"Ouch! How can you be so embarrassed? You little brat! You just know how to go out and cause mischief."
"Old Shen is not often in the army, so he probably wouldn't recognize anyone's children. He greets them all when he goes there."
Grandma Qin smiled and nodded: "No, I think Old Shen's wife is not only beautiful, but also a good person. She is worthy of Old Shen's vision."
"No, Lao Shen is very capable. She is the first in our army. The wife he chooses will definitely be right, just watch! Their family will definitely live a good life in the future."
Everyone sat down and chatted, and there was no rush to go to Qin Shuangshuang's house to find the child.
After all, they had good intentions and the children were fed, so it was useless to call them back. The favor was still owed.
More than a dozen children were eating when Shen Chenming brought the regimental leader and the regimental political commissar's family. The group leader's surname is Liu Xianhua. He is in his forties and looks very serious and unsmiling.
His wife is an obstetrician and gynecologist in a military hospital named Yang Ping.
The political commissar of the regiment is a good old man, his surname is Feng, and he is also in his forties. His lover is a beautiful aunt who is an officer of the art troupe.
There is also a very nice name, Chen Jieru.
They didn't bring their children, so the couple came by themselves. The children are all grown up, why are they here? How embarrassing.
Many others came, some came as couples, some came on their own, and there were several children who must be in primary school.
Shen Chenming greeted the men, and Qin Shuangshuang greeted the women and children.
After the more than ten children at the table just finished eating dumplings, they were arranged to watch TV in the room. They watched cartoons, which the children particularly liked.
Lili arranged for the children to sit on the sofa in a neat manner like a little adult. Those who had no place to sit took the initiative to stand on the edge of the sofa.
"Auntie said, don't watch TV too close to the TV, your eyes will be damaged. We have to protect our eyes and stand far away from the TV, you know?"
Qin Shuangshuang came in to get the pickled radish shreds from the refrigerator. After hearing this, he gave a thumbs up to Lili: "Yes, we Lili are smart. We even remember what our aunt said."
A table of men outside had already started eating. Shen Chenming greeted them, poured them wine, lit cigarettes, and sat down to chat and eat.
The women were more reserved, sitting and talking, no one moved their chopsticks, as if they were waiting for Qin Shuangshuang.
The children at the table were also eating happily, praising them as they ate.
"Ah! How is this braised pork made? It's so fragrant! My tongue almost swallowed it along with the meat."
"I think this fish is delicious. It's charred on the outside and tender on the inside. It also has the aroma of garlic sprouts. It's particularly delicious. My mother and grandma don't know how to cook this kind of fish. I need to ask Uncle Shen's aunt for advice."
"The bone radish soup is delicious. I drank a big bowl full of it, and I will ask my mother to make it for me in the future. Bones don't cost much, so I can definitely drink it every day."
Listening to the children's words, the women at the table next to them all looked at each other and smiled.
Qin Shuangshuang came out with pickled radish shreds and placed a bowl on each table.
The children were the most curious. They picked up the shredded radish and took a bite. Everyone was amazed after eating it.
"Isn't this shredded radish so delicious? It's ice cold, crispy, a little spicy, a little sour, and a little sweet."
"Wow! It's really delicious. These dumplings are also different from what I eat at home. The meat inside feels so tender and juicy."
"Auntie! Teach my mother how to make this shredded pickled radish. If she has this skill, I will be blessed in the future."
As soon as Qin Shuangshuang turned around, she was stopped by a child, yelling that she had to teach someone how to cook.
The child's mother stood up and scolded him: "It's your fault. You talk so much nonsense. Your Aunt Qin has been tired for a long day. Where can I find a Kung Fu teacher?"
Seeing the embarrassment on the child's face, Qin Shuangshuang quickly came to the rescue: "If you're not tired, why not just pickle shredded radish! I'll teach you."
As he spoke, he took the bowls and chopsticks, sat down with a few women, and invited everyone to eat.
"It's the first day I'm meeting you sisters-in-law. I don't know your names. My name is Qin Shuangshuang. Can you each introduce yourself? I might as well say hello if we meet on the way back."
The one who had just trained the child was the first to speak: "My name is Wu Yingying, from the countryside."
"My name is Yang Ping."
"My name is Chen Jieru."
These two people had already met Qin Shuangshuang just now, but they just introduced themselves again to cooperate with everyone.
"My name is He Xiaojuan, and I am also from the countryside."
"I am Zhu Yun, from Haicheng."
"I am Liu Shuying, and I am also from the countryside."
After the six people introduced themselves, Qin Shuangshuang told them how to pickle shredded radish to make it delicious.
She said it carefully, eliciting howls.
"Oh! No wonder our children said the pickled radish I made was not delicious and was bitter, so it turned out that water had to be added to it! Oh! Your shredded radish doesn't have any bitter taste at all. I'll remember it, and I'll need to add water to it from now on."
"I know about killing water, but I didn't add sugar or vinegar. It's really not as delicious as adding it. I learned from it. I'll make it tomorrow and see."
"Yes, I do it too, just follow the instructions of my siblings. It will definitely be delicious."
The men's table were also amazed at Qin Shuangshuang's cooking skills. Captain Liu was the first to notice: "Shen Chenming! Your dumplings are well made and the fillings taste very different. Your wife's skills are very good."
Shen Chenming smiled and looked back at the little girl who was joking with the sisters-in-law, pointing to a large table of dishes with a smile in her eyes.
"These are all made by my wife. I am not a fan of her cooking skills. You will know after eating them."
"Really? Your wife made all these dishes by herself? You can't tell. She's not very old and she makes dumplings well." Captain Liu asked jokingly, "Can your wife teach the chef in the cafeteria how to make dumplings?" ?”
"No." Shen Chenming refused without thinking, and told Captain Liu mysteriously, "My wife's dumpling-making skills are passed down from her ancestors. She has a secret recipe and is not passed down easily."
The political commissar of the regiment laughed cheerfully on the side: "Shen Chenming! Just brag! Or is it a secret recipe passed down from ancestors? Why didn't you say it was a secret recipe from the palace?"
Shen Chenming thought for a while and replied: "Maybe it's true."
"Hahaha! Hahaha!..."
A large table of people were amused by him. The political commissar of the regiment picked up a piece of braised pork, put it into his mouth, took a bite, his eyes widened, and used chopsticks to pick up a piece for Captain Liu.
"Try it! This craftsmanship is really good."
Captain Liu picked it up and took a bite, then nodded: "Not bad, not bad, Chenming! I really asked your wife to teach you the master chef in the cafeteria.
We eat in the cafeteria all year round, and we have never had such delicious braised pork. If the chef in the cafeteria could make such delicious meat, he would feed many people. "
Shen Chenming waved his hands and said nonsense seriously: "You can't teach this, it's also a secret recipe passed down from ancestors."
"If I don't tell you, you will fool me. I'll tell my wife." After finishing the meat in his mouth, Captain Liu stretched his neck and called to his lover, "Old Yang! Please tell Comrade Xiao Qin, this How to make braised pork. If it’s really a secret recipe handed down from our ancestors, forget it. If not, let her teach you.”
