Bai Guoguo measured He Gang's dimensions and carefully wrote them down in a small notebook.
He put down the notebook, turned around and poured the soaked soybeans into the casserole.
At this time, the aroma of the cabbage stewed with pork belly in the big pot became stronger and stronger, and it seemed that the heat was almost right.
She added the sweet potato flour that had been soaked in advance and two spoonfuls of salt for seasoning.
After that, just wait for the vermicelli to stew for ten minutes and add chopped green onions before removing from the pot.
Although we often eat this dish in modern times, it was very rare in those difficult times.
Ordinary people would just add a few slices of meat to enhance the flavor during the Chinese New Year.
It is considered a luxury to be able to eat stewed cabbage with oil on a normal day. Even vermicelli is a luxury.
City dwellers have rations and wages, and their lives are a little better, but when old farmers in the countryside say they have nothing, they really do.
Some friends may think that they can go hunting in the mountains, but everything is public property, including the prey in the mountains.
If you have the ability to secretly hunt pheasants and rabbits occasionally, perhaps no one will care about you. But if you do this often, sooner or later you will be sent to the cowshed.
So even though Bai Guoguo only made one hot dish and one cold dish every day for the people who helped build the house, it was considered a high-standard hospitality in that era.
After all, they are not working for anyone's family, and the host family can treat them with meaty and greasy dishes every day.
It’s not that everyone is stingy, it’s just that everyone has a hard time, so this is the only way.
In those days, if the housewife didn’t plan well, the whole family would be in real danger of running out of food.
However, Bai Guoguo is not from this era after all, and she has food, money and meat, so she would not let the people who come to help her starve.
As for those talkative old ladies in the team who said she was being taken advantage of, as long as they didn't make a fuss in front of her, she would just smile and ignore them.
Even if the matter is brought to her, she will not show mercy. The Wang Qiuyu who was called before is a lesson for her.
The group of female educated youth in the compound still don’t dare to talk to Bai Guoguo casually.
I’m afraid of offending Bai Guoguo and getting punished!
At least the men on the construction team appreciated her kindness and worked faster and faster every day.
It's only been over a week and most of the house has been built. It looks like the beams will be put up in a day or two.
When He Gang accompanied Bai Guoguo to the construction site to deliver lunch, he saw that the house was almost topped out.
Next, all you have to do is put up the beams, lay the tiles, install the doors and windows, build the walls, and install the gate, and the house will be completed.
"Brothers, you've worked hard. Come over and have dinner. My wife made you some cabbage and pork stewed with vermicelli noodles. Red Army, quickly bring your brothers over to eat!"
Today's food was brought here on a bicycle. He Gang was afraid that Bai Guoguo would feel tired, so he didn't let her carry the load.
It just so happened that he had lent his bicycle to Bai Guoguo to buy something in the morning, and now it was just right for delivering meals.
As soon as the meal was delivered to the construction site, He Gang pulled Bai Guoguo to the shade of a tree and let her sit on a stone under the tree to enjoy the cool air.
He Gang himself took over the task of serving food to these men, and even deliberately shouted loudly that today's food was made by his girlfriend!
At this point, who wouldn't know that Bai Guoguo is his girlfriend? What a reserved man, he even comes here to declare his sovereignty!
Bai Guoguo sat under the big tree and rolled her eyes speechlessly. This petty-minded man must have heard He Hongjun say that someone was interested in her, which was why he did this!
"Hahaha, guys, my brother Gangzi and his girlfriend are here to deliver food. Hello everyone, come over quickly. Today we have cabbage and pork stewed with vermicelli. Oh my god, it smells so good!"
He Hongjun is truly a good brother who grew up with He Gang. He never undermines his brother Gangzi.
"Gangzi is engaged to Bai Zhiqing, congratulations!"
"Brother Gangzi is so lucky, Bai Zhiqing's cooking is so delicious!"
"So you two are dating? No wonder Bai Zhiqian wants to build his house next to yours!"
Everyone was talking about it at once, as if they had discovered some big secret.
"Hahaha, thank you all for your help, everyone enjoy your meal and drinks!"
He Gang laughed with them and shamelessly accepted their congratulations.
There were only a few sad young men, holding their bowls and eating silently, biting the steamed buns in their hands fiercely, as if they had discovered something.
He Gang hadn't come back before, and although they heard some of what He Hongjun said, at least they still had some hope at that time!
But now He Gang is back, and he has established a relationship with Bai Zhiqing at lightning speed.
Those cowards who didn't dare to fight could only vent their feelings by silently taking a few bites of steamed buns.
Although Bai Guoguo knew that several young men treated her differently, she never took it to heart. She didn't even know the names of those young men.
Now that He Gang has come to assert his sovereignty, those peach blossoms that have not yet bloomed can only wither.
"Hongjun, please help me greet the brothers. My girlfriend hasn't eaten yet. I'll take her back to have something to eat!"
He Gang patted his good brother on the shoulder, distributed cigarettes to the men at the scene, and then returned to the educated youth compound with Bai Guoguo.
"Captain He is truly amazing. He even uses military tactics when dating someone. He's really good at making innuendos and making false accusations."
On the way, Bai Guoguo teased with a smile.
"This little girl even knows about military tactics. It seems she's destined to sleep in the same bed with me!"
He Gang leaned over and chuckled softly in Bai Guoguo's ear.
"Oh, that's disgusting! Who wants to sleep in the same bed with you?"
Bai Guoguo glared at him with a mixture of shyness and anger, ignored him, and ran away.
He Gang shook his head and laughed behind him, then followed with big strides!
