1959Siheyuan, a Turnaround

Chapter 338 Hospitality

It was noon, and the Li family's yard was filled with the aroma of food and was very lively.

At this moment, the two tables were filled with people, and laughter and joy were intertwined.

On the two tables, several enamel basins were placed in the middle, filled with mouth-watering dishes.

The braised pheasant pieces are bright red in color and shiny with oil. Each piece of chicken is stewed until it is very soft and the meat falls off the bone with a light bite.

The secret stewed rabbit meat is tender and melts in your mouth. The unique secret sauce seeps into every fiber of the meat, leaving you with an endless aftertaste.

The broth of the Golden Soup Pickled Fish is golden and attractive. The sourness of the pickled cabbage and the freshness of the fish are perfectly blended. The slight spicy taste stimulates the taste buds. It is a new flavor that is sour and spicy and is particularly appetizing.

The freshness of stir-fried beans and the crispness of cold-mixed cucumbers add a different color to the richness of the table.

The large basket next to it was filled with multi-grain steamed buns made by the Li family themselves.

The steamed buns had just come out of the pot, they were steaming and emitting a sweet aroma.

At the men's table, Grandpa Li and He Daqing sat in the main seats, while Li Dajiang, Li Dahe, and Li Dahu sat around with Sha Zhu.

He Daqing raised his glass, smiling, his eyes full of sincerity, and said, "Come on, everyone, raise your glasses. Today, I would like to borrow the wine from the Li family to thank the Li family for taking care of Sha Zhu over the years. Thanks to your help, Sha Zhu was able to marry Lan Xiang, and I have a grandson. Brother Li, I sincerely thank you!"

Grandpa Li quickly waved his hands and responded with a hearty smile: "You are too polite. We are all family. There is no need to be so formal. Stop talking like that and let's drink." After that, Grandpa Li drank the wine in the glass in one gulp as a show of respect.

Others responded and drank it all in one gulp, and the wine cups made a crisp sound when placed on the table.

Seeing this, Li Dahu hurriedly filled the glasses of everyone at the table.

Then, everyone started to taste the dishes made by He Daqing, and they couldn't help but exclaim in praise when they tasted them.

"This golden soup pickled fish is really amazing! I've never tasted anything like it before, sour and spicy, and the fish is very tender."

Li Dahu picked up a piece of fish and praised it while eating.

"Yes, and this stewed rabbit meat is really delicious. Brother He's cooking skills are really amazing."

Li Dahe also echoed, his eyes full of love for the food.

He Daqing responded with a smile: "Haha, as long as everyone likes it, I'm just afraid it won't suit your taste."

Li Dajiang also echoed and said: "Well, Uncle He's craftsmanship is still so good. Uncle He was the foreman in the factory back then, and the leaders all praised Uncle He's craftsmanship!"

"It's rare for Daqing to cook. I have to eat more today."

Grandpa Li picked up a piece of fish, put it in his mouth, and his eyes lit up involuntarily.

"Well, it really lives up to its reputation. The fish meat is tender and delicious, and it tastes a little sour and spicy. It's really appetizing."

"Uncle Li, I have just learned how to make this golden soup pickled fish dish. I will try to make it for you guys later!"

"Okay, okay, we'll be in luck as long as Zhuzi is with us!"

The table filled with children next to it was as lively as a small market.

The children sat in the middle, while the women, including Wang Guifang, Wang Dahahua, Chen Lanxiang, and Chen Suzhi, stood on the periphery, taking care of the children's meals while eating quickly themselves.

Faced with the delicious food on the table, the children's eyes lit up and they ate with their mouths drooling.

The children couldn't stop talking while eating and would comment on everything they ate.

"I think the braised chicken nuggets are the best, the meat is so fragrant."

Li Weimin had chicken stuffed in his mouth and spoke incoherently, totally unlike his usual adult self.

"I like rabbit meat. It tastes so special. I have never eaten such delicious rabbit meat."

Li Weihua retorted, still tightly grasping a piece of rabbit meat in his hand.

Li Weidong's eyes sparkled as he said excitedly, "I think the golden broth pickled fish is the best."

With his mouth full of meat, Li Weijun gave an official comment: "I like all these dishes!"

Li Weiqiang and Li Weibang both nodded in agreement. Their eyes were fixed on the meat and dishes on the table, and they chewed quickly, not having time to talk at all.

With such delicious food in front of you, talking is a waste of time.

As a pseudo-young man who has seen and eaten all this, Li Weiguo also thinks that He Daqing's cooking skills are superb.

If He Daqing's cooking skills were put into practice in modern times, he would definitely be able to make a lot of money by opening a specialty restaurant.

He Yushui didn't say anything. He was just gnawing on the meat, his cheeks bulging like a greedy little hamster.

Chen Lanxiang watched from the side, picking up food for her from time to time, and said with a smile: "Eat slowly, don't choke, no one is going to snatch the food from you."

Grandma Li held Shazhu's child in her arms and stood aside, watching the lively scene, her eyes full of love.

The women all wanted to finish their meal quickly so that Grandma Li could come over to eat.

But Grandma Li kept telling them, "Guifang, don't be impatient. Eat slowly. I'm not hungry now. It's such a delicious dish. You guys should eat more."

It was a pleasant meal.

The men clinked glasses and after three rounds, everyone's face was slightly flushed, their laughter became more hearty, and they drank so comfortably.

The women took care of the children and fed them.

The children were like a group of hungry little wolves, eating up everything in no time.

After a while, the children were full and their little bellies were round.

Looking at the food on the table, it was almost gone.

However, the attentive Wang Guifang and Wang Dahua had already made preparations. They had already picked out a special dish for the old lady from each vegetable bowl, put it in a clean bowl, and waited for Grandma Li to come and eat.

After the meal, Wang Guifang, Wang Dahua and Chen Suzhi cleaned up the dishes neatly.

The children were like a group of cheerful little birds. Led by Li Weimin, they chirped and went out for a walk.

But Li Weiguo stayed, standing quietly aside, listening attentively to He Daqing's talk about his next plan.

He Daqing's mood at this time was very different from the past, especially after seeing his eldest grandson, the warmth in his heart was completely awakened, and he therefore had the idea of ​​staying.

He did not hide anything from the Li family. With a relieved smile on his face, he said, "To be honest, I am relieved to be able to resolve the misunderstanding between father and son in front of you today. I also feel that I am getting old. I am different from before. I used to have some passion for adventure, but now I just want to stay with my children."

At this point, He Daqing paused, a sharp flash in his eyes: "As for Baocheng, I must go and investigate in person to find out what happened back then. And Yi Zhonghai, he said this morning that he wanted to sit with me. I think it won't be long before he comes to visit me. By then, everything will be clear. Humph, since Yi Zhonghai is plotting against me like this, I'm not someone you can easily mess with. I want to see how shameless he is."

Li Dajiang frowned slightly and expressed his opinion: "Uncle He, from the information I have so far, Yi Zhonghai is not that simple. In order not to alert the enemy, you just need to achieve your goal today."

He Daqing glanced at Li Dajiang and nodded thoughtfully, indicating that he already knew.
