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 happy and beautiful, and his work was so easy and comfortable.

During working hours, after showing up in the information center, plan the best action route according to the distribution of the office location of the business department, take a look at each business department, and guide the business personnel to deepen their understanding and familiarity with the business software in the process of uninterrupted data entry. Chat with business people, 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 go to the fields to sit leisurely under the eaves of the yard and smoke hookah. Qi Jingtao didn't know how to smoke hookah, so he lit a cigarette to accompany his father to enjoy his good 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 be bought on the street, those are almost all artificially bred eels shipped from other places, and I have already agreed with Yuan Hongjia, who catches and sells eels, that he will send the wild eels he catches himself, and that is a good thing. Qi Zhengming had obviously started preparing for the banquet, and he knew what to expect, so he 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 Yuanhong's family are of course the best, and the pesticides and fertilizers have been used a lot over the years, and our local wild eels are becoming fewer and fewer, and they are becoming more and more difficult to eat." Dad, during this time, the mushrooms have been on the market, and chicken fir mushrooms, dry mushrooms, and tender green head mushrooms can make a few good dishes. Add a few seafood, saltwater prawns, spicy crabs, charcoal-grilled scallops, and you'll find fresh ingredients at the farmer's 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 cook 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, if you are really not sure about making seafood at that time, you don't have to worry, and there are masters of backing, don't be afraid.

"Will you do it? Well, I'll let you try it, and we'll try it too. Add a few more home-cooked stews and dry dishes that you don't have to buy from outside. Qi Zhengming was a little surprised that his son, who had never been in the kitchen, could cook seafood, but he didn't say anything, just mentioned something.
