The time has entered June, the rainy season in central Yunnan has come, and the countryside has begun to enter the slack season. Qi Jingtao, who reappeared at his normal job, felt that life was so beautiful and work was so easy and comfortable.

During working hours, plan the best action route according to the distribution points of the business department, and after showing up in the information center, go to each business department to take a look and guide the operators to deepen their understanding and familiarity with the business software in the process of uninterrupted data entry. Chat with the operator, drink tea, smoke a cigarette. When I'm happy, I help those big sisters and little sisters record a few dozen original vouchers and show off their finger skills as a professional keyboard warrior. While winning a lot of admiration, there is also plenty of time to communicate with those department leaders who meet by chance to enhance the collaboration between departments.

All of this is the result of the final version of the system software provided by Lao Qi being put into use. The indispensable system development→ testing→ adjustment→ re-testing→ re-adjustment, which can make countless programmers go crazy, is gone, Qi Jingtao enjoys the fun of software development and the joy of software use, but he does not use the knife to re-depict the work he thinks is perfect, and even the infinite pain and suffering that can be changed beyond recognition.

When I returned to my nest after work, there was a tender beauty who served tea and cooked for herself. It's okay to accompany Su Min to go out to see the scenery and slippery streets, and realize the fun of reading at night with red sleeves and incense, and when the opportunity is right, you can steal incense and steal jade, and live a sweet and sweet life.

This period of time is the most relaxed and comfortable period since Qi Jingtao's work, which can be described as leisurely and happy, only envy mandarin ducks and not immortals.

Good times, time always flies quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it is the middle of June.

June 16 is the 75th birthday of Qi Jingtao's grandmother, and it happens to be a Sunday, and all the juniors will rush home to celebrate the grandmother's birthday.

Every year on my grandmother's birthday, it is a big gathering of relatives and friends at home. According to the habits of the Chinese people, every five and ten days are festivals that need special attention, and no matter which level of birth will be more grand.

Qi Jingtao went home after work on the 14th to prepare for the birthday banquet with his parents, in fact, there is not much to do, the main problem of the Chinese gathering is nothing more than a "food", as long as the problem of "eating" is solved, there is not much of a problem, under normal circumstances, you can get a happy result.

After dinner, after sending the poor and unhuman rights senior Qi Lin to continue to work overtime to do the mock questions that were extra stuffed for her, Qi Jingtao came to the courtyard to discuss with her father about preparing for her grandmother's birthday banquet.

In mid-June, the rainy season had entered in central Yunnan, and the countryside was idle, and Qi Zhengming did not have to be busy going to the fields, but smoked shisha under the eaves of the yard. Qi Jingtao didn't know how to smoke hookah, so he lit a cigarette to accompany his father to enjoy his beautiful hookah time, smoked a few puffs, looked at his father who was leisurely swallowing clouds and spitting fog and said, "Dad, is it still prepared according to the eight-table banquet this year?"

"This year it happens to be a Sunday, everyone who should come will come, this year the staff will be very neat, let's prepare two more tables. Qi Zhengming took a sala and thought for a moment before he said unhurriedly to his son sitting beside him.

"Okay, let's prepare according to the ten tables. Dad, this year's wine and food will be handled by me, so there is no need to prepare additional food at home. Qi Jingtao, who had a few small sums in his hand, planned to organize his grandmother's birthday banquet by himself, and he began to fight for his father for the right to host it.

"What are you going to buy?" Qi Zhengming spat out the smoke and looked at his grown son in front of him with a smile, wanting to test his ability to organize a family banquet.

"In previous years, chicken, duck and fish were the main dishes, and a few home-cooked stews were accompanied by a few dried vegetables and cold dishes, should you adjust it this year?" Qi Jingtao thought about the style of rural family banquets and commonly used dishes, and wanted to introduce a few dishes from the city for relatives and friends to try.

"How do you want to adjust?" Qi Zhengming responded to his son quietly, wanting to see how he matched the dishes of the birthday banquet.

"Hehehe, there are no major changes, chicken, duck and fish are still the main dishes. It's just that I want to use the old hemp duck that has been raised in Guanyin Pond for more than three years. ”

"Well, the old Chai family in Guanyintang contracted the free-range ducks in the pond, and those old hemp ducks that are more than three years old are made into clear soup, boiled, braised in yellow, and braised are good. However, his old ducks are very expensive. Qi Zhengming was a little reluctant.

"It's not much more expensive, a pound is three pieces more expensive than ordinary ducks, the old duck tastes good and healthy, and it should be more expensive than the duck. The chicken is free-range chicken in the Xiaoxinzhai tea garden, which is suitable for all ages to make medicinal steam pot chicken, and it is also very good to make white chopped chicken or soy sauce chicken. Fish with osmanthus and eel, steamed osmanthus is simple, the taste is unique, the eel should be eaten in advance of the Dragon Boat Festival to eat a section of roasted eel and stir-fry, and then with eel rice noodles. Meat with mutton and beef, mutton consommé or braised lamb, beef mush and cold slices, two meals can be used in different ways. Qi Jingtao thought about the dishes that were convenient to make at home, and casually said the dishes he thought were suitable, but he didn't consider the price.

"That's all? Eels don't have to go to the street to buy those farmed ones, I have already agreed with the Yuan Hong family who catches and sells eels, and he will send the wild eels he caught himself, and that is a good thing. Qi Zhengming said something slowly and continued to smoke hookah.

Qi Jingtao recalled the ingredients that might be available in the farmers' market in the city, and said to his father with a smile: "Hey, the wild eels caught by Yuan Hong's family are of course the best, and they have become more and more rare to eat over the years." Dad, during this time, the mushrooms have been on the market, chicken fir mushrooms, dry mushrooms, and tender green head mushrooms can make a few good dishes, plus a few seafood, salted shrimp, spicy crab, charcoal-grilled scallops, and there are fresh ingredients in the farmers' market. Make a fruit platter, there are almost a dozen dishes, and the delicacies of the mountains and seas are complete. ”

"Your mother can't make those seafood, what should you do if you get it back?" Qi Zhengming warned his son not to take it for granted.

"It's okay, I'll do it. Qi Jingtao confidently packed the tickets for his father, he saw Su Min make these dishes, and he wrote down the process. He didn't think it was difficult, anyway, it was a family banquet, so he could try it. Besides, there will be a master of cushioning back when the time comes, don't be afraid.

"Will you do it? Well, I'll let you try it, and we'll try it too. Just add a few home-cooked stews and dried vegetables with wine, and you don't have to buy this from outside. Qi Zhengming was a little surprised that his son could cook, but he didn't say anything, just mentioned something to add.

"Okay. Oh, Dad, I'll go back to the city later, and I'll bring back some of the dishes tomorrow. I, I'll be back on the morning of the 16th. Qi Jingtao said to his father with a twist.

"What do you have to come back on the 16th, can't you stay at home tomorrow when you come back from delivering food? Qi Zhengming looked at his son puzzled, and couldn't help but blame his son in his tone.

"Dad, that's the case, I'm going to bring someone back for dinner, it's the first time people come to my house, I don't know the way, it's more convenient to come together on the morning of the 16th. Qi Jingtao hurriedly explained his reasons to his father.

"Hahaha...... Ahem...... Hahaha, you kid will finally bring someone home, hahaha...... Go, go, we are at home, you don't have to worry about it. Qi Zhengming, who was smoking a hookah, was choked by the surprise of the sudden arrival, and he didn't even smoke the hookah, so he leaned the hookah against the wall, laughed and stood up, urging his son to hurry back to the city.

Qi Jingtao put more learning tasks on the sad and poor Qi Lin, and said goodbye to his grandmother and mother who were smiling when he heard that he was going to take someone home, and then went out on a motorcycle.
