Traveling through the famine, I stockpiled supplies like crazy

Chapter 516 Mid-Autumn Festival Dinner 2

Xu Han's family didn't think too much about it. There was no need to act like hosts and sit at a separate table. On the contrary, Xu Han liked the atmosphere of dining with them.

The same went for everyone else. It was the first time in so many years that so many people were celebrating the holidays together, and everyone was very happy.

As the masters, Lu Chuan and Xu Han didn't have that much to do. Xu Han only treated them as subordinates and himself as the boss.

The most important thing for a good boss is to be able to lead his subordinates, make them obedient, and get along well with them.

Public matters are public matters, private matters are private matters. Right now, it is a private matter. We are all reunited to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival. It is lively and everyone is very happy.

After everyone was seated, Lu Chuan stood up with a glass of wine and said, "Today is Mid-Autumn Festival. I want to toast everyone. Let's work hard together in the future and strive for better and better lives."

Everyone stood up after hearing this, and Xu Han reminded them, "Also order some sweet potato wine. Be careful when you drink it, don't drink too much and choke."

With Xu Han's reminder, those who had never drunk sweet potato wine took a sip carefully, and no one was choked by the wine.

Zhu Qiang took a sip of the sweet potato wine in his hand and said, "This wine tastes really good, strong and fragrant, intoxicating."

Li Si also said, "Yes, this wine is different from the wine we usually drink. We usually drink yellow wine, which doesn't taste that strong. This wine is like water and has no color, but the wine tastes very strong."

The Taoist priest boasted proudly, "How is it? It tastes good, right? This is the wine your wife brewed herself. You can't get it outside."

Dan Niang was even more surprised when she heard this. "I didn't expect that Madam has such a skill. Not only is she a good cook, she can also make wine."

Qi Yu also agreed, "This fruit wine is also delicious. The alcohol taste is not that strong. It is sour and sweet and very suitable for girls to drink."

Xu Han smiled and said, "Drink more if you like. The pomegranates in the orchard are ripe now. I'll make some pomegranate wine next time. This one tastes better. Start making it now and you can drink it during the Chinese New Year."

Dan Niang agreed, "Okay, let me know when Madam is making wine, and I'll go help."

"Okay, everyone, hurry up and eat. We're going to have a good time tonight and we won't leave until we're drunk."

With Xu Han's words, everyone started eating, some drinking, some eating. Everyone talked about everything, and the atmosphere was very good.

After dinner, Dan Niang and her people removed the food from the ladies' table and replaced it with fruits and moon cakes. The group sat in the yard and chatted while the men's table continued to drink.

The meal lasted until after eight o'clock in the evening. If there hadn't been several torches lit in the yard, there would probably be no one in sight.

After dinner, Lu Chuan was already drunk. There were too many people, and he had to drink a lot of wine when each person toasted him.

And it was obvious that Lu Chuan was in a good mood today, otherwise he would not have drunk so much.

The Taoist priest and Grandpa Zhao were both in similar situations, also feeling dizzy, and they supported each other as they walked home.

As for Li Si and his group, almost all of them were drunk. It was their first time drinking sweet potato wine, and they couldn't control the amount, so getting drunk was inevitable.

Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night. Fortunately, Lu Chuan is not drunk yet and does not need Xu Han to look after him.

Back in the courtyard, Xu Han cooked some hangover soup for everyone. After watching them finish drinking it, she took the two children into the house to sleep.

They played a little late today, and the two children were so sleepy that they could hardly open their eyes, but they still waited for Xu Han to come into the room before lying down to sleep.

Xu Han tucked the quilt in for the two of them and said, "You two should go to bed early. You have to get up early tomorrow!"

Mu'er responded and fell asleep instantly, while Ze'er next to her could already hear her breathing evenly.

Xu Han left the room of the two brothers, turned around and left the main room to close the courtyard door, but she saw that the kitchen door and the courtyard door had been closed by Lu Chuan. Xu Han thought to herself, "It seems that he is not drunk after all."

When Xu Han returned to the room, Lu Chuan had already lain down. Seeing Xu Han coming in, he patted the bed beside him and said, "Come here quickly. I'm so sleepy that I can't even open my eyes."

After listening to this, Xu Han closed the door of the room, blew out the oil lamp, and climbed into bed to sleep in the moonlight.

The next day, although everyone drank a lot yesterday, no one stayed in bed and went to work early.

As for the three meals a day over there, I heard from Dan Niang that several women took turns cooking, but Dan Niang was still responsible for the meals here.

When Xu Han got up, Dan Niang was already preparing breakfast for this morning. After they moved out, the food at home had improved slightly.

After all, there were many people before, so it would be difficult to eat something exquisite. For this reason, Xu Han specially wrote a menu for a week, including three meals a day.

Each meal has four dishes and a soup. In addition to the three fixed dishes, the other one is random. You can make it directly according to what everyone wants to eat that day.

Xu Han put a lot of thought into this recipe. Not only did she take into account the two growing children, but she also considered everyone's taste, and combined meat and vegetables to ensure a balanced nutrition.

Currently, the menu is formulated by Xu Han. After Dan Niang is familiar with everyone's taste, she will formulate it directly.

As Dan Niang used to be a cook in a wealthy family, fortunately she can still understand the most basic words, but it is difficult for her to write them. But it doesn’t matter, she can learn them slowly in the future.

Xu Han asked, "Dan Niang, what do you want for breakfast today?"

Dan Niang replied, "Madam, today's breakfast is multi-grain porridge, and the staple food is unleavened bread, eggs, and garlic. In addition, I cooked some sweet potatoes and pumpkin."

"Well, go ahead and get busy. I'll take some people to the orchard to pick some pomegranates while it's not too hot. I'll come back later to make pomegranate wine."

Dan Niang said, "Okay, Madam Chunchan and the other little girls are in the vegetable garden. When you go there, ask them to help you pick them."

"I understand." Xu Han said and left without looking back.

When they arrived at the vegetable garden, they found that Mrs. Li was leading them in planting vegetables. Xu Han called out to them and they came over.

When they reached the field, Xu Han did not forget to call Han Qi and Zhu Chuntian to climb the tree.

This morning Xu Han planned to pick all the pomegranates. Now is the season for eating pomegranates, and all the pomegranates in the orchard are ripe. If they are not picked, they will be overripe and then wasted.

There were not many pomegranates last year, so Xu Han did not use them to make wine. Instead, the family ate all of them as fruit. Of course, most of them were used to make pomegranate juice.

Fortunately, there are a lot of pomegranates this year, and we can’t eat them all. They can be used to make pomegranate wine.

This year, I brewed more pomegranate wine. The color of pomegranate wine is very beautiful, and the red color is particularly attractive. It tastes sour and sweet, and everyone should like it very much.

(Happy Mid-Autumn Festival to everyone. Love you all.)
