Chapter 135: Let's have dinner together
Zhou Tinghao was not angry when he heard what Xiaolin said. Instead, he followed her happily and prepared to go back to the yard together.
On the way back, he was shameless and kept praising himself for all his strengths and said a lot of sweet words.
Happy times always pass quickly. After a while, they had walked into the yard. When they returned to the Youth League Home, they saw Lin Zhiqiang standing in the yard with a depressed look on his face, drying the medicinal herbs he had just cooked.
Lin Sitian looked carefully and found that her brother had indeed only prepared the medicinal ingredient she mentioned. At a glance, the medicinal ingredient had been almost minced.
Thinking that it was not long before the end of the work, he asked his friends who were still working to help him prepare some simple medicinal materials.
He pulled the person into the pile of herbs, pointed at one of them and told him how to prepare it:
"This is licorice. Wash it for me, remove any impurities, and place it in a plate or basin. Use the towel I keep at the pharmacy to wet it, then cover the container with the licorice. Let it soak through for about 10 minutes. Once it's thoroughly soaked, cut it into thick slices and place them in the clean sieves to dry in the sun."
After hearing his mission, Zhou Tinghao stood at attention, saluted the white dough, and said loudly:
"Yes, I promise to complete the mission!"
Lin Sitian looked at the serious look of the man in front of her, rolled her eyes speechlessly, and said to her brother:
"Brother, once you're done with yours, come help your brother. After all, you two have such a close relationship that you're willing to give your sister to him (?ˉ??ˉ??)."
When Lin Zhiqiang heard his sister say this, he felt that the two of them must be together, otherwise his sister would not say such things so casually.
Lin Zhiqiang seemed to be unable to hear the resentment in his sister's words. Instead, he said to her cheerfully:
"Okay, since you said so, I will definitely go to help my brother-in-law (?ˉ??ˉ??)."
Lin Sitian was speechless at her brother's answer and replied angrily:
"Okay, brother, since you've decided he's your brother-in-law, then you can treat the educated youth in my yard to a meal today, and leave your brother-in-law with us to introduce him to the educated youth in my yard."
When Zhou Tinghao heard that he was going to be introduced to the educated youth in the white dough yard, he spoke quickly without waiting for Lin Zhiqiang to answer:
"Xiaolin sister, you go and fix it. I'll treat you. This meal is my treat, and you don't have to pay for it!"
The tone was so excited that his voice almost split. It was so loud that even Lin Sitian was startled. After she came to her senses, she said nothing and walked back to her room, preparing to take some things from the room to the kitchen.
Seeing that Bai Dianzi had left without replying, Zhou Tinghao was a little at a loss. He quickly put down the licorice in his hand and ran to Lin Zhiqiang to ask:
"Brother, what do you think our little sister Lin means? Do you want me to treat you or not?
Actually, I really want to treat the educated youth in this courtyard to a meal. After all, whether it's the news I heard from my father, what you told me, or what I saw with my own eyes, all of these have made me know that the educated youth in this courtyard are of good character. And now..."
Lin Zhiqiang looked at the regimental commander who had the final say in the army and was now asking him so cautiously. At this moment, Lin Zhiqiang felt a little happy in his heart, but he still asked seriously:
"If you really want to treat the people in this courtyard to a meal, and to be frank, the food in this courtyard is very good, wouldn't your family say anything if you took out dozens of dollars at once?"
Hearing Lin Zhiqiang's question, Zhou Tinghao patted his chest and assured:
"Brother, don't worry. I send half of my salary home every month, and keep the other half for myself. I have quite a bit of money saved, so you don't have to worry about these things.
Besides, my parents really like Xiaolin Daiyu. If I go back and tell them that I want to treat the educated youth from their compound to a meal as Xiaolin Daiyu's boyfriend, my parents will be so happy that they will not only support me but also give me money.
Lin Zhiqiang was quite satisfied with the answer. After all, if there is a miscommunication regarding money, problems may arise in the future.
If the family is stingy, and they have a bad impression of their sister because of a meal, their sister will suffer when she gets married in the future.
It’s better to find out in advance. Now after hearing the answer from my friend, well, it’s good. It seems that this is not a family with short vision.
As he was thinking, he looked at Zhou Tinghao who was still anxiously waiting for his answer. Lin Zhiqiang patted him on the shoulder and said:
"Okay, go get those herbs. Even if my sister doesn't pay for this meal, you won't know what good and expensive gift to give her when we leave.
This way I can make up for it. Don’t think you can just skip this wave of my sister without asking for money. Otherwise, if I find out, I’ll be in trouble!
After hearing this, Zhou Tinghao seemed to have taken a reassurance pill, and happily went to the medicinal materials, answering as he went:
"Okay, brother, I understand. I'll go prepare the herbs right away."
The two people here were chatting happily and busy drying various medicinal herbs. On the other side, Lin Sitian returned to the room and sat on a stool thinking about how to treat those educated youth to a meal.
If you really want to treat me to a meal, it wouldn't be nice if the food is too shabby, but if I take out the food from my own space, it would be difficult to explain where it came from.
After thinking it over, she used her mind to return to the space, went to the space warehouse and took a look. Finally, she decided to take out from the space: 10 kilograms of rice, kilograms of white flour, large apples and pears, and half a kilogram of various mixed candies.
After thinking about it, I took these things to the kitchen. There was smoked meat made from the wild game I had hunted in the mountains in the kitchen anyway.
Anyway, those wild game were hunted by myself and paid for by myself, so I can use them to treat guests. This way I can save some meat. After all, if I take the fresh meat from the space, it will be difficult to explain the source.
When Lin Sitian walked out of the room with some items she brought out from the space and prepared to go to the kitchen, on the way to the kitchen, she first turned a corner and went to the room where she usually ate and placed apples, pears and those mixed candies on the table where she usually ate.
Then he took the rest of the things to the kitchen. After thinking about it, he scooped out a few bowls of rice and prepared to start washing and cooking.
When washing rice, I specially poured the rice washing water into a separate basin and prepared to keep it aside so that I could use it to wash my hair after dinner in the evening.
After washing the rice, put it into the pot and prepare to cook. After lighting the fire, I deliberately used large pieces of firewood. I only need to add firewood occasionally and I don’t have to watch over the fire.
Since she didn't have to watch over the fire, she went to the kitchen where bacon was hung and took out a pheasant and a rabbit to make spicy chicken and stewed rabbit.
While she was washing the pheasant and rabbit, Bai Zhiqing came back. The moment Bai Wanting came back and stepped into the yard, she saw Lin Zhiqiang and Zhou Tinghao fiddling with medicinal herbs in the yard. Although she was stunned for a moment, she didn't say anything, but walked towards the kitchen.
When Bai Wanting walked into the kitchen, she saw the usually well-behaved little girl squatting down to wash and smoke the chicken. There seemed to be something cooking in the pot. The pot was covered and she didn't know what was cooking. She saw a fire burning in the stove.
When Lin Sitian saw Bai Wanting coming back, she knew it was almost time to get off work, after all, Bai Zhiqing had come back to prepare dinner.
After thinking about her own plan and the two big men busy in the yard, Lin Sitian stood up and said to Bai Wanting:
"Sister Bai, you are finally back. I am still a little hectic when cooking by myself. I have only cooked rice in the pot and haven't prepared the rest yet.
I took out 10 kilograms of rice and 5 kilograms of flour from my room, as well as this chicken and rabbit, which I had gotten from the mountains before. Now I took them out to treat the sisters and brothers in the yard to a meal.
Sister Bai, come and help me. We can cook together and make it quick so they can have dinner when they come back."
Bai Wanting saw that there were indeed some rice and flour on the table, and the quality of the rice and flour was top-notch, as if she had bought them from the old lady in the town on weekdays.
Bai Wanting was quite surprised why Xiao Lin, the educated youth, suddenly wanted to invite everyone in the yard to dinner, and brought out so many things. One meal could not possibly contain so much rice and flour, not to mention two dishes of meat.
Thinking of this, he asked, "Xiao Lin, why did you suddenly think of inviting the educated youth in the courtyard to dinner? It's not a festival, and ten kilograms of rice, five kilograms of flour, plus a pheasant and a wild rabbit, this is too much.
"Xiao Lin, I really treat you as a good sister. There's really no need to treat you to so many delicious things for a meal. You don't want to eat them. Hibernation means you have to stay in your room all winter to eat. The more you stock up, the better. You should take some back!"
Lin Sitian listened to Bai Wanting's caring words, so she stood up, shook the water droplets in her hands, and said coquettishly to Bai Zhiqing in front of her:
"Oh, Sister Bai, I know. I know my limits. If I couldn't bear it, I wouldn't have given so much.
And don't worry, I didn't pay for these things, the two men outside paid for them, so you can do it without worry!"
When Bai Wanting heard this, she thought about the man who was busy with the medicinal herbs outside. She bumped into Lin Sitian in a somewhat ambiguous way and asked her:
"Hey, you're talking about those two guys outside, but you're also referring to Zhou Tinghao~
Yo, yo, yo, why did he invite us to dinner in the courtyard? Is it~~Hehehe..."
Lin Sitian was actually a little embarrassed, but looking at Bai Wanting's smile, she still said unhappily:
"Why are you asking so many questions? They're treating you to meat, and you're still asking questions.
Let’s cook quickly. It would be bad if they don’t have food to eat when they come back.
I tell you, I will tell you the answer you want to know when everyone comes back. I will tell you all the answers during dinner~"
Hearing Lin Sitian's answer, Bai Wanting knew that it must be the answer she had in mind. She smiled ambiguously and prepared to cook. While looking for the seasonings, she smiled and said:
"Okay, Xiaolin sister, since someone is inviting us to dinner, we should respectfully obey. I'll go cook right away~"
