Chapter 69: Stealing Firewood (Wealth) to the Army



"This pig's trotter is so delicious, chewy, and the seasoning is especially good!"

Feng Sipo spoke, praising Qiu Yantang to the point of ecstasy, "That's right, don't you see who did it?"

After saying that, he patted himself.

After all, it’s Chinese New Year, and she basically did all the cooking, so Qiuhua shouldn’t mess it up.

"Yes, the little ancestor's cooking is the most delicious!" Qiuhua and the others also spoke up.

"This jelly is crystal clear and has an amazing texture! The sauce is just right too."

Qiuhua and the others also thought it was delicious, but the sauce was just soy sauce, sesame oil and a little vinegar, which was a bit of a forced compliment.

But Qiu Yantang was obviously so proud of the praise that his tail was about to rise to the sky.

"These mushrooms are delicious! Super tender and smooth. And these bean sprouts are crispy and sour. They taste better than the ones made by the military chef."

After Feng Sipo finished speaking, Qiu Yantang picked up another piece of fish belly meat with chopsticks for him. This piece of meat was fat, tender and delicious, with very few bones.

"Thank you, Tangtang," he said, and put it in his mouth. "It's delicious! Tangtang, how did you do it? There's not even a fishy smell, and the fish meat hasn't changed in appearance after all these days. It's so delicious!"

All beasts and ghosts: Feng Sipo is shameless.

"This is easy. I just put a layer of ice on it after I brought it back. I didn't expect it to work so well. Fish don't have much fishy smell in winter, so it's just a simple matter of removing the fishy smell."

Feng Sipo nodded repeatedly as he listened, and concentrated on eating the food.

The main reason was that what Qiu Yantang cooked was so delicious that he couldn't stop.

Huang Ling and the others just felt that they had learned too little and were at a loss for words, so in the end they would just say "delicious!"

After breakfast, Huang Ling and the others went back. After all, they had to welcome the God of Wealth in the evening, but they were not allowed to do so because they were afraid of conflict.

Qiuhua and Zhang Shouquan also returned to their original residence.

Only Feng Sipo and Qiu Yantang were left.

"Will you join us tonight?"

"Okay, I'll go back after I pick up the God of Wealth." Feng Sipo said. After all, Qiu Yantang is a girl, and it would not be appropriate for him to stay here at night.

"Don't go back so late."

Qiu Yantang spoke, and these words immediately made Feng Sipo feel ambiguous.

"It's not good for me to live with you." Feng Sipo's voice was a little hoarse.

"Tsk! I mean you and Lu Jinnian can squeeze in and live in my house. That's a nice thought."

Qiu Yantang was so angry that he laughed.

Feng Sipo scratched his head awkwardly and said, "I'll go talk to them first."

"Well, okay, what kind of filling do you want? I'll mix it first."

Mixing the filling is a technical job, and Qiu Yantang doesn't think it's too easy.

"As long as it's not pickled, it's fine!"

Upon hearing this, Qiu Yantang also laughed.

"Okay, I promise not to make sauerkraut, because I don't like it either."

Feng Sipo was a little surprised about this.

Qiu Yantang looked at the leeks and green onions that were growing lushly, and decided to make leek and egg dishes and pork and green onion dishes!

It’s just right to use up this batch of green onions and then plant some more. It’s also good to plant onions on the night of the 30th.

The filling was made quickly, and the dough was kneaded out. The dough needed to rise for a while.

Feng Sipo came back soon, and while the dough was resting, he and Qiu Yantang started eating melon seeds together.

"The snow will probably melt in two months after the Lunar New Year, and then we can resume road construction."

Feng Sipo said that it was a bit late to talk about road construction, otherwise it would have been completed by now.

"Well, we'll need to grow more vegetables and bricks to build a house. But your quantity is a bit small. I suggest you increase production. I'll eat it all."

Hearing this, Qiu Yantang was quite happy. He was indeed the big boss of the military region, and his words were as good as his words.

"When spring comes, I'll think about whether I should expand production. By then, I'll forget about bean sprouts, as they're seasonal."

Mushrooms are available all year round, but bean sprouts are not. They can be cooked and eaten by themselves, but if they are sold outside, they will not sell well.

"Yes, a special training base also needs to be built."

Qiu Yantang changed the subject at this time, "But I didn't expect that Captain Fengda would lie to me and not tell me when he saw Qiuhua..."

"You didn't ask!" Feng Sipo said, "Let's put it this way, even if they were combined, they're no match for me. I'm originally engaged in this field of work."

But even though he said so, Qiu Yantang did not continue to ask, because there were many things that she should not know.

"Okay, the dough is almost done, let's make dumplings. You roll out the dough."

Feng Sipo was not polite either. He took out some dough, rolled it into long strips, pinched it into small pieces, rolled them into balls with his hands and flattened them until they were all flat.

Then use a rolling pin to roll it into dumpling wrappers.

"Tangtang, should we roll it out thinner or thicker?"

"Thinner ones, I like thin crust and big fillings."

After receiving the instructions, Feng Sipo nodded and rolled the dumpling wrappers into similar thickness.

Qiu Yantang likes big fillings, but he doesn’t put too much in them, otherwise they will break apart easily when cooked.

If the dumplings are broken, you cannot say they are broken or the filling is exposed, you should say they are earned.

What they packed today, apart from what they will eat during the welcoming ceremony, will also be eaten tomorrow morning.

Qiu Yantang put coins in every meal, two coins for each filling.

It is said that men and women work well together, and the two of them can make dumplings quite quickly together.

After I finished wrapping, I looked at the time and found that it was still a little early.

Qiu Yantang simply put the dumplings in a cooler place.

"Let's go and steal some firewood!"

Stealing firewood means stealing money, but without being discovered.

This was Feng Sipo's first time participating in such an event, and he didn't know where to go for a moment.

"Where are we going to steal then?"

Hearing this, Qiu Yantang's eyes rolled, "Then we definitely can't steal from Qiu Village, so let's go... hehe!"

She didn't say where they were going, but just dragged Feng Sipo away.

We followed the road straight to the base that Feng Sipo and his men were still building.

"Are you planning to steal the firewood from the base?" Feng Sipo felt that he had uncovered the truth, but Qiu Yantang's behavior was too bold.

"Keep your voice down, don't get caught. If you get caught it won't work. Just tell me whether you're going to steal or not."

"Steal!" Feng Sipo said seriously. Qiu Yantang is a girl. What's wrong with stealing firewood from their troops?

And since he didn't say it and Qiu Yantang didn't say it either, who would know?

It’s also thanks to the fact that this place is still under construction, so there are not many people guarding it. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have taken the risk of coming here to steal.

It was a small pile of firewood, with only four bundles.

Qiu Yantang picked up a bundle and said, "That's enough."
