After marrying an officer, she was spoiled by the group

Chapter 91: A dinner for the rising beam

Sister Qin was wondering why Fu Ling wasn't there today, and asked Xiang Yi in confusion: "Sister Xiang, why didn't Sister Ling go out with us today? Are you feeling unwell?"

"No, sister-in-law, she is fine. She has something to do today." It was a white lie. It would be bad to tell people that she did not come home all night and went to the back mountain. That would scare Sister-in-law Qin to death.

"I'm glad she's okay. Now that Xiao Lu is on a mission and hasn't returned, we're the only ones who can take care of her. If something really happened, please don't hide it from me."

"Sister-in-law, don't worry! If anything happens, I'll let you know as soon as possible."

The two of them were going to the county today. Fu Ling was not at home, so they had to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy meat. They got up early in the morning and went to find Mrs. Qin.

The beam raising ceremony of the factory building in the fishing village was held today, and I promised to treat everyone to a meal. So, I dragged Mrs. Qin to the county to buy vegetables early in the morning.

There were not many people at the meat stall at the moment. In order to buy meat, Xiangyi even went to a ticket seller to exchange ten kilograms of meat tickets. No tickets were needed for the shaved bones, so Xiangyi bought the remaining four ribs.

Mrs. Qin felt very sad when she saw this. The bones that were shaved cleaner than the face still cost two cents each.

There was absolutely nothing to eat: "Xiang girl, these bones are so clean, what can you do with so many of them?"

She chuckled and replied, "Sister-in-law, stew the pork ribs with radish. They are very fragrant. The pork ribs contain bone marrow, which is delicious and nutritious."

For Mrs. Qin, it would be more practical to go to the seafood market and buy a few pounds of shrimps for two cents each.

Not only that, Xiangyi also bought six blocks of tofu and five pounds of bean sprouts.

Seeing her buying so many ingredients, Mrs. Qin couldn't help but become curious: "Sister! Why did you buy so much? What's going on today?"

I didn't tell her about building a factory in the fishing village, so naturally I didn't know about the dinner party. It's not that I don't trust Mrs. Qin, but at this time, it's better to have less trouble than more.

Keeping silent is the best protection, so he made up an excuse: "Sister-in-law, I'm going to visit an elder today, and these are the gifts I brought."

Mrs. Qin suddenly realized what was going on and said nothing more. Since there were no chickens for sale in the supply and marketing cooperative, she bought twenty eggs, five pounds of egg cakes, and two pounds of fruit candy.

The meat was placed at the bottom of the basket, the tofu and eggs were placed on top, and a piece of cloth was used to cover the basket.

Mrs. Qin didn't come here just to accompany her, she also came to buy soy sauce and sugar.

After buying things, I took a bus back to the family compound.

Although Fu Ling couldn't keep any fresh meat, he did leave behind two kilograms of bacon and a few sausages. As for seafood, it was a fishing village and there was no shortage of seafood.

Considering that Hu Shan's family was not wealthy and he didn't want to take advantage of others, he even prepared seasonings.

By the time we rode our bikes to the fishing village, it was already half past nine.

Lin Huilan was about to go out to do the laundry when she saw Xiangyi. She smiled brightly and said, "Sister, you're here."

"Sister-in-law! We're having dinner today, so I need to borrow your kitchen."

"Oh no! What's the big deal? Hu Shan told us last night that he wanted me to help the girl. If there's anything you need from me, just let me know."

"Then I won't be polite." Xiangyi didn't refuse. It was not easy for her to prepare meals for so many people alone.

Lin Huilan took Xiangyi home and was no longer in a hurry to do the laundry.

Seeing her daughter-in-law coming back, Aunt Hu was puzzled at first, but when she saw Xiang Yi following closely behind her, she immediately smiled: "Miss Ling is here."

"Auntie Hu."

"Ashan told us that you can use the kitchen. Huilan, you can help Ling girl. I'll do the laundry."

"Okay, mother!"

Xiangyi unloaded the things from the car, and Lin Huilan helped carry them to the kitchen.

At this time, the two children also came out of the house and politely called out to Xiangyi when they saw her.

He took out some fruit candies from his pocket and stuffed them into their hands.

The two of them were already familiar with Xiang Yi, so they didn't refuse: "Thank you, Sister Yi."

"Thank you, Sister Yi."

Put the candy in my pocket and help carry things.

When they got to the kitchen, Xiangyi took out the things one by one, which shocked everyone...

"This... girl... why do you buy so much meat?" You need meat tickets, otherwise you can't buy it even if you have money.

"I'm going to treat you all. Let's have a good meal. We've all been working hard for half a month."

If they were a little more sneaky, they would not have finished the work ahead of schedule. Here, I truly felt the hard work and simplicity of the vast majority of farmers.

What's more important is that in the future she will collect seafood and dried goods and will often interact with villagers.

A good impression will undoubtedly make it easier for her to act. She needs to establish a glorious image of a good boss so that her employees will work hard and seriously.

Ahem! This is a metaphor, the fishermen are just her suppliers...

"This... but this is too much, sister. You can take some back. You won't need so much. You can just add some meat to the dishes to taste the fishy smell. People in the countryside don't care about those things." Lin Huilan was completely considering Xiangyi. This much meat must be more than ten pounds. No one would bring such a amount of meat to the guests even for a wedding.

Not only that, we also saw bacon and sausages.

Wow! This girl was so generous that she was shocked.

"It's okay, sister-in-law. Even though it looks like a lot, one person can't eat many pieces of meat."

There are more than 30 workers and their family members, so they really can't get much.

Without further ado, cut all the meat into slices according to Xiangyi's request.

The vegetables were picked by Aunt Hu after she came back from washing clothes, and Hu Shan, who went out to sea, also came back around ten o'clock.

Xiangyi took all the catch today, most of which were shrimps, large yellow croaker, small yellow croaker, cuttlefish, etc.

We selected six relatively large yellow croakers for steaming. As for the small yellow croakers, there were still quite a few, so we picked out three large portions for pan-fried small yellow croakers.

After the dishes were prepared, Xiangyi took over the cooking. She knew that people at that time liked to eat fattier meat, so she chose the same when buying meat.

The role of meat fat is also reflected at this time, and the oil fried out is used for cooking.

It was the first time for them to see Xiang Yi cooking. At first they thought they needed her help in cooking, but it turned out that she was the one cooking and Lin Huilan could only help light the fire.

The aroma of the food wafted from far away, making the group of men who were working there drool with greed.

No way! I'm really confused! It's the smell of meat.

There were too many people and no rice was made. Xiangyi brought 30 kilograms of white flour and made it all into white and plump white flour buns.

Xiangyi doesn't know how to make it, so Hu Shan kneads the dough, and the whole family works together to make it.

There are nearly two hundred of them. If there weren't so many people, it would be difficult to deal with them.

It took an hour just to steam these buns.

Dinner was served at 12 o'clock sharp. Hu Shan called the workers over. Not only that, he also asked them to go to the village chief's house.

The village chief came over to eat with a smile on his face, and was surprised when he saw the food on the table.

There were three tables in the small yard, and each table had ten dishes.

"Village chief, you are finally here. Everyone is waiting for you." Xiangyi stepped forward to greet him.

The village chief thought this little girl was too sensible. He hadn't helped much, but she invited him over. Then he smiled and said, "Sorry, I was delayed for a moment."

"Since the village chief is here, let's have a feast. Today is a good day for raising the beam. Thank you all for your hard work over the past two weeks."

The host treated them to a meal and thanked them, which made these men feel very warm in their hearts. They felt respected for the first time.

Looking at this table full of delicious dishes, there are almost no vegetarian dishes, and every dish contains meat.

Hu Shan brought the white flour buns to the table and said to them, "There are plenty of buns, as much as you can eat. Everyone, eat to your heart's content."

Seeing the white flour buns, everyone swallowed their saliva. They ate coarse grains every day at home, and could only eat fine grains during the Chinese New Year and other festivals.
