, so this time he simply took out all the food in stock and made it.

There are many people in the family and they eat a lot, but strength comes from numbers. Even if they just need to steam a few large buckets of glutinous rice, it won't be too difficult if Grandpa Bai, Grandpa Xie, Father Bai and the three brothers of the Bai family take turns to do it.

Bai Qingyun thought that since he had ensured food for his family, they would be less busy during the New Year.

But at this moment she realized that when it comes to people's food, clothing, housing and transportation, it is far from enough to just solve the issue of food.

Winter clothes, soapberries for washing clothes, hoes for hoeing the fields...these are all indispensable things in life.

What's more, during the Chinese New Year, being busier will make the festive atmosphere even stronger.

When a family works together to do something, it is often not a big deal. In this process, the hearts of the family can be closely connected together. The gains in this process are much more important than the results.

"Mom, have the radishes in the garden grown? I want to eat some fried dumplings!"

Fried radish balls symbolize reunion and are a must-have for every family during the Chinese New Year.

To make fried dumplings, you need to wash and peel the radish, cut it into small pieces, and mix it with flour, salt, etc.

There weren’t many chopped radishes left, and if they were the small radishes from before, they wouldn’t be able to withstand the cooking of a family.

"Don't worry, I've been vomiting fertilizer. I'm afraid it will freeze, so I sprinkled several layers of wood ash on it! Now the radish is thicker than my arm, I can make a lot of dumplings with it!"

Grandma Bai heard the conversation and said quickly, "If we want to fry the meatballs, let's make the tofu first. Then we can fry the tofu and meatballs together. It will save trouble!"

Fried meatballs require a lot of oil, which is why most people are reluctant to make more.

In previous years, a small bowl of meatballs would be fried during the Chinese New Year as a symbol of good luck, because the meatballs were covered with fat. For families who often did not have enough food to eat, meatballs covered with fat were simply a delicacy!

Every time the food is served, it is quickly gone.

Knowing that her family loves to eat it, Grandma Bai even specially came up with several recipes for making meatballs.

This year, the whole family will be able to eat enough during the Chinese New Year.
