After all, seating arrangement is a very particular matter, and it is easy to make mistakes if you use food as the basis for seating arrangement.

She and Zhao Xingyu were hosting the banquet and were the hosts, so even if she wanted Teacher Jiang to sit in the first seat, they refused, which made her feel a little nervous.

But she can explain it at any time.

"I see." Teacher Jiang nodded, thoughtfully.

"You're talking so much just over a meal!"

Political Commissar Tan complained and quickly snatched the prawns from the chopsticks of Commander Jiang.

"Um?"

Master Jiang frowned and glared at him fiercely.

Until Political Commissar Tan put the shrimp back into 깊놛's bowl.

"I don't usually eat shrimps, so hot pot seems to be quite cheap." They all muttered.

I'll have to ask my daughter-in-law to give me a pot as a gift. I think I can eat this often.

Zhao Xingyu laughed teasingly: "Dad, that's because you didn't see us preparing."

Liu Mingrui agreed: "Yes, it takes a lot of time to prepare these ingredients, and the pot base also needs to be cooked in advance."

“It’s convenient when eating, but not convenient when preparing and cleaning up.”

It must be difficult to wash so many dishes.

Qi Sisi smiled and said, "When there are many people, everyone can contribute some effort and enjoy the meal. If there are few people, it will be very troublesome just to buy the ingredients."

"That's true."

The flame that had just started in Qi's heart was instantly extinguished.

"What are you afraid of? What our troops lack the least is people!"

Commander Jiang said proudly.

"you mean?"

Qi and Political Commissar Tan had different opinions.

"I think our troops can eat this kind of hot pot when we hold parties or festival gatherings." Commander Jiang waved his hand, very generously.

Although it is a bit expensive, it is still acceptable once in a while.

It's better to arrange more staple food.

For example, every time we have a gathering in the cafeteria, we only have some mixed buns and corn cakes.

It's nothing like Jiqi. Not only are there white flour steamed buns made by Jier, but there are also dumplings and glutinous rice balls. It's really dizzying.

The cost of the staple food alone is enough to host a banquet for others.

"Hey, my son, this dinner must have cost you a lot, right?"

Teacher Jiang made a rough calculation and thought it would cost at least a hundred dollars, not to mention the beef, prawns, and spareribs on the table, which made his heart ache.

"It's not bad. Everyone had a great meal, it's worth it!"

Qi Sisi laughed dryly and didn't explain too much.

It may be the influence of past life.

After eating pork at twenty yuan per pound and beef at over a hundred yuan per pound, when I look at the prices of those items that only cost a few cents, I always feel that they are almost the same as picking them up for free.

There is her own man's personal treasury, plus the huge sum of money given by her father-in-law, and the cash rewarded from time to time by the system.

In her eyes, the daily expenses are just money.

It's a good deal to buy a hot one.

Those present were all her close friends and relatives, or comrades who were related to Zhao Xingyu's career, so she was reluctant to leave.

"Don't do this next time!"

Teacher Jiang frowned and didn't quite approve, but he didn't know what to say.

After all, I am a beneficiary, but also an uninvited guest, so I have no right to say these things.

"Teacher, don't worry. The new house dinner today is also for my recovery. We want to make it more lively." Zhao Xingyu raised his glass and toasted everyone.

Rather than celebrating his promotion being reckless, it would be better to say that he was celebrating his leg injury being healed.

This is something worth celebrating in the army.

What could be more joyful than seeing a wounded warrior recover?

"Okay, good boy, keep working hard in the future!"

As expected, Mr. Jiang said nothing more and drank a glass of wine excitedly.

After realizing that the wine he drank was good, he looked a little depressed.

Liu Mingrui snorted, "This is my treasure, I took it out to save face for my apprentice."

"So it's yours, Old Liu. I'm going to taste it carefully!"

Political Commissar Tan said this with a smile, and soon he had three cups of wine.

This made old man Liu very distressed, and he kept persuading him not to drink.

Qi's old-fashioned faces also had a hint of smile.

Qi Sisi sat for a while, left the men at this table, and went to the table with the little girl with Qi's mother.

Although Liu Yuqi and Wang Jinghan are teachers, they are young after all. When the children are overwhelmed and their tempers are revealed, they are a little inconsiderate.

"Yuqi, Jinghan, eat well and don't disturb your daughter."

Qi Sisi waved to Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Chen and asked them to help cook hot pot for the little girl.

It was agreed that they would be asked to help and paid, and they could take the food away after the banquet, so the three of them agreed happily.

Liu Yuqi and Wang Jinghan can also relax.

"It was my negligence."

Qi Sisi took the opportunity to sit down next to him.

Make hot pot for two people.

First, she wasn't that hungry, and second, it was a way of making amends.

I originally thought that the two of them could control the children and there wouldn't be any food fights, so every child could have something to eat, but I forgot that they also had to eat... How embarrassing.

"What's the matter? We originally wanted to help you. We are used to taking care of children." Liu Yuqi was not easy to talk to.

"Yeah, Sisi, just take a dip for a while, it won't affect anything." Wang Jinghan explained.

There were several kinds of food in total, but the children ate slowly and were afraid of being burned. However, under the pressure of the teacher's reputation, the children listened to her and did not go hungry.

"Hey, you guys should eat your own."

Qi Sisi still felt very apologetic, and said softly, "I paid for the sisters-in-law to come here, I'll bring them some more food later, you guys can enjoy your meal."

Compared with the young and tender girl, the three sisters-in-law are much smarter.

There were only children at this table, but the dishes were not bad. They took turns serving the ingredients and sharing the cooked vegetables and meat with the children so that the other two could eat along without any delay.

As for having too many kids? What's the worry? If you order more dishes, are you afraid there won't be enough to eat? !

It's much more enjoyable than eating with those women!

They can eat whatever they want. The children don’t know how to cook, so no one competes with them for the food. They even distribute the portion for the children. It’s so satisfying!

Qi Sisi sat for a while, and saw that Mrs. Liu and the other two had cooked well and everyone could eat some dishes. Wang Jinghan and Liu Yuqi would also be assigned some, and then they returned to their seats.

The people at the head table are all high-ranking officials who hold high positions and have no shortage of food. However, in front of the hot pot, everyone is equal. Even if everyone is gasping for breath due to the spiciness, they still pick up their chopsticks quickly and no one gives in to anyone else.

The people at the other table were even more so.

The team used their chopsticks to their heart's content, you took a chopstick, I took a chopstick, and soon the plate of meat disappeared.

The women at the table were no less busy and ate as much as the guys.

There's still food on the empty table next to you, so I don't need to go get it.

When the food is not yet cooked, I eat some dumplings and steamed bread, then sip some hot pot soup. I sweat from the spiciness and enjoy the meal very much.
