The reborn peasant girl has space for farming

Chapter 517 guests are coming
"Meixi, why did you cook so many delicious dishes? You brought these dishes from your hometown?"

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Cheng Haiyi finally came back from the detention center. As soon as he entered the room, he saw a large table of delicious food on the desk, and his eyes suddenly showed a bit of surprise.

Garlic sprouts, green vegetables, and tomatoes are all rare vegetables in winter. They are very rare even in their hometown, let alone Agu Mountain, which is covered with snow all year round.

But Bai Meixi has been here for more than half a month. Even if the weather is too cold, these dishes should have gone bad long ago.

"How could I bring them all from my hometown? I bought them at the local market when I was transferring trains. I went to both Puhai and Jingcheng. The dishes there are complete and there are a lot of fresh things. I bought them for you to try. "

Bai Meixi tidied the house and cleaned up Cheng Haiyi's small dormitory. The kang had been burned for a long time, and the warm breath made the glass fog up, making it look extremely warm.

"Meixi, where did you get so much money? Didn't you spend the pocket money I sent you every month?" Cheng Haiyi felt a little distressed when he heard what Bai Meixi said. They have been married for more than half a year. , he only gave her 5 yuan of pocket money every month. Today she prepared such a large table of dishes, and she probably spent all the money she had saved over the past six months on today.

"Of course I have my own way. Every time I see some special local products these days, I buy some and take them to the next place to sell them. I also make a little money. I just want to buy you some delicious food."

Bai Meixi has long thought of how to explain the origin of the money. In this era of inconvenient transportation, except for visiting relatives and traveling on business, no one can buy specialties from other cities. It is not difficult to earn the price difference.

It's just that the distance is long and the tickets are expensive. Carrying a small amount of goods is not enough to offset the cost of the tickets, and there is no profit.And not many people have the capital to make bulk purchases, which is why this market remains vacant.

"You've been working so hard all the way. I asked you why you arrived so late. It turns out you've been working all the way. In fact, you don't need to prepare anything. Just come."

Cheng Haiyi touched Bai Meixi's head lovingly. He knew how cold it was when setting up a stall selling goods outside. Bai Meixi must have been freezing these days.

He borrowed an old writing desk from the warehouse and put it together with the original writing desk. He set up a large square table in the dormitory, which was larger than the Eight Immortals' table.

Bai Meixi placed a small iron basin under each dish with stones heated by fire to keep the food warm for a long time.

The squadron leader, political commissar, instructor, deputy squadron leader, logistics director and Director Huang arrived soon. They had heard that the family members of deputy squadron leader Cheng had brought a lot of good things, but they didn't expect it to be so rich.

"As a deputy squadron leader, this is too expensive. How can we be embarrassed?" Everyone was embarrassed to sit down when they saw such rich dishes. Life in the camp was poor, and they had never had such a good meal even during the Chinese New Year.

"Hai Yi has relied on everyone's care these years. It's appropriate to treat everyone to a meal. Everyone, please sit down. The food will be cold soon."

Bai Meixi asked everyone to take their seats quickly. Things in the camp were tense. Everyone brought their own chairs, bowls, chopsticks and teapots when they came. These things were piled on the table, making the Eight Immortals Table made up of these two writing desks full. Seems a bit crowded.

Bai Meixi and Cheng Haiyi were both sitting on the kang. The two of them were crowded together and looked extremely close.They poured wine for each guest. High-purity white wine was good for dispelling the cold. After several people drank a glass, they started to talk more.

"I'm so lucky to be the deputy squadron leader. I actually married such a good wife. I can't say her cooking skills are comparable to those of a chef at a state banquet." The squadron leader took a bite of the food first and said to Bai Meixi's chef Yi was full of praise. He had been to the capital before and had received awards for meritorious service. He had eaten the highest-standard local food, but he felt that it was not as good as Bai Meixi's cooking.

"Squadron Captain, the last time you received an award for your meritorious service, it seems that you only had a cup of tea and some snacks in the hotel. I didn't hear that you had any big meal."

The political commissar joked with the squadron leader. Everyone knew that he had been to the capital for meritorious service. At that time, everyone was waiting for the commendation ceremony to start in the hotel lobby and ate some melon seeds and rice cakes. This matter was publicized everywhere by the squadron leader, and it became a The talk of the whole squadron after dinner.

"I'm not looking for something to make you happy. There's nothing new in this place where the mountains are blocked by heavy snow!"

The squadron leader is enthusiastic and loves to joke, and he often makes fun of himself, especially after drinking a few taels of white wine, and he is comparable to a popular joker in modern times.The atmosphere at the dinner table was extremely lively, and the young men in the entire barracks could hear the sounds in the room.

Bai Meixi also drank two drinks. She kept paying attention to the food on the table. If she found that any dish was cold, she would heat it on the alcohol stove so that everyone would always have hot food to eat.

A group of people drank until 7:30 in the evening. They finished all four bottles of liquor. The political commissar had already vomited and stood in the yard and kept moaning.

"It's such a pity, it's such a pity that such a good meal was all wasted."

The political commissar had a good drinking capacity. His legs were already shaking, but his mind was still very clear. He was holding the yard broom to clean up the dirty things on the ground.

A young man next to him saw it and quickly took a shovel and shoveled away the dirt and snow on the ground.

"Political Commissar, please drink less. Every time you drink, you have to vomit before you're done." The young man put the political commissar's arm on his shoulders and planned to take him back to his room.The other guests also said goodbye and staggered to their dormitories.

Bai Meixi quickly took out a few oil paper bags, which contained souvenirs she had prepared for everyone. Each person had half a catty of tea and one catty of bacon.

"Sister-in-law, why are you so embarrassed? You entertain us with such good food, how can we eat and take it at the same time?"

Everyone waved their hands and refused to accept Bai Meixi's things. Before, their family members would bring some wild fruits, red dates and the like when they came to the camp, and everyone could just divide them up. But now the things Bai Meixi brought out were so valuable, they How could you want it?

"They are all specialties from my hometown. Don't be polite. It's cold here in Agushan. We need to eat more meat so that we can have the strength to stand guard. This is also my wish."

Bai Meixi asked a young man in the cafeteria to deliver things to the houses of several leaders. This time they finally stopped refusing, mumbled their thanks, and returned to their rooms drunkenly.

Bai Meixi breathed a sigh of relief. Today's luck was very successful, which will definitely be of great benefit to Cheng Haiyi's future situation in the camp.
