Chapter 97: The Little Tricks at the Dinner Table



The vegetables grown by the old educated youth in their private plots last longer than those grown by Yi Qingqing and her friends, and there are more to eat.

Soon, the front hall was filled with green peppers, loofahs, cucumbers, green vegetables and other vegetables commonly eaten in this season.

And Lu Xianjin even generously brought two eggs.

Not everyone really relied on Li Mengxue alone to provide food. Everyone brought their own rations, but it was obvious that no one could eat to their heart's content on a normal day, so this ration was not enough. Li Mengxue added some and it was just enough for everyone to have a full meal.

However, thinking that the old educated youth had provided extra dishes, Qian Lailai and Chen Zhihe provided firewood and seasonings, and Zheng Xiaolong and Yun Guyuan each took two eggs.

Yi Qingqing was still hesitating about what to take out. The vegetables in her garden had not yet grown, so it seemed that she had to either take meat or salted duck eggs.

The salted duck eggs had just been pickled, and she hadn't had time to eat them yet. Mainly, there were only 50 of them. Even if each person got half an egg, it would take 7. She was reluctant to give them up. Mainly, the duck eggs had to be obtained by signing in. If she didn't sign in after eating, she would have to pick them up herself, and the chances of finding one were slim.

As for the meat, although she had a lot of meat, it was a little too much. Wang Lingling, who took the lead, only took a little bacon. Besides, it was not easy to take out wild boar meat, and it would not look good to take out some of the rabbit and pheasant. So she also took two eggs like Zheng Xiaolong and Yun Guyuan. It was okay as long as she didn't stand out and didn't give people a chance to talk about her. After all, she still had to show off her cooking skills.

Some people definitely got things of high value, and some got things of low value, but everyone did their best to add something, so it doesn’t matter.

Of course, the bulk of the money was paid by Li Mengxue and Wang Lingling, who organized the dinner.

The meals were cooked in the front hall, with Zhao Fang, Zhou Qiang, Tang Lan and Cao Zhendong all contributing their pots and stoves.

The others were responsible for making the mixed flour steamed buns, Yi Qingqing was in charge of cooking, and Yun Guyuan helped her.

She had taught him how to cook in the past, and the two had worked together many times. Today they were going to make home-cooked dishes, which Yun Guyuan had already learned from her.

Comrade Yun’s cooking method is a copy and paste version of what Yi Qingqing taught him. It is very methodical and as meticulous as doing an experiment, and he strictly follows Yi Qingqing’s steps.

So when Yi Qingqing raised her hand, Yun Guyuan knew what she was going to do next and handed the thing to her.

Yi Qingqing was quite used to it, but others were not.

"Comrade Li Mengxue, is Comrade Yi Qingqing talking about friendship with Comrade Yun Guyuan?" Lu Xianjin asked Li Mengxue.

He sat opposite Li Mengxue, with Zheng Xiaolong on Li Mengxue's left and Qian Lailai on her right.

Although Li Mengxue knew that the two of them were interested in each other, she had not yet confirmed their relationship, and it was not easy to tell outsiders. Although she wanted to build a relationship and get to know them, she did not open her heart to them right away, so she said, "No, the six of us, Qingqing, Lailai, Xiaolong, Chen Zhihe, and Yun Guyuan, sat together when we went to the countryside, and were assigned to the same place, so we are more familiar with each other."

As the dish was put into the pot, the aroma gradually spread out. It was obviously just an ordinary home-cooked dish without much oil or water, but it smelled delicious.

"Now I believe what you said about Comrade Yi Qingqing's craftsmanship!" Xie Shiyan swallowed.

The old educated youth who had never tasted Yi Qingqing's cooking nodded in unison.

Tang Lan and Zhou Yanhong couldn't help but come to the stove and asked, "Do you mind if we learn from you?"

Yi Qingqing nodded jokingly, "Do you mind if you don't watch it?"

"Of course we have to watch it," Zhou Yanhong said without thinking, and then she laughed.

Tang Lan secretly laughed in her heart. Yi Qingqing was quite interesting once you got to know her. She always liked to say sarcasm to tease people, but it had to be said that such a joke brought them much closer.

She looked at the tacit coordination between Yi Qingqing and Yun Guyuan. It would be strange if there was nothing fishy going on between them.

I never expected that the newly arrived educated youth would form pairs.

I have to say that the quality of this batch of new educated youth is much better, especially the male ones.

As for the old educated youth, although they all look like decent people, they all have problems, big or small.

Let's not talk about the one who has already been to jail. As for the remaining four, Cao Zhendong is a soft-hearted person who doesn't know what's right, Xie Shiyan is like a girl who cares about beauty and image, Lu Xianjin is ambitious but not very righteous, and even Zhou Qiang, who looks honest and upright, is actually a male chauvinist. When they are together, he is the only one who helps to light the fire. Zhao Fang is responsible for cooking, serving dishes, collecting dishes, washing dishes, and even wiping the table. Anyway, she can't stand it.

Tang Lan is the best at judging men. These new male educated youth all know how to care for others. Although Zheng Xiaolong is immature, he has a pure heart. His heart is always with Li Mengxue. Although Chen Zhihe is not the most good-looking among the three new male educated youth, he is a down-to-earth man. Yun Guyuan is not only good-looking, but also knows how to take care of others, and is smart and considerate.

Unfortunately, they all have someone they love.

Zhou Yanhong always says that she keeps men hanging around, but she only hangs around the ones she doesn't like. Saying a few nice words and giving a few smiling faces can save her energy. If there were really someone she likes, she would have already swiped them to her name long ago.

Life in the countryside is so hard for a girl. As she gets older, she can't go back to the city and has to consider the issue of starting a family. She looks down on the men in the village because their living habits are different and it's hard to live with them. It's really too hard, Tang Lan sighed.

When the food was served, the educated youth were a little more reserved than the villagers and did not rush to eat the meat, so the meal was quite harmonious.

At this time, Lu Xianjin brought up the topic again, "Thank you comrade Wang Lingling for the meat, comrade Li Mengxue for the food, and comrade Yi Qingqing for the good cooking skills! I will use tea instead of wine. Thank you for your hospitality."

"Just for fun, we can help each other in the future!"

You can tell that Wang Lingling is really happy.

Li Mengxue also said: "The two major cancers in our educated youth camp have been cleared out, and we can finally have peace from now on."

Yi Qingqing didn't say anything. Peace? It's still too early!

The guy in front of you is the highest-level gentleman villain. Look, until now, the heroine hasn’t noticed anything unusual!

Lu Xianjin was talking too much at the moment, and he always liked to bring up Li Mengxue, Wang Lingling and her. What was he trying to do? I'm afraid he was still selecting his targets!

Even though everyone now knew that he was close to the village chief's daughter Gao Xiaoxiang, Gao Xiaoxiang also thought that she was in love with him. The village chief's wife had been very satisfied with him before, and it was obvious that she had put a lot of effort into him.

But he himself had never actually admitted his relationship with Gao Xiaoxiang in front of other people, and he was being very cautious at this moment.

The man below! After dinner, I went to have a meeting with Li Mengxue and the others!
