When Bai Guoguo heard that Grandma Gao's craftsmanship was so good, she asked He Gang to help her exchange a backpack, a bamboo basket and a small basket for dry food.

She also wanted to exchange some kitchen utensils as she had to cook and couldn't leave, so she had to trouble He Gang to make a trip.

He Gang went out and asked a few other people. When he heard that they also needed kang mats, he took them to Grandma Gao's house.

Bai Guoguo, who had just sent He Gang out the door, concentrated on cooking her meal.

She first boiled a pot of water, put the rice in and cooked it for four or five minutes. When only a hard core of rice was left, she took it out and put it in an enamel basin she bought in the morning.

The rice that was not scooped out of the pot was cooked into a pot of thin porridge with the rice soup.

After the rice was cooked and bloomed, it was scooped into a clean basin with a spatula. This basin was bought by Bai Guoguo before he traveled through time.

This time she took it out under the cover of two large sacks, otherwise she would have no tableware to use in such a hurry.

However, if I find opportunities to go to the commune or county more often in the future, I can take out more things to use.

After scooping up the rice porridge, clean the pot and put some fatty part of bacon in it. After stir-frying until the oil comes out, add lean meat and stir-fry until fragrant. Finally, pour in the half-cooked rice, add a little water, cover it with a lid, and simmer on low heat for a quarter of an hour.

Since there was no lid for the pot at the moment, I had to use an enamel basin to cover it.

Bai Guoguo remembered the braised pork and sweet and sour pork she had just eaten in the morning, so she simply took them out of the army green shoulder bag, planning to heat them up and add two more dishes later.

With a burst of fragrance, the bacon rice was soon out of the pot. She scooped out a small amount with a spatula, tasted it and found the saltiness was just right, then shoveled the rice into the enamel basin that had been placed on the pot as a lid.

Then he washed the pot and poured the whole box of braised pork into it. Afraid that it wouldn't be enough, he took advantage of the fact that no one was around to sneak in a portion from the space and poured it in to cook together.

I looked at the other box of sweet and sour pork on the stove, and thinking it was a bit conspicuous, I simply put it into the space.

This is not modern times. There is already bacon in the rice, and with the braised pork in the pot, it is already more than enough.

When the overbearing aroma of Bai Guoguo's braised pork filled the entire educated youth compound, He Gang, He Hongjun, and three other educated youth who had gone out to change the kang mats came back.

The other old educated youth who went to work at the educated youth site also returned to the compound one after another.

Everyone was tempted by the aroma of meat that filled the yard, their mouths watering and their stomachs rumbling.

"Captain He, are the comrades behind you our new educated youth?"

Song Qingshan, the oldest educated youth who arrived the earliest, said.

"Yes, these three are new educated youths. There is also Bai Guoguo. Bai Zhiqing is in the backyard."

He Gang was holding a roll of kang mat and a backpack in his hand. He looked back at the three educated youth behind him who were introducing He Qingshan.

He Hongjun, who was standing next to He Gang, was also holding the bamboo plaque and bamboo basket that He Gang had exchanged for Bai Guoguo. There were also some small things in the bamboo basket.

Behind them, Li Dongyang, Yang Xiaoyong and Wang Qiuyu were also holding kang mats and some bamboo baskets and other utensils.

Upon hearing this, the three new educated youth walked forward and introduced themselves to the old educated youth. For a moment, the front yard became noisy.

Bai Guoguo, who had prepared food in the backyard, naturally heard the commotion in front. She thought it must be the old educated youth who had returned, so she also went to the front yard.

"Hello everyone, I'm a new educated youth. My name is Bai Guoguo. I'm very happy to meet you!"

When Bai Guoguo walked to the front yard, she happened to hear everyone introducing themselves, so she introduced herself as well.

"Hello, Bai Zhiqing, welcome to our big family. I am the oldest among our Zhiqing group. My name is Song Qingshan."

Song Qingshan, the person in charge of the educated youth site, was one of the earliest educated youth to arrive. He is 27 years old this year and looks exactly like a local farmer.

It is conceivable that the educated youth in the early years suffered a lot. Bai Guoguo was once again thankful that he traveled back to the era of educated youth and was not forced to work in the fields.

"Hello, Comrade Song. Thank you for your guidance in the future." Bai Guoguo greeted him with a smile.

With Song Qingshan's introduction, the old educated youth introduced themselves again.

Bai Guoguo also took the opportunity to recognize all the former educated youth. The male educated youth were Song Qingshan, Zhao Jianshe, Zhao Jianguo, Li Changjiang, Huang Dashan, and Wang Yuan. Among them, Zhao Jianshe and Zhao Jianguo were cousins.

The female old educated youth include Jiang Qingqing and Li Xiaomei. There were other female educated youth before, but I heard that they all got married or returned to the city.

Now with the addition of the four new arrivals, there are now 12 educated youths in this educated youth center.

"It's a rare opportunity to take advantage of everyone being here, and since we have new comrades here, why not discuss how to eat while everyone is here?"

Song Qingshan, the elder brother at the educated youth site, raised this difficult question directly.

"We originally split up into two groups for dinner. I wonder what the new comrades are planning."

Among the female educated youth, Jiang Qingqing is the oldest. She was also the person in charge of the female educated youth at the educated youth site.

"Bai Zhiqing, what do you think? Do you want to eat with us?"

Li Dongyang asked Bai Guoguo. He had just smelled the fragrance of Bai Guoguo cooking in the backyard. He hoped that Bai Guoguo could share the meal with the three newcomers.

"Don't bother you. I've already bought the pot and I can light the fire myself."

Bai Guoguo quickly waved her hand to refuse. She didn't want to get involved with these people. Among the three, Yang Xiaoyong was the easiest to get along with. The other two had a lot of things to do.
