Chapter 123: The Spring Breeze of Admission Knowledge
The next morning, Yu Zhile was awakened by the bleating of sheep in the yard.
As soon as I opened my eyes, the vivid dream scenes were like a piece of tissue dropped into the water. The harder I tried to keep it, the faster it broke.
In just a few seconds, she had forgotten all the scenes.
"How come I can't remember anything at all?" Yu Zhile murmured.
However, she had a lot of things to do today and didn't have much time for these intangible things.
"Sister, good morning." Yu Chi was feeding the lamb. Hearing the voice, he looked up with a smile.
Fang Zhuo was accompanying him, and next to the wheelchair was a basket of fresh green grass still covered with dew.
"Where did the grass come from?" Yu Zhile wrung out the towel and wiped his face.
Yu Chi shook his head and pointed to the gate.
"Jiang Shangqing sent it." Yu Yue walked out of the kitchen carrying the rice porridge and added, "He put it down and left."
"I'll send some eggs to the cowshed later," said Yu Zhile.
Ring, ring, ring, the crisp sound of bicycle bells abruptly interrupted the conversation between the sister and brother.
Then, Chen Zhao, carrying a can of black bean dace, walked into everyone's field of vision and said in a funny way, "Ding ding ding ding, I brought some food to have breakfast."
"We haven't seen each other for a few days, how come you've become so distant?" Yu Wanqin pretended to be angry, "Don't be so polite next time."
Dr. Hu saved her life, and she treated Chen Zhao like her own son.
"Aunt, I still have more than a dozen cans. Please help me eat some." Chen Zhao said with a smile.
After a round of jokes, Yu Wanqin was coaxed into smiling, and the family sat down to have breakfast.
The heated black bean sauce dace is even more crispy and fragrant, and goes well with the warm white porridge, soothing the restless internal organs.
However, Yu Wanqin was very concerned about Chen Zhao's work and asked more than a dozen questions during the meal.
"Aunt, don't worry, I'm doing very well in the factory." Chen Zhao put down his bowl and chopsticks.
Yu Wanqin produced a handful of candies and biscuits from somewhere, handed them to him, and said, "Here, eat them when you're hungry. I'll have more when you're done."
Chen Zhao couldn't refuse, so he stuffed everything into his bag and rode his bike to work.
"Don't bear it if you have something to worry about. If you can't do it, just quit your job." Yu Zhile went out with him. "The village wants to set up a non-staple food processing team, and they are in need of people."
"Once I find the weakness of that old pervert, I will quit my job and hang out with me." Chen Zhao stood up and rode his bike hard.
Yu Zhile looked at his passionate expression and smiled.
Suddenly, she remembered the content of the telegram and asked what it meant.
"My childhood friend said it was difficult to find an opportunity to contact Brother Zhou. I succeeded once but failed the second time. I'm going to try another method." Chen Zhao translated for her.
Children who grew up in military compounds loved to play the game of soldiers and thieves. This was a secret code they agreed upon behind the scenes.
Yu Zhile suddenly understood.
"In other words, Brother Zhou is safe now, you don't have to worry." Chen Zhao added.
Yu Zhile hummed, and the two of them stopped talking after that.
When they arrived at Haidong Town, they rode in different directions. Yu Zhile went to find Mr. Chen, and Chen Zhao went to work.
"Knock knock." Yu Zhile knocked on the door of Mr. Chen's courtyard.
"Hey, here you are." Old Chen's voice came closer and closer. He was very surprised to see her when he opened the door. "Xiao Yu, you're just in time. Come in, come in."
As soon as Yu Zhile entered the door, more than ten pairs of eyes were staring at her, one of whom was Liu Ying.
"This is Comrade Yu Zhile from Haiyu Village." Old Chen introduced him to everyone, then turned around and introduced the people present to her.
Except for Liu Ying and her secretary, the rest are professionals in marine aquaculture, and their research directions are different.
Yu Zhile greeted them one by one, and then sat next to Mr. Chen.
After the explanation, she learned that these people were experts specially invited by Liu Ying to develop the common prosperity plan. They would be stationed in each village to provide on-site guidance.
The expert group arrived the day before yesterday and inspected more than a dozen coastal villages in Haidong Town. They determined the species to be cultivated based on the conditions of each village. Haiyu Village is suitable for cultivating algae and tiger shrimp.
Liu Ying worked vigorously and decisively, completing the preliminary preparations for the plan in just a few days. Today was the last major meeting before the plan began.
During the period, Yu Zhile used the knowledge he had learned in modern times to solve some minor problems, which gave everyone new ideas and made the discussion more heated.
The meeting lasted for two full hours, and a group of people over 50 were still full of energy.
"I believe that you will definitely bring good luck to Haidong Town." Liu Ying said with a serious expression.
Everyone agreed and said in unison: "We will do our best to let the spring breeze of knowledge bring a new look to everyone."
A firm and powerful voice floated out from the courtyard to the surroundings.
At this point, the meeting ended, everyone stood up and left, and only four people were left in the yard.
"Teacher Luo Ping and her apprentice Li Ran will live with me in Haiyu Village." Old Chen explained to Yu Zhile, "Once the materials and other people arrive tomorrow, we will set off immediately."
Ms. Luo Ping has gray hair, but is in good spirits, while her apprentice Li Ran is gentle and handsome, exuding a scholarly air.
"It's a pleasure working with you." She extended her hand.
Yu Zhile smiled, shook her hand back, and said, "It's a pleasure to work with you."
Afterwards, she said goodbye and went to the state-owned hotel.
"Xiao Yu is still a temporary worker in a state-owned restaurant. She teaches the chef there to cook new dishes every week." Old Chen watched her leave, his eyes full of admiration.
He and Luo Ping were old acquaintances and had mentioned Yu Zhile many times in his letters before.
Luo Ping was recalling her performance at the meeting. After hearing his words, she couldn't help but recall the delicious dishes she had tasted in the state-owned restaurant over the past two days.
"She is indeed a wonderful person, no wonder you praise her so much." She shook her head and sighed.
Li Ran stared at the figure that was getting farther and farther away.
At this time in the state-owned restaurant, a group of well-dressed old men and women were surrounding Hu Laosan.
"Xiao San'er, there were no new dishes to try the day before yesterday, and there were no new dishes to try yesterday. Is this restaurant going to close down?"
"Could it be that your treatment is too bad and the girl is unwilling to come to teach?"
"Xiao San'er, you are so dishonest. The little girl taught you so many new dishes, but you still refuse to make her a regular employee."
The group of people were talking at the same time and scolding Hu Laosan, and Hu Lan in front of the counter covered his mouth and laughed.
These old men and women are the living treasures of Wutong Lane. After retirement, they go around looking for delicious food and look forward to trying new dishes in state-owned restaurants every week.
After declining the offer for two days this week, they contacted Hu Laosan.
One of the burly men just raised his finger when he was interrupted by him.
"Dad, please stop interfering." Hu Laosan sighed, "Didn't I tell you? Xiao Yu went to the provincial capital to celebrate his birthday, not to run away."
"Are you talking about me?" Yu Zhile stood at the door with a puzzled look on his face.
Hu Laosan seemed to have seen a savior, and hurriedly squeezed out of the crowd and said, "See, I didn't lie to you, Xiao Yu is here, isn't he?"
Everyone smiled awkwardly, some cleared their throats, and some looked up at the ceiling.
"Grandpas and grandmas, please wait a moment, the new dishes will be served soon." Hu Shuang appeared out from nowhere.
As she spoke, she laughed softly and pulled Yu Zhile into the kitchen.
Entering the kitchen, she laughed loudly and unrestrainedly.
Hu Lao San, who followed closely behind, poked her forehead and said unhappily, "You little girl, you watched your father fall into the tiger's mouth and didn't save him. I raised you in vain."
"How can I save them when there are several big Buddha statues standing there?" Hu Shuang snorted, "They are the former director of the supply and marketing cooperative and the former police station chief..."
She gave a long list of intimidating titles.
"Xiao Shuang, are you taking a day off today?" Yu Zhile put down the coarse salt and spices in his hand.
When the topic was brought up, Hu Shuang became excited and said, "I sold my job, and Engineer Jiang from the shipyard said he wanted to take me in as his apprentice."
"Congratulations." Yu Zhile said with a smile.
Seeing that his daughter was about to talk about her apprenticeship experience, Hu Laosan interrupted her and said, "Okay, return Comrade Xiao Yu to the stove first. Go and have tea and chat with your grandparents."
"I'll go and file a complaint." Hu Shuang made a face at him and ran away.
Hu Laosan gave Yu Zhile a shot of prevention, smiling dotingly and helplessly, and said, "Her story will take half an hour, so you'd better bring some cotton with you in advance."
Zhang Hailan and Yu Mengjun have listened to it no less than five times in the past two days, and their faces couldn't help but frown.
Yu Zhile was amused by the three masters and apprentices, and it took him a while to return his attention to the stove.
Today she was teaching how to make salt-baked dishes. The process was very simple. She first listed the ingredients that she would use to make the soup base when she taught the new apprentices in the evening.
"I think we can get some beef bones, but I'll have to wait and see about fresh milk." Hu Laosan pondered for a moment and gave an uncertain answer, "I'll try to find someone to get it."
Haidong Town has a fixed supply of one cow every day. Everyone likes to eat meat, so bones are not difficult to get. There is no ranch specializing in raising dairy cows here, so fresh milk is in short supply.
Yu Zhile replied: "It doesn't matter. If you really can't get it, I'll try using goat milk."
"Okay." Hu Laosan nodded, turned around and asked Zhang Hailan to go to the livestock farm to find his uncle.
The seafood was delivered more than ten minutes ago and was still fresh. The master and apprentice picked out prawns, crabs, scallops and conchs for processing according to Yu Zhile's request.
Yu Zhile lit a fire and boiled a pot of eggs, then chopped off three large chicken legs and a few whole chicken wings.
After all the ingredients were ready, she began to add spices and fry the coarse salt until it turned slightly yellow, allowing the aroma to overflow.
"The pots that have been used for salt baking are difficult to clean, so it is best to select a few pots specifically for salt baking in advance." Yu Zhile reminded of the small details.
Spread salt and add ingredients, repeat these two steps until all the ingredients are layered, then you can cover the pot and bake over medium-low heat.
In his spare time, Yu Zhile had the time to observe the renovated state-owned hotel through the window.
The restaurant's area has doubled, with three more windows and a counter opposite the original pick-up window.
The cooking methods are outlined in red paint above the window. On the far right is a food cabinet made according to the drawings provided by Yu Zhile, with a large fan placed on the side of the cabinet.
She was observing intently when Zhang Hailan ran into the store in panic.
"Le Le, Chen Zhao is in the hospital." she said breathlessly.
