At lunchtime, the cafeteria was packed with people, and there were also many tables set up outside.
Jiang Yue and the other women listened to the soldiers singing. Afterwards, everyone dispersed and went into the canteen.
Everyone was delighted to see the food laid out in the cafeteria.
"The food today is really plentiful."
"All eight major cuisines are represented."
"This is the kind of food we only get during Chinese New Year."
"I heard that this year's harvest is not only bountiful for pigs, chickens, and ducks, but also for fruits."
"Look, there's a bowl of sliced watermelon on every table. We grew it ourselves."
Jiang Yue wiped the sweat from her forehead with a tissue. Although there were many large fans in the cafeteria, the temperature inside was still very high.
Lu Yu walked towards Jiang Yue.
"Honey, you've worked so hard."
Hearing Lu Yu's words, Jiang Yue smiled and said.
"It's not hard work."
Jiang Yue and Lu Yu went to the table where the captain and the others were sitting.
The battalion commander and Political Commissar Ning stood up and spoke to the soldiers through a loudspeaker.
"Comrades, today is a day of harvest. Here, we should thank ourselves for our hard work and diligence in the first half of the year..."
"All the food on this table today was produced entirely by our brigade itself. This is the first time in the several years since we started this operation that we've achieved this goal..."
Let's raise a glass to ourselves and celebrate...
"cheers."
Everyone raised their glasses, the drinks inside also provided by Jiang Yue's beverage factory.
"Everyone, have a good meal and drinks today."
Each table had a large bowl of cold noodles. Lu Yu also really liked his wife's cold noodles, and he filled a bowl and started eating.
"Honey, is this braising spice supplied by your company?"
Lu Yu could taste the flavor of the braised dishes on the table immediately.
Jiang Yue nodded.
This is a secret recipe from their Happiness Hotel. Yesterday, Lu Yu told her about the dinner party and asked her to help him make some braised dishes. He's making a dish today.
She readily agreed. She brought over some braising spices and even invited a few chefs over.
"It's delicious."
Lu Yu praised him.
The battalion commander and Political Commissar Ning, along with several other captains and leaders, toasted the soldiers, while Jiang Yue continued eating.
"Sister-in-law Lu, this braised meat tastes delicious. Is it Happiness brand braising sauce?"
"Sister-in-law Yang said with a smile."
Sister-in-law Lu had given her a few packets of braising spices before, and the braising liquid tasted just like this.
"Yes, that's the braising liquid."
"This tastes delicious."
Upon hearing this, Sister Liu snorted coldly.
"This wasn't made by Jiang Yue, so why are they praising Jiang Yue?"
The women around her, including Sister Yang, were speechless when they heard her words.
“Sister Liu, what are you saying? You only helped set the table and made a few dumplings. Sister Lu did much more than you.”
"Sister Liu, do you have a prejudice against Sister Lu? Why are you always targeting Sister Lu today?"
"Sister Lu has been busy for several hours today, making so many cold noodles and several kinds of braised dishes."
Hearing everyone speaking up for Jiang Yue, Sister Liu's face turned even uglier.
"You're all sycophants," Sister Liu said irritably.
Sister Yang and the others looked at Sister Liu with some anger.
Seeing that she had angered the crowd, Sister Liu didn't dare to say anything more.
One of the sisters-in-law saw Jiang Yue eating, seemingly ignoring what Sister Liu was saying.
"Sister-in-law Lu, aren't you angry that Sister-in-law Liu said those things about you?"
