Chapter 33 Dinner



I found two sets of work clothes for the period credit shoot, a few pairs of gloves, a straw hat, and a pair of Liberation shoes.

These are all the equipment she will need to work in the fields tomorrow, but she doesn't know which team she will be assigned to.

"Bai Zhiqing, Bai Zhiqing, come and eat!"

Li Xiaomei cooks very quickly, and soon she came to call Bai Guoguo to eat.

"Hey, okay, I'll be right there!"

Bai Guoguo agreed and poured the boiling fish soup in the pot into the large basin filled with mint, and then filled it with the fish soup.

The boiling hot fish soup cooked the mint immediately. Suddenly, the whole bowl of fish soup exuded a sweet aroma mixed with the fragrance of mint, which whetted your appetite!

Li Xiaomei, who was standing outside the door waiting for her, couldn't help but swallow a few times, and her face turned red with embarrassment.

You really can't blame her for craving meat. The lives of the educated youth were too hard. Except for a few who were financially supported by their families, everyone else lived in poverty.

The monthly subsidy of food and meat coupons was fixed, which was not enough to fill your stomach, let alone eat meat.

The last time they ate meat was during the Chinese New Year, and it has been a month and a half.

Bai Guoguo poured all the fish from the fish pond into the jar basin, which was almost full. She had to wear work gloves before she dared to carry the basin.

Li Xiaomei helped her close the door from behind and watched with fear as Bai Guoguo walked quickly towards the front yard with a full pot of fish soup.

In fact, Bai Guoguo learned the skill of serving dishes when he was working in a Western restaurant.

In addition, she has gained strength after drinking the spiritual spring water, otherwise she would not dare to walk so fast carrying such a full pot of boiling hot soup.

"Ouch, Bai Zhiqing is carrying such a big pot of soup. Everyone, please move aside and don't block her way. Bai Zhiqing, be careful and don't burn yourself!"

The educated youths like Bai Guoguo and Li Xiaomei who were sitting at the eight-immortals table in the main hall in the front yard looked at her in surprise as she came over with a basin full of soup, and quickly made way for her.

"Make way, make way, everyone, move the food off the table and make room for me!"

The educated youth hurriedly moved the dishes away to make room for her to put the pot, but most of them were happy to see such a full pot of fish soup.

"Oh, it's finally delivered, oh my arm!" Bai Guoguo finally put the soup on the table safely and rubbed his sore arm.

"Bai Zhiqing, next time you need this kind of heavy work, you can ask us to do it. We have so many grown men in the front yard, don't you think?"

Big brother Song Qingshan joked while arranging a seat for Bai Guoguo, and the male educated youth nodded one after another.

When they went to work in the afternoon, they heard that Bai Zhiqing had caught some fish to add to their gathering.

They originally thought that just taking out a few pieces would be enough, but who knew that Bai Zhiqing was so honest and made a full pot. They were all somewhat touched.

"Oh, if I had known this would happen, I would have called you. I've lost this time, but next time I won't be polite to you and I won't let you go!"

Bai Guoguo's humorous words made everyone laugh, and the dinner party at the educated youth point began with laughter and joy.

Today's table is more sumptuous than during Chinese New Year. Yang Xiaoyong and Wang Qiuyu brought bacon and sausages, and fried potatoes.

The six salted duck eggs contributed by Li Dongyang were also steamed and each person was cut in half.

The most eye-catching thing is Bai Guoguo’s fish soup, which fills an entire enamel basin. It is delicious and very popular.

In addition, there were tofu, eggs and salted fish specially contributed by the old educated youth.

I made tofu stewed with soybean paste, scrambled eggs with leeks, steamed salted fish, cabbage stewed with vermicelli, and some pickled cucumbers.

The staple food was corn pancakes cooked in a pot with tofu stewed with soybean paste. Everyone was full and satisfied after the meal.

In those days, there was a shortage of oil and water, and everyone had a big appetite. All the dishes on the table were swept away, even the big pot of fish soup was drunk up, and the fish meat was shared out.

This meal effectively brought the new and old educated youth closer together.
