Fast forward to February 13, 1979. Neither the second Liu brother nor Gu Shijing had returned from their mission. Although the eldest Liu brother had returned, he was also incredibly busy. Meetings of all sizes were constantly being held within the military region, and intense military exercises had begun. All signs seemed to indicate that a major operation was about to begin.
Liu Yanran suddenly realized that a war had indeed broken out between the two countries in February 1979, a war that lasted nearly a month. She knew she couldn't change the course of history, so she could only do her best to provide these brave soldiers with sufficient food and supplies to strengthen them to face the challenges on the battlefield.
Liu Yanran resolved to make a contribution. She decided to anonymously donate a large amount of daily necessities, including 500 kilograms (500 jin) of wild boar meat, 3,000 kilograms (3000 jin) of rice, 3,000 kilograms (3000 jin) of cornmeal, 5,000 kilograms (5000 jin) of sweet potatoes, 5,000 kilograms (5000 jin) of cabbage, and 6,000 kilograms (6000 jin) of potatoes. To accomplish this, she disguised herself, rented a large warehouse, and utilized her spatial abilities to prepare the supplies. She then wrote an anonymous letter to Political Commissar Wang, hoping that the supplies would reach the soldiers on the front lines.
Although these supplies sound like a large amount, considering that there are thousands of soldiers and officers in the border areas who need to be fed, these supplies are still somewhat limited to meet their basic needs. However, Liu Yanran's kindness will undoubtedly bring warmth and encouragement to the soldiers.
When Political Commissar Wang finished reading the letter full of sincerity, he was deeply moved.
This letter made him see the people's deep affection for the army and their selfless dedication. Who says that rich people only care about their own enjoyment? There are still good people among them!
At the same time, he also felt that the responsibility on his shoulders was even heavier. So he took immediate action, arranging for personnel to transport supplies to the canteen of the family compound and issuing an order to strictly investigate the identity of the letter writer.
However, Liu Yanran had already anticipated that she might face such a situation. She had made sufficient preparations in advance and did not leave any clues.
Despite this, the soldiers' morale was greatly boosted after receiving these precious supplies. They knew that there were many people silently supporting them in the rear, and this warmth and strength made them more determined to defend their country and their homeland.
As night fell, the canteen of the family compound was filled with a rich aroma: that of wild boar stewed with potatoes. This dish was the main course of the night, and everyone had been looking forward to it for a long time.
Wild boar has a strong fishy smell, so the chefs used a lot of ingredients, including various spices and seasonings to mask the fishy smell and make the meat more flavorful. After a long stew, the wild boar becomes tender and juicy, and the potatoes also absorb the fragrance of the gravy and become soft and delicious.
When the dish was served, everyone couldn't help but drool. The color of the wild boar stew with potatoes was very tempting, the golden potatoes and the deep red of the wild boar contrasting with each other, making people's appetites soar. Everyone picked up their chopsticks and began to taste this delicious dish.
The tenderness of the wild boar meat and the softness of the potatoes blended together in my mouth, creating a rich aroma and texture. The spices and seasonings were also rich and flavorful, leaving a lasting aftertaste. Everyone enjoyed the food and chatted, creating a harmonious atmosphere.
This wild boar stew with potatoes is not only delicious but also nutritious. The boar is rich in protein and vitamins, while the potatoes are rich in starch and dietary fiber. The combination of the two is both delicious and healthy. Everyone enjoyed it with great pleasure.
The canteen chef slowly simmers the fat in a pot, releasing a rich aroma. Over time, the fat gradually turns golden and crispy, creating a delicious dish called yuji. Braised yuji with cabbage is a homely yet mouth-watering dish. The sweetness of the cabbage and the crispiness of the yuji blend together to create a rich and unique taste.
The remaining lard is carefully saved for later cooking. This homemade lard has a rich aroma and unique flavor that adds a special touch of flavor to any dish. Whether it's stir-frying or making soup, adding a little lard can make the dish more delicious.
A few days later, the battle officially began. Smoke filled the battlefield, and the roar of artillery roared. The soldiers bravely charged forward, fighting a desperate battle with the enemy. They sacrificed their lives to build an impenetrable line of defense, safeguarding the dignity of the nation and the safety of the people. Every soldier was a hero, their courage and spirit of sacrifice admirable.
In the rear, Liu Yanran also supported the soldiers on the front lines in her own way. She donated a large amount of supplies to the army in the name of Piaoxiang Pavilion and Zhenpinzhai. These supplies included 500 kilograms of fine white flour and 500 eggs. Although the quantity was limited, it was undoubtedly a timely help for the hungry soldiers.
However, Liu Yanran wasn't satisfied. She knew these supplies were just a drop in the bucket and couldn't solve the fundamental problem. So, she decided to take more proactive action.
To avoid unnecessary trouble, Liu Yanran decided to give the store employees two days off and announced that they needed time to purchase new ingredients because they had donated them. This way, no one would be suspicious of her actions and the store could continue to operate normally.
There were constantly wounded soldiers coming down from the front lines, and then new soldiers would take over. Looking at the blood on these wounded, Liu Yanran was overwhelmed with emotions. Suddenly, Liu Yanran remembered that it had been a long time since she had heard from her second brother and Gu Shijing. They were part of the advance troops. Last time, her eldest brother had just said that they were all fine and to rest assured. Now, seeing the tense situation at the front, she didn't know if the two were injured.
