After everyone has arrived.
Wang Chunxia helped Jiang Ning go to the front room to greet the guests and set the dinner table.
Put all the delicious food and drinks brought by everyone neatly together.
In the small kitchen.
Yang Rui is lighting a fire and boiling water.
Jiang Ning stood in front of the stove and gently put the glutinous rice dumplings into the iron pot one by one.
The glutinous rice dumplings have their own sweetness, so they don’t need any seasoning.
When the water boils and the dumplings become larger and float one by one, they are cooked.
While waiting for the water to boil.
Jiang Ning noticed that there was some unused glutinous rice flour dough on the side.
An idea struck her.
Shape the remaining dough into rectangular shapes.
In another iron pot on the side, pour some cooking oil.
Once the oil is hot, place the rectangular strips in it.
There was a sizzling sound in the oil pan.
The originally snow-white glutinous rice flour gradually turned into a golden and crisp color.
Jiang Ning took the chopsticks and turned the strip over.
Pan-fried golden on all sides.
Take it out of the iron pot, put it on a plate, and arrange it neatly in a square shape.
At this time, continue to add some cooking oil and a large handful of white sugar to the iron pot.
After a while.
As the temperature of the oil increases, the sugar melts in it and becomes syrup.
During this time, keep turning the syrup with a spoon.
Slowly, the originally transparent white syrup slowly turned brown, and it was ready to be served.
Jiang Ning poured brown syrup onto the golden and crispy strips.
It became a pot of brown sugar glutinous rice cake.
Because there was no time to boil the brown syrup, I slightly substituted it with white sugar syrup.
But the sweet taste is exactly the same.
The glutinous rice dumplings on the side have also been out of the pot long ago, divided into small bowls and small bowls, and each person has four or five in the bowl.
After a while.
A group of people sat around a round table in the room, noisily sitting in a circle.
Some eat dumplings, some eat dumplings with soup, and some eat cabbage and pork vermicelli.
The aroma of the food and the smiles on everyone's faces blended together happily.
At this time, children often cannot go to the table to eat because there is really no room for them.
They were carrying small bowls and walking around the adults.
Daya walked to Jiang Ning's side, pulled Jiang Ning's military coat, and said with shining eyes.
"Auntie, look! This is Da Ya's new clothes, a thick cotton-padded jacket~!"
After all, she was a four or five-year-old girl, and her excitement was written all over her face.
Erya also followed Daya and said happily together.
"Erya's too! New clothes too! New clothes with flowers!"
Jiang Ning looked at the floral cotton-padded jacket on Da Ya and Er Ya. It was thick, soft to the touch, and made of new cotton.
Liu Xiangmei has spent a lot of money.
After all, in the previous summer, she was reluctant to make a thin new skirt for Da Ya Er Ya.
"Da Ya Er Ya is wearing new clothes, do you feel warm?"
"Warm! Not cold at all."
"Neither cold nor cold!"
Daya and Erya said in unison.
The dark pupils on the faces of the two children were filled with excitement.
Erya held a small bowl and ate the last sweet glutinous rice dumpling. She licked her lips and sucked in the sweetness. The special feeling was still unfinished.
The corners of Da Ya's mouth were also stained with a bit of black sesame filling.
The two little guys confessed their love to Jiang Ning.
"Auntie, the dumplings you make are so delicious!"
"Auntie, it's sweet and delicious! You are so awesome!"
"Auntie, Da Ya wants to be like you in the future and can cook as many delicious dishes as possible."
"Auntie, Erya wants to eat a lot of delicious food!"
Jiang Ning was extremely amused by these two little guys.
She picked up the remaining brown sugar glutinous rice cake on the table and put it into the small bowls of the two little guys.
"This is also sweet, you can eat it."
"Auntie, you are so kind~"
Jiang Ning smiled and touched the tops of Daya and Erya's heads.
When she turned around, she found that the eyes of the sisters-in-law around her were all on her, staring at her.
Liu Xiangmei was the first to sigh.
"Sister Ning, you will be a good mother in the future."
"You said that Sister Ning is so fair, tender and dewy, and that Captain Qin is so handsome, how beautiful will their child be?"
"Maybe when they are born, they will be just like the glutinous rice dumplings we ate today. The meat is sizzling, white and tender..."
Mention children.
The sisters-in-law just opened up their chat boxes and had endless things to say.
The guys were chatting while eating, and the atmosphere was very lively.
In such small talk, naturally there is also indispensable gossip about Dong's family and Li's family.
Talking and talking.
When Jiang Ning came to his senses, the conversation turned to a special person.
That is - Gu Qingwan.
"Sister Ning, I remember that you are quite familiar with Boss Gu from the department store. Do you know about Boss Gu's previous marriage?"
"Of course Sister Ning knows this! The cheongsam that Boss Gu wore when he got married was made by Sister Ning herself. I've seen it once, and it's so beautiful, just like a movie star in an old movie."
"I also know. I heard that when Boss Gu got married, there were eighty-eight tables for the banquet alone, and all the piggies from all over the country were bought by their family."
"Wow...eighty-eight tables...how many guests did you entertain? How much did it cost?"
"Boss Gu's family has a big business and is not short of money at all. Besides, the people who are going to have a wedding banquet are all famous people. Can you not give me a red envelope?"
The original question was obviously for Jiang Ning.
But everyone was talking enthusiastically, and there was no chance for Jiang Ning to interrupt.
The sister-in-law who spoke first said with a mysterious face.
"You all know that Boss Gu is married, but do you know who Boss Gu is married to?"
As soon as this question came up.
Everyone fell silent instantly.
The sisters-in-law have indeed never heard of who Gu Qingwan is marrying.
Even Jiang Ning didn't know.
Jiang Ning guessed, "It should be the young master of which family?"
In this era, although free love is emphasized, there is no prejudice against matching.
But from a family like Gu Qingwan's, how could she marry an ordinary person casually?
Jiang Ning knew about Gu Qingwan's career ambitions.
She even thought that she would abandon her relationship and choose a business marriage.
After all, a useful husband is more important to her than a relationship.
After Jiang Ning was born.
The other sisters-in-law also nodded, confirming Jiang Ning's guess.
