Chen Afu quickly put down what he was holding and together with Mrs. Wang he asked Aunt Mu and Auntie Zeng to go to the kitchen. There was still half an hour before evening, they couldn't prepare anything too complicated or time-consuming. They could only stir-fry a few common dishes, mix a few cold dishes, and make some Luwei.
First, they needed to cook rice and stir-fry the dishes, then prepare the gold-thread cakes while they were eating.
Chen Afu thought for a while and decided on a menu. Braised rabbit, braised pig liver, braised ribs, braised bean curd, cold mixed tripe, cold mixed wood ear mushrooms, garlic kelp thread, sugar-coated peanuts, garlic sprouts sautéed with double-cooked pork, golden fried prawn balls, onion-wrapped mutton, braised beef with radish, stir-fried double mushrooms, Bear's Paw Tofu, and clear-stewed chicken. In total, four braised dishes, four cold dishes, six hot dishes, and one soup.
Once they decided, they all started working.
