Chapter 305: Inviting Guests
Especially the set of blue and white porcelain covered bowls, Dai Qing fell in love with them at first sight and took them home.
At ten o'clock in the morning, the furniture was delivered on time. Dai Qing instructed the workers to arrange it according to her requirements, paid the balance, and sent them off.
Then he turned around and started cleaning and wiping the furniture.
There is a long bar table against the wall in the living room, with a set of sofa chairs in the middle, surrounding a rectangular coffee table.
In the tea room on the right side of the room, there is also a rectangular tea table in the middle with a diamond stone tea table on it. In addition to the host chair, there are four guest chairs outside.
Then put the covered bowl I bought on it, and that feeling came immediately.
The most important thing is her bed, which is also made of rosewood. After being wiped clean, it looks simple and heavy. She likes it very much.
Everything was ready, and Dai Qing was sweating profusely.
As soon as I sat down to drink some water, Aunt Zhao came over with a basket and asked, "You've finished it so quickly?"
"I just finished my work. Auntie came just in time. Sit down and have a cup of tea." Dai Qing poured her a bowl of tea. "Time is tight. This is the jasmine tea I bought at the intersection. It tastes average, but it quenches your thirst."
"Haha~, Auntie doesn't care about that. You can still drink boiled water."
Aunt Zhao couldn't stop laughing. She took out a plate from the basket.
"These are the buns that my mom made this morning. Since you haven't started cooking yet, I'll give them to you to try."
"Thank you, Mom. I've been busy all morning. I'm really hungry."
Dai Qing looked at the big buns and took one without hesitation. She took a bite and her eyes lit up.
"What is this stuffing? It's delicious."
"This is the radish strips I dried. Chop them up and mix them with pork belly. Make steamed buns with them. They are so delicious. Everyone in my family loves them."
Seeing Dai Qing like it, Aunt Zhao was so happy that she looked at the furniture in the room and went straight into the room to take a look. She also turned around and asked her,
"It's such a big yard, why are you cleaning it up by yourself? Where are your family members? Why don't you come and help?"
"They're not here. I can clean it up by myself. It won't take long."
Dai Qing smiled and responded casually, saying that she had just arrived, and although Aunt Zhao looked kind, she still had to be on guard.
"That's right. I can tell you're a hard-working person. In just two days, this yard has changed so much."
Seeing her talking about her family with a relaxed look, Aunt Zhao didn't think much about it and left after a short visit.
After eating the two buns brought by Aunt Zhao, Dai Qing rested in the yard for a while, returned to the bedroom, lay on the bed, and was staring at the ceiling in a daze when she heard the buzzing of mosquitoes in her ears.
Well, if you want to sleep peacefully, you have to install a mosquito net.
Thinking of the good sleep she had in the evening, Dai Qing did not rest and went out shopping again.
Arriving at the nearby market, Dai Qing looked around, picking up a large bag of things in her hands, not even dropping the desk lamp.
Dai Qing worked until dark before she fell headfirst onto the bed. She looked at the mosquito net above her head and breathed a sigh of relief; it was finally done.
Dai Qing was extremely busy that day and wanted to take a break and go out for a meal, but when she woke up, it was almost dawn.
Forget about dinner. Dai Qing rubbed her stomach, turned over and continued to sleep. When she opened her eyes again, it was already 6:30 in the morning.
After stretching, Dai Qing got up, washed up, and went out for breakfast.
At this time, the breakfast menu had just started and there were not many people. Dai Qing ordered a bowl of tofu pudding with two fried dough sticks and a tea egg.
"Morning, Xiaoqing."
Aunt Zhao was standing in front of the stall holding a pot and greeted her with a smile.
"Good morning, Aunt Zhao. Please buy breakfast for the family."
"Yes, the elderly feel hungry. Buy breakfast for them in advance so they can eat as soon as they wake up. This saves time." Aunt Zhao smiled and went back with the pot.
Dai Qing returned home and continued to sort things until around nine in the morning, when she went to the entrance of the alley to make a phone call.
I called Tang Zikai first. The phone rang twice before being answered.
"Hello, who is this?"
"It's me, Dai Qing. I'm in the capital. Are you free? Let's have dinner together." Hearing the low tone on the other end of the phone, Dai Qing spoke softly.
Tang Zikai on the other end was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but confirm, "Dai Qing?"
"It's me," Dai Qing was stunned. Could it be that he had forgotten about her after not contacting her for a while?
That would be embarrassing.
"Hey, I thought you disappeared. You didn't even call me after you left." Tang Zikai said jokingly, "I can't go back until the day after tomorrow."
"It's okay, then the day after tomorrow. I bought a house in the capital. Xingzhou helped me find the house, and it's already been arranged. You're always welcome to visit."
After hearing Tang Zikai's agreement, Dai Qing directly shared with him her story of buying a house and explained the reason why she came to the capital.
Tang Zikai was silent for a moment, "Okay, I know, see you the day after tomorrow."
"goodbye."
She didn't know if it was her illusion, but she felt that Tang Zikai didn't seem very happy.
But on second thought, Dai Qing couldn't help laughing. That man was an iron-blooded soldier with a calm and self-controlled personality. How could he let his emotions leak out so easily?
Afterwards, she called the rest of the group to invite them, and Cai Kuan agreed immediately, and was very happy to hear her voice. Xing Zhou naturally had no problem either, as he had already called them in advance.
Only Jiang He's call went unanswered. Dai Qing waited for half an hour and called again, but still no one answered, so she had to give up.
After returning home, Dai Qing sat on the sofa and started planning. Since she was inviting people to dinner, how should she arrange it and where would be the appropriate place to arrange it?
Thinking about the identities of these people, Dai Qing couldn't help but feel troubled and stared at the ceiling in a daze.
Finally, she slapped her thigh and decided to cook a table for herself at home.
Her craftsmanship is not bad either. Instead of going through the trouble of looking for a restaurant on someone else's turf, she would rather do it herself.
After confirming this, Dai Qing went to the entrance of the alley and called Xing Zhou to ask about the tastes of several people and whether anyone had any dietary restrictions.
Xing Zhou was silent for a moment on the other end of the phone, and then confirmed again, "You said you wanted to cook for yourself?"
"Yes, I'm pretty good at cooking. The main thing is that I'm not familiar with this place and can't find a suitable hotel, so I just cook it at home and treat it as a warm-up feast for Qiao's new home."
Dai Qing finished speaking and added,
"Just a heads up, I don't accept gifts when I treat you to a meal."
In response to this, Xing Zhou on the other end of the phone chuckled, "I don't need your gift..."
The two talked for a while, and Dai Qing got to know the tastes of several people, especially Cai Kuan, who didn't like condiments like onions and garlic.
After confirming this, Dai Qing began to prepare.
After she came back with a bag of vegetables, she realized that she still needed a refrigerator.
Looking at the fresh ribs, pork belly, and chicken in the basket, Dai Qing's lips twitched.
She gritted her teeth and went to the department store to buy a double-door refrigerator, which cost her two thousand six hundred dollars.
