The weather is clear, and the brigade will indeed send people to repair the educated youth spots.
In the house, the party secretary shouted on the loudspeaker, mobilizing all the young and middle-aged people in the village to help, and strive to repair the educated youth spot as soon as possible.
In the afternoon, Li Xiaoqing and Wu Xiaoxiao came over and wanted to talk to Su Yue. Mrs. Han gave the room to them and asked them to come in and have a good chat.
Wu Xiaoxiao looked at Mrs. Han’s room and couldn’t help but envy Su Yue, “Su Yue, it’s great for you to live here. It’s clean and spacious. You don’t know how painful it was for me to live in other people’s home during this time. I slept with the old lady and three children in same room. Not to mention, the noise of teeth grinding and snoring kept me awake at night, and one of the children kept peeing in the dung bucket in the room and they didn’t empty it for several days. The house was very noisy. I told them once, but they ignored it, so I couldn’t say anything more. I could only hope for sunny weather every day.”
Li Xiaoqing also sighed and said: “The old lady’s house where I live is like this too. At this time, people in the village like to put a dung bucket in the house for convenience.”
Wu Xiaoxiao pouted, “The house where I live is not for living. The food is terrible. Every day it’s only rice porridge or dried sweet potatoes. Their family also treats them differently. The men eat well and the bad ones are given to women. I also eat at the same table with women, which is the worst. It’s really the first time I’ve seen such a family, I’m so angry.”
“And I also have to do housework. I’m busy with many things every day, but it’s not good to live in someone’s house and not work. So I can only work like a robot every day. If I don’t work, the two daughters-in-law of that family would taunt me.”
” The rations I brought were also taken up by them. They only left me two taels. I wanted to reason with them, but I thought I would have to live with them for a while. If I fought now, I would have no place to live, so I could only endure it. ”
Wu Xiaoxiao and Li Xiaoqing talked about a lot of pain during this period, and they almost broke into tears.
Su Yue sweated violently, and then realized how lucky she was to come to the Han family. Fortunately, she came to the Han family.
Mrs. Han was a reasonable and understanding old lady. This made her live so comfortably, unlike Wu Xiaoxiao and Li Xiaoqing, they encountered so many bad things.
Li Xiaoqing patted Wu Xiaoxiao comfortingly, “It’s finally better now. The brigade has repaired the house for us and we can move back in. Even if the educated youth camp is shabby, but at least we can live comfortably and we can keep it clean ourselves.”
Wu Xiaoxiao agreed very much and was happier for going back than anyone else.
Seeing their happy faces, Su Yue couldn’t help but sigh in her heart. It seemed that she was the only one reluctant to leave, while the others were looking forward to going back.
When Wu Xiaoxiao thought about going back to the educated youth point, she couldn’t help but think of the food made by Su Yue.
When she thought of those delicious food, she couldn’t help but swallow her saliva. She grabbed Su Yue’s arm and shook it, “Su Yue, Su Yue, I am now getting excited when I think about eating the delicious food you will make when we go back. You don’t know that I would always dream about it every night and my saliva almost wet my pillow. ”
Su Yue patted her and said, “Why are you so exaggerating ? ”
Wu Xiaoxiao nodded wildly, “As for that, I want to eat what you cook so much that I wanted to go back right then. Now that the weather is clear, my wish is finally coming true. ”
Li Xiaoqing couldn’t help but look forward to moving back soon, and then suggested: “I think we should have a good celebration on the day we move back. Let’s all go buy some delicious food and come back. Then Su Yue will cook us a big meal.How about it?
Wu Xiaoxiao’s eyes lit up and she nodded, “Okay, okay, we must celebrate. I still have a pound of meat coupons in my hand. I will go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy a pound of meat.”
Li Xiaoqing: “I also have meat tickets. Then I will buy a pound of pork ribs and come back. I will talk to Wei Jia and Mao Lin later and ask them to buy something delicious. ”
Wu Xiaoxiao was going crazy with anticipation.
Looking at the two of them, Su Yue knew that they were greedy. She immediately went to the kitchen to heat up some steamed buns and siomai for them to eat.
The two saw the steamed buns and shaomai. They were almost moved to death, and wolfed down the food without paying attention to their image.
Wu Xiaoxiao even said to Su Yue while eating: “This is the most delicious thing I have eaten in this time, Su Yue, I never want to leave you again. If only I were a man, I would definitely marry you as my wife. ”
Su Yue didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
In the end, the two of them went back with full stomachs and contentment.
Compared with Li Xiaoqing’s full expectations, the Han family was very reluctant to leave Su Yue. After all, with Su Yue here, there would be good food every day. After eating her made food, in less than half a month, the whole family has gained weight, especially the children, who were originally thin, but now their cheeks have become rounded at a speed visible to the naked eye.
No one wants Su Yue to leave, wishing that Su Yue would live in their house forever, but the educated youth had their own house to live in, so it was unrealistic not to let them go back.
The village repaired the houses very quickly, and the educated youth’s house was repaired in two days , the brigade informed all the educated youths to move back to the educated youth point.
Su Yue couldn’t help but stay at the Han family. Li Xiaoqing and the others moved back immediately. It was outrageous for her to linger outside alone, so she asked the Han family to help her move back in the afternoon. The brothers helped carry the luggage back to the educated youth point.
Han Aiguo also followed, holding Su Yue’s clothes in his hands, and walked side by side with Su Yue to the educated youth point.
Although Su Yue knew that his legs were inconvenient to walk, she still didn’t stop him, because she knows that he doesn’t want her to go. In fact, she doesn’t want to leave him too.
Su Yue is a girl so she walks slowly. Han Aiguo walks slowly because of his inconvenient legs. The two of them naturally fall at the back while walking. They didn’t suspect anything, and this also gave the two people a chance to get along.
Han Aiguo had been a little silent for the past two days and didn’t speak at this time. Su Yue had to secretly poke his arm and deliberately laugh at him: “What’s wrong? be happy, I’m not going far away, so it’s not so hard to leave. ”
Han Aiguo turned to look at her, opened his mouth, but didn’t say anything in the end. He wanted to ask when he could marry her and let her stay with him forever, but what could he do to marry her now? He asked someone to find out but there is no news yet on the prescription for treating legs.
He can’t even work in the fields and so he can’t say anything and ask to marry her, as that would make him feel guilty.
Looking at his expression, how could Su Yue not know what he was thinking.
After thinking about her current points, Su Yue couldn’t help but raise the corners of her lips, leaned into his ear and said mysteriously: “Let’s do this, if you smile for me, I’ll give you a surprise, okay?”
Look she was so naughty, and Han Aiguo didn’t want to spoil her mood. He winked, smiled at her, pretended to be looking forward to it, and asked, “What’s the surprise?”
“Wait for me at home the day after tomorrow. I’ll give you a surprise.”
Han Aiguo guessed that Su Yue wanted to make something delicious and bring it to his house for him to eat. Although it was not a surprise, he was still very happy to see her, so he said nodding in cooperation: “Okay, then I’ll wait for you.”
The two of them arrived at the educated youth point. The Han brothers put down Su Yue’s luggage and went back.
Li Xiaoqing and the other four have come back. Now that Su Yue has come, they happily rush to hug her. The five of them hug her, “We are finally together again. We are happy to live in our own house.”
Wu Xiaoxiao, The foodie immediately took Su Yue to the kitchen, pointed to the meat in the kitchen and said to her: “Look, we went to town to buy it. I haven’t eaten meat in many days. Let’s have a good time tonight. Let’s have a super meal!”
Several people nodded wildly.
Su Yue looked down at the meat they bought, and was surprised to find a basket of crabs. Where did this come from?
Wei Jia said: “I went to town this morning. I originally planned to buy some pork, but I saw an old man selling crabs he caught at discount. I thought you were good at cooking and might make them delicious, so I bought this basket of crabs, and I don’t know if you can make it.”
”Okay! Why not!” Su Yue was almost happy, crabs are good things, and they taste delicious when they are made. She was drooling all over. The meat and fish she ate here were all pork, or fish. She hadn’t eaten seafood yet, and she had long wanted to eat it. Now was the time!
A dish came to Su Yue’s mind immediately. She couldn’t wait to take the small basket of crabs to the water basin, used a small brush to clean the edges and seams of the crabs, cut them in half, and then exposed the crabs. Then Coat the middle of the meat with flour to seal in the juices.
Wu Xiaoxiao couldn’t bear to leave the kitchen even half a step, and stared at Su Yue’s movements and asked curiously: “Su Yue, how do you cook it? I heard that crabs are all steamed, but it doesn’t look like you want to steam them.”
Su Yue while pouring oil into the pot, she replied: “I really don’t want to steam it. I plan to make a sauce-fried crab for you.”
Although Wu Xiaoxiao didn’t know what sauce-fried crab was, it didn’t stop her from knowing that it must be a very, very delicious dish. After all, with Su Yue’s cooking skills its impossible to make an unpalatable dishes.
Su Yue put the flour-coated crabs into the oil pan and deep-fried them until golden brown, then scooped out the excess oil in the pan, sauteed the onions, ginger, and garlic until fragrant, then added the fried crabs again, poured in a little wine, and removed the crabs. Then added the sauce prepared in advance, boil over high heat until the juice is reduced, and finally added an appropriate amount of salt and sugar, and the dish is ready.
Suddenly the mouthwatering fragrance filled the air, and even Su Yue couldn’t help but swallow her saliva.
The brown sauce wrapped the crab meat in a shiny oily way, making the crab meat shiny red and brown. With the fragrance that always floated in the air, it was like a fairy on earth, and everyone was dumbfounded.
Li Xiaoqing didn’t even care about lighting the fire. She stood up and leaned on the stove to smell it, saying it smelled so good.
Seeing that everyone was greedy, Su Yue gave each person a pair of chopsticks so that everyone could try it in advance. Several people were not polite. Each person picked up a crab, took a few puffs and stuffed it into their mouth. Immediately, the deliciousness of the crab meat and the rich aroma of the sauce melted in the mouth at the same time. It was simply more delicious than meat.
The eyes of several people suddenly lit up, and Mao Lin even picked up her chopsticks, “I have eaten steamed crabs once before, but they were not delicious at all and had an earthy taste. But the crabs you made are so tasty , I wonder if the crabs I ate before were fake crabs.”
At this moment, the familiar voice of the system rang: Congratulations to the host, this fried crab dish with sauce was rated A-level by the system, and the host received fifty points!
Fifty points! Su Yue shook her ears to make sure she heard correctly. She jumped three feet high with joy and even shouted, “Awesome! Grade A! Hahaha!”
Li Xiaoqing and the other four were startled by her. Looking at her in surprise, “Su Yue, what’s wrong with you?”
Su Yue realized that she had expressed her inner excitement, coughed, and quickly explained: “I think the crab meat is so delicious. I can’t wait. But I am also going to make steamed pork ribs and braised pork, as well as shredded pork with Beijing sauce, and cook some white rice, that will be great.”
After hearing this,several people thought this was great, it was like a dream.
Su Yue bit her lip secretly, trying her best to suppress her inner excitement so as not to lose her composure. This is fifty points. It is the first time that her dish has achieved A level. She has gained fifty points at once, which is comparable to many dishes she has cooked. How can she not be excited?
Originally, her points were about to reach 800 points. She thought that if she worked hard in the past two days to cook more delicious food, she would be able to get the prescription. Who knew that she would get such a big surprise tonight?
A basket of crabs, and she got fifty points all at once because of the crabs. With these fifty points, plus several other dishes later, she already had enough points!
Ahhhh, great!
At this moment, the little melancholy caused by leaving the Han family disappeared, and was replaced by full strength rising in her body. Victory was right in front of her. She was finally going to climb to the top and touch the first stage. Victory!
Su Yue devoted herself to cooking with all her energy, cooking all the dishes at once, and then listened happily to the sound of the system prompting for points, and she was almost overjoyed.
That night, the five of them were so happy that they all had full stomach. In the end, they had to walk in the yard to digest, so as not to be too full and unable to sleep. Zhao Fang and Han Xiaoru were so angry that they almost vomited blood.
The two of them were starving here, and they could only eat steamed buns and drink big lump porridge. But, these five people enjoyed the spicy food alone, and eat so much that they were so full that they couldn’t sleep.
At night, after everyone fell asleep, Su Yue opened the points panel in her mind and was pleasantly surprised to find that the number on it was exactly eight hundred. She earned exactly eight hundred points.
Su Yue wanted to cry a little. From the moment she arrived here, she had been working hard for points. Earning them were on her mind every day.
In order to earn points, she cooked delicious food every day and tried her best to get the ingredients. Cooking delicious food was like a machine that couldn’t stop. At this moment, all the hard work finally paid off and she could finally take a breath.
Su Yue smiled like an idiot, “System, I have 800 points, can I redeem the prescriptions now?”
The system felt her happiness, and seemed to have a hint of lightness when she spoke: Congratulations to the host, Are you sure you want to redeem the product immediately?
Su Yue said without hesitation: “OK.”
System: “OK, we will exchange it for you now, please wait.”
Three seconds later, there was a “ding” sound, and the number on the points panel returned to zero, and Su Yue had an extra prescription in her mind. Now she could see the text on the prescription, which was written in ten lines. The Chinese medicinal materials and cooking methods are written in beautiful block letters.
The system reminded at this time: “Host, all the products you purchase with points belong to you personally. You can look at them in your mind or take them out. As long as you close your eyes and recite the name of the product silently, the product will automatically arrive in your hand.”
When Su Yue heard this, she felt very novel, and immediately followed the method the system told her, reciting the recipe silently in her heart, and then the next second, a piece of rice paper fell on her hand.
Fortunately, it was night now and the lights were turned off, so no one noticed that there was a prescription in Su Yue’s hand.
Su Yue endured her excitement and did not get up to light a lamp and take a look. Instead, she folded the paper carefully and stuffed it under the pillow to make sure it would not be lost. Then she closed her eyes and went to sleep contentedly.
Tomorrow, she is going to surprise him in advance!
