Chapter 229 Another guest comes to the house(1/2)
Regarding Lou Xiao'e's view that "I'm tired of eating chicken, duck and fish every day", the deaf old lady is quite depressed.
I just feel like Lou Xiaoe is completely lost!
You must know that in this era, the staple foods of ordinary families were cornmeal, sweet potatoes, pickles, etc., and even mixed noodles, steamed buns, and vegetables were very few!
Eggs, rice, and flour are all mid- to high-end foods.
As for chicken, duck, fish and other meaty dishes, it is no exaggeration to say that they can only be eaten during festivals and special events, and the portions are pitifully small!
Xu Weiguo can eat enough chicken, duck, fish, eggs, rice, and white flour every day. The living standard of his family is definitely far higher than that of most families!
In the eyes of outsiders, they are all happy and wealthy families!
Of course, Lou Xiao'e is not the kind of picky person. The reason why she said that was probably to test Xu Weiguo.
The deaf old lady was not used to Lou Xiao'e, "Girl Lou, it would be nice to have something to eat these days, let alone eat as well as our family does!"
"It's enough to just say it, but it can't be taken seriously!"
Lou Xiao'e quickly held the deaf old lady's arm and said with a smile: "Grandma, I know what I said is a bit excessive, but the reason why I did this is because I don't want Wei Guo to be too proud!"
"Otherwise, he will threaten us with food from now on!"
Of course, the deaf old lady was not really angry. After understanding what Lou Xiaoe meant, she said with a complicated expression: "You are the only one who still wants to stop Weiguo?"
"Old lady, I advise you to be careful, otherwise Weiguo fails to stop you and you end up being spared!"
Lou Xiao'e shook her head confidently, "Grandma, don't worry, this will never happen, I know it in my heart!"
Xu Weiguo smiled and said: "Sister Xiao'e, you really don't want to give up until you reach the Yellow River, so I will show you my cooking skills today!"
"Today I have to make a dish that makes you want to eat it and make you want to eat it after you eat it!"
Lou Xiao'e didn't believe it, "I don't believe you can make any memorable dishes without using chicken, duck, fish and so on!"
Xu Weiguo was just about to make an announcement.
The door to the house was pushed open, and Du Yue, who had just gotten off work, and her tutor Ran Qiu walked in together.
"Weiguo (Brother Xu), what are you talking about? Are you having such a good time chatting?"
"Is it possible that there is something delicious to eat today?"
Teacher Ran Qiu has gradually become more proficient in Xu Weiguo's country these days, and the dinner Xu Weiguo cooks every day is her biggest expectation every day!
And when he heard that Xu Weiguo was going to cook again, teacher Ran Qiu had a look of anticipation on his face.
Xu Weiguo hadn't asked any questions yet, but Lou Xiao'e was the first to speak, "Du Yue, Ran Qiu, I just discussed with Weiguo again. We eat too much chicken, duck, and fish at home. Can we change the mouth position?"
"Weiguo agreed, I'm already looking forward to it!"
Ran Qiu looked at Lou Xiao'e with a horrified expression.
Tsk tsk, she is indeed a rich lady, she is even tired of eating chicken, duck and fish!
But I’m not tired of it yet!
If she had been here just now, Ran Qiu would definitely have stood up and said something, but now that the deal is done and Xu Weiguo has agreed, she has nothing to say.
Du Yue smiled and said: "Sister Xiao'e, it seems that our good days have not passed for a few days, right?"
"Are you so anxious to go back to eating wowotou and pickles? Then let's make a deal first and don't cry then!"
Ran Qiu also nodded quickly.
It was just one high-quality meal a day, and she didn't want to lower the quality.
As the saying goes, it is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality. Even Du Yue, Ran Qiu and Lou Xiaoe are the same.
Lou Xiao'e also suddenly realized what she was doing and why she couldn't live with the food!
If Xu Weiguo really gave her a whole cornbread and wild vegetable pancakes, would she still have to suffer to finish them?
He quickly said: "Weiguo, we are not allowed to lower the quality of the food. You don't have to change everything. If there is just one difference, I will accept it!"
Du Yue smiled and said: "Sister Xiao'e, you still want to make a bet with Wei Guo!"
"Isn't this difficult for yourself? I don't think you can win!"
Ran Qiu nodded again and expressed his opinion.
Lou Xiao'e, however, did not believe this evil and insisted: "Wei Guo himself said that adults have adult fun. How can we do it without some challenge!"
"Weiguo, am I right?"
Xu Weiguo spread his hands, "What's so difficult about this!"
"You wait!"
Bragging!
Lou Xiao'e made up her mind and told herself to hold on tight later!
You have to be picky about anything you say!
Xu Weiguo smiled slightly, turned around and walked into the kitchen. When he came out again, he already had several things in his hands.
When they saw these things, the eyes of the women in the room suddenly widened!
Cucumber!
Tomato!
Lentils!
And it's still extremely fresh, as if it had just been picked from the vegetable garden.
Not only that, after Xu Weiguo put these three items on the table, he immediately took out the corn!
Just by looking at it, the girls knew that this was not some old corn on the cob, but the kind of fresh, tender and juicy corn!
Hiss~
All the women in the room took a deep breath!
Lou Xiao'e quickly grabbed the vegetables on the table and observed them carefully. Then she rubbed her eyes and exclaimed: "I... I must have had blurry eyes and hallucinations!"
"How can we have these things in this winter?"
If these fresh vegetables were placed at other times, they would not be so surprised at all, but now it is completely winter, and the Chinese New Year is coming soon. Now there are only three vegetables for sale in the market outside, which are Chinese cabbage, potatoes, and
You can’t even see the hair on carrots, tomatoes, cucumbers, and lentils!
I guess you can still buy it when winter just comes. After all, some are still alive, but it’s not new!
"Haha, eating these three vegetables doesn't mean it's reducing the quality!"
Xu Weiguo smiled, then turned and went into the kitchen to cook.
Du Yue followed in, "Weiguo, where did you get these fresh vegetables? Could it be that you took advantage of your position..."
Xu Weiguo shook his head, "Daughter-in-law, what are you thinking about? Am I, Xu Weiguo, that kind of person?"
"Let me tell you the truth, do you remember that I told you before that I planned to find a secluded place in the countryside to build a farm?"
Du Yue suddenly nodded, "You told me this, didn't you..."
"That's right!" Xu Weiguo nodded, "These are the fresh vegetables produced by me on this farm!"
"If you are interested, I will take you to see it sometime! I now solemnly declare that our family will no longer be short of fresh vegetables in the future!"
Du Yue was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Wei Guo, you are so awesome! I didn't expect you to succeed!"
"However, I'm afraid that won't work these days. You still have to make banquets for others!"
"Wait until next year. Next year I will go to the countryside farm with you to see it!"
"The main task this year is to prepare a banquet for the factory workers' homes. After all, I agreed to it!"
Xu Weiguo nodded. He and Du Yue had discussed this matter long ago. Since they agreed to do it until the end of the year, they must stick to it.
At this time, Lou Xiao'e also walked in and said in surprise: "Du Yue, you are still preparing a banquet for others in Weiguo!"
"Weiguo is not what he used to be. He is not the original buyer of Diaoyutai. He also cooks for others. Isn't the price a bit low?"
Although I was still betting with Xu Weiguo just now, I am now consciously defending Xu Weiguo.
"In short, I feel that Wei Guo's current status is not suitable for cooking for others. It will have an impact on him!"
Du Yue nodded, "I know this too."
"But Weiguo said that since we promised others, we must fulfill it. I saw that there are not many people behind, and we won't do it after this year!"
Lou Xiaoe still feels something is wrong.
In his eyes, Xu Weiguo is now almost the same as the director of the steel rolling mill. Although he is different in level, he is absolutely crushing in terms of power!
And the cooking skills are recognized as reaching the level of an imperial chef.
Under normal circumstances, if you want to hire such a person to cook, most people would never have the opportunity!
If that family can invite such a person, word will spread that not only the host will be famous, but also the guests who come to the banquet will be honored!
Just saying that I have tasted Section Chief Xu’s cooking will make a lot of people envious!
To be continued...
