Chapter 299: Banquet to Thank Guests



Aunt Chen stood up hurriedly: "Let me go."

Nangong Ruochen refused and said, "Aunt Chen, you are already tired today, so don't get up and work. Let me cook the dishes tonight."

After that, he went to the kitchen. After a while, the smell of food came from the kitchen. The two guys ran into the kitchen and watched their father cooking: "Dad, can we eat now?"

"We have to wait a while. The food has to be on the table before we can eat." Nangong Ruochen looked at the two children drooling and didn't let them eat first.

When the food was on the table, Momo and Xuanxuan sat down at the table impatiently, picked up their own bowls, and started eating quickly.

After breakfast early in the morning, Yun Siying coaxed the two children for a long time before going to the back mountain. Before lunch, she went down the mountain carrying a plump pheasant, a fat rabbit and a five-jin fish.

On the way home, I met a soldier who had just got off work and was going home for lunch. Seeing her holding something in her hand, a soldier asked, "Sister-in-law, did you get all these chickens, rabbits and fish from the back mountain?"

Yun Siying did not hide it and said with a smile: "Well, my luck and harvest today are very good."

"Sister-in-law, you've gone deep into the mountains." After hearing her answer, the soldier said it with certainty. He also often went to the back mountain for snacks, so he naturally knew that there were fish in the deep mountain pools.

Yun Siying asked: "Comrade Xiao, have you also been to the deep mountains?" The big fish in her hand was indeed caught from the deep mountains and deep pools, and there were still a few in the space!

"I have been there. Sister-in-law, next time you go, please call Captain Nangong. There are large wild beasts in the deep mountains. It is not safe for you to go alone." The soldier did not expect that the sister-in-law was so brave and kindly reminded him.

"Thank you for the reminder. I'll remember it." Yun Siying strode home carrying the chicken, rabbit and fish.

After lunch, I took a nap with the children. After getting up and washing up, I started to prepare the ingredients in the kitchen with Aunt Chen because I would invite people for dinner in the evening.

When Li Feifei and Aunt Wang arrived, they saw two people busy in the kitchen. Aunt Wang smiled and said, "We are late."

Yun Siying smiled and said, "It's so late. We just started. I'll trouble Auntie and Feifei to help pick these." Then she handed the basket to the two of them without any courtesy.

"Okay." Aunt Wang happily took the basket and sat in the yard with Li Feifei to pick vegetables together.

Yun Siying watched Aunt Chen boil the water, and she killed the pheasant at once. Aunt Chen took it and put it in a wooden basin, scooping boiling water and pouring it on it until the whole pheasant was submerged. After rolling around a few times, I started plucking its hair...

Yun Siying then killed a fat wild rabbit, skinned it, gutted it, removed the internal organs, cleaned it, and chopped the rabbit into pieces and put them in a basin.

Put the onion, ginger and garlic prepared in advance into it, add a little soy sauce, mix well, and set aside to marinate... The four of them worked for an entire afternoon, and when it was time to get off work, they made a sumptuous dinner.

Seven or eight soldiers followed Nangong Ruochen to the house. When they smelled the fragrance of food in the kitchen, they couldn't help swallowing their saliva.

"Captain, no wonder Gazi was so happy that he couldn't sleep all night when he heard that he could come to your house for dinner tonight. Smelling the delicious food, I finally know why."

"Everyone is here, come in and sit down, the food is ready." Yun Siying was wearing an apron, but it did not affect her beauty and temperament at all.

"Thank you for your hard work, sister-in-law." After expressing their gratitude, several people went into the living room and took their seats.

Yuan Guangguo hurriedly stepped forward to support Li Feifei: "Fei Fei, are you tired?"

Li Feifei said to the man beside her, "I'm not a porcelain doll, I'm not that fragile. Siying asked me to help pick vegetables and let me do all the other work. I still feel embarrassed."

"Then you go sit aside, I'll help serve the dishes." After Yuan Guangguo asked his wife to sit down, he went to the kitchen to help serve the dishes and rice.

Unexpectedly, Han Yuecheng and Chen Banghua got there first. Han Yuecheng said jokingly, "Lao Yuan, the Nangong family is increasingly treating you as a guest."

Yuan Guangguo replied with a smile: "I haven't seen you treating yourself as a guest either. We are the same."

Han Yuecheng felt like he had punched a piece of cotton and felt suffocated. Chen Banghua was speechless. His good brother clearly mentioned Yuan Guangguo every time, but he still insisted on looking for trouble in front of the enemy.

The sumptuous meal was soon on the table, including a dish of braised rabbit, a dry pot chicken, a crucian carp soup, a dish of braised pork, a dish of braised eggplant, a dish of stir-fried beans, a dish of stir-fried mushrooms, a dish of cabbage and tofu soup, and some white rice.

The soldiers in the living room were stunned. They had never had such a sumptuous meal during the Chinese New Year. The basic dishes were very delicious and tasty.

"Captain, your meal is so sumptuous that it makes my mouth water."

"Oh! If I had known the meal was so sumptuous, I would have skipped meals from yesterday until now, saving some space for a big meal."

Zhang Gazi smiled proudly: "I didn't eat lunch on purpose, so I could save some space for dinner."

Nangong Ruochen said proudly: "I invite you to dinner, of course I have the utmost sincerity, you can eat as much as you want, your sister-in-law has prepared a lot of food, so you can have as much as you want." The meal was so sumptuous, which showed that Ying'er gave him face.

Nangong Ruochen placed the wine glasses in front of everyone, then he remembered that the good wine was in his wife's space, and Yu said, "Ying'er, where do we put the wine at home?"

Yun Siying then remembered that she had been in her space for a long time, and said with a smile: "Of course I put it at home, wait, I will get it for you, it's just right to rest tomorrow, I will let you drink to your heart's content tonight."

Then he walked into her and Nangong Ruochen's room, took out six bottles of good wine from the space, and carried them to the living room: "Achen, the wine you asked for is here."

Nangong Ruochen came forward to receive the wine and opened a bottle first. The rich aroma of wine filled the air, and he immediately filled the glasses in front of everyone.

He looked at them and said, "A few months ago, my brothers worked tirelessly and ran around everywhere, and never gave up the thought of looking for me. So, I would like to toast everyone and thank you brothers for all the efforts you have made for me. I'll drink first as a sign of respect." After Nangong Ruochen finished speaking, he raised his head and drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.

"Captain, this is what the brothers should do. I think no matter who among us does such a thing, you will not give up on us." Several people also picked up the wine glasses in front of them and drank them all in one gulp.

Yun Siying said hurriedly: "Everyone eat first to warm up your stomach, and then drink as much as you want."

"Yes, eat a full meal first, then you will have the energy to drink." Nangong Ruochen took the lead in picking up his own bowl and invited everyone to eat.
