Her nod immediately aroused the enthusiasm of the educated youth. The male educated youth were busy collecting the prey, and the female educated youth put down their needlework and went to the kitchen to prepare side dishes.
Xu Manman instructed her cousin to process the fish, scraping the meat from several fish, adding seasoning and starch, and mixing them.
After removing the feathers from the pheasant, steam the chicken and add onion and ginger to cook until done. When cooked through, remove the chicken and let it cool. Tear off the chicken and set aside.
Put the processed chicken bones and fish bones into the casserole with onions and ginger to make soup, and stew the rabbit meat with soybean paste, potatoes, dried beans and vermicelli.
Cut the radish into shreds, remove the moisture with salt, add starch and chopped green onion seasoning, stir and knead into balls.
The two stoves in the big kitchen and Xu Manman's own small stove were all on fire, frying, stewing and cooking.
Rabbit meat stewed in sauce, steamed fish cake, shredded chicken in red oil, fish balls in broth, fried eggs with chili peppers, Qianlong cabbage, fried radish meatballs, fried pickled radish with oil residue, spicy and sour shredded potatoes, and fried peanuts.
Each dish is served in a bowl, and each one is quite generous in size.
Liu Li was in charge of the staple food, which included corn tortillas and black flour steamed buns, and the portions were quite large.
The kitchen table simply couldn't fit in. Later, they simply carried everything to the boys' bunk bed, and put three tables together on the kang to barely fit it.
This time, all the educated youths were doing a group activity, and they didn't want to leave the new educated youths behind. So after a discussion, they called Li Min and Chen Meizhi over.
The main thing is that the male educated youth have to call Xia Tiangao and Li Dagang. That family is a hunter. I have learned a lot of skills from Xia Tiangao. Recently, I have gained more and more. Today I will take the opportunity to start a thank-you banquet.
There were less than 20 people, so there was naturally not enough room to sit on the kang. The female educated youth sat on the kang, squeezed together and occupied most of the circle. The male students who could not sit had to stand on the ground and eat with their bowls in hand.
It can be said that this was the most crowded meal Xu Manman had ever had in her life. Her arms were pressed against each other and she couldn't even move to pick up food.
But except Xu Manman, no one else cares.
Liu Li's mouth was full, but she still took the time to give Xu Manman a thumbs-up, "Xu Zhiqing, your cooking is really delicious."
Yue Feng, who was standing at the other end, also praised him crazily, "Yes, Xu Zhiqing, and your skills have reached a higher level now."
Zhang Yuan said to Chen Ming next to him, "I really envy you for having this chef who makes delicious food for you every day."
Chen Ming raised his eyebrows and smiled, "This kind of thing is not something you can envy." While eating, he did not forget to pick up some food for his cousin who was sitting far away.
At this time, the benefits of having a partner/brother can be seen. Xu Manman, Xu Meili, Liu Li, and Yang Lili all had their bowls full. They ate the dishes in front of them, and someone brought dishes from far away from time to time.
Wan Fang was speechless. Who doesn’t have a partner?
It was the first time for Chen Meizhi and Li Minquan to participate in a collective activity for the educated youth. They were also infected by the lively atmosphere. Although they did not fit in so quickly, the food was really delicious!
Li Min was also very obedient and didn't dare to make trouble at this time. The meal was delicious, but her eyes were secretly staring at Xue Mingxin.
Xue Mingxin stood the farthest away from her and Chen Meizhi, and didn't look over there the whole time. However, when Chen Ming helped Xu Manman pick up some food, his eyes followed his chopsticks.
After the girls finished eating, the boys were still talking about hunting techniques. The girls were not interested, so they cleaned up their own dishes and went back to their rooms, leaving the battlefield to the boys.
After everyone left, Zhang Yuan blinked, and Zhan Tianqi took out two bottles of Erguotou. Wow, he didn't dare to drink in front of his partner, so he waited until everyone left to have a big drink, right?
Xu Manman didn't know when they finished here. Anyway, Chen Ming didn't have breakfast the next day and showed up at lunch time looking listless.
"Cousin? Did you go catching thieves yesterday?"
"Ah? No?"
"Then why are you up so late? You look like you didn't sleep well. Didn't you miss the whole night?"
Chen Ming compared his thumb and index finger and said, "I drank a little bit of wine yesterday."
"Wine? Are you going to drink it after we leave?" I didn't see any wine on the table before I left.
Chen Ming drank the porridge in the bowl and nodded.
Xu Manman was at a loss for words. "Is it really that serious? You're hiding your drinking. It's not like I've seen you drink before."
"People who have a partner have to maintain their image."
"But you guys had a hangover the previous night, and judging from your state today, your image is gone." This is like taking off your pants and putting that thing on.
"Well, Manman, the radish you cook is delicious."
Don't we eat this radish every day? Don't be so abrupt in changing the subject, please.
Xu Manman didn't continue. Most men are very concerned about their reputation.
After sending her cousin out after cleaning up the dishes, Xu Manman locked the door and came to Beijing again through the wooden door in space.
I rode my bike past the bank and grain station on the main street, circled the street, and returned to the secluded alley.
