Su Jin opened the bamboo basket and took out all the items inside. They were all New Year's goods prepared by hand by her family members. Although the items were not particularly valuable, they were a token of everyone's thoughtfulness.
Lu Shiyi folded his arms across his chest, looked at the pile of food on the operating table, and looked at Su Jin helplessly.
"Ayi, let's prepare some more fried yellow croaker and send some to every household. Apart from wasting oil, it can be used as a New Year's gift." Su Jin took a look at the basin and thought that this could be given as a New Year's gift.
Although these are oil-intensive, they are meat dishes after all.
"Send one pot to each family. Is this New Year gift enough?" Su Jin looked at the bamboo basket and saw that the most common meat dish was a piece of bacon.
"The bacon was given by Sister Yunfeng. We sent some over when we cooked small yellow croaker and hairtail. Sister Yunfeng's fish isn't very good." Lu Shiyi said unkindly, "Lin Lei and Lin Yan often complain about this. Every time you cook fish, you send some to the brothers. Old Lin and Sister Yunfeng feel guilty."
Su Jin chuckled, "I thought it was something else. Lin Lei and Lin Yan are helping to look after Hanhan. Besides, how much can two brothers eat?"
"Old Lin and I will continue to be partners in the future, unless we make a serious mistake. Our two families can live together until retirement." Lu Shiyi whispered to Su Jin.
Lin Lei and Lin Yan often study at Lu's house. Both of them are very patient in reading and have made a lot of progress compared to before. Lin Zitao and Yun Feng are both very grateful to Su Jin.
"That's really great. You always change your partners, and I have to cooperate with his wife. If it's Sister Yunfeng, I can still do my own thing when the situation outside is better." Su Jin said happily.
Lu Shiyi reached out and pinched her little hand, then he began to clean up the New Year's goods in the kitchen. Su Jin tied on an apron and continued to fry the fish.
As basins of fish came out, Lu Shiyi asked Zong Li to deliver them door to door.
The family members looked at the fried fish that Zong Li brought over and could only pour it into their own basins. They also took some New Year's goods prepared at home and sent them back.
Only when there is give and take can the relationship between the family members be balanced. Outside, the team members respect Lu Shiyi, but the family members are divided into different levels.
"The fried fish prepared by Teacher Su? It's delicious!" Several military children came home and heard their mother's words, and they all ran to the kitchen happily.
"Go slowly, you can only eat two pieces of fried fish, and wait until New Year's Eve to prepare the New Year's Eve dinner." Many of the family members grew up in the north, not near the sea or the lake.
The fish they cooked were not tasty. After Su Jin cooked fish once on the farm, the children on the farm kept her in mind.
"Don't worry, Mom. We won't eat too much. We still need to take care of our skis later." The military kids are on winter vacation, and there are more activities for them to play.
"Don't play now. Wait until the snow gets thicker before going skiing." Junwa held the fried fish in his right hand, took a bite, and ran away happily.
On the farm, every household has started cooking. The family members are preparing meals quickly and are going to have a gathering in the cafeteria tonight.
Liu Yunshan asked the guard to come over and say that the New Year's Eve dinner was an experiment.
In the cafeteria, the fat squad leader led the kitchen team to prepare nearly 10 dishes, 6 of which were meat dishes, one of which was the fat squad leader's specialty, the crispy duck.
In order to make crispy duck, the fat squad leader asked Hutou to buy a duck in advance.
"Squad leader, how many crispy ducks should we make for the Spring Festival?" The team member who followed the fat squad leader asked with a frown, staring at the large plate of duck in front of him.
"There are dozens of plates, and Teacher Su even bought two ducks privately to prepare for the New Year's meal." The fat squad leader admired Su Jin very much, as he could support the entire Lu family by himself.
Lu Shiyi was plotted against several times, but Su Jin got the news in advance and helped Lu Shiyi escape the difficulties.
Many people came to the fat squad leader privately to exchange food. It was not easy for the family members to manage the household. If the quantity was not large, the fat squad leader would exchange the food. Even so, there were still people complaining behind his back.
The fat squad leader had many honors taken back because of this, and the team members were quite dissatisfied with this. When they followed Wu Jun, Lu Shiyi and Lin Zitao to the farm, it seemed that everything had changed.
"I see that many sisters-in-law have made reservations privately. It's much easier here than in the canteen in the family compound." The team members also knew what was good and what was bad, and kept a close eye on the family members' actions.
The people in the Pigeon Committee are becoming more and more ruthless. Most of them are ordinary people, and they are afraid that it will bring bad things to their families because of themselves.
The fat squad leader skillfully taught the team members how to marinate the crispy chicken. He planned to find a few more people to help. As he got older, he was not able to handle these things.
With the help of his teammates, he had more time to complete the final step.
"Squad leader, we have learned your unique skills. What if someone starts his own business?" The team members all remembered that the chef would have his own unique skills.
The fat squad leader worked as an apprentice in someone else's restaurant for nearly 10 years before the manager taught him this dish.
"It's not like we can make money by making crispy duck. It will be faster if everyone helps," the fat squad leader had his own ideas. "Everyone's technique is different, and the taste is different too."
Several team members sat around the fat squad leader, watching him skillfully handle the duck.
"If we have beer, we can make beer duck," the fat squad leader told the three of them. "Beer duck is better than crispy duck. Beer is brewed from wheat, and no one can afford it these days."
After hearing what the fat squad leader said, the team members became curious about the taste of beer duck.
Lu Shiyi carried a lot of fried small yellow croaker and hairtail into the cafeteria. The fish had gotten a little cold on the way, but they tasted good.
