Chen Zhaozhao frowned slightly when he heard the shouting.
After answering, he walked out of the kitchen with an explanation. When he saw the woman outside the courtyard door, he walked over and asked, "Is there something wrong with Second Sister-in-law Zhao?"
"Zhaozhao~" The woman outside the door was Zhao Erkuan's daughter-in-law. She looked at Chen Zhaozhao and said with a smile: "I'm here to ask you to have a wedding banquet. I heard that Comrade Yu is also here, so you can go together~"
"My parents have already gone, so we won't go." Chen Zhaozhao politely refused.
"That's okay." Sister-in-law Zhao said, "Wouldn't the whole family go to any restaurant in the village to have a drink?"
"We won't give you any more chopsticks to help you save some money." Chen Zhaozhao refused with a smile.
"You have a good intention, but there is no such thing as saving. Let's call Comrade Yu to go with us later~" Sister-in-law Zhao insisted.
Chen Zhaozhao neither refused nor agreed.
She looked at Sister-in-law Zhao and fell into thought.
Sister-in-law Zhao is a frugal and stingy person. There are people in the village holding weddings these days, and most of the time when they go to have a drink, the whole family goes out.
This is normal and can only be accepted, but if one less person goes there, even if they don't say it on the surface, the people hosting the banquet will be happy in their hearts.
After all, life is hard and food is scarce. Although people who go to have a drink will give gifts, basically rice or eggs.
But there are too many people in the family, and the host always has to fill in the room.
Nowadays, we are in an era where one mouthful of rice is eager to be divided into three mouthfuls. If there is one less person to go to have a drink, Zhao Ersao's character is eager to clap her hands and applaud. She even refused, so why would she insist on shouting.
If you say it's out of politeness, that's pretty much it.
Her excessive persistence made her feel weird.
Sister-in-law Zhao felt a little guilty when she saw her, "Remember to come~ I'm still busy, so I'll leave first."
After saying that, she left in a hurry.
Chen Zhaozhao stared at her back, squinted in thought, and understood.
Return to the kitchen.
Chen Zhaozhao walked in and stared at Yu Jinggui's back. He had a straight and well-proportioned figure. The same green military uniform on him had a different flavor, which was particularly attractive.
The appearance condition is so superior, no wonder it has always been remembered.
Chen Zhaozhao stood next to him and said, "It's Sister-in-law Zhao who asked us to go have a wedding banquet. But judging from her attitude, she mainly wanted to ask you to go."
"Call me?" Yu Jinggui frowned, his hands kept moving and his movements were neat. In such a short time, he was able to roll out the skin as if it were pressed out by a machine.
Chen Zhaozhao secretly sighed, the boss is indeed a boss.
I remember when she was learning how to roll dough. Alas, I couldn’t bear to look back. It took more than a week to reach the level he is now.
"Second Sister-in-law Zhao, I don't want to say bad things about her behind her back. She is really stingy. I rejected her twice and she still persisted, which is very problematic."
Yu Jinggui nodded.
Chen Zhaozhao continued: "Weren't you deceived? I think her target is you, do you want to go and have a look?"
Yu Jinggui thought for a moment and said, "Well, let's go and have a look."
"Then let's hurry up and eat some dumplings before we go over."
Yu Jinggui smiled, because the discomfort of being targeted immediately disappeared.
The two of them speeded up, and after half the time, Chen Zhaozhao started cooking.
The fragrance filled the kitchen. It was only eleven o'clock, and Yu Jinggui felt hungry just smelling the fragrance.
"It smells so good~" Chen Xiaoni stared at the steaming pot with eyes shining.
"It'll be ready soon, just eat it when it's ready~" Chen Zhaozhao gave her a gentle smile.
"Okay." Chen Xiaoni nodded happily.
The dumplings were cooked quickly and Chen Zhaozhao put them in vegetable bowls.
The sound of Chen Ermei and others coming back was also heard outside.
"Wow~ It smells so good~ Zhaozhao, what delicious food did you make today?" Chen Simei rushed into the kitchen from outside excitedly.
Seeing Yu Jinggui there, still busy, he was stunned for a moment.
She didn't expect that Yu Jinggui would actually help in the kitchen. He was very quiet when he came in. They all thought that Yu Jinggui took Xiaoni out to play.
They chose this time to come back because Chen Zhaozhao was cooking and was not with Comrade Yu, so they came to help with the cooking.
She has never seen a man working in the kitchen.
Anyway, she didn’t know about other places, but she had never heard of any man doing housework in Lishan Village.
She has never seen anyone who cooks so well. She feels that Comrade Yu is really good and a perfect match for Zhao Zhao.
Except for Comrade Yu, no man is worthy of their family Zhaozhao.
She immediately hoped that Chen Zhaozhao could be with Yu Jinggui.
"Comrade Yu, you are here too," Chen Simei greeted, her outgoing emotions much calmer.
Yu Jinggui smiled and nodded at her.
"Fourth Aunt~" Chen Xiaoni, who was quietly tasting dumplings, said cheerfully, "The dumplings made by mom and dad are delicious. Come and eat them."
"Wow! These are dumplings! I finally saw real dumplings." Chen Simei looked at the dumplings in the bowl with great wonder.
I had read in a book before that a type of pasta eaten by northerners was called dumplings. Then a few days ago, Chen Zhaozhao bought flour. When she asked how to make it, Chen Zhaozhao said to make dumplings.
She had been looking forward to it and finally got to eat dumplings.
"Here, try one." Chen Zhaozhao took out all the dumplings in the pot, picked one up with chopsticks and brought it to Chen Simei's mouth.
Chen Simei glanced at Yu Jinggui sheepishly, blew, "Ouch", took a bite of the dumpling, chewed it, her eyes widened as she chewed, and she nodded and gave Chen Zhaozhao a thumbs up.
"So thick, so thick~"
"Let's eat these first for lunch. Comrade Yu doesn't need to make the dumplings. I'll make the rest, wash my hands and eat the dumplings."
"Okay." Yu Jinggui responded and went to wash his hands.
Chen Zhaozhao covered the dumplings and dumpling wrappers with a clean wet cloth to prevent the water from evaporating and becoming dry and hard.
At this time, Chen Ermei and Chen Sanmei went to put the hoes over, and were stunned for a moment when they saw Yu Jinggui there.
"Second sister and third sister, the dumplings are ready and ready to eat." Chen Zhaozhao greeted them, "You take the dumplings out first, and I'll fry them for dipping."
"Okay." The sisters responded and took the dumplings out. Yu Jinggui washed his hands and took Xiaoni out of the kitchen with the dumplings.
Chen Zhaozhao beat the water used to cook the dumplings into two eggs, added some chopped green onion and some salt, and cooked it directly into egg drop soup.
Food is in short supply in this era, so the water for cooking dumplings contains oil and flour and cannot be wasted. Add Lingquan water to it and it will become a super delicious soup.
One person filled a bowl of soup and called the sisters to bring the soup out.
She washed the pot again, added oil, put in some chopped chilies she had pickled, added green onions, poured some soy sauce, added some Lingquan water, and stirred it out of the pot.
Simple spicy dipping sauce is ready.
The spicy food hit his nose, and Chen Zhaozhao felt like his mouth was watering.
This is bound to be another very enjoyable meal.
Just after they finished eating, Chen Ermei and Chen Sanmei were collecting the bowls and chopsticks when another shout came from outside, "Zhao Zhao~"
This time it’s Liu Guihua.
She walked into the main room while shouting, "Wow...it smells so good. Have you eaten it yet?"
"I ate dumplings." Chen Simei said excitedly, "It's delicious, it's so delicious."
Liu Guihua gave her a funny look, greeted Yu Jinggui and asked, "Are you going to have a drink?"
"If you don't go, what's there to eat?" Chen Simei used to think that going to a banquet was the happiest thing in the world, but now she thinks, forget it, those dishes are simply unpalatable.
Liu Guihua looked at Chen Zhaozhao and said, "Er Kuan's wife said you promised to go. It's time to have dinner soon. I'll come over and call you. Do you want to go?"
