Thinking of this, Du Wanying quickened her pace and was going to call Xiaofang over to eat together later.
Du family machinery factory.
Because it was cold, her grandparents didn't go out, so Du Wanying couldn't do whatever she wanted without any scruples.
As soon as she got home, she went into the kitchen and started washing vegetables and preparing the hot pot base.
The busy work lasted until 11 o'clock in the morning, and Du Wanying finally completed all the preparations.
Seeing that her parents and third brother had not yet finished get off work, Du Wanying went to the supply and marketing cooperative first.
Since He Xiaofang did not go home for lunch, Du Wanying had to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to find her.
When she arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative, Du Wanying bought some cakes and candies, and then went to the Finance Department to find He Xiaofang.
Du Wanying stood at the door of He Xiaofang's office and called out in a low voice, "Xiaofang, Xiaofang, come here quickly. I have something to tell you."
When He Xiaofang saw that it was her best friend, she quickly stood up from her seat and walked towards Du Wanying.
"Yingying, why are you here? Is there something wrong?"
He Xiaofang definitely wouldn't believe that Du Wanying had resolved the issue of the two tickets in such a short time, so that's why she asked this question.
Du Wanying: "Xiaofang, come to my house for lunch. We haven't eaten together for a long time."
He Xiaofang thought about it and agreed. Although she had already made an appointment with her colleagues to have lunch together, Yingying was more important.
Besides, she and Yingying hadn't had a good chat for a long time, and more importantly, she hadn't seen Du Yuanzhan for a long time.
He Xiaofang had heard that Du Yuanzhan was studying hard for the college entrance examination. That was why she didn't want to go to the Du family anymore, because she knew she was not worthy of Du Yuanzhan.
Not to mention whether Du Yuanzhan can get into university now, her family owes so much debt. If she doesn't pay it off, her parents will definitely not let her get married.
After all, after getting married, the salary will belong to someone else's family. How could her parents agree to that?
He Xiaofang's heart ached when she thought that it was impossible for her and Du Yuanzhan to be together.
He Xiaofang forced herself to smile and replied, "Okay, I'll go over when I get off work."
Du Wanying said happily: "Okay, then I'll go back first and wait for you."
When He Xiaofang saw her good friend being so carefree, she was very envious. She was obviously like this before, so why did everything change just because her brother was getting married?
When Du Wanying returned home, Zhao Fangling, Du Shuisheng and three others had already returned.
When Zhao Fangling saw her precious daughter coming back, she quickly came over and said, "Yingying, what are you planning to do for lunch? I'll help you with it."
"Mom, I've already prepared it. We can start eating when Xiaofang comes."
Zhao Fangling was completely bewildered when she heard her daughter's words. When was it ready? Clearly, when she went to the kitchen just now, the ingredients were still there, not fried yet?
"Yingying, when did you fry it? I've been sitting in the living room the whole time. Why didn't I see you come back?"
Du Wanying explained with a smile: "Mom, I prepared hot pot today. Let's have hot pot for lunch as a family."
Zhao Fangling was still confused after hearing her daughter's explanation. What was hot pot? She had never heard of it or eaten it in her life.
So she asked, "Hot pot, what is hot pot?"
"Mom, you'll know when we eat. I'll put everything on the table first, and then we can start eating when Xiaofang arrives."
As soon as He Xiaofang was mentioned, Zhao Fangling's attention was diverted. She asked after a while: "Xiaofang hasn't come to our house for so long, is there something wrong?"
Du Wanying: "No, it's just that her brother is getting married, and she's been busy with work and preparing things for her brother's wedding. She's been so busy every day that she doesn't have time to come to our house."
Zhao Fangling warned, "I'm glad you're okay, but you and Xiaofang have been friends since childhood. If she needs anything, please do your best to help her, okay?"
"Mom, I understand."
After instructing her daughter, Zhao Fangling looked at Du Yuanzhan and said, "Third brother, go to the guesthouse and call Xiao Jiang over to eat with us."
If they want Jiang Yufeng to be the son-in-law of their Du family, they must observe him carefully for a period of time. After all, this is a major event in their daughter's life and cannot be taken lightly.
Hearing his mother's words, Du Yuanzhan quickly responded: "Okay, I'll go now."
After Du Wanying and her parents prepared everything, He Xiaofang, Jiang Yufeng and her third brother also arrived.
Zhao Fangling quickly greeted them, "You've arrived just in time. Come sit down, everyone. It's time to eat."
He Xiaofang: "Thank you, Auntie."
Jiang Yufeng: "Thank you, Auntie."
He Xiaofang was stunned when she saw Jiang Yufeng. The reason was simply that this man was too handsome.
She had never seen such a handsome boy since she was a child. What's more, he was wearing a military uniform, which made him look even more heroic.
When everyone was seated, they saw the pot in front of them and the vegetables and meat placed around the table.
Zhao Fangling looked at the food on the table. She was still a little confused, so she looked at Du Wanying and asked, "Yingying, how do we eat this?"
Du Wanying demonstrated as she spoke: "Mom, after the soup in the pot boils, you can put these vegetables, meat and other ingredients into the pot to cook. After they are cooked, take them out and dip them in the dipping sauce in this small dish, and you can eat them."
Zhao Fangling understood what she heard, but she still doubted whether food cooked in this way would be delicious.
So she asked doubtfully, "So that's how it is, but can it be delicious without oil and salt?"
"Mom, you'll know after you try it later." Du Wanying continued, "By the way, this is the spicy hot pot, and next to it is the clear soup pot. If you can't eat spicy food, put the dishes you want to eat in the clear soup pot."
Soon the hot pot base began to boil, and everyone's eyes turned towards Du Wanying. It was obvious that everyone wanted Du Wanying to go first.
She didn't waste any time and directly put what she wanted to eat into the spicy pot, dipped it in the sauce, and put it into her mouth.
Then a satisfied expression appeared on his face. How could he not be satisfied? This was the first hot pot Du Wanying had eaten since she came here.
After seeing Du Wanying's reaction, everyone picked up their chopsticks and started eating like her.
"Wow, it's really good, delicious!"
“It’s absolutely delicious when dipped in this sauce.”
"Yingying, where did you learn this? This hot pot is really delicious."
Du Wanying tucked her hair behind her ears sheepishly and said, "I read in a book that this is the favorite food of the people in Sichuan and Shu regions."
According to legend, if there is a conflict that cannot be resolved, then treat him to a hot pot meal. If that doesn’t work, then treat him to two hot pot meals!
