Bringing Good Luck to your Husband in the ’70s

Chapter 62 : Hot Pot

  Han Aiguo sat down by the stove, but he didn’t move his chopsticks in a hurry. Instead, he took Su Yue’s hand and checked the gauze wrapped around her fingers. “How is the wound? Let me take a look.”

  So He couldn’t let go of even small injuries. Su Yue felt funny and moved, so she simply untied the gauze and showed it to him, “Look.”

  Han Aiguo looked at it, but his eyes were filled with surprise, and he searched back and forth on his fingers, only to see that the white and tender fingers were as smooth as ever, with no scars at all, as if they had never been cut by the knife at all. If he hadn’t seen Su Yue cut with a kitchen knife with his own eyes. A lot of blood was shed after the stabbing, and he almost suspected that there was something wrong with his eyes.

  ”Are you really okay ?” Han Aiguo’s tone was still full of disbelief. Even a small wound would not heal so quickly and completely.

  Su Yue smiled proudly, “Yes! See No traces can be seen at all. Isn’t it amazing?”

  Even Han Aiguo had to nod and acknowledge the medicine. It was so powerful that it could be called a miracle medicine. It could heal the wound in just two days without showing any signs of being injured. He dared to say that there was no medicine in the hospital that could do this.

  Where did such a magical medicine come from? Han Aiguo was really curious, but he knew that this was Su Yue’s secret, and if she didn’t want to tell it, he wouldn’t ask.

  Su Yue was also very satisfied with the effect of this medicine. Now that it had been verified that the medicine was very effective, Su Yue dared to use it with confidence on Han Aiguo, and immediately took the small bottle containing the medicine powder. The porcelain bottle was handed into his hand, “This medicine is specially prepared for you. You should carry it with you, especially when performing tasks or exercises. It can save your life when you encounter danger! You should keep it well. I only have this bottle for the time being, and I don’t know when I will get the second bottle.”

  Having seen the miraculous effect of this medicine with his own eyes, Han Aiguo certainly believed that this medicine could save lives, and he solemnly accepted it and put it in the secret pocket inside his clothes , “Don’t worry, I will definitely put it away.”

  Su Yue felt relieved and then said: “Okay, okay, let’s eat. We have Hot Pot I can guarantee you have never eaten such a delicious thing before.”

  Han Aiguo looked at the dishes on the coffee table and asked tentatively: “First put these vegetables into the soup, boil them, and eat them right ?”

  Su Yue nodded, “Don’t put them all at once, put some vegetables in first. When eating hot pot, you need to eat a little then put some more, then dip in the sauce. Wait here I will bring some more sauce.”

  After saying that, she ran to the kitchen to mix another two bowls of sauce. She couldn’t eat spicy food But Han Aiguo liked spicy food, so she made spicy sauce for him.

  At this time, the vegetables in the pot were just cooked. Su Yue took out a few pieces of meat and dipped them into Han Aiguo’s sauce bowl, then picked them up and brought them to his mouth, “Try it. Let’s see how it tastes.”

  Han Aiguo opened his mouth and ate with her hand, his eyes brightened, and then he chewed big mouthfuls. He didn’t need Su Yue to feed him again , he just followed her instructions and started eating, his mouth started to sweat after just a few bites, but he couldn’t bear to stop his chopsticks and ate very happily.

  Seeing that he was eating happily, Su Yue was also happy and dipped a piece of meat into the sauce for herself.

  When she brought it to her mouth, she suddenly felt that the food she was looking forward to eating just now had no taste at all. It was not as delicious as she imagined.

  She was a little disappointed. After eating a piece of meat, she stopped eating and started picking vegetables. However, she had a small appetite and was full after eating a few bites. She simply stopped eating and put down her chopsticks.

Then she watched Han Aiguo eat. She likes to watch him eat, it feels like a kind of enjoyment. Watching him eat big mouthfuls makes her feel that the food is delicious, and she is happier than eating herself. This is probably a common problem among all cooks.

  Han Aiguo frowned when he saw her putting down her chopsticks, “Why don’t you stop eating after eating so little? You only took a few bites. You didn’t even eat the noodles.”

  Su Yue shook her head, “I’m full, you can eat the rest and don’t leave anything behind.”

  Han Aiguo found a piece of cooked lean meat from the pot. He brought it to her mouth and said, “If you don’t eat the staple food then eat a few more bites of meat. You look thin, so you should eat more to make up for it.”

  Su Yue subconsciously turned her head back. She raised his head, frowned, held her stomach and shook her head, “No, no, no, I’m full, I can’t eat any more.”

  ”Be good, just eat a few more bies, and you won’t be able to hold on just a few bites.” Han Aiguo coaxed patiently.

  Su Yue suddenly became angry, and waved the chopsticks placed at her mouth open, “I told you I don’t want to eat, why do you insist on me eating!?”

  Han Aiguo did not expect that she would lose her temper suddenly. The chopsticks flew out after being hit by her, and the meat on the chopsticks also fell to the ground and could not be eaten.

  Su Yue was dumbfounded when she saw this, and suddenly felt regretful in her heart. She didn’t know what kind of psychosis she had just committed, and she got so angry when he was so good.

What did he do wrong , wasn’t he just feeling feel sorry for her for not eating enough and want to coax her to eat more meat. Why would she get angry with him? Is it possible that he really spoiled her temper?

  Su Yue quickly grabbed Han Aiguo’s hand and apologized to him, “I’m sorry, husband, I shouldn’t have gotten angry. Don’t be angry with me.”

  After that, she was about to pick up the chopsticks that she had knocked down far away, but he stopped her, “I’ll pick them up, don’t move.”

  Han Aiguo stepped over and picked them up. He picked up the meat that fell on the floor, walked into the kitchen, rinsed it with water, and then stuffed it into his mouth again to eat. It is not easy to eat meat these days. No one can throw it away as casually as people in later generations.

  Su Yue hurriedly rushed over to stop his hand, “Honey, don’t eat, it’s dirty, be careful of diarrhea.”

  Han Aiguo paused, although He felt that the meat could still be eaten after being washed, and it would be a waste not to eat it. However, seeing the worried expression on his young wife’s face, he finally endured the discomfort of wasting food and threw the meat into the trash can. He touched her little face and pampered her. She said: “Okay, I won’t eat.”

  Su Yue felt more and more guilty, feeling that she was too bad, so she threw herself into his arms and hugged his waist and said muffledly: “I’m sorry, husband , I will never lose my temper with you again.”

  Han Aiguo patted the little head in his arms, “What a big deal, why don’t you just lose your temper with me? I didn’t take it to heart. Come on, don’t take it to heart. If you want to get angry with me, just do it. Who said you can’t get angry ,I am your man. I have to get used to having a fierce wife at home.”

  His words made het laugh out loud, and she punched him, “I’m not a fierce wife. It’s nonsense, I am gentle.”

  There was a smile on his face and eyes, “Okay, okay, gentle, you are the gentlest.”

  Su Yue stopped talking to him and pulled him back again, “Hurry up and eat and leave me alone, I really don’t want to eat.”

  Han Aiguo didn’t force her to eat anymore. He rounded up the remaining dishes by himself, and finally returned and ate all the noodles that Su Yue can eat for two meals, and ate all the soup base into his stomach, leaving only a clean pot.

  If it weren’t for the fact that the pot couldn’t be chewed, pot would have entered his stomach.

  Su Yue was very impressed with his food intake, but she didn’t know where all the food this man ate went. He ate so much every day, but there was not a trace of fat on his body, except for bones and muscles, after putting on clothes, he looks very tall and slender. He is really a typical example of wearing clothes that make him look slimmer.

  To be honest, she was quite envious. If she ate as much as him every day, she would probably be a fat person by now.

  After dinner, Su Yue told Han Aiguo about growing vegetables in the back. Knowing that she wanted to buy some fertilizer to fertilize the soil, he said he would go to the logistics department the next day to get some.
Back home, the logistics department also planted vegetables and crops, and there were batches of fertilizers available for buying agricultural fertilizers.

  At noon the next day, Han Aiguo took the time to bring back some fertilizer that could be used as base fertilizer. Su Yue took the fertilizer and went to the vegetable garden to fertilize the soil.

  At this time, other military wives were sowing vegetable seeds in the vegetable garden. When several women saw Su Yue spreading fertilizer, they all looked at her strangely and asked, “Sister Su Yue, what are you doing? What are you spreading?”

  Su Yue didn’t think much and said it smoothly: “Spread some chemical fertilizer to fertilize the soil before planting vegetables, so that the vegetables can grow better.”

 It’s hard for Su Yue to tell others that she dislikes pouring water with excrement. As they will get angry after hearing this. After all, this is what everyone does these days. Won’t it be deliberate by saying it ? So she had to pretend to be stupid and said: “I didn’t think of it before, so I didn’t keep those things at home.”

 The sister-in-law who spoke said enthusiastically when she heard this: “Oh, it turns out that your family doesn’t have it. It’s okay. I have saved a lot at home, and I can’t use that much. I can lend it to you. Use a little to make the vegetables grow well. Your fertilizers are useless.”
After saying that, the sister-in-law actually gave Su Yue the dung bucket she brought and put it in front of Su Yue, even scooping out the fecal water.

 Many people have dung buckets at home, and pee and poop are kept in them for many days. They are specially saved to water the vegetable fields. Su Yue has never used this before. She disliked the fact that the excrement buckets at home were not clean and smelled.

That sister-in-law thought that Su Yue didn’t know how to grow vegetables, so she grinned and said, “Sister, you are so funny. You don’t have to use chemical fertilizers to grow vegetables. This is… It’s a rare thing. We usually just water it with the excrement and urine at home, so there’s no need to be as particular as you.”

  Most of the military wives here are from rural areas. They are used to farm work at home, so they naturally know about chemical fertilizers, but chemical fertilizers are bought by the brigade to increase the production of crops in the fields. No one has used it in this small vegetable patch yet. Who can grow vegetables without just getting some excrement from the toilet or watering it with urine from the toilet bucket at home?

  Stirring the excrement scoop, a stench suddenly rushed towards Su Yue. Coupled with the disgusting appearance of the excrement water in the excrement bucket when she accidentally glanced at it, Su Yue suddenly felt nausea in her chest, and the next second she couldn’t help but squat down and vomited. She vomited out all the food she had eaten for lunch, and kept spitting out sour water.

  People around her were dumbfounded by her behavior, especially the sister-in-law who brought the feces and water. She was at a loss and went to pat Su Yue on the back, “Sister, what’s wrong with you? You can’t do it. You are so delicate that you can’t stand the smell of excrement, right?”

  Seeing this, the people nearby couldn’t help but mutter in their hearts: Although this Su Yue is good-looking, it doesn’t mean that she is not from the countryside. Well, why are you so squeamish? You can’t even smell excrement. You are even more squeamish than the girls in the city. Don’t the sisters-in-law in the city also use excrement to water their vegetable fields?

  Su Yue vomited so much that she could not speak. The tip of her nose was still filled with the stench of feces. She was still feeling sick in her heart. She could only stand up with the helplessness all over her body and ran to the side until she could no longer smell the smell, and then she seemed to be alive, and the nausea in her stomach gradually subsided.

  The sister-in-law who was carrying excrement was not very happy when she saw her avoiding the excrement. She felt that her good intentions were being treated as a fool, just like avoiding the plague. Is it so disgusting? Everyone is from the countryside, and she seems to be more delicate than herself.

  So the sister-in-law carried the excrement back with a sullen face.

  Su Yue knew that she had offended her by acting like this, but she didn’t mean it. She just couldn’t control herself and spit it out. The smell almost killed her. It stands to reason that she used to use rural toilets when she was in Hanjiacun. Although she felt nauseous every time she went to the toilet, it was not as unacceptable as today, let alone vomiting.

  Is it possible that she has regained her 21st century squeamishness after not using the earthen toilet for a long time after coming here?

  After regaining some strength, Su Yue walked back and explained to her sister-in-law, who had just carried the fecal water for her: “Sister-in-law, I have been suffering from stomach discomfort in the past two days. I felt nauseated, so I vomited it out. But I really appreciate your kindness.”

  Su Yue said it very sincerely, and did not mean to dislike it at all, which really made this sister-in-law feel good. So she waved her hand and said it was okay.

  Now that nothing was wrong, Su Yue picked up the hoe again and divided the soil in the vegetable field into sections, and planted different vegetable seeds in each section. Spring has begun at this time, and there are more types of vegetables that can be grown. In addition to radishes and cabbages, you can also grow eggplants, peppers, tomatoes, etc. You should be able to eat the vegetables you grow in less than twenty days, and the weather will be better by then. When it’s hot, you can grow more vegetables, and then the types of vegetables on the table won’t be as monotonous as in winter.

  It is very frustrating to eat radish and cabbage all winter long. She has long wanted to change her taste.

  After working for a day, all the seeds were finally planted. Su Yue watered the vegetable field, then took the tools and returned home to prepare dinner.

  However, after working for a day, she felt sore and had no strength, so she just wanted to be lazy and do something simple.

  A simple and delicious meal was enough. She thought about it and found that there was just some pork left at home. Although the weather was still very cold, it could be stored in the freezer for a while, but it would not work if the meat was stored for too long. Just use all the meat and make a red oil recipe. This is delicious and simple, and she has never done it before, but she can earn some points and expand her “wallet”.

  Thinking this through, she took out the pork and shredded it into minced meat, then added onion, ginger, garlic, salt, pepper, starch, and eggs, stirred evenly with chopsticks, and covered it with a cloth then keep it for half an hour.

  Taking advantage of the time when the meat stuffing was settling up, she took out the flour and kneaded the dough, and made the dough into hand wrappers one by one. Then she wrapped the meat filling into the hand wrappers like wontons and wrapped them whole. It took about fifty wontons to stop.

  She will be satisfied if she eats seven or eight, and the rest will be given to Han Aiguo, which should be enough for him to eat.

  Su Yue felt that it was not easy for her to feed such an edible man.

  After finishing the cooking, add another condiment. This condiment is also very simple. Just put soy sauce, chili oil, chopped green onion, sesame oil, white sesame and red oil in the bowl.

  Looking at the time, Han Aiguo will be back soon. Su Yue put the hand into the water and boiled it, then put some cabbage leaves in and cooked together. This way it will relieve the greasiness and make it refreshing. After it is cooked, Take out the pickles and vegetable leaves and put them into the seasoning bowl. The red oil pickles are done.

  While Su Yue was listening to the reminder in her mind about how to get points, Han Aiguo stepped into the door. He smelled the alluring fragrance that was different from yesterday, and the corners of his mouth grinned unconsciously. After opening it, he couldn’t wait to step into the kitchen and hug his little wife, take a deep breath in her neck, and then look at today’s dinner, “What are you doing?”

  ”Hongyou Chaoshou, have you ever eaten it?”

  Han Aiguo shook his head, “It looks like a dumpling, but the dumpling is not so small and the skin is not so thin. What on earth is this?”

  Su Yue laughed. These dumplings were originally wontons, but they were called differently in different places. In other places, they were called dumplings. Anyway, there were many different names. People are stupid and can’t figure it out. But it doesn’t matter, as long as it tastes good, it doesn’t matter what it’s called.

  After listening to Su Yue’s explanation, Han Aiguo understood. He just felt that this Chinese cuisine is quite profound, but it is not something that a rough guy like him can understand. Anyway, he can eat whatever his wife makes.

  He brought the two bowls of hot rice to the dining table. When Su Yue moved her chopsticks, he lowered his head and started eating eagerly. In fact, no one knew that he was looking forward to eating most in the day. The most important thing is the moment when he returns home from training, there is a young wife waiting for him to return home, and there will be delicious food waiting for him. Such a life is really something he never dared to imagine before.

  Ever since he got used to Su Yue’s cooking, eating food cooked by himself or in the army canteen is really tasteless. But he got up early in the morning, so he could only eat a little by himself. If he couldn’t come back at noon, he had to eat in the cafeteria. Whenever his training is over he is the faster and more anxious than anyone else. Just like a child who is anxious to go home for dinner, he thought it was funny even when he thought about it.

  Seeing him laughing while eating, Su Yue asked in confusion: “Why are you laughing?”

  Han Aiguo shook his head, “I just feel good. I think all the men here don’t have dinner as good as the one I have.”

  It was rare to hear him say such childish and energetic words, Su Yue gave him a look, “Comrade Han Aiguo, Can we be more humble and low-key?”

  Han Aiguo nodded, and then silently used low-key actions to prove how delicious his dinner was.
