Surprise! The rough husband is the hidden boss of the period literature

Chapter 53 Another Day Without Hooking Up

This is the first meal in the new home, commonly known as "Liao Guo Di".

Qiao Xinyu was quite capable. He actually exchanged for half a bag of salt, half a bottle of soy sauce, and two fish, each weighing five or six taels. In those days, there was no fish fed with feed, and basically all of them were wild fish.

A piece of tofu.

Two eggplants, three tomatoes, and a handful of peppers.

Without a chopping board or knife, Xu Qinghuan took a dagger and scaled the crucian carp, cut open its belly, removed its gills, cleaned it, and marinated it with salt for a while to enhance its flavor.

She was the only one at home, so she took out some oil from the space. If anyone asked, she would say that it was oil made from fried bacon. Anyway, those people were all young ladies and gentlemen who were ignorant of the world.

As for Yu Xiaomin, Xu Qinghuan heard her say that her family was not well off. They only used half a pound of oil a month, and her mother would only drip a drop of oil into the pot every time. In this way, how could they tell whether it was lard or rapeseed oil?
Xu Qinghuan hummed a song while cooking. Jiang Xingye's family was the only one nearby, and there was an alley between them, so she was not afraid that the smell would spread to other people's homes.

She fried the eggplant with bacon. She cut almost half a pound of bacon into it. The fried eggplant was oily and looked very appetizing.

Wash the tomatoes, cut them into slices, and pickle them with sugar. It is simple and delicious.

Xu Qinghuan used the remaining half pound of bacon to stir-fry chili peppers.

The peppers were red and green. She removed the white fascia inside the peppers, cut them into slices, and stir-fried them in a pan. When the bacon changed color, she added a little soy sauce and served it.

The last thing to put into the pot is the fish. First, heat the pan with oil, then put the fish in and fry on both sides until golden brown. Add water and bring to a boil. Then cut the tofu into slices and put it in to cook. Simmer over low heat until the soup gradually turns milky white.

Although there is no ginger, onion or garlic, the wild crucian carp does not have a strong fishy smell, and because it is stewed for a long time, only bursts of fragrance can be smelled.

"It smells so good!" Chen Dewen's mouth started watering as he entered the yard.

Dai Yifeng and Zheng Siqi followed behind, with Qiao Xinyu and Yu Xiaomin walking at the end.

Except for Qiao Xinyu, the other four people went to the fields for the first time today. Although they only worked for half a day, they were exhausted. Even Yu Xiaomin looked unhappy.

There is water in the water tank, and it is very hot from the sun.

"Hurry up and wash up and eat!" Xu Qinghuan brought the dishes to the table. The dishes and fish soup were both packed in lunch boxes.

Fortunately, she bought three lunch boxes and Qiao Xinyu also brought two extra lunch boxes, otherwise there would be nothing to put the food in.

Dai Yifeng and the others went to the educated youth site to clean up first, and brought their own lunch boxes. When they saw the food, even Zheng Siqi, who paid special attention to his image, couldn't help but drool.

Xu Qinghuan first filled a lunch box with most of the food, then put some vegetables on the table, including about ten slices of bacon, and said to Qiao Xinyu and the others, "You guys eat first, I'll be back after I bring the food to someone."

Qiao Xinyu held her back and asked, "Who are you delivering it to?"

Xu Qinghuan raised his chin towards the neighbor next door and said, "Without the firewood they prepared, we wouldn't be able to cook this meal today. I'll go and return the favor."

"I'll go with you." Qiao Xinyu hurriedly stood up.

"No, you guys eat, it's next door, I'll be there soon."

Xu Qinghuan was not worried at all, because in the book, her best friend had another point about the boss's personality, which was that he was chaste and not interested in women.

However, it doesn't mean that the big brother is not capable. In order to shape the big brother's domineering personality, his best friend did not forget to add that he is gifted.

After work at noon, Jiang Xingye also came back. He first washed himself with water in the yard, changed his clothes, and went to the kitchen to light a fire.

There was still some cornmeal in the flour bag, so he added a little brown flour. Just as he was about to add water and knead the dough, he heard a clear voice outside shout, "Is anyone there? Comrade Jiang, are you there?"

Jiang Xingye thought he was hallucinating. He shook his head and ignored it.

But the footsteps were getting closer.

He quickly raised his head and saw the young woman coming over with a lunch box. Seeing him, she smiled and said, "Comrade Jiang, I'm here to thank you!"

Xu Qinghuan quickly explained her purpose, otherwise, people would think she had ulterior motives. She handed the lunch box over.
"I moved to a new house and I'm treating my friends at the Youth League site to a meal. I was planning to invite you over, but I was afraid you'd refuse, so I brought some food over for you!"

That was indeed her plan, but Jiang Xingye and the people at the educated youth point would definitely not get along. Wouldn't it be very awkward to invite them over?

Xu Qinghuan's arms were tired from lifting, and Jiang Xingye just looked at her straight, his eyes as calm as the sea in the middle of the night. Just when she thought Jiang Xingye would coldly keep her at a distance, surprisingly, Jiang Xingye took her lunch box.

He took a pair of chopsticks and opened the lunch box. Xu Qinghuan thought he was going to eat from his lunch box and hurriedly stopped him, "Hey, hey, hey, can you pour it out?"

Jiang Xingye turned his head to look at her, his brows knitted slightly, his expression somewhat dangerous. Xu Qinghuan swallowed hard and explained, "I haven't eaten yet. I said you should pour it out and eat it slowly. Well, I have to go back to eat. I don't have any extra bowls at home, only this lunch box."

This is her lunch box!

Jiang Xingye suddenly felt that the lunch box was a little hot, and his heart skipped a beat, but he said nothing. He found his own lunch box and put all the food in it.

He went to wash the lunch box. Xu Qinghuan was about to follow him, but then felt it was inappropriate. She stood awkwardly in the upper room and couldn't help but look around the room.

It was a mud-brick and thatched-roofed house with only two rooms. The one she was standing in had quite complicated functions, serving as a kitchen, dining room, and living room. There was another room next to it that was probably a bedroom.

As soon as Jiang Xingye came in, he saw Xu Qinghuan looking around. He calmly handed the lunch box back to Xu Qinghuan.

Xu Qinghuan took it and prepared to leave, but couldn't help asking, "The rent was originally agreed to be two yuan a month. I think two yuan is more appropriate..."

She didn't dare to take advantage of the big boss, as she always had a premonition that she would suffer heavy losses.

"No need!" After saying that, Jiang Xingye glanced outside, his intention to chase people away was very obvious.

Alas, another day without any hookup.

Xu Qinghuan walked out of the house in a bad mood. Jiang Xingye looked at her with her head drooping and felt that she looked quite pitiful. For a moment, he couldn't understand why she was unhappy when he reduced her rent by half.

Sitting at the table to eat, we had rice that we hadn't tasted for a long time. Half of the dishes were meat, fish and bacon. The eggplants were full of oil and the tomatoes were sweet. I have to say that this young educated youth had good cooking skills.

She must have made it herself.

There were three female educated youth living there in total. One worked in the fields, and another came later, leaving her alone at home.

He had never eaten food with such a strong smell of smoke.

Jiang Xingye drank up even the last bit of soup.

After washing the lunch box, he lay down on the bed. He had done so much heavy farm work in the morning that he usually fell asleep at noon, but today he was unexpectedly unable to sleep.

When Xu Qinghuan returned to the educated youth site, no one had started eating and was waiting for her.

"If you don't come back, I'll die of saliva!" Dai Yifeng joked.

Xu Qinghuan laughed, scooped up some rice, and hurriedly sat down at the table. He waved his chopsticks like a general giving orders, "Eat!"

Suddenly, several pairs of chopsticks on the table were waving, leaving afterimages.

Family, could you please vote for me with your free tickets? Could you please give me a five-star rating? Since I update three times a day, could you please reward my diligence?
