Colorful years

No one would listen to her, and they continued to help her with the work.

After all the dishes were served, Minister Wu returned home from his office, and Madam Chang invited everyone to sit down and eat.

Everyone sat together, looking at the delicious food on the table, and praised Chang's cooking skills.

Mrs. Chang said with a smile, "Everyone, please eat quickly and try my cooking."

Everyone picked up their chopsticks and began to taste the food.

Minister Wu's driver, Xiao Zhang, was the first to pick up a piece of wild boar meat and put it in his mouth. After chewing a few times, his eyes immediately lit up, and he exclaimed repeatedly, "Delicious, delicious! This wild boar meat is so fragrant!"

The others also picked up wild boar meat and began to taste it, enjoying it immensely and praising it highly.

Chang was very happy to see that everyone enjoyed the dishes she had made, and urged everyone to eat more.

Minister Wu was very pleased to see everyone enjoying the meal. He raised his glass and wished everyone a happy new year and success in their work.

His colleagues then took turns toasting Minister Wu. Minister Wu, a man of immense capacity for alcohol, accepted every toast and downed his drink in one gulp. Everyone praised Minister Wu as a "wine connoisseur."

For a time, the dinner table was filled with laughter and joy, creating a lively atmosphere.

As everyone drank and got into a good mood, they started playing drinking games.

Chang watched from the side, feeling very pleased.

Everyone ate until 2 p.m. before saying goodbye and leaving.

Minister Wu and Madam Chang escorted everyone to the door and expressed their gratitude.

Everyone said that next time it's their turn to host, they will definitely treat everyone to an even better meal.

And so, the "rotating meal" at Minister Wu's house was over.

In the days that followed, colleagues took turns hosting meals for everyone.

The publicity department has a total of twelve people, nine of whom are married and have established their own careers, while only three are still single and unmarried.

However, among these nine married men, three are "half-households" where the wives work in the countryside! Congcong's mentor, Lao Man, is one of these "half-households"!

Normally, companies take good care of these "half-household" employees. Once the company's New Year's gathering on the 24th of the twelfth lunar month is over, they're allowed to go home quickly to happily reunite with their families and celebrate a lively Spring Festival!

It's obvious that "half-households" can't participate in this rotating dinner arrangement, so when you think about it carefully, only six households are truly capable of taking on the responsibility of hosting the "rotating dinner"!

On the fifth day of the first lunar month, as previously agreed, the "rotating meal" will be organized by Director Tian's family.

Speaking of Director Tian's wife, she's truly renowned for being virtuous and capable! She's an excellent cook, making your mouth water just thinking about her dishes. For this "rotating meal," in addition to the essential traditional three main dishes, she also specially prepared two unique and delicious dishes—braised pork in a clay pot and blood sausage with glutinous rice.

Doesn't the name alone make you eager to try it?

The "rotating meal" at Director Tian's house is quite unique, thanks to the joint efforts of the couple.

Early in the morning, a delicious aroma wafted from the kitchen, making one's mouth water.

Director Tian's wife was busy in the kitchen. She first marinated the pork in a secret sauce, then put it into a large pot to simmer slowly. The pork used in the stew is top-quality pork with a good balance of fat and lean meat. After a long simmering process, the meat becomes tender and melts in your mouth.

Blood sausage with glutinous rice is made by mixing fresh pig's blood with glutinous rice, stuffing it into sausage casings, steaming it, and then slicing it. This dish is brightly colored and has a rich texture, combining the soft and chewy texture of glutinous rice with the savory aroma of pig's blood.

As one delicious dish after another was served, Director Tian's living room gradually became lively.

Colleagues arrived one after another, dressed in new clothes, their faces beaming with joy. Everyone sat together, chatting and laughing, the atmosphere very harmonious.

"Wow, Director Tian's 'rotating meal' truly lives up to its reputation!" Old Wu exclaimed.

"Yes, this jar of meat and blood sausage with glutinous rice is absolutely delicious!" Old Shi exclaimed.

Director Tian and his wife were overjoyed to hear everyone's praise. They warmly welcomed each guest, constantly serving them food and pouring them drinks. Throughout the banquet, laughter and cheerful conversation filled the air, creating a lively and warm atmosphere.

After enjoying the "rotating meal" at Director Tian's home, the colleagues all expressed that the meal not only satisfied their appetites but also made them feel the warmth and happiness of home.

Besides these traditional delicacies, Director Tian's "Rotating Rice" also offers some unique snacks. For example, the golden and crispy fried spring rolls, filled with delicious fillings, leave a lingering fragrance in your mouth with every bite; and the soft and sweet sugar cakes, with a crispy outer layer and a soft interior, sweet but not cloying, leaving you wanting more.

These unique snacks not only enriched the variety of dishes at the "rotating meal" but also allowed guests to experience the warmth and care of Director Tian's family while enjoying the food. Everyone expressed that the snacks were not only delicious but also very distinctive, broadening their horizons.

During the banquet, Director Tian also arranged some fun entertainment activities. He invited several guests who were skilled performers to the stage to present wonderful programs for everyone. There were melodious songs, humorous skits, and beautiful dances.

These programs not only enlivened the atmosphere but also enhanced the friendships among everyone in a joyful atmosphere.

As time went by, the banquet gradually drew to a close. Colleagues rose to say goodbye, expressing their deepest gratitude!

However, just as the guests were preparing to leave, Director Tian suddenly announced an unexpected surprise.
