Chapter 290 Feng Cheng remained silent, only picking at his food.
Soon, thanks to everyone's concerted efforts...
A sumptuous reunion dinner, brimming with the spirit of the New Year, is now complete.
"Here they are, the dumplings are ready!"
Wei Fugui's loud voice came from the small but warm kitchen.
He was holding a bowl of steaming dumplings steadily in both hands.
She carefully stepped out of the small kitchen.
Each dumpling made by the human-machine interface is plump and round, just like a white and chubby gold ingot.
They were huddled together in the basin, the rising steam carrying a rich and enticing aroma.
In an instant, the scent filled the entire dormitory, drawing everyone's attention.
Wei Fugui placed the dumplings steadily on the table laden with dishes.
He then sat down next to Ji Xiurong, a satisfied smile on his face.
Looking at his friends sitting together, Xia Tian straightened up, cleared his throat, and began to speak.
"happy New Year to all!"
Wishing everyone a safe, healthy, and prosperous New Year!
"Happy New Year!"
The responses from the crowd rose and fell, weaving together a symphony of joy and anticipation.
Everyone's face was beaming with smiles, and their eyes sparkled with anticipation for the new year.
"Alright, let's dig in!"
As summer's words faded, everyone picked up their bowls and chopsticks, eagerly beginning this feast.
Meng Yue sat down next to Qin Xuemei, quickly picked up a mouthful of tempting-looking food with her chopsticks, and put it into her mouth without hesitation.
"Hmm~"
She couldn't help but let out a soft, satisfied moan.
An exquisite aroma instantly takes hold on your taste buds.
Like an electric current, it rushes straight to the brain, stimulating every nerve ending.
The rich and wonderful flavor left her unable to find the right words to describe it.
It can only be expressed in the most straightforward yet most sincere words.
"too delicious!"
As Xia Tian listened to Meng Yue's generous praise, the corners of her mouth turned up slightly, revealing a smile.
He didn't say much, but his eyes were full of relief and satisfaction.
For a successful chef, this praise is the best compliment.
The others were not to be outdone and began praising the delicious food Xia Tian had prepared.
For a time, the dormitory was filled with laughter and exclamations of praise for the food, creating a lively and festive atmosphere.
Feng Cheng remained silent, only continuing to put food into his bowl.
"Xuemei, you should try this."
While chewing on her food, Meng Yue pointed with her chopsticks at a dish on the table that looked and smelled delicious.
"This is absolutely delicious."
Time slipped away quietly amidst laughter and joy.
Soon, the reunion dinner came to an end amidst everyone's lingering praise.
Three large bowls of dumplings and four carefully prepared dishes.
The 12 people sitting together devoured the food in a whirlwind, leaving the plates completely empty.
This shows how much everyone enjoyed the meal.
After the meal, everyone patted their round bellies contentedly, their faces beaming with happiness and satisfaction.
"Xia Gong, it's a real shame that you're not a chef with such skills."
Sui Zhichao touched his belly and said with a face full of admiration.
His words were full of sincere admiration for Xia Tian's cooking skills.
"That's right, even the dishes made by the chefs at the state-run restaurants aren't as good as what Engineer Xia makes."
Following Sui Zhichao's words, Shen Mengyin then offered her opinion.
She slightly raised her chin, her eyes revealing absolute approval of Xia Tian's culinary skills.
"Yes Yes Yes!"
Upon hearing his beloved's words, Sui Zhichao's face immediately lit up with a smile, and he repeatedly echoed her sentiments.
"Xia Gong, you're such a good cook, how come I never knew before?"
While leisurely picking his teeth, Zhao Tianshan asked with a puzzled look on his face.
"Yes, after eating Xia Gong's cooking today, I'm afraid I won't be able to eat the cafeteria food anymore."
Meng Yue smiled and agreed.
“Hey, if I go to the canteen, then all the cooks at our forest farm canteen will have to quit.”
Listening to everyone's praise, Xia Tian made a rare joke.
The atmosphere in the dormitory became increasingly relaxed and cheerful, filled with laughter.
"Old Wei, I think you should learn a few tricks from Engineer Xia."
Ji Xiurong gently nudged Wei Fugui'er beside her with her elbow.
He deliberately lowered his voice, his eyes filled with a hint of expectation and cunning.
"I don't work in the cafeteria anymore, why would I need to learn this?"
Upon hearing Ji Xiurong's words, Wei Fugui'er retorted with a puzzled expression.
He frowned slightly, his eyes filled with confusion, not quite understanding Ji Xiurong's intentions.
"You're so stupid!"
Upon hearing Wei Fugui's answer, Ji Xiurong couldn't help but roll her eyes, her face showing a look of disappointment and frustration.
"If you learn even one or two tricks from Engineer Xia, you can cook them for me sometime!"
Although her voice was still very low, her shy yet expectant tone was clearly audible.
Wei Fugui was taken aback when he heard Ji Xiurong's words.
But he did not refute it; instead, he fell into thought.
He lowered his head slightly, pondering the feasibility of this matter.
Soon, after the lively dinner ended, everyone began to clean up the pots and pans on their own initiative.
Everyone had a clear division of labor and worked together seamlessly.
The bowls are for washing dishes, and the pots are for scrubbing pots.
With everyone's concerted efforts
In no time, the table, which had been a complete mess, was cleaned up and restored to its tidy state.
After tidying up, everyone sat down together again and started chatting happily.
Xia Tian strolled over to Chang Wei, slowly squatted down, and gently stroked its wolf head.
Changwei wagged its tail meekly, squinted its eyes, and thoroughly enjoyed the summer's caresses.
Every now and then, it would gently rub against Xia Tian's hand, expressing its affection for her.
Suddenly, as if remembering something, Xia Tian slapped her forehead.
He stood up, a hint of excitement on his face.
"Oh, right, I brought some things from the mailroom this morning."
His voice rose a few decibels, drawing everyone's attention.
"These are everyone's letters and packages. Wait here, I'll go get them for you!"
After saying that, he quickly walked into his bedroom in the inner room.
A short while later, he came out carrying a large stack of letters and packages.
"Comrade Xiurong, this is yours!"
Xia Tian handed the letter to Ji Xiurong with a warm smile on her face.
"Xiao Meng, this is yours!"
"Da Kui, I have a letter for you!"
Xia Tian distributed the items in her hands to everyone in turn, according to their names.
When the message was sent to Sui Zhichao, Sui Zhichao looked at Xia Tian and said something.
"Mr. Xia, this package was sent to the wrong address; it's not for me!"
Looking at the words "Sui Zhichao" clearly written on the package, Xia Tian couldn't help but feel puzzled and asked.
"That's right, it's your name!"
Upon hearing Xia Tian's words, Sui Zhichao reached out and scratched his head.
A shy smile appeared on his face as he began to explain.
"This is for Comrade Mengyin!"
Xia Tian was taken aback when she heard Sui Zhichao's words, but then she seemed to understand something.
A slight upturn at the corners of his mouth revealed a meaningful smile.
He turned and handed the package to Shen Mengyin.
