Seeing that they all had strong tastes, I prepared a pot of braised meat in advance.

Afterwards, I mixed mutton and pork fillings and made a lot of dumplings, so I had the staple food.

Next, I started to prepare dinner, thinking of going to Jiang Liyan's house next door to ask for a bowl of sauerkraut, but I didn't go there empty-handed, I brought a bowl of braised meat.

After explaining her purpose, Jiang Liyan smiled and said, "This is a good deal, sauerkraut for braised meat. Come to me next time if you have such a good opportunity."

After saying that, he laughed out loud, and then complained, "What a fool! Sauerkraut is not worth much, so why should you bring braised meat over to exchange for it?"

Luo Qiao smiled: "I'm not here to exchange for pickled vegetables. I already have a lot of pickled vegetables, so I wanted to bring some over for Aunt Zhou to try."

After Jiang Liyan cleared the bowl, she washed it again and filled it with pickled cabbage. After knowing that Luo Qiao had guests in the evening, she asked, "Do you want me to help?"

Luo Qiao smiled and said, "Just do your thing. I already braised a pot of meat and made dumplings. Now that we have the staple food, we just need to make a few more dishes."

Jiang Liyan heard this and did not insist: "Okay, then call me if you have anything to do. I don't have anything important to do anyway."

Luo Qiao took the sauerkraut back and prepared to make sauerkraut fish, braised fish, braised prawns, fried peanuts, mixed cold vegetables, cut a plate of sausages, and add the braised meat. That was all.

But thinking that there was no wine left at home and they had finished the only bottle of wine at noon, he got up, picked up a basket and left the family compound, also putting the vegetables out of the way to avoid being noticed by those who were interested.

Since I was already out, I might as well go to the vegetable market.

So I just bought half a plate of tofu and asked them to cut it into pieces. I put each piece in a bag and planned to store it in my space when I got home, so that I wouldn't have to worry about not having it next time I wanted to eat it.

I also bought some bean sprouts, thinking that I would put some in when I prepare cold dishes later. As I thought that there were not many seasonings left in the space, I generously purchased another batch. After buying the wine, I also bought some dry goods before heading home.

She worked quickly and had prepared all the dishes before getting off work. She also boiled a pot of water on the fire and was ready to cook the dumplings.

After finishing everything, he went straight back to the house and entered the space, took a quick shower, changed clothes, and just as he got himself ready and went to the kitchen, he heard Lu Yichen leading people into the yard.

Luo Qiao came out with a smile: "You're back just in time, wash your hands and get ready for dinner."

Gao Shanjiang laughed and said, "I'm really causing trouble for my brother and sister-in-law."

Luo Qiao smiled slightly: "Don't say that. You came to Beijing to do business, but you still thought of coming to see Yichen. We have to do our best to be the host. I understand your comradeship."

Gao Shanjiang sighed in his heart at his brother's good luck: "Yi Chen is lucky to marry such a good wife like you."

Lu Yichen had also heard about Gao Shanjiang's family affairs from other people, so he quickly changed the subject and said, "Come on, come on, come on. It's rare for us to get together. Today, you can also taste my wife's cooking skills."

Lu Yichen saw the dishes prepared by his wife and said, "Wife, have you been busy all afternoon?"

Luo Qiao smiled and said, "There was nothing else to do anyway, so I just did a little more."

Lu Yichen was touched and distressed: "Thank you for your hard work. I will give you a massage tonight."

As soon as he finished speaking, Luo Qiao suddenly thought of something and quickly said, "No, no, I'm not that tired."

Before Lu Yichen could say anything, Gao Shanjiang and Fang Jiming came over and Fang Jiming said, "We are here to help."

Luo Qiao pushed Lu Yichen and asked them to take the dishes back into the house.

After seeing the dishes, Fang Jiming said, "Sister-in-law, this is too rich. It really cost you a lot of money."

Luo Qiao handed over the braised meat in her hand: "You and Yichen are brothers. You have come from afar, so I must treat you well. Don't be polite. I will be happy only if you eat and drink well."

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

He took out the wine he had bought and said, "You can drink a little, or drink well, but don't drink too much, it's not good for your health."

After the meal, everyone ate and drank to their heart's content. The two did not stay long, saying that they had to rush back on time to reunite with their companions. They also said that they came in a hurry and did not prepare anything for the children, so they would send some local specialties over when they returned.

After sending the two away, Lu Yichen stopped Luo Qiao from doing anything else. He took all the dishes to the kitchen, washed them and put them in order, then tidied up the living room and ventilated it.

By the time he had finished cleaning up, Luo Qiao had also come out of the shower.

Lu Yichen stepped forward to help blow dry her hair: "Qiaobao, thank you."

Luo Qiao looked up and asked, "Thank me for what?"

Lu Yichen lowered his head and kissed her on the lips: "Thank you for doing so much for me. Everyone envies me for my good luck in finding a sensible, beautiful and capable wife."
