Chapter 251 Gu Qingwan's Gossip (1)
After everyone arrived.
Wang Chunxia helped Jiang Ning go to the front room to greet the guests and set up the dining table.
Put all the delicious food and drinks that everyone brought together neatly.
In the small kitchen.
Yang Rui was making a fire and boiling water.
Jiang Ning stood in front of the stove and gently put the prepared glutinous rice balls into the iron pot one by one.
Tangyuan dumplings are sweet in themselves, so they don’t need any seasoning.
When the water boils and the glutinous rice balls become bigger and float up, they are cooked.
While waiting for the water to boil.
Jiang Ning noticed that there was some unused glutinous rice flour dough on the side.
She had an idea.
Shape the remaining dough into rectangular strips.
Pour some cooking oil into another iron pot on the side.
When the oil is hot, place the rectangular strips in it.
There was a sizzling sound in the oil pan.
The originally snow-white glutinous rice flour gradually turned into a golden and crispy color.
Jiang Ning picked up the chopsticks and turned the strip over.
Fried golden on all sides.
Take it out of the iron pot, put it on a plate, and arrange it neatly in square shapes.
At this time, continue to add some cooking oil and a handful of white sugar into the iron pot.
After a while.
As the oil temperature rises, the white sugar melts into it and becomes syrup.
During this time, keep turning the syrup with a spoon.
Slowly, the originally transparent white syrup slowly turned into brown-yellow and was ready to be served.
Jiang Ning poured the brown syrup on the golden and crispy strips.
It became a pot of brown sugar rice cake.
Because I didn’t have time to make brown sugar syrup, I used a little white sugar syrup instead.
But the sweet taste is exactly the same.
The glutinous rice balls on the side had already been taken out of the pot and divided into small bowls, with each person having four or five in their bowl.
After a while.
There was a group of people in the room, sitting around a round table, making a lot of noise.
Some were eating dumplings, some were eating glutinous rice balls, and some were slurping on cabbage, pork and vermicelli.
The aroma of the food and the smiles on everyone's faces blend together in a joyous atmosphere.
At times like this, children are often not able to sit at the table to eat because there is simply not enough space.
They are holding
Little Bowl, walking around the adults.
Daya walked to Jiang Ning, pulled Jiang Ning's military coat, and said with shining eyes.
"Aunt, look! This is Daya's new clothes, a thick cotton-padded jacket~!"
After all, she is just a little girl of four or five years old, and the excitement is written all over her face.
Erya also followed Daya and said happily.
"Arya's too! They're new clothes too! New clothes with flowers on them!"
Jiang Ning looked at the flowery cotton jackets on Daya and Erya. They were thick and soft to the touch, and were made of new cotton.
Liu Xiangmei spent a lot of money on this.
After all, last summer, she was reluctant to make a thin new dress for Daya and Erya.
"Do you feel warm in your new clothes, Da Ya and Er Ya?"
"Warm! Not cold at all."
“Not cold, not cold!”
Daya and Erya said in unison.
The two children's faces and dark pupils were filled with excitement.
Erya held the small bowl and ate the last sweet glutinous rice dumpling. She licked her lips and sucked the sweetness, feeling particularly reluctant to leave.
There was also a bit of black sesame filling at the corner of Daya's mouth.
The two little guys confessed their love to Jiang Ning.
"Aunt, the dumplings you made are so delicious!"
"Auntie, it's sweet and delicious! You are so awesome!"
"Auntie, Daya wants to be like you and cook delicious food in the future."
"Auntie, Erya wants to eat lots of delicious food!"
Jiang Ning was amused by these two little guys.
She picked up the remaining brown sugar rice cake on the table and put it into the small bowls of the two little ones.
"This is also sweet, you guys eat it."
"Aunt, you are so nice~"
Jiang Ning smiled and touched the top of Daya and Erya’s heads.
When she turned around, she found that the eyes of the sisters-in-law around her were all on her, staring at her.
Liu Xiangmei was the first to sigh.
"Sister Ning, you will definitely be a good mother in the future."
"You said Sister Ning is so fair and tender, and Captain Qin is also handsome. How cute would their child be?"
"Maybe when it's just born, it will be just like the glutinous rice balls we eat today, plump, white and tender..."
Mention the children.
The sisters-in-law seemed to have opened their chatterboxes and had endless things to say.
Everyone was eating and chatting at the same time, and the atmosphere was very lively.
In such casual conversations, gossip about the Dong family and the Li family is inevitable.
Talking and talking.
When Jiang Ning came back to his senses, everyone had actually turned the topic to a special person.
That is——Gu Qingwan.
"Sister Ning, I remember that you are quite familiar with Mr. Gu from the department store. Do you know that Mr. Gu was married before?"
"Of course Sister Ning knows this! The cheongsam that Boss Gu wore at his wedding was made by Sister Ning herself. I saw it once, and she was so beautiful, just like a movie star in an old movie."
"I know that too. I heard that when Boss Gu got married, there were 88 tables for the banquet alone, and all the piglets in the surrounding area were bought by his family."
"Wow... 88 tables... how many guests are they entertaining? How much will it cost?"
"Boss Gu has a big family and is not short of money. Besides, the people attending the wedding are all well-known and important people, so how can they not give red envelopes?"
The first question was clearly directed to Jiang Ning.
But everyone was talking so excitedly that Jiang Ning didn't have a chance to interrupt.
The sister-in-law who spoke first said with a mysterious look on her face.
"You all know that Boss Gu is married, but do you know who he is marrying?"
As soon as this problem arises.
The big guy fell silent instantly.
The sisters-in-law had definitely never heard of who Gu Qingwan was going to marry.
Even Jiang Ning didn't know.
Jiang Ning guessed, "It should be a young master from some family, right?"
Nowadays, although free love is emphasized, there is no prejudice against matching people of equal social status.
But with a family like Gu Qingwan's and a background like that, how could she just marry an ordinary person?
Jiang Ning knew Gu Qingwan's career ambitions.
Some even thought that she would abandon her feelings and choose a business marriage.
After all, a useful husband is more important to her than a relationship.
After Jiang Ning spoke.
The other sisters-in-law also nodded, confirming Jiang Ning's guess.
