Xu Wantang started to work after she got home. The other military wives did not let Xu Wantang work alone. They all helped enthusiastically. Some helped pick vegetables, some helped wash vegetables, and some helped prepare vegetables...
What was originally a huge workload was quickly completed by everyone.
Xu Wantang did not bother them with the rest of the cooking process. She did it herself. After all, Xu Wantang was the one who entertained the guests and could not let the guests do everything.
Xu Wantang worked very neatly, and the dishes were brought to the table one after another.
"Oh my god! Did you do this?" Chen Yue stared at the orange-colored squirrel-shaped squirrel mandarin fish and asked directly.
Xu Wantang knew that she had no bad intentions, so she would not be angry. She said jokingly, "What else? Either I used magic to create it, or I did it myself. Which one do you think is more acceptable to you?"
Chen Yue stared at Xu Wantang's narrowed smiling eyes without blinking, and sighed in her heart: This person seems to be discharged even when she smiles. If she can do magic, it really makes sense. After all, she looks like this. Like a fairy daughter.
"Sister Xiaotang, you are so awesome! I have only eaten such beautiful dishes once in a state-owned restaurant with your brother-in-law!" Luo Xiaojuan also praised.
The other military wives didn't take their eyes off the food on the table, looking at it eagerly.
While they were waiting in the room, they smelled the aroma coming from the kitchen. Now the dishes that only appeared at the banquet were right in front of them, and their mouths were watering!
"Sister Xiaojuan, stop boasting. How about you pick up the chopsticks and try it?" Xu Wantang said, then took off her apron and sat at the table.
Now that the master had spoken, the other military wives were not polite. They picked up their chopsticks and picked up vegetables in their own bowls.
For a moment, apart from the sounds of chewing and swallowing, there was only the sound of satisfaction from the throat.
The military wives were already surprised the moment the food was served, but the moment they put the food into their mouths, they were surprised again.
The squirrel mandarin fish soup is rich in juice, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. It is neither too sour nor too sweet. The soup and fish flavor are perfectly combined, and you still want to eat it after one bite.
The other home-cooked dishes are also very delicious, no matter the color, aroma or taste.
When everyone was half full, they were willing to stop eating and started chatting while eating.
"Sister Xiaotang, your skills are so good. Have you ever learned how to do it? You can compete with the great chefs in state-owned restaurants!" one of the military wives said.
Xu Wantang had learned it in her last life, but not in this life, so she nodded and said vaguely, "I guess, but I haven't learned it systematically."
"That's amazing! You have such good skills at such a young age! If you have such skills, it will be no problem to apply for a job in a state-owned hotel or open a small restaurant!" One of the military wives vowed.
Xu Wantang just smiled and said nothing.
If it were her in the previous life, she would have listened to these words. After all, her first goal was to make money to support her children and family.
But now Xu Wantang is not very interested in it. Working as a chef and doing business are too tiring. In her previous life, she experienced it. At the end of the day, she only felt that every pore was soaked in oil smoke, and she was shaking in her dreams.
Now that she has a courtyard house and has invested in Huang Ruicheng, she will most likely not have to worry about it in the rest of her life, nor will she have to work as hard as she did in her previous life.
The only thing to worry about is the expenses during this period. The value of Siheyuan is not rising so fast. Huang Ruicheng will not come back from abroad within a few months. The money invested will not return in the short term, so Xu Wantang has recently been thinking about paying more attention. Is there any easy job to do on the island?
She was too tired in her last life, and now she just wants to lie down.
The food on the table was almost "swept away" by the military wives, but luckily Luo Xiaojuan reminded her, "Don't eat it all, leave some for the children!"
After being reminded, the military wives with children recovered from the delicious food and then remembered that there were still children at home who had not eaten!
The military wives packed up the remaining dishes into several small portions and sent them home so that their children could have a satisfying meal.
The military wives were very generous. After watching their children finish eating, they even came back to help Xu Wantang clean up the dining table and kitchen.
Xu Wantang refused at first, but after all, she was no match for several military wives, and she soon "surrendered".
Several women chatted about household chores together and worked together. In this way, working was no longer a difficult task, and after a while, the house became tidy again.
Women who can talk about going together always have endless topics to talk about when they get together. After cleaning up, a few people chatted again. By the time everyone came to their senses, the sun was almost setting, and then everyone went back to their homes.

Wang Lanying was sweating profusely this afternoon. She was busy all by herself, buying vegetables, preparing vegetables, and cooking... She wished she could grow more hands!
It's not that her sister Wang Lanxiang doesn't help her, her sister is not idle either. She has clothes to wash and housework to do, so she doesn't have time to help her.
Wang Lanying wiped the sweat from her head, thinking of the person in her heart eating her food, and remembering that she was better than that fairy-like woman. She felt that no matter how tired she was, no matter how much she sweated, it was worth it!
When Wang Lanying finished it in a hurry, it was already very late. She didn't even change her clothes or wash her face, so she hurried outside.
It's time for the officers to go home! If she misses Lu Yunzheng, her whole afternoon's work will be in vain!
Wang Lanying stood at the fork in the road biting her lips and looking around. Suddenly, her eyes lit up and she ran forward quickly and stopped in front of the tall man.
"Lu, Captain Lu, my family is cooking tonight, are you coming?" Wang Lanying couldn't help but stutter as she stared at that handsome face. By the time she finished saying this, her face had already Blushed with embarrassment.
As soon as Wang Lanying finished speaking, the officers beside him couldn't help but scream.
"Sister Yingzi, why did you invite Lu Tuan?"
"That's right! We're still here!"
"Lu Tuan and his wife are going home for dinner. There are many unmarried young men in the cafeteria. How about I ask for you?"
Wang Lanying's face turned even redder. She lowered her head and did not dare to look at the officers on the opposite side. She muttered in a low voice, "Big, everyone can go."
"Sorry." Lu Yunzheng frowned and refused simply. After speaking, he ignored the person in front of him.
Wang Lanying pursed her lips, looked at the man's back, and said loudly, "Captain Lu! The food in the cafeteria is not as delicious as home-cooked food! Sister Xiaotang probably doesn't know how to cook, but I am very good at it. You …”
Before she could finish speaking, she was interrupted by someone.
