After the meal, the cold dishes on the table were very clean, with only some chopped green onions and sesame seeds left.

There were only two plates of dumplings left, and the two people who ate at the end packed up the dumplings and took them away.

Seeing the remaining dumplings being packed away, their eyes and expressions showed reluctance, because they also wanted to pack them away, so they let such delicious dumplings be packed away. If they were the last ones to finish eating, they would also

It can be packed and taken away, which makes me a little jealous.

Seeing that there was still a small bowl of dumpling filling left in the kitchen, another aunt who was helping the cook packed up the remaining dumpling filling and took it back to wrap it and eat it herself.

After the meal was over, the old men who helped were smoking cigarettes on their full bellies and gathering together to discuss Yunxi's food.

An uncle said:

"The dumplings were so delicious today. I probably ate more than 40 of them."

"It's really strange. I don't eat celery, so I didn't even plan to eat the dumplings stuffed with celery. I have been complaining to the chef for a long time about what I want to eat with celery dumplings."

Another uncle looked at the speaker, took a puff of cigarette, exhaled the smoke, and couldn't help but want to expose him, smiled at the corner of his mouth, and said:

"Don't brag. I saw that you ate the most delicious food. I even got two bowls of sour soup dumplings. You still don't eat them? Do you still eat less?"

The uncle who said he doesn’t eat celery also quickly said:

"I haven't finished talking yet. Today's dumplings are so delicious. I can eat so much even if I don't like celery."

After speaking, he looked at the old man who had just criticized him and said:

"I saw you didn't eat less. You even counted how many bowls you had. You bad old man."

........

After the meal, everyone was praising Yunxi's cooking skills, and no one doubted it anymore.

When an aunt saw Qi Taobo, she walked up to him with a smile and said:

"Taozi, I found you such a good cook. These dumplings are really delicious at noon today."

Qi Taobo looked at the aunt who was asking the question. She said she was not a good cook at the beginning of the morning, but now she immediately changed her attitude. Sure enough, she was just like his mother and his wife, who changed their attitude at any time. Qi Taobo said with a smile:

"Auntie, just eat well. This cook is from my aunt's village."

The kitchen is still busy, the people who are helping the kitchen have not left, and the mutton has not been finished yet. The mutton must be stewed in advance. The stew time needs to be longer so that the mutton can become tender and fall off the bones.

There are also vegetables. We need to wash all the vegetables so that they can be taken out and cut directly for the main dinner the next day.

These tasks should be done in the afternoon to shorten the time for vegetables to be placed as much as possible.

The vegetables in the village are very convenient to pick, and washing them in advance is to save time.

The pot for braised chicken feet has been cooked. Put the chicken feet out into the pot. After frying, they will be fluffy and soft tiger skin chicken feet. The color is like tiger skin, and the shape after frying is also like, fat.

The chicken feet are fat, so they are called tiger skin chicken feet.

Chili Pepper Beef Fillet Cut all the beef into strips, marinate it, pack it up and fry it the next day.

Prepare all the ingredients for the soup, pork ribs and corn soup, and chop the corn into small pieces in advance, which makes it easier to eat.

The elbows and roasted pork are already cooked and have a good flavor. They are almost 7 years old. Take them out and let them cool. When the weather is not very hot, close the lid and they will not go bad if they are left overnight. Just wait for processing the next day.

.

The clear water chicken has also been cooked in advance, and the 5-mature whole chicken can be put directly into the steamer the next day.

The sweet potatoes have been peeled in advance, and the shredded sweet potatoes are waiting to be cooked the next day.

There are also some ingredients that have a limited shelf life and cannot be processed in advance. They can only be cooked the next morning.

The ingredients for the dishes that could be processed in advance have been prepared one after another. It was already past 5 pm when the work was finished, and the ladies who were helping the cooks also left one after another.

The day's work was done, and only my family and relatives from afar were having dinner in the evening.

Yun Xi was still in the kitchen looking at the dishes on the menu, whether they were all prepared or if they were missing.

Qi Taobo's mother had already prepared a room for Yunxi to rest at night. Since the main banquet had to be done for 25 tables that day, she had already agreed with Yunxi in advance that she would need to stay one night so that she could have a rest the next morning.

We have to start work and ensure that the meeting starts at 12 noon.

Qi Taobo's mother went to the kitchen and saw Yunxi busy, and said:

"Yunxi, I saw that you were busy just now. You are finished now. You go and take a rest first. You have been busy since the morning. I will cook for you in the evening. Let's have dinner at 7 o'clock. I will call you then."

After hearing what Qi Taobo's mother said, Yunxi didn't refuse. He had been busy for a whole day and was indeed a little tired. Even with the help of strength points, he was still a little sleepy. He needed a good rest today and had to work hard tomorrow.

.

This is the first time for a banquet of 25 tables, so the number is indeed a bit too much.

Yunxi said:

"Well, that's okay, Auntie, I'm going to wash my hands first and I'll be there in a minute."

After saying that, Qi Taobo's mother took Yunxi to the bedroom.

Yun Xi entered the home and was still observing the decoration in the house.

The styles of the 6 bedrooms are not uniform. Some of them are made of tatami mats and some of them are beds, but they give people a very warm feeling.

After entering the house, she saw water, some fruits, some snacks, and a very attentive aunt prepared by Qi Taobo's mother for Yunxi. Yunxi seemed to know why she felt warm, because she had an attentive hostess.

Yun Xi lay down for a while and then fell asleep. It felt like he slept for a short while, and then he was woken up by Qi Taobo's wife to have dinner. In the evening, he made some small stir-fry dishes, plus pumpkin porridge. After dinner, Yun Xi

Xi went into the house and played with her mobile phone for a while, then went to bed early.

At 5:40 the next day, the alarm clock rang on time. Yunxi turned off the alarm and got up to wash up.

Just after washing up, I heard the sound of a spatula stirring in the kitchen. It was Qi Taobo's mother making breakfast.

Unexpectedly, he got up so early. Yun Xi came out of the yard to say hello, and then started to work in the kitchen again.

Let’s start with the cooking sequence of elbows and roasted pork.

After Yunxi fried all the elbows, had breakfast, and started preparing for today's banquet.

There were 25 dishes to make, and Yunxi had already started steaming the elbows before the chef arrived.

As soon as the elbows were steamed, the aunts and uncles who helped the kitchen came and started chopping vegetables. The sound of "dengdenggao" being heard from the kitchen as the kitchen knife collided with the chopping board.

Yunxi is preparing pork chop and corn soup. He needs to make the pork chop in a pressure cooker first. After the pork chop is cooked, he can add water to make the soup.

Let’s start with meat processing. The busy kitchen aunts are frying cashew nuts and some are frying sweet potatoes. For shredded sweet potatoes, you need to fry the sweet potatoes first and put them aside for later use. When the food is served, they start frying while the food is being served.

While cooking.

The kitchen has a clear division of labor.

The first dish to be served is the fruit plate.

You need to shape the watermelon rind in advance. Take half of the watermelon rind, cut off the red part of the melon sac, and cut the watermelon rind into strips without breaking the tail.

Simply fix the strips cut out of the watermelon rind with toothpicks, like the tail of a peacock in full bloom, and place it in the middle of the fruit plate. Place a few pieces of watermelon underneath to fix the position of the rind to prevent the shape of the rind from falling to both sides.

After fixing it, place the fruits neatly on both sides so that the colors match well and are visually more delicious.

The first choice for fruit bowls is watermelon, cantaloupe, oranges, and grapes, because these fruits will not oxidize and turn black.

When preparing dishes, you should pile up all the cold dishes in advance and put them on the big table aside. When the meal starts, the dishes can be served easily and taken away directly.

Cut the watermelon rind in advance, and the aunt who helps the cook assembles it according to the style of Yunxi's first fruit plate.

When the cold dishes were brought away, the assistant cook began to prepare the hot dishes, and began to put the roasted pork, elbows, chicken, etc. that had been prepared in advance on the plates. After these dishes were taken away, the chef's hot dishes were ready.

Waiting for the first stir-fried dish to come out, help the chef take the first stir-fried dish away, put it on a plate, put it on the big table, and arrange it neatly. When the person serving the dishes goes back and forth, continue to move the dishes in the order of the dishes.

While helping the kitchen serve the first hot dish, the chef continues to stir-fry the second dish.

The people serving food go back and forth into the kitchen. When there are many people, they will inevitably collide with each other and knock off the dishes. This method of serving food effectively avoids collisions.

The kitchen was busy cooking, and the sound of music in the yard filled the entire alley.

More and more people came to the banquet, and more and more cars came to the door. The host, Qi Taobo, was wearing a suit and greeted the arriving guests at the door. At the same time, the phone number was not disconnected. If he needed to find his way,

Guidelines.

Qi Taobo's wife also wore a long red cheongsam dress with light makeup. The skirt perfectly outlined her figure, and she instantly changed into a different person.

It is completely different from the image of wearing pajamas with messy hair in the morning. Just like an Internet buzzword, describing a person who is completely different before and after makeup, it is called "head changing", so Qi Taobo's daughter-in-law today is

Completely changed his look.

Qi Taobo, who was standing in the yard, seemed to have something on his mind. He kept looking at his mobile phone and would open it after a while to take a look.
