Chapter 209 Good Food and Good Wine



"Dongsheng, are you ready for the food?"

Seeing that his words had such great power, Sha Zhu turned to look at Jia Dongsheng.

"Serve the food."

The two tables were almost full. Jia Dongsheng nodded and agreed to serve the food. Everyone was sitting upright, and it would be inappropriate not to serve the food.

"Xu Damao, come with me."

After getting Jia Dongsheng's nod, Sha Zhu walked into the house, but just after taking a step, he turned his head and looked at Xu Damao.

"I?"

Pointing at himself, Xu Damao asked doubtfully, "Cooking is your job as the chef, why are you calling me?"

"Of course I'm here to help serve the dishes. What else can I ask you to do?"

"I serve the food?"

Xu Damao almost jumped up: "Why should I serve the dishes? This is your job as the cook."

"If you don't help Dongsheng when he gets married, then do you not need Dongsheng's help when you get married?"

As soon as Sha Zhu said this, Xu Damao lost his temper instantly. He was planning to let Jia Dongsheng be the chef when he got married.

"Okay, Shazhu, you can do it."

Xu Damao turned to Lou Xiao'e and said, "Xiao'e, please sit down first. I'll go see if Sha Zhuzi's cooking is up to par. If it's not good, I'll tell him what I'll say to him."

"Well, go ahead."

Lou Xiao'e covered her mouth and smiled. She could see that Sha Zhu and Xu Damao were a pair of enemies, and nothing good happened when they got together.

"Dongsheng, Xiao'e is handed over to you. You have to make arrangements for her." Xu Damao said to Jia Dongsheng.

"Just leave it to me and rest assured."

After watching Xu Damao leave behind Sha Zhu, Jia Dongsheng looked at Lou Xiaoe and said with a smile, "Let's go and sit at that table."

"good."

Lou Xiao'e smiled and nodded.

Coming to Qin Huairu's side, Jia Dongsheng said, "Sister-in-law, Lou Xiao'e is Damao's girlfriend, please help entertain her."

"knew."

Qin Huairu nodded, looked at Lou Xiao'e and smiled, "Xiao'e, come and sit down, let's chat for a while."

"Um."

Lou Xiao'e also knew Qin Huairu, so she didn't resist. In addition, Qin Huairu's smile was very friendly, which made it easy for people to like her.

Afterwards, Jia Dongsheng called Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong, and Yan Fugui over, introduced them to Qin Jingru one by one, and then they all sat down and waited for the meal to start.

Today, Sha Zhu really showed his true skills and made a total of eight dishes. Although it seemed a little less for a table of more than ten people, in this era, eight dishes on a table is really a lot.

What's more, among the eight dishes, there are four hard dishes.

Braised pork, this dish was not originally available, but was made up by selling meat on the black market.

As soon as this dish came up, everyone exclaimed in surprise. No one had expected that Jia Dongsheng had prepared such a delicious dish. They all cheered loudly and drooled.

Then there was boiled fish. Except for the workers in the steel mill, no one else in the courtyard had ever eaten this dish, let alone heard of it.

A plate of braised wild boar meat, and the last main dish is goose stewed with potatoes.

Whenever one of these four dishes is served, there will be a burst of exclamations, with people loudly praising Jia Dongsheng's magnanimity, and saying good things, such as congratulating Jia Dongsheng and Qin Huairu on their long and happy marriage.

Finally, there are four vegetarian dishes: Mapo tofu, cabbage and black fungus, shredded potatoes with vinegar, and tomato and egg.

Although they are vegetarian dishes, they are all delicious with rice, and each dish is very generous in portion. In addition, the staple food is steamed buns made of two-grain flour, which is enough to fill everyone up.

Finally, Jia Dongsheng placed two bottles of Erguotou on each table. Isn’t it a pity to have food but no wine?

Good food must be paired with good wine.

"Thank you all for coming to congratulate Jingru and I on our wedding today. Thank you all."

Before the meal started, Jia Dongsheng led Qin Jingru to toast each table with a glass of wine, then shouted "Let's eat", and that was it.

"Dongsheng, let's have a drink together."

At Jia Dongsheng's table, in addition to Jia Zhangshi, Chen Xueru, Xu Huizhen, Qin Huairu, Lou Xiaoe, Jia Dongsheng and Qin Jingru, Sha Zhu, Xu Damao, Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong and Yan Fugui were also sitting at this table.

As soon as Jia Dongsheng sat down, Sha Zhu raised his glass, ready to clink it with Jia Dongsheng. Xu Damao, who rarely refuted Sha Zhu's words, also raised his glass and said, "Dongsheng, you're getting married, so you have to drink more today."

"Even if you two are combined, you are no match for me."

Jia Dongsheng laughed, then raised his glass and clinked it with the two of them, then took a sip. He bought Erguotou, and although it was not aged, it tasted good. The recipe of this era was still pure grain wine.

"Dongsheng, as your sister, I want to toast you too. You must live a good life with Jingru from now on. If you bully Jingru, I will not forgive you."

It has to be said that the relationship between women improves very quickly. Chen Xueru and Qin Jingru are about to become the new Shuangru sisters, and Qin Huairu has to stand aside.

There was no way. Although Qin Jingru didn't have much experience, she was not stupid. She behaved very well and every word she said was to cater to Chen Xueru and Xu Huizhen, so in a short time, they became like grasshoppers on the same stick.

"Sister Xueru, don't worry. I'm not someone who doesn't live a good life. You have to eat more today and drink less."

Jia Dongsheng smiled and said, "I'm getting married today. If you and Sister Huizhen drink too much, I won't have time to take you home."

"We don't need you to walk us back. It's only a few steps away. I can walk back with my eyes closed."

Chen Xueru said nonchalantly, "Hurry up, let's have a toast."

"Okay, cheers."

After drinking a sip with Chen Xueru, he finally calmed down the emotional little woman. However, she didn't know that just when Jia Dongsheng said that he didn't have time to send the two girls back, Sha Zhu was about to stand up and said that he would send them back.

However, although he had decided to shift his target to these two women, his mind had always been on Qin Huairu, which made Sha Zhu feel that he could not say anything to please other women in front of Qin Huairu.

So, he pursed his lips, but in the end didn't say anything.

Xu Damao had been observing Sha Zhu and knew what he was trying to do. However, when he saw that Sha Zhu couldn't say anything in the end, he couldn't help but sneer in his heart and said, "Coward."

But in fact, Xu Damao was even happier. The more cowardly Sha Zhu was, the less likely it was that he would find a partner, and the more time he would have to mock him. In this way, Xu Damao would save himself a lot of trouble and would not need to spend too much time and effort to ruin Sha Zhu's blind date career.

It can be said that everyone who eats a meal has different thoughts in their mind, but Qin Jingru was quite happy while eating. There was no other way. This was the first time in her life that she had a meal with four main dishes.

Whenever she thought about being able to follow Brother Dongsheng and live a good life every day in the future, she would be extremely happy.
