"Next time, please send some dried beans, dried mushrooms, dried bracken, and dried radish as well."
As soon as Ruan Qiqi heard about dried bamboo shoots, her mouth started to water. Dried bamboo shoots are delicious when stewed with meat or duck, and other dried vegetables are also delicious. There are quite a few fresh vegetables in the space, but she is too lazy to dry them, so the ones that cannot be eaten are fed to the chickens and ducks.
"Okay, I'll send it next time. I dried a lot of ferns this year, enough for you and your brother-in-law to eat."
Ruan Xiaoxue is very hardworking. She does not rest after work, but goes up the mountain to pick wild vegetables, cooks them and dries them, which can last her a whole winter.
"Also, ask Second Aunt to dry more chili sauce this year, and add more silkworms and sword beans. We will provide the ingredients and give her some wages so that she can dry it to make it more delicious."
Ruan Qiqi remembered something very important. The bottle of chili sauce that was sent to her last time was almost finished by her and Lu Ye. The chili sauce needs strong sunlight to be dried, usually in July and August. The process is very complicated and requires enough patience. It needs to be moved out at sunrise and moved back at sunset. It needs to be dried for at least a month.
The team leader's wife is strong, patient, and clean. The chili sauce she dries is especially delicious. Some women in the village are unhygienic and the chili sauce they dry ends up with maggots. She won't eat it even if it's given to her for free.
"Why not ask my second aunt to make some fermented tofu? The fermented tofu she makes is also delicious. My elder sister and I can't make it taste that good." Ruan Xiaoxue said with a smile.
"Just cook whatever you want to eat. I sent a hundred dollars to your family a few days ago. Did you receive it?"
Ruan Qiqi couldn't help swallowing her saliva. The captain's wife was a good woman who was good at both housework and civil work. The captain, such a coward, was really not worthy of her.
"I got it. Second sister, please don't send it anymore. We don't spend much money in the countryside, but you and your brother-in-law have to spend money everywhere in the city. If you send too much, your brother-in-law will have some ideas."
Ruan Xiaoxue conveyed her eldest sister's words. She thought so too. When her second sister left, she left 200 yuan for the family, and sent another 100 yuan a while ago. The frequency of sending money made her and her eldest sister a little nervous, worried that Lu Ye would have some ideas.
"He is a member of our Ruan family. What can he think? Just spend the money you are given. Don't be stingy. I plan to find a job for my eldest sister in Tanzhou. When you go to the army, she and Nian Nian Pan Pan will be left at home. It's better for us to go to the city. Go back and tell my eldest sister and see what she thinks."
Ruan Qiqi spoke in a carefree tone. Not to mention that the money was her own, even if it was Lu Ye's salary, he would not say anything. She had just taught him a lesson on "Male Virtues" a while ago, and he had learned it very well.
"Okay, I'll go home and ask my eldest sister and second sister if I can really join the army."
Ruan Xiaoxue's voice was very excited. She had always dreamed of joining the army and never expected that her dream would come true one day.
When she thought about wearing the heroic military uniform and carrying the wooden warehouse, she was so excited that she wanted to cry. When the day came that she became a soldier, she would go to her father's grave and tell him the good news.
"Of course you can. You should study more quotations at home and try to recite them by heart. It will be good for you."
Ruan Qiqi advised that there would be great benefits at least in the next five or six years.
"I recite it every day, but I can't recite it backwards."
Ruan Xiaoxue felt ashamed that she was not as good at studying as her second sister. After memorizing for so long, she still couldn't recite it fluently.
"Take your time, it's getting dark, you should go home quickly."
"Second sister, I'm dead!"
When Ruan Xiaoxue went to settle the phone bill, it turned out to be more than four dollars. Her heart ached when she paid. If she had known earlier, she would not have said so much nonsense. She could say a lot in a letter, and it only cost eight cents.
Ruan Qiqi went home to cook dinner. Ruan Guiming and his family had passed away. It was such a great joy that they had to eat something delicious to celebrate.
Originally she only planned to make blood-baked duck, steamed fish, and cook a spinach meatball soup, but now she wants to make stir-fried beef, golden eggs, and fried fish with chili.
There is ready-made blood cake in the space supermarket. Pour duck blood into glutinous rice and steam it. After cooling, it becomes blood cake. Cook it with duck to make blood cake duck, which is especially delicious. Blood cake duck blood cake Lu Ye smelled the tempting aroma downstairs. As soon as he smelled it, he knew that it must be the dish made by his Qiqi. No other family’s guests could make such a delicious dish.
Just as Ruan Qiqi had put the dishes on the table, Lu Ye came back on time. He washed his hands obediently and without her instructions, he took the dishes he had served separately to Gao Shangjin's house. When he came back, he was holding a few pieces of black bacon.
"It was sent by Gao Shangjin's hometown. He insisted on giving it to me, saying that his cousin doesn't eat bacon."
Lu Ye hung up the bacon. This bacon, smoked with a smoky smell, looked dark and ugly, but it tasted really delicious. It was his favorite.
This kind of bacon does not need to be fried, just cook it and cut it into slices, dip it in chili powder and it will be especially delicious. Lu Ye can finish two pounds in one go. Fire pit bacon, super delicious. This bacon is so delicious that you can eat it without making a sound. Lu Ye also praised the blood duck at night. He added rice to the remaining dishes, mixed them, and even ate the bottom of the basin.
"I sent 634.3 yuan and wrote a letter."
Ruan Qiqi briefly explained the contents of the letter, and she did not lie. Lin Manyun was indeed lazy and gluttonous on the farm, always pretending to be sick to escape work, but she was always seen through by Yuan Huilan and beaten with a bamboo stick.
Lin Manyun is a typical selfish woman. She only cares about herself and doesn't care that much about her own son. People like her can actually live a good life, but unfortunately she was unlucky and met Ruan Qiqi. Her good days are over!
The Lu Jiefang brothers were stabbed again and again by their own mother, and even the deepest mother-son love would be broken.
"They got it for free, Qiqi, you really have a kind heart!"
Lu Ye attentively picked up a piece of duck liver and put it in her bowl. It was Ruan Qiqi's favorite.
"I made a net profit of more than 200 yuan!"
Ruan Qiqi glared. She was not a kind-hearted person, but the crime of the Lu Jiefang brothers did not deserve the death penalty. To be honest, these two fools had committed a sin.
If Lin Manyun could think more about her son, she should be nicer to Lu Ye. However, she knew that Lu Ye would take his anger out on her son, and she bullied Lu Ye even more, obviously not taking her son seriously.
After dinner, Lu Ye took the initiative to wash the dishes, wiped the tables, cabinets and chairs, and mopped the floor, while Ruan Qiqi lay leisurely on the sofa, eating crispy chili peppers.
Another day passed, and the three-day deadline agreed with Pei Yuan arrived. Lu Ye went to work, and Ruan Qiqi went to the post office to call Pei Yuan, expressing her agreement to join, but he had to bring Manzai with him.
"Manzai has superb ventriloquism skills and can help me a lot."
"Yes, but Comrade Lou Yuanfei can only go on missions with you. His salary is 100 yuan, and his bonus is the same as everyone else's. Is that okay?"
Pei Yuan agreed. He had seen Manzai's ventriloquism skills before, and they were indeed lifelike. But Manzai was different from ordinary people after all, and there were great limitations on the missions he could perform, so his salary could only be set at 100 yuan.
"Okay, where do I go to do the formalities?"
Ruan Qiqi agreed on behalf of Manzai, and she believed that Guan Zhihua and his parents would definitely agree.
"Do you know the Wutong West Point (fictitious)?"
Pei Yuan asked suddenly.
"You know, your old nest?"
Ruan Qiqi immediately reacted. For special departments like this, their offices are usually hidden away in the city. Wutong Pastry Shop is located in the busiest city center and is particularly famous.
Pei Yuan twitched his lips. Old nest... this girl knows how to describe it.
It has the same effect as the last time I described Xiaocao's surname.
