Back To The 80s: President's Doted Wife novel Chapter 193

Chapter 193: Chapter 193: Practice Banquet

Due to the downsizing of the army, the units needed to be restructured, and Qi Taiguo was quite busy. The mood in the compound was somewhat anxious because the downsizing meant that the family members listed would have to leave as well.

Cheng Su was waiting for Taiguo to discuss the farewell party date, but what she didn’t expect was to be entrusted with the business of hosting the farewell banquet at her restaurant.

There were, in total, fifteen friends, including family, amounting to more than thirty people. However, the little restaurant was too confined for large tables, so they had to make do by piecing together smaller tables.

For this farewell banquet, the budget was only thirty yuan. Taiguo felt very ashamed and said to her, "It’s precisely because everyone is leaving the service that we need to save wherever we can. This thirty yuan is indeed too little, but you see..."

Thirty yuan for a banquet for more than thirty people, including drinks, truthfully speaking, there was definitely no profit in it, breaking even would be good enough.

But who was Cheng Su? The guests of this farewell were her husband’s comrades-in-arms. Since they proposed having it in her own restaurant, even if it incurred a loss, she was willing to take it, considering it was an honor for her husband.

Yet Cheng Su also couldn’t let Taiguo think she was easy to persuade, so she pretended to sigh and said, "Who else could I be but your wife? If my husband is wasteful, I just have to accept it. Leave it to me."

Taiguo breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I’ll make it up to you with next month’s allowance."

With a budget of only thirty yuan, trying to match the quality of the previous meal they hosted was impossible. At least Buddha Jumps Over the Wall was out of the question, as the ingredients were too expensive, and the drink couldn’t possibly be Maotai.

Cheng Su and Old Song carefully discussed and calculated, finally settling on ten dishes and one soup, with the drink being the most common Double Distilled Wine because Taiguo mentioned that they were likely to bring their own alcohol.

The soup was a simple winter melon and sliced pork concoction, low in cost and refreshing for the summer heat.
