These are dumplings stuffed with pork and chives.
How to say it?
After swallowing it, Bai Ying couldn't help but nod and praise in her heart.
The filling she prepared tasted no worse than Wen Shuyu's, but Wen Shuyu's filling was obviously more in line with the tastes of people of this era.
And he was so considerate that he put a dried shrimp in each dumpling. It was fresh and fragrant when chewed, and there was nothing wrong with it except that it was a little oily.
Of course, she was not used to the taste, not because Wen Shuyu was not good at cooking.
"Congratulations to Comrade Wen for winning the electric fan as a reward for this event! Let's applaud Comrade Wen!"
Under Yuan Xuemei's advocacy, the military wives could only applaud reluctantly.
Afterwards, Wen Shuyu was put on a big red flower and pushed to the front of the stage to receive the award. A red cloth strip with the words "The Most Beautiful Military Wife" was pinned on the big red flower. It decorated his chest, making him look more energetic and youthful.
Wen Shuyu smiled shyly, looking a little embarrassed.
Snap!
Yuan Xuemei, who was standing by, quickly captured the scene with her camera to use in her report after the event.
Although everyone was discouraged, they still had to do the rest of the work. A group of people enthusiastically wrapped up the remaining stuffing and prepared to take it to the canteen to cook it and reward the soldiers.
As for...the filling prepared by Qiao Xiaoling?
There was really no way to use it, so I just let her take it home and eat it herself.
As for whether Qiao Xiaoling and her family would eat it, no one knows.
After finishing her work, Bai Ying left the bustling scene and went home first, waiting for Chen Ao to come back from the cafeteria to eat together.
However, before Shen Ao returned, Wen Shuyu went to find Bai Ying first.
"Bai Ying, do you want an electric fan?"
When Wen Shuyu came, he even brought the electric fan he had just acquired.
The electric fan was brand new, making Bai Ying's house a lot brighter.
Bai Ying was surprised and asked, "Brother Wen, don't you need it? It's summer now, won't your house be hot without a fan?"
Wen Shuyu smiled and said, "Jianhua bought one last year, and we don't need this one. I see you seem to want it very much, so I might as well give it to you."
“Okay, okay!”
Bai Ying was so happy that she went into the main room and took out some money. "An electric fan costs more than twenty yuan on the market, and you need an industrial ticket to buy it. I'll give you forty."
"No, twenty is enough."
Wen Shuyu only kept twenty yuan and returned the rest to Bai Ying. "Next month is Jianhua's birthday. She doesn't have much to wear except her military uniform. I want to go to the department store in the county town and buy her some clothes."
Hearing this, Bai Ying looked at Wen Shuyu with a hint of admiration in her eyes.
What a good man!
Hua Jianhua must have done so many good things in her previous life to be able to find such a good man in this life.
"Jianhua is about to get off work, and I have to go back to cook for her. I'll leave first. We can talk another day." After exchanging the money, Wen Shuyu did not stay any longer. She left the electric fan and left.
After watching Wen Shuyu leave, Bai Ying quickly moved the electric fan to a place close to the plug, plugged it in and turned on the switch.
The next moment, the electric fan started to hum, and the cool wind it blew out made Bai Ying so comfortable that she couldn't help but squint her eyes.
The fan is finally on!
So cool~
Bai Ying felt a chill all over her body, and her originally hot body suddenly cooled down.
It’s not that Bai Ying’s reaction was exaggerated. The main reason was that global warming was not as serious as it would be later, so summer was not as hot as it would be later. So having a fan was cool enough, much cooler than using a palm-leaf fan.
Squeak——
The door was pushed open from the outside, and Shen Ao came back with hot dumplings he had just brought back from the cafeteria.
"Where's the fan?"
Shen Ao was stunned for a moment when he looked at the fan in the room.
Neither of them has an industrial ticket, so where did Bai Ying get the fan?
"hey-hey!"
Bai Ying smiled slyly, unable to hide the smugness in her eyes and eyebrows. "Have you forgotten about the selection of the most beautiful military wife? The chosen one will be rewarded with an electric fan!"
"You won a prize?"
Chen Ao placed two servings of dumplings on the table and sat down across from Bai Ying. He looked at Bai Ying's smug face and praised her in unison, "You're worthy of being our Bai Ying's cooking god. As long as you make a move, the prize will be easily won."
He was quite confident in Bai Ying's cooking skills.
The cooking skills of the military wives in the family compound are just above the passing level for home cooking. Bai Ying is so professional, so she must win the award, right?
"wrong!"
Unexpectedly, Bai Ying shook her head and announced, "I didn't win the prize. Guess who won?"
"Well……"
Chen Ao hadn't expected that his flattery would actually backfire. He felt a moment of embarrassment, coughing lightly before finally asking, "Who is that? Is there anyone in our family compound whose cooking skills are better than yours?"
"You never thought it was Brother Wen!"
Bai Ying described the events of the competition in vivid detail, and she sounded so excited that she looked even happier than if she had won the award herself.
Bai Yingcai stopped talking until he felt thirsty, picked up the cup and gulped down a bellyful of boiled water to moisten his throat.
Shen Ao: “…”
For some reason, he felt a little jealous.
Is she so happy for Bai Ying’s senior brother because he won the award?
If... he won the award, would Bai Ying be so happy for him?
For a moment, Shen Ao complained a little about why he couldn't participate in the "Most Beautiful Military Wife" selection event.
