Chapter 127: Chapter 102: A Joyful Gathering’s End (Part 2)

Mother Zhang couldn’t bear to watch any longer. Although there were many things, if they were divided according to Xiao Wu’s way, there would be no way to make cured meat. When spring comes and there’s a shortage of meat during the busy farming season, they would be ready; the cured meat could be stored in a small warehouse afterwards.

Xi Zi called Zhang Guoqing over. Zhang Guoqing checked the time, which seemed about right, so he ran to the kitchen and used fire tongs to pick up a mud ball, checking to find it indeed cracked open.

He smiled at Xi Zi, "The little guys are really familiar with it. Here’s a task for you, right now! Immediately! Serve the wine to your grandfather, your dad, and your second uncle! Then come back quickly."

Xi Zi happily saluted him, "Yes, sir. Just a moment, Commander. I’ll be right back." He grabbed three bowls and ran to the living room to set them up.

Mr. Zhang saw him running over, "What are you doing, no rush, be careful not to fall."

"Grandfather, my little uncle gave me a task, serving the wine. I’m going to call my dad and second uncle."

Xi Zi made a round trip back to the kitchen. Zhang Guoqing had already cracked open the clay to reveal the chicken wrapped in lotus leaves, smelling delicious. The wild chicken had mushrooms and cured meat stuffed inside, four plates in total were placed without being cut, he casually sliced one plate and handed it to his eldest sister-in-law to take it along with the pig tails to the main room.

"Xi Zi, this plate is sliced for you all; you and the little brothers and sisters eat together. You take it to the main room and call them. Once little uncle cuts all this, I’ll mix up some Milo to drink with the wild chicken. How does that sound? Living the life, right?"

Xi Zi gave a thumbs-up, "Awesome, really awesome."

Zhang Guoqing watched him take it and run, quickly calling after him, "Have your grandma and mom come over."

Mother Zhang heard his shout from afar and returned to the kitchen with Huang Cuilan.

Zhang Guoqing saw his mother and eldest sister-in-law already back, picked up two plates of chicken, "Mom, Eldest Sister-in-law, Second Sister-in-law, all of you go to the small parlor in the west wing and have a drink with my mother-in-law. Go, go. Remember to bring your bowls and chopsticks."

Mother Zhang and the two sisters-in-law laughed heartily, "Okay, you go ahead, we’ll prepare a bit more meat to bring over."

Zhang Guoqing carried two plates of chicken and quickly ran to the room. After some thought, he decided to put them on the table in the inner room, took out the red wine Jiao Jiao had fetched before, opened it and placed it on the table, then took out a bottle of white wine, and said to the curious pair of mother and daughter, "Today is a happy day. We men are drinking in the main room, and Mom, my mother, and my sisters-in-law are drinking here. Enjoy yourselves. Jiao Jiao, I’ll make a cup of Milo for you, enjoy it while soaking up the atmosphere. This is called beggar’s chicken; I’ll slice it up."
