Chapter 17: Where to find the chef?
When Huo Beichuan was not at home, Chen Jintao's life became particularly simple. She slept until she woke up naturally every day, helped cook and feed the chickens at noon, and her life was pretty comfortable.
I don’t understand why Chen Chunmiao always looks gloating every time he sees her.
The wedding date of Chen Chunmiao and Lu Qingshan is coming soon.
I don’t know what the Shen family’s second branch was thinking, but they probably wanted Shen Chunmiao’s wedding to overshadow Shen Jintao’s, so they held it in a grand manner.
You have to know that Lu Qingshan's home is not here, and his parents did not come here either. The wedding was handled by the second wife themselves. Although it was done well, many people talked about Shen Chunmiao's self-sacrifice behind her back.
What made Chen Jintao speechless was that Chen Chunmiao came to invite her specially and asked her to attend his wedding.
Chen Jintao thought about it and finally went, and gave a fifty-cent gift.
Unexpectedly, although so many people were invited to the wedding of Chen Chunmiao and Lu Qingshan, there was almost no greasy food.
There were only six dishes on each table, and the only meat dish was eggs.
Lu Qingshan was also unable to borrow a bicycle. In fact, he had originally planned to ask Chen Jintao to lend him a bicycle. After all, Chen Jintao's bicycle was new and it would be very impressive to ride it out.
But Lu Qingshan didn't dare to have much contact with Shen Jintao now, for fear that she would reveal some "truth" again. At least before he got the quota to return to the city, he must not let Shen Chunmiao know.
For some reason, no one was willing to lend them a bicycle for their wedding. Lu Qingshan could only explain to the second wife that he was in the brigade and there was no need to make things so complicated.
No matter how unhappy Xie Lanzhi and Shen Jianguo were, the marriage had been decided. Even if Lu Qingshan couldn't produce a bicycle, there was nothing they could do.
Obviously everyone could see that the wedding was not so decent. You know, when Shen Chunmiao's family went to entertain the guests, they were not low-key at all. This reminded everyone of Shen Jintao's wedding. The breakfast arranged by Shen Jianmin's family in the morning and the meal arranged by the Huo family at noon made them enjoy their meals very much.
So everyone thought that Chen Chunmiao’s wedding should not be worse than Chen Jintao’s.
In fact, Wang Lanxiu really wanted to pay for the meal out of her own pocket at first, but was stopped by Mr. Shen. Otherwise, the meal would not have been so bad.
Everyone was dissatisfied, but Chen Chunmiao was very proud.
She also wore a new shirt today, which was army green, and the pants were the more common black straight pants. This outfit was considered good.
Naturally, after Chen Chunmiao married Lu Qingshan, she could not continue to live in the old Shen's house. Lu Qingshan rented an empty house at the educated youth center, so Lu Qingshan wanted to take her to the educated youth center for a walk.
But I have to come back here later, after all, the banquet is held at Old Shen's house.
Before leaving, Shen Chunmiao came to Shen Jintao with a smug look on his face, "Do you feel particularly uncomfortable seeing me marry Brother Qingshan? But you just don't have this blessing."
"It's really frustrating to hear you keep asking me such meaningless questions. Today is your wedding day after all, and I don't want to say anything unpleasant." Chen Jintao didn't want to pay attention to her.
"You keep talking tough. Sooner or later you will regret it and see me live a good life. Don't think that Brother Qingshan's life will be like this. You will never know that the world will change dramatically in the future. Although Brother Qingshan is only an educated youth now, he will stand at a height that you can never imagine in the future."
After Chen Chunmiao finished speaking, he followed Lu Qingshan out proudly.
She didn't lower her voice deliberately, and many people heard it. At this moment, they looked at the second branch of the Shen family with a bit strange eyes.
Xie Lanzhi was also very angry. The silly girl could not keep her cool at all. If she hadn't repeatedly assured her that Lu Qingshan's family was not ordinary and that he could help his two sons in the future, she would not agree to anything she said.
It’s too late to say anything now. I just hope this damn girl didn’t lie to me.
The lunch meal was just like that, and Chen Jintao didn't want to compete with others. She watched the excitement with the Huo family and then went home.
I don't know why, but when she saw Chen Chunmiao and Lu Qingshan getting married, Chen Jintao felt calm and wanted to applaud. Those two were both top-notch people, and it would be lively when the top-notch people got together.
Because she was in a good mood, Chen Jintao cooked a few dishes herself. It is no exaggeration to say that these simple dishes were more grand than Chen Chunmiao's wedding.
What's more, she also cut some venison to cook today.
The venison is already cured, so there is no problem hanging it in a cellar with a large space and a low temperature.
The family enjoyed the meal with relish, and Huo Nanxi couldn't help but gloat over the misfortune.
"I thought Lu Qingshan was so great, but he is just like this? I think Chen Chunmiao is really giving it his all, tsk tsk tsk tsk ..."
"I can't even shut your mouth while eating!" Liu Guifen glared at him fiercely.
After Chen Chunmiao's wedding, she also moved to the educated youth center.
Chen Jintao hadn't received any letter from Huo Beichuan and was worried about him, so she bought a lot of meat and vegetables and made some food at home that could be preserved for a long time.
For example, dried meat, vegetable sauce and meat sauce, the fact that Chen Jintao was able to open a hotel after the reform and opening up is enough to show that she has good cooking skills. After all, it was all done step by step.
Liu Guifen was very pleased to see that her daughter-in-law cared so much about her son.
After preparing a large package, Shen Jintao went out on her bicycle.
She went straight to the post office to mail her things, then started pushing her bicycle around. After all, she didn't go out often, so she wanted to take a walk.
"What should we do now? Chef Zhuang is sick, and another chef just resigned. It's almost time for dinner, and there's an important person coming to dinner tonight. Where can we find a skilled chef?"
When passing by the gate of the state-owned hotel, Chen Jintao heard the anxious voices of the staff inside. Looking in the direction of the sound, she saw several staff members running around in a panic.
"If all else fails, shall we go and ask Master Wang to come back?"
"It would be great if we could invite him back, but Master Wang is old and is at retirement age. After he quit, he followed his son to the city. It's too late for us to go to the city now."
"It's over. None of us can cook!"
"Hasn't Xiaoya been learning from Master Zhuang? Why don't you give it a try?"
Luo Ya, who was named, had indeed been studying, but she was very clear about her own abilities. She immediately looked embarrassed and said, "I... I might not be able to do it. It would be fine if it was a normal day, but isn't there an important person coming? I'm afraid I'll mess it up!"
