Chapter 71: Pork Stomach Chicken
Wen Xi nodded thoughtfully. Her second brother's values were indeed quite correct. He believed that girls should be pampered and that household chores should be done by stronger men. Therefore, she and her eldest sister seldom did housework, and almost all the household chores were done by her second brother and two younger brothers.
"Does your second brother have a girlfriend?" Shen Jiaojiao asked curiously.
"My second brother didn't have a partner before he left home. He shouldn't have one so soon, right?" Wen Xi shook her head uncertainly. She couldn't contact her family now, so naturally she didn't know about her second brother's affairs. "It would be great if he had a partner. After all, he's in his twenties now, and it's time for him to experience the taste of love."
Her second brother is such a good person, handsome, and has positive values. If he has a partner, he will definitely be devoted to the other person and make the other person happy.
The three of them worked together to clean up half of the basket of small fish. Jiang Yue asked curiously, "Xiaoxi, how are you going to eat these small fish?"
"Today, pork tripe, chicken and silver carp are enough. You can cook these small fish in two days. When I bring back the tofu, I will stew fish for you. If you can buy kelp, add some kelp to it. It will taste really delicious." Wenxi put the cleaned small fish into a wooden basin, brought it to the kitchen, and placed it in the cupboard.
Afterwards, Wenxi went to check the pork belly and chicken in the pot. Although they were not stewed for a long time, they were already very fresh and fragrant. Although life at home was good before, no one could eat like this every day because the neighbors would not allow it. If someone's home emitted the fragrance every day, the neighbors would scold him to death.
It’s different in the countryside now. They live in a good geographical location, with a mountain behind them and a certain distance from the houses in the front row. Moreover, the neighbors are all good people, and no one makes a big fuss about them eating meat. Otherwise, why would Tian Shengnan and others bring rabbits to her house to cook?
Wenxi had just finished cooking lunch when Song Lan and the other three came back. Wenxi asked them to process the fish directly at the well and then take it back to the educated youth camp. Seeing their hesitation, Wenxi was a little surprised, "What's wrong?"
"Wenxi, we don't want to take the fish back to the educated youth camp because we want to dry the fish and send it back home." Tian Shengnan said embarrassedly.
"Of course you can, but I don't have a pickle jar and not much salt. You have to find a way to pickle them yourselves and then come here to dry them." They were not very close friends, and even if they were, Wen Xi would not increase the workload for himself, Shen Jiaojiao, and Jiang Yue.
Tian Shengnan has been here for a long time and knows many people in the village. She can naturally borrow a pickle jar from someone for a few days, so why should Wen Xi worry about them!
Tian Shengnan nodded, "Okay, thank you, let's clean up the fish first."
Afterwards, Song Lan, Zhou Bai and Tian Shengnan processed the fish by the well. They decided to put all the fish together and divide them into three equal portions after they were dried.
Wen Xi didn't expect that Song Lan and Zhou Bai would become friends with Tian Shengnan so quickly. It's good to have someone to get along with, at least there's someone to talk to at the educated youth site.
Although Tian Shengnan is a lesbian, she has neat short hair and looks a bit like a lesbian from a distance, so there is no misunderstanding when the three of them walk together.
Wen Xi, Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue were in charge of cooking in the kitchen. Wen Xi used the triangular iron stove that she had signed out to cook.
After lunch was ready, Wen Xi called Song Lan, Zhou Bai and Tian Shengnan to the kitchen to eat.
At noon, there were six dishes: pork tripe and chicken, spicy pork heart, pickled fish, vinegar-fried potato shreds, stir-fried cabbage, and scrambled eggs with leeks.
Song Lan said embarrassedly, "Wenxi, I'm sorry for making you spend money."
"It's okay. Didn't we eat your rabbits and old hens?" Wen Xi sat down and said, "Among the 18 educated youth, only six of us have a good relationship. In the future, we must help and support each other and not let others bully us."
There will be two more batches of educated youth coming later. Although they are all educated people, their personalities vary. If there are only three of them, it may be difficult to deal with them, so it is better to unite more talented people.
Wenxi filled a big bowl of pork tripe and chicken for everyone and directly distributed all the pork tripe and chicken in the pot. Everyone picked up the bowl, took a sip carefully, and then sighed with satisfaction.
I didn't expect that such a stinky thing could become so delicious after Wenxi's hands. Wenxi's cooking skills are better than those of the chefs in state-owned restaurants. If he could open a private restaurant now, Wenxi's skills would definitely make the restaurant a success.
In Wenxi, everyone enjoyed plenty of meat and fish, with their mouths full of oil, but the educated youth at the training camp did not receive such good treatment. There was only stir-fried cabbage, stir-fried potato chips and stir-fried wild vegetables on the table.
Since there was not much oil, the potato chips turned black.
Looking at such food, Chu Wan'er's expression became as pale as the food. There were a few people here who were in very good condition, especially Xia Minglei, and Jiang Mo, Cheng Yu and Gu Xiangbei who were usually quiet and had little sense of presence. They had money and tickets, but they were unwilling to buy some good things to improve everyone's meals, and only knew to go to the state-owned restaurant to eat.
Chu Wan'er became angrier the more she thought about it, but she didn't dare put down her chopsticks and not eat, otherwise she would go hungry in the afternoon.
"I don't know where Song Lan, Zhou Bai and Tian Shengnan have gone. They didn't have dinner together last night, and they were not here at noon today." Chu Wan'er's eyes flashed. She had hardly talked to Song Lan and Zhou Bai, and she couldn't tell what their conditions were from the way they were dressed.
When Chu Wan'er thought of this, she looked up and glanced at the men sitting around the table. These men had a certain understanding of her and it would be difficult to fool them. Instead, she could choose one from Song Lan and Zhou Bai. Anyway, she would not marry a country bumpkin and stay in the countryside all her life.
Liang Zhaodi glanced at Lu Xiaoyun and said in a bad tone, "Should we go out and eat alone? Don't you all like this?"
They hide anything good from themselves, as if they are afraid that others will take advantage of them.
Those who often went there to eat and drink became a little uncomfortable when they heard Liang Zhaodi's sarcastic words, but soon returned to normal. Their money and notes were their own, so of course they ate and drank quietly. Why should they bring others to eat and drink? What could others give them?
After dinner, Lu Xiaoyun saw Xia Minglei walking out of the educated youth center, so he hurried to follow him. Seeing that Xia Minglei was not walking towards the Lin family, but towards the river bay, Lu Xiaoyun raised his hand and put it on Xia Minglei's shoulder, "Xia Minglei, why didn't you go to find Lin Yiwan today, but came to the river bay instead? Is there something bothering you?"
