There are not many dishes, and they will be washed in less than an hour. After washing, Li Mei went to find a bamboo pole again, washed the bamboo pole, and then dried all the cleaned vegetables on it and dried the water. Wait until the water is dry before proceeding to the next step.

Sister-in-law Wang knew that the list of people going to the military academy had come down, and Zhao Yuanchao won the quota and hugged the swallow to congratulate Li Mei.

It was originally a happy event, and Wang's sister-in-law said goodbye, and she accepted it.

Sister-in-law Wang didn't just come to say hello to Li Mei this time, but also wanted to remind Li Mei. It was a battalion commander who went to the military academy with Zhao Yuanchao, and he planned to invite everyone to get together. Wang's sister-in-law wanted to ask if Li Meijia wanted to have a treat.

"Wouldn't that be too high-profile?" Li Mei looked at Sister-in-law Wang with some uncertainty. This quota is very rare, and if the quota is won by Zhao Yuanchao, some people will lose this opportunity. Isn't it added fuel to the fire that other people are already unhappy in their hearts, but you are happily celebrating here?

Sister-in-law Wang looked unimpressed, and waved her hand at Li Mei, "Anyway, it's not your family's start, what does it matter." I just wanted to ask you, if you're going to have a treat, I'm good to come over and help. ”

Li Mei naturally wanted to thank Sister-in-law Wang for her kindness, but this matter was not something that Li Mei could decide alone. "I have to discuss this matter with my family, my family really wants to have a treat, and I will definitely trouble my sister-in-law for your help. Otherwise, how could I be busy alone. ”

"Okay, you can discuss it with Camp Commander Zhao. Notify me when the time comes. ”

Later, Li Mei told Wang's sister-in-law about her going back to her hometown. Sister-in-law Wang heard Li Mei say that she wanted to go back to her hometown, and she didn't feel strange when she arrived. After all, Camp Commander Zhao has been gone for two months, and it's okay to stay here, and you can save some money if you go back.

You need money to eat and drink here, and if you go home, at least you don't need money for this food and vegetables. So Sister-in-law Wang is very much in favor of Li Mei returning to her hometown.

And Wang's sister-in-law doesn't know that Li Mei and they are separated, even if they go back, they are afraid that they will have to rely on money to buy anything.

"I've been away for two months, and you know that I'm going to make dry pickles these days, but my family is urging me to leave immediately, and this dried pickles must not be good for drying, so I want my sister-in-law to help me take out this pickles to dry every day. When the moisture is almost dry, help me put it in the jar. "It's embarrassing to ask others to help. Li Mei wanted to get all this done before leaving, but Zhao Yuanchao was not at ease, and he had to send Li Mei on the train to rest assured. There was no way, so she had to ask Sister-in-law Wang to do it.

"No problem. You can go back with confidence, I will definitely help you do it. These are all trivial things, and Sister-in-law Wang agreed without thinking about it.

Zhao Yuanchao bought the ticket back, and he didn't know whose relationship he was dragging, this time he bought a sleeper ticket for Li Mei. If you want to be a sleeper in this era, you really can't do it.

Zhao Yuanchao was good to her, and she was naturally happy. But Li Mei didn't feel the need to waste this money. This sleeper is half as expensive as the hard seat, and she is young now, and she doesn't feel any hard work in the hard seat. However, Zhao Yuanchao bought all the tickets, and Li Mei did not let him return them.

Li Mei put the ticket away and talked to Zhao Yuanchao about the treat.

Zhao Yuanchao frowned.

Seeing this, Li Mei said, "If you think it's inappropriate, I'll go tell Sister-in-law Wang." Anyway, Li Mei also felt that it was not good to have a treat at this time, and since Zhao Yuanchao did not approve of it, then she would go and talk to Sister-in-law Wang.

"It's nothing to treat." Zhao Yuanchao continued, "You come to the army, we haven't invited us yet, or we will invite us together this time." ”

It is said that whoever has a daughter-in-law comes, that family basically wants to have a treat, and Li Mei has heard of this. She and Zhao Yuanchao also planned to invite a guest, but because they had just arrived, they had to prepare everything. Later, there were some other things like that, and there was no time. So this treat has been postponed until now, and it has not yet taken place.

"Okay, let's invite us this time." Zhao Yuanchao said so, and Li Mei naturally had no opinion.

Now that you've decided that you're going to have a treat, you have to prepare something to eat. There are also two pieces of bacon at home, and Li Mei plans to cook them all this time. But you can't just use two pieces of bacon to send people away, this meat must be bought. They have to treat themselves tomorrow, and it will definitely be too late for them to go shopping by themselves, so Zhao Yuanchao asked the little comrades-in-arms who went to the city every day to buy the things he wanted to buy back together. This is a small matter, and the little warrior will naturally not refuse.

What dishes to buy, naturally, it is up to chef Li Mei to decide. However, before she buys vegetables, she has to know how many people she will invite tomorrow, and she doesn't know how many people will eat tomorrow.

Zhao Yuanchao calculated, not much, so he invited a table of people. Treats are generally invited to people who have a good relationship with them, and others who have a bad relationship will not come.

After getting the specific number, Li Mei discussed tomorrow's dish with Zhao Yuanchao, "There are still two pieces of bacon at home, and it should be okay to buy two catties of pork." ”

Those bacon weighed about three or four catties, and with two catties of fresh meat, there were five or six catties of meat. In this era, it is already very generous to be able to take out five or six catties of meat for a treat.

"Bacon will use the red root at home to fry a vegetable, and cut a plate of cold vegetables on the bacon lean meat. In this case, there are two dishes. For fresh pork, buy the hind leg meat, which is more lean. Lean meat bought back I useful. Then Li Mei began to think again, how many dishes to make for this fresh meat. Fatty meat is fried with pickles, a potato fried with shredded pork, a cabbage sliced pork soup, and then a cabbage. ”

That's six dishes in one go. When the time comes, get two more vegetarian dishes, and this table will be about the same.

Li Mei discussed tomorrow's dishes with Zhao Yuanchao, and Zhao Yuanchao couldn't mind anything at all except nodding.

Once you have thought about this dish, you can't forget the staple food. Li Mei They are southerners, and their staple food is naturally rice, but in this year, no one has invited someone to eat rice with an open belly.

This meal must still be cooked, but it can't just be rice, something has to be added to it, otherwise if you are eaten like this, you don't know how many days of famine you will have. If you think about it, you can only add a large pumpkin to it. When it's ready, the pumpkin is fried in oil and steamed with rice, and it tastes even better than just cooking rice. It's not too bad to entertain guests like this.

However, it depends on whether the pumpkin can be bought back tomorrow, and everything will be easy to do if it can be bought back. If you can't buy it back, you'll have to find another way.
