Ignoring him, Ding Qiunan turned around and sat down in her chair to continue her unfinished work.
Li Chu sat quietly to the side, not disturbing her.
He came here not necessarily to say anything to his wife, but simply to spend time with her.
Whenever he was in a bad mood, as long as he could see Ding Qiunan, even if they didn't talk, just sitting next to each other would make him feel better in no time.
And so, one of them was busy with his work while the other sat beside him in a daze, until the lunch break bell woke them both up.
On the way to the small canteen, Xiaotian caught up from behind.
"Vice President Li, the TV has been bought and is in the car. It's a Beijing brand, 14 inches, and cost 480 yuan. Here's the remaining money and some industrial coupons."
"Okay, put it in the car first." Li Chu took the money: "Take these industrial vouchers and go eat quickly."
After finishing his meal and returning to his office, he lay down on the small bed fully clothed, ready to rest for a while.
Now that Ding Qiunan has her own office where she can take a lunch break, she no longer needs to come to his place.
Unable to fall asleep in bed, he simply took out the skill book on making medicinal cuisine from the warehouse and decided to learn it while he was at it. Anyway, even if he fell asleep, he could wake up if someone called him or if there was a phone call, so it wouldn't delay anything.
When he woke up again, it was almost five in the afternoon. His head was still a little dizzy, but he was used to the reaction after using the skill book.
After recalling what I had just learned, I realized that I had indeed mastered many methods for making medicinal cuisine.
Well, these dishes are mainly steamed, stewed, and braised, unlike the usual stir-frying, deep-frying, and pan-frying methods.
It is actually a dish made by combining medicinal herbs with food ingredients.
The added medicinal materials are all based on strict formulas, not added randomly, just like a traditional Chinese medicine prescription.
These medicinal dishes must be prepared strictly according to the recipe, combining Chinese herbs with certain foods that have medicinal value, and using unique cooking techniques and scientific methods to create delicious food.
Li Chu thought to himself, "Hey, I can give it a try when I get back this afternoon."
I called everyone over to try it, and the more I thought about it, the better it seemed.
They opened the warehouse again and took out a few pig trotters and a few pounds of spare ribs.
Recalling the medicinal recipes in her mind, she went to the kitchen staff and bought a piece of tofu; she still had other dishes at home.
After returning to the office, I called Uncle Wang's office and home, inviting the two elders over for dinner that evening.
After getting off work and picking up my wife...
"I'll cook for you when we get back. I've learned a few new dishes, so you can try them. Uncle Wang and Aunt Wang will also be coming over."
"What kind of cuisine did you learn?" Ding Qiunan asked her husband with great interest.
Although he often cooks at home, she has never seen her husband take the initiative to learn any cooking methods.
"You'll see when it's done. You've definitely never had this before, it's absolutely delicious," Li Chu said with a hint of pride.
Ding Qiunan rolled her eyes at her smug husband.
He's a leader, not too big, not too small, yet he still acts like a child, keeping everyone in suspense.
As soon as the car reached the entrance of the alley, Li Chu saw several children standing outside the gate, constantly looking back the way they had come.
Upon seeing the car approaching, the three of them ran over shouting.
It seems that Wang Jiayuan has already told them about buying a TV for the family.
As soon as the car stopped, Wenxuan and Wenhui didn't even need Xiaotian's help; they lifted the box containing the TV off the bus together, and the children were already quite impatient.
Upon entering the intermediate courtyard, Li Chu was astonished to find that tables and benches had been set up and power strips had been installed.
"Dad, hurry up!"
Seeing him slowly walking in, Wenhui urged him anxiously.
Wang Yueyue simply ran over and pulled him away.
"Dad Chu, hurry up!"
Wenxuan had already opened all the cardboard boxes, but instead of taking the TV out, he stood to the side looking into the boxes, scratching his head anxiously.
Ding Qiunan was amused by the children's appearance and couldn't help but laugh.
Li Chu, in particular, was being pulled along by Yueyue, but the more she pulled, the slower he became.
Wenhui also ran over to help push him from behind.
"Alright, Li Chu, stop teasing the kids. Hurry up and get to work. We still need to cook. Uncle Wang and the others will be here soon."
Yes, it was only after his wife reminded him that he remembered this matter. He stopped arguing with the children, hurriedly handed the pig's trotters and ribs he was carrying to his wife, and then went over to take the TV out of the box.
To be honest, this TV is really ugly and small, with two big knobs on the side. Li Chu just couldn't stand it.
Li Qin and Wang Ziwen from next door also came over when they heard about it.
"Brother-in-law, you've come at the perfect time. Could you set up the TV for them so I can go and cook? Uncle Wang and Aunt Wang will be coming for dinner soon, so you can eat here too."
Wang Ziwen walked over, picked up the instruction manual and flipped through it, saying, "No need, your sister has already started steaming the buns."
"That's perfect," she said, raising her voice. "Sis, bring the steamed buns over when they're done. I've learned two new dishes, and I'll show them off to you today."
"Okay, then you'll have to make more, there are a lot of people eating here."
"Don't worry, there's definitely enough to eat. Sis, you and Qiu Nan wash the pig's trotters and ribs."
After saying that, he ran to the east wing of the front yard, where the medicine cabinet was located.
Prepare the necessary medicinal materials according to the recipe in your memory.
Once in the kitchen, I got right to work.
In the courtyard, Wang Ziwen had already turned on the TV, raised the two antennas on it, and kept rotating them to search for a signal.
At the beginning of this year, the original Beijing TV station was transformed into the national TV station.
Since we were in the city, the signal was quite strong, and the image appeared on the TV in no time.
Ding Qiunan, who was originally in the kitchen trying to help her husband, couldn't resist the urge to watch TV when she heard it coming from the yard.
"Alright, go out and take a look!" Li Chu said with a smile, looking at his wife who kept glancing outside.
Ding Qiunan smiled a little shyly, and seeing that no one outside was paying attention, she moved closer to him and gave him a quick kiss on the cheek.
"Thank you, dear. I'll come help you later." With that, she excitedly ran out.
Li Chu had absolutely no interest in that TV; it only had one or two channels, and there weren't any good programs.
It was his first time doing it, so he followed the steps from memory meticulously, taking it one step at a time.
More and more people came into the courtyard. Uncle Wang and Aunt Wang came over, and unexpectedly, Wang Jun and Li Qiaoyun also came over. They came to see their daughter who had forgotten about her own home.
