Traveling through the famine, I stockpiled supplies like crazy

Chapter 515 Mid-Autumn Festival Dinner

Xu Han glanced at the four people who had disappeared, shook her head helplessly, turned around and went into the room to continue doing her own things.

Dan Niang made lunch when she came back. Xu Han had been doing her own things in the room. When she finished, she looked up and found that it was already noon. Just as she was about to stand up and go to the kitchen to cook, she smelled a faint fragrance coming from the kitchen.

Thinking that Dan Niang must have come back to cook, he sat down and stretched. After a while, he stood up and went to the kitchen. "What's for lunch today?"

Dan Niang said, "Madam, I thought today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, so I simply fried a few dishes and stewed some multi-grain rice."

Xu Han looked at the side dishes prepared by Dan Niang and saw that they were all vegetarian dishes, so she asked, "Why is there no meat? After all, today is Mid-Autumn Festival. Although we have a big dinner at night, we can't be too shabby at noon. There is smoked rabbit meat in the warehouse. You can go get it and cook it."

Dan Niang hesitated to speak, and finally turned around and went to the warehouse.

Xu Han has always been generous with food, and these meats were not bought with her own money, so she had no pressure at all to eat them.

After a simple lunch at noon, everyone went about their own business in the afternoon.

In the afternoon, Xu Han called Han Qi and Zhu Chuntian and asked them to come over to help move all the ingredients needed for tonight's dinner in the valley.

In addition to the ingredients needed for today's meals, Xu Han also asked them to move away the food they were going to eat this month.

Xu Han took some grains, brown flour, cooking oil, sugar, and some seasonings, as long as it could be used for cooking.

Of course, not much of each item is given according to a certain amount, and this amount is also discussed by the family based on the number of people.

Whether it is seasoning or food, they are all distributed according to normal circumstances. We cannot say that the food is very good, but at least they can eat their fill.

If they want to eat better, they have to subsidize themselves.

Xu Han was not a kind-hearted person, and it was impossible for him to let his servants eat delicacies from land and sea every day, but he would not deduct the minimum food for them.

As for the meat, it was too hot to keep these things, so Xu Han didn't give them any. It wouldn't be too late to give them some when they hunted prey. After all, they would not be short of anything.

There is no need to worry about vegetables, as they are grown in the vegetable garden. When you want to eat them, you can just go to the garden and pick them. You can pick whatever you want to eat. Not only are they fresh, but there are also many choices.

After their vegetable garden is reclaimed in the future, they will be able to grow their own vegetables, which will make it more convenient to eat them.

Xu Han looked at the pile of things that had been packed up and said to Han Qi, "Go push the cart over here. There are too many things. We can move them all at once with the cart."

Han Qi responded, turned around and left the yard, pushing the cart to the valley. Zhu Chuntian first moved the things out and piled them in the yard, so that he could load them directly when Han Qi came.

There were too many things to load in one trip, and in the end there were only some pots, pans, and other things that could not be packed, so Xu Han called a few children to move them over together.

After everyone moved the things to the kitchen in the valley and put them away, Dan Niang also came back with a few little girls.

"Ma'am, if you need us to do anything, just tell us."

Xu Han looked around the kitchen and said, "Chunmei, take them to wash the vegetables. Danniang, cut the meat first. Remember to cut the mutton into shreds, and cut the others into cubes. And remember to cut more lamb chops later. There are so many of us, and if we cut less, there won't be enough to eat."

After Xu Han finished speaking, he turned to Han Qi and Zhu Chuntian and said, "You two should go get some firewood. We can start cooking soon."

After everyone responded, they started to move, and the originally deserted valley suddenly became lively.

Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival. This is also the first time that Xu Han has come here and the first time that so many people have celebrated the festival together, so today's dinner is particularly sumptuous. All kinds of cooking methods are used, such as frying, stir-frying, boiling and deep-frying.

In the end, she cooked twenty dishes, including chicken, duck, fish and meat. Xu Han even cooked the vegetables in various ways.

In the evening, when everyone came back from work and saw the table full of food, their eyes suddenly turned red and they had all kinds of thoughts.

Zhu Qiang said, "I never thought I would be able to eat such a sumptuous meal in my life. Even if I die now, my life will be worth it."

Zhou, who was standing by, twisted Zhu Qiang's arm and said, "It's a big festival, why are you talking about death? Don't you think it's unlucky?"

Zhu Qiang reacted immediately and said, "I made a mistake. I said the wrong thing."

Lu Chuan smiled and said he didn't care, "Dinner is almost ready, everyone go wash your hands and get ready to eat."

I went into the kitchen and said to Xu Han, "Did you bring the wine? Where did you put it? I couldn't find it. I thought everyone has been working hard recently, so today is a good day for us to have a drink together."

After hearing this, Xu Han slapped his forehead and said, "Oh! I forgot. Wait for me to get it for you when I get back."

"No, no, no, just do your thing. I'll call Han Qi to go back with me to get it."

Xu Han agreed, "Okay, they haven't had sweet potato wine yet. Remember to bring more. If we bring less, there won't be enough for us to drink."

After thinking for a while, he reminded, "Bring us some fruit wine. We women drink fruit wine. Sweet potato wine is too strong for them to get used to."

"Yes, I remember it. Don't worry."

After Lu Chuan finished speaking, he called Han Qi and left. Xu Han stayed and quickly cooked the vegetarian dishes that had not yet been cooked.

When Lu Chuan came back, Xu Han had just finished cooking all the dishes. There were twenty dishes, each of which was very large in portion, and paired with mixed grain rice, they ensured that everyone would be full.

Of course, these dishes were not all cooked by Xu Han alone. She only made some big dishes, and the rest were made by Dan Niang.

After all, it doesn't make sense for the master to cook and the servants to eat. Although today's meal was nominally prepared by Xu Han, there was no need for Xu Han to finish it all. Even if Xu Han wanted to, others would not agree.

No matter what Xu Han said, there was no need to care about so many rules, but as a servant, the minimum respect and inferiority must be distinguished. The master-servant relationship must not be messed up.

Because there were too many people and one table couldn't accommodate them all, today we simply split into two tables, one for the men and one for the women and children.

Xu Han and other family members did not sit alone, but mingled with them.

After spending a long time together, everyone knows that the host is easy to get along with, and they have gradually relaxed, and now they are not so restrained when eating together.
