"What do you mean? Wasn't it booked in advance?" Li Jinfeng asked.
Logically speaking, with the abilities of Guo Qingguo and Lu Mingfang, it would be difficult to handle a lot of meat, but twenty pounds or so should not be a big problem.
Moreover, Guo Qingguo's wedding date was decided several months ago.
"It had been reserved, but who knew that something happened to the pigs assigned to the production team this year, and the number of live pigs provided was much less than in previous years. They said that they could give us five kilograms at most, but five kilograms is not enough!" said Lu Mingfang.
In fact, if the Lu family is just inviting relatives, it doesn’t matter if they eat less meat.
But this time, the two families arranged the banquet together. If the dishes were not large enough, people would think that the Guo family looked down on their new daughter-in-law.
But the Guo family clearly didn’t mean that!
It would have been fine if Lu Mingfang hadn't said this, but once she did, Li Jinfeng also noticed that they had been eating more fish at the dinner table over the past few months.
Ducks and chickens, too.
The only thing I eat less is meat.
Several times when she ate meat, she took it out of the space while going out shopping.
When she brought it back, Sister E looked at her in surprise.
She thought she had brought back too much, so she told Sister E that she knew a friend who could help with the supply.
"What about Xiaoyun? I remember her uncle is the director of the General Supply and Marketing Cooperative. Have you asked her?" Li Jinfeng asked.
"I asked, and it turned out that these five kilograms were obtained with the help of her uncle, otherwise we wouldn't have been able to get them!" Lu Mingfang said.
Hearing this, Li Jinfeng reached out and patted Lu Mingfang on the shoulder. "Don't worry, little aunt! Let me help prepare the meat for Qingguo and Xiaoyun's banquet. We're still short of... 15 pounds, right?"
"Jin Feng, you..."
"Sister-in-law..."
Guo Qingguo and Lu Mingfang spoke almost at the same time.
They all looked surprised.
They asked Mr. Lu for help on this matter, but Mr. Lu also said it was not easy to handle.
It’s not right to go to an old friend mainly to order meat.
If it were anything else, such as food, money, and coupons, it would be easy to deal with.
But the problem is that the Guo family has no shortage of these.
"Don't worry, don't worry, I will complete the task! How about this, I will be ready the night before Brother Qingguo's wedding?" Li Jinfeng said.
"Okay! Jinfeng, I'll accept your favor. From now on..."
"We are a family, so why not go back? Besides, the way my aunt protected our Tuantuan with a water ladle just now was so cute! Isn't it, Tuantuan?"
Li Jinfeng lowered her head and looked at Tuantuan who was happily eating cranberry biscuits.
The little guy's bib, which he used to protect himself from saliva and grease, was covered with biscuit crumbs.
But even so, he still cooperated with Li Jinfeng and said, "Yes, Mom, yes!"
Li Jinfeng touched her son's head.
Lu Mingfang also breathed a sigh of relief.
Once the meat is ready, everything else will be easy.
Lu Mingfang was in a good mood and said directly: "I'll go to Quanjude and buy a roast duck to make a snack for everyone!"
Li Jinfeng has been in Jiangbei for so long, and the only Jiangbei specialty she has eaten is the local douzhi.
She didn't say much about the taste. Anyway, she had eaten it once and didn't want to eat it a second time.
As for the roast duck, she didn't eat much.
Firstly, she had eaten it many times in her previous life, and the taste didn't make her miss it very much. On the contrary, she preferred some light porridge and side dishes.
Secondly, Lu Jianguo didn't come back very often, and the two of them didn't spend enough time together, let alone queue up for roast duck.
