My Siheyuan Shelter

Chapter 323 Party
After get off work, Xu Dong went to Panjiayuan on the way, and picked up [-] catties of dried shrimp to take home.

During the Chinese New Year, the dried prawns at home are almost used up, plus the party tomorrow night, I need some dried prawns, and the boss, I will definitely take some with me when I go back.

Dinner time, while the family is around.

"Cough cough..."

"Third brother, do you have a cold?" Mother Xu asked with concern.

Xu Dong waved his hand: "I'm fine, there is something I want to announce."

"What's the matter?" Father Xu asked.

"Let me tell the story!" Yang Lina answered with a smile, "Dongzi will soon be promoted to the official section chief."

"Third, is what Nana said true?"

Mother Xu asked quickly.

"It's true. The higher-ups have already talked to me today. If there is no accident, the official appointment will come down in two days." Xu Dong nodded.

"That's great. I thought Ma Jie was going to be promoted, but I didn't expect you to be faster than him." Mama Xu was surprised.

Dad Xu asked puzzledly: "Didn't you say that it will take two or three years? Why is it earlier?"

"Our section chief took the initiative to apply for transfer, so I was able to take over early."

"Third, congratulations."

Under the strong suggestion of his wife, Xu Bin reluctantly sent his blessings.

"Uncle, I wish you a prosperous official career." Xu Jingyi echoed.

"What kind of official am I? At most, it is a little more stable than a private company, and far worse than an official." Xu Dong became humble.

"If our Jingyi can become the section chief, her father and I can wake up laughing from our dreams." Tan Aifang could not help but compliment.

After some courtesies.

Xu Dong looked at his mother: "Mom, I'm going to treat my colleagues to dinner tomorrow night. You always prepare two hot pots for me. It's enough for ten people."

"Okay, what standard do you want?"

"One three fresh pot, one spicy pot, put more oil, less meat, just make sense, prepare as much vegetables and tofu as possible."

It is definitely inappropriate to eat big fish and meat, and it is too high-profile. It is better to add more oil and water, which is low-key and affordable.

"Where's the rice?"

"There's no need for rice. It's too troublesome to cook rice with a rice cooker. I can just bring a whole box of bread." Xu Dong shook his head.

"When do you want it?"

Xu Dong thought for a while and answered, "I'll come back at noon tomorrow to pick it up, and I might come back later in the evening."

"Do you want me to go with you?" Yang Lina interrupted and asked. Although she didn't like socializing, her husband's career was obviously more important.

"No need." Xu Dong shook his head, "I said I won't bring my family members with me. I'll take you there when I have a chance to organize a group building next time!"

"Alright!"

……

Early the next morning, Xu Dong brought a pack of cigarettes, two bottles of red wine and two bottles of white wine to Sanhejiayuan community.

After entering the house, first lock the bedroom, and then clean the living room, kitchen and bathroom.

Then go to work.

As soon as he arrived at the company, Section Chief Li called him into the office, "Xiao Xu, Lao Cao and Director Su will also come over in the evening. The standard of food is almost okay, so everyone must be full."

"I see, isn't Miss Gao coming?"

"Lao Gao still has to take care of her grandson, and she can't leave at all, so don't force her." Section Chief Li explained.

"Okay." Xu Dong nodded.

"By the way, don't prepare the wine, I will take it with you."

Xu Dong shook his head: "I'm ready. If you are old, you should save this wine for Li Tao to drink when he gets married!"

"You..."

Section Chief Li smiled and didn't insist anymore.

At lunch time, Xu Dong went home and stuttered.

Then I loaded a large box full of ingredients into the car, and there were also two large thermos buckets of hot pot soup base, which Xu Ma had prepared in advance.

"I've put all the seasonings in place, as long as it boils, if it's salty, add more water." Mother Xu reminded.

Xu Dong nodded: "Understood."

Yang Lina walked over with a box of baguettes in her arms, and Xu Dong immediately took it.

There are twenty loaves in a box of bread, and it is the best vegetable bread, the portion is definitely enough.

"Don't drink at night, you still have to drive!" Yang Lina specially reminded.

"Don't worry, I'm measured."

"Come back early in the evening."

During the Chinese New Year, the higher authorities postponed the curfew to eleven o'clock in the evening, so Mama Xu made this request.

"Be sure to be back before ten o'clock."

Xu Dong promised.

……

The off-duty time came soon, and a group of people followed Xu Dong to the destination. This time, a total of 11 people came. Although they said in advance that they didn’t need to bring anything, they still prepared some small gifts.

Some of them are kimchi, and others are small snacks, such as dried sweet potatoes, potato cakes, and some with baguettes.

As the big leader, Director Cao brought a bottle of moss wine, and Director Su brought a small bag of candy.

Xu Dong turned on the TV and greeted everyone:

"Everyone sit wherever you want, let's have hot pot tonight, 10 minutes is enough."

"Boss, we're here to help you!" Xiang Xin dragged Sister Feng into the kitchen.

In the kitchen, Xu Dong took out two alcohol stoves from the cupboard, which were left here last year, and they were just ready to be used now.

There is still a lot of alcohol left, more than enough.

After preparing, Xu Dong handed one of the thermos buckets to Xiang Xin, and casually ordered:

"It's the soup base, pour it directly into the pot."

Xiang Xin unscrewed the thermos, the soup was still warm, exuding a choking spicy smell, Sister Feng couldn't help but said happily:

"It's actually spicy. It's the most suitable to eat in winter."

"It smells so good!" Xiang Xin took a deep breath.

Sister Feng looked at Xu Dong: "Section Chief, what kind of soup do you have in your hand?"

"Three delicacies, you can eat this if you can't eat spicy food." Xu Dong explained with a smile.

"I like both of them very much." Xiang Xin said with a smile.

Sister Feng patted the other party: "Xiao Xiang, you just gave birth, it's best not to eat spicy food, let's eat three fresh pot tonight!"

"How does this work?"

Xiang Xin was in a hurry. She hadn't eaten spicy hot pot for more than a year. Now chili is easy to find, but ingredients such as prickly ash are basically gone.

What a rare opportunity!
Xu Dong helped persuade: "Sister Feng is right, Xiao Xiang, you still have to feed the baby, something lighter is more suitable."

"Okay!" Xiang Xin looked disappointed.

"Okay, there are dried shrimps and fish slices in the three fresh pot, which is much more affordable than the spicy pot, what are you dissatisfied with?" Xu Dong comforted with a smile.

"Really?"

Hearing that there was meat, Xiang Xin became energetic.

"You'll know later. Remember to hurry up. The fish fillets and dried shrimp are only one or two catties in total, and they will be gone after fishing."

Xiang Xin nodded quickly.

Sister Feng on the side also swallowed her saliva. During the Chinese New Year, their family cooked a bowl of salted fish, but it turned out to be good. Before it was served, it was secretly given to Huo Huoguang by the youngest daughter and a few grandchildren.

It's embarrassing to say it!
