Now that everyone else had left, I was the only one guarding the mushroom house. However, I couldn't rest either. I had to prepare dinner first. I had Buddha Jumps Over The Wall Soup and Farewell My Concubine for lunch. In the evening, I had the New Dragon Emperor's Banquet and Glory, Wealth, and Riches. Now, I had to make up for the other dishes.
The guests had ordered seafood, followed by vegetarian dishes and other meat dishes. The amount of food for the evening's Glory, Wealth and Riches and New Dragon Emperor Banquet was not very large, so the meat dishes that followed had to be hard dishes. Otherwise, they would not be able to feed these hungry guests.
For vegetarian dishes, I'll order three dishes: broccoli with garlic, shredded potatoes with vinegar sauce, and scrambled eggs with tomatoes. If it's meat dishes, let's order six. Give some to the kitchen helper. We might only get nine dishes in the end, so we ordered six meat dishes: Sauerkraut with white pork, garlic stir-fried pork, Kung Pao Chicken, braised pork, stewed beef brisket with tomatoes, and moo shu pork.
These dishes were all home-cooked dishes. He prepared these side dishes first and prepared them directly before dinner time. It was already two o'clock now, and there was not much time left before dinner. He didn't want to mess up.
Busy and orderly, life was just daily necessities. In a busy life, there was not much left other than food, clothing, housing, and transportation. Love, kinship, friendship, do you have them?"Yes! Do you really have it? Perhaps all people have is themselves and everything that loves them. Everything that you love is theirs."
When I returned to the courtyard, I was about to chop some firewood when I saw Chen Chichi and the others carrying a few baskets full of corn. They piled the corn into a corner of the courtyard and immediately went out to work again. Looking at their enthusiasm, I felt that they would not eat less tonight.
After that, Mr. He and the others came back. When they saw the corn in the corner, they washed the fruits and put them on the fruit plate before going out to fish. They said that they would add fish soup for them at night.
When Yueyue and the others came back for the second time, they ate the fruit plate prepared by Teacher He and the others under my reminder. Then, they went up the mountain to pull out the radishes again.
When Yueyue and the other young people came back with the radishes, I also started to cook dinner. When I made two more dishes, Teacher He and the others came back. This time, they transferred a few big fish. Only Teacher Huang's luck class was used up earlier and he didn't catch any fish.
After they returned, the first thing they did was to do business with the director and settle accounts. The corn was 2 yuan each, and the radish was also 2 yuan each. This was the discounted price that Teacher Huang and the others had obtained after bargaining for ten minutes. Peng Peng and the others had shipped back a total of 258 corns and 169 radishes from outside. They sold them for a total of 854 yuan. Mr. He and the others also sold their fish. Other than one fish to eat, the rest of the fish were 10 catties in total. Each catty was sold for 10 yuan, so the total was 954 yuan. The directors also took the opportunity to ask me to make them a pickled fish and a boiled fish. They gave us a total of 1,000 yuan. Although it wasn't the same as last time, the money was enough for us to eat for a while, provided that there weren't any more guests like this time.
When everything calmed down and I finished cooking, it was already 7:30 in the afternoon. At this time, the sun was setting in the west, and smoke was rising from the chimneys of every household in the village.
There were 11 of us now. At this time, the lights in the pavilion had already been lit. After we sat down, Teacher He raised his teacup as usual to thank the new guests. Then, we started eating.
"This New Dragon Emperor's Night Banquet is really good. The lobsters we bought this time are really good. Of course, Xiaoming's craftsmanship is also good. Liu Feiren said first.
"Yes, these seafood were bought for Little Ming to raise. If we were here, they might have gone bad before you arrived. Teacher Huang also said.
"Yes, the lobster meat is really fresh and juicy."Little Ming's cooking skills are really good," Big Brother Cheng Long also said.
"Thank you, thank you. Everyone, don't flatter me. Hurry up and eat." I saw that the others also had the intention to praise me, so I quickly changed the topic. In fact, there was a lot of soup in this dish, so it wouldn't get cold easily. However, the New Dragon Emperor's Night Banquet was almost finished in one bite, so I could only change the topic to this dish. However, this was beyond my expectations and attracted another round of praise.
"This wealth is not bad. This prawn is still relatively fresh.”Big Brother Cheng Long said.
In fact, this is no longer the traditional luxury. The traditional dishes usually have 6 abalones and 8 prawns, but if this is the case, people here will not be able to eat them, so I improved it: 10 small abalones and prawns. If it was prawns, he would directly remove the heads so that the jar could fit.
"Yes, this abalone is a little small, but it tastes good.”Wang Langzi said.
"There's nothing we can do about it. After all, the clay pot is only that big. If the abalone is big, it won't be enough for each person. Even Little Ming sacrificed himself to let us eat it. Teacher Huang said.
"It's okay, Teacher Huang. I'll cook after I want to eat. Everyone, eat well.”I saw that everyone put down their chopsticks because of Teacher Huang's words. Those who didn't put down their chopsticks also stopped picking up food.
"That's right! Teacher Huang is so bad that I'm so scared that I don't dare to eat anymore!" Chen Chichi was the first to recover.
"Alright, everyone, let's eat. Did this dish scare you? Little Ming is a chef. What kind of dishes have he not seen and eaten? Why are you still worrying about him?”Teacher He added.
As Teacher He, Teacher Huang, and Chen Chichi joked around, the meal continued. The following dishes couldn't be compared to the two main dishes, but it was not a problem as a side dish. The atmosphere was very good as everyone ate and chatted.
Eating and drinking to their heart's content was just an adjective. This season, no alcohol was allowed in the mushroom house. Otherwise, all the previous efforts would be in vain. This meant that the people in the mushroom house had eaten and drunk to their heart's content. No one wanted to move. They were all lying on the rattan chairs to fatten up.
The scene changed. The kitchen assistant had already gone to help clean up and wash the dishes. We returned to the living room of the mushroom house. It was already dark and it was 8:30 pm. Although the village was not completely silent at this time, it was still very quiet.
"Didn't you say that there are very delicious crayfish? Why didn't you make it?" While they were chatting, Yue Yue suddenly raised a question.
"You still have the face to mention crayfish!" "Aren't these four dishes enough?" Ms. Huang retorted.”
"Sigh, Teacher Huang, this is your fault.”Chen Chichi quickly interrupted Teacher Huang, who was about to fly into a rage." The director asked us to order those four dishes, but this crayfish is a benefit of your mushroom house. We're also guests, so why can't we eat it?”Chen Chichi had never given in to eating.
"Brother Chichi, the rules of our mushroom house have changed. Crayfish are no longer something you can eat just because you want to.”Peng Peng said.
"Changed? Why changed? Did you change it because we came?" Chen Chichi was very dissatisfied.
