Chapter 517 New Year’s Eve
Sunuo didn't say anything, just smiled and nodded.
Everyone was busy picking vegetables. Some were responsible for washing them. Some were responsible for cutting them.
"Captain Lu, this sweet tea you made tastes really good!"
"I like this sweet tea, too. The key is that it doesn't make you fat!"
"The last time I went back, I brought a cup of sweet tea back to class. They snatched it all away. Not a single sip was left for me. I'm going to drink a few more cups today."
Soon, Fan Linlin and four other military wives came in. They were supposed to come early to help, but Instructor Fang said they were going to prepare the New Year's Eve dinner and asked them to come at this time. They had no choice but to come at this time, but they were still nearly half an hour earlier than the agreed time.
When the sisters-in-law arrived, they insisted on helping to pick and wash the vegetables. Everyone had no choice but to share some things with them.
Sunuo also sat down and picked vegetables with his sisters-in-law and chatted with them.
"Sister-in-law Sunuo, thank you for asking Linlin to bring us the cake that day!"
"I didn't expect to be able to eat birthday cake here. I'm really happy!"
"Thank you, sister-in-law Sunuo!"
"You're welcome!" On Sunuo's birthday, he saw that there was still one cake left untouched, so he asked Linlin to take it and share it with everyone.
"Although Sister Sunuo is young, she is much more efficient than us!"
"Yes! She knows a lot of things! Look at growing mung bean sprouts and cultivating mushroom strains. If she hadn't told us, we wouldn't be able to eat these fresh vegetables every day in such a remote place!"
These sisters-in-law all bought mushroom spawn online and learned how to grow bean sprouts from Sunuo. Now they are full of praise for Sunuo.
But Sunuo rarely went out to chat. Occasionally, he would go out for a walk in the yard and then return to his room. Sometimes they wanted to chat with Sunuo, but they didn't dare to come.
Then I followed Fan Linlin over to chat and we gradually became familiar with each other.
Lu Hongxuan and his companions did not call people from other companies. They just called a few familiar people and fellow villagers.
The chef also came to help tonight. Lu Hongxuan and the chef worked very quickly and cooked several dishes in a short time.
Lu Hongxuan took out two pots for cooking hot pot. After frying the ingredients, he turned on the power, added water and started to cook the hot pot.
Instructor Fang and Deputy Company Commander Cheng were responsible for adding the dishes and cooking.
Lu Hongxuan also made two cold dishes. Both were Sunuo's favorites. One was cold bracken root vermicelli with mung bean sprouts, coriander, and dried tofu, and the other was cold beef.
"Captain Lu's cooking skills have really improved by leaps and bounds!"
"If I were a woman, I would definitely marry Captain Lu!"
"Xiao Bei, it's impossible for you to get married! Captain Lu won't like someone like you!"
"Captain Lu is really amazing! He can even cook so many dishes now! Judging from the appearance, the dishes must taste very good!"
"This cold dish must have been taught to Captain Lu by Sister-in-law Sunuo! This is clearly Sister-in-law Sunuo's style!"
"I think this is the happiest New Year's Eve I have ever spent in the army!"
Everyone was laughing and joking while setting the table.
Lu Hongxuan asked Xiao Wang to bring back some beer and drinks in advance.
"Captain Lu, Instructor Fang, Deputy Captain Cheng, and Deputy Captain An are all going to stand guard today. Let's not let them drink too much. Two bottles of beer! What do you think?" The chef asked everyone with a smile.
"Okay! Two bottles then!"
"Two bottles are a bit too little! We must ask them to replenish it tomorrow!"
