Chapter 91: A Sumptuous Dinner
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The cousins’ eyes were filled with love. Chu Qingzhi was beautiful and capable. They liked this sister.
Li Qingyu first introduced Chu Qingzhi to her family before introducing them to her one by one.
Chu Qingzhi had a photographic memory and remembered all of them at a glance.
She looked at everyone and roughly knew what they were thinking from their expressions. However, she did not care at all. “Grandma, Grandpa, Uncles, Aunts, Brothers, and Sisters, it’s time for dinner.”
They were not familiar with each other yet. After saying some polite words, the Li family stood up and walked out.
Chu Qingzhi and Li Qingyu stood on the spot and let them leave first.
After they all left the shed, Chu Qingzhi looked around. The ground was filled with wooden sticks used to make ice cream bars. Molds were thrown everywhere. A lot of sugar water was spilled, and sugar was scattered on the ground.
Chu Qingzhi immediately frowned.
The villagers had been working for her for a long time, but they never created such a mess.
Shen Ruyue walked over. When she saw the scene in the shed, she could not help but frown. However, she did not say anything. After all, it was Li Qingyu’s family.
Chu Qingzhi said nonchalantly. “Let’s go eat. It’s time for time.”
Outside, Li Qingyu brought the children to the kitchen to serve the dishes. There were braised pork ribs with lettuce, double-cooked pork, braised pork, braised tofu, and shredded potatoes.
Tonight’s dishes were all served in large basins. There were nearly 40 people eating, young and old.
Of course, the rice dumplings were the main point. Li Qingyu took 40 rice dumplings of each flavor and placed them on the table. “The dishes are all served. Everyone, you can eat.”
When Zheng Guixiang’s family saw the sumptuous dinner, their eyes lit up. They kept swallowing their saliva, wishing they could eat it all.
When they heard Li Qingyu say that they could eat, some of them rushed to the table like hungry wolves and wolfed down the food. The younger ones even grabbed the food with their hands as if they were beggars.
The Chu family couldn’t help but frown, but they couldn’t say anything. They could only pretend not to see and pick up the rice dumplings to eat. They had been looking forward to eating it for the entire day.
Chu Qingzhi gave Tang Jinghong three flavors of rice dumplings. “Jinghong, try them and see which one you like the most.”
She guessed that Tang Jinghong might want to reward some of the soldiers in the military camp. If he liked rice dumplings, she would earn another fortune from him.
This time, Tang Jinghong sat beside Chu Qingzhi.
He stretched out his slender and well-proportioned fingers and unwrapped a pork rice dumpling gracefully.
The pork rice dumplings were added with soy sauce. The fat in the pork overflowed with grease after being steamed for a long time, making the entire pork rice dumpling look golden. The color was good, and it was appetiting.
Tang Jinghong took a bite. The texture was soft and sticky. The meat inside was fat but not greasy. The fragrance of the glutinous rice mixed with the fragrance of the bamboo leaves satisfied his taste bud. He was immediately stunned. He did not expect that when such simple ingredients were added together, it would taste so delicious. “Qingzhi, this rice dumpling is not bad.”
After receiving confirmation, Chu Qingzhi could not help but smile. “Try another flavor.”
Tang Jinghong tasted the green bean rice dumplings and red date rice dumplings.
The green bean dumplings were fresh in color and tasted glutinous. They were filled with the fragrance of beans.
The red date rice dumpling was sweeter than the other two, but it was also delicious.
Tang Jinghong gave her a thumbs up. “Qingzhi, the three flavors are all delicious.”
Chu Qingzhi asked, “Then which one do you like the most?”
Tang Jinghong’s gaze landed on the red date rice dumpling. “I like red date rice dumplings the most.”
The general seemed to like sweet food… Chu Qingzhi tilted her head and looked at Tang Jinghong. “Jinghong, did you mean that they all passed the test just now?”
Tang Jinghong’s lips curled up slightly. He smiled and said, “1 can’t hide anything from you. Let’s eat first and talk about business after.”
Chu Qingzhi looked happy. “Okay.”
Chu Rong saw that Li Qingyu seemed to have injured her hand, so he took the initiative to unwrap a rice dumpling and placed it in Li Qingyu’s bowl. “Try it.”
Li Qingyu smiled shyly. “Ok.”
Although Granny Chu always scolded Grandpa Chu, Grandpa Chu doted on Granny Chu very much. He unwrapped a rice dumpling and fed it to her.
Granny Chu narrowed her eyes and smiled.
Shen Ruyue and Chu Xuhua reached out to take the rice dumplings at the same time. Unexpectedly, their fingertips touched and the two of them immediately retracted their hands as if they got an electric shock. They could not help but blush.
Chu Qingyue seemed to have forgotten the pain of her relationship. With a smile, she took a red date rice dumpling and ate it.
Chu Third placed the rice dumpling in the bowl. As if he had an obsessive-compulsive disorder, he carefully observed it and found the place where the cotton thread was knotted. He removed the knot and tore open the rice dumpling to eat.
Chu Qingning was also very funny. She opened the rice dumpling and took a small bite. Then she closed her eyes and enjoyed the aftertaste of it seriously.
Chu Xuyuan and Chu Xuyao tore open the rice dumpling and placed it in a bowl. They ate it in small bites. They looked very refined and cultured, like scholars.
There weren’t enough rice dumplings. Li Qingyu went to get another 60. “Eat as much as you want. If you like it, I’ll make it again tomorrow.”
Other than a few young ones, the Li family was all gluttons. Most of the food tonight was eaten by them, and they had eaten countless rice dumplings.
Seeing Tang Jinghong put down his chopsticks, Chu Qingzhi asked, “Are you full?”
Tang Jinghong nodded. “1 ate three rice dumplings and a lot of food. I’m full.”
Chu Qingzhi said, “Wait for me for a while. I’ll be done eating soon. It’s too noisy here. Let’s talk outside later.”
Tang Jinghong smiled and said, “Take your time. There’s no hurry.”
Chu Qingyue finished her meal and went to clean the shed. Suddenly, she heard a strange sound.
She carefully listened to the sound and realized that it came from Chu Xuhua’s room.
“The person Fifth Sister saved has woken up?”
Chu Qingyue looked at the dining room. They were still eating, so she walked to Chu Xuhua’s room, planning to see the situation first before informing Chu Qingzhi.
Ning Yuting woke up amidst the commotion. Before he could open his eyes, he felt a sharp pain in his head and cold sweat broke out..
