Chapter 36: I made money and gave my husband a snack!

It was only afternoon when he returned to the family compound. It was still early, so Ye Muqi first went to the retired veteran's simple shop.

The old soldier looked at Ye Muqi and obviously still remembered her. A smile immediately appeared on his face.

"Little girl, are you buying vegetables today?" the old soldier asked her with a smile.

The day before yesterday, Ye Muqi came over and only bought a bag of rice, but no vegetables.

"Buy. Can I pick them right away?" Ye Muqi nodded.

Because it was already afternoon, there were no vegetables left on the old soldier's vegetable shelf. There was only ginger, garlic, chili peppers and a few potatoes.

The potatoes were the small ones with yellow fleshes, and they looked delicious, so Ye Muqi picked a few, thinking that he would get some good beef out of the space later and make a dish of potatoes stewed with beef brisket.

Ye Muqi bought some vegetables grown by the veteran here. They were just picked from the land and were very fresh. Even if they were just fried, they were very sweet and refreshing, and the taste was completely different from the taste of vegetables that had been left for a long time after being picked.

After returning home, there was still some time before Rong Jingchen returned from the army. Ye Muqi went into the kitchen and took out the meat from the space. All the vegetables in the space were fresh and there was no need to pick and choose.

Different from yesterday's vegetable and meat dishes, Ye Muqi picked several kinds of meat this time to prepare a snack for her husband!

The reason I ask is of course because I made money for the first time in the 1980s.

happy!

…

In the evening, Rong Jingchen returned home as soon as he finished training. As soon as he opened the door, he smelled the fragrance of food in the house and heard sounds coming from the kitchen.

Ye Muqi has returned, and the house is no longer empty and silent. A moment of tenderness appears in Rong Jingchen's eyes.

It seemed that his young wife came home on time today. Rong Jingchen breathed a sigh of relief, changed his shoes at the door and walked into the house.

"Are you back?"

In the kitchen, Ye Muqi poked his head out from the door. He must have heard the sound coming from the door just now.

"Yeah." Rong Jingchen nodded, his eyes fixed on the little head. The little girl had a low ponytail and was holding a spatula in one hand, looking gentle and non-aggressive.

"Go wash your hands, dinner will be served soon." Ye Muqi said this and then retracted his thought.

Rong Jingchen went to wash his hands and came out. There were already two dishes on the table, one was braised pork and the other was sweet and sour spare ribs, both with pickled vegetables.

Rong Jingchen didn't stop and went into the kitchen to help serve the dishes.

"Hey, help me take this soup out first." Ye Muqi opened the lid of the soup pot and handed the rag to Rong Jingchen.

She turned around and put the food in the pot. The beef brisket stewed with potatoes was bright in color and covered with rich sauce. As Ye Muqi sprinkled some green onions on it, the dish couldn't be more tempting!

In the soup pot, there are red and white radishes stewed with pork ribs. The soup is shiny and translucent, and the soup is milky white. The bones look very soft, and the aroma of meat and radish is mixed and combined just right. You can feel the sweetness of the radish just by smelling it.

Rong Jingchen took the soup pot out, and when he came back, Ye Muqi handed him the plate, took two empty bowls, chopsticks and a soup spoon, and followed Rong Jingchen out.

There were three dishes and one soup on the table, but both the dishes and the soup were exceptionally rich. Normally, having one of these dishes on the table would have been very good. If there weren't four dishes in total, it would have been no different from the Chinese New Year.

"Drink the soup first." Ye Muqi filled an empty bowl with soup and handed it to Rong Jingchen.

It is called a bowl of soup, but it contains carrots and bones, which can be said to be quite rich.

"Why do you do so much today?" Rong Jingchen was a little confused. He had wanted to ask this question since just now.

"Because I made money today." Ye Muqi said with a smile while pouring soup for himself, "The things I made were very popular, and they were all sold out. I made a lot of money!"

You can tell that she is really happy. She was smiling while talking. Her eyes were curved into crescent shapes and a small curl was faintly visible at the corner of her lips.

In fact, even if Ye Muqi didn't go out to work, his salary would be enough to support her. However, being able to do what you like and getting recognition is indeed something worth being happy about.

"Your cooking skills are indeed great." Rong Jingchen nodded slightly, agreeing with Ye Muqi's cooking skills.

Rong Jingchen was telling the truth. What Ye Muqi made would definitely be popular because it was really delicious.

How should I put it? The taste has a freshness that doesn't suit this era.

Rong Jingchen looked at the large table of pickled vegetables and beef, thinking that Ye Muqi had probably spent all the money she earned for the first time.

Fortunately, he still has money. He gave all the previous money to Ye Muqi, but the salary will be paid soon, so he doesn't have to worry too much about money.

"Really? If it tastes good, eat more." Ye Muqi picked up a piece of beef brisket with potatoes for him with his chopsticks.

Even though Rong Jingchen was a little cold, he didn't ignore her and even affirmed her. Even if he didn't say anything, the happiest thing for Ye Muqi was to have her cooking skills recognized.

Rong Jingchen drank a bowl of soup and went to the kitchen to get a full bowl of rice.

He didn't eat in the morning today in the army. He trained like crazy. At noon, he was a little absent-minded and just ate a few bites.

After intense physical exertion and eating too little, and looking at the table full of delicious dishes, Rong Jingchen was indeed hungry.

Although there were only three dishes and one soup, Ye Muqi still made a lot of portions. She had even worried that he might not be able to finish it, but Rong Jingchen actually finished it all, even two big bowls of rice, and finished all the dishes cleanly.

There was only a drop of soup left. If you didn't know how it felt, you would have thought he hadn't eaten for a day.

Ye Muqi's eyes were full of surprise, and his gaze had been hovering over Rong Jingchen since he was about to finish his second bowl of rice.

She knew that what she cooked tasted good, but she didn’t see Rong Jingchen eat so much yesterday?

But on second thought, Ye Muqi suddenly realized that what she cooked today were almost all pickled vegetables, so Rong Jingchen should like to eat meat more, right?

"Well... um, is the food in your unit very bad?" Ye Muqi thought for a moment and asked.

Generally speaking, the food in the canteen is not very good, even in later generations. Many people always say that the food in the canteen has no oil or water, and the taste is just edible. As for whether it is filling or not, that is another price.

It was still the 1980s, and even though they were in the military, I imagined the food wouldn't be that good.

"It's okay, not bad." Rong Jingchen responded.

He had no idea about this. He had always eaten in the cafeteria and never thought it was a big deal.

But after eating Ye Muqi's cooking several times, he now understood why other people in the army always said that the food in the cafeteria was not delicious. He now also felt so. It was indeed not as delicious as Ye Muqi's cooking.

"If you come back for dinner in the future, I will improve your food." She couldn't help with anything else, but she had no problem making a delicious meal!

Although Rong Jingchen didn't say it, the food in the cafeteria must be bad, otherwise why would Rong Jingchen look like he had been hungry for a day?

Anyway, there is plenty of meat in her space, so it is easy to cook more meat dishes every night.

"By the way, don't leave too early tomorrow morning. Eat breakfast before going to the troops."
