Back at Cao Weiguo's home, the kitchen was filled with a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Cao Weiguo put on his apron skillfully, took out fresh ingredients from the refrigerator, and then quickly took out various seasonings and tableware from the cabinet. His movements were smooth and natural, without any delay, as if he had done these things countless times. Liu Ping'an stood leisurely by the side, watching Cao Weiguo's busy figure, and the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously.

Soon, the kitchen turned into a lively battlefield. Cao Weiguo held a sharp kitchen knife and processed each ingredient attentively. His eyes were firm and serious, as if what he held was not an ordinary ingredient, but a precious work of art. His knife skills were superb, and each cut was just right, without wasting ingredients or affecting the taste.

Liu Pingan carefully observed Cao Weiguo's actions and offered suggestions and opinions from time to time. His voice was low and gentle, full of patience and wisdom. Whenever Cao Weiguo encountered a problem, he would always provide help and guidance in time, so that Cao Weiguo could do his job better.

"Weiguo, this fish should be cut like this, cut it diagonally, it will be easier to taste." Liu Ping'an said as he demonstrated to Cao Weiguo. He picked up the kitchen knife skillfully and cut the fish into even pieces with a light swing. His skill was amazing.

"Oh, Ping'an, your cooking skills are really amazing. I'm convinced." Cao Weiguo responded with a smile, and continued to process other ingredients according to Liu Ping'an's instructions. His movements became more and more skilled, and his speed became faster and faster. The originally messy kitchen gradually became tidy and orderly.

Then, Liu Pingan picked up the spatula and started cooking his specialty, braised fish. He first fried the fish until both sides were golden brown, then added the secret seasoning. Suddenly, the kitchen was filled with fragrance. The rich aroma made people salivate and couldn't help but want to taste it.

"Weiguo, you come and stir-fry the vegetables. Remember not to use too high a heat to keep the vegetables fresh and tender." Liu Ping'an instructed as he worked. His eyes were focused, and the spatula in his hand kept stirring, as if he was playing a gorgeous concert.

"Okay, don't worry, I'm also an expert at stir-frying vegetables." Cao Weiguo took over the task confidently, his face filled with pride and satisfaction. His movements were quick and accurate, and soon, a plate of delicious vegetables appeared before his eyes.

In this way, the two worked together to complete a sumptuous dinner. Their laughter echoed in the kitchen, full of joy and happiness. At this moment, they were not only colleagues, but also friends, and their friendship became deeper.

Soon, a table of sumptuous dishes was ready. There were braised fish, stir-fried vegetables, stewed meat soup, and several home-cooked side dishes, each of which exuded an enticing aroma. Everyone sat around the table, and Cao Weiguo's parents, Zhuzhu, Cao Weiguo, and Liu Ping'an looked at the food on the table with anticipation.

"Oh, I feel hungry just looking at this dish. Ping'an's cooking skills are getting better and better." Cao Weiguo's father praised.

"Yes, thank you for your hard work. Come and try it and see how it tastes." Zhuzhu looked at Liu Ping'an and Cao Weiguo with gratitude.

Everyone started eating the delicious dishes. The braised fish was tender and the soup was rich; the stir-fried vegetables were crisp and tasty, retaining the original flavor of the vegetables; the stewed meat soup was fragrant and warmed the stomach and heart.

"Well, this fish is delicious. Ping'an, how did you do it?" Cao Weiguo's mother asked curiously.

Liu Ping'an smiled and explained: "It's very simple. First, fry the fish until both sides are golden brown, then add seasoning and water, and simmer over low heat to allow the fish to fully absorb the flavor of the soup. This way, the fish will be tender, juicy and rich in flavor."

"So that's why it's so delicious!" Cao Weiguo's mother nodded in praise.

Then, everyone started discussing the cooking methods and taste of the dishes on the table, sharing their cooking experience. The atmosphere was relaxed and joyful, filled with laughter.

In this warm atmosphere, everyone enjoyed the satisfaction brought by delicious food and also felt the warmth and happiness of family.

Liu Ping'an smiled and said mysteriously: "Hey, this is my secret recipe! But the most important thing is to cook it carefully, because each dish corresponds to the corresponding heat, so it will taste delicious." After listening to this, everyone nodded in agreement, and a warm feeling and touch surged in their hearts.

After finishing the meal, everyone sat together in the yard, tasting the fragrant tea, chatting about family matters, and enjoying this precious moment of peace. Cao Weiguo looked at Liu Ping'an gently, his eyes full of gratitude and admiration.

Suddenly, Cao Weiguo asked, "Ping An, do you think our factory will become more and more prosperous in the future?"

Liu Pingan answered without hesitation: "Of course! With so many like-minded partners working together, our factory will surely flourish. As long as everyone is down-to-earth, conscientious, and upholds the principle of honesty and trustworthiness, the god of luck will naturally favor us."

Hearing this, Cao Weiguo could not help but nod his head repeatedly, and his heart was full of confidence. He knew that with Liu Ping'an, a reliable friend by his side, they would work together to create a more brilliant future.

At this moment, Cao Weiguo smiled as if he had thought of something. He turned to look at Liu Ping'an and said, "Ping'an, I suddenly have an idea. You see, my kid is already one month old, but we haven't celebrated it properly yet. I think, why don't we take advantage of the day off to set up a banquet in the yard and invite you and your family over so that we can have a lively gathering together. What do you think?"

When Liu Ping'an heard this, his eyes lit up and he nodded in agreement without hesitation: "What a good idea, Weiguo! Your idea is great. We can have a few drinks and celebrate properly. Also, let my family come and share in your joy." After saying this, he couldn't help laughing.

The two looked at each other, their eyes full of anticipation and joy. They both knew that the upcoming rest day banquet would surely become an unforgettable, beautiful and joyful moment. And the deep brotherhood between them would become more precious and stronger as time went by, just like the mellow wine.
