There are nine company canteens under Lu Cheng's independent regiment, and three of them want to recruit non-staff personnel. It must be said that Lin Qingqing came at the right time. If she had come any later, there might not be a position for her. After all, even if they are non-staff personnel, there are many people willing to go even if the monthly salary is not fixed.
Lu Cheng was promoted from deputy battalion commander. He had been in charge of one of the three company canteens, so he took Lin Qingqing directly there and assigned them to the third company's cooking squad.
Four male comrades from the third company's kitchen were washing vegetables. When they saw Lu Cheng coming, they quickly stood up and saluted: "Deputy Regimental Officer Lu."
Lu Cheng said, "This is my wife, Lin Qingqing." When he mentioned the word "wife," he felt a subtle feeling in his heart. He then introduced Lin Qingqing, "This is Qi Shao, the squad leader of the kitchen squad. This is Lin Bao, this is Yang Bin, and this is Yang Tieniu."
"Hello, sister-in-law." Qi Shao led everyone to say.
Lin smiled gently and said, "Hello, you can just call me Xiao Lin or Comrade Lin." She was only nineteen years old, and these people were in their twenties, some might even be thirty. They were all older than her, and she felt embarrassed to call her sister-in-law.
Qi Shao and others looked at Lu Cheng. They didn't dare to call him Xiao Lin.
Lu Cheng said, "You can call her Comrade Lin... I said this morning that my wife is a good cook and wants to be a chef in the cafeteria, so I brought her here for an interview. Qi Shao, do what you should do and follow the rules."
"Yes, deputy regiment commander." Qi Shao looked at Lin Qingqing and said with a smile, "Comrade Lin, there are quite a few comrades working here. Among them, you are the youngest. Similarly, you may be the one who can least endure hardship. Although our company has less than a hundred people, it is very busy when it is busy, and it will be very hard. Can you endure this hardship?" It's no wonder that Qi Shao thought so, because Lin Qingqing looked delicate and pretty, and it was obvious at first glance that she was not someone who could endure hardship.
Lin Qingqing said frankly: "I really can't bear the hardship of doing manual labor, but I want to be the head chef and be responsible for arranging the dishes in the cafeteria every day."
Qi Shao was stunned: "You want to be the head chef." He is the squad leader, so naturally he is also the head chef of the kitchen squad.
Lin Qingqing said: "Yes, I will arrange the meals for each day and tell everyone how to make them delicious."
It was the first time that Qi Shao encountered such a thing: "To be honest, our place is different from the big canteen. The chefs in the big canteen pay attention to cooking skills, but people here just want to be full, because there are only a few dishes and there is no way to make them fancy." So, they are a group of people who have no cooking skills.
Lin Qingqing was not nervous. She smiled and said, "How about this? Can I come for a three-day trial? If Squad Leader Qi is not satisfied during these three days, I can leave at any time without receiving any salary. How do you think?"
"This..." Qi Shao looked at Lu Cheng.
Lu Cheng said: "How about this, let her interview her cooking skills here first. If her cooking skills satisfy you, let her come here for a three-day trial. If her cooking skills do not satisfy you, she does not need to come."
When Qi Shao heard this, he thought it was fair, so he said, "Then please ask Comrade Lin to give it a try. We have the materials available here."
Lin Qingqing looked at the ingredients: green vegetables, potatoes, tomatoes, sweet potatoes, and a few bags of flour. Lin Qingqing thought about it and immediately came up with an idea. "Excuse me, do you have any ready-made flour here?"
Qi Shao said, "Yes, for making steamed buns tomorrow. How many does Comrade Lin want?"
Lin Qingqing said: "A little, about the amount of a bowl of noodles."
Qi Shao took out the kneaded dough. For him, it was easy to estimate the amount of a bowl of noodles.
After Qi Shao took out the dough, Lin Qingqing was not idle either. She took two tomatoes and three potatoes and picked up the tile next to the potatoes. The tile was still stained with potato skins. It should be used by the comrades in the kitchen to peel the potatoes. Although there are peeling knives in later generations, it is not difficult for Lin Qingqing to peel potatoes with tiles. She quickly peeled the three potatoes and washed them, and then cut them into small pieces using the rolling knife. The reason for cutting small pieces is that they cook quickly.
After that, she started to make fire. In later generations, although it is the age of electrical appliances, many people in rural areas still like to use stoves, such as Grandma Lin's generation, so Lin Qingqing is also very familiar with the stove. Sometimes, she even uses the stove to cook food during live broadcasts. Modern people also like this kind of things with a sense of age.
The fire was lit and a large ladle of water was put into the pot. After the water boiled, Lin Qingqing took out most of the hot water and put it into the soup bowl, and put the remaining hot water directly into the ladle. Then she used a knife to cut a cross on the tomato, and then put the tomato into the ladle.
The kitchen was completely silent. Lu Cheng, Qi Shao and the others were all watching Lin Qingqing quietly. Lu Cheng didn't know much about kitchen matters, but the comrades in the kitchen did. They were all shocked to see Lin Qingqing cut a cross on the tomato and soaked it in hot water. What was she doing
But within a minute, Lin Qingqing took out the tomatoes, peeled them neatly, chopped them up, and put them into the pot with hot oil. A strong smell of tomatoes spread immediately. At this time, the half bowl of hot water that Lin Qingqing had just put in the soup bowl was useful. She poured the hot water into the pot and then put the potato cubes in.
While waiting for the potatoes to cook, make the dough into dumplings. When the potatoes are cooked, add the seasonings and scoop out half of the potato soup into two small bowls. Then put the dumplings into the pot and scoop out the dumplings when they are cooked.
After it was done, Lin said gently: "This bowl of tomato and potato dumplings is eaten as a meal, and these two small bowls of tomato and potato soup are drunk as soup. Please enjoy them."
The comrades in the kitchen looked at each other. To be honest, they knew it would taste good without even eating it. When Lin Qingqing said "Please taste it", the four comrades took out their chopsticks and spoons in tacit understanding. Although the food was very hot, they were used to tasting the food right out of the pot, so they were not afraid.
Two minutes later, two small bowls of tomato and potato soup and a large bowl of tomato and potato dumplings were eaten up by them, and steam was still coming out of their mouths.
Qi Shao said, "I didn't expect that tomatoes and potatoes could be cooked this way. We usually just steam potatoes in a pot. Even tomatoes taste better than what we usually cook. Comrade Lin made the tomato taste better this way."
Lin Qingqing smiled and said, "Whether it's tomatoes or potatoes, there are many ways to cook them. For example, potatoes with soy sauce and garlic, and sour potato shreds, the taste is unique. For tomatoes, there are also scrambled eggs with tomatoes, fried meat with tomatoes, and eggplant with tomatoes, etc. Believe me, as long as you hand over your kitchen to me, even if it's the same dish, I guarantee that the comrades in your company will eat happier than the comrades in other companies." Lin Qingqing took out the ** that she used to face fans during the live broadcast and said, "Whether you are training or on a mission, you are already hard enough. It must be a very happy thing to be able to have a delicious meal."
Lu Cheng looked at Lin Qingqing, a deep smile in his deep eyes. He didn't know that she had such eloquence.
Lin Bao was the youngest of the four comrades in the kitchen squad. After hearing what Lin Qingqing said, he couldn't help but say, "Squad leader, let's agree with sister-in-law. I want to eat everything that sister-in-law said."
Yang Bin also said: "From now on, our Third Company's kitchen staff will envy them to death."
Yang Tieniu was the most honest. He nodded without saying anything, but there was a bright light in his eyes.
Qi Shao had also made up his mind to let Lin Qingqing come, and he considered many aspects. First, Lin Qingqing is the wife of Deputy Commander Lu. After coming to the kitchen, she can manage the undisciplined brats during meals. Second, it was to give face to Deputy Commander Lu. Third, of course, it was Lin Qingqing's cooking skills that conquered him. From the way she cooked, it was known that she was not a novice, but someone who often went into the kitchen. Originally, he was going to recruit two odd jobs, but now that Lin Qingqing was the head chef, it didn't matter if these old men did more odd jobs. "Okay, Comrade Lin, welcome to be one of us." Qi Shao saluted.
Lin Qingqing also returned the greeting: "Thank you, squad leader, thank you all comrades, please give me your guidance in the future."
…
When Lin Qingqing came out of the third company's kitchen, she was very excited. In her excitement, she did not forget Lu Cheng: "Lu Cheng, thank you for today."
Lu Cheng raised his eyebrows: "We are husband and wife, there is no need to be so polite. And I didn't help, you convinced Qi Shao with your cooking skills." If it weren't for her good cooking skills, Qi Shao would not have agreed so readily.
"Anyway, I still have to thank you. How about this, is there anything you want to eat? I'll cook it for you to show my gratitude." This was all she could offer.
Lu Cheng thought about it and said, "Let's eat this tomato and potato dumplings tomorrow morning."
Lin Qingqing said cheerfully: "No problem, I'll add a poached egg and some vegetables to make it taste better." It would be even better if there was beef.
Lu Cheng curled his lips: "Okay."
"Oh, right..." Lin Qingqing remembered something, "If we have a dinner party tonight, I want to set up an extra table in the empty room to entertain the children, and let Haici invite his friends over. What do you think?" It was also indirectly telling the kindergarten children that Lu Haici has a family and is not someone who can be bullied by anyone.
When Lu Cheng heard her words and thought about the quarrel between Lu Haici and Qin Ming, he knew her intention. "Okay." He didn't expect that she would be so attentive to Lu Haici. "Thank you, Comrade Lin Qingqing." He thanked her solemnly.
"You're welcome. Let's go to the kindergarten and talk to Haici about this." After thinking for a while, she said, "When you are free, you can send him to the kindergarten or pick him up from school. The presence of a parent has a deterrent effect."
"Okay, I'll listen to you." Lu Cheng's voice was much softer than before.
However, Lin Qingqing obviously didn't hear it.
In the kindergarten, the children were playing the game of "Eagle Catches Chicken" outside, and Lu Haici was among them. In the past, Lu Haici would not play games with everyone, but after yesterday's tofu pancakes, White Rabbit milk candy, and the morning wheat rolls, Lu Haici is now very popular in the kindergarten, so everyone will call Lu Haici when playing games.
At this moment, Lu Haici was playing the eagle game, but because he was usually introverted and had never played this game before, he never caught the chicks. However, Lu Haici had a good personality and was very patient.
Lu Haici aimed at one of the children who was a little tired from running. When he stopped to rest again, Lu Haici rushed over and grabbed the child's hand: "I caught it, I caught the chicken."
Unexpectedly, the kid gave Lu Haici a push.
Lu Haici didn't stand firmly and fell directly on his butt, being pushed to the ground.
"Why did you push Lu Haici?" Ji Yang saw it, rushed over, stood in front of Lu Haici, and glared at the kid angrily.
The little boy said, "He scratched my hand and hurt it."
"Then you can't push anyone." Ji Yang said, "Apologize to Lu Haici."
At the same time, Qin Ming pulled Lu Haici up from the ground. Compared with Ji Yang's gentle tone, he was much more arrogant: "You apologize to Lu Haici, otherwise we won't play with you." The little brat's threat was so direct, he wouldn't play with you if you didn't apologize.
"If you don't want to play, then don't play." This kid also has a temper, "You all ate Lu Haici's food before playing with him, you have no shame."
Qin Ming said as a matter of course: "We have eaten Lu Haici's food, of course we have to play with him." If he didn't play with him after eating, he would feel ashamed even as a child.
Child: "So if you eat my food, you can play with me?"
Qin Ming: "You haven't given us anything to eat yet."
Ji Yang and Qin Ming had different attitudes: "If you don't apologize to Lu Haici, I would rather eat your food than play with you." They felt justified in getting something for free.
The child got angry and said, "I told you, he scratched my hand and hurt it, so I pushed him."
Ji Yang: "Then you should apologize too. It was wrong for you to push someone."
"I won't." The kid glared at Ji Yang, "You are all raised by stepmothers, that's why you are so nice... Qin Ming, what about you, do you want to be nice to them too?"
Qin Ming said: "I have reconciled with Lu Haici. My grandfather said that a real man should not be petty. I want to be a great hero in the future, so I have to be generous."
"Then I won't play with you guys anymore. Humph, I won't give you any food even if I bring something tomorrow." The child ran away angrily.
Lu Haici looked at the other party, then at Ji Yang and Qin Ming. He was still a little confused. How did it develop into this? Lu Haici patted his buttocks slowly to shake off the dust on his pants.
"Lu Hai Ci..."
Just at this moment, Lin Qingqing's voice came from the entrance of the playground.
Lu Haici had sharp ears. When he heard his mother's voice, he turned around and saw not only his mother but also his father. "My parents are here to see me." Lu Haici proudly said to the child, and then ran towards his parents, "Mom, why are you here?"
Lin Qingqing saw some sweat on his forehead and knew that he must be tired from playing. She said, "Lu Haici, you can't take off your clothes when you sweat, otherwise you will catch a cold. If you catch a cold, you will need a shot in the buttocks, which is very painful."
Lu Haici subconsciously touched his butt and shook his little head like a rattle: "I won't take off my clothes." He was afraid of injections.
Lin Qingqing praised: "That's good. We are having a party tonight. Do you have any good friends? You can invite them to our house for dinner."
Lu Haici looked at the children over there, he stretched out his fingers and counted them: "There are six." In addition to Ji Yang, there were four others who had helped him fight before, and he later distributed candies to them, and one was Qin Ming. Although he was a little confused about what happened just now, he knew that Qin Ming had helped him.
Lin Qingqing said, "After school, you should invite your six good friends to your home for dinner. You are the host, so be enthusiastic when inviting your friends. If they agree to come to our home for dinner in the evening, you should go to their home after school and tell their parents so that they don't worry."
Lu Haici liked to hear his mother say that he was the little master, so he said with high aspirations: "I know, I will invite them."
Lin gently touched his head and said, "Let's go home then. See you at home after school." As he said that, he waved to Lu Haici.
Lu Haici also waved: "See you at home after school."
Lu Cheng watched them interacting. He was grateful for Yu Linqingqing's thoughtfulness towards Lu Haici, but he also felt that these two people were too annoying.
After his parents left, Lu Haici returned to the group of children. Ji Yang asked curiously, "Lu Haici, why did your mother come to see you?"
Lu Haici said proudly: "My mother said that we will have a party at home tonight and asked me to invite my good friends to have dinner at our house."
"Wow, your family is treating us again. Is aunt going to cook anything delicious?" Ji Yang has been conquered by Lin Qingqing's cooking skills. Even though he has only eaten there twice, he was completely conquered, mainly because the things Lin Qingqing cooks are so unique.
Lu Haici puffed out his chest and said, "I don't know either. My mother said that I am the little host and my family is having a party. She wants me to treat my good friends. Ji Yang, you are my good friend. Come to my house for dinner tonight."
Ji Yang certainly had no choice but to go. Even if Lu Haici didn't ask him, he would have gone. So he agreed readily: "We are double best friends, I will definitely go."
"Yes." Lu Haici invited Ji Yang and looked at Qin Ming, "Qin Ming, we are friends now. Why don't you come to my house for dinner tonight?"
Qin Ming was a person who loved to be in a crowd. In this era when food was precious and people would not easily go to other people's homes for dinner, it was so honorable to be invited by a child to have dinner with him. He didn't even have to think about it: "Okay, I will definitely go."
Next, Lu Haici invited the remaining four good friends.
Lu Haici was inviting friends, and Lin Qingqing and Lu Cheng were not idle either. They also went to invite people separately. Lin Qingqing went to invite the people who sent her to the hospital that day, and Lu Cheng went to invite the brothers he was on good terms with in the army.
Qin Family
When Yu Xiuyao heard Lin Qingqing's intention, she thought that Lu Cheng's wife was really too polite. "It's not a big deal, why invite guests? No, no, no."
Lin Qingqing said, "It's just a piece of cake for you sisters-in-law, but it's a life-saving favor for me. How can I let it go? Besides, I've been with the army for more than half a month and haven't had a chance to get to know you all, so sisters-in-law, please don't be polite with me. I also want to integrate with you and learn how to be a good military wife. Besides, Lu Cheng also invited a few friends over, so I invited you all as a by-product."
Yu Xiuyao was helpless: "You've said all the good things." Generally speaking, newlyweds like Lu Cheng who brought their wives to the army would indeed invite everyone to dinner to get to know each other, which was also considered their wedding banquet. So Yu Xiuyao did not refuse again, "Then I'll take you to find a few people."
Lin Qingqing: "Thank you, sister-in-law."
When Yu Xiuyao sent Lin Qingqing to the hospital, she asked three military wives to help. At that time, Lin Qingqing was like a corpse, and even the strongest female comrades would have difficulty moving a corpse. Yu Xiuyao and the three military wives sent Lin Qingqing to the door, and then called a male comrade to drive Lin Qingqing to the hospital. So everyone who helped should be called.
When inviting everyone to dinner, it is naturally impossible to invite only one person. Usually the whole family will come, so in this case, the Lu family's dining table is obviously not enough. Back home, Lin Qingqing asked Lu Cheng to borrow two more sets of tables and chairs, a total of three sets, which can seat more than 30 people, which is enough.
Lu Cheng went to the cafeteria to borrow tables and chairs, and Lin Qingqing began to prepare dinner.
"Qingqing..." She just took out the dishes, and saw Yu Xiuyao coming with a basket full of dishes. Yu Xiuyao's whole family came to eat, and her family had a good relationship with Lu Cheng, so they didn't say anything polite. When Lu Cheng first joined the army, he was a subordinate of Yu Xiuyao's husband Qin Dashan. Later, Lu Cheng was assigned to an independent regiment, but the relationship between the two families has always been good. In addition, when Lu Cheng was on a mission, Lu Haici was fostered in the Qin family, and the relationship between the two families became even better.
"Sister-in-law is here, so why does she bring anything with her?" Lin Qingqing looked at the basket full of dishes and didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Their family had prepared quite a few dishes today, and since they were inviting guests, they naturally wanted to make sure the guests were satisfied.
Yu Xiuyao said, "I grew them myself, and you're still being polite to me? If you want me to wash anything, you can arrange it."
Lin Qingqing prepared ten dishes for each table today, namely, stewed eggs with minced meat, braised eggplant, cold cucumber, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, pumpkin with leeks, mashed greens with garlic, potato and kelp soup, stir-fried loofah, sour shredded potatoes, and sauerkraut fish soup.
The staple food was cabbage, cornmeal dumplings, sweet potato and rice. The children's table had pumpkin cakes and mashed sweet potatoes.
She also knows her limits. If all three tables are served with rice, how much rice would it take? In comparison, cornmeal is cheaper, so she makes cabbage and cornmeal dumplings, which are convenient and delicious. Sweet potato rice is also delicious. Rice is the base, and a layer of sweet potatoes is placed on top. When the rice is cooked, the sweetness of the sweet potatoes will blend into the rice, and the sweet taste is also great. If it is not sweet enough, add some sugar water when cooking. People of this era will not refuse to cook rice with sugar water.
Lin Qingqing took out all the vegetables to be washed: "Sister-in-law, help me wash the vegetables, I will knead the dough first."
Yu Xiuyao: "Okay."
Yu Xiuyao was very quick, and she washed a lot of vegetables just as Lin Qingqing finished kneading the dough. Meanwhile, Lu Cheng came with a cart full of tables and stools. "Where should I put this?" Lu Cheng asked.
Lin Qingqing said: "Put a table in the empty room for the children. Put a table in the hall for the gay men, and put a table in the yard for the lesbians."
Three tables, one trip was not enough, so Lu Cheng pulled three times before he could get all the tables and chairs. Then, Lin Qingqing and Yu Xiuyao went to the table in the hall to cut vegetables. Each dish was in three portions. So the Lu family not only did not have enough tables and chairs, but also borrowed a lot of bowls from the cafeteria.
By the time all the vegetables were cut, it was almost four o'clock. It was time to prepare the kitchen, otherwise how could we handle so many dishes? Speaking of cooking, this is the advantage of iron pots, because iron pots are relatively large, and they are enough to hold three bowls of one dish. Moreover, because the iron pot is large, the spatula will not shovel out the food even if you use it hard. If it were a modern pot, it would definitely not be able to hold three bowls of food.
Among the ten dishes, cold dishes and dishes that do not affect the taste much when cooled should be cooked first. At the same time, soup can also be cooked.
So Lin Qingqing first made cucumber salad, and then cooked potato and kelp soup in a clay pot. The most important thing for cucumber salad is the soul sauce. Cut the cucumbers into sections, crush them with a knife, and then add the soul sauce. As long as the soul sauce is well seasoned, it will be quick. The soul sauce she prepared is soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sugar, but unfortunately there is no coriander. Lin Qingqing likes coriander, and she thinks it will be more fragrant if coriander is added.
Yu Xiuyao wanted to help with cooking, but there was only so much space in the kitchen and only one stove, so two people would be in the way, so she just helped Lin Qingqing.
Speaking of which, Yu Xiuyao was skeptical about Lin Qingqing being the chef. After all, she was only 19 years old. In the eyes of Yu Xiuyao, who was in her thirties, wasn't she just a little girl? But when she saw Lin Qingqing washing and cutting vegetables skillfully, she knew that this little girl could cook.
"You can do this with cucumbers?" She was shocked when she saw Lin Qingqing pouring the prepared sauce into the crushed cucumbers. Especially since sugar is a precious commodity, how could she actually mix it with cucumbers
Lin Qingqing directly used chopsticks to pick up a cucumber dipped in sauce and gave it to Yu Xiuyao: "Sister-in-law, please try it. I don't know if you like the taste."
Yu Xiuyao's eyes lit up as she took a bite: "This taste is quite special, sour, salty and sweet. It tastes good, but it's a waste of sugar."
Lin Qingqing smiled slightly. She understood Yu Xiuyao's idea, but Yu Xiuyao didn't understand her idea. For modern people, eating is not only about filling the stomach, but also about tasting the taste. But for people of this era, because of limited supplies, they pay more attention to filling their stomachs. Only those with extremely good family conditions will pay attention to the taste.
After Yu Xiuyao brought the cold smashed cucumber down, Lin Qingqing started to stir-fry the sour potato shreds. This dish can be eaten hot or cold.
There is no trick to making sour potato shreds. After boiling the potato shreds, heat the oil in a pan, then add salt and rice vinegar. Because you don't need to fry them too much, it will be ready quickly.
Next are stir-fried pumpkin with leeks and mashed green vegetables with garlic, dishes that don’t lose much taste even when they’re cold.
After these two dishes are done, we have fried egg with loofah. Meanwhile, the potato and kelp soup is ready. The potato and kelp soup is very delicious, and the delicious taste comes from kelp, which is also a nutritious dish.
Yu Xiuyao had just brought the potato and kelp soup out the door when she saw the military wives who had sent Lin Qingqing to the hospital coming in with baskets. One of the military wives said, "We are late. We wanted to help."
Yu Xiuyao said, "Just wait for the food. All the dishes today were made by Lu Cheng's wife. I'll just help serve the dishes." The three of them had a good relationship with Yu Xiuyao. Of course, when Lin Qingqing fainted from a fever, Yu Xiuyao would call for help, and they were all people she knew well.
"Really? Then we must taste it carefully."
Lin Qingqing said from inside: "Sisters-in-law, please sit outside and have some biscuits and candies." The dishes on the table outside were not served yet, but biscuits, White Rabbit candies, and fruit candies bought in the morning. There were so many guests that they couldn't afford to serve White Rabbit candies alone, so they naturally had to add fruit candies.
"You just do your own thing, we'll have fun on our own." Having said that, the three military wives all carried the baskets to the kitchen. Since this person had arrived and the things had been delivered, it was natural for them to let the host know.
Lin Qingqing said: "The sisters-in-law are so enthusiastic."
"These are all vegetables grown at home. If you like them, you can pick them anytime."
"That's right. I can't afford anything else, but I have enough food."
Lin Qingqing: "We just planted the vegetables today, and we are in need of vegetables right now. The vegetables my sister-in-law sent me are just what I wanted."
Hearing Lin Qingqing say this, the three military wives all laughed. Lin Qingqing was cooking inside, and they didn't bother her. Seeing that the vegetables had been washed and cut, they really had nothing to do, so they sat outside.
One of them noticed some movement in the small room next to him and curiously went to take a look. He saw Lu Cheng busy inside. "Deputy Captain Lu, are you digging a cellar?"
After hearing what this military wife said, the other two military wives also came over to see.
Lu Cheng had been digging the pit for two hours, so his whole body was already in the pit, and the soil he dug out was piled on the side, almost blocking him.
"It would be nice to dig a cellar here. Our family also wants to dig a cellar so we can store things when the time comes." said another military wife.
"We're not digging a cellar, we're digging a squat toilet." Lu Cheng said.
"What?"
The three military wives standing at the door watching were dumbfounded.
"Isn't there a toilet in this family compound? Why are they digging a squat toilet?"
Lu Cheng: "It's convenient to go to the toilet." Of course he wouldn't say that it was Lin Qingqing who asked for it. Such words would cause gossip about Lin Qingqing, so he wouldn't say it.
In the kitchen, Lin Qingqing's dishes were almost done. The braised eggplant and scrambled eggs with tomatoes were also ready, and finally the pumpkin pancakes were out of the pan. Only the minced meat stewed eggs, sauerkraut fish fillet soup, and cabbage and cornmeal dumplings were left.
Cook rice in an iron pot, put a steamer on top, and steam the minced meat and stewed eggs. Cook pickled cabbage and fish fillet soup in a clay pot, which is actually pickled cabbage and fish fillet soup. Cabbage and noodle dumplings are made last.
"This pumpkin pie tastes good." Yu Xiuyao ate one. She watched Lin Qingqing making pumpkin pie, which was made with sugar and fried in oil. She didn't even blink when she saw Lin Qingqing putting it together. If it were her, she would really be reluctant to do so.
Lin Qingqing said, "We made a lot of pumpkin pancakes, so you can take some home later." She still had some dough left, and she would eat steamed buns made with pumpkin dough tomorrow morning.
"No, no, give it to everyone. I've learned how to make it myself later." Of course, he was just responding to Lin Qingqing's words. Her children have grown up and don't need to eat such snacks.
kindergarten
As soon as the kids got out of school, they went home. Lu Haici and Ji Yang were in the same group, so they went home together. Qin Ming quickly put on his schoolbag and ran to Lu Haici: "Lu Haici, I'll go home and tell my grandma, and then I'll go to your house for dinner."
Lu Haici: "Well, you need to hurry up."
Qin Ming: "I know." He ran home like the wind.
At the Qin family, Zhang Hongping had also prepared dinner, making the fried meat that her beloved grandson loved.
"Grandma..." Qin Ming ran into the house and asked breathlessly, "Grandma, Lu Haici invited me to his house for dinner."
Zhang Hongping was stunned: "Why did Lu Haici invite you to his house for dinner?" Speaking of which, Zhang Hongping was still angry about the matter between Qin Ming and Lu Haici, and she was thinking about how to make a comeback. However, before she could come up with a solution, her beloved grandson and Lu Haici reconciled, which made Zhang Hongping unable to make the comeback, so she could only let it go. Not only that, yesterday after returning from school, the beloved grandson went to Yang's house and made a scene, asking Yang Mailian not to say bad things about Lu Haici's mother anymore. This surprised Zhang Hongping even more. After careful inquiry, she found out that Lu Haici had apologized to him and even treated him to a meal. So they became friends.
Zhang Hongping's ability to instigate Yang Mailian shows that she is a shrewd person. Lu Haici and his grandson became friends, so she could only endure everything. She couldn't take her grandson to deal with his friend's family, right
