Lu Shouhai smiled smugly, "What were you two talking about just now? Why would I fight with Lao Sheng?"
Sheng Pinghua explained: "Jiang Yan is a translator from the National Compilation and Translation Bureau. Chu Mu asked me for her, but I didn't agree."
"What?"
Lu Shouhai looked surprised and looked at Lu Yunsheng for confirmation. Seeing him nod affirmatively, he was suddenly confused.
"Did I hear correctly? Jiang Yan is from the Compilation Bureau? Isn't she good at agricultural research? Does Professor Chen want to recruit her?"
“Both.”
Sheng Pinghua nodded. He still found it incredible.
Such a delicate person actually had such great abilities, which attracted competition from the Academy of Agricultural Sciences, the Compilation Bureau and the secret departments of the military region.
Seeing that Lu Shouhai didn't believe it, Sheng Pinghua took out a large envelope from the drawer and handed it to Lu Yunsheng, explaining: "I sent someone to the Xinhua Bookstore in the city to verify it. This is what I brought back."
Taking the yellow envelope, Lu Yunsheng carefully opened it and took a look. Lu Shouhai also came over curiously.
There are three things in the envelope.
Two English books as thick as index fingers, a stack of banknotes, and a red hardcover certificate.
The certificate cover has the words "National Compilation and Translation Bureau" printed in large letters. When you open it, there is a photo of Jiang Yan on the left with a clear stamp on it, and detailed information on the right.
Such as name, gender, age, position and current address, and at the bottom is the date of issuance.
I don’t know where this photo came from. Even Lu Yunsheng, Jiang Yan’s closest husband, didn’t have a photo of him, but the people from the Compilation Bureau actually found it.
Looking at the contents on the certificate, Lu Shouhai sighed repeatedly.
“That’s amazing!”
"At the age of 18, I became a translator for the National Compilation and Translation Bureau."
"Thank you for the compliment, Chief."
Lu Yunsheng carefully put the certificate back into the envelope. Lu Shouhai smiled and said, "I'm not praising you."
Lu Yunsheng took it for granted, "To praise my wife is to praise me."
Lu Shouhai smiled with envy and admonished like an elder: "You have married a good wife!"
"Well, I married a good wife." Lu Yunsheng stood up and looked at the two of them. "Commander, I have to take the certificate back to my wife, so I won't bother you anymore."
Lu Yunsheng ran away and immediately wrote a letter home to share his joy with his wife.
Family compound.
Jiang Yan and her sisters-in-law returned home chatting and laughing. The training was over and everyone could relax.
During this period, the family’s vegetable garden and poultry were not properly maintained.
Yuan Sufeng complained: "I'm so exhausted during this period. I don't want to participate in any training anymore."
"Yes, this training is even more tiring than the busy harvest season in the countryside." Feng Yingchun stretched his neck and talked about the plans for the next few days.
"I have to clean up the house tomorrow. It's been a while since I last did a thorough cleaning. The house is all dusty."
"Let's go to town in a couple of days and buy some pig offal. Old Xu from my family always tells me about the pig intestines and fried pig liver made by Jiang Yan."
"I want to eat meat!" Yuan Sufeng muttered, "Sister, how can I make pig intestines without the smell?"
He Hongxiu smiled and replied, "Wash it with baking soda and the smell will go away."
"What is that?"
"Does the supply and marketing cooperative sell it? Is it expensive?"
Yuan Sufeng and Feng Yingchun were very curious. He Hongxiu shook her head and said that the baking soda was given to her by Jiang Yan. Later she went to the supply and marketing cooperative to ask, but they didn't sell it.
"Doesn't that mean we can't eat delicious pig intestines?"
Yuan Sufeng sighed regretfully, and Feng Yingchun settled for the next best thing, "You can also buy pig liver to stir-fry, or buy pig tails and pig ears to stew. The stew supply and marketing cooperative sells them."
Jiang Yan smiled and said, "In fact, you can also use wood ash to wash it. It depends on whether the sisters-in-law think it is dirty or not."
Baking soda is weakly alkaline, and wood ash is also alkaline, so they can be used to wash pig intestines.
Jiang Yan didn't know it at first, but after basic learning, the knowledge that she had forgotten became clear again.
Upon hearing this, Yuan Sufeng's eyes lit up, hope rekindled, and she asked curiously, "Is wood ash the ash left after the hay is burned?"
Jiang Yan nodded and explained, "We burn firewood every day, and what's left in the stove is ash."
"Wood ash can not only be used to remove oil and odor, but is also a very good fertilizer. Crops will grow better if wood ash is mixed into the soil."
He Hongxiu: "We have a lot of wood ash at home. We used to throw it away, but we never thought we could use it to irrigate the soil."
Feng Yingchun suddenly realized.
"No wonder. When we reclaim land in my hometown, we always set fire to the weeds first. We also burn the dry grass in winter before spring. I thought it was just laziness before, but it turns out that the wood ash is fertilizer."
"Sister, you know so much. We just know that we have to burn the grass, but you know why we have to burn the grass."
Yuan Sufeng looked at Jiang Yan with admiration. No matter what era, the poor people always respected those who were truly knowledgeable.
People like Jiang Yan, who are knowledgeable and down-to-earth, are even more likable.
