Chapter 70: Birthday Dinner with 1 Vegetable and Soup

If Li Mingxia were to say, she thinks the best part of the stewed egg is the thick layer of minced meat under the egg. If there is very little minced meat, it will just have a meaty taste. It is delicious, but it always lacks a little bit of flavor. This time, Li Mingxia's ratio of minced meat to stewed eggs is almost one to one. One bite will definitely make you satisfied. White porridge, pickles, salted duck eggs, and braised meat are breakfast, and lunch is the highlight.

After finishing his meal, Li Mingxia began to prepare for the big meal at noon. While he was cutting the beef, Aunt Cheng came to the door with a basket of eggs and five kilograms of flour.

These things are definitely worth giving to family members and elders during festivals, not to mention just for a birthday.

"What are you doing! Your family is not well off, and you have three children. How can I feel at ease eating this thing you send to me? If you say this, don't blame me for being angry. Don't even think about coming in through this door." Zhang was very happy to see Aunt Cheng, but her face changed immediately when she saw that she brought something. She blocked the door and refused to let her in no matter what.

"Look, Sister Xia, go talk to your mother, how can she say that!" Aunt Cheng had a lot more money in her hands. She was a sentimental person who remembered other people's kindness. She wanted to give Zhang something presentable on her birthday today, but who would have thought that she would not be allowed in the door.

Li Mingxia knew what Zhang was thinking, so she followed suit and said, "Aunt, what kind of relationship do we have? Do we really need these things? If you really want to make my mother happy, bring your family to dinner later. It will be better for our two families to have a good time."

Zhang said so, and Li Mingxia also said so. Aunt Cheng had no choice but to take out twenty eggs and hand them to Zhang.

"This is not okay. There's nothing else to say. If we don't want this anymore, our relationship won't work anymore."

Zhang did not hesitate. She left the eggs and asked Aunt Cheng to bring her family over later. Then she went back to the kitchen to help Li Mingxia clean up the food.

Li Mingxia plans to cook ten dishes and a soup at noon.

They are chicken stewed with mushrooms. The mushrooms are bought from the dry goods store in the town, and they cost fifty cents per pound. However, the quality is really good. A pound of dried mushrooms is a pleasing portion after being soaked. The chicken stewed with these mushrooms is guaranteed to be as delicious as the meat and mushrooms!

The second dish was beef stewed with tomatoes. Zhang liked this dish very much, especially the soup mixed with rice, so this time Li Mingxia deliberately left some extra soup when making it.

The third dish is Four-Happiness Meatballs. Since we eat it at home, the meat used is particularly solid. There is no starch at all, just minced pork.

The fourth dish is a cold dish. The cucumber is cut into shreds and added with thin vermicelli, some chili oil, sesame oil, salt and other seasonings.

The fifth dish is also braised beef in soy sauce, served cold and best eaten with wine.

The sixth dish was a steamed fish. Although it was not as delicious as the previous dishes, it definitely tasted good.

The seventh dish is a stir-fried vegetable with a little bit of oil, some salt and flavor enhancer. The emerald green color makes people feel very relieved at first glance.

The eighth dish was braised pork, which was ordered by Zhang herself. She loved the flavor, especially the fatty meat. It was fatty but not greasy and went very well with rice.

The ninth dish was also fried eggs with chili peppers, and the tenth dish was candied sweet potato.

The soup was still fish soup, which everyone liked. Because steamed buns were prepared as the staple food, Li Mingxia also served a large bowl of mixed fish sauce and placed it on the table. Whoever wanted to eat it with steamed buns could have some. If you didn’t like steamed buns, you could also choose white rice.

A dozen more eggs were boiled and placed on the table. After everything was ready, Aunt Cheng still didn't come, so Li Mingxia sent a few children to call people.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Li Mingxia took out the gift he had given to Zhang.

"Happy birthday, mother." Li Mingxia placed two brocade boxes, one large and one small, on the kang in Zhang's room.

Zhang looked at the exquisite brocade box and said, "Why are you spending money recklessly again? What is this? This, this... is it made of gold?"

Zhang opened the brocade box containing the hairpin. Her first reaction was that it was gold-plated. She felt something was wrong when she picked it up. The feel of real gold plated on gold is different.

Seeing Li Mingxia nod, Zhang suddenly became anxious, "You spendthrift, you want to buy a gold hairpin for a family like us? Forget it, just buy it. You are grown up now, it's okay to buy one or two expensive things."

Zhang touched the red gold hairpin, and a flash of admiration flashed across her eyes. She pulled Li Mingxia over and put the hairpin on her head.

"Okay, my daughter will look good in anything she wears." If this hairpin was bought for Zhang herself, she would definitely feel distressed. But if it was bought as jewelry for Li Mingxia's dowry, Zhang would only be happy.

Li Mingxia took the golden hairpin, pulled out the copper hairpin on Zhang's bun, and pinned the golden hairpin neatly on Zhang's head.

"you……"

"Mom, it's so beautiful." Li Mingxia held Zhang's hand, his eyes full of smiles.

"Really, it's really, really beautiful. Mom, just wear it, okay?"

Zhang was about to refuse, but Li Mingxia shook her hand and said half coquettishly and half seriously, "Mom, the money we earn in a day is enough to buy this hairpin. I didn't have money before, so I could only watch my aunt and uncle buy this and that. You didn't have anything, but now I can make money, so I want to buy you more things, whatever looks good. Mom, just wear it, okay?"

Even a person with a heart of stone would be moved by these words, so when Zhang opened the second brocade box and saw the clothes inside, she didn't say anything more.

She changed into new clothes and put on the gold hairpin as Li Mingxia said. Li Mingxia also took the opportunity to put the gold earrings on her as well.

"Mom, you look so beautiful." Li Mingxia clapped his hands and said happily as he looked at Zhang, who looked brand new after dressing up.

Looking at her radiant self in the mirror, Zhang was a little dazed. She heard the movements of Aunt Cheng and their children outside the door. Just as she was about to go out to greet them, she thought of how "different" she was today and hesitated. However, before she could react, she was pulled out by Li Mingxia.

As soon as Aunt Cheng saw Zhang, she exclaimed, "Oh my God!"

"It's really beautiful. Your dress is so pretty. Did Sister Xia pick it out for you? Is this hairpin gold-plated? It's so shiny and looks expensive!"
