When Wenxi signed the document, she saw that it was indeed five yuan, so she knew that the accountant had not falsified anything. You know, the accountant's position is very important, and the person who can hold this position must be a reliable person.
"Uncle Accountant, I'll make braised meat soup for everyone tomorrow night." Cleaning pig offal is complicated and time-consuming. If I buy it tomorrow morning, I definitely won't have time to make it at noon.
"Okay, okay, then I'll wait for you, Uncle." The accountant happily took the register and left. Wen Xi put five yuan into her pocket and went into the cafeteria.
As Wenxi was arranging the vegetables for lunch, Wang Xiaoju walked over and asked curiously, "Wenxi, what did the accountant want with you just now? I thought he took out a notebook."
"You'll know by tomorrow evening," Wen Xi replied calmly, without telling Wang Xiaoju everything right now.
If we tell her now, the whole village will probably know soon. Will everyone still be able to concentrate on their work?
The next morning, Wenxi brought out breakfast and placed it in the kitchen. Then she picked up her basket and went up the mountain. She decided to stay on the mountain for four hours before coming down, because she had a lot of cleaned pig offal. Lin Yiwan had also given her pig offal, as well as offal from cows and sheep!
We can just take one out when the time comes, so we don't have to go to town anymore.
Wenxi didn't stay idle after going up the mountain. Instead, she picked mushrooms, dug wild vegetables, and picked wild fruits. She wouldn't miss anything she saw.
It wasn't until noon that Wenxi went down the mountain and returned home. She first went home and flashed into the system kitchen, took a hot shower, changed into clean clothes, and tidied herself up. Then she carried the pig offal and swaggered towards the main canteen.
Although everyone is required to work, some are simply not suited to work, and some are pampered, so it's normal for them not to work. After all, as long as production is not delayed, the village cannot force everyone to work.
So people saw the pig offal in Wenxi's hands, and then the news that Wenxi had bought pig offal spread quickly. Everyone knew that they could eat braised food that night, and they were all very excited.
They thought they could only eat fish and snails during the autumn harvest season, but they didn't expect to be waiting for them here!
Even Sun Mei and Wang Xiaoju felt a little better when they saw Wen Xi carrying pig offal to the water. These two were just like that, always 'hating you'. Even if Wen Xi was a little late, they would feel uncomfortable, as if they had done extra work. In fact, the two of them were just washing rice and cooking.
Wenxi left home early today to buy pig offal. It took her almost three or four hours to walk back. How could she be late?
Although the pig offal had already been washed, Wenxi still carried it to the river bend as a mere formality, since no one else knew that her pig offal had been washed.
After spending half an hour in the river bend, Wenxi carried the cleaned pig offal back, cut it into bite-sized pieces, and then started a fire to braise it.
If you braise it now, it will be flavorful by dinner time.
Many people knew that there would be pork offal to eat today, and they were all very excited. When they came to the cafeteria for lunch, they couldn't help but swallow their saliva when they smelled the aroma.
Although everyone wanted to eat it, everyone knew when the pig offal had been bought and that they wouldn't be able to eat it for lunch, so no one urged them to.
However, today's dishes were quite good, because there was an extra dish of crucian carp and tofu soup. To make sure everyone had a share, the tofu was mashed very finely, but the crucian carp and tofu soup was incredibly delicious. Everyone who tried it gave it a thumbs up!
In the afternoon, when everyone was at work, their minds were wandering, thinking about the braised food and wishing it was dinnertime right away.
However, everyone's farm work was not delayed at all, because they did not want to lose work points or be scolded by Captain Qian.
In the afternoon, to ensure everyone could enjoy their meal, Wenxi used a strainer to scoop the braised food from the two pots into one. Then, she added radishes, potatoes, winter melon, dried green beans, mushrooms, and other vegetables to the remaining broth and braised them, allowing all the vegetables to soak up the braising liquid. The vegetables would then taste delicious.
Cabbage cooks very quickly, so Wenxi only put the cabbage into the pot in the last few minutes, thus creating a large pot of braised offal and a large pot of braised vegetables.
While everyone was queuing up in the evening, they couldn't help but salivate at the aroma. Wenxi served everyone braised vegetables first, because if they drank soup first, they wouldn't be able to eat rice later.
It's not like I'm on a diet. People on diets can drink soup first to fill their stomachs, then they won't be able to eat much more.
After the meal, we'll give everyone a bowl of braised dishes. The bowl is so big that you have to use both hands to carry it.
The newly arrived educated youth had never tasted such delicious braised food before. They ate so much that they didn't even have time to look up, and they still felt unsatisfied after finishing.
They didn't expect that the leader of the Fengshou Brigade was actually quite kind, and that the entire brigade would pool their money to buy pig offal for everyone to eat.
After everyone finished eating, they went outside to rest. After resting for a while, they would go to the fields to process the grain. During the harvest season, the worst thing is when it rains.
Late-season rice is different from sweet potatoes. Sweet potatoes can be harvested after the rain stops, but if late-season rice is damaged by raindrops or rots due to the rain, the losses can be huge.
After everyone left, Wenxi and the others started working. Once they were done, they could go home; they didn't need to work overtime.
As Wenxi was tidying up by the stove, Wang Xinru suddenly came over and said, "Wenxi, the braised food you made is so delicious! It's even better than the food at state-run restaurants. I'm so full."
Wen Xi hadn't expected this person to come all the way to praise her cooking skills, so she nodded and said, "Thank you."
You can't hit someone who's smiling, right? Besides, she and Wang Xinru don't have any conflicts yet. If they do, they can just stop seeing each other.
"I heard that Captain Qian paid for the raw materials for this braised food, is that true?" Wang Xinru confirmed.
Wen Xi nodded. Everyone already knew about this, so she had nothing to deny.
Wang Xinru took out five yuan, quickly stuffed it into Wen Xi's hand, and said apologetically, "Could you please do it again?"
The feeling of money in her hand made Wenxi realize what was going on instantly, and she asked in surprise, "You mean, you're going to pay for the whole village to have braised food again?"
Wang Xinru nodded shyly and said softly, "But this time you have to give me more, I want two bowls."
"You paid for it, so you can have half of it. But the good deed you did can't be made public, otherwise the old women in the village will think you're rich and will try to take you home as their daughter-in-law. So your credit is..."
