Nan Yi attaches great importance to hosting tonight's dinner.
A few minutes later, six dishes and a soup were already on the table.
"Winter is here, and it's so hard to get things done. It's a bit crude, so please forgive me!"
After all the dishes were served on the table and the guests and hosts were seated, Nan Yi said with a smile.
"Nan Yi, this is already very generous. You are too modest."
Yan Jiecheng was very satisfied that Nan Yi invited him over today. Now, when he heard Nan Yi say this again, he immediately responded and gave Nan Yi enough face.
"That's right, Jie Cheng is right, Nan Yi, you are indeed too modest. It's so hard to get something these days. I can't bring back anything good even if I go to the countryside now. But I have something to ask you."
Xu Damao, who was speaking, looked at a dish on the table, his eyes shining. "Where did you get this pork? Do you have any left? I want to buy some too."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone else's eyes turned to Nan Yi.
Pork...
After October, the autumn harvest was poor again. There was less food to feed people, let alone feed the pigs.
Therefore, in the market, it is rare to see supply and marketing cooperatives selling pork once a month.
Now that I finally see pork, of course I have to find out where it was bought. If I am in a hurry, I will buy some right away!
Even Jia Dongsheng is very concerned about this issue.
Although in his space, not to mention pork, there is even plenty of tiger meat.
But, as I said before, as the famine gets worse, the more difficult it becomes, and people need to be more low-key.
No matter what is taken out of the space, there must be a source and a legitimate reason.
Otherwise, things of unknown origin will definitely arouse envy, jealousy and hatred.
But just like the chickens, ducks and geese sent by his cheap father-in-law, what can he do even if others are envious, jealous and resentful?
If you have the ability, you should find a father-in-law who can help you. If not, just shut up.
But, this has a source. If there is no source, once the news gets out, there will definitely be someone who will backstab you. This is unavoidable.
Although Jia Dongsheng is not afraid, it is still troublesome.
If he could find a source of pork, he could bring back more meat at one time. After all, in winter, even if it was freezing outside, the meat would not go bad.
The calculation was very good, but unfortunately, Nan Yi shook his head with a wry smile: "My pork was researched for me by my uncle, so forget it, there is no place to sell it."
"It was just a pig, and the meat was divided up right after it was slaughtered. I only had this little, as you saw. I used it to stir-fry a plate of bean sprouts. I didn't have any more."
No one doubted this statement at all.
If there really was a place selling it, Nan Yi wouldn't have hidden it, so everyone could only shake their heads in disappointment. It was too difficult to get some pork.
"Alright, we can still eat without pork. The other dishes Nan Yi made are also very delicious. Come and try them. They won't taste good if they get cold."
Feeling that the atmosphere was a little tense, Jia Dongsheng called out to everyone and asked them to pick up their chopsticks.
When this was said, everyone thought the same thing. Since they couldn't buy it, why not take advantage of the meat right in front of them and have a bite?
Apart from anything else, big goose is also very fragrant, isn’t it?
Nan Yi prepared a total of six dishes, the only major meat dish being goose stewed with potatoes.
Note that this big goose was also obtained for him by his uncle, not by him asking Jia Dongsheng for trouble again.
As for the other five dishes, there was fried pork with bean sprouts, followed by braised tofu, dried tofu with chili peppers, pickled cabbage strips, sauerkraut noodles, and fried black fungus with scallions.
The last soup is even simpler, Pearl Jade White Jade Soup. If you don’t understand, just look it up yourself.
Nan Yi used all his skills to prepare six dishes and one soup, making the meal look, smell and taste delicious.
After Sha Zhu tasted every dish, his face turned a little darker. It was not because the food was not delicious, but because it was too delicious.
Better than anything he could do himself.
"Nan Yi, sure. The food you cook is so delicious. I feel it's only slightly worse than Dong Sheng's, but much better than Sha Zhu's."
Xu Damao was the first to speak in praise, and habitually belittled Sha Zhu.
What surprised him was that Sha Zhu did not refute, but lowered his head, thinking about something, with a rather unhappy look on his face.
"Hey, what are you thinking, Silly Zhu? Why don't you refute it?"
Xu Damao was very surprised: "It's true that men grow up after getting married. Oh, I am so relieved!"
In fact, he belittled Sha Zhu out of habit. If you asked him to point out the difference between Sha Zhu and Nan Yi's cooking skills, not to mention being able to do it, he wouldn't even be able to tell the difference even if you asked him to taste it.
Xu Damao is just trying to belittle for the sake of being belittled.
But Sha Zhu could taste that Nan Yi's cooking skills were indeed better than his.
You know, a few months ago, his skills were even better than Nan Yi's. It's only been a short time, how could he not be depressed?
He was so depressed that he had no mind to refute Xu Damao. He just wanted to know why Nan Yi's cooking skills improved so quickly, and how he could improve his own cooking skills quickly as well.
Sha Zhu himself is not a very ambitious person.
From the way he is satisfied with his monthly salary of 37.5 yuan and talks about it every day, we can conclude that he is not very ambitious.
However, his cooking skills were the only thing he was proud of, and he would never allow himself to be inferior to others.
Ever since Jia Dongsheng came back, Sha Zhu knew that Jia Dongsheng's cooking skills were better than his, so he has been working hard to improve himself these days.
However, due to limited ingredients, he moved out of Canteen No. 1 and rarely cooked for guests, so his cooking skills naturally improved slowly.
This made him understand a little bit. Nan Yi was in Canteen No. 1 every day and cooked many dishes for guests. With a little practice, his cooking skills would definitely be improved.
Correspondingly, if he improves slowly, he will definitely be surpassed.
"I shouldn't be going to Canteen No. 8. I should be trying to get back to Canteen No. 1. But how can I get back? The chef position is full."
Sha Zhu had a headache. He thought that his father would become the head chef of Canteen No. 1 next year, and this position would be even more full.
"what to do?"
The others drank enthusiastically, and Yan Jiecheng even did as he said and toasted Jia Dongsheng three times. However, Sha Zhu became the most frustrated person tonight.
He passed out after just a few drinks, which surprised everyone.
However, Sha Zhu's drunkenness did not affect the mood of others. They drank and chatted. After the meal, except for the women, Nan Yi, Yan Jiecheng, Xu Damao, and Sha Zhu all passed out drunk on the table.
Jia Dongsheng was the only sober person left.
Looking at the drunks at the table, he couldn't help but feel that he was the only one sober among all the drunks.
