"Sister, what kind of meat is this? It's so delicious." Zhongzi picked up a piece of braised meat and chewed it, feeling the fragrance lingering in his mouth. "It's so delicious."
"I also want to know what kind of meat this is. It smells delicious."
"This is a secret recipe meat made by Sister Chunxiao. It's called braised pork. You're in luck. Eat it now. You can't get this meat anywhere else. Only Sister knows how to make it."
"Really?" Upon hearing this, several people hurriedly scooped the braised meat into their bowls. "I don't care about being embarrassed today. I have to eat more of this rare meat. I have never eaten meat so delicious before. I have to try more of it."
"You old bastard, don't just think about yourself. We are not the only ones at this table. You are really embarrassing yourself."
"As long as you like it, I've asked Xiaohua to help me with some stewing these past two days. When you leave today, each of you can take some back and keep it for yourselves to enjoy slowly. Also."
When they heard this, they were delighted. "Hey, Sister Chunxiao, you are so kind. You treat me better than my own sister."
"You are Dongsheng's friends. I don't know anyone else here. Since you call me sister, I naturally have to have some sense of being a sister, right?" She pointed at the dishes on the table. "The spare ribs are delicious too. Try them quickly, otherwise they will get cold."
After the meal, all the bowls on the table were clean. Xiaohua and some sisters-in-law came to collect the dishes, but some soldiers got busy and wanted to collect them themselves. "We have to do it ourselves. We have to do this in the barracks too."
"Sirs, please sit down and rest. We can do it. There's hot water in the pot, so it will be quick to wash. You don't need to do it yourself."
In the end, they were unable to get into the kitchen to help.
"It's so comfortable here that I don't even want to go back to the camp. Oh, when can we return home?"
"I think the day is not far off. We have repelled them so many times. Their day of defeat is here."
"Our general is really awesome."
"I'll continue working after eating. I've only picked half a bag this morning. It's too slow."
"That's still slow!" several people wailed. "This seed is so small, and it's already fast. Sister, look at the boss, he always exploits us." Xiao Sang had just finished speaking when Dongsheng slapped her on the head. "A grown man acting like a spoiled child, aren't you ashamed?"
Now not only the people around laughed, but even the woman working in the yard laughed.
Xiao Sang grinned and touched his head, "How can I be a spoiled child? I won't let you complain anymore." After dinner, they continued to pick cotton seeds.
"Why don't you guys go play for a while? You finally got a day off, but you spent it all in my yard." Chun Xiao wanted to take the cotton seeds but was stopped by several people. "Sister, it's okay. This is just a break. It's nice for us to sit here and chat. If you grow cotton here, you won't have to worry about using it in the future."
"I heard you guys were farming at the base?" Chunxiao brought a stool and sat beside them.
"Planting is necessary. With so many soldiers, how can we not plant? We have quite a lot of land. It costs a lot of money to eat food every day. Sister, you don't know that the pots we use to cook are several times bigger. We cook dozens of pots of radish and cabbage every day, and occasionally add some meat. I don't want to eat it when I think of the taste, but I have to eat it. I'll be hungry if I don't. Sister, your cooking is so delicious."
With so many people in the military camp, life must be hard. She didn't know what Mocang Pass was like. Generally, outsiders were not allowed to enter such places within a radius of several miles. In the afternoon, after sitting for a while, they couldn't sit still anymore and went down to the fields. A few women came back to pick cotton seeds. Except for Dongsheng, no one else understood why they started to turn the soil and pour that smelly fertilizer inside. They asked Dongsheng, but Dongsheng didn't say much. He just said that this was how they farmed over there. Several people worked hard in the fields. Although they were all plowing with oxen, they just worked faster than others. Xiaohua saw it and told Chunxiao back. She laughed at those people who worked well and now she was looking forward to them coming more often.
They were about to leave at the time of Shen, and Chunxiao handed them the braised meat that they had prepared, "There are more than 20 kilograms in a package here, you can keep it with you and eat it slowly. When you eat, think of a way to heat it up. After all, it is meat, and it is not good to eat it cold." It must not be difficult for their logistics staff to find a pot to heat the food.
"So many?" They thought they would only give one small bag per person, but they didn't expect each person to get such a big bag. "This is enough for me to eat for several months."
"It smells so good. I'm afraid I won't be able to hide it when I get back." Zhongzi looked at Dongsheng and said, "Boss, if others find out, they'll definitely snatch it away."
"I can't control it. Just hide your own things. If you lose them, don't ask me for them."
"Although this meat can be kept for a while, it can't be kept for very long. You should eat it quickly. I'll make it for you next time you come." Chunxiao was afraid that they would not be willing to eat it and would really keep it for a month or so, so she hurriedly reminded them.
"It's hard to say what will happen next time, sister, don't worry about it."
"The New Year is coming soon. How are you going to celebrate it? If you have time, come to my place and we can celebrate together."
Dongsheng pursed his lips and said, "Okay, if you have nothing else to do, let's celebrate the New Year together."
The courtyard of the walled village was completed. Chunxiao took people to see it. It was a standard courtyard, but much better than the houses in the nearby villages. The carpenter was installing the door.
Ersan had already gone to the village early this morning to settle his wages and rent. Now that the house was ready, he no longer had to live in the village. The woman who had received the money was still reluctant to leave, and asked him about the work again, but he still pushed it to the head of the village.
Chunxiao settled the money for this place with the craftsmen, "Master, I actually want to build another courtyard exactly like this one, but the Chinese New Year is only half a month away. I wonder if you will still accept the work before the New Year?" In her opinion, the sooner it is completed, the better.
