Chapter 39: Both the host and the guests are happy
A dish of boiled fish made everyone dizzy with its delicious aroma.
The fish slices are very thin, tender, tasty, fresh and spicy, really satisfying.
"This fish tastes so good."
"Bean sprouts are so crispy and spicy. I love bean sprouts the most."
"No, I need another bowl of rice." Platoon Leader Wang stood up with his empty bowl to get more rice. When he walked under the eaves, he found that there was no rice left.
Qian Lan saw it and said, "Wait a moment, there's still some noodles, they'll be put into the pot soon."
Platoon Leader Wang smiled and nodded, then went back with the empty bowl.
Yu Qiang frowned. Why isn’t the rice cooked enough yet?
No, when he scooped the rice just now, the steamer was full.
He glanced at his brothers at the table and realized that they ate too much.
Qian Lan went back to the kitchen to knead the dough. After kneading it for a while, she could roll it into dough sheets.
Yu Hui took out some pickled ginger, pickled chili peppers, and pickle stems from the pickle jar and deftly cut them into shreds with a knife.
After cutting, cut the processed chicken and duck offal together.
There are only two sets of chicken and duck offal, the quantity is a bit small, but add a lot of pickled ginger, pickled peppers, and kimchi and stir-fry them together, and the taste is still there.
Yu Hui stir-fried chicken and duck offal together. The chicken and duck offal were crispy, so they were ready quickly.
Yu Hui added 80% water to the pot and then went to help Qian Lan cut noodles.
She has excellent knife skills and the noodles she cuts are all the same thickness.
The water boiled and the noodles were put into the pot. Almost all the vegetables outside were eaten up, leaving only some soup.
Everyone was almost full when they finally remembered to toast Captain Yu.
The only things that can go with the wine are some peanuts and shredded tofu.
There was limited chicken offal, so after the noodles were cooked, Yu Hui added the seasonings directly into the vegetable basin, which of course had been cleaned.
The Yu family didn't have chili oil, so Yu Hui asked Qian Lan to go to her kitchen and get the chili oil she had fried.
Prepare the seasonings, put all the cooked noodles into a bowl, add the noodle soup, then scoop the fried chicken offal on the noodles, stir it twice with a large spoon, and a bowl of fragrant chicken offal noodles is ready.
Qian Lan was served noodles. "Here are the noodles, here are the noodles."
"For my birthday, I was thinking about eating noodles, so I only steamed one pot of rice." While Qian Lan asked everyone to scoop noodles, she also gave herself a little extra.
"Longevity noodles, longevity noodles. You must eat noodles on your birthday." Lei Dong said with a smile.
"Yes, the first bowl of noodles should be served to Captain Yu first."
Yu Qiang smiled and said, "You guys serve first, you guys serve first."
I’m afraid it won’t be enough and someone behind me won’t have enough to eat.
Qian Lan saw it and took his bowl and chopsticks to help him serve noodles.
"It's still cooking in the pot. There's plenty of noodles. Don't be polite with my sister-in-law. Just eat as much as you want." Qian Lan said generously as she picked the noodles.
"Okay." The soldiers responded with a smile.
After scooping out a bowl of noodles, Qian Lan took the bowl back to the kitchen, and the noodles in the pot were also ready.
Yu Hui prepared the ingredients again and poured in the remaining chicken offal, and Qian Lan brought it out again.
The yard was filled with the sound of people slurping noodles. When the second bowl of noodles was brought out, those who hadn't gotten noodles earlier each got a bowl, and there was still half a bowl left.
Gu Dong also got a bowl of noodles for Yu Jianshe, who was watching Beibei in the room.
Seeing that there was still some food left, Qian Lan added it to the bowls of a few soldiers who she thought were not full.
Qian Lan walked into the house with the empty basin and breathed a sigh of relief, "Finally, I'm done with my work."
"You must be hungry too. The rice is gone. Let's cook some noodles and eat them with the leftover vegetables." The two of them were busy in the kitchen and had no time to sit down and eat outside. At the beginning, Qian Lan took out some vegetables to keep.
It’s impossible for Xiao Yu to help out for the whole afternoon and not even get to eat the last bite of the delicious food.
Yu Hui nodded, rolled out the remaining dough and cut it into thin strips.
After working all afternoon and cooking so many dishes, she was really tired and had no appetite.
To make the noodles delicious, she adds more chili oil, which makes it spicy and appetizing.
Yu Qiang and others, who had already eaten and drunk their fill, were chatting animatedly in the yard.
Wu Hai was still sitting on the stool, his eyes looking towards the kitchen.
Mrs. Yu has been busy in the kitchen and has never come out. I don’t know whether she has eaten or not.
In the kitchen, Yu Hui and Qian Lan sat on small stools, slurping noodles. There were a few small bowls of vegetables on the chopping board, and they would pick up some with their chopsticks from time to time.
Every time she picked up something with chopsticks, Qian Lan would say, "It's delicious."
Yu Hui also cooked a small bowl of noodles and asked Gu Dongduan to feed Beibei.
Beibei had just had milk and didn’t eat much before he stopped.
By the time Qian Lan and Yu Hui finished eating, it was already dark. Although the lights in the yard were on, it was still a little dim.
The soldiers were about to leave, and before leaving, they all said they wanted to say goodbye to Yu Hui.
Yu Hui left the kitchen. She felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by so many young men.
However, these guys are really energetic.
Hey, she saw Wu Hai, she didn’t expect Wu Hai to come too.
When Wu Hai saw that she saw him, he grinned, revealing a few of his big white teeth, and looked a little embarrassed.
Yu Hui also smiled, which was considered a greeting.
"Sister-in-law, thank you for your hard work in making so many delicious dishes for us today." Platoon Leader Wang said to Yu Hui.
"Thank you for your hard work, sister-in-law." The others also said in unison.
Yu Hui smiled and waved her hands, "It's not hard, I'm just helping out, it's Sister Qian who's working hard."
Not only did he put in the effort, he also contributed money.
"Thank you for your hard work, Sister Qian." After hearing what she said, the soldiers looked at Qian Lan and said.
"It's not hard." Qian Lan smiled and waved her hand. "I'm sorry for the poor hospitality today. Please don't mind."
"As for Sister Qian's place, this is the most delicious meal I have ever had in my life."
"That's right, today's hospitality is really thoughtful."
"I haven't had such a comfortable meal in a long time."
"That's right..." Everyone said one after another.
Qian Lan smiled so hard that she couldn't close her mouth. "Just make sure you guys have eaten."
Qian Lan and Yu Qiang sent the people out together. The sensible Yu Jianshe took Yu Lixin to clean up the dishes, and Yu Hui also helped.
When Qian Lan came back and saw Yu Hui collecting the bowls, she stepped forward and snatched the bowl from her hand.
"Xiao Yu, you've worked really hard today. You should take the kids home and rest first. I'll be there in a moment. After I'm done cleaning up the tables and chairs, I'll have Jianshe and the others bring them to you."
Yu Hui was indeed tired. She was still a little weak due to malnutrition since childhood. She did not insist. She said goodbye to Yu Qiang and took the children back.
After cooking for the whole afternoon, she was smelling of cooking fumes. After a short break, she lit a fire, boiled a pot of hot water, and planned to take a shower and wash her hair.
Before the water was boiled, Yu Qiang, his father and his two sons returned the table and stools.
After school, Gu Dong played at home and didn't do his homework.
After the desk was delivered, I started to finish my homework.
He had just finished his homework when Yu Hui came out of the shower.
After watching Gu Dong and his two younger brothers wash up, Yu Hui washed Beibei's face, butt, and feet, and then took her to bed.
A busy day ends just like that.
