Chapter 80: Invited to take charge of the birthday banquet
It was late in the spring, and when the sun had completely set, they had completed their task for the day.
"Oops, I'm so tired, I've got to sleep all day." Hao Hao pounded her sore shoulders and sighed loudly, it was not easy to farm, but she was very confident in the future.
"Sister, you go back to sleep, I'll cook." Guoguo took the initiative to take over the work, Hao Hao was pregnant, and she just stopped morning sickness, and finally got better, if she is very tired, the child will be gone.
"Thank you for your hard work." Hao Hao patted Guoguo's shoulder, Guoguo was young, and he had been working all afternoon, and he was probably tired enough.
"It's okay, I have a lot of strength, I've gained weight recently, you see my belly is fat into a ball." Although Guoguo is small, he is smart, and he blocked what Hao Hao wanted to say in a few words.
Hao Hao couldn't and no longer insisted, because she really had back pain, and Sun Laohan was also very tired, but her legs would be almost all right after a few days.
When the family returned home, it was already past seven o'clock in the evening.
After an afternoon of work, everyone was tired.
After a while, I picked the easiest and least troublesome rice to make. Hao Hao and Tian Tian lay on the kang and watched Guoguo busy coming and going.
With the sound of pots and pans colliding, Hao Hao fell asleep unconsciously.
About half an hour later, the meal was served, and Guoguo was not called Hao Hao, but sent food to the others, and waited for them to finish eating before calling Hao Hao.
"Sister, eat." Guoguo gently pushed Hao Hao, Hao Hao just hummed, then turned over and fell asleep again.
Guoguo saw that Hao Hao was sleeping well, and he no longer insisted, and after eating, he probably washed the fruit and climbed up to sleep, and the pastries of tomorrow morning were forgotten.
Until the middle of the month, about eleven o'clock, Hao Hao woke up leisurely. When she got up, her head was still drowsy, and she touched the kang foot on the ground in a daze.
"Slap" turned on the light.
The room suddenly brightened, because of the sudden light, the thorny fruit and Tiantian frowned slightly, and the instinctive aunt and niece turned over at the same time and fell asleep.
Hao looked at the wall clock on the wall, it was already half past eleven. She touched her shriveled stomach and searched the house for food.
Guoguo intimately warmed the rice in the pot, Hao Hao opened the lid of the pot and took it out, the rice was still steaming.
She looked back at the sleeping Guoguo, and her heart was warm.
I sat on the kang and ate, only to find that tomorrow morning's pastries were not made. She sighed and resigned herself to her fate and went back to work.
Because of the increase in pastry orders, Xu Laohan built a four-eye stove in a row, and there were five before it.
Twenty in one pot, one can bake a hundred, and two hundred catties won't take long. The laborious task was to make and roll the stuffing, which alone took her half an hour.
Wiping the sweat from her forehead and looking at the baked pastry, she took a sip of space water and ate a peach before putting the pastry into the space.
Afraid of the new members in the space, eat. She also went in to advise her.
Looking up again, the pointer was already pointing to three o'clock, she couldn't take a break, and then went on with the buns. Hao Hao thought as he did it, whether to ask for helpers again.
This lasted for two days, and on the third day, Hao Hao took a car to the town.
In the morning market, the crowds are crowded, the weather is warm and green, and there are many people who come out to walk and work.
Half of the breakfast was sold, and someone came.
"In such a hurry?" Hao Hao looked up and saw a man in army green clothes, standing in front of the dining car, buying breakfast, and looking at her without saying a word.
"Hmm." He rarely spoke, only hummed softly, and his mouth never opened.
"Then wait for me, I'll get something." Hao Hao went to the inner room after speaking, and the cake she prepared in advance was placed behind the curtain, and she could pick it up when she left.
"Let's go." After getting out of the dining car, the cake was handed to the man, he took it easily, and then on Hao Hao's left side, he was one step ahead of her and led the way for her.
"How many people are there, light or light?" Hao Hao was busy and couldn't remember some things clearly, so in order not to have an accident, he asked again.
"There are those who like spicy food, and there are those who like light." The man paused, then spoke.
"Got it." Hao Hao thought about the dishes while walking, the birthday banquet should have meat and vegetarian, according to the man's dress, the status of the birthday should not be low, and she has always adhered to the fine tradition of simplicity and thrift, she will not be too prominent, ask the nanny about the matter, probably know what the dish is.
After walking for a long time, he stopped in front of a large courtyard.
"I'm back." A young man with a gentle tone, but his face was not a soft greeting.
"Well, this is today's chef, have the dishes been prepared?" The man spoke.
"It's been a long time coming, just wait for the chef to arrive." The young man spoke.
Hao Hao smiled slightly and followed the man into the courtyard.
"It's best to keep the cake in your hand in the refrigerator, cool it down, and then take it out when the feast begins." Hao Hao kindly reminded
"Well, I'll take you to the kitchen." After hearing this, the man carefully held the cake and took Hao Hao to the kitchen.
"This is the chef personally ordered by the chief, you must fully cooperate, today's birthday banquet cannot be sloppy." The man's face was cold, his tone was very serious and serious, and Hao Hao, who listened to it, was a little nervous and scared.
"Don't worry, we won't disgrace the chief." All five of them spoke in unison.
"If you have any orders, you're welcome, they will help you, and today's banquet is very important, you need to have more snacks." Before the man went out, he carefully advised.
"I see." Hao Hao nodded.
Then the man strode away, leaving Hao Hao and five people alone, you look at me, I look at you. The scene was a little awkward and cold at one point.
But it didn't take long for Hao Hao to take the initiative to speak.
"It's my first time here, and there are some things that you are not proficient in, and I hope you will take care of them, after all, this is a matter of the chief's face."
"Tell us anything, and we'll make sure we get the job done." The five of them patted their chests and reassured, Hao Hao was relieved.
Whether you fit in or not is one thing, and whether you succeed or not is another, no matter what, you have to do it well today, and you have done it successfully.
Since people are generous and kind, she doesn't have to be polite.
Then everything went well, and after asking about taboos and preferences, I came up with a menu. I heard that there are four tables to be set up, and the requirements are in line with the local characteristics of Shaanxi Province, and there is no extravagance and waste.
Hao Hao thought about it, in fact, the food culture is almost the same everywhere, but some are sweet, some are spicy, some are light, and some are heavy.
In addition to the cake, the birthday star should also have longevity noodles.
Since it is local to Shaanxi Province, let's have a trouser belt noodle, one by one, and the important thing is in the soup. For the rest, there are chickens, ducks, and fish, and you can do whatever you want
The five of them were all cooks, with superb knife skills, and the fish fillets were as thick as hair, and Hao Hao was amazed by this.
They are willing to do it, and Hao Hao also dares to take the lead.
Within half an hour, the smell wafted out of the kitchen.
The guests who came one after another couldn't help but inhale the sweet and not sweet smell in the air, and hurriedly rushed into the house to ask for sweets with the old birthday star.
The old birthday star is an old revolutionary about 70 years old, who has retreated to the second line due to injury, and has long been out of political affairs.
Hao Hao is busy sweating, but not too tired, recently every day, the body is much better, both flexibility and sensitivity are much higher, she stir-fry a big pot of vegetables by herself, only a little sweat, nothing else.
At eleven o'clock, a large table of food was finally ready, she wiped her sweat, said a word, and went outside the house again.
Although he is a leader, the courtyard where he can live is not very luxurious, but it is better than comfort. She sat on a stone bench in the courtyard, chin tilted and looking at the sun overhead.
She remembers that the things she had grown in her garden had sprouted, about the length of a thumb.
It is worthy of being produced by the space, growing fast, and it can be released in a few days. After the guard Ouyang Jing came out, he saw such a picture.
A slender and slender woman, dressed in a black tunic coat with her chin in her hands, looked lazily and elegantly ahead, and the soft sunlight shone golden light on her, holy and gentle. He looked at it for a while, then raised his feet and walked towards Hao Hao.
Hao Hao has good ears, and even in a daze, he heard the footsteps of the comer.
She raised her head slowly, and saw the person clearly against the light, still dressed in army green, wearing it on him, handsome and heroic.
"Why are you here?" Hao Hao's taste is familiar with that of an old friend, and he asked.
"When you're done, do you want to go home or?" Ouyang Jing bent down slightly and sat on the stone bench opposite Hao Hao.
Looking closely, Hao Hao's fine fluff is clearly visible. The white skin was glowing, as smooth as a pearl out of the shell, and he couldn't help but lose his mind.
"Go home, my father and sister are probably in a hurry." Hao Hao withdrew his hand, tidied up his clothes, and got up.
"I'll give it to you, it's your reward." Ouyang Jing said and took out three hundred, Hao Hao's dishes were well cooked, and the cake was specially approved, the old chief was very happy, he wanted to see Hao Hao, but when he heard that she was pregnant, he gave up.
"Okay, just come with me, I haven't talked to you yet." Hao Hao stretched out his hand and motioned for Ouyang Jing to raise his hand, and she pulled him.
After Ouyang Jing was stunned for a short time, he quickly returned to normal, and handed his hand over, a pair of wheat-colored big hands were placed in the white palms, and they didn't look abrupt.
The warm and slippery touch made Ouyang Jing's body stiffen, he had never had any contact with a woman, he didn't expect the woman's hand to be so soft.
Just a short touch, Hao Hao found that Ouyang Jing's palm and the tiger's mouth had a callus, and it looked like he had been engaged in a certain job for a long time, otherwise why would the tiger's mouth have a callus.
Not long after they got up, the two let go of their hands.
"Is your home in Yuan County?" Hao Hao looked back and asked.
"No, I'm from Yanjing, and I'm going to accompany the chief back, so I don't think I will stay long." Ouyang Jing thought for a while before speaking.
"I said, what about a pure Beijing accent, it stands to reason that you should have a family at your age, right?" Hao Hao laughed and greeted again.
"No, I didn't have a family." Ouyang Jing scratched his head a little shyly, cramped and uneasy.
