Mo Beihan brought two dried chickens, two dried rabbits, two dried fish, ten kilograms of pork, ten kilograms of pork ribs, sixty eggs, twenty kilograms of tofu and ten kilograms of rice.
In addition, there were ten feet of cloth and ten kilograms of cotton.
In her previous life, Gu Qingyao's family had been very good to her. Mo Beihan knew very well that in this life, Yaoyao would not be stingy with her family if she had good things. But most of the time, the things she gave out had to have a source.
Now that there were so many children in the Gu family, as well as her aunt and cousin, Mo Beihan felt that it was most important to give them some cloth and cotton in the middle of winter.
Anyway, there were not many rules in this era. Anything good could be counted as a betrothal gift.
He had already restrained himself, but when he took out these things, everyone was still shocked.
It was still early and the other guests had not arrived yet. But when the Gu family saw these things, they were still very surprised.
Especially Eldest Aunt, Third Aunt, and a few brothers, Eldest Uncle and Third Uncle.
"So … so much?"
Third Aunt, Zhou Ping, was at a loss when she saw so many good things.
It was the first time in her life that she had seen so many good things. This was only an engagement. It should be known that many families nowadays could get a wife with only two hundred kilograms of coarse grain.
Even families with better conditions could get a wife with a little more fine grain.
In all her years, it was the first time that she had seen so many gifts from the groom's family. And this was only an engagement!
Although the grain was only ten kilograms of rice, there were so many meat dishes …
Mo Beihan smiled. Yaoyao was his treasure. Of course, he would give Yaoyao enough face.
"Third Aunt, these are only the dishes for the banquet. There are more outside for the brigade. We are only getting engaged, so there is no need to hold a big banquet. We will just make some food to let everyone feel happy."
There was more?
Zhou Ping was shocked. He went to the yard and saw Mo Beihan take out two big fish from the cart. Seeing the two big fish, Zhou Ping was so shocked that he couldn't speak.
These two fish were really big. Each of them weighed about a dozen pounds. The fish were very long. When Mo Beihan held them in his hands, their bodies drooped down and almost touched the ground.
It was the first time in Zhou Ping's life that he had seen such a big fish.
Mo Beihan smiled and said, "These two fish can be used to make fish soup. Add some tofu and mushrooms and boil it into a big pot. When the brigade comes, they can just drink some of it."
Although it was an engagement and there was no formal banquet, the people in the brigade would definitely come over to have fun. When the guests were invited to eat in the house, those people couldn't just watch, especially those children.
Later, when they were cooking, the aroma would waft out. Today was a good day, so those children would definitely come.
If it was someone else's house, two pieces of candy would be enough.
But Mo Beihan didn't want to. He just wanted Gu Qingyao to be a little more glamorous.
Although the Gu family's background wasn't good, the Mo family's background was good. He had a respectable job and was also doing well in the Southern Lake Brigade. It was still acceptable for him to be a little more glamorous.
Zhou Ping looked at the two big fish. He was so shocked that his eyes almost popped out. This … this was for others to eat?
That was about 15 pounds of meat. How could it be eaten by others?
Eldest Aunt Fang Ling was calmer. She hurriedly said, "Take these in first. As for the fish … put it outside first."
Later, there would be people coming over. Mo Beihan brought so much over, so it was inevitable that people would be jealous. Therefore, they couldn't put it all out in the open.
Fang Ling and Zhou Ping brought all the meat and vegetables that Mo Beihan had brought into the kitchen. The two big fish were placed outside by the well.
