Bai Guoguo and the He family have been busy all morning preparing this big meal, and now they can finally start eating.
The guests were stunned when they saw the dishes on the table as they didn’t even eat like this during Chinese New Year!
Look at what dishes are on the table!
Then the boss had a big bowl of braised pork and potatoes, with the meat and potatoes at least half and half, unlike what they make at home, where they only put a few slices to enhance the flavor.
The braised pork was cut into square pieces, stewed with a fragrant sauce, soft and tasty, and even the skin was trembling. It looked delicious, and even the potatoes in the braised pork tasted sweet!
The chicken soup in the enamel basin was covered with bright yellow oil, and with the stewed shiitake mushrooms and mushrooms in it, the aroma was so overbearing!
The mixed fish stewed with farm-made soybean paste in a small soup bowl were almost cooked until crispy. It smelled so fresh and fragrant and looked so tempting!
The most tempting one is the pot of pork head mixed with cucumber. The fat slices of pork are mixed with cucumber and coriander seasoning. If you take a bite of it, you will not know how delicious it is!
Even the pig offal, which the rural people usually don’t like to cook, was braised to make it fragrant and tempting, without any fishy smell. A small bowl of mashed garlic was also served on the side as a dipping sauce. The food was really exquisite!
As for the sour and spicy shredded potatoes and pickles, they are not so eye-catching.
At least they are not so eye-catching in the eyes of those who love meat, but Bai Guoguo loves these two the most.
Maybe it’s because spring is here and the weather is a bit dry and irritating, so she has recently started to love eating this kind of bright green vegetable. Just looking at it makes her hungry!
On each dining table, there are small bamboo baskets filled with buns and pancakes that are almost piled up into small mountains. These are fine grains that are rarely seen in normal times!
Everyone secretly murmured that the banquet hosted by this young educated youth was really grand!
As the host, Bai Guoguo didn't say a word. Although everyone was drooling with greed, no one picked up their chopsticks.
Seeing that everyone was there, Bai Guoguo walked to the middle of the yard with a small bowl of tea.
"Thank you all for your hard work during this period, and thank you all my friends and family for coming to congratulate me on the raising of the new house's beam. I also thank Grandpa He, Grandma Wen, Uncle He, Aunt Wang, Sister Zhang, and Brother He for helping me organize this banquet. Grandpa He, please say a few words!"
Bai Guoguo asked Mr. He to stand up and say a few words. From a public perspective, he borrowed someone else's house to hold a wedding banquet, and from a private perspective, he and He Gang were dating.
One naturally has to show more respect to the elders in one's partner's family. Besides, both Mr. He and Mrs. Wen are anti-Japanese heroes, so no amount of respect is too much.
Moreover, Mr. He is the oldest person at the scene. If he doesn’t start eating, no one else dares to eat!
The old man stood up. Although he was over seventy years old, he was still strong and healthy, with a straight back and an aura of majesty without even being angry.
"Thank you all for coming to Xiaobai's banquet to celebrate her birth of the first beam. May the beam be as solid as a mountain, protecting Xiaobai's home and family, and may her career be successful, her family harmonious, and her life filled with happiness and well-being!"
"Everyone, eat and drink well. If you need anything, please find Gangzi and Hongjun. Xiaobai is a little girl who has worked hard for our brigade and has made great contributions. I hope everyone will treat her well. Okay, everyone, let's eat!"
Although the old man doesn't talk much, he treats Bai Guoguo as his own junior and his blessings are sincere and heartfelt.
At the end, she did not forget to remind everyone to take good care of her. Bai Guoguo was so moved that her eyes turned red and her heart felt warm.
"Dad, don't worry. I treat Xiaobai as my own descendant and will definitely not let her suffer any injustice. Our team will definitely not let her suffer any injustice. She is our hero, hahahaha!"
Uncle He smiled and helped the old man sit down. Everyone present nodded in agreement, saying some words of thanks or courtesy to each other.
"Thank you, Grandpa He, and everyone. I will work harder to contribute to the construction of our new countryside. Let me offer you a cup of tea instead of wine. Enjoy yourselves, and let's eat!"
Bai Guoguo smiled and turned around with the bowl in her hand, toasting the old man, the old lady and everyone with tea instead of wine.
He Gang's father and mother watched this scene with smiles in their eyes, and were extremely satisfied with their future daughter-in-law.
He Gang's aunt also likes Bai Guoguo very much. She thinks that this girl is open-minded and capable, and that her nephew is lucky.
Old Mrs. Wen also looked at Bai Guoguo with a smile the whole time. This little girl was very tactful, generous and decent, and had the bearing of a noble person.
In fact, the old lady didn't know that these were all things Bai Guoguo learned before she traveled through time as a host, taking etiquette classes, attending ceremonies of all sizes, and living in the world of fame and fortune.
But no one was interested in these things at the moment, as everyone's attention was attracted by the food on the table.
It smells delicious before you taste it, and it smells even more delicious after you taste it.
Except for the table with the elderly, the other tables were filled with the sounds of chopsticks flying, and everyone was eating enthusiastically.
Bai Guoguo, Li Xiuxiu, and Zhang Saozi took care of the children while they ate. The children were still young and they were afraid that they would choke if they ate too fast.
"Sister Xiaobai, the food you cook is so delicious, it smells so good!"
Gangdan stuffed his mouth full, but he still didn't forget to praise Bai Guoguo.
Tiedan next to him nodded while eating. Xiaolanhua and Yingzi were in the process of changing their teeth, and they covered their mouths and smiled embarrassedly.
Only Lao Gao, who was at the head of the little tiger table, thought to himself.
Sister Bai, who cooks such delicious food, will soon become his aunt. Humph, then he can eat her every day!
