After the two of them met and saluted everyone, they smiled and said, "Yo, you guys came here early enough. If we were a little later, we might have been left behind."
Hearing that, Yang Wanli laughed and said, "No one dares to leave you, Jiang Dajun. If we leave you behind, then we won't have a good time for the next half a month. We'll be nagged to death by you every day."
When Wang Zishan heard this, he also laughed and said, "It's not as exaggerated as you say. I just see you talking about it every day."
When Yang Wanli heard this, he pursed his lips and said, "What's this if it's not talking about it? I can't stand it."
Everyone laughed out loud when they heard this.
The tall and thin man was the Jiang Dajun that Yang Wanli had mentioned. He was the assistant instructor under Wang Zishan. Beside him was the man with a good nose, Wu Xiaoyan's man.
The few of them chatted and laughed as they walked back.
...
Meanwhile, Kang Xiaoqiao was busy at home.
With Wang Xuehua helping to light the fire, she was really much more relaxed. This fire was not only a technical job, but it was also hot.
Wang Xuehua was sitting on the small pony very calmly. Her expression was calm, and the fire was very good.
Her eyes were fixed on the way Kang Xiaoqiao was cooking.
Then, the expression on her face kept changing.
Finally, she could not help but say, "Sister Xiaoqiao, isn't there ready-made lard? I think the meat is quite fat. It would be good to fry it in the pot. How wasteful is it to use soybean oil to cook?"
Hearing that, Kang Xiaoqiao said while frying vegetables, "Uh... our Yichen can't get used to meat oil, so he put in bean oil, hehe."
Kang Xiaoqiao was also very helpless. When you said that you were going to cook a meal, people kept whispering to you that this was too wasteful and that you had to be frugal. This didn't work. You had to do this, this...
She was also very helpless, okay?
On the other hand, the corner of Wang Xuehua's mouth twitched. She didn't know whether Lu Yichen liked to eat bean oil or not, but there was no one in the ministry's canteen who didn't put in meat oil to cook those dishes every day.
Kang Xiaoqiao saw Wang Xuehua's distressed look and said, "Sister-in-law Wang, there's still some fat left over there. Why don't you take it home to make oil? Otherwise, it'll be wasted."
Hearing that, Wang Xuehua blushed and said, "No need, no need. I'm so sorry."
Hearing that, Kang Xiaoqiao immediately smiled and said, "What's there to be sorry about?"
Then, her eyes turned and said, "Sister-in-law Wang, do you have a lot of oil tickets?"
Wang Xuehua didn't understand what Kang Xiaoqiao meant and nodded blankly. She said, "Now every family has a lot of oil tickets. If you have spare money, you might as well ask someone to buy more fat. This meat oil is more promising than soy oil, and it's even more fragrant."
Hearing that, Kang Xiaoqiao immediately smiled and said, "Then sister-in-law Wang, there's no need to be polite with me. Anyway, my family doesn't eat fat meat. It's just right to give it to you. If you're really embarrassed, why don't you give me some gas tickets so that I can buy some soybean oil to eat?"
Ah?
Kang Xiaoqiao said it lightly, and she didn't think it was anything at all. However, Wang Xuehua was stunned. After a long time, she said, "You can do that?"
Seeing that, Kang Xiaoqiao asked in puzzlement, "What's wrong? Sister-in-law Wang, is there a problem?"
"Aiya, if there's a problem, then forget it. I'm just saying it casually. Please don't take it to heart."
Hearing that, Wang Xuehua hurriedly waved her hand and said, "It's okay, it's okay. I still have some gas tickets at home. If you want to use them, I'll give them to you, but..."
Kang Xiaoqiao blinked and said, "But what?"
Wang Xuehua looked around and said, "But don't say that you took them from my house."
Hearing that, Kang Xiaoqiao was stunned. However, seeing that Wang Xuehua looked like a thief, she blinked and didn't ask anymore.
After Kang Xiaoqiao finished stewing the braised pork and potatoes, she made a sweet and sour pork rib. She bought some dried hazelnut mushrooms at home and a hazelnut return pot meat.
She brought back a few Spanish mackerel in the morning, which made Kang Xiaoqiao feel a little troubled. There were no tomatoes and no other vegetables in this season. The Spanish mackerel had a strong fishy smell, so she could only think of braising it in red.
Wang Xuehua looked at the Spanish Mackerel and frowned. "Eh, there are many fish like this here. It's just that the fishy smell is too strong, so it's cheap. But people usually don't eat it. Why did Unit Lu buy it?"
Then she complained, "This Old Feng really doesn't do good things. Unit Lu doesn't understand. Doesn't he understand?"
Hearing that, Kang Xiaoqiao smiled and said, "It's okay. As long as the fishy smell is removed, it'll be fine. The Spanish Mackerel has very high nutritional value. It's rich in protein, vitamin A, and minerals. It's also very calcium-rich. The meat is also very delicate and has few thorns."
"And it also replenishes Qi. It's very helpful for people with weak constitution, anemia, and malnutrition. For example, people like me."
"I guess Yichen bought it for me on purpose. Sigh, it's hard for him to be so considerate."
After saying that, Kang Xiaoqiao neatly kicked off the fish's head, wrapped it in cornstarch, and fried it in oil.
Meanwhile, Wang Xuehua, who was sitting on the stool, was fiercely showered with dog food. She swallowed her saliva. She said dryly, "Sister Xiaoqiao, you really know a lot. As expected of someone who has studied for a few more years. It's just an ordinary fish, but you actually said so many things."
"And your Unit Lu. The two of you are really a good match. No wonder Unit Lu is such a serious person. They did so much for you."
After saying that, she looked around. Kang Xiaoqiao was just saying it, but she did not expect that it would make Wang Xuehua respect her.
At this moment, her admiration for the scholar was very strong. Previously, it was because the original owner was the one who made the heaven and earth. She did not look like a cultured person at all.
Well, in this society, those who graduated from high school were all extraordinary people. Ordinary people, those who graduated from primary school, and even those who did not graduate from primary school, were very common.
On the other hand, Wang Xuehua felt that this cultured person was really different from an uncultured person. She had to learn well and see how Kang Xiaoqiao cooked fish. When she went back, she also had to give her two daughters a good tonic.
Well, because of Kang Xiaoqiao's words, the two daughters of Wang Xuehua's family lived a life of eating Spanish mackerel every day. It was still the kind of Spanish mackerel that had a fishy smell.
Kang Xiaoqiao did not know about this. After listening to Wang Xuehua's words, her smile became even sweeter. At the same time, her hands were not idle. After the Spanish Mackerel was fried to a golden color, she sprinkled pepper and shredded ginger on it to make it fragrant.
Then, she added boiling water and garlic. After that, she began to make the sauce. The other steps were nothing much, except that making the sauce was a technical job. Otherwise, why would those chefs protect this so tightly?
While Kang Xiaoqiao was making the sauce, Wang Xuehua was distracted by other things, so she did not see all of it. As a result, her daughter had a hard time.
Just at this moment, she suddenly heard someone shouting, "Aiya, this is fragrant. I can smell it from afar. Xiaoqiao, Xiaoqiao, we are back."
The voice was so loud that it was like thunder. Kang Xiaoqiao was so scared that she almost dropped her plate to the ground.
