In the courtyard, everyone is afraid of the little boy who is so smart!

In this supply and marketing cooperative, everything is going on in an orderly manner.

Although He Yushui was in the kitchen at this time, carefully preparing the meal for Director Song and Director Liu, he left the "front battlefield" of the supply and marketing cooperative to others.

But in fact, He Yushui has practiced every sales link and every detailed process with her sisters countless times.

From the placement of goods, to how to politely receive customers, to pricing, collection of payments and other operations, everyone has already mastered them by heart.

Therefore, even if He Yushui is not sitting at the counter of the supply and marketing cooperative at the moment, she is confident that her colleagues will not make any mistakes and everything will run smoothly according to the established regulations.

Turning our eyes to He Yushui's kitchen, we saw her like an elegant and busy dancer, performing a culinary feast alone amidst the smoke and fireworks.

Starting with washing the fresh vegetables, her slender fingers gently brushed across each leaf, washing away the dirt and impurities.

Next comes the meticulous vegetable selection process, precisely removing the inedible parts, leaving only the freshest and most delicious ingredients.

Then comes the key steps of cooking: lighting the fire, heating the pan, pouring oil, all done skillfully and smoothly, in one go.

When the ingredients were put into the pot, there was a "sizzling" sound and the aroma instantly spread. He Yushui held the spatula.

He kept stir-frying and seasoning, with such concentration on his face that it seemed as if the whole world was only focused on this dish in front of him.

When served, each dish looks delicious and looks like a piece of exquisite work of art.

During this busy process, Wang Jianguo saw He Yushui busy and confused several times. He couldn't bear it, so he took the initiative to step forward and lend a hand to help her.

However, He Yushui stubbornly drove him out of the kitchen. She had her own persistence and perseverance in her heart.

Perhaps she was worried that others would not be able to accurately grasp the amount of seasoning, or perhaps she was afraid that others would disrupt the rhythm she had long been accustomed to.

Or maybe she wanted to use her own strength to carefully cook a table of delicious food full of sincerity for the important guests.

In short, she was alone in this small kitchen space, sweating and busy and devoting herself to this special reception with full enthusiasm and superb cooking skills.

Wang Jianguo saw that He Yushui had made up his mind and had no intention of letting him help. Helplessly, he shook his head and turned around to take care of other things.

For He Yushui, cooking is not just for filling her stomach, it is something she loves from the bottom of her heart.

In her eyes, the kitchen is her stage, pots and pans are her instruments, and with her careful preparation, the ingredients will be transformed into delicious pieces of music.

For the entire morning, she was busy shuttling back and forth in the kitchen.

Sometimes he bends over the stove to add firewood, and sometimes he stands in front of the chopping board carefully cutting ingredients. He is so busy that he never stops but he enjoys it.

Before I knew it, six exquisite dishes were neatly placed aside.

Look, that pot of chicken stewed with mushrooms, the tender chicken is paired with plump mushrooms, stewed in rich soup and filled with fragrance.

The freshness of the chicken and the richness of the mushrooms blend perfectly, making you salivate just by smelling the flavor.

The stewed sauerkraut has an attractive color. After a long period of stewing, the unique sour taste of the sauerkraut has been fully stimulated. Mixed with a little pork belly, it is sour and delicious, which greatly increases people's appetite.

The braised fish is fried until both sides are golden brown, then poured with carefully prepared braised sauce. The fish skin is crispy and fragrant, the fish meat is tender and tasty, and the rich aroma floats in the air.

The scrambled eggs are golden, fluffy and soft, with a light egg aroma.

The potatoes and eggplants are stewed until they are soft and melt in your mouth. The flavors of the two ingredients permeate each other, which is simple and delicious.

Sugar-coated tomatoes are a refreshing dessert that relieves greasiness. The sourness and sweetness of tomatoes and the sweetness of sugar are intertwined together, giving it a rich taste.

There was also a plate of canned yellow peaches, which seemed particularly precious in that era of relative scarcity of supplies. The yellow peaches were soaked in crystal sugar water, exuding an attractive luster.

For those of us who live in modern society with abundant material resources, these meals may just be ordinary meals.

But in the countryside in the 60s, it was definitely the best meal that could be served when entertaining guests.

In that period when food was relatively scarce and supplies were tight, such a sumptuous table of dishes was a great success.

It not only reflects the host's respect and importance for the guests, but also is full of He Yushui's heart and enthusiasm.

Each dish carries the unique emotions and memories of that era, becoming a warm and precious bright spot in the long river of time.

After a busy period in the kitchen, He Yushui finally prepared the delicious dishes.

She took off her apron, tidied up her messy hair, and walked briskly to the supply and marketing cooperative in the front yard.

At this time in the supply and marketing cooperative, customers were still coming and going, and the guys were busy at their respective posts.

He Yushui searched the crowd and soon found Wang Jianguo.

She walked up, patted Wang Jianguo on the shoulder, and said with a smile:

"Brother Jianguo, the food is ready, we are just waiting for everyone to come and eat."

Upon hearing this, Wang Jianguo quickly put down the goods he was sorting and nodded in response:

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Yushui. I'll go get some help right away."

After saying that, he turned and walked towards the shelves of the supply and marketing cooperative and carefully selected some wines and beverages from the area where they were displayed.

Finally, he picked up a bottle of a famous local wine, which was not often drunk on weekdays and was only taken out when entertaining important guests.

Then, Wang Jianguo looked around and saw Cheng Hai and Cheng Si who were counting the goods not far away, so he shouted:

"Brother Cheng Hai, Fourth Uncle, let's go to the backyard to have dinner with Director Song and Director Liu."

When Cheng Hai heard the shout, he paused and a look of hesitation appeared on his face.

He lowered his head slightly, thought for a moment, then stepped forward and said awkwardly:

"Jianguo, you can just go with Fourth Uncle. I...I won't go. Look, they are all leaders. It's not appropriate for me to go with them to dinner."

"If you say or do something wrong at the dinner table, that would be bad and cause trouble for everyone."

There was a hint of uneasiness and restraint in Cheng Hai's eyes, and his hands were unconsciously rubbing the corners of his clothes. It was obvious that he felt a little nervous and unconfident in such an occasion.
