Chapter 43 Preparing Lunch
Since they were preparing to cook a meal for Manager Zheng and the others, Su Tang only went to the main room to take a look at Young Master Qian, and saw that he was chatting with Old Man Su.
"I'll make lunch for Master Zheng and the others at noon today. Master Qian, please take a seat first. I'll go to the kitchen to prepare it."
"You can also cook?" Master Qian raised his lips slightly when he heard Su Tang was going to prepare dinner. "I wonder if Qian will be lucky enough to have a meal at the Su family."
"No problem, just one more pair of chopsticks." Su Tang waved her hand and said with a smile.
"Well, Madam Su, there are the two of us." Caiyuan and Guangjin have followed Young Master Qian since they were young, and the two of them are not at all restrained when they are outside.
They pointed at each other, then looked at Su Tang and smiled, "We can pay for our meal."
"Sure, you can pay for Master Qian's share then." Su Tang joked.
"This..." Caiyuan and Guangjin glanced at their young master. Although Young Master Qian still had a smile on his face, they both knew that their young master was angry.
"Hehe, I was just kidding you. Okay, I'll go prepare the meal."
She had already made a lot of money from Young Master Qian, so how could she possibly offend this God of Wealth over a meal?
"Let Daya call your sister-in-law back, and you can do it together." Old Man Su said to Su Tang.
It would take a while to pick and wash the food for so many people, so it would be easier for Su Tang if more people helped.
"Oh, I see." Su Tang had already left the main house, and her voice came from the yard.
Su Tang no longer avoids cooking for her family these days. She has moved some seasonings from the space into clay jars at home.
She said she bought it when she went to the capital city before, and the Su family didn't think much about it.
"Daya, go call your sister-in-law back, and tell your father and the others to go home for lunch."
On weekdays, the Su family only eats two meals a day.
Since Su Tang made lunch today, it is impossible for her not to let her family eat it.
"Okay." Daya's personality became much more cheerful than before. After responding to Su Tang, she walked towards the fields in the village.
"I'll go help pick the vegetables." When Zhang heard that Su Tang was going to cook for so many people, she also came out of her room.
Erniu hugged Zhang's legs and called out sweetly when he saw Su Tang, "Aunt."
"Well, auntie will make you something delicious later." Su Tang walked to Erniu with a smile and gently scratched his nose.
Then he said to Zhang: "No need, Second Sister-in-law, just take care of Erniu, the dishes are easy to prepare."
Su Tang didn't plan to do too many fancy things, just make two big pots of dishes and simmer a pot of rice.
"I'll help." Qi Lingheng, who had been silent but always beside Su Tang, rolled up his sleeves and said.
"Okay." In Su Tang's concept, there is no such thing as a gentleman staying away from the kitchen.
Qi Lingheng volunteered to help with cooking, and Su Tang did not refuse.
"Then wash four or five cabbages."
With so many people eating, we can’t just eat meat, so Su Tang plans to stew some pork and cabbage.
Oh, it would be better if there were vermicelli.
It’s a pity that there are no sweet potatoes and potatoes here, otherwise Su Tang would have planned to make some vermicelli herself.
Although there was a vegetable garden in her space, it was full of seasonal vegetables grown by military wives. Although potatoes had a high yield in modern times, they were not planted in the vegetable garden in the military compound.
Maybe in the future when the cafeteria space is accessible, Su Tang will be able to find some potatoes and sweet potatoes there.
I found the pork that had not been eaten yet. The pork had been smoked with Su sugar and was hanging on the kitchen stove to dry.
After washing it carefully, Su Tang put the pork on the chopping board and cut it into small cubes.
For pork stewed with cabbage, she planned to cook the pork into red sauce first and then stew the cabbage, so that the taste would be stronger than that of boiled pork slices.
People who do hard work still prefer to eat stronger food to appreciate the flavor.
Qi Lingheng quickly washed the cabbage and put it in a basin and brought it over. "Can I cut the cabbage into slices?"
"Okay, but wait a minute, let me finish cutting these pieces of meat." The Su family only had one kitchen knife, and Su Tang couldn't take out the dagger in the space to use it at this moment.
"Let me cut the meat." Qi Lingheng walked up to Su Tang and said.
"Well, then, cut it into small pieces like this." Su Tang had already cut out some, and Qi Lingheng could just follow her instructions for the rest.
"Cut the cabbage into small cubes later." Su Tang wiped the water off her hands, walked to the rice jar, and calculated how much rice she needed to cook for several people.
"Yeah." Qi Lingheng responded.
"Oh, I'm back." Sun must have run back, her voice had already come in before she entered the kitchen.
"Why are you cooking at noon?" Daya just called her back to help make lunch.
Sun was still curious as to why they suddenly had to cook at noon.
Daya couldn't explain it clearly, so Sun could only come back and ask herself.
"Master Zheng and his team have finished their work today. I will cook a meal for them to try."
"Then you don't have to cook, right? Haven't you already paid me?"
In the past, if someone in the village wanted to build a house or something, they would ask villagers to help, and most of them would give them some copper coins and a meal or two.
But the money given was not much and they were all from the same village.
The cost of these craftsmen from the city hired by Su Tang was not low, so Su Tang said at the beginning that meals would not be provided.
"Their craftsmanship is pretty good. When we build a new house in the future, I plan to let them do it..."
Before Su Tang finished her words, Sun, who had already entered the kitchen, whispered, "Tangtang, you really want to build a new house."
Su Tang spent money to renovate the house for the Su family and made some furniture for each small home. Sun was already very happy.
Although their house is made of adobe, it is one of the few good houses in the village.
Su Tang had mentioned before that she wanted to build a new house for her family. She thought Su Tang was just joking, but seeing Su Tang mention it again, it seemed that she really wanted to build it, otherwise why would she invite those craftsmen to dinner.
"Yes, sister-in-law, don't you want to live in that kind of sturdy and beautiful brick house?" Su Tang put several bowls of rice in the pot.
"Oh, stop talking. Let me prepare these for several people." Seeing that Su Tang was about to scoop water from the water tank again, Sun hurriedly took over the work in Su Tang's hands.
"There are seven of them, Master Zheng. They should all be big eaters. Make more."
"I do want to, but building a brick house is said to be very expensive. I can only think about it in this lifetime. In our family, only dad earns more. Your elder brother and I work from the land and can hardly save much money every year..."
What Sun said was true. In that era, grain production was extremely low. Farmers worked hard all year, weeding and killing insects, but after paying the public grain tax, not much of the grain they harvested was left.
They also have to save enough seeds. Every year, they are reluctant to eat the new rice themselves, but will take it to the grain store in the city to sell it and exchange it for some old rice or brown rice.
At the end of the year, I can hardly make any money.
The Su family is lucky to have Old Man Su, who can save some money by treating patients.
