Although whether or not to hold a wedding banquet was not a big deal for Su Qinghu, since her mother-in-law mentioned it and expressed her concerns, Su Qinghu took it to heart.
She had to think carefully. If she held a wedding banquet without notifying the relatives to come, how could she make the wedding banquet decent and lively?
Of course, we can put this matter behind us now.
"Dad, let them all stay. I bought some food and wine. Let's have a meal together later." Su Qinghu rolled up his sleeves and said with a smile, "I'll show you some of my skills!"
When he said this, Chen Bai smiled and said, "Okay, I think so too."
Even though he is older, these people can still be considered his comrades.
When entertaining comrades, of course we need good wine and good food.
"Chen Lie doesn't drink, so we don't have any liquor at home." Su Qinghu pointed to the kitchen. "I just went out to buy some beer and soda. At least one bottle each."
She hadn't imagined that it would be so difficult to buy beer in this day and age!
The kind that comes in barrels costs about 20 cents per cup, which is fine, but the key is that the supply cannot meet the demand.
Of course, she didn't want it because she felt that the barrel version was not very hygienic.
You can buy it in bottles, but there aren't many left. The weirdest thing is that they're sold in bundles!
It's like if you buy beer, you have to buy something else, otherwise the beer won't be sold...
If they hadn't been in a hurry to come back, if the supervisor hadn't smiled and said that it was the salesperson's private behavior, they wouldn't have done that, and if there hadn't been no payment receipt, Su Qinghu would definitely have called the relevant department on the spot.
In the end, there was no bundled sale, and they bought enough beer. After Su Qinghu said a few words about what this violated and what consequences it would cause, he came back.
On the way back, she thought about what happened at that time. She always felt that the small leader who was almost a supervisor knew her and knew that she was a reporter.
After searching her memory and reviewing the interview locations she had taken since she started working, Su Qinghu finally understood. She had once conducted an interview on a neighboring street about the impact of the orderly operation of vegetable farmers on the city's appearance.
Maybe it's because the area has been replanned that it has some deterrent effect on the young leader?
By the time she reached her doorstep, she was no longer angry about the bundling and was thinking about going back another day and maybe even writing another report.
"Then I'll ask Xiao Huang to go back and get a bottle of baijiu." Chen Baicai finished speaking when he sensed Ms. Meng's low pressure. He paused and sighed, "Today's situation is different. Normally, it's fine if you control my drinking, but if I don't want to drink, then I don't. But today, wouldn't it be a bit unreasonable not to drink some baijiu?"
Ms. Meng: "Why is that unacceptable? If you want to drink baijiu, drink it by yourself, don't bring these young people along. What if they get drunk or reek of alcohol? When they get home, there might be a quarrel between you and your spouse."
Looking at her husband, Ms. Meng smiled and said, "If you really feel like you're missing something without some white wine, then after we have dinner together, let Xiao Su divide the basket of vegetables and give it to them to take away. That would be great and will promote family harmony."
Su Qinghu just stood aside with a smile on her lips and curved eyes, never interrupting.
Chen Bai sighed. What a great opportunity to drink...
As soon as she finished speaking, several people immediately supported Ms. Meng, saying that this was a good idea so that she wouldn't be scolded when she returned home.
There was nothing Chen Bai could do; the liquor issue naturally came to nothing.
Entering the kitchen, Su Qinghu looked at her watch. It had been almost an hour and a half since she left, and the refrigerator could now be plugged in.
She plugged in the refrigerator, then started washing the meat and vegetables, cutting and matching the vegetables and meat, and then started cooking.
First, there are vegetarian dumplings. This is a staple food and is easy to make. It can be used to fill the stomachs of people who are working outside. After all, it is already seven or eight o'clock.
Cut the spinach into sections and blanch them, cut the carrots into shreds and blanch them, fry a few eggs, add dried shrimps, add seasonings, then pour in the oil cooked with green onions, ginger, garlic and coriander, stir well, roll into balls, coat with cornmeal, and steam directly in the pot.
Then make other dishes.
Su Qinghu is efficient in his work and is naturally not the type to waste time when cooking. With a honeycomb coal stove and liquefied gas, cooking can only be faster, not slower.
Using two pots together, eight or nine dishes can be prepared in just over half an hour.
In the hot summer, rice is naturally the last dish to be served, so Su Qinghu steamed the rice when it was the third to last dish.
The rice is steamed, and the last dish has not been fried yet, but the fragrant vegetable dumplings have been dried and are not so hot anymore.
I asked my mother-in-law, Ms. Meng, to bring a plate to the three children, and the rest was left in the yard.
In the yard, Chen Bai was talking to everyone. When he saw the vegetable dumplings coming up, he was a little surprised. Could vegetable dumplings be so fragrant?
Just smelling it makes me hungry.
"This is the dipping sauce." After Ms. Meng handed the vegetable dumplings to the children, she returned to the kitchen and brought the dipping sauce that Su Qinghu had given them. "Everyone, please feel free. This dipping sauce contains chili peppers. If you are not afraid of spicy food, you can dip it in the dipping sauce. It will taste better."
After saying that, he went back to the kitchen.
In the living room, three people looked at the six vegetable dumplings and didn't eat them for a while.
Qian Duoshu looked at Dadan and then at Erdan, and saw that they didn't do anything. Due to their good upbringing, he put his little hands on the edge of the table and didn't do anything either.
After waiting for a long time and seeing them still not making any move, Qian Duoshu became puzzled, "Big brother, second brother, it's cold now, you can eat it now."
Erdan glanced at him and said, "Do I need you to remind me? Don't I know it's time to eat?"
"Then why don't you eat?" Qian Duoshu asked, "Big brother and second brother don't know how to count? There are three of us, and there are six vegetable dumplings, so we can each have two."
Isn't this simple arithmetic? Why did the eldest and second brothers hesitate for so long?
Qian Duoshu didn't understand, but Dadan understood what Erdan was thinking.
It was okay not to talk before, but now it seems not so okay.
He: "Two per person, you can start eating now."
Qian Duoshu cheered and was about to make a move when Erdan stopped him: "Wait! Don't eat yet! I have something to say! After I finish, we can decide whether to make a move or not."
Qian Duoshu opened his mouth and asked, "Big brother and second brother, do you want to play games before dinner?"
His father often told him that he should concentrate on his work, and the same applies to eating.
Brother, don’t you know?
He was puzzled and blinked his eyes, partly to seek knowledge and partly to wait for the two to finish talking so that he could explain to them that they should concentrate on eating.
"Who's not eating actively? This isn't called playing games before dinner. This is a chance for you, the brothers, to get more vegetable dumplings." Erdan smiled slyly, "Whoever wins gets an extra vegetable dumpling, isn't that good?"
