Chapter 346 Family Dinner

346 Family dinner

As it was getting late, I started preparing dinner.

Although Shen Yiyi is the chef, it is certainly impossible for her to prepare dinner for the whole family alone.

But I need help with cleaning up the food.

Qin Lie went to kill fish.

Qin Feng started to pry open the oysters, but the shells had to be kept because the oysters would be steamed in the shells and could be taken out of the pot directly after steaming.

As for the abalone, this has been taken over by Chen Chi and he will take care of it.

When Chen Chi saw the abalones, he couldn't help but praise them, "These abalones are so fat!"

"Of course not, I picked them all myself." Shen Yiyi said with a smile.

They were all very plump, but they also needed to be cleaned up properly. She saw that Chen Chi was very experienced. It was obvious that he had eaten them at home and helped to clean them up, so there was no need to worry.

Compared with the above two items, crabs and prawns are much simpler to prepare. Qin Hong will be in charge of them.

Just rinse the tied crabs and the same goes for the shrimps, they are not dirty.

The chef Shen Yiyi chopped garlic and green onions, and after the abalone and oysters were prepared, she put the minced garlic and green onions on top. Two-thirds of the minced garlic and green onions also had a little chili pepper to enhance the flavor.

Don’t add chili to the remaining one-third because the children want to eat it.

There is really no need to do anything with these seafoods. Just clean them up and steam them in a steamer to get the most delicious taste.

The portion of each of the above four dishes is sufficient.

However, because there were so many people, the seafood alone was not enough.

So let's have some braised pork trotters, some braised lamb chops, a pot of stewed pork ribs and a steamed fish.

After Qin Lie was killed, Shen Yiyi cut a few cuts on the meat, put chopped green onions, ginger and salt on it, and put it in the steamer.

These dishes are absolutely incomparable.

Qin Hong said: "Third sister-in-law, isn't it a bit too much?"

"Not much. My second sister and brother-in-law will be back soon." Shen Yiyi said.

Although she is the chef, she has so many helpers. They just need to prepare everything for her and then she can cook. It is very easy for her.

"My second sister and brother-in-law are coming too?" Qin Hong smiled immediately.

Mother Qin, who was selecting vegetables, said, "They are coming. Last time when they delivered the meat, they specifically told me to let her know as soon as you came back."

So when I heard yesterday that they were coming back, I asked Qin Feng to go over and inform them.

As they were talking, Su Yaozu arrived with Qin Ru.

"Second sister, second brother-in-law." Qin Hong said with a smile.

"Are you back?" Qin Ru was also happy and brought Su Yaozu into the house. However, this aunt's eyes fell directly on her brother-in-law Chen Chi.

"This is Chen Chi, my girlfriend." Qin Hong introduced with a smile, and also introduced Chen Chi, "Chen Chi, this is my second sister Qin Ru, and her second brother-in-law Su Yaozu."

The two sides got to know each other, and Su Yaozu and Chen Chi, the brothers-in-law, also shook hands.

"Okay, you guys go sit down, I'll go into the kitchen to help Yi Yi." Qin Ru rolled up her sleeves and went into the kitchen to help.

Qin Lie complained to her, "You came after we were done with our work. Wasn't that accurate?"

Qin Ru didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Old Third, you are my brother, you shouldn't wrongly accuse me like this, okay?"

Shen Yiyi smiled: "Ignore him, he did it on purpose."

Qin Ru knew that she was not one who could not take a joke, so she gave her younger sister a thumbs up and whispered, "You picked well."

Qin Ru also had a pair of sharp eyes and a keen eye for judging people. She had a very good impression of Chen Chi and was very satisfied with him.

Qin Hong smiled softly and said, "My third brother and sister-in-law picked it for me."

"It's right to listen to your third brother and his wife." Qin Ru nodded with a smile, and was also happy that her younger sister had found her other half.

After a while, Qin Ningning, Hengheng, and Fantuan also came back from next door.

The three siblings were very happy to see so many people at home when they came back.

At about five o'clock, Qin's father also arrived home.

Seeing that grandpa had come back, Hengheng, the little flatterer, went to pour water for grandpa.

"Grandpa, drink some water!"

"Okay." Father Qin took it with a smile, "Thank you, my eldest grandson."

Hum: "You're welcome, Grandpa, you work hard to make money."

These words made the whole family burst into laughter!

By this time, the kitchen was almost ready. Shen Yiyi said with a smile, "Everyone, come and take the dishes out."

So they came in one by one and served the dishes, a whole table full of delicious food!

Hengheng and Fantuan were sitting between grandpa and grandma, and their attention was attracted by the delicious food on the table.

The two guys are very serious about eating. They don't even bother with the bibs and just focus on eating!

Qin Hong peeled shrimps for Hengheng and Fantuan.

Mother Qin smiled and said, "Your father and I can come."

"Well, eat by yourself." Qin's father also said. He put lamb chops on the plates for his two grandsons, and of course there was also abalone, one for each of them, and they were all non-spicy.

The two brothers had already dried the shrimps that the young lady had peeled, and had been eyeing the meat. As soon as the lamb chops fell onto the plate, they grabbed them and ate them.

While eating, he said it was delicious. It was really delicious!

Qin Ru looked at her two nephews with a smile. They were really good at talking. She peeled some shrimps for the two brothers and of course did not forget to peel some for her niece as well.

"Thank you, aunt. I can do it myself." Qin Ningning said politely.

When she was little, she would ask the elders to peel shrimps for her, but now that she is so old, she does it by herself. Whether she is eating shrimps, abalone or crabs, she will ask her father to help her to pick them up if they are far away.

Qin Ru smiled and let her niece eat by herself.

Father Qin asked Chen Chi: "Does this count as a holiday?"

"I can take three days off, but after that I have to go back to work." Chen Chi said, and then he saw Qin's mother bring him crabs. He quickly took the crabs on a plate and said, "Thank you, Auntie."

We are engaged but not married yet, so you cannot call them mom and dad yet. You can change your words after you get married.

"Yaozu, you have one too." Qin's mother did not show favoritism and gave one to her eldest son-in-law as well.

Su Yaozu smiled, "Mom, I can do it myself."

"Well, eat more." Mother Qin said with a smile, and gave each of her two grandsons a bite of fish.

With the help of grandpa and grandma, Hengheng and Fantuan finished their meals first. The two brothers even forgot to drink their drinks because the food on the table was so delicious!

They each ate an abalone, five or six shrimps of that size, the fish meat fed by grandma, the crab roe dug out by grandpa, two lamb chops, the fragrant and soft pig's trotter meat, and a plump corn bun!

Finally, have a few sips of kelp soup and you’ll be full!

Shen Yiyi wanted to clean up for them, but Qin's mother told her to just sit down and eat, so she got some hot water for the two brothers and cleaned up.

Wash your hands and wipe your mouth before letting the two brothers go play.

"I haven't had my drinks yet." The two brothers did not forget to bring their drinks with them. They also like drinking drinks now!

Qin Ningning, the elder sister, was also full, so she came over with her drink to drink with her younger brothers.

The children went to play, and the adults continued to eat and chat while eating. The atmosphere was particularly good.
