"We heard them arguing when we arrived."
"The girl who was cooking with them was named Huang Zhaodi. She was cooking corn porridge over there tonight. When Sun Yue went over and saw it, she immediately became dissatisfied and said that she wouldn't drink corn porridge."
"They say if you eat this, it will cut your throat."
Both of them came from privileged backgrounds, so they couldn't possibly understand that poor families were lucky to even have anything to eat.
Huang Zhaodi had gotten used to using less oil when cooking, which made the dishes unsatisfactory to the young lady and young master.
They felt very uncomfortable because they had given up extra food and now had to eat this awful thing.
Have Huang Zhaodi cook for them, preferably separately.
They can contribute one more portion of grain.
Huang Zhaodi also had her own temper. She came from a poor family, but she wasn't cheap and didn't want to be treated like a maid. She immediately told them that if they wanted to eat, then they didn't have to eat together; if they didn't want to eat, then they didn't have to.
Tell those two to get lost.
This commotion made Sun Yue cry again, feeling wronged.
Neither of them had eaten properly today. Luckily, they had some pancakes they brought, which helped them make do; otherwise, they would have been starving.
Lin Xiaoxiao frowned upon hearing this. What a bizarre story, a complete oddball. "It's hard to explain."
Li Mei chimed in, "Who says otherwise?"
"The brigade leader didn't like the educated youth to begin with, and they all took a day off today."
"I think Captain Wang must have an even worse impression of them. If the battalion commander has a bad impression, then it's really hard to say whether we can go back to the city."
Li Mei reminded the two of them, "If you don't have anything to do, try to take fewer days off, otherwise the team leader will block your return to the city."
Lin Xiaoxiao nodded in response to Li Mei's kind reminder.
She wasn't worried at all about returning to the city.
If you want to go back, the college entrance exam will be held soon. Once the policy is released, it will be easy to arrange.
After understanding this gossip, the goose was also ready.
Lin Xiaoxiao rolled up her sleeves and prepared to start cooking this famous Northeastern dish.
After heating the wok, Lin Xiaoxiao added lard, then poured in the prepared scallions, ginger, and garlic. Once they were fragrant, she added the goose and stir-fried it.
When they weren't looking, Lin Xiaoxiao added some spices.
Luckily, the pot was big enough, otherwise it would have been really difficult to stir-fry this pot of goose.
When the stir-frying was almost done, Lin Xiaoxiao poured some wine and water along the edge of the pot, then covered it and started to simmer.
By this time, the two of them had already prepared the potatoes they were going to put in.
Then the three of them chatted while watching the fire.
The aroma from the pot grew stronger and stronger, and Wang Xue and Li Mei could be heard swallowing their saliva.
"Is it almost done cooking?"
"Not yet, you'll have to wait a little while."
"My dear sister, can we make the pancakes now?"
"You'll have to wait a little longer."
"My goodness, I'm practically drooling!"
Seeing their anxious looks, Lin Xiaoxiao couldn't help but laugh: "It'll be soon."
When it was almost time, Lin Xiaoxiao lifted the lid, and the steam carrying a fragrance rushed towards the three of them.
Even Lin Xiaoxiao's stomach was growling at this moment.
Start by adding potatoes and making cornbread.
Wang Xue had never done this job before, and she smiled and said she would stick the pancakes on.
After finishing, continue to simmer the pot.
After about 20 minutes, the stewed goose was finally ready.
Because the goose was too big to fit on a regular plate, Lin Xiaoxiao took a new enamel basin, washed it clean, and then put the goose in it.
They started cooking right away without even washing the pots.
The two women were a little reserved at first, but after Lin Xiaoxiao served them a few times, the three of them enjoyed the meal and stopped being so polite.
The cornbread in the pot, dipped in the broth, and then paired with the goose, made for a meal that was so delicious it made the three of us swoon.
"It's so delicious!!"
"My sister, I never knew you had such skills."
Lin Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "I used to cook at home all the time, so I picked it up quickly." Actually, this was her first time making stewed goose, so she took out her phone, wrote down the tutorial, and followed it step by step.
I didn't expect my first attempt to be so successful.
However, the reason I can make it so delicious is also thanks to the fact that everything is now green and pollution-free, which makes it taste much better.
Li Mei nodded repeatedly as she ate, saying, "Xiaoxiao, if I have money to buy a goose to eat, or if there's anything delicious, I'll definitely ask you to cook for me."
Wang Xue immediately raised her hand, "Me too, your cooking is so delicious."
Lin Xiaoxiao laughed and replied, "Okay, then I'll just eat it for free when you bring it over."
"From now on, you can eat anything I bring, no matter how much you eat."
Lin Xiaoxiao has been so generous in treating them to goose, they can't be so stingy.
However, they couldn't afford a whole goose. If they could afford to buy meat, they would definitely bring it over.
In the end, all three of them ate until they were stuffed.
This goose was quite heavy; the three of them ate it very hard, and there was still half left.
Wang Xue and the others cleaned up the kitchen and the dishes for me, insisting that Lin Xiaoxiao not lift a finger.
Lin Xiaoxiao didn't stand on ceremony with them either.
After packing their things, and with time running out, the two went back to the educated youth compound together.
Lin Xiaoxiao tidied herself up.
She found a book she had previously discovered at an abandoned site. She had received an education during the apocalypse, so she didn't find it too difficult to read textbooks from this era.
The next day, I heard the first sounds of people starting work.
