Chapter 194 Treating villagers from two villages to dinner

After buying the vegetables, Zheng Sisi went to the grain store and bought a few bags of grain. There was not much grain left on the farm, and Zheng Sisi was afraid it would not be enough, and she didn't know how many days she would need to stay.

After filling several carriages, the group returned home.

After returning to the farm, Zheng Sisi went straight into the kitchen to prepare food for dinner.

Zheng Sisi saw several baskets of bamboo shoots, five or six wild rabbits, and three silly roe deer in the kitchen. Zheng Sisi knew that several guards had gone to the mountains. Where there were bamboo shoots, there would be bamboo forests. Bamboos were needed for support when planting rice. Zheng Sisi knew what was going on.

She decided to deal with the ingredients first and leave the rest for tomorrow.

Aunt Niu was shocked to see the county princess buying so much meat. When she heard that she was inviting villagers from two villages to dinner, the other aunts were even more surprised.

They have been here for decades, renting the farmland every year, and no landlord has ever treated them to a meal like this. It seems that they have never heard of such treatment in other farms.

They were like a living Buddha, who not only gave them so much food but also treated them to a meal and prepared so much meat. To put it bluntly, some villagers hadn't bought meat for two years.

Aunt Niu said to Zheng Sisi, "County Lady, there are so many ingredients to process. How about I go to the village and find some old people to help? It will be faster."

Zheng Sisi nodded and said, "Okay, why didn't I think of that? Go to the village and call all the old people and children over, including those from Yao Village. Let's work together, there is strength in numbers.

Then tell the two village chiefs to go to the compound for dinner after work.

Are there enough bowls and chopsticks in the compound? If not, go back and get your own tables, chairs, benches, bowls and chopsticks."

Aunt Niu was very happy: "Okay, I'll go and inform them right away." Then she ran away in a hurry.

Zheng Sisi arranged several maids who knew the process to take care of one aunt each, teaching them how to cut vegetables and what condiments and ingredients to go with each dish.

After assigning everyone the tasks, Zheng Sisi made her own marinade packages and prepared the ingredients for the braised pork, spare ribs, and pig's feet.

After doing all this, she saw a few little sisters standing at the kitchen door eager to try, so she taught them how to peel bamboo shoots.

Several of them learned to make soup or dessert at home, under the pretext that it would be easier for them to serve their husbands and parents-in-law after they got married. However, the ingredients were already prepared by the cooks, and they only watched and learned from the sidelines.

This was the first time for everyone to do something like this, and they were all very excited.

They followed Zheng Sisi's instructions very carefully, for fear of getting mud on the peeled bamboo shoots.

Zheng Sisi found it funny to see them being so cautious. If the ladies in the boudoirs knew that they followed her to the mountains to dig wild vegetables and to the fields to plant crops after returning to the capital, she didn't know how they would look at them. She also didn't know if they could bear it.

Qingfeng took a few guards to process the game. The third prince had official business to attend to, so he returned to his room.

After a while, some old people from the village came over with their children. Because the Fang family father and son lived here before and oppressed them too much, they were a little afraid when they saw the big yard.

Several people, holding their children, looked out timidly at the door, hoping to see an acquaintance who would take them in, so as to avoid being accused of trespassing by the host.

Zheng Sisi looked up and saw the timid looks of several people, so she quickly walked over and greeted everyone warmly: "Auntie, please come in quickly. There are still many things to do today, and we will need your help later."

There was an old lady holding two children, a boy and a girl, both about three or four years old. Behind them was a little girl of six or seven years old, also holding two boys of three or four years old. They all looked at Zheng Sisi timidly.

Seeing that Zheng Sisi not only did not drive them away but also invited them in, they felt that this county lady from the capital was not as hateful as the adults said. She smiled so beautifully.
