Chapter 1110: A Treat
The new family members all take the opportunity of entertaining at the bottom of the pot to show their faces in front of the neighbors, one can make a show, and the other is to let everyone get familiar with themselves by the way. The wine and food for the treat don't need to be rich, everyone just needs to do what they can, and no one will pick and choose.
To put it bluntly, everyone takes advantage of this to get together, talk and chat, and it is lively.
Zhou Yuanyuan has been in the Northern Military Region for four or five days, and there has been no movement. A few idle military wives began to ask Ma Hongyu, why hasn't Wen Ziqing's family invited someone to burn the bottom of the pot? What kind of people are these new Wen family brothers and sisters? Is it because they are stingy and unwilling to invite guests? Or is it that the poor family really can't afford to entertain?
Ma Hongyu was very embarrassed to be asked. I had the heart to say that she was not familiar with Zhou Yuanyuan, but she couldn't open her mouth. Who made the man of Ma Hongyu's family Wen Ziqing's partner?
Early this morning, Ma Hongyu saw Wen Ziqing go to work, she thought about it and decided to remind Zhou Yuanyuan.
"Sister-in-law Ma, do you have to invite everyone to eat at home? I don't know how to cook. Zhou Yuanyuan hesitated. It's no problem to let Zhou Yuanyuan treat her, but if she has to cook, it will be a tragedy, Zhou Yuanyuan believes that the food she makes is really not enough for many people to eat.
"Ah, that's it, sister-in-law forgot that you're not married, you don't know how to cook? Ma Hongyu's smile froze.
Before coming to Zhou Yuanyuan's house, Ma Hongyu also gave Wu Xiuhe and them a package ticket, saying that Wen Ziqing's family would definitely treat them. After all, judging from the way he dresses, Zhou Yuanyuan really doesn't look like a master who is short of money.
But Ma Hongyu missed the possibility that Zhou Yuanyuan couldn't cook. Please eat, Zhou Yuanyuan can't cook, you can't let Wen Ziqing cook with a big man, please everyone, right?
However, Ma Hongyu was a little envious of Zhou Yuanyuan, I heard that Zhou Yuanyuan was admitted to university this year, and the current college students should be at least eighteen years old, and the eighteen-year-old girl still can't cook, which shows that Zhou Yuanyuan really grew up pampered.
"No, no, no, it's not that you don't have a treat, sister-in-law Ma, I want to invite everyone to eat in a restaurant, I don't know if it's okay?" Zhou Yuanyuan saw the stiff smile on Sister-in-law Ma's face, and didn't understand that Sister-in-law Ma might have misunderstood.
Wen Ziqing came to the Northern Military Region, and if he wanted to gain a firm foothold quickly, he needed to have a good relationship with his comrades-in-arms around him. Even if Zhou Yuanyuan can't help Wen Ziqing, he can't hold him back.
Ma Hongyu also said just now that the neighbors who have newly moved into the family building have invited guests, no matter how sincere this treat is, everyone has done the same thing. But this thing will not be done here in Zhou Yuanyuan, and it is estimated that most of the leaders will muttered that their family is not social.
Zhou Yuanyuan has lived two lives, and he doesn't know that if he doesn't fit in, he will be ostracized by the people around him?
"How much money will it cost to eat at a restaurant!" Ma Hongyu sighed and exclaimed.
To be honest, although life in the past few years has been much better than in previous years, going to a restaurant to eat is still a very luxurious thing. As usual, at least five or six close friends should be invited to the bottom of the pot, plus one family member, and the number is definitely close to twenty.
The wine and food in the restaurant cost hundreds of yuan for a table, and for about 20 people, at least two tables should be opened, and the two tables of wine and food in the restaurant cost 300 yuan no matter how cheap they are!
Although the man in Ma Hongyu's family is also a regiment-level cadre, this month's salary is less than 100 yuan! For Ma Hongyu, eating up three months' salary of her family Lao Li in one meal is really sky-high. Buying your own groceries and cooking a meal is only about 30 yuan at most.
"It's okay, it's okay, sister-in-law Ma, money is not a problem. After listening to Ma Hongyu's analysis, Zhou Yuanyuan waved his hand and choked Ma Hongyu's persuasion in his throat.
"It's okay to go to a restaurant to invite guests, but it costs a little more, and after a meal, you can't spend three or two hundred. Ma Hongyu was afraid that Zhou Yuanyuan was young and didn't understand the market, so she reminded again.
Three or two hundred? That's pretty cheap. Zhou Yuanyuan blinked, didn't understand the meaning of Ma Hongyu's words, and decided to arrange the treat according to his own ideas.
"Sister-in-law Ma, you've lived here for a long time, haven't you? I heard that the roasted whole sheep here is quite famous, you can introduce a family to make a little more authentic, let's go eat roasted whole sheep tonight." "Before coming to the Northern Military Region, Zhou Yuanyuan planned to go and roast the whole sheep. It's a pity that I haven't been free these days, and Zhou Yuanyuan hasn't eaten the roasted whole sheep in his mouth! Besides, a roasted whole sheep is enough for ten or eight people to eat, and Zhou Yuanyuan and Wen Ziqing go to eat the roasted whole sheep, which is a bit unusual!
"Roast whole sheep?" Ma Hongyu exclaimed again.
Don't look at Ma Hongyu has been in X City for more than ten years, but Ma Hongyu has only eaten this famous local test sheep once, or when she first came to join the army, Li Guodong's friends invited them to receive guests. The smell of roasting the whole sheep has made Ma Hongyu remember it for more than ten years.
"Sister-in-law Ma, can't you?" Zhou Yuanyuan was a little disappointed. There won't be a rule in their army that they are not allowed to go to the restaurant as a soldier, right?
"It's not that no, this meal of roasted whole sheep costs a lot of money!Wen family brothers and sisters, do you want to ask your head Wen first before deciding?" Ma Hongyu kindly suggested. It is not easy for anyone's money to come by, and the younger siblings of the Wen family said that they would like to invite everyone to eat roasted whole sheep, and when the time comes, will the head of the Wen family blame her for not being able to run the house? In case the little two choke up at that time, the person who suggested burning the bottom of the pot will not be a person inside and out.
"It's okay, don't ask him, it's decided. Sister-in-law Ma, let's eat roast whole sheep tonight, by the way, who needs to be invited in the family building, please tell me sister-in-law Ma. As soon as Zhou Yuanyuan heard that he could go down to the restaurant, he was immediately interested, and asked Ma Hongyu for advice on the guests who needed to be invited.
Half an hour later, Ma Hongyu's brain was dizzy and left Zhou Yuanyuan's house.
"Sister-in-law Ma, how is it? Are the Wen family's brothers and sisters willing to have a treat?" Wu Xiuhe saw Ma Hongyu coming down from upstairs and hurried over.
"Oh. Is it the younger brother and sister of the Wu family? The younger brother and sister of the Wen family said, please burn the bottom of the pot tonight. When Ma Hongyu spoke, her voice was still a little fluttering. Ma Hongyu's mind was still reminding of the conversation with Zhou Yuanyuan just now. Zhou Yuanyuan asked Ma Hongyu who she wanted to invite, and Ma Hongyu said that she would pick a few families that were closer to Wen Ziqing, such as Cheng Yuanhui's house next door to Wen's house, and Zhang Battalion Chief's house in the same regiment as Wen Ziqing.
When Zhou Yuanyuan heard this, he waved his hand, and simply asked Ma Hongyu to help inform him, and all the sixteen families in the entire family building were invited. As for what Wen Ziqing's group still needs to invite, Wen Ziqing will notify him alone.
