Because Su Lan decided to let everyone have a dinner together, everyone felt that they would definitely not be able to be busy with Su Lan and the sisters preparing food for so many people, so they went back and found their mother-in-law.

These military wives also came to help, Su Lan nodded and invited someone in, and said as she walked, "Let's prepare to eat hot pot for a while, so that we only need to prepare the soup base, and the others can be cooked while eating." ”

"We prepared two soup bases, one with a spicy pot base and one with a clear soup. The soup is already boiling in the pot, just wait for the time to come. ”

"Now we're going to make some staple food, just make some steamed dumplings or something, and the sisters-in-law can help with it." Su Lan said with a smile to introduce the situation.

"Okay, good, I'm not afraid of your jokes, sister-in-law, my skills in making steamed buns are still very good, I rarely ate white noodles when I was in my hometown, but my skills in making steamed buns with one hand are very satisfactory to my parents-in-law." Li Dongming's lover said crisply.

"Then please sisters-in-law." Su Lan also nodded in trust.

With the concerted efforts of everyone, the steamed buns and noodles were prepared before the soup base was ready, and they didn't make dumplings or buns, so they made steamed buns and noodles.

In winter, noodles can be frozen on the windowsill, and they can be eaten later.

Chen Yuanchao also came back to them, and found three coal stoves and three pots. One of the three pots was for women and children, and the other two were for Chen Yuanchao and other big men.

Everyone didn't plan to eat in the house, after all, it was dangerous to close the doors and windows with a coal stove, and Chen Yuanchao's dormitory was very small, so the big guys chose to be in the courtyard outside Chen Yuanchao's house.

The soldiers found a rain cloth to hang up to cover it, and the weather was fine today, but it was also cloudy and cloudy, so they were still worried about snow or something.

After Chen Yuanchao and Li Dongming hung the rain cloth over the courtyard, they began to clear the snow, shoveling the snow in the yard to the base of the wall and cleaning up the yard.

The yard was cleaned up, and Chen Yuanchao lit the three coal stoves for them, and then divided the boiled soup base to cook.

The bottom of the pot for women and children is clear soup, and it is said that the clear soup is actually the bottom of the pot with hazel chicken and chicken soup, which tastes very delicious, and bamboo shoots and chicken fir mushrooms are added to it.

One of the men's two pots has the same bottom as the women's and children's pots, and the other pot has a spicy pot bottom.

When the soup base in the pot boils, the delicious taste comes to the nostrils, so that everyone can't help but drool and talk about it.

When the soup was cooking, the two pots in Su Lan's house were finally empty, and they happened to be steaming steamed buns.

And meat, carrots, potatoes and other dishes were all chopped and chopped by Su Lan's beckoning soldiers.

Su Lan took most of the cow from the space, which was stored in the space after the slaughterer asked Su Mei to dispose of it, and it could be taken out directly when it was time to eat.

Of course, in addition to beef, there are mutton, roe deer meat, chicken, duck and fish.

Su Lan didn't take out a lot, and more Chen Yuan went out to fight on their own.

Chen Yuan drilled into the back mountains for more than an hour and caught a few hares, pheasants or something, bought chickens, ducks, porks and other things from nearby villages, and even went to the river to catch fish.

After preparing for more than an hour, the meal was finally finished at eleven o'clock in the morning, Su Lan and Su Mei couldn't help wiping their sweat, they were hungry.

It is already the limit for the two foodies to skip breakfast and then prepare such a sumptuous hot pot feast, and they will collapse if they don't eat again.

"Thank you for your hard work, daughter-in-law." Chen Yuanchao looked at his daughter-in-law's forehead, which was obviously sweating in the winter, and came to Su Lan's side in distress, wiping his daughter-in-law's sweat with a distressed face.

"It's really hard." Su Lan smiled and said, "But hard work is also rewarded, can you eat it now?" ”

"Okay, it's ready to eat." Chen Yuanchao nodded, and then beckoned the others to sit down quickly.

Chen Yuanchao's close comrades-in-arms were also officers of the same level as him, that is, less than ten people, and the rest were close soldiers under him.

Therefore, the number of men at today's dinner party was thirteen or fourteen from Chen Yuanchao's side, and there were four or five from Su Bai's side, adding up to almost twenty people.

And there were five or six military wives who ate at the same table with Su Lan and them, all of whom came over one after another to help Su Lan and them prepare food together.

They all stayed for their own children, and Su Lan and their pot were also more than a dozen people, which was very lively.

The coal stove is not too big, but the pot is very large, and everyone knows that there are many people who eat this meal, so the pot prepared is very large, and a lot of things can be lived.

After setting up the table and stools, as well as the dishes and chopsticks that each family brought from home, they began to eat.

"Come on, come on, try the craftsmanship of my younger brother and sister, I miss Su Xiaomei's craftsmanship, but I can't forget the pickles made by Su Xiaomei." Li Dongming said with a smile.

"Lao Li, you are fast, hurry up and put down the plate of meat for me." Li Dongming's boss, the battalion commander, said to Li Dongming with a tiger face.

"Hehe, this hot pot thing, whoever has the fastest hand can eat it." Li Dongming said with a smile, and put the mutton in his mouth after smuggling it, looking intoxicated.

"Okay, you Lao Li, it's shameless." After the battalion commander scolded Li Dongming hatefully, he also hurriedly started to shake the mutton.

Everyone was very curious about where the beef and mutton came from, but they thought that it might be Su Lan who bought them when they came, that is, they ate happily, so they didn't pursue it so much.

Few people will ask the root cause of other people's meat and vegetables when they eat at other people's homes.

The warriors also ate happily, and they didn't care where the meat came from, anyway, they rarely had an extra meal.

The food of the army is not bad, and there is no wildlife protection law in this era, so everyone will go up the mountain when they want to eat meat.

But some people will return empty-handed if they are unlucky, like Su Lan, who can come back with prey every time he goes, and he has his own ability - such as space.

The warriors also didn't have much time to go out hunting, that is, they occasionally encountered some wild animals during training, and most of them were scared away, so they didn't eat much.

Everyone was very happy to be able to eat meat this time, especially the soup base of the hot pot is really delicious, and the seasoning of Sumei is really unstoppable.

In addition to the seasoning, some of the pickles made by Samui are also used as dipping sauces, which have a unique flavor.

After Su Bai's roommate took a piece of tofu and dipped it in pickles, he looked intoxicated, and after swallowing the tofu in his mouth, the young soldier looked at Su Bai with bright eyes, "Doctor Su, is my little sister married?" What do you think of me? ”
