Chapter 136: A Barbecue Treat

Zuo Huo did not ask Song Yao the reason and planted a kiss on her face. “I’ll listen to you!”
Song Yao and Zuo Huo stayed in the room for a long time. It was only when it was almost dark that they went out to find a restaurant.
This restaurant was known for its hotpot. Song Yao thought about it for a long time. There were so many people in the family courtyard, so they couldn’t eat hotpot mutton around a copper pot. Compared to that, roasted meat and barbecue were the best choices.
In order to satisfy the taste requirements of every colleague in Zuo Huo, Song Yao specially packed a few portions of seasoning.
There were 40 catties of beef and mutton, 30 catties of pork and chicken each. As for wine and side dishes, Song Yao bought a lot at once.
This was the first time the shopkeeper had met such a straightforward buyer like Song Yao. He immediately helped Song Yao pack it up and promised to send it to the family courtyard.
Song Yao was also generous. Not only did she give him money, but she also bought a lot of melon seeds and peanuts on the way back. She originally wanted to buy some green prawns to roast, but she was stopped by Zuo Huo.
“This is the first time you are meeting them. There are enough of these things!”
Zuo Huo’s heart did not ache for Song Yao spending money. If she spent money on herself, she could spend as much as she wanted. However, if she spent it on those colleagues, Zuo Huo was a little reluctant.
Although the food at the Tobacco Bureau was not bad, it was not to the extent of having meat every meal.
Dozens of catties of roasted meat were enough to shut those people’s mouths. If they were too high-profile, they would inevitably be gossiped about. He did not want Song Yao to do such a thankless task.
Song Yao did not insist after hearing Zuo Huo’s words. In the beginning, she only wanted to treat Zuo Huo’s colleagues to a good meal. However, if this meal caused any trouble between her and Zuo Huo, she might as well spend less money.
When they returned to the family courtyard, the shopkeeper had already sent the oven up, along with the prepared dipping sauce and various special side dishes and snacks.
The skewers were placed on the rack, sizzling with oil. The fragrance of the skewers filled the family courtyard, and the colleagues in the family courtyard were even more dumbfounded.
It was actually a barbecue! Section Chief Zuo’s wife was too generous!
In the past, many colleagues had brought their partners back, but how could the couple care about bachelors like them?
Even the self-proclaimed generous Liu Mei only treated her colleagues in the army to a bowl of mutton steamed buns after confirming her relationship with her man. At that time, they were extremely touched. They still remembered how good Liu Mei was.
But today, Song Yao actually bought so much beef and mutton back. It really made those colleagues feel flattered.
Even Liu Mei did not expect Song Yao to be willing to spend money to treat her colleagues in the family courtyard to barbecue! What did her family do? Why was she so rich?
Even she, Liu Mei, had to hesitate when treating someone to a good meal. However, the meat skewers Song Yao had prepared today were at least 50 kilograms. According to the current price of mutton, these things should be more than 200 yuan, right?
Song Yao had already walked in front of everyone. “This is the first time we’ve met. I don’t know what gift to buy for everyone. 200 catties of skewers should be enough for everyone to eat. If it’s not enough, I’ll add another 20 catties.”
Song Yao’s words were too straightforward!
The 200 catties of skewers were enough for dozens of people in the family courtyard to have a good meal. One had to know that they only dared to eat like this once during festive seasons. This was all thanks to Section Chief Zuo’s partner!
“Sister-in-law is so generous! She actually thought of treating us to a barbecue! This is the first time I’ve eaten such fragrant mutton skewers in my life!”
“That’s right! Sister-in-law is too nice. No wonder our Section Chief Zuo likes her!”
“Sister-in-law, when are you going to marry Section Chief Zuo? Let’s decide naturally!”
It was said that gifts blinded the eyes. The colleagues who were originally not very satisfied with Song Yao immediately changed sides and stood on Song Yao’s side.
Even Liu Mei’s husband, Wu Jiang, said, “Not only is our section chief’s wife beautiful, but she’s also so sensible and polite. She’s really a match made in heaven with our section chief Zuo!”
When Liu Mei heard this, her face turned purple with anger!
These people were really inexperienced.. They could bribe these people with just some skewers! How could this Song Yao compare to her?
