Reborn to be a country doctor

Chapter 123 123. Treating Guests

After stewing chicken with mushrooms and black fungus, Lin Qingxi basically only had to deal with the chicken offal. She added some firewood to the stove and went to deal with the chicken offal. It turned out that the chicken offal was already processed and placed in the bowl.

The hen is an old chicken, and it tastes good only when it is stewed. As for the three bowls of ginseng chicken soup left at noon, she plans to share it with the wives of Zhou Mingming, Hui Hong, Xie Village Chief and Feng Carpenter. It can be divided into four small bowls.

The dishes for the evening are all ready, and now the only things that are missing are the bowls and chopsticks, tables, chairs and benches. Compared with Lin Qingxi, who only "exchanged" twenty bowls from Carpenter Feng, there are enough bowls for vegetables, but not enough bowls for dinner.

When the hen was stewed for an hour and a half, Zhou Mingming came back. Zhang Lei drove him around, went to the military hospital and then went to Ping'an Village to deliver the letter. After delivering the letter, the two returned directly to the army. Zhang Lei returned Che went to practice, and Zhou Mingming went home.

"You're back? Have all the letters been delivered?" Lin Qingxi looked at the dusty Zhou Mingming, and felt a little distressed in her heart, but there was no other way. He was the only one suitable for sending letters.

"Well, it's delivered. Dean Qian is going to the Imperial Capital to attend an academic conference in the afternoon. Everyone else said they will come in the evening," Zhou Mingling said in a deep voice.Being able to marry Xibao is definitely earned by herself.

"Then how many people are here for dinner?" Lin Qingxi looked up at Zhou Mingming. She hadn't prepared the staple food yet, and said, "Sweet potato rice is the staple food? We only have sweet potato and rice at home. When we go back this time, you It will take two or three months to come back, and it will easily spoil if left for a long time, save some to eat in the car, is the rest cooked enough?"

"That's enough. I've invited a few good brothers, and our teacher Xiang Yangbiao. The total number of people is less than two tables. The rest of the people will not be invited. When I come back, I will bring some special products from home to the cafeteria. Let's all have a meal," Zhou Mingming looked at Lin Qingxi and said with a smile on his face.

"That's fine! Then let's set up two tables! When the time comes, you men will sit at one table, let Uncle Lin sit with you and your comrades-in-arms, and the aunt will sit at the same table with the female relatives and children," Lin Qing Xi included Zhou Mingming's comrades-in-arms and family members, but he didn't know that they had no time to eat.

"Okay, then you may have to prepare the dishes that the two children like to eat," Zhou Mingyi believed in Xibao's craftsmanship, not because she didn't want to help, but because she was in the army, and Lin Qingxi had to rely on herself to integrate into the army. In sister-in-law's circle.

"Okay, then let's make steamed eggs and candied sweet potatoes?" After Lin Qingxi finished speaking, she got up to wash the sweet potatoes. After the chicken with mushrooms and fungus was stewed, she had to cook the main food.

"Okay," Zhou Mingming nodded, and he followed into the kitchen, ready to help Lin Qingxi.

The two entered the kitchen one after the other, and Zhou Guilin and Aunt Sun walked out of the room. It turned out that the two had woken up a long time ago, and when they heard Zhou Mingming and Lin Qingxi chatting in the yard, they were afraid of disturbing them. The two of them whispered and didn't go out. Now they came out when they went into the kitchen.

"Understood, you go out and sit! What can one hand do, don't make trouble for girl Xi," Aunt Sun said unceremoniously as soon as she entered the kitchen, she felt that what she said was the truth.

"That's right, girl Xi, you don't need to do anything, just wash the sweet potatoes for me," Zhou Guilin calmly followed behind Aunt Sun, and Lin Yizheng and Lin Qingxi seemed to be out of gregarious like an outsider.

However, Zhou Mingming knew that his parents loved him dearly, and they were afraid that he would hurt him when he did things. Of course, this was just his self-consolation. In fact, they both really disliked Zhou Mingming.

Zhou Guilin moved very quickly. He took a wooden basin and a wooden barrel, carried fifty catties of sweet potatoes on his back, and took Zhou Mingming to the river to wash the sweet potatoes.

Although there was water at home, water was needed for cooking and washing at night. Zhou Mingming was half disabled and couldn't do physical work, so Zhou Guilin thought about going to the river to wash.

When the father and son returned home after washing the sweet potatoes, the chicken in the pot was stewed. Lin Qingxi put it in a wooden basin, and then began to cook. The remaining [-] catties of rice at home, she cooked ten Four catties, and about twenty catties of sweet potatoes and rice were added to the pot and stewed.

"Girl Xi, will this staple food be too much?" Looking at Lin Qingxi's big handwriting, Aunt Sun felt a little bit reluctant and distressed, but she also knew that Lin Qingxi was making a face for her son, and she would not Prevent.

"No, ma'am, a soldier has a lot of training and a lot of food. If you don't cook enough to eat, it will be ugly at that time. I understand that my brother's face is not bright, and he will be criticized by others. It's not worth it," Lin Qing Xi shook her head. She grew up here, so she naturally knows more than Aunt Sun and the others.

"Okay, then I'll listen to you," Aunt Sun nodded, and didn't say anything else, but concentrated on lighting the fire. Zhou Guilin was very pleased and moved that Lin Qingxi was so thoughtful about everything for her son, so naturally she wouldn't say anything .

As for Zhou Mingming, he didn't say anything, he knew that it was fine if he didn't speak, but if he did, he would be the one to be unlucky, besides, he was very happy now.

The rice was cooked soon, and Lin Qingxi put it into a clean wooden bucket. She looked at her watch, it was already past five o'clock, and the remaining few dishes were quick dishes, so it would take no effort to stir fry, she thought People must pour water for them to drink when they get home, so they simply cleaned the pot and boiled half a pot of hot water.

"I don't have wine at home. If there is sugar, I still have some left in my suitcase. When the water boils, heat our two military kettles, and then take two large soup bowls to fill the water. I'll go get some ginger candies." Come here, when people come, the aunt will be responsible for pouring sugar water for people, Uncle Lin will light the fire for me, Brother Ming, you go greet people yourself."

There is also a reason for Lin Qingxi's arrangement. Whether it is Village Chief Xie or Carpenter Feng, Aunt Sun has met them. Aunt Sun also knows Hui Hong and Qian Zhijie in the hospital, and Zhou Mingming's comrades. It is also most suitable for him to entertain by himself. Aunt Sun will not say that she looks down on people when she comes to pour sugar water, after all, she is Zhou Mingming's mother.

As for Lin Qingxi herself, it would have been fine if she was entertaining her own friends. After all, she didn't have a license to hold a drink with Zhou Mingming, and it seemed a bit inappropriate to entertain his comrades in arms.

"Okay, I get it, I'll entertain them well," Aunt Sun replied with a smile, she can't let others gossip about girl Xi, and she can't let people look down on her.

"Brother Ming, go and get the candies from my suitcase. There should be about a dozen toffee candies. There is still half a pack of ginger candies left. Bring them all here!"

"Okay, I see," Zhou Mingming replied and went to the room to get candy.
