There were indeed people who were planning to eat it, but after hearing what the captain said, those people secretly gave up the idea.
Led by the team leader, everyone presented housewarming gifts before sitting down to eat.
There were ten people sitting at each table, but because there were not enough tables and chairs, all three tables were full and only one-third of the people were seated.
There is no choice but to eat it in batches.
The guests were seated and the dishes were served.
First, serve a portion of braised chicken with lots of potatoes, carrots and other side dishes.
Next is the seafood.
Braised fish, seared shrimp, razor clams and mussels, fried squid with celery, fried hairtail, steamed crab, steamed egg, water spinach with garlic, and fried sweet potato leaves.
Finally, there is a big bowl of sweet potato rice.
There are a total of ten dishes, although in the eyes of fishermen, the only dish that can be called a meat dish is the braised chicken.
But there is also a big meat dish, steamed egg!
Moreover, so many seafoods are actually considered meat dishes, which are not often available nowadays.
So when Qiao Qingqing's housewarming party was unveiled, it was still very shocking.
The Zhang family members who lived in the town and could not go fishing on their own, as well as the leaders of the company, were already salivating after seeing such a sumptuous meal.
I was secretly thinking that today's gift was not delivered.
This table of food is in no way inferior to the gifts they brought!
At this time, Zhang Feng regretted not giving money, but he listened to his wife and gave some eggs and two pieces of cloth.
After all, their family of three came today, which was equivalent to giving a gift and eating a meal for three people.
But it’s no use regretting it now, so let’s just eat first.
The ratio of sweet potato to rice is not the usual 1:4 or 7:3, but 5:5 or even 4:3. The rice is not less than the sweet potato, and it even seems to be more than the sweet potato.
Each person was served a full bowl of sweet potato rice and began to feast on it.
Qiao Qingqing and Lu Heng did not sit at the table either.
After all, at times like this, we have to take care of the guests first.
The two of them entertained the male and female comrades who were not at the table separately to avoid making others feel uncomfortable.
In fact, when the villagers saw that Qiao Qingqing and her husband had not had enough food to eat just like themselves, their resentment basically disappeared.
It took three rounds, which meant nine tables in total, to entertain all the guests.
During the third round, Qiao Qingqing and her husband, along with the educated youth who came to help and three female comrades, also sat at the table.
Including the eight old educated youth in Qiao Qingqing's family, plus Lu Heng and Feng Xiumei, there were just enough places to fill a table.
The other two women who cooked took another table and sat with the villagers they knew.
As soon as Qiao Qingqing sat down, she thanked everyone gratefully.
"Thanks for your hard work today. Otherwise, my place would be in chaos! You must be starving after working all morning. Come eat! If you don't have enough, we have more in the kitchen."
Although the braised chicken was not a big portion, the other dishes were adequate.
Everyone was so hungry that when they heard Qiao Qingqing's words, they all nodded and stretched out their chopsticks impatiently.
Although we have braised fish today, it actually didn’t take much oil in total.
The fish is fried in batches, and the oil from frying the fish is used for cooking. Aunt Xiumei has a very precise grasp of this and will never use a drop of oil more than necessary.
When eating, no one peeled the shrimps, everyone just picked them up and ate them.
Qiao Qingqing usually peeled the shrimps when eating them, but this time she thought it was too much trouble and didn't want to do anything special, so she didn't do it.
