"We've been married for a few days. I'm going to go back to work the day after tomorrow. I'll invite everyone to my house for dinner tomorrow."
Yan Fangming said he would treat us before the wedding, and now is the time.
"OK."
Xiang Nuan asked him, "Who are you going to invite? The family next door, Yu Guangcheng, Deputy Commander Jiang and his wife, who else?"
Yan Fangming thought for a moment and said, "Also invite the two guys who helped greet the guests on the wedding day, and don't invite the others."
Xiang Nuan nodded. "That means there are nine adults and two children. Are there any children coming from Deputy Commander Jiang's family? Are the two young soldiers married?"
"Deputy Commander Jiang may not be able to come, but my aunt should come. Their children are grown up and won't come. The two of them are not married."
"In that case, prepare a table of food. I'll prepare a few more dishes."
It's not worth opening two tables for such a small number of people. We can probably sit at one table if we squeeze together.
"Well, I'll try to come back early tomorrow to help you."
She would definitely be overwhelmed preparing meals for so many people.
"Okay, if you really can't come back, that's fine. I'll prepare early and we can do it together later."
She has a lot of small appliances in her space, so it only takes a little time to prepare the food, but it’s still quick and effortless to cook.
"What dishes do you think are good?"
"Just prepare ten dishes. If we can finish them, there will be no waste. If we prepare too many, there will be no room for them and it will seem too extravagant."
"good."
Xiang Nuan nodded, and the two discussed the menu again.
Yan Fangming was responsible for notifying the guests, and Xiang Nuan started to prepare after having breakfast in the morning.
For meat dishes, she planned to make chicken stewed with potatoes, braised fish, sweet and sour pork, and stir-fried pork with celery. She learned how to make sweet and sour pork from Wu Xiaoying in her hometown. Although it was not authentic, it tasted very good and Yan Fangming loved it very much.
The vegetarian dishes are some seasonal vegetables, such as spicy and sour shredded potatoes, bok choy, and smashed cucumbers.
Finally, add some vegetable dumpling soup to complete the meal.
The staple food is Erhe noodles, which can be added to the pot when stewing chicken or fish.
Yao Jinhua learned that she was treating dinner today, so she took an entire afternoon off to come and help. Seeing that she had almost prepared everything, she smiled and said, "You are really good. You prepared so much. I am in for a treat tonight!"
"Sister-in-law, I can handle this, you should go to work."
When inviting someone to dinner, just bring the mouth. Xiang Nuan never thought that she would take time off specially to come and help.
"I've already invited you. You must be tired cooking so many dishes by yourself. I can help you and you can be more relaxed. You have to stew chicken and fish, and one stove is too slow. Bring the chicken to our house and stew it. It will be faster."
Xiang Nuan smiled and nodded, "Okay, then use your pot to stew the chicken."
The dinner time was 5:30, and the two sisters looked at the time and started to get busy at 4 o'clock so that they could eat when they arrived, and the dishes would not get cold so quickly.
Yan Fangming returned home an hour early. When Yao Jinhua learned that he came back to help, she said with envy, "Your Fangming is really caring. Our Old Sun doesn't know how to help me."
Yan Fangming smiled and said, "The battalion commander is the top leader and has to take charge of the overall situation. No one would notice me skipping work and going home."
Yao Jinhua chuckled, "You just know how to make excuses for him. They will be here soon, right? I've prepared a lot of food."
"Except for Deputy Commander Jiang who can't come because of something, everyone else can come."
"That's fine."
Three people and two pots, soon one tempting dish after another was served on the table. Yu Guangcheng and the other four men arrived first. As soon as he entered the door, Yu Guangcheng went to the kitchen, "Sister-in-law, what did you cook? I can smell it from far away!"
Xiang Nuan smiled and said: "They are all delicious, I guarantee you will be full!"
