The main reason she came to help prepare the New Year's Eve dinner was to make a good impression on the aunties, sisters-in-law, and unmarried soldiers in the army, so that she could be recognized as an outstanding young person in the army.
She originally thought that a company commander would be enough, but when she saw Regiment Commander Lu, she realized that there were officers in the army who were so young and handsome that they became regimental commanders.
But he's already married, so even if she has other ideas, there's nothing she can do.
Moreover, she knew her own situation; she was only considered pretty, far less attractive than Yu Yao.
She just couldn't stand that Yu Yao, who had married such a good man, didn't know how to cherish him and actually used her connections with Commander Lu to get the job in charge of the New Year's Eve dinner.
As for what Sister Dan said about Yu Yao being appointed to a critical mission, she didn't believe it.
With so many benefits, and so many aunties and sisters-in-law with great cooking skills to help, even the quartermaster was brought in by Sister Dan, how could things not go well?
Yu Yao is just here to gain fame and incidentally get some benefits.
Therefore, the better Commander Lu treated Yu Yao, the more Zheng Mei felt sorry for him.
Yu Yao rattled off thirty or forty dishes in one go. For some of the less common dishes, she would briefly explain the steps to prove that the recipes were not just made up on her own.

The quartermaster and the other women listened very attentively.
Only Zheng Mei's expression grew increasingly grim as she listened, her eyes filled with disbelief as she looked at Yu Yao.
Yu Yao had already mentioned several dishes she had never heard of before, and she was still listing more.
When she got to the seventieth question, Yu Yao finally stopped.
Zheng Mei secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
She said, "How could Yu Yao possibly know so many recipes? There are only seventy, and she's already done it."
Su Meihua and the others thought she wouldn't be able to come up with any more, so they comforted her, saying, "Yu Yao, it's already quite remarkable that you can name seventy dishes. After all, we've never even heard of a hundred different recipes."
"That's right, seventy recipes are enough to prove your ability, and we all support you to be the person in charge."
“How can this be?” Zheng Mei blurted out. Seeing everyone frowning, she quickly explained with a smile, “I admit that Comrade Yu Yao is very impressive for being able to name so many dishes, but a bet is a bet. It was Comrade Yu Yao who proposed it, and we can’t let Comrade Yu Yao be a person who breaks her word.”
