The college entrance examination lasted for two days. Li Qiu and the other three did not compare answers tacitly. Instead, they put their minds on the next exam after finishing one, and no longer thought about the subjects they had already finished.

After the exam, the group returned to the army and worked together to cook a sumptuous meal, which was not only a reward for themselves, but also a thank you to Aunt Zhao for helping to take care of the children and logistics for them.

Today's chef is cousin Shangguan. Her ancestral home is in Guangzhou, and she cooks authentic Cantonese cuisine. Even if Li Qiu learned cooking from the descendants of Yu Chef in his previous life, he is still very different from cousin Shangguan. It's just that now is a new society, otherwise if it really comes to the turn, Li Qiu's background is not as high as cousin Shangguan's.

In the past, the three classes were scholars, farmers, merchants, and artisans, with scholars being the highest and merchants being the lowest. The ancestors of the Li family were merchants. And the great-grandfather of cousin Shangguan was the governor of Yangcheng in the Qing Dynasty, and the great-grandmother was Duoluo Gege, which could be regarded as a legitimate official lady. Even after the Qing Dynasty fell, cousin Shangguan's cooking and sewing skills were trained by her mother, but her family was not blessed. Except for her and mother Shangguan, all other relatives are gone, and her parents are martyrs.

However, judging from the situation in recent years, Li Qiu couldn't tell whether cousin Shangguan's family was better alive or dead.

The main dish in the evening was beef hot pot. Li Qiu dug out the beef from the space, and the excuse was ready, Lu Zhan bought some beef at the raw meat station last time and saved it. This is not a lie. Last time, Lu Zhan really bought beef at the raw meat station and gave five pounds to his cousin Shangguan.

Beef is hard to come by. Lu Zhan went to the raw meat station to get supplies for Li Qiu and went to the department store to buy things. He had enough money on him. If there were no people who wanted beef, he could have bought all the remaining beef by himself. But it was a long time ago, and Lu Zhan and Li Qiu both like to eat beef. The beef they bought is long gone. Now they eat the stock in the space.

If you want to say how rare beef is, it must be there. A big reason is that beef is hard to buy, almost like it can't be bought. Many people have never eaten beef since they were born.

The beef hotpot contains sliced ​​beef rolls and hand-made beef balls, as well as chopped white radish. The side dishes are basically small dishes, such as chicken greens, radish, winter melon, etc.

In addition to the beef hotpot, cousin Shangguan also made white-cut chicken, preserved vegetable braised pork, steamed spareribs in black bean sauce, and stuffed tofu. In addition, she steamed two bowls of custard eggs for the twins.

After the meal, everyone at the table had a full stomach. Even people like Li Qiu who like spicy food and strong flavors were very satisfied.

The twins can't use a spoon to eat complementary food by themselves, but they can already call mom and dad, and can say some simple words or reduplicated words. They obviously liked the egg fuyong made by cousin Shangguan. They twisted their bodies towards cousin Shangguan and stretched out their hands to hug her, calling "Auntie" in their mouths, which made Li Qiu and Lu Zhan, who were feeding them, feel jealous.

"Don't worry, if you have the chance to taste Zhao Shuse's cooking when you return to the capital, you won't catch me and call me auntie."

Auntie Zhao was a little curious: "That comrade Zhao's cooking is very good?"

"Her grandfather was the chef of the state banquet, and her ancestors were all chefs. It's a family skill."

Auntie Zhao was a little surprised. There are so many wealthy families in the capital.
