Their military hospital does not share dormitories with the army. The military hospital has a separate accommodation area. However, it is very cold in the dormitory. You can only cover yourself with a thick quilt. It may be colder inside than outside.
I didn’t expect this small courtyard to be so good! This is too warm.
"This is the charm of the big Kang in Northeast China. Moreover, Lao Chen's house also has a stove. The wood is burning every day. How can it not keep warm?" Zhang Qian treated it as if it were his own home and had already taken off his coat.
"Sister-in-law." Zhang Qian looked at An Yinan.
An Yinan rolled his eyes gracelessly. Zhang Qian would call his sister-in-law every time he asked for something.
Usually it was either An Yinan or Comrade An, and occasionally he would call An educated youth a few words.
If you call me sister-in-law, nothing will happen.
"Who are you calling? I don't know you, and I've never heard of it. Can I help you go out and look for it?" An Yinan smiled and looked at Zhang Qian, but he didn't accept the call.
Zhang Qian clenched his hands into fists and quickly bowed to An Yinan, "Sister-in-law, I was wrong."
"Sister-in-law, we have a break this afternoon, I think..." Zhang Qian looked at An Yinan and blinked.
Okay, An Yinan understands.
He just wanted to eat and drink.
An Yinan came close to Zhang Qian and whispered, "Take me hunting some other time? I'm almost bored to death."
Zhang Qian's eyes lit up, and without saying anything else, An Yinan stood there, acting as a lucky charm, and the prey rushed forward coquettishly.
"make a deal."
Qin Hao looked at An Yinan, then at Zhang Qian, and finally at Chen Xun, "Are they so familiar with each other?"
Why do you think they are treated differently?
Chen Xun tidied up the room and added another piece of wood to the stove. "When Zhang Qian went to the countryside on a mission, he and Nannan were among a group of educated youth who went to the countryside."
Qin Hao was greatly surprised and expressed great envy.
Their military hospitals do not have any mission to go to the countryside. Human lives are indeed different.
"Okay, you guys sit down. I'll put away some dishes. You have a day off today. Can you drink?" An Yinan looked at Chen Xun.
Chen Xun nodded.
They had very few breaks, and the three of them met even less frequently. In the past, whenever the three of them met together, they would go out for a meal.
Now that Zhang Qian was more aware of Nannan's craftsmanship, he begged to come to his home.
"Okay, I get it, you guys can try my craft later." An Yinan smiled.
Chen Xun stood up and said, "I'll light the fire."
An Yinan held his shoulders and said, "Let's talk. There is wood in the stove hall. I will just fill it with two pieces of wood later."
When Chen Xun heard this, he also realized that his daughter-in-law was giving him and his friends space, so he nodded.
"Thanks a lot."
An Yinan smiled and said, "It's hard work. Some people have big faces and have already been paid."
Zhang Qian clasped his fists with both hands and continued to bow, begging to be let go.
An Yinan left the space for the three brothers. The kitchen was in the backyard, so she went directly to the backyard wearing a small cotton-padded jacket.
There are a lot of ingredients in the space, but not many that can be used. Fortunately, there are dried vegetables sent by the folks in Quanshui Village, which can allow her to use them.
Dried eggplant stew, then gourd strip stew, spicy air-dried rabbit, and fried peanuts to go with wine. The portions of each dish should be larger, four dishes should be enough.
An Yinan first soaked the dried eggplants and gourd strips in water, then warmed a pot of white wine and then two pots of fruit wine.
Put the cold oil in the pot, then soak the peanuts in the cold oil, light the fire, and constantly turn the peanuts with a spatula so that every peanut can be heated evenly.
As time goes by and the fire gets hotter and hotter, the peanuts gradually begin to change color, and the fragrance of the peanuts gradually comes.
When the peanuts were about to be cooked, An Yinan quickly scooped them out with a slotted spoon, then poured them into the prepared basin, sprinkled fine salt in the basin, and began to turn the peanuts up and down until the oily heat dissipated. .
The peanuts are completely cooked at this time, coated with fine salt, and each grain is crispy and fragrant.
An Yinan first put the peanuts on the other side, and then used a large pot to make a spicy air-dried rabbit dish. This dish was often cooked when he was in Quanshui Village, but now that he is in the Northeast Camp, he rarely cooks it.
Most of the time, Chen Xun brought food back from the canteen, which gave her more time to translate or do something she liked.
This time, she had no scruples about the spicy dried rabbit, and made it spicy. In the past, because she took care of Sister Xiu'e and Yuanyuan, she always made it spicy, and the two of them had to drink water and eat it at the same time.
Put the two dishes on the table and the warm wine.
"You guys eat first, there are still two dishes to stew slowly." An Yinan said with a smile.
Zhang Qian couldn't wait any longer, so he took a peanut and threw it into his mouth, "Fragrant, produced by An Yinan, extraordinary."
An Yinan looked at him with a smile, "It's your flattery that makes the difference."
Chen Xun slapped Zhang Qian's hand and said, "Wash your hands."
"I'm complimenting you, but I'm not happy to hear it." Zhang Qian said to An Yinan.
Qin Hao looked at the three people getting along with each other, which was a little funny. Chen Xun, who was usually serious, was full of smiles at the moment.
And the serious Zhang Qian was also full of energy at this moment, as if he was getting more and more alive.
He didn't know much about An Yinan before. When Chen Xun was hospitalized, he had many patients and didn't have much contact with him.
Now it seems that the person who can make these two people like this must be a very good person.
"Eat first." Chen Xun greeted the two people.
An Yinan returned to the kitchen and stewed the gourd strips of meat first. She had dried the gourd strips last year, and now it was time to take them out to eat.
There was a large bowl of gourd strips of meat. She made it in clear soup without adding any chili pepper, mainly because she was afraid that Dr. Qin wouldn't be able to tolerate spicy food.
When the gourd meat slices were served, Zhang Qian quickly picked up a chopstick and said, "It's delicious." He didn't care if it was hot.
"Old Qin, you don't know, the life in the countryside was so wonderful." Zhang Qian reminisced.
At that time, except when he had to earn work points, he rarely went to the ground. As long as he was not on a mission, he would travel all over the mountains and plains.
And every time I return to their small courtyard, I can smell the aroma of rice, which is a feeling that someone is waiting to go home.
"I see, you gained ten pounds when you came back." Qin Hao nodded, confirming Zhang Qian's words.
Zhang Qian quickly interrupted him, "Isn't it recovered now?"
Qin Hao picked up a chopstick of gourd strips and stewed meat, and his eyes lit up slightly, "Wow, my sister-in-law is good at this craft."
Chen Xun said with a smile, "Don't let Zhang Qian lead you astray."
It's troublesome enough to have a man who always has a wife to cook for, but if another one comes along, their family might as well open a restaurant.
"Well, Lao Chen can't bear to leave his wife." Zhang Qian pursed his lips. My spring village was gone forever.
While they were talking, the last dish was served, eggplant stewed with dried meat, made spicy.
