Chapter 214: The Warming Banquet

After hearing this, Xu Zhongjun thought for a while and said: "Let's invite the whole family, when the families of other comrades-in-arms came to join the army before, the warm house banquet was also invited by the family members." But now none of them have enough food, so although we invite the whole family, they won't come with the whole family. 26 and 28 These two days are good, let's have a treat at night, and we are not afraid of delays. ”

"That's okay, then it's set on the 26th and 28th, first ask your leaders and comrades, and then ask your subordinates, you are responsible for notifying, and I am responsible for thinking about what to do." Xie Xiaonian replied.

"Well, like the political commissars, they don't mix with our gatherings, so you only need to invite the regiment commander, deputy regiment commander and a few battalion commanders and deputy battalion commanders' homes, usually each family is 2 adults with a child, you count the number of people, just look at the preparations. At that time, you don't have to work alone, and the other sisters-in-law should come over to help if they are free. Xu Zhongjun said.

"Okay, then I'll prepare the ingredients in the next two days."

From the next day, Xie Xiaonian began to think about what to cook, thinking about the ingredients at home, Xie Xiaonian decided to think about it carefully, what to do so that it would not be rude and not make people feel that it was too dazzling.

And after entertaining two groups of people, there will be some left in the house, at least until the beginning of spring when you can go up the mountain.

In the end, Xie Xiaonian decided to buy 3 catties of fresh meat, and then pair them with shiitake mushrooms to make about 10 catties of dumplings, with an average of half a catty per person.

It's not that Xie Xiaonian doesn't want to buy more, but if there are too many, he will be eye-catching, you must know that their family has a meat ticket for a month, and it is only 1 catty of meat tickets, so they will buy these meats, and they will also have Xu Zhongjun go out to borrow meat tickets, and it is even more suitable that there will be a wave of people to entertain.

Of course, these dumplings are impossible to eat, so they are also a match.

Xie Xiaonian also prepares to make bacon fried king oyster mushrooms, bacon potato chips, dried bamboo shoots and bacon, steamed cured fish (preserved fish is replaced with preserved duck), sour cabbage, fried shredded potatoes, cold fungus, cold shredded radish and peanuts, and then steam some steamed steamed buns with Sanhe noodles and boil sweet potato rice soup in a pot.

At that time, the portion of 9 dishes will be slightly larger, so that everyone can eat enough, and the men can have snacks, and half meat and half vegetarian, which will not be shabby or too eye-catching.

Because Xu Zhongjun said that it was best for family members not to go to the army, so on the 25th, Xie Xiaonian asked Xu Zhongjun to go to the logistics and asked the purchaser to help them bring 3 catties of meat and 4 catties of wine the next day.

Take it home at noon, just so as not to delay making dumplings in the afternoon.

Because it is not easy to go to the county, other military families in the regiment sometimes ask the logistics department to help bring some food and the like, so Xie Xiaonian is not a violation of discipline.

On the 26th, Xie Xiaonian took all the ingredients needed to the kitchen in the morning, and then put away most of the things in the second bedroom.

When the time comes, they may have to visit the room, so the second bedroom cannot be locked, so as to save them from seeing the meat in the house and saying something bad.

Because the tables and plates at home were not enough, Xu Zhongjun finished eating at noon, and specially called the regiment commander's family home and brought back his table and some dishes and chopsticks.

These few of them, and the head of the regiment's house have some idle dishes and chopsticks, so when other families have a treat, they also go to the head of the regiment to borrow them.

After Xie Xiaonian finished lunch, he soaked the soaks and washed the ones that should be washed, so that he could prepare them first, and he would not be too busy at that time.

After finishing this, Xie Xiaonian began to chop the dumpling filling, because there was more meat, and the board at home was not big enough, so Xie Xiaonian was ready to chop it twice, she first cut the meat into minced meat and put it in the basin, and then took half of it and began to chop it.

Although there are a lot of chopped up, Xie Xiaonian doesn't dare to be lazy, let the space formation deal with it, this upstairs and downstairs live so close, if there is no movement to chop the stuffing, it will be too suspicious.

It may be that the sound of chopping stuffing is relatively loud, and the houses are not soundproof, so Xie Xiaonian just chopped for a while when he heard a knock on the door.

As soon as Xie Xiaonian opened the door, she saw that it was Ma Meihua, who lived downstairs in her house, holding her six-year-old daughter Wu Mengzhu and her one-year-old son Wu Weidong over.

Before Xie Xiaonian could speak, he heard Ma Meihua say softly: "I heard the movement of your house, and I knew that I had started cooking, anyway, it was okay to be idle at home, so I came over to see if there was anything I needed help with." ”

When Xie Xiaonian heard that he was here to help, he said with a smile while leading the person into the house: "Sister-in-law, come in, there is nothing to help, there is not much work, and the time is still early, it will be done slowly, I will chop the dumpling filling first." You sit down first, and I'll pour you a glass of water. ”

"Don't be busy, it just so happens that Wei Dong is asleep at this time, I'll give you a hand, if this kid wakes up, I can't help if I want to, where do you think I put him?" Ma Meihua said politely.

Seeing this, Xie Xiaonian directly asked Ma Meihua to put Wei Dong on the pancake bed, the two children are young, even if they sleep in the same bed, it will not affect each other.

Then Xie Xiaonian took 2 steamed cakes for Wu Mengzhu and let her run around the house to play, while she and Ma Meihua went back to work in the kitchen together.

After a while, the 2nd battalion commander and the deputy battalion commander's daughter-in-law also came over, the 2nd battalion commander's daughter-in-law Wang Shufen brought her 6-year-old son Zhang Xiangqian, and the 2nd deputy battalion commander's daughter-in-law Zhang Chunping brought her 5-year-old son He Junwei and 2-year-old son He Junqiang over.

There are boys here, and there is a lot of commotion at home in an instant, and because the two older boys are about the same age, they can fight whether they are eating or playing, and they can make a fuss for a while, which makes Xie Xiaonian's brain hurt.

A few of the younger children were woken up several times, one crying, the other crying, and even the pancakes, which had never been crying, howled for a while because they didn't sleep enough.

Although Xie Xiaonian had a headache, he was having a treat at home today, and he couldn't drive people out, so he had to take out some small snacks to coax them.

Who knew that because of the new snacks, they would be able to fight again, and in the end, Xie Xiaonian had no tricks, so he simply didn't care about it, and let their own mother discipline it.

And Xie Xiaonian also discovered that Zhang Chunping is particularly protective of children, when the two children quarrel and fight, she will step forward to protect her son every time, as if it is someone else's fault.

If it weren't for the fact that the other party's father was her man's boss, maybe she would have helped, a little too protective.

But fortunately, Wang Shufen slapped her son twice, and he didn't dare to say anything, so the scene quieted down.

The children are quiet, but a few women can't be quiet in the kitchen, especially with Wang Shufen and Zhang Chunping, two long-tongued women, the kitchen is really lively.

However, Xie Xiaonian had just arrived and didn't know anything, so he only listened to their gossip.

Although Xie Xiaonian didn't like to say it, he listened to it with relish, and he didn't feel bored when he was working.

It may be that Zhao Qiuxiang, the daughter-in-law of the first battalion commander, has not come to help, so she is the one who others talk about the most, only to hear Wang Shufen say in disgust: "Zhao Qiuxiang didn't come to help again, look at it, she must have come over when it was time to eat, and I don't know how embarrassed she is to eat every time." ”

"People are different from us, but she thinks she is from the city, how can she work with us people. Every time I go to her house, I am too embarrassed to sit on the sofa by her, as if I am dirty, Xiaoxia's family is a real city person, I don't look like her, and I don't know how she worked in the field before she joined the army. Zhang Chunping also said sarcastically.

"That's it, I think we're dirty, when that piece is eating, why doesn't she dislike that it's what we sandwiched, it's faster than anyone else, she doesn't eat if she has the ability."

After Xie Xiaonian listened to their words, he also felt balanced in his heart, it seemed that it was really like Xu Zhongjun said, he was not alone in this kind of treatment.

In everyone's gossip, Xie Xiaonian also knew that only when the head of the regiment and the deputy head of the regiment had a treat, Zhao Qiuxiang would go to help early, and when other people had a treat, she was there with a meal, and to put it bluntly, she was a little powerful.

And she is also very patriarchal, and she usually brings her 10-year-old son Wang Chaoqun to dinner, instead of her 8-year-old daughter Wang Cuiying.

Even her eldest daughter Wang Cuihua is studying, she doesn't want to let her go, if it weren't for her husband's stubbornness, her eldest daughter might become the only child in the compound who has reached age and does not go to school.

There is also the fact that she has some advantages, usually everyone is poor, and the stomach is not full, and there is nothing cheap for her to take advantage of, but when it comes to which family invites dinner, she will give people some leftovers, saying that she will go home to feed the chickens, but in fact, they are all eaten by her own family.

However, although Xie Xiaonian felt that what they said might be a bit exaggerated, the cleanliness habit was so serious, how could he be able to eat other people's leftovers.

And the same as Zhao Qiuxiang was discussed, as well as Zhang Chunling, the daughter-in-law of the deputy head of the regiment.

But after all, they are the wives of leaders, so a few people have some scruples and don't say much.

Xie Xiaonian can also understand that Zhao Qiuxiang and Zhang Chunling have the best relationship, it should be said that Zhao Qiuxiang is always complimenting Zhang Chunling, and Zhang Chunling is very fond of putting on the shelf of the official's wife, and he enjoys the feeling of being held by others, so the two just smell like each other and are often together.

The two of them deserve to have the best relationship, and they only help when they go to their boss's house for dinner, but fortunately, Zhang Chunling is not as patriarchal as Zhao Qiuxiang.

Because Xiao Xia and the daughter-in-law of the head of the regiment both work in the county, they can't come to help, so dinner is prepared by the four of them.

Zhang Chunling and Zhao Qiuxiang, who stayed at home all day and had nothing to do, also came to the house when they were ready to cook.

And Zhao Qiuxiang really took her son with her, not her youngest daughter, as a few people said just now.

Other families all have the youngest children, only her family is not, but looking at everyone's reactions, I also know that they are not strange.

After the two came, they didn't feel embarrassed, so they stood aside and said politely: "There are some things at home, so I came late, and I didn't help much, Xiao Nian, don't see outside!" ”

However, when they said sorry words, the two of them stood still, without any intention of helping to set the meal and serve the food.
