Chapter 357 Treat 1
The two of them thought of a way to make a hanging wooden stick in the kitchen. They put the meat on it and hung it. The weather was cold and the smoke was there, so it should be preserved for a while.
Li Mingjin and Li Chenzhou looked at the hung meat and smiled slightly.
"You did a good job. It's more suitable to hang it here than under the eaves."
"Thank you for the compliment, sir."
"Thank you for the compliment, sir."
Tan Yongguo and Ye Xinguo smiled at each other and started making lunch.
Li Chenzhou took a pen and paper and sat down with Li Mingjin to talk, "Dad, how many people are coming tomorrow? Please give me a specific number so that I can easily specify the amount of dishes and rice."
"This is a problem. There are three general military strategists in the first district, three general military strategists in the second district, and two general military strategists in the third district. This can sit at a table, plus two from the first and second districts, and
There are three of them. There are four of us in the family, so let’s make food for fifteen people first!”
After Li Mingjin finished speaking, Li Chenzhou's menu was also written, and the quantity of food was written to be large; the people who came were basically men. Soldiers eat a lot, and they would rather have leftovers than be embarrassed without food.
Li Mingjin thought for a while and said: "Daughter, you can eat less. I don't know if Xu Jianjun and his family will come. The Baiai Dang family in the first district will definitely come, and the third one is Wen Guojun. Master Xu Jianjun
I’m a little unsure.”
"Okay, dad, I understand." Li Chenzhou nodded and handed the prepared menu to Tan Yongguo, "Tan Yongguo, there is only so much meat and vegetables for tomorrow; we can't cook all the rice, half the rice, and half the rice."
Noodle soup. Then they can eat whatever they want. Although our family has plenty of food, we can’t show off our wealth too much, or others will be jealous.”
"Okay, listen to Shen Zhou." As soon as Tan Yongguo finished speaking, he felt that this sentence sounded a bit familiar. It was only when he took the list back and looked at it with Ye Xinguo that he remembered that this was what the commander-in-chief said!
Tan Yongguo unknowingly moved closer to Li Mingjin.
In order to prepare the meals on time the next day, Tan Yongguo and Ye Xinguo spent half a day in the afternoon cutting the vegetables, taking three large pieces of meat and putting them in the pot to cook; they only need to heat them up tomorrow to cut them and put them on the table.
Most of the dishes on the menu are ready, but there is one thing they can't cook.
Tan Yongguo could only go to Li Chenzhou with the order, "Shen Zhou, we don't know how to make meat, what should we do?"
"Put it in a large bowl, put the sauerkraut at the bottom of the bowl, and put the three-strand pork slices on top; pour soybean oil, oil and salt and other seasonings on it, make four bowls, and put them in a steamer to steam until cooked." Li Chenzhou dictated.
Tan Yongguo probably knew what was going on, "I'll try it."
Tan Yongguo re-entered the kitchen and fiddled with Ye Xinguo for a while; finally they made a decent bowl of braised pork. In the evening they ate braised pork, stewed meat, and stir-fried two side dishes.
The next day, the sky gradually turned white, and Li Chenzhou crawled out of bed. After dressing and washing, he ran in the yard to warm up; then he boxed and practiced.
After exercising, people will sweat and feel comfortable all over.
In the kitchen, Tan Yongguo and Ye Xinguo were already busy.
Li Chenzhou changed into the ordinary clothes she bought and put the treasured clothes into the space; now except when she wears the treasured clothes when going up the mountain, she wears ordinary clothes at other times.
In the concentration camp, there were two confidants living at home; if she often didn't wash her clothes, it would arouse suspicion, but after she put on ordinary clothes, she basically washed them every day in the market. This made Tan Yongguo and Ye Xinguo embarrassed to be sloppy.
He also followed her to take a shower, wash her hair and wash her clothes every day.
Li Mingjin was very satisfied with this phenomenon. Although he didn't say anything, he saw it and agreed with it in his heart.
It's not like she has to do good hygiene work at home when she's on a mission outside; this is a habit she's developed since she was a child. Zhou Zhou, her family member, didn't teach her much when she was a child, but many of her habits are in line with those of the Li family.
At ten o'clock, Li Ying arrived with her son Bai Yingjie, and Li Mingjin pushed her daughter out to greet the guests, "My daughter, these are your aunt and son from Uncle Bai's family of Bai Aidang in District 1; just call me aunt and brother."
"Auntie, brothers from the Bai family, please sit inside. It's warmer inside." Li Chenzhou pointed to the main room and invited them in generously. The cold wind was blowing outside. If she had not practiced, she might not know what to do now.
Just like the aunt in front of me, her cheeks were flushed and her ears were red and stiff.
"My daughter is so pretty. Only when I saw you did I realize that those old ladies in the concentration camp were right; she is indeed our young lady. Her temperament and manners are not something ordinary people can have." Li Yinghao praised her all the time.
Bai Yingjie pulled her mother's arm, "Mom, what are you talking about? Dad asked us to help."
"Smelly boy." Li Ying glared at his son, but did not intend to offend him. He turned around and said to Li Chenzhou: "Girl, I don't know how to call you? It's awkward to call you a girl."
At first, Li Ying thought that this girl was a bitch, but she didn't expect that she was a delicate little girl. When she smiled, she had a normal smile, without showing her teeth, and her every move had her own demeanor, and she was elegant and unpretentious.
She has surpassed most ladies of the world. The problem is, this girl is already outstanding at such a young age. If she is a few years older, the door of the Li family will be broken down by those aristocratic families, right?
Looking at how polite she was to them just now, this girl can't do anything wrong.
"Aunt, my name is Li Chenzhou. If you don't mind, you can call me Shen Zhou. Sit inside, it's too cold with the cold wind blowing outside." Li Chenzhou invited me again.
"No need to sit down, no need to sit down; the head of my family said that you are the only female dependent in General Li Bing's family. He was afraid that you would be too busy, so he asked me to come and help early." Li Ying smiled and shook his head, "Shen Zhou, you take me to the kitchen, and I will help you.
You start with me."
When Li Chenzhou heard this, his heart suddenly brightened, "Aunt, I can be busy inside; I started preparing yesterday afternoon, the vegetables and meat have been cut, and everything that needs to be done is being done, but I don't have anything to do.
Auntie, just sit down and wait for a while to eat."
After hearing this, Li Ying couldn't help but said, "Okay, let's sit in the room and Shen Zhou will talk to me."
"Okay, Auntie." Li Chenzhou invited the two of them into the main room, asked them to sit down at the table, and poured them a glass of water, "Auntie, the Bai family brother, please take a sip of hot water to warm yourself up."
"Thank you, Shen Zhou." Li Ying took the water cup, gave one to his son, and took a sip of the other. With the hot water in his stomach, his whole body warmed up, "Shen Zhou, you don't have time to come to the concentration camp."
It’s so short, why don’t you go out and walk around? No one knows you very well. They only know that General Li Bing has a daughter in his family, and they are all very curious about you.”
"Not long after I moved here, I had to be busy cleaning up the house and outside; I didn't have time to walk around outside. After this period of busyness is over, I have to ask Aunt Bai to take Wu out to recognize people." Li Chenzhou said with a smile and did not refuse.
, but take the initiative to get to know these people in the concentration camp area.
This surprised Li Ying.
