The Shanghai accent was already a bit coquettish, not to mention that Lin Banxia intentionally softened her tone, making her voice seem even more delicate.
When Gu Shiqing's comrades present heard this, they all got goose bumps.
Looking at the person who was talking, Lin Banxia had tied her hair into a low bun because she was going to cook. She was wearing a light blue blouse that made her skin look as white as snow. Her eyebrows were slender and delicate, and her eyes were sparkling. At this moment, she was looking at them with a smile.
Oh my god, did they see a fairy?
Gu Shiqing saw that his comrades were all staring at his wife, so he coughed lightly and reminded them to pay attention to the impact! This is his wife!
He walked in front of Lin Banxia, shielding her from the gazes of these people, and said, "Only Captain Liu from next door has not come yet. I guess he thinks they are close and plans to wait until everyone else arrives before coming over."
Xiao Wenlei recovered from his shock at seeing the fairy and immediately said, "I'll go and call her! I'll go and call her!"
Then he shouted to the neighbor next door: "Lao Liu, come and eat quickly, or you won't be able to eat!"
Captain Liu and Hou Xiufen heard the noise and hurried over.
As soon as I entered the door, I smelled a rich aroma.
Because Gu Shiqing had already brought out the prepared medicinal food, the aroma became even stronger as soon as the lid was opened, making people's appetite almost burst out, and there was also a faint smell of rice.
But they couldn't tell what the smell was. Only Lin Banxia knew that it was a faint medicinal scent.
What she cooked was medicinal food, which contained medicinal herbs herself, but it was very nutritious!
"Come and eat." Lin Banxia took off her apron and put it on the table. She smiled at Hou Xiufen and saw that only the couple were there. She asked, "Sister-in-law, why didn't Gangdan come?"
"It's okay, don't worry about him, he's not hungry." Hou Xiufen said. In fact, she didn't want to bring another child to eat for free.
Seven or eight people sat down at the table and began to prepare to eat.
Lin Banxia introduced: "These dishes are suitable for you men. They are called 'War Preparation Vitality Soup'. They can replenish qi, increase muscle, and improve endurance.
These dishes are more suitable for us women, as they are good for replenishing qi and nourishing the skin. I think the weather is too hot now, and I am afraid that everyone’s appetite is not so good, so I also made a soup to strengthen the spleen and stimulate the appetite. You can drink some before dinner.”
Everyone was stunned when they heard this; it was the first time they heard that eating vegetables could have such an effect.
Is this a meal or medicine?
Gu Shiqing saw his comrades looking at each other in bewilderment, especially Xiao Wenlei, whose eyes were vague and it seemed that he did not believe it very much.
She glared at Xiao Wenlei first, then helped explain, "Banxia's grandfather is an old Chinese medicine doctor. She has learned medicine from him since she was a child. These are the medicinal foods she specially made."
"Medicinal food?" Captain Cao spoke first. "I seem to have heard of it before. It seems to be able to regulate the body."
"But I heard that medicinal food doesn't taste good. If sister-in-law hadn't told me, I really wouldn't have known that such a delicious dish was not a medicinal food."
"Whether it tastes good or not, you'll know after you try it." Lin Banxia said confidently.
She makes the medicinal food herself, so it can’t possibly taste bad!
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone started eating.
After eating, they all began to praise Lin Banxia's cooking skills and said that the food tasted really good. If they just ate it for the taste, it would be fine. After eating it, they really felt a strange feeling in their bodies. It was not only the satisfaction of eating delicious food, but also a very comfortable feeling as if the body had gained energy.
At this moment, even Xiao Wenlei, who didn't believe it at first, didn't say anything.
At other people's warm-home banquets, the men would definitely drink some wine and chat while eating, but at this warm-home banquet today, everyone tacitly agreed not to say much.
The reason was simple. Everyone was so busy eating that they had no time to talk!
It is no exaggeration to say that the taste is absolutely amazing! The more you eat, the more you eat.
I don’t know if it was because we drank the bowl of spleen-strengthening and appetite-stimulating soup in advance, but everyone ate their fill without feeling bloated or uncomfortable in the stomach. We just felt comfortable and satisfied.
At the end, Captain Cao asked somewhat uncomfortably: "Sister-in-law, my wife is pregnant now. I see that she doesn't look very good recently. What kind of medicinal food is suitable for her?"
Lin Banxia asked Captain Cao's wife in detail how many months she had been pregnant, and what her reactions were during the pregnancy. Finally, she said:
"She is pregnant now, so it is suitable for her to eat medicinal food that can both replenish qi and blood and enhance immunity. I made this medicinal food a day ago, and there is still some left in the kitchen. You can take it away later."
After hearing this, Captain Cao hurriedly thanked her: "Sister-in-law, thank you so much! Old Gu, you are so lucky to have married such a lovely wife like you."
After hearing this, Gu Shiqing smiled to show his approval.
Xiao Wenlei saw Gu Shiqing's expression. Gu Shiqing didn't look like he was suffering. Why did he feel that Gu Shiqing was enjoying it?
Especially when Gu Shiqing was having a meal, he would look at Lin Banxia from time to time with that arrogant look. If you didn't know, you would definitely think that they had a very sweet relationship as a couple.
Xiao Wenlei was really confused. What was going on? Gu Shiqing seemed like a completely different person after his trip home.
When I thought about how he was sympathizing with Gu Shiqing just two days ago, I suddenly felt that he looked like a clown.
On the other side, seeing that the time was almost up, Yu Juan hurried to the military families' canteen.
Yesterday she saw with her own eyes Lin Banxia asking others for directions to the military families' canteen, probably because she was going to talk about the dinner party in the canteen.
Captain Gu really spoiled Lin Banxia too much and actually let her treat everyone in the cafeteria.
But this is also the case, it gives her a chance!
