Chapter 175: Dinner



Shen Anan smiled: "My acupuncture skills are just okay, Uncle He is too kind."

After thinking for a while, she took out a piece of freckle cream she made herself from the space and handed it to Shopkeeper He.

"Uncle He, this is the freckle cream I made myself. Apart from the medicines I bought for treatment, most of the medicine I bought before was used to make these."

Since their relationship has become closer, she thought she could ask him to help her try to sell some ointment.

After all, one needs an excuse to buy medicinal herbs. Otherwise, if she buys too many herbs here, who knows what this person will think of her.

"Is this ointment made from all the medicinal herbs you bought?" asked Shopkeeper He.

“Yes, it’s not easy to refine, so I don’t do it much, but the results are very good.”

The price will naturally not be cheap. After all, food and other things are so expensive outside now, so her ointment naturally cannot be cheap.

"Oh? How come the effect is so good?" Shopkeeper He took the ointment and smelled it. There was a faint medicinal fragrance in it.

He was also interested in the recipe of the ointment, but it was someone else's unique recipe, so he couldn't ask for it, so he could only ask about its effects.

"You can see the effect the next day after using it, and the spots on your face can basically be completely eliminated within ten days." Shen Anan replied calmly.

"So powerful?" Shopkeeper He was a little surprised.

He himself is a Chinese medicine practitioner. It is very difficult to remove the spots on the face. If you treat it seriously, it will take at least a month to get rid of them.

Moreover, it is basically impossible to completely remove it. In most cases, it is just diluted but cannot be directly removed.

It is incredible that you can remove facial spots in just ten days.

"That's right, Uncle He, you can give it a try."

She took this out to pave the way for herself to come here to buy medicine frequently. Of course, after she had tested the effects for the shopkeeper, she could occasionally sell some in the future.

"Okay, then I'll give it to my wife to see how good your medicine making skills are."

Shopkeeper He said as he put the ointment into his clothes. He was really curious about Shen Anan now.

Not only has he mastered such powerful acupuncture at such a young age, but he can also make ointment to remove freckles.

It is definitely impossible for an ordinary family to cultivate this skill. Could it be that this girl’s family is a family of traditional Chinese medicine?

"Okay then. I'll trouble Uncle He today."

Shen Anan said a few nice words to Shopkeeper He again, and then turned around and left Renjitang.

When she returned to the compound, it was almost four o'clock in the afternoon, and she still had to prepare dinner for the night.

Fortunately, I went to the hospital this morning after completing Guo Zifeng's treatment, otherwise I would have to go to Guo's house again.

Thinking of what Lu Yanzhou said yesterday about treating everyone today, she directly used both the big pot and the small stove.

She divided the duck into two halves, one half was used to make salted duck, and the other half was used to make clear duck soup, which clears away heat and reduces fire.

The big stove is used to steam buns and porridge.

We didn’t dare use all white flour to make steamed buns, but instead used a mixture of corn flour and white flour.

However, her cornmeal was specially ground using the meat grinder in the space, so the cornmeal was also very fine.

Her steamed buns made of two kinds of flour are not much different from those made with pure white flour. In fact, because corn flour is added, they have more flavor and taste better.

I went to my space to make stir-fried potatoes with shredded pork, minced pork with cowpeas, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, cabbage with oil residue, and egg stew with dried shrimps. Finally, I fried a plate of peanuts.

After finishing it, I went back outside to make some smashed cucumbers, and it was almost complete.

She cooked quite a bit of each dish, and just a few meat dishes were considered a very good treat in that era.

The dried shrimps and peanuts were found among the items she had collected at the black market.

Not only dried shrimps, but also the leftover oil residue from making lard in her space.

There were also kelp, dried shrimp and hairtail in the space, but she didn't use them to cook, after all, these were enough.

After steaming thirty buns bigger than fists and adding half a basin of porridge, the meal was considered complete.

Because we didn’t cook much meat outside, the two families next door didn’t smell any fragrance.

When Lu Yanzhou came back with his five comrades, Zhou Fangqin next door was still a little curious.

"Hey, are the neighbors treating us to dinner today? Why can't I smell anything?"

Of course, Shen Anan didn't know what her neighbor next door was thinking. When she saw Lu Yanzhou coming back with people, she quickly brought out the dishes from the kitchen.

"Wow? This dish is quite rich. My sister-in-law must have worked hard."

"That's right, there are so many meat dishes, they smell delicious, this time we are in for a real treat."

"Yes, yes, thank you for your hard work. I didn't expect that my sister-in-law is not only talented, but also has such good cooking skills."

“…”

When they saw the sumptuous dishes on the table and smelled the faint fragrance, they praised Shen Anan.

Lu Yanzhou is young, and Shen Anan is even younger. He is the youngest among these battalion commanders and deputy battalion commanders, so Shen Anan naturally becomes their younger sister.

"It's just a regular meal, everyone please sit down and eat."

Lu Yanzhou invited several people to take a seat, but the smile on his face showed his pride. His wife really made him proud.

"I'm just making some home-cooked dishes, and I'm not sure if they'll suit your taste. Everyone, please take a seat. My husband and I are new here, and I'll have to go to your place for training in the future. I'll have to take good care of you."

As Shen Anan spoke, he took out two bottles of Fenjiu from the cabinet.

She had actually stockpiled several bottles of wine in her space during this period, including several bottles of Moutai, but she was reluctant to part with them and finally chose to take two bottles of Fenjiu.

"Hey? Look at what you've done, sister-in-law. We've eaten your meal, and we'll be ashamed if we don't take care of you in the future." Battalion Commander Qian replied with a smile.

He has the closest relationship with Lu Yanzhou, so there is nothing wrong with what he said.

"That's right. You have both wine and delicious food. We feel embarrassed." Another man replied with a smile.

He is Sun Guohui, the instructor of the first battalion, and is also Lu Yanzhou's direct superior. He knows more about Lu Yanzhou and Shen Anan than others.

Especially the reason why Shen Anan also wants to participate in the training.

However, since he had been informed by his superiors, he could not do anything about her except cooperate, so he made a profit from this meal.

"Don't worry, sister-in-law. Xiao Lu and I are in the same camp. If you need anything, just call me and I will definitely help you." Another person also replied.

He is Zhou Jiahao, another deputy battalion commander of the first battalion. After Lu Yanzhou came and was no longer in charge of the affairs of the first battalion, he did not move.

Since the two of them were responsible for similar things, he was naturally happy to be on good terms with Lu Yanzhou. (This is all made up, please don't take it too seriously!)

As for the remaining two people, they are the battalion commanders of the second and third battalions.

Normally these two people would not go to other camps to have a treat.

But Lu Yanzhou was different. They knew that this guy had a strong background. When they heard Lu Yanzhou ask them to have dinner together, the two of them followed him shamelessly.
