Chapter 134 Strawberry
Everyone's vegetables had just been planted at this time, so there was nothing to eat at this time. The things everyone sent over were radishes, cabbage sprouts, leeks, garlic sprouts, and some people even sent wild vegetables.
Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue had already washed all the vegetables while she was washing the ribs, so now Wen Xi only needed to cut the vegetables and start stir-frying them.
Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue also knew how to cook, so the three of them used the remaining three pots to start cooking. After each pot was cooked, they took out the vegetables and put them into a wooden basin specially used for cooking. Then they started cooking the second pot, the third pot...
Wang Xiaoju and Sun Mei were in charge of cooking on the other side. Seeing that Wen Xi and the other three were cooking very well without them having to worry about anything, they both nodded in satisfaction.
At first they were reluctant to cook with the three educated youth, fearing that they would fall behind. But now it seems that they are doing particularly well and are better than them in making arrangements.
There were a limited number of tables and benches in the canteen, and it was impossible for the entire Harvest Brigade to eat at the same time. Therefore, Captain Qian used to arrange for everyone to eat in batches, starting with the elderly, children and pregnant women, and then the able-bodied laborers. It is still the same now.
Everyone came to the cafeteria to eat. They first went to Wang Xiaoju and Sun Mei to get their meals. After getting their meals, they came to Wenxi to get dishes. Wenxi scooped a whole spoonful of each dish for them and asked them to finish their meals and come over to drink the soup. Some people wanted to eat rice with soup, so he gave them bone soup.
At that time, the phenomenon of favoring boys over girls was very serious. Girls were like little nannies from a young age. They had to do everything and they didn't have enough to eat. So Wenxi would secretly give the girls more vegetables, just wanting them to take this opportunity to eat more and keep their bodies healthy, because when the farming season was slack, they couldn't even get enough water to drink.
Everyone got their meals, found a seat, and started eating. Those who started eating first were obviously stunned for a moment. Although they were ordinary dishes, they tasted better than before, and everyone praised them highly.
Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue already had experience, so Wen Xi left the task of serving food to the second group of people, while she went to the river bend to continue catching small fish.
Wenxi put the bamboo basket into the water, then took a section of pig intestines and threw it in. Then he sat on a rock and waited. As soon as a school of fish swam in, Wenxi would quickly lift the bamboo basket up and pour the fish into the basin, and then repeat the cycle over and over again...
When Wen Xi was catching small fish by the river, Lin Yiwan came over with a bowl of rice and squatted beside Wen Xi. "I just asked Shen Jiaojiao, and she said that you cooked today's dishes. I didn't expect your cooking skills are so good. Your dishes are really delicious."
Wen Xi smiled faintly, "I've been cooking since I was a child, I've practiced it."
Wen Xi was quite popular at home, and in her family the boys did the housework, so she didn't have to do housework since she was a child. On the contrary, she just knew how to do housework, but she wasn't very good at it. The reason why she was so good at it now was because of the training she received in that old man's house in her previous life.
On the contrary, Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue have been taking care of housework since they were old enough to understand. Shen Jiaojiao's parents seem to be very good to Shen Jiaojiao, but they know that Shen Jiaojiao's grandmother is patriarchal and doesn't like Shen Jiaojiao, but they still want to let the two of them live together. It can be seen that they probably don't care that much about Shen Jiaojiao.
"I have been cooking since I was a child, but my cooking is not as delicious as yours." Lin Yiwan said, but in fact, she had never cooked much in the 21st century. She only started learning how to cook after she came here.
After all, the whole family is working hard to earn work points, so she can't just sit at home and play, right?
"Xiaoxi, what are you doing?" Seeing Wenxi busy in the water, Lin Yiwan asked curiously.
Wenxi lifted the bamboo basket out of the water and poured the small fish inside into the wooden basin. "It's the spring farming season now, and there's nothing good to eat for everyone, so I wanted to catch some small fish for everyone to eat."
Thinking of today's radish and bone soup, Lin Yiwan nodded thoughtfully. There are so many people in the team, even a pig is not enough for one meal. Where does the team get the money to buy meat for everyone?
"Yiwan, the pork offal at the pork stall costs a few dollars a piece, and a piece weighs several dozen pounds. Add some side dishes and cook a big pot. Each person can get a bowl. Do you think Captain Qian will agree if I ask him to buy a piece of pork offal?" Wen Xi looked at Lin Yiwan and asked curiously.
Lin Yiwan shook her head. "I'm not sure either, but I don't have anything to do. I can go and ask for you."
"Okay, then I'll trouble you. I don't know when I can finish dealing with these small fish, and I really don't have time to find Captain Qian!" Wen Xi said.
Afterwards, Lin Yiwan got up and left with the bowl of rice, while Wen Xi continued to squat there. After squatting for a long time, her legs became sore, so she just sat down on the ground.
By making herself look a little disheveled, everyone can see how hard she works, to avoid people thinking that she cooks for enjoyment. In order to make everyone eat better, she contributes all her oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, and racks her brains to improve everyone's meals.
Wenxi and the other five people who were in charge of cooking had already eaten before the elderly and children came to eat, so after everyone finished eating and left the cafeteria, they cleaned up the cafeteria, locked the door and went back. They would come back to cook dinner after two hours. Anyway, everyone could have dinner as soon as they got off work.
Wenxi also moved the dried fish to the cafeteria. After all, no one was watching there. What if they were eaten by wild cats or stolen by others?
The team doesn't have that much funding to let everyone eat meat every day, otherwise why would they buy a basket of cheap pork bones today that don't require a ticket!
After all, there are so many people in the team, even if we kill a pig, it won’t be enough for everyone to eat!
In March, the temperature difference between morning and evening is quite large. It is like winter in the morning and evening, and like summer at noon. The temperature can reach as high as 20 to 30 degrees. It is necessary to add or remove clothes in time, so at noon, everyone changed into thin coats.
Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue went home and drank a glass of water, then picked up their backpacks and ran to the bamboo forest impatiently, racing against time to make money.
Now Zhao Zhiping is in charge of the eels, Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue are in charge of the bamboo shoots, and Wen Xi has nothing to do. She is only responsible for going to the black market for transactions on Thursday morning.
Suddenly there was a knock on the door, Wen Xi hurried out to open it, and saw that it was Lin Yiwan, and was a little surprised, "Yiwan, why don't you rest at home?"
Lin Yiwan entered the yard, lifted the old cloth covering the basket, and said mysteriously, "I found a field of wild strawberries on the mountain today. There were white and red ones. I picked a lot, but they can't be kept for long and need to be eaten quickly, so I brought some to you."
