"Okay, Brother Yang, Wanru, you guys take a break. I'll go around the carriages again and treat you to dinner in the dining car tonight."
Chang Baoquan looked at his watch, stood up and said goodbye.
"Okay, Brother Chang, go get busy. Work is important."
After seeing off Chang Baoquan, Yang Baiyi, who was walking behind, locked the carriage door.
"You and Brother Chang just met for the first time, why do you seem to be more enthusiastic than me?"
Looking at how intimately the two of them were chatting just now, if you didn’t know them, you would have thought they were old friends who hadn’t seen each other for many years.
"After all, he is half your family, so there is no harm in building a good relationship with him.
Sometimes the guards' feelings for the old commander are even better than for his father. If I'm not a little more enthusiastic, I'm afraid he'll be offended when he sees your father!"
Yang Baiyi said seriously.
It is very difficult for a new son-in-law who is not married yet. He dare not miss any opportunity to please his wife's family.
During dinner, Chang Baoquan came over and asked them to go to the dining car to eat together.
Yang Baiyi took four lunch boxes and a few pancakes.
Chang Baoquan thought it contained kimchi or Northeastern soybean paste, so he didn't say anything.
"Lao Qin, is the food ready? The guests I want to invite are coming."
The dinner served on the train only consisted of two common winter dishes: cabbage and potatoes.
Fortunately, Chang Baoquan was lucky this time and bought a rabbit on the black market. He originally planned to go home to improve the lives of his parents and children, but who knew that he would meet the old leader's daughter on the train.
"It will be ready soon. The rabbit meat is cooked perfectly. You can drink it with some shredded potatoes first."
The cook was stir-frying the rabbit meat with all his might.
"Comrade, please heat up these lunch boxes."
Yang Baiyi handed in the lunch box and the pancake.
"Oh! So the guest that Public Security Chang wants to invite is you, little comrade!"
The cook's expression became more respectful.
This afternoon he heard from Chang Baoquan that the commander's children would be invited to dinner in the evening. Fortunately, he had been nice enough at noon. He couldn't afford to offend such a person.
"Chang Gong'an, take your guests to find a seat first. I'll bring the rabbit over to you when it's cooked."
The cook didn't dare to keep the young second generation waiting for long.
"Okay, then I'll trouble Master Qin. Brother Yang, let's take a seat first."
The four of them found a random seat and sat down.
Soon, the braised rabbit meat was served, along with a plate of spicy and sour potato shreds, a plate of stir-fried cabbage, and a dish of pickles, which barely made up the four dishes.
"Wanru, Xiaoxiao, eat it while it's hot. We're lucky this time. We bought a wild rabbit."
Chang Baoquan opened a bottle of Northeastern sorghum and poured a glass for Yang Baiyi and himself.
The little girl ate in small bites, she couldn't understand why she needed luck to eat a wild rabbit. Wasn't this just a home-cooked dish?
"Xiaoxiao, you're welcome. Eat more meat."
Chang Baoquan thought that the little girl was a little reserved and couldn't relax because it was her first time having dinner with him.
"Thank you. I'll save some space for the lunch boxes. They're all made by grandma and they're delicious."
The little girl politely declined Chang Baoquan's kindness.
"Brother Yang, let's drink."
Chang Baoquan also liked this very polite little girl. He wanted to see how long the little girl could hold out in front of the delicious rabbit meat.
When the cook brought the heated lunch boxes and opened them one by one, Chang Baoquan's eyes almost popped out.
Braised lamb in red sauce, Chang Baoquan would never make a mistake with this. Although lamb is not eaten often, its unique rich aroma will make people remember it after eating it once.
The braised pork elbow was cut into small pieces because the lunch box was not big, but the unique skin and meat structure of the elbow still made it recognizable at a glance.
Stir-fried dried beans with bacon, red lean meat, transparent fat. Let’s not talk about the taste, just the appearance is attractive enough.
Egg sauce, this dish is the closest to what Chang Baoquan guessed, but it is not the Northeastern soybean paste as guessed.
The egg sauce made by Muxue is made with absolutely real ingredients. The small amount of soybean paste is just for color adjustment. The lunch box is almost entirely filled with eggs.
Looking at the four lunch boxes and then at the braised rabbit meat that he was so proud of just a minute ago, Chang Baoquan fell into deep self-doubt.
"Brother Yang, Wanru, is this the dry food you brought with you on the road?"
This is too exaggerated. It would be difficult for a state-owned restaurant to prepare all these dishes at once!
If he wasn't afraid of being impolite, Chang Baoquan really wanted to ask what Yang Baiyi's parents did.
Chang Baoquan had been a guard for Commander Lin for several years, so he knew the quality of food in Commander Lin's family.
Except for certain festivals, vegetarian dishes are usually the main dish. The supply of meat is tight, and the portion for one day is just enough to satisfy your taste.
So he dared to conclude that these dishes must have been arranged by Yang Baiyi's family.
"Yes! Grandma made a lot for us!"
It’s not that the little girl is not modest. These dishes are just common meals for their family. The little girl takes it for granted that everyone eats like this.
During the following meal, Chang Baoquan was obviously much more reserved and was much more polite to Yang Baiyi.
Because there was only one police officer accompanying each train, and Chang Baoquan had to be on duty at night, they didn't dare drink too much. The two of them shared a bottle of wine and didn't drink any more.
After dinner, Yang Baiyi took the empty lunch box and took Lin Wanru and his sister back to the sleeper car.
"We seem to have scared Brother Chang."
Thinking of Chang Baoquan's stunned look just now, Yang Baiyi felt like laughing.
