On the little girl's first day of school, Chen Wang bought a lot of vegetables from the farmers' market and brought them back.
In the evening, he cooked himself and made several novel and delicious dishes that almost all the children liked.
The first dish is cola chicken wings. Coke is already circulated in the country these days, but it is relatively expensive and most people rarely spend money to buy it.
Then there was a tomato stewed beef brisket, a steamed sea bass, and a seaweed egg drop soup.
There are fish, meat and of course vegetarian dishes are indispensable. I made a dish of stir-fried zucchini from my own vegetable garden.
Ice-cold soda and watermelon were also provided for the little girl.
The family had their meal at the open-air stone table in the yard. It was very comfortable to eat outside in the evening at this time of year.
A few dishes that may be very ordinary decades later are now more sumptuous than what most families eat during the Chinese New Year.
If the villagers saw this, they would surely be envious.
Fortunately, the courtyard is now surrounded by high walls, and villagers will not come in unless necessary. How their family lives is their own business, and no one else can interfere.
"Brother, this chicken wing looks weird!"
The little girl stared at the plate of cola chicken wings like a curious baby.
Lin Xiuqin and Wang Chunmei also looked curious.
It was also the first time for them to see someone cook this dish. When cooking just now, there was some leftover Coke, and they all tasted it. It tasted sweet and strange.
Can chicken wings made with that soda-like stuff be delicious?
"Why are you just looking at it? Try it!"
Chen Wang smiled, put a piece of chicken wing into each of the three people's bowls, and said to Lin Xiuqin: "Wife, don't eat too much of this. Eat more fish. The meat of this sea bass is very tender."
Lin Xiuqin nodded with a smile.
He sold this fish at a fishmonger's stall in the farmer's market. It was much more expensive than crucian carp and carp, at two yuan and eighty yuan per pound.
It is certainly much cheaper than it was decades ago, and the key is that it is wild.
After the three of them tasted the cola chicken wings, the unique taste made their eyes slightly widen and a look of surprise appeared on their faces.
"Wow, bro, these chicken wings are delicious!"
The little girl praised in surprise.
"As long as it tastes good, this dish is specially made for you to celebrate your first day of school."
Chen Wang picked up another large piece of fish and put it into his wife's bowl.
He doesn't really like sweet food.
"Thank you brother, you are the best."
The little girl happily flattered him.
"It's really delicious, Awang, where did you learn to make this dish?"
The mother-in-law asked with some surprise.
"I heard from others that it was pretty easy for me to do it for the first time."
Chen Wang just made up something.
The mother-in-law nodded and said, "It seems that what you did just now is indeed quite simple, but this Coke is not easy to make!"
"How was your first day at school? Was there anything you didn't understand that the teacher taught?"
Chen Wang ate a piece of beef, looked at the little girl and asked.
"That's great. The teacher didn't teach us anything today. He just asked us to introduce ourselves and choose class leaders!"
"Then are you a class leader?"
"Yes, yes, I'm the team leader!"
The little girl answered quite proudly.
"How many people are there in your class? Don't all of them have the title of class leader?"
Chen Wang asked again with amusement.
The little girl was stunned when she heard this, and said a little embarrassedly: "It seems to be true!"
Hearing this, Chen Wang and the other two couldn't help but laugh.
“Xiaoyu!!”
Suddenly, a girl's voice was heard outside.
"It's Erniu!"
The little girl looked happy, put down her bowl and chopsticks, stood up and ran over.
Erniu was standing outside the gate, holding a vegetable basket with a few red persimmons in it.
"Xiaoyu, these are the persimmons we grew at home. My dad asked me to bring them to you."
"Brother, Erniu brought us persimmons."
Xiaoyu turned around and shouted with a smile.
"Let her in!"
Chen Wang said hurriedly.
"Oh, Erniu, come in quickly."
"I...I won't go in. I have to go back to eat. You take the persimmon!"
The magnificent courtyard in front of her made her feel inferior and she didn't dare to go in casually.
"Hey, come in soon and eat with us. Let me tell you, my brother made me cola chicken wings today. They are delicious. You must try them."
The little girl grabbed her wrist and led her inside while talking.
Erniu was lost in thought, wondering what cola chicken wings would taste like.
She seldom eats chicken wings, and she has only heard a rich kid in her class mention Coke, saying it is sweet and has bubbles, and tastes better than soda.
Being dragged by the little girl to the stone table, Erniu's attention was immediately attracted by the dishes on the table, and she even forgot to say hello.
She had never seen such a sumptuous meal, and it smelled so delicious.
"Xiaoyu, go get some bowls and chopsticks for Erniu."
Chen Wang instructed the little girl.
"Okay, I'll go right away."
The little girl nodded happily and ran to the kitchen.
"Ah, no, no, Brother Awang, I don't want to eat. I have cooked at home. I will go back and eat."
Erniu reacted and waved her hands in panic to refuse.
"Be obedient and sit down."
Chen Wang pointed to the stone chair where the little girl had just sat.
Erniu had a conflicted expression and didn't know what to do for a moment.
Lin Xiuqin put down her bowl and chopsticks, stood up with a gentle smile, walked behind her, and pushed her to sit down.
"Thank you, brother Awang, thank you, sister."
