Siheyuan: A Cook in the 60s

A trace of pain flashed across Xu Damao's eyes.

If you want to send something as a gift, you certainly cannot send the yellow croaker yourself.

In this day and age, even if you have yellow croaker, you may not be able to spend it. He knows this. He got the milk powder from a friend, which took a lot of effort and money. Having money does not necessarily mean you can buy milk powder.

"Okay, okay, Xu Damao, your efforts are noticed by the organization. Don't worry, you can have a good meal with the leader tonight. I will take care of your matter tomorrow. It will be done in a week at the latest. Is that ok with you?"

"Thank you, Chief. Thank you, Chief."

"You can accompany me for dinner tonight."

"Don't worry, Chief, I'm good at this!"

dinner time.

Cao Wei has gone to the canteen to make some trouble.

"What dish are we going to cook today?" Liu Lan asked while helping Cao Wei prepare the ingredients.

"Just four dishes." Cao Wei cut open the fish without even looking up: "Boiled fish, mapo tofu, shredded potatoes, braised pork elbow, and a serving of soup."

"Why do you sound so confused?"

"This is not a joke." Cao Wei smiled.

The dishes served to different people are different.

They are all comrades from the same family, so there is enough food. As for dishes that take a lot of time, Cao Wei is not willing to make them. On the one hand, there is no need. These days, except for a few gourmets, most people don’t like the so-called soup as much as the braised pork elbow. With meat and vegetables, it is a pretty good banquet.

"You've got a bad mouth. In this day and age, there are only four vegetables and three meat dishes. What else do you want?"

"Mapo tofu is also considered a meat dish?"

"Why not?"

Li Huaide led a group of people into the small cafeteria.

The third canteen also has its own small canteen, which is not very big, just enough to accommodate about 20 people. It still has a long table.

"Director Wei, please prepare the dishes and reward our great contributors. You have worked hard this time."

"It's not hard for the leader, it's what I should do, it's what I should do..." XN

The people who came were all going to the north this time, carrying steel.

That place is a life-threatening place, and they deserved this meal. However, this matter was contacted by Li Huaide. Director Yang did not come.

"Everyone, sit down, everyone, eat to your heart's content today. Hahahaha." Li Huaide had just finished speaking.

Wei Wei and Liu Lan came out with the dishes.

Others served a plate of food, but Wei Wei and Liu Lan served a pot of food.

A whole iron basin of vegetables.

As soon as the dish was served, Li Huaide felt numb all over. Which kind of person would serve food in a basin?

Fortunately, he was also a smart man. He immediately understood Cao Wei's intention and said, "We are all comrades. Let's not do those nonsense things. Eating well and having enough food is the serious matter."

"Yes, yes, Master Cao said that since there are no outsiders, he doesn't bother to prepare those fancy things. As long as there is meat and white flour buns, it's fine as long as everyone is comfortable eating." Wei Wei also said quickly.

"Good!" Xu Damao was the first to applaud: "The leader said it well! This meal should be affordable, and the taste...hiss, it smells so good."

After hearing this, everyone came to their senses.

This pot is the pot, but the taste of this dish is not bad.

"Come on, come on, let's eat." Li Huaide said with a smile, and was the first to pick up the chopsticks and start eating.

Since the leader has taken action, naturally others will not be polite either.

"Director Wei, please go to my office and bring me some wine. We are all family members today, so we must eat and drink well."

Wei Wei nodded and went back to get the wine. Of course, he didn't go to Li Huaide's office, as it had been prepared long ago.

As soon as the wine arrived, Xu Damao immediately took it: "Director, I'll do it, I'll do it."

"It is my great honor to have dinner with the leaders and all of you today. I, Xu Damao, would like to offer a toast to you all."

"it is good!"

If you want to drink, you need someone to cheer you up so that you can enjoy it.

As soon as he finished this glass, Xu Damao raised another one: "I, Xu Damao, have an old rule when drinking: one big and three small, everything is the same!"

Li Huaide watched Xu Damao's performance with a smile on his face, and at the same time, he supported him: "What's the big one and three smalls method?"

"The big one is naturally the leader. What is a leader? A leader is a leader! When I drink with a big shot like you, if you drink one glass, I have to drink two glasses."

"Then I'll drink three cups!"

"Then I'll have nine."

"Okay! Then I'll have three glasses first!" Li Huaide was not polite and poured himself three glasses of wine.

There was a burst of applause from the surroundings. Wow, the leader came out to compete in drinking. This scene is not common. The key is that Xu Damao's nine cups go well with rice. Moreover, the food today is really delicious.

Xu Damao never expected that Li Huaide would drink three cups without saying a word.

What can I do? I'll just grit my teeth and drink nine cups!

Under the jeers of the crowd, Xu Damao drank nine cups of wine. His body was already somewhat unsteady.

Liu Lan looked at Xu Damao's appearance, shook her head and quietly retreated to the kitchen.

Cao Wei was eating calmly in the kitchen.

"You're not taking it back?"

"I'm the only one at home, so I can eat here. If you're okay, why don't you take it back with you?"

"You're not leaving?"

"Why would I leave? I'll wait for them to finish eating. If there's not enough food, I'll add some more. We're all family members, so the more we can eat, the better."

"I didn't realize you take good care of your own people."

"That's not the case. With today's dishes, I can usually prepare a meal for 20 people. But for the 10 of them, they can probably enjoy a hearty meal today."

"Hey, you're not married yet?"

"I'm only 20, I'm just old enough, I'm not in a hurry."

"Not too young anymore. I'll introduce one to you later."

"No, I'll find one myself. Isn't it called 'free love' now?"

Cao Wei and Liu Lan were chatting idly in the kitchen, and time passed by minute by minute.

I don't know how much time has passed, Wei Wei came in, his face was a little rosy, he came in with his round belly, and nodded at Cao Wei: "You are great, kid, you are so happy to eat this dish today."

"Okay, are you done eating?"

"After you finish eating, leave it there for now. I'll have someone clean it up tomorrow. By the way, that Xu Damao, if I remember correctly, is he from your hospital?"

"Yeah, what? Are you drunk?"

"How did you know?"

"Nonsense, he's from our hospital, how could I not know?"

"That's fine, you can take it back. Is that okay?"

"No problem, leave it to me." Cao Wei stood up and stretched.
