Chapter 135 You are so pleasing to look at
Zhao Fa extended his hand and made a gesture of invitation, letting Secretary Cui sit at the main seat, and then invited Tan Chen and Deputy Captain Wang to come to the table together.
When Aunt Chen Si and Sister Liu saw that the leader was about to start the meal, they tactfully withdrew.
Tan Chen only now realized that Zhao Fa asked Old Lady Shang to call him to the team so that he could have dinner with Secretary Cui.
He was also a man who had seen a lot of things, so he sat there confidently, smiling at Shang Ruoting, who also smiled back.
Secretary Cui looked up and saw the young couple flirting with each other. He was also an experienced person and knew that this was normal for newlyweds.
"Shang Ruoting, stop standing and sit down to eat together."
Tan Chen also stretched out his hand and pulled Shang Ruoting to sit next to him.
Secretary Cui looked at the dishes on the table. Although he had eaten out in the city before, these dishes still gave him a refreshing feeling.
"Hehe... Before we start eating, please ask Chef to introduce some of these dishes!"
Shang Ruoting pointed to the four dishes and one soup on the table and introduced them confidently.
"This is braised pork and eggs, this is braised tofu, this is refreshing cabbage, this is mashed potatoes with sauce, and this is radish and meatball soup."
Generally speaking, everyone present had eaten braised pork before, but this was the first time they had seen it with fried eggs.
There is also the fried tofu dish. The thick triangular slices of tofu are fried until golden brown and decorated with carrots and green onion leaves. It looks very appetizing.
The evenly chopped cabbage is topped with a layer of lean minced meat and garnished with red chili oil. It looks delicious at first glance.
The mashed potatoes are even more special. Shang Ruoting specially used a rice bowl to shape the potatoes, placed them in a round shape in the center of the plate, and poured a layer of red sauce on them. If she hadn't introduced it in advance, no one would have been able to tell what kind of dish it was.
The radish and meatball soup is nothing special, but the green chopped green onions floating on top still add visual color to the dish.
When Tan Chen was blind, he had eaten Shang Ruoting's cooking a few times. At that time, he knew that his wife's cooking skills were good. Today, he saw that it was more than good.
He could be a great chef.
But thinking about how good Mrs. Shang was at cooking, it wasn't surprising that her granddaughter could do the same. At this moment, he inexplicably felt a sense of pride in his heart...
Just as everyone was salivating over the dishes, Secretary Cui finally spoke up: "Everyone, stop looking and eat!"
Zhao Fa and Deputy Captain Wang couldn't wait any longer. When they heard Secretary Cui speak, they exchanged a few polite words and quickly put food into their bowls.
Secretary Cui did the same. He directly picked up a piece of fried tofu with his chopsticks and put it into his mouth.
Tan Chen and Shang Ruoting did not seem as anxious as they were. After all, they had an old lady who was a great chef at home and often cooked delicious food for them.
The dishes made by Shang Ruoting are still inferior to those made by Old Lady Shang, but for those who have never tasted Old Lady Shang’s cooking, they are simply delicious.
Zhao Fa swallowed the braised pork in his mouth and gave Shang Ruoting a thumbs up. "Mm, it's delicious. No wonder Ruoting asked to prepare lunch. I'm afraid no one in the village can match her cooking skills."
Shang Ruoting was praised by Zhao Fa, and she exchanged a glance with Tan Chen. They both knew that there was an old lady who was a superb chef in their family. You didn't know...
Deputy Captain Wang was too busy to comment and just ate mouthful after mouthful. Even Secretary Cui was not reserved at all and praised the food as delicious while eating.
After the meal, all the dishes were finished. Secretary Cui rubbed his bloated belly a little embarrassedly.
"Haha... My trip to Sihe Village was really worth it, I can eat such delicious food."
As he spoke, he looked at Shang Ruoting again: "Ruoting, thank you for treating me with such delicious food. You are so pleasing to the eye. In the future, when there are no outsiders around, please don't call me Secretary Cui. I am exactly 40 this year, so just call me Uncle Cui from now on."
Zhao Fa and Deputy Captain Wang were looking at Shang Ruoting with envy at this moment. You know, Secretary Cui would not say such words easily. Judging from his performance today, it was obvious that he was very satisfied with Shang Ruoting.
Shang Ruoting nodded generously under the gaze of everyone, "Okay, from now on, when there are no outsiders around, I will call you Uncle Cui."
Secretary Cui laughed: "Hahaha... I said I have a good eye. This girl Ruoting is definitely good at both work and in her interpersonal relationships." As he said that, he gave everyone a thumbs up.
This lunch was a great pleasure for both the host and the guests. Secretary Cui drank the tea brought by the members and looked at the watch on his wrist.
"It's almost time. The commune has decided to announce the results of the breeding competition at 2:00 PM sharp. We have to rush over now."
Then he looked at Zhao Fa and said, "Take Comrade Tan Chen's severance agreements with you and stamp them directly."
Tan Chen quickly stood up and thanked him: "Thank you Secretary Cui for your concern."
Secretary Cui was very happy at the moment and waved his hand directly: "You're welcome. If you don't mind, you can follow Ruoting and call me Uncle Cui in the future."
Tan Chen smiled and called out, "Uncle Cui."
