Chapter 161 Mid-Autumn Festival Dinner

The feast prepared by Su Zhuzhu was quite rich, which was totally incomparable to what He Qiaojin and the others had to endure while sleeping in the open air.

Su Zhuzhu’s signature dish, boiled fish, is a must. It is made from the big black fish that Ping An sent early on and has been raised for several days.

Lin Wu caught some pheasants and wild rabbits on the way here. Su Zhuzhu had also dried some mushrooms before, so pheasant stewed with mushrooms had to be arranged. She also made spicy rabbit meat, which everyone liked very much.

I braised pork heads and ears early this morning. After they were braised, they were let cool and sliced. I mixed them with the seasoning and chili oil prepared by Su Zhuzhu, as well as coriander and peanuts. I had two cold dishes, which were ready for everyone to eat with wine.

The big pig's trotters were also stewed, braised in brown sauce, in a big pot, enough for everyone.

This time, Su Zhuzhu chopped the pork ribs and stewed them with taro. Water taro is abundant in H Province. Every household will plant some by the field and in the ditch. The small taro will be peeled and white and tender. It is stewed with pork ribs. Su Zhuzhu can finish two bowls of pink taro at a time. Compared with dry taro, this water taro is so delicious.

In addition to these main dishes, Su Zhuzhu also used the sauerkraut and dried chili peppers sent by the aunties in the team to stir-fry a large plate of sauerkraut fried with large intestines and a plate of tofu mixed with green onions.

Finally, there are seasonal river delicacies, a big pot of spicy crabs and a big plate of crayfish. Unfortunately, the river crabs here are not hairy crabs, with more shells and less meat, so Su Zhuzhu fried them all and made them spicy for a taste.

Also, the crayfish season is almost over. It is hard to catch lobsters now, and their shells are very hard when they are old. But with Su Zhuzhu's craftsmanship, it will definitely be delicious. This is a classic.

Then stir-fry a big pot of vegetables, filling up the entire table, the portion is surprisingly large.

But Su Zhuzhu was sure that nothing would be wasted. These grown men were big eaters. They usually ate a lot, but when she cooked, their appetite would double. And with the addition of Lin Wu, who was a big eater, it would be a huge deal.

So Liu Yuanyuan, who was very experienced, had already cooked a large pot of rice in the big pot in the kitchen of the Youth League Institute.

Lin Wu knew that he could live a good life with Zhu Zhu. He hadn't had such a good meal for a few days. Last time he came to see his brother Qiao Jin off, he didn't even get a meal because his brother sent him back to the army. He must eat well today!

Just looking at such a large table of dishes, everyone was drooling. To be honest, it has been a while since I have tasted Su Zhuzhu's cooking. Fortunately, there are two large square tables put together, otherwise there would not be enough space.

As soon as the last dish of stir-fried vegetables was served, everyone rushed over and sat down. They had been smelling the delicious aroma for a long time and were already starving.

Although everyone's living standards have improved thanks to the three factories in the brigade and they no longer have to worry about food and drink, they are usually busy working and enthusiastic about building a new countryside, so such gatherings with sumptuous food and fish are rare.

This was a rare opportunity, so everyone raised their glasses. Zheng Qiwen was the first to shout out, and everyone started celebrating enthusiastically. Shouts of "Happy Mid-Autumn Festival" echoed in the courtyard of the Youth Institute, and there was constant laughter and joy.

The male colleagues drank the Moutai that Su Zhuzhu took out from the space. The excuse was that He Qiaojin brought it and specifically asked them to take it out for everyone to drink during the festival to make people happy. The female comrades undoubtedly drank the fruit juice produced in their own factory. There wasn't much else at the moment, but they had to have enough fruit juice.

Boiled fish was as popular as ever and has become Su Zhuzhu's signature dish.

The people at the table praised the deliciousness of the dish, saying that they had never eaten such delicious pork ribs stewed with taro. Su Zhuzhu accepted everyone's praise with a smile and told everyone that this was a new dish she had learned.

Everyone's eyes fell on the braised pork knuckle again, the red sauce skin exuding an enticing aroma.

"This is a delicious dish I specially prepared for everyone," said Su Zhu.

Lin Wu couldn't wait to pick up a piece and put it in his mouth. He praised the rich but not greasy taste.

Others also started to taste this delicious dish.

After tasting the braised pig's trotters, everyone reached out for the spicy diced rabbit meat, a dish everyone had eaten several times. Some people were so spicy that they stuck out their tongues, but they couldn't help eating one bite after another; some people were sweating profusely, but their faces were filled with satisfied smiles.

Su Zhuzhu smiled. Seeing everyone enjoying their meal, she felt very happy too.

At this time, a young female educated youth suddenly stood up and said excitedly: "I propose that we toast Zhuzi together to thank her for preparing such a sumptuous meal for us!"

Everyone responded and raised their wine glasses or drink glasses.

“Thank you everyone, and may our friendship last forever!”

"Zhuzhu, your cooking skills are amazing!" Zheng Qiwen praised vaguely while eating boiled fish.

Other colleagues also echoed this, saying that they never get tired of eating this dish.

Lin Wu felt happy seeing everyone enjoying the meal. He glanced at Su Zhuzhu and saw a happy smile on her face.

At this time, someone suggested: "Zhuzhu, you should open a restaurant in the future. I guarantee that the business will be booming!"

"Yes, yes, let's all come and show our support!" everyone responded.

Su Zhuzhu smiled and said, "My cooking skills are just average, so I can't open a restaurant. But if you like it, I can cook it for you often."

Everyone was just joking. Everyone knew that Su Zhuzhu was the soul of the Youth Institute. How could she open a restaurant? She would have great luck in the future! After that, everyone started to enjoy the delicious dishes again, and laughter filled the whole yard.

After the lesbians finished their meal, the comrades were still drinking wine with cold dishes. No one left because it was the full moon, a good time for them to get together and chat and relax.

In the past, I always heard people say that going to the countryside is hard and tiring, and that the villagers are difficult to get along with, and that you may even lose your life if you are not careful. Unexpectedly, they were so lucky to come to the Red Star Brigade, which really deserves the name of Red Star! This trip really made everyone achieve the great goal of building a new countryside.

Seeing that everyone was in a good mood, Su Zhuzhu thought it was time to give everyone some fresh air.
