Chapter 163: A Treat

Gu Zhicheng invited his comrades-in-arms to dinner at home on the weekend. I told Zhang Cuilian in advance. Zhang Cuilian has the intention to let Gu Zhicheng grow his face in front of outsiders. It must be better than the family members in front of you.

The dining table and chairs she asked for had already been delivered. There are also two cabinets. Zhang Cuilian didn't expect what she wanted, Gu Zhicheng really did it. And unequivocally, it is not to blame that he wants to play a play.

Zhang Cuilian saw that Gu Zhicheng's choice of table was too in line with the style of the 80s. The soil has fallen off the dregs. More than just a folding table. And because it has a folding shelf made of thin iron rods. And two red folding chairs. I can't bear to look at it directly, and it doesn't match the furniture at home.

She asked Gu Zhicheng for a rectangular dining table. There are three chairs on both sides, one on the front and one on the back. Although the living room of their house was merged into two. But there isn't much room for the bathroom.

Zhang Cuilian set the dining table with the same color as the bookcase facing the door of the living room. Inside, against the wall, was the half-human-tall cabinet. On the wall above the cabinet hung several small wooden picture frames. There is a group photo of the couple of them, a group photo of Gu Zhiqiu and An Rong in the provincial capital, a family photo of An Rong and his wife leading Gu Zhicheng and Zhang Cuilian, and a family photo of Xie Jun and Dong Lihua and Zhang Cuilian.

Inside the cabinet is Zhang Cuilian's beloved quilt. Crystal clear water cups, delicate coffee cups, white embossed black tea cups. In the bottom cabinet is a full set of cutlery sent by Ding Ke. Zhang Cuilian was reluctant to use it as a collectible.

The other set of cabinets was placed against the bedroom window. Drawers contain underwear, socks, and thin shirt-like clothing. On top of it are beautiful candlesticks. The taste of the whole room was immediately pulled up.

Su Yaxiu never came to Camp Commander Gu's house. I only know that Zhang Cuilian bought a lot of good things for this treat. So after lunch. She brought the child over and prepared to help early.

I didn't expect that as soon as I entered the door, I was hooked by the furnishings in this house and forgot the purpose of coming to the house.

"You're the palace. It's so beautiful. Su Yaxiu walked around the house with the child in her arms: "If you don't look carefully. Who can have a heart as big as our family? Oh my God. Your family is too generous. ”

As soon as Su Yaxiu entered the door, she was first attracted by a few pairs of high heels on the shoe cabinet at the door. She went to see someone's bathroom. But what is next to him is the heart of the eye-qi family, the head of the Gu battalion, to his daughter-in-law.

Although this summer is short. But in just a few days, the people who are also hot are going to die or live. You can't always go to the bathhouse to wash your hair and take a shower at home. He also gave the house a heater, even if he took a bath in winter, he was not afraid of anything.

Let's go to someone's living room. That big table is really exciting. A few picture frames hanging on the wall. At a glance, you can see that this daughter-in-law is not simple. She hung several photos of her in-laws' family. Mother's only one. Whoever is here can tell. Who is in charge of this family? A good reputation is not to be said. Camp Chief Gu is also hot in his heart. This is called the Gu family. This is the daughter-in-law who marries into the door.

"I'm not angry with your bookshelf desk. Our desk is not big. Su Yaxiu sat on the sofa. While rarely touching the soft backrest foot, he also ordered some futons on the coffee table.

"I don't envy your TV stereo either. Our family is a little worse than yours, but all we see and hear is that stuff. Your family may be more expensive than ours. Su Yaxiu sighed: "I don't want your desk lamp." It's so pretty. It's like sprinkling flowers. Where did you do all this? ”

Zhang Cuilian's floor lamp has a set that Ding Rongrong asked someone to come back a little bit. European court style. Even if it was sold in 2012. Nor did anyone say that the style was earthy. The other set was later discovered by her. This time, a friend who dragged eight poles away brought it back. That person is not reliable enough. Just forget about it. I remembered it and sent it to the Xie family. Zhang Cuilian has already gotten in the car.

Xie Jun checked the table lamp again. Gu Zhicheng only retrieved it two days ago. It is a set of table lamps in the style of scattering flowers all over the sky. The workmanship is not good enough and it is not worth much. It's just that it's very new. A filament wrapped in silver wire, with a plastic film on the outside, just glows throughout. Gu Zhicheng pouted and said that only the businessmen of the US imperialists were profiteers. Zhang Cuilian could only smile cooperatively.

The difference between a man and a woman is: Women prefer to be fancy, and men prefer to be more pragmatic. Su Yaxiu walked around their house. It's only the boss who stares at the lights when he sees them.

After eating some cookies at Zhang Cuilian's place. Su Yaxiu's child rubbed his eyes and became sleepy. coaxed the child to spread a futon on Zhang Cuilian's kang and covered it with a small blanket. The little one sucked his fingers, closed his eyes, and fell asleep.

The two of them went to the kitchen with confidence. Prepare dinner for today.

"You bought such a big grass carp. This must be eight pounds. What are you going to do? I can't put it in the pot. Su Yaxiu looked at the fish in the basin on the ground. fluttering straight out.

"Cut. Make braised fish pieces. Zhang Cuilian squatted on the ground peeling potatoes. Now the two of them are just getting the preparations done. But this preparation is still quite troublesome. For example, you need to pack an eight-pound grass carp.

There's no habit of selling fish and cleaning up the fish. Zhang Cuilian wasted her old nose strength before she brought it back from the store outside the wall.

Su Yaxiu is a Lisuo person. Pick up the kitchen knife and click for a while to clean up the fish: "Sister." Do you have to stay in the water with this fish? ”

Zhang Cuilian stood in front of the chopping board with her back to her. I was trying to cut green onions, ginger, garlic, and carrots. Wen Yan smiled and said, "Don't, don't." I threw all the intestines and fish bubbles at me. I don't want this thing to make fish. ”

Su Yaxiu looked at this large pile of fish intestines with some pity. After opening and closing his mouth for a long time, he was embarrassed to say that he wanted to take it home, so he could only throw it into the swill bucket.

Cut the fish pieces and place them on a plate. Auxiliary ingredients have been prepared on a plate next to it. Green onions, ginger and garlic. Sichuan pepper star anise cinnamon is placed there in a regular manner.

Seven cold dishes, pine nuts, tripe, donkey meat in five-spice sauce, celery and dried tofu. Nuts and spinach. Dip pickles and tomatoes with sugar. Braised fish pieces, chicken stewed with hazel mushrooms, stewed four white These are three stews. The first thing to do. Pot-wrapped meat, shredded sweet potato, and hot kohlrabi These are three dishes that need to be oiled. Muxi pork, mapo tofu, and stir-fried cowpea with garlic are the three dishes that need to be stir-fried.

Su Yaxiu looked at the paper pasted on the kitchen wall. At the beginning, she was holding back a smile, and Zhang Cuilian made a big fuss. Everyone in this courtyard has invited guests to dinner. Why is it just to her, it's like a state banquet.

And there's nothing written on it. Even those dishes are not unusual. Acid. Salty. Spicy. It's quite sweet.

Wait until the guests come. The pot is making stewed four whites. There was already a bowl of fish and a plate of chicken on the pot.

At this time, Su Yaxiu saw Zhang Cuilian's exquisiteness. That's really a lot of face-saving work.

Who's plate in the Northeast is not the boss anymore. A plate of food can hold two adults enough. The dishes are large and the portions are sufficient. This is the way of hospitality for the people of the Northeast.

But today Zhang Cuilian is not. Their plates are neither big nor deep. It's pretty good to look at. But it's a bit of a useless meaning.

It's that chicken stewed with mushrooms. Su Yaxiu looked at them coldly, and only one-third of them were filled, and the rest was put aside. Not to mention those cold dishes on the board. It's almost made her into flowers. Let's talk about the donkey meat sauce. This was made by the master chef in the canteen the day before yesterday, and many people bought it. Their house is in the refrigerator. I took it out today and cut it and put it on a dish. In the middle is a carrot carved into a flower with a mold. She couldn't figure out why she was wasting money on that thing.

It's not this that the worst loser. It was she who cut several cucumber slices and carrot slices. I don't cook either. And he put it there in a circle. It is said that it is to separate the dishes to look good. And the green lettuce leaves are also used for the occasion.

Su Yaxiu is here to help. My daughter also ate a big box of cookies and watched TV for an afternoon. She was embarrassed to give Zhang Cuilian advice. But looking at this pile of things, I still feel pity.

Wait until the guests have come and sit in the living room. looked at the set of tea sets on the coffee table, and tasted tea while being curious. Su Yaxiu skimmed the fruits and snacks on the table. It's also put into flowers, and it's not like it's been ruined by these rough people.

"They're all big bosses. They don't lead the way when you make it like this. You say you're so tired. Su Yaxiu handed Zhang Cuilian a glass of water. Zhang Cuilian leaned on the refrigerator and said with a smile: "Whether you know the goods or not is someone else's business." This attitude is what I, the hostess, should have. ”

"Lao Gu. You're really a good daughter-in-law. Look at what your family asked her to serve. Okay, you're so blessed. "The comrades-in-arms are honest with each other. Seeing that Gu Zhicheng was 'getting old' and married a daughter-in-law, he was so sensible and happy for her.

Zhou Peng took a turn. His eyes fell on the bookshelves that occupied most of the house. Carefully look at the books on the shelves. I found out that this college student is really not a showman. There's quite a bit of it here. But they are all masterpieces at home and abroad. There is also a lot of information on psychology. There are also quite a few books in foreign languages. Look at the other people's desks again. Although it was cleaned up. But the rice paper in the corner, as well as the pens on the side, hang the rows of brushes, it is not difficult to see that people's daughters-in-law are really beautiful women.

Everyone drank tea for a long time. After watching Gu Zhicheng show up. Zhang Cuilian stood at the door. The little daughter-in-law asked Gu Zhicheng like a child: "Can you start dinner?" ”

That big man can't be beaten. The big guys can't help but make jokes.

Wait until the sixteen dishes are on the table. Everyone walked over and couldn't help but nod secretly. This Lao Gu's family is really sensible, and they really know how to give face to men. I don't know how it tastes. But it seems that you know that you have put ten out of ten thoughts.

"Sister-in-law. Don't be busy. Come and sit down. Let's eat together. Everyone invited Zhang Cuilian to sit down. Zhang Cuilian pursed her lips and giggled: "It's all my own family." Don't be polite to me. My sister-in-law didn't know your tastes when I came for the first time. If there is a place that is not well cared for, I hope you Haihan. ”

Zhou Peng, as a neighbor, has met and spoke. Zilai smiled politely: "You are too polite." The whole big guy doesn't know how to eat it. ”

Su Yaxiu's man Gong Liansheng said with an unceremonious joke: "If you don't know how to eat, don't eat." It's best to go home and eat your dumplings. The crowd burst into laughter.

The speaker has no intention and the listener has the intention. The corners of Zhou Peng's mouth stiffened, and he laughed dryly. With his head down, he counted the sixteen dishes. Thinking about the scene of his own treat, his heart twitched for no reason.
