Su Mei brought Chen Meirong with her, and the two of them were busy in the kitchen together. For the first meal, Su Mei showed off her skills and worked in full swing in the kitchen.
Su Nuan and Chen Yuanyuan were sitting on the sofa to rest. Little Chen Yuanyuan's mouth never stopped stuffing snacks into her mouth. Su Nuan's heart melted as she watched her cheeks puff up as she chewed.
"Little Yuanyuan, you can't eat any more snacks. Your grandma and mom are cooking. You won't be able to eat later."
Chen Yuanyuan was very well-behaved. Although she still couldn't bear to give up the snacks, she stopped eating them.
"Sister Nuannuan, Yuanyuan doesn't want to eat anymore. Yuanyuan, eat well."
"Good boy, these snacks are all yours. Eat them slowly in the future. But eat less sweets every day, I'm worried about tooth decay."
"Okay, what are cavities?"
Yuanyuan asked curiously
"Tooth decay happens when you eat sweets and don't brush your teeth. The bacteria and bugs on your teeth will eat away your teeth."
Su Nuan, worried that the little girl would have tooth decay and toothache in the future, so she scared her.
Yuanyuan opened her eyes wide, covered her little mouth with her hands, and shook her head in fear.
"Bugs don't want to eat round teeth. Without round teeth, you can't eat delicious food."
Su Nuan looked at the little girl's cute actions and couldn't help laughing "Hahaha"
"Then Yuanyuan needs to be obedient and brush her teeth well every morning and evening, and there won't be any worms."
Yuanyuan nodded seriously in agreement.
Su Mei and her daughter were busy in the kitchen for almost an hour. Later, Johnson and Jack went into the kitchen to help, and the first meal was ready.
The long table in the restaurant was filled with all kinds of dishes, which were delicious and attractive. Just looking at them made one hungry. Su Nuan didn't say much and asked everyone to sit down and prepare to eat.
Before the meal, Su Nuan asked Gu Chengfeng to open the red wine bought from the Friendship Store and gave half a glass of red wine to the adults. Little Yuanyuan drank milk.
Su Nuan raised the wine glass and said, "Come on, let's all have a drink to celebrate our first meal. Cheers."
Everyone raised their glasses and clinked them happily.
Little boy Yuanyuan, because of his small size and short arms, couldn't touch everyone's wine glasses, so he jumped up and down in a hurry.
Chen Meirong couldn't bear it, so she clinked glasses with her, and the little girl sat down contentedly.
Everyone laughed at the little girl's cute behavior.
Yuanyuan looked at everyone laughing at her, her face blushing, and she snuggled into Chen Meirong's arms, causing everyone to laugh again.
Su Nuan smiled and said, "Okay, stop teasing Yuanyuan. She's almost crawling into the ground. Let's toast to Aunt Su and Sister Chen and thank them for their hard work in preparing a sumptuous meal for us."
After a few people clinked their glasses with smiles, they started eating.
I have to say that Su Mei's cooking skills are amazing, comparable to that of a master chef. Every dish is delicious and tasty. The cuisine covers Cantonese, Sichuan and Shanghai cuisines, which can satisfy everyone's taste.
Especially the main dishes, braised pork, braised lion's head, pickled fish, boiled chicken, and even Western-style grilled beef and lamb chops, are all well made.
Su Mei's craftsmanship is truly a treasure.
After they started to use their chopsticks, the only sounds that could be heard were the sounds of food being chewed and the sounds of people picking up dishes. No one spoke a word. Su Mei was very happy watching everyone eat with relish. For a chef, it was a great sense of accomplishment to see the food he cooked being so popular.
After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, the entire table of dishes was basically cleared out.
Su Mei took Chen Meirong to clean up the leftovers, while the others sat in the living room, resting and drinking tea.
After Su Mei and the other person had packed up and sat down together, Su Nuan asked Chen Meirong.
"Sister Chen, do you think we should hire some workers? Right now, it's just Aunt Su and you at home, busy with housework. Aunt Su is old, and there's too much housework to do. It's too tiring, and our garden needs someone to take care of it too."
"I need to find some people, but I don't know their backgrounds. If I recruit them to my home, will there be trouble?"
“That’s true.”
At this time Gu Chengfeng said.
"Can the widow of a martyr do that?"
"Of course, you can, but you have to be a good person and live with me at home."
"There's definitely no problem with their character. A member of my previous team died, leaving their parents with no one to take care of them. It was our team members who took care of them every once in a while. If they can have a job, it will make them feel valuable and they won't always feel like a burden to the team."
"Okay, how many of these do you have over there? There are too many people, I don't need that many, Sister Chen, let's see how many people you need."
Chen Meirong said:
"We need four people to clean the house, two preferably young ones with delicate hands to do the laundry, as many of the ladies' clothes are silk and they can't be snagged. We need two men for the garden, preferably with some knowledge of flower arrangement, one for the doorman, and one for the kitchen helper. That's all we need for now."
"Okay, I understand. I'll make arrangements tomorrow and bring the person over. If you think he's suitable, you can stay. If not, that's fine too."
After they finished talking, they were about to go to rest when Chen Meirong said
"Miss, the antiques and cultural relics you bought are all stored in the warehouse. Where can you think of a good place to put them?"
"Aunt Su, do we have a secret room at home?"
"Miss, the secret room is in the study on the second floor. It's quite spacious and has two layers of storage."
"Take me to see it."
Aunt Su took Su Nuan to the secret room and found it very empty and dark. She called Johnson and Jack to clean it up tomorrow, install the lights, and put the antiques and cultural relics in the secret room and lock it.
We were all exhausted from moving house that day and were ready to go to bed.
