"Do you have any shame? You are over 30 years old and you still have the nerve to go to other people's homes for free meals." Aunt Yang doesn't want to acknowledge this son anymore. He is so shameless as a wall.
"What's wrong with being over 30? Can't I go to my neighbor's house for a meal?" Captain Hu didn't want to hear his mother say that. He just wanted to go to his colleague's house for a meal, and he didn't do anything unforgivable.
In the past, he really didn't dare to go to Lu Fengnian's house for dinner, after all, he was his subordinate. Now it's different, they are now at the same level, and there are no more taboos when eating in the past.
"Whatever you want, if you're not afraid of losing face, then go ahead." Since the whole family was going to eat together, it would be a good idea to cook just one dish. Aunt Yang took out a piece of bacon from the cellar and made a dish of fried bacon with garlic moss.
Bring the steamed buns from home with you when the time comes. There are a lot of big eaters in their family, so don’t eat up all the food at other people’s homes.
When Lu Fengnian and his friends returned to the family compound, smoke had already started to come out of the kitchen of the Hu family next door.
"Sister Lu, you're back. Did you have fun today?" When Aunt Yang heard the door open, she left the housework to her son and went next door to find Lu's mother.
"Sister Yang, didn't I ask your family to come over for dinner? Why are you cooking?"
"I cooked two dishes today, so you can cook two fewer dishes later. I also steamed buns at home, so you can cook less rice." Aunt Yang knew that Liu Shuning's family would definitely cook rice today, and she didn't want to take advantage of them, so she prepared the steamed buns in advance.
"Aunt Yang, you are so polite. I invited you to come for dinner, but you brought your own food. Mom, just give me the food. Today is the birthday girl. You can just sit in the main room with Aunt Yang and chat." Liu Shuning took over the work from Lu's mother and asked her to go in and chat with Aunt Yang.
The chef tonight is Lu Fengnian, and Liu Shuning is helping him.
Supplies are in short supply now, and it's not a good idea to be extravagant during the holiday, so they plan to cook less meat dishes.
There were still some pheasants that were shot yesterday, plus some bacon and eggs at home, so Lu Fengnian prepared six dishes, three meat and three vegetable.
Spicy chicken, fried bacon with bamboo shoots, scrambled eggs with leeks, stir-fried potatoes, hot and sour cabbage, and cold shredded carrots.
Together with the braised chicken with potatoes and fried garlic shoots with bacon brought by Captain Hu, the table was full of dishes.
Liu Shuning also moved out two jars of wine from the cellar, one jar of green plum wine and one jar of rice wine.
"Mom, today is your birthday. I wish you a happy birthday and a long life with blessings as vast as the East Sea."
"Mom, I also wish you a happy birthday, and hope you will always be happy and have no worries about food and drink.
Lu Fengnian and Liu Shuning raised their glasses together and toasted to Lu's mother, wishing her a happy birthday.
"Thank you, Shuning. This is my first birthday!" Mother Lu was very touched by Liu Shuning's kindness to her. She really treated her like her own mother and always thought of her.
"Sister Lu, I wish you a happy birthday too. I haven't had a drink with you yet, so let's drink this cup." Aunt Yang drank the rice wine in the cup in one gulp. The rice wine was really delicious.
She had never drunk it before, no wonder her silly son was thinking about the Lu family's wine every day.
"Sister Yang has a good alcohol tolerance. The rice wine in our family is brewed by Shu Ning herself. If you like it, just drink more." Mother Lu also drank the green plum wine in the glass in one gulp. She could not drink as much as Aunt Yang and did not dare to drink rice wine.
"Aunt Lu, I wish you a happy birthday too. I am being shameless today by coming here uninvited." Captain Hu also pulled up his three sons and asked them to have a drink with Mother Lu.
"Grandma Lu, happy birthday." The three brothers of the Hu family raised the tea in front of them and toasted Mother Lu with tea instead of wine.
"Happy Birthday, grandma."
"Grandma, 㳓, happy."
"Grandma, it's fun."
After everyone had toasted, it was the turn of the three youngest children in the family.
Everyone was very satisfied with the meal tonight, even Mother Lu ate half an extra bowl of rice.
