Chapter 134 You Really Married a Good Wife
She knew that Zhao Fa had specially found two kitchen helpers with good character for her.
Shang Ruoting looked at the ingredients and planned the dishes in her mind. After making a decision, she didn't argue with the two women.
"Sister Liu, please help me wash the cabbage and cut it into thin strips, cut the potatoes into thick slices and steam them until cooked."
"Aunt Chen Si, you'll be in charge of cutting the meat. Make it into large pieces like the braised pork. Also, cut some minced meat, leave one egg, and cook the rest..."
After Shang Ruoting assigned the tasks in an orderly manner, the two of them started to act without saying a word.
She was not idle either, she went to cut the tofu.
Aunt Chen Si and Sister Liu were both quick-witted and they quickly worked with Shang Ruoting to complete the preparations.
Although they didn't ask anything while they were busy, it didn't mean they weren't curious about Shang Ruoting's arrangements.
Taking advantage of some free time, Aunt Chen Si couldn't help but ask, "Miss Ruoting, what are you planning to cook? You're cutting the tofu into triangles?"
Mrs. Liu was equally curious: "Yes, Ruoting, those tofu are all broken, can we still cook them?"
Shang Ruoting smiled and looked at the two of them. "I'll keep you in suspense for now. I've figured out how to make a few dishes myself. You'll see them in a moment."
When the two heard Shang Ruoting say this, they did not continue to ask questions, but just watched her carefully while she cooked.
I saw Shang Ruoting peel the boiled eggs first, then lightly cut a few times on them, put them in a frying pan and fry them until the skin was golden brown, then took them out and set them aside.
Then put the thick slices of tofu that have just been cut into triangles into the oil pan and fry them until they are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside...
Aunt Chen Si and Aunt Liu San have been cooking all their lives, but this is the first time they have seen someone fry eggs and tofu.
It’s not surprising that they have never seen it. After all, this was an era of material scarcity. Who would be willing to eat fried food?
However, looking at the semi-finished fried eggs and tofu made by Shang Ruoting, I really feel hungry.
The two of them kept swallowing their saliva, helping while also carefully watching Shang Ruoting cook.
Shang Ruoting was not afraid that others would learn these dishes. After all, they were all home-cooked dishes. Restaurants in the city also had these dishes, but people here just didn't know how to cook them.
Secretary Cui returned to the chicken coop and was stunned by the scene inside. Every nest on the floor of the chicken coop was filled with fresh eggs, and some were as big as duck eggs...
At this time, Old Lady Shang also came over. She and Yang Tao both knew that the team was participating in a breeding competition today, so all the eggs were left there untouched, waiting for Secretary Cui to come and check.
After inspecting three chicken coops in a row, Secretary Cui couldn't help but smile: "Hahahaha... First place in the Sihe Village Farming Competition is a sure thing..."
Then, Mrs. Shang and Yang Tao counted the eggs in front of everyone.
The final number reported was 780.
This was also planned in advance by Shang Ruoting. She knew that the commune would send people to witness the egg production with their own eyes. Therefore, based on past experience, she did not feed the chickens with spiritual spring water the day before.
Although this would reduce the egg production and she couldn't store them in space, it would still not seem strange to people.
Secretary Cui praised repeatedly: "Excellent, excellent, the egg production is very high, and the eggs are large. Your team has truly produced a breeding expert."
After a few people strolled around again, Deputy Captain Wang took the initiative to push the cart to transport the eggs back to the team.
Before leaving, Zhao Fa told Mrs. Shang to go home immediately and inform Tan Chen to go directly to the team.
After the eggs were put into storage, Liu Xiaocui recorded the quantity and then handed the booklet to Secretary Cui for review.
Secretary Cui was very satisfied after seeing the egg production in Sihe Village in recent times.
It was almost 12 noon at this time, and Zhao Fa sent someone to Shang Ruoting to inform her that dinner was ready.
When a group of people surrounded Secretary Cui and came to the cafeteria's private room, the food had already been placed on the table, and Tan Chen also arrived at this time.
Secretary Cui smiled when he saw Tan Chen: "Haha... Tan Chen, you really married a good wife..."
"Not only is he an expert in breeding, but he also leads the team in making tofu. Your family's life will definitely get better and better in the future."
When Tan Chen saw Secretary Cui praising his wife, he was even happier than when he praised him.
The corners of his lips curled up high: "Thank you Secretary Cui for the compliment, Ruoting is indeed very good."
When they arrived at the table, they were stunned by the six dishes and one soup...
At the same time, Deputy Captain Wang swallowed twice unconsciously.
He looked at Shang Ruoting standing by the table in disbelief. "I heard from the captain that you took the initiative to ask to cook this meal? So, all these dishes were made by you?"
Before Shang Ruoting could speak, Aunt Chen Si couldn't help but speak for her.
"Leaders, our Ruoting's cooking skills are truly remarkable. My wife, Mrs. Liu, and I watched her make these dishes with our own eyes, and the smell of them makes us drool."
No one understood this as deeply as Deputy Captain Wang. When Aunt Chen Si finished speaking, he swallowed his saliva...
