"I really didn't expect Du Ningyue to be so good at cooking meat. Whoever marries her in the future will be in luck."
Xu Yansheng's hand holding the cabbage was a meal. Because of his gifts, Du Ningyue came to see him three times. At that time, he was really helpless, "My grandfather gave you the gift. If you don't accept it, I will return it in person." give him."
At that time, Ning Yue choked for words, but Xu Yansheng said another sentence: "My grandfather can give such a gift, which means that these things are within his ability, you can just accept them with peace of mind.
If you have to thank me - I'm not used to eating whole grains. Of course, it would be best if there is meat. If you can get it, you can bring it over and sell it to me. I'll give it to you at the black market price. Do you think that's okay? "
Ning Yue thought about it and agreed. Xu Yansheng was right in saying that no one would go bankrupt by giving gifts to others. A watch that seemed very valuable to her might be an object that represented his feelings in the eyes of Mr. Xu. Son, since they wanted to thank her, she would keep it, so as not to make the old man feel that he owed her a favor.
As for what Xu Yansheng said about getting him more meat and fine grains, it wasn't impossible.
Because she had to work every day, she couldn't go to the city often, so the family lost an income. Anyway, Xu Yansheng was not short of money, so she could sell some to him.
Then, since the day they agreed, she sent a skinned rabbit the next day, and a packed pheasant seven or eight days later.
Half a month later, there was half a bag of white rice and dozens of wild eggs.
Then during the autumn harvest days, she sent two more bowls of stew.
Of course, Xu Yansheng’s money was not ambiguous at all.
"Hey, the rabbits and pheasants she brought earlier were wasted. I really didn't expect her cooking skills to be so good. What do you think, can we get some pork and let her cook it for us?"
Xu Yansheng: "...What good things are you thinking of? I can't open my mouth, so you can tell me. It would be nice to have a ready-made meal once in a while!"
Gao Zhidong felt regretful when he heard what he said, but he still nodded, "You're right, I didn't think it through well. Her house is surrounded by other people, and when the meat is stewed, people around her will smell it. It's inappropriate. .”
That's what he said, but he still didn't give up: "You say, if we are really hungry, let her cook for us occasionally. Can she help? I will pay for it!"
Xu Yansheng glanced at him and said, "If you want to eat meat, wouldn't you go to a state-owned restaurant?"
Gao Zhidong: "Yes, yes, you think I didn't say anything."
It's also his fault, the big stew can't stop his mouth.
After finishing lunch quickly, the two of them ate up the bowl of meat without leaving any oil or water, and even the bowl of fried Chinese cabbage was completely eaten.
Or to put it another way, for a twenty-year-old young man, his belly is as long as the bowl of rice. How much rice you have depends on how big his stomach is. He can cook as much as he wants without worrying about the leftovers.
The seven or eight educated youths in the room opposite smelled the aroma wafting from Xu Yansheng's room and ate the sorghum rice and beans stewed in their own bowls. They found it hard to swallow.
Bai Yafang felt even more uncomfortable. No wonder Xu Yansheng didn't want to eat with them. He could eat stew every few days, so wouldn't he want to eat with them?
Gao Zhidong finished washing all the pots, dishes and chopsticks used by the two of them, closed the door after returning to the house, and then lay down on the kang, "Oh, my waist, if I don't lie down for a while, I really won't be able to hold on in the afternoon. .”
"Oh, then you still have to endure it. The rice harvest will be finished in two or three days. Next is the soybean and corn harvest. However, there are not enough corns planted, so it will be finished in two days at most. Then there will be the sweet potato harvest. "
The most annoying thing for Xu Yansheng is peeling sweet potatoes, because every year when the team distributes food, sweet potatoes account for a large part. Those sweet potatoes that are bruised must be divided. After dividing, the sweet potatoes must be cut into pieces and dried, otherwise they have to If it's broken, it needs to be ground into powder after drying, but pancakes, steamed buns, and wotou, even if it's mixed with some white flour, the taste is really not that good. He has eaten enough.
Of course, if you don't do this, you can also steam all the sweet potatoes and dry them. You can also chew two of them when you are hungry, but it is very troublesome anyway.
Gao Zhidong said: "It's a pity. No one will accept those injured sweet potatoes on the black market now. Otherwise, I would sell them all, even if I exchange eight pounds for one pound of normal grain."
Five kilograms of good undamaged sweet potatoes are exchanged for one kilogram of grain. No one wants the bruised ones. Everyone wants to share the sweet potatoes and want to eat some normal grains. Who will buy this during the autumn harvest?
"Hey, do you think we can buy some more rice with Du Ningyue, or why don't you talk to her about it." The rice in the bag will be gone after steaming it for at most two times, and it really won't last through the autumn harvest.
Xu Yansheng turned over and faced the wall, ignoring him.
…
By the time all the work in the fields was done, it was already the first ten days of October in the lunar calendar, and the winter in the Northeast was coming. When the team finished distributing food, Ning Yue welcomed her first heavy snowfall in this world.
It snowed all day and all night. When I got up the next day and opened the door, I saw that the sky was completely white, and there was a dry smell in the air.
The villagers all went to the streets to clear the snow. Dajiang and the others happily built snowmen outside. Ning Yue took the time to deliver meat to Xu Yansheng.
The gifts she gave were pheasants, hares, and the like. Occasionally, she would stew them directly and take them over. It was not frequent. At most, it would only come once a week, so there was no need to worry about being suspected.
Of course, those stewed meats were purely due to Professor Liu and others, and he was just incidentally.
She was not stupid enough to stew meat at home. Before the autumn harvest, she returned to the city and bought a set of cooking equipment. Then she placed it in the space and placed it next to the warehouse. The animals in those spaces would never come to It's within the confines of the black earth, so those kitchen utensils are safe there.
Every time she stewed the meat, she sealed it in a lunch box and took it out when she got there. She didn't have to worry about others smelling it.
When Xu Yansheng returned her lunch box one time, he put ten yuan in it, saying that he was thanking her for stewing the meat and that they ate very well. The next time Ning Yue brought him twenty kilograms of rice, anyway. She didn't take advantage of Xu Yansheng.
This made Xu Yansheng very powerless. He would never doubt the origin of the things in Du Ningyue's hands. After all, he used to be a black market owner. However, the two of them met secretly at night without saying anything. I just said a few words and then handed something over, but I felt something was wrong no matter what I thought.
"I can also buy food on the black market myself. Also, those meat dishes you cook may not be available if you have money. I really can't eat your food for free."
Ning Yue: "Don't worry, those stews are prepared for a few people in the east. They are just given to you by the way. And you also paid for them. I can't take the extra."
Xu Yansheng knew that she had to go east every time she delivered something to him, so Ning Yue did not hide her words when speaking. She could see that Xu Yansheng was not a talkative and nosy person.
Xu Yansheng was speechless. It turned out that he was just being sentimental!
