Chapter 123 123. Treating Guests
Chapter 123 123. Invitation
After stewing the mushrooms and fungus chicken, Lin Qingxi basically only had the job of dealing with chicken miscellaneous matter. She added some firewood to the stove and went to deal with chicken miscellaneous matter. As a result, she found that the chicken miscellaneous matter was processed and cut and placed in a bowl.
The hen is an old chicken, and it is only delicious if it is stewed. As for the nearly three bowls of ginseng chicken soup left at noon, she planned to give Zhou Mingming, Huihong, Village Chief Xie and Woodsman Feng’s wife, which can be divided into four small bowls.
The dishes for the evening were all ready, but now they were the dishes, chopsticks, tables, chairs, and benches that were not enough. Lin Qingxi only "changed" twenty bowls from Carpenter Feng. If the dishes were enough, the bowls for eating were not enough.
When the hen was stewing for an hour and a half, Zhou Mingbai came back. Zhang Lei drove him around, went to the military hospital and went to Ping'an Village to deliver the letter. After delivering the letter, the two went back to the army directly. Zhang Lei returned the car and went to training, and Zhou Mingbai went home.
"You are back? The letters have been delivered, right?" Lin Qingxi looked at Zhou Mingming, who was a little tired, and felt a little distressed, but there was no way. He was the only one who was suitable for delivering letters.
"Well, I'm here. Dean Qian is going to the imperial capital to attend an academic conference in the afternoon. Everyone else said he would come here tonight," Zhou Mingbai said in a deep voice. If he didn't go, he wouldn't know that his Xibao was so amazing! He would definitely earn it by himself to marry Xibao.
"Then how many people are there here for dinner?" Lin Qingxi looked up at Zhou Ming. She had not prepared the staple food yet and said, "Sweet potato rice is eaten at the staple food? There are only sweet potatoes and rice at home. When we go back this time, you will have to come back for two or three months. It will be easy to break if you keep it for a long time. Leave some to eat in the car. Is the rest cooked enough?"
"After enough, I invited a few good brothers, and our teacher Xiang Yangbiao. There were less than two tables of people in total, so the others were not invited. When I came back, I would just bring some specialties from home to the cafeteria to treat everyone to a meal," Zhou Mingbai said with a smile on his face.
"Okay! Then let's set up two tables! Then you guys will sit at the same table, let Uncle Lin sit with you and your comrades, and the aunt will sit at the same table with the women and the children," Lin Qingxi also counted Zhou Mingming's comrades' family members, but she didn't know that they didn't have time to have a meal.
"Okay, then you may have to prepare the dishes that the two children like to eat," Zhou Mingyi believed in his own Xibao's skills. It's not that she didn't want to help, but that in the army, Lin Qingxi had to rely on herself to integrate into the circle of military wives.
"Okay, then let's make a steamed egg and shredded sweet potato?" Lin Qingxi said and got up to wash the sweet potatoes. After the mushroom and fungus chicken was stewed, she had to make the staple food.
"Okay," Zhou Mingbai nodded, and he followed into the kitchen and prepared to attack Lin Qingxi.
The two entered the kitchen one by one, and Zhou Guilin and Aunt Sun walked out of the room. It turned out that the two had woken up long ago. When they heard Zhou Mingbai and Lin Qingxi chatting in the yard, they were afraid of disturbing them and whispering, so they didn't go out. Now they waited for them to enter the kitchen before they came out.
"I understand, go out and sit! What can happen with one hand? Don't cause trouble for Xi girl," Aunt Sun said bluntly as soon as she entered the kitchen. She felt that what she was talking about was the truth.
"That's right, girl Xi, you don't have to do it. Just wash the sweet potatoes for me," Zhou Guilin followed Aunt Sun and agreed calmly. Lin Yizheng and Lin Qingxi seemed to Zhou Ming as unsociable as an outsider.
However, Zhou Mingdi knew that his parents felt sorry for him and were afraid that he would encounter wounds when doing things. Of course, this was just his self-comfort. In fact, they really disliked Zhou Mingdidi.
Zhou Guilin moved quickly. He took a wooden basin and a wooden barrel, then carried fifty kilograms of sweet potatoes on his back, and took Zhou Mingbai to the river to wash sweet potatoes.
Although there is water at home, I need water when I cook or wash at night. Zhou Ming realized that he was half a disabled person and could not do the hard work, so Zhou Guilin thought about going to the river to wash.
When the father and son returned home after washing the sweet potatoes, the chicken in the pot was stewed. Lin Qingxi put it out and put it in a wooden basin, and then started cooking. She cooked fourteen pounds of rice left at home, and added about twenty pounds of sweet potatoes and rice to simmer in the pot.
"Girl Xi, will there be too much staple food?" Looking at Lin Qingxi's big move, Aunt Sun felt a little reluctant and distressed, but she also knew that Lin Qingxi was making face for her son and she would not stop her.
"No, auntie, the training volume of soldiers is large and the appetite is also large. If you cook less and don't eat enough, it will be ugly at that time. I understand that there is no light on my face and it will be criticized and it will not be worth it." Lin Qingxi shook her head. She grew up here since she was a child, so she naturally knew more than Aunt Sun and the others.
"Okay, then I'll listen to you," Aunt Sun nodded, and did not say anything, but focused on burning the fire. Zhou Guilin was very pleased and moved by Lin Qingxi's consideration of his son in everything, so naturally he wouldn't say anything.
As for Zhou Mingming, he would not say anything even more. He knew that it would be fine if he didn't speak. Once he said something, he would be the one who was unlucky. Besides, he was so happy now.
The rice was cooked soon, and Lin Qingxi put it into a clean wooden barrel. She looked at her watch and it was already past five o'clock. The remaining dishes were all fast dishes, which were cooked without any effort. She thought that she would definitely pour water for them to drink when she got home, so she simply cleaned the pot and boiled half a pot of hot water.
"If there is no wine at home, if there is sugar, I still have some left in my suitcase. When the water boils, I will boil our two military water bottles, and then take two big soup bowls to serve the water. I will bring a few ginger candy. When someone comes, the aunt will be responsible for pouring sugar water for the person. Uncle Lin burns the fire for me. Understand brother, you go and greet people by yourself."
Lin Qingxi has a reason for this arrangement. Whether it is Village Chief Xie or Woodman Feng, Aunt Sun has seen him. Hui Hong and Qian Zhijie and Aunt Sun also know him in the hospital. It is most suitable for Zhou Mingbai's comrades to be entertained by him. Aunt Sun will not say that she looks down on others when pouring sugar water. After all, she is Zhou Mingbai's mother.
It would be fine if Lin Qingxi herself was entertaining her friends. After all, she didn't have a drink with Zhou Mingbai's wife and went to entertain his comrades, which seemed a bit inappropriate.
"Okay, I understand, I will treat them well," Aunt Sun responded with a smile. She couldn't let others talk about Xi's gossip, nor could people look down on her.
"Brother Understand, you go to my suitcase and bring the candy. There should be about a dozen milk candies. There are still half a pack of ginger candies left, so take them all!"
"Okay, I understand," Zhou Mingbai responded and said, "I went to the room with candy."
