Su Keke and the other two were busy in the kitchen for more than an hour. It was not until one o'clock in the afternoon that everyone started to eat lunch.
Fortunately, Su Keke brought some snacks for everyone to fill their stomachs, otherwise everyone would be starving by now.
The RV restaurant was too small to accommodate so many people, so Su Keke and Grandma Qiao decided to eat in the living room.
The dishes were placed on the coffee table in the middle. The three young men and Dr. Ma sat on the sofa on the left, while Xiao Feiniu and his son and the village chief and his wife sat on the sofa on the right.
Su Keke and Grandma Qiao went to the dining room and moved two chairs to sit on the upper and lower sides of the coffee table. Everyone just formed a circle around the coffee table.
On the coffee table, steam was still rising from the freshly steamed dumplings. A large bowl full of them was placed in the middle. This was today's staple food.
In addition to the staple food, there are several other dishes! All of these dishes are cooked by Grandma Qiao, with Su Keke and Aunt Wang helping out. They are responsible for washing and cutting the vegetables.
In order to prevent everyone from feeling too exaggerated, Su Keke only took some meat and vegetables from the space!
We didn’t even dare to take out the seafood. Seafood was scarce in inland areas before the natural disaster, and it was even less available after the disaster.
There are braised spare ribs, stir-fried cabbage with black fungus, shredded pork with fish flavor, stir-fried vegetables with minced garlic, stewed meat with potatoes, and stir-fried cauliflower.
Even though there are only six dishes, Grandma Qiao cooked a large plate of each one.
Su Keke took out all the largest plates in the space.
"Sister Qiao! Xiao Su! This is not a normal meal for you! This is really too expensive for you!"
The village chief looked at the dishes on the coffee table, which were well-portioned, and was deeply moved. Since the natural disaster, no one had eaten such a sumptuous meal for a long time.
The others were the same, they swallowed their saliva several times, but they were too excited to pick up their chopsticks.
"Everyone, please feel free! This is a real home-cooked meal! Come and eat! You must be hungry after waiting for so long!"
Grandma Qiao said to everyone with a smile.
Su Keke took several small plates and placed them on the coffee table in front of everyone, then ran to the kitchen to get soy sauce and vinegar.
She said dumplings taste best when dipped in soy sauce and vinegar.
"We've never dipped dumplings in soy sauce or vinegar before! We basically just eat them as is! Let me try first!"
Xiao Feiniu stayed here one day longer than the others, and he became very familiar with Su Keke.
So he was the first one to pick up the chopsticks, picked up a big dumpling, dipped it in the soy sauce and vinegar in the small plate in front of him, and then ate it in a big bite.
"Well, you know what! These dumplings are delicious! They taste even better with soy sauce and vinegar!"
After hearing what Xiao Feiniu said, everyone started to pick up dumplings and dip them in soy sauce and vinegar. Su Keke couldn't wait to eat the dumplings too.
She had only eaten a few potato chips to fill her stomach and was already hungry.
"Don't just eat dumplings! Eat more vegetables! These spare ribs are good! Everyone try them!"
Grandma Qiao was eating and serving food at the same time, and the meal was very lively.
During the period, Su Keke and Grandma Qiao talked about many interesting things about coastal cities, and the village chief also said that in fact their village is not a real herdsman village.
Their parents moved to this grassland from the Central Plains and began to live in yurts and herd livestock.
The three young people also asked Su Keke a lot about other cities and asked if there were any particularly new and interesting things.
Su Keke also talked to them while they were eating. This meal brought everyone closer together, and Feiniu's father and Dr. Ma were no longer as reserved as they were at the beginning.
In less than forty minutes, most of the dishes on the coffee table had been eaten.
The village chief's wife sighed secretly. She was regretting that she had only been busy eating for herself and had not thought of leaving some food for Yan Zi to take back later.
But Grandma Qiao seemed to see through her thoughts. She stood up and said to everyone, "There are still a lot of dumplings in the kitchen! We made too many today, and Coco and I can't finish them all."
"I'll pack it up later. If you don't mind, you can take it back. Then you can heat it up and feed it to the children at home!"
"No! We can't eat and take at the same time!"
Everyone stood up consciously and waved to Grandma Qiao, saying that they could not take any more things.
The village chief looked at the weather outside the car and it was estimated that the rain would not stop for a while, so they had to go back as soon as possible. The family members in the cave were still waiting for news about their relatives!
No matter what, he had to go back and face it! He couldn't escape reality like this any longer.
"Xiao Su! Sister Qiao! Thank you so much for these two days! The villagers in the cave are still waiting for us to return. We want to go back to the cave first! We will come to see you in a few days!"
The village chief held his wife, Chen Tusheng held Xiao Feiniu, and everyone else bowed deeply to Su Keke and Grandma Qiao.
"What are you doing! We are all Chinese, and we should help each other."
Grandma Qiao and Su Keke also bent down and bowed with everyone else. They really didn't deserve such a great gift.
"Sister Qiao! Xiao Su! We'll be leaving first! You should be careful too. If you need us for anything, come to the nearest mountain on the grassland to find us."
The village chief's wife held Grandma Qiao and Su Keke's hands, her eyes full of gratitude. Her son Wang was able to save his life thanks to meeting these two kind people.
"Okay then! We won't keep you here! But it's raining too hard outside, I'll ask Coco to get you some raincoats!"
When Su Keke heard what Grandma Qiao said, she immediately went back to her room and entered her own space.
There weren't that many space raincoats, so Su Keke took eight sets of acid rain protection suits for the village chief and his men. These were better than raincoats, and most people wouldn't be willing to use them as raincoats.
After they had the raincoats, of course the next thing was supplies. We gave them four bags of 20 kilograms of rice and flour.
They took two boxes of 5-jin military rations from the Cheese Country, and filled several canvas bags with the lettuce and spinach they grew themselves in the space.
Su Keke also secretly stuffed a few packs of potato chips, which children like to eat, into the canvas bag.
Considering it was raining, they couldn't carry too many things with them, so Su Keke decided to take less for the time being.
"Uncle Wang! This is protective clothing against acid rain. Everyone should put it on in the car first. I have some supplies in my room. You can take them back when the time comes."
"I'll drive you to the foot of the mountain, otherwise it will be hard for you to carry so many things!"
Su Keke handed the protective suits in her hand to them one by one and said.
"Xiao Su! We'll take your protective suit! We really can't take the supplies! This is the end of the world, and your supplies must have been hard to come by."
The village chief said as he put on protective clothing.
"Village Chief, don't worry! Do you think Grandma Qiao and I will starve ourselves?"
"You must be feeling bad when you go back this time. Give more of these supplies to the families of the villagers who can't go back. Let them get through the difficulties they are facing now!"
After Su Keke finished speaking, she went to the front cab and drove the car.
When talking about those villagers who couldn't go back, everyone fell silent. Their hearts suddenly became empty. They didn't know how to face the villagers who had lost their loved ones when they returned.
Especially the village chief and Xiao Feiniu. After all, there were more than ten people who came out, but now only two of them can go back alive.
