Chapter 323 Invite Comrades to Dinner 2
Because they were going to invite Gu Jiandong's comrades-in-arms to their home for dinner, Shen Shuyu and Gu Jiandong started to get busy at noon. When Mrs. Wang came over, she was quite surprised to see Gu Jiandong in the kitchen.
She had never seen many men willing to enter the kitchen, especially someone as capable as Gu Jiandong.
Regardless of whether she had the ability or not, even the men in her hometown thought it was great to earn a few work points in the fields.
He thinks he is the pillar of the family. He doesn't even bother to go into the kitchen or even pick up the broom, leaving everything to the woman in the house.
When it's time for dinner and there's nothing to eat, he can still get angry with his wife.
"Sister Wang is here. I just happened to not get the right temperature for frying the meatballs. Can you teach me?"
Their kitchen is quite small. When Mrs. Wang came, Gu Jiandong took a bowl of noodles and went out to knead the noodles.
If he were in the kitchen alone, Mrs. Wang would definitely feel uncomfortable.
After he left, Wang Saozi and Shen Shuyu said, "Your deputy group leader Gu really loves you and even helps you knead the dough."
Shen Shuyu smiled and said, "This home belongs to two people. I can't do everything by myself."
Mrs. Wang said, "That damn guy in my house doesn't even touch the kitchen. I'm going to give him a good scolding when I get home tonight."
Shen Shuyu smiled but said nothing.
Gu Jiandong not only kneads dough, he also knows how to make dumplings. The folds of the dumplings he makes are so beautiful, which surprises Wang Chunmiao even more.
In comparison, she felt that her husband was more admirable. Look at Deputy Head Gu, who did everything at home, while her husband was like a hands-off boss.
As soon as she got home, she opened her mouth and waited for food, without feeling sorry for her at all.
"What are you going to cook tonight?"
"Make pickled fish, braised spareribs, garlic chives fried bacon, braised pork, stir-fried squid, and two Chinese cabbages."
When Wang's wife heard this, she felt sorry for Shen Shuyu, "These are all meat dishes? How much meat do we need to prepare? Those grown men might eat them.
I have other vegetables at home. I'll go back and get some more and cook more vegetables. I won't have to cook as much meat."
What kind of family is this? All the dishes for the dinner are meat. This meal must cost a lot of money.
"Sister-in-law, we don't invite guests every day, but we finally invited our comrades to have a meal, so we wanted to let everyone eat well and make everyone happy.
Besides, if we don’t cook the meat after buying it, it will be a waste.”
"You two are very honest." Mrs. Wang thought to herself that after all, you are still young and have indeed been a little more relaxed in your life.
But she was here to help. The couple had to live their own lives, and she couldn't say anything offensive.
Her husband also came to eat. There were a lot of meat dishes, so her husband could have eaten two more pieces of meat.
I was busy until the afternoon, and the dishes were almost ready. Gu Jiandong's people started to arrive. There were quite a lot of people, about twenty or so.
Fortunately, the living room is big enough and there is plenty of room to sit.
The table was not big enough, so Gu Jiandong and Jiang Ziqiang moved two wooden boards over and placed them on the original table.
There were not enough stools but they all brought their own stools and bowls and chopsticks. I guess Gu Jiandong had mentioned this in advance.
When everyone was gathered, Gu Jiandong proudly introduced to his brothers, "This is my wife, Shen Shuyu.
Shu Yu, these are my good comrades-in-arms. "
Gu Jiandong introduced his comrades one by one.
There were too many people, and Shen Shuyu couldn't remember all their names for a while, but it didn't stop her from greeting everyone, "Everyone sit down and eat, eat and drink well, there's plenty of meat."
"Sister-in-law, please sit down and eat too."
Gu Jiandong also pulled his wife to sit down, and the empty seat next to him was reserved for Shen Shuyu.
"I'll eat, you guys eat, don't worry about me."
These were all grown men. Shen Shuyu wasn't hungry and didn't want to sit down. She said something to Gu Jiandong and went back to the house.
As for Mrs. Wang, everyone asked her to sit down and eat, but she had a son at home and said she had to go back to cook for her son, so she didn't stay.
Shen Shuyu and Gu Jiandong asked her to bring their son over for dinner, but Wang's wife felt embarrassed to do so. Other people who came to eat didn't bring their children, so it would be inappropriate for them to bring their children.
She didn't bring her child with her, so Shen Shuyu packed enough food for her and her child and asked her to take the food back.
This is a big portion, with five buns.
"This bun is so big, my child and I can be full with just one each, there's no need to pack so many, just two will do.
There is no need to serve this dish, just eat the buns and save the dish for them."
Seeing that she kept putting vegetables into the basin, Mrs. Wang quickly stopped her.
"If they can't finish the buns, they can save them for tomorrow. There are still plenty of vegetables, enough for them to eat to their heart's content.
Today, we are so grateful for your help, Sister Wang. If you hadn’t come to help, Gu Jiandong and I wouldn’t be able to handle the whole thing.
If you don't take these dishes, I will feel bad, and I will be embarrassed to ask you for help next time."
"Sister-in-law Xingxing, I really can't argue with you. I'll just take it."
Mrs. Wang went home with the food. When Zhu Qiangguo saw his mother coming back, he pounced on her like a piglet, "Mom, I'm so hungry."
"Eat, eat, your aunt has packed a lot of food, enough for you."
Shen Shuyu cooks all meat dishes, especially the braised pork, which has an overpowering smell. Zhu Qiangguo, who is sitting next door, has his stomach growling when he smells the smell and is almost crying for food.
He wanted to go over and get some food, but his parents told him not to go over, and Zhu Qiangguo didn't dare to go over either. He could only sniff his nose by the wall of his own yard.
Fortunately, his mother came back with a plate of food. Hehe, that made me so happy.
Zhu Qiangguo took the meat bun and took a big bite, "Mom, this meat bun is so delicious."
"How can this not be delicious? It's stuffed with meat."
He picked up a piece of braised meat and put it in his mouth and ate, "Mom, this meat is so delicious."
"This is really delicious. I'll learn how to make it from your aunt tomorrow, and then mom will make it for you."
She thought that Shu Yu couldn't cook. After all, her face and hands were as soft as eggs, and she didn't look like she could cook at all.
I didn’t expect that he is so good at cooking, especially the braised pork. After eating one piece, I want to have two more.
The braised meat made by Shen Shuyu was not only praised by Zhu Qiangguo and Wang Saozi, but also by Gu Jiandong's comrades-in-arms. They all gave thumbs up and praised Shen Shuyu's braised meat for being delicious.
Gu Jiandong couldn't suppress the smile on his wife's face when she was praised by everyone.
"Jiandong, you are such a lucky kid. We should come to your house for dinner more often in the future."
"That's a nice thought. My wife doesn't cook easily. Next time you come, I'll make steamed bread for you."
There is definitely no way you can eat the food cooked by his wife, as he himself doesn't even want his wife to cook.
The living room was bustling with activity, while Shen Shuyu was writing a letter in her room. She missed her grandparents and didn't know how they were doing at home.
