"This is a pastry I made by myself. Please don't be disgusted by it. Try it." Song Zhi looked at the puzzled crowd and explained with a smile.
The men's table was also very curious. Some of them were so curious that they couldn't help but take a red date glutinous rice cake to try it. It looked no different from red dates, but it was filled with white glutinous rice and covered with a layer of honey.
"It's delicious, Political Commissar, my sister-in-law made it really well." Nowadays, everyone likes sweets. After all, people like what they lack.
When others heard this, they curiously took one to try, and received unanimous praise from everyone.
"Xiao Song's cooking skills are really good, Xiao Gu, you are so lucky!" Commander Li is not young anymore, he looks to be in his early fifties, but soldiers are in good health, he looks very healthy, several years younger than his actual age.
"Zhizhi's cooking skills are really good. I've been wanting to get together with my brothers these days. We happen to have some time today, so don't be restrained, just eat and drink." Gu Huaijin accepted everyone's praise for Song Zhi and said with a smile.
"Yes, Political Commissar Gu invited us to dinner today. It's rare for us all to get together, so we should eat and drink." A battalion commander who was about 25 or 26 years old answered with a smile.
"What did Xiao Song do before?" Song Xiaowen asked curiously. It seemed that Song Zhi had good skills and was a very kind person.
"Aunt Song, I stayed at home before I got married, but my mother has good cooking skills and I learned from her." Song Zhi said embarrassedly. Although she was thick-skinned, she was embarrassed to say that she used to be a parasite at home.
"That's not bad. The daughter follows in her mother's footsteps, no wonder she's so good at cooking." Song Xiaowen was very surprised. The girl looked thin and weak, but she was unexpectedly a good cook.
"My skills are just average. I just learned from the adults at home." Song Zhi said politely.
Li Jun, who was sitting next to Song Xiaowen, had watery eyes. He blinked his big eyes and stared at the pastries in front of him. He looked up at his mother and put his little hands under the table, ready to take something. But his mother didn't say anything, so he didn't dare to raise his hands to take it.
Dongdong was not to be outdone. He stared at the pastry without moving, as if he wanted to eat it alive.
Song Zhi looked at the only two children at the table and greeted everyone with a smile, "Everyone eat first and try my cooking."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone became impolite and picked up their chopsticks to taste Song Zhi's cooking. No one even had time to talk. Song Zhi saw that the pork rib soup was almost done, so he stood up and prepared to serve it.
Gu Huaijin saw her walking towards the kitchen and quickly stood up.
"I'll serve it, you go out and eat!" Seeing that Song Zhi had already served the soup in a bowl, Gu Huaijin wanted her to go out and eat first, as the soup was still hot as it had just been stewed!
Song Zhi smiled when he saw him come in and said, "Why did you come in too? Go and have dinner with them."
"It's okay. We're all together all day long. We'll see each other every day." Gu Huaijin said as he picked up a soup bowl in one hand and walked towards the dining table.
When they reached the girls' table, Song Zhi hurriedly walked over from behind him and took it.
This meal was a great pleasure for all the guests.
"Mom, this sister-in-law's cooking is so delicious." It was the best meal he had ever had here. Not only was it delicious, but there were also different kinds of pastries that he had never seen before. It was much better than the ones in the state-owned restaurants in their town.
Song Xiaowen smiled and looked at her youngest son tenderly. This youngest son was the most picky eater. He had been picky about food since he was young. The nanny at home cooked for him in different ways, but he never told her what he liked to eat. But today, it was strange that he actually took the initiative to say that the food was delicious.
However, Song Xiaowen was still happy to see her child love to eat, and her smile became more genuine, "What a little glutton."
Zhou Miaomiao, who was sitting nearby, laughed when she heard this. "Not to mention the children, even I think this food is very delicious. The cooking skills are really good."
Although Qian Jiali didn't want to compliment them, everyone was smiling and she couldn't put on a cold face. She still had some sense of propriety.
"Indeed, there's been a lot of delicious food wafting around us these past few days. I thought it was from someone else's family. I've never heard of anyone with such excellent cooking skills before. Now I know it's from Political Commissar Gu's family."
Even though Zhao Yun, who always read people's expressions and livened up the atmosphere, was not sure how to respond. "Isn't this just like saying that someone likes to eat delicious food by themselves behind closed doors, so why shouldn't a neighbor bring her some?" Such uncooperative words, yet she actually said them so confidently. She and Xiao Song had been on good terms recently, so she was naturally unhappy to hear this.
"What you said, Xiao Qian? If I didn't know, I would have thought that I had never delivered anything to your house! A few nights ago, I delivered cakes to your house and knocked on your door, but no one was home. I can't just squat and wait at your door!" This was said half-jokingly, and Zhao Yun was not willing to give her face. She was good at sowing discord, so it was good enough that he didn't scold her.
The others also noticed the bloody situation. Song Xiaowen's face visibly turned sour. She had also been through a lot in her youth, and she hated people who were secretly plotting against each other. Thinking that she was an elder after all, she started to remind them, "Xiao Qian, your Xiaotian's military achievements were accumulated step by step with great effort. You should fight for him. The most taboo thing for a family member is to hinder their man."
This was undoubtedly a direct insult. Qian Jiali's face changed. She had never been able to hide her feelings, and at this moment she felt a little embarrassed and annoyed. If it weren't for the fact that all the people sitting here today were leaders, she really wanted to leave this place quickly. However, she still forced herself to smile and said, "Thank you Aunt Song for your advice. I'll remember it."
