Chapter 27: Treating (Part 1)

Shi Tingyu didn't expect Lu Weiguo to still be thinking about this.

"Actually, it's okay if you don't have it." She said. Having seen the things in the future, she was not as obsessed with the current three turns and one sound as people nowadays.

"Watch, bicycle, sewing machine and tape recorder, none of them can be missing." Lu Weiguo said seriously.

Seeing this, Shi Tingyu replied seriously: "If you must buy something, I think a watch is enough."

Seeing that Lu Weiguo was about to say something, Shi Tingyu took his hand and said: "You really don't need to buy anything else. Nowadays, bicycles are all 28-inch, which is too high for me. Besides, don't you have one? As for the sewing machine, I seldom do needlework, and if I buy it, it will just be left at home gathering dust."

"What about the radio? You can use this at home." Lu Weiguo always felt that he gave too little.

To be honest, Shi Tingyu didn't like listening to the radio.

Nowadays, the radios are basically some news and current affairs, or the children's program "Little Trumpet", or poetry recitation and the like.

For Shi Tingyu, who came from the era of information explosion, these did not attract her.

Moreover, the lifespan of these things is relatively short, and they are updated very quickly, so it is really unnecessary to buy them now.

So, she said to Lu Weiguo: "I don't like the programs in the radio very much. I will buy it later when the radio can listen to more programs."

Seeing her sincerity, Lu Weiguo gave up the idea of ​​buying all of them and took her to the watch counter.

In the end, Shi Tingyu chose a Shanghai brand women's watch. The silver strap looked very good on her wrist.

For some people, wearing a watch makes the watch show off, but they look gray, like a nouveau riche who secretly wears jewelry.

For Shi Tingyu, wearing a watch complements each other.

Temperament is something very mysterious. When someone wears a famous brand, they are obviously fair, rich and beautiful, while when someone wears a famous brand, others think it is a high imitation.

Obviously, Shi Tingyu is very suitable for wearing a watch.

Lu Weiguo looked at Shi Tingyu's slender white wrist, thinking that such a wrist would look good even if she tied

a piece of wool. After buying the watch, Shi Tingyu seemed to have completely forgotten that she had a watch on her wrist, and just did what she had to do.

Lu Weiguo couldn't help thinking that with her previous conditions, watches must not be rare.

Nowadays, when people buy a watch, they have to roll up their sleeves.

He remembered that when his cousin, who was a policeman, bought a watch for the first time, he would give the wrist with the watch the best position when taking pictures, and he didn't care whether the posture of showing the watch when taking pictures was weird.

Shi Tingyu and Lu Weiguo counted before coming. In addition to the two of them, there were three company commanders, two battalion commanders, and their first battalion instructor Feng Wei. Finally, they had to add the second battalion commander's wife, Zhang Saozi, and son Damao, a total of ten people.

One table was set.

Shi Tingyu didn't want to make it complicated. The men could eat, so she didn't make so many dishes one by one. It was not suitable for the current situation to arrange the dishes beautifully and in small quantities. She just made the same dish larger, tasted better, and had more oil and water, so that they would be happy.

According to the current level, five dishes and one soup are enough.

Her original menu was roasted meat with potatoes, braised pork trotters, spicy clams, chicken stewed with mushrooms, boiled fish, and finally made fish head tofu soup with the boiled fish head, and it was complete.

Who knew she would see lobsters for sale now? It was early June now, and lobsters were indeed fat.

In the end, she replaced the braised pork trotters with spicy lobsters.

Men would probably drink some wine together, and eating lobsters with wine was very delicious.

Lu Weiguo was a little surprised to see Shi Tingyu buy lobsters. He didn't expect that she could make this.

When I was in the village before, I liked to catch lobsters in the summer when there was nothing to eat. But they always got them outside to satisfy their hunger, and the seasoning was limited, so the taste was very ordinary.

But seeing the happy expression on his wife's face, he thought that the lobsters made by her hands must taste good.

By the time all the ingredients were bought, it was almost time for dinner.

The two went to the state-owned hotel to have lunch before going back.

In the afternoon, Lu Weiguo went back to the camp to invite people.

For a warm-up party like this, almost no one invites the superiors, because they are afraid of gossip. Even if someone invites, except for special circumstances, the general superiors will not attend.

Lu Weiguo simply skipped this step.

Hearing that Lu Weiguo was going to treat, several people who were still in training immediately became excited.

Someone treating means they can have a big meal.

Mrs. Zhang heard the noise next door and went to knock on the door.

Shi Tingyu quickly invited people in.

"Sister, Xiao Lu has just told me, I'm here to help you." Mrs. Zhang said with a smile.

Shi Tingyu quickly thanked him, "Sister-in-law, you're really a big help."

While Sister-in-law Zhang was helping to peel potatoes, Lu Weiguo came back after inviting people over.

Shi Tingyu quickly said, "Weiguo, help wash the crayfish and clams. After washing the clams, add some salt and sesame oil to let them spit out the sand."

It's better to let men wash these two shelled ingredients.

Lu Weiguo took the lobsters and clams and washed them at the well

without saying a word. Sister-in-law Zhang looked at Lu Weiguo's obedient appearance and whispered to Shi Tingyu, "I didn't expect Xiao Lu to listen to you so much. Sister, you are really good."

Shi Tingyu: ...

Can she say that he is so obedient?

No, it's too Versailles.

After praising Lu Weiguo, Zhang's wife talked about her own man again, "Our old Zhang is just dull and doesn't move at all when he's called."

Shi Tingyu saw that Zhang's wife was disdainful, but her face was somewhat gentle, and there was still happiness in her eyes, so she said, "Sister-in-law, what you said is not right. I heard from Weiguo that Captain Zhang is a family man. Whenever he eats outside, he always leaves a portion for you and the children."

Zhang's wife's heart was instantly soothed, and she said with a smile, "He has only this advantage."

Lu Weiguo listened to the conversation of the two women by the well, and couldn't help but smile.

He found that if his wife really wanted to make friends with others, there was nothing she couldn't get.

Her words always hit the spot.

But his wife was a little afraid of trouble and not very sociable.

The lobsters and clams were washed. Lu Weiguo let the clams spit out the sand according to Shi Tingyu's request, and put the crayfish in the bucket.

Seeing that Lu Weiguo had washed them, Shi Tingyu said, "Weiguo, bring the crayfish here, and help me get the scissors."

Lu Weiguo did as he was told.

Mrs. Zhang asked curiously, "This lobster has been washed, why do you need scissors?"

She had also eaten lobsters before, and they were all whole.

Shi Tingyu took the scissors that Lu Weiguo brought back, picked up a lobster, neatly cut off the head, and then pulled out the shrimp thread.

"The head of the lobster is dirty, so it needs to be cut off. The shrimp thread is also dirty, so just pull it out. It's cleaner and more hygienic to handle it this way."

Nowadays, lobsters are all wild, not as clean as those specially cultivated in later generations.

Mrs. Zhang looked like she understood.

"So this is how it has to be done."

After finishing one, when Shi Tingyu was about to handle the second one, a pair of big hands stretched out from the side and took her scissors away.

"I'll do this, you go get the mushrooms."

Lu Weiguo felt it was dangerous when he saw the two big pliers of the lobster. Although he had never handled it this way, he knew how to do it after seeing Shi Tingyu handle one. You can learn it just by watching.

With his hands empty, Shi Tingyu looked at Lu Weiguo and found that he had already cut the shrimp heads neatly. His big hands full of silk held the lobsters like a ball of cotton and processed the lobsters without much effort.

The scene of processing ingredients was not beautiful, but Shi Tingyu felt that both the picture and the composition were like being wrapped in a ball of light, very dazzling.
