In this age of quotas for everything, many things become outdated and obsolete.

Frugality is a virtue and waste is absolutely not allowed.

Coal does not expire. Even if you cannot use up all of it after buying it, just pile it in a dry room.

It just so happens that the west room is empty now, so the coal can be placed against the wall.

There is actually not much coal worth less than two hundred yuan. It looks like there is more when it is placed on the car. It is just a small pile against the wall and even looks a little pitiful.

The coal stove is cylindrical and looks short and fat, which is somewhat cute.

It is not made of iron, but seems to be made of fired clay or something, with only some iron mesh inside.

One advantage of this type of stove is that its surface is not too hot and can be touched.

In winter, you can hug the coal stove to keep warm without getting burned.

Su Ruanruan looked at this chubby guy and was very interested.

While Fu Wenjing was returning the cart, he immediately bought a big clay pot from Taojin.

After Fu Wenjing came back, Su Ruanruan smiled and said to Fu Wenjing, "Today I went to the commune and met a train driver from another place. I bought a lot of things from him. There was also a big casserole, which I can use right now."

The casserole Su Ruanruan is the largest one I bought, which is just right for stewing braised pork.

There were pots and bowls on the stove and table in the kitchen, filled with meat, oil and lard. Fu Wenjing had naturally seen them a long time ago.

After Su Ruanruan finished her explanation, she looked at Fu Wenjing eagerly, waiting for Fu Wenjing's reaction.

She just said it politely, but if this matter is interpreted according to current regulations, it is actually speculation.

I don’t know what Fu Wenjing would think or see.

Su Ruanruan was actually a little nervous.

After all, she has the gold in her hands, and she will inevitably buy things from it in the future, and she will use this excuse when the time comes.

If Fu Wenjing can't accept it, it will be very troublesome.

Su Ruanruan was looking at Fu Wenjing eagerly, and saw Fu Wenjing looking at her with admiration in his eyes.

"Wife, you are amazing! To be honest with you, I also went to the commune or the county town before, just to exchange some things that don't require tickets, but I never found them. Wife, this is only your second time going to the commune, and you actually bought it. You are amazing!"

When Su Ruanruan first heard Fu Wenjing's words, she thought that Fu Wenjing was making up stories to coax her.

But when Su Runrun saw the seriousness, shyness, curiosity and admiration on Fu Wenjing's face, she knew that what Fu Wenjing said was true.

Suddenly, Su Ruanruan had an idea and asked Fu Wenjing, "When you went there, you were wearing a military uniform, right?"

Fu Wenjing looked down at the clothes on his body and said, "I don't have any other clothes."

"......"

You two looked at each other and laughed at the same time.

Fu Wenjing wanted to go to the black market in his military uniform. Others would not think that he was going to buy something, but would just think that he was going to cause trouble.

Since Fu Wenjing had no objection to this matter, Su Runrun felt relieved.

"I'll go back and have a look. If I can't find it, I'll make it into meat jerky and mail it back home." Su Ruanruan said.

Fresh meat cannot be mailed, after all, there is no cold chain transportation now.

If you want to eat meat, you can only make it into dried meat or jerky.

Fu Wenjing touched Su Ruanruan's head and said, "If you can find it, buy some. If you can't, forget it. Your safety is the most important thing."

Su Ruanruan nodded, "I know, don't worry!"

Fu Wenjing looked around and asked, "Is there anything I can help with?"

"You go ahead and knead the dough! I plan to make steamed buns and steamed bread as my staple food tonight. I bought some standard flour so I can put more in. The buns will still look nice and white."

It doesn’t matter if the steamed buns are black, but if the buns are black, it will not look good.

"Okay, leave it to me!"

Fu Wenjing said this and washed his hands and went to knead the dough.

Su Ruanruan was not idle either. She filled the big pot with water, put onions, ginger, and garlic in it, and put the boiled bones in to cook.

The longer the bone soup is stewed, the better. The ribs can be added in the afternoon.

After the soup was stewed, Su Ruanruan quickly put the pork belly that had been rinsed with water into the small pot and fry it.

This step is to fry the tiger skin of the pork belly.

Put all the fried pork belly directly into the casserole, add spices, star anise, pepper, cinnamon, pour soy sauce, and finally add water to cover the meat, cover it with a lid and simmer slowly.

The two coal balls put into the stove have been burned red. Use fire scissors to put them into the coal stove, put another coal ball on top, and then leave it alone.

The fire in the coal stove is not strong enough, so the stir-frying is not very good.

But it is very convenient to use for stewing and you don’t have to worry too much.

As the water boiled, the aroma of meat wafted into the kitchen.

Su Ruanruan looked outside the kitchen. Not only was she not worried, she was even vaguely expectant.

Even boiling lard can attract Aunt Li, so will stewing meat attract other people?

"Wife, what are you looking at? Is there anyone coming?"

Hearing Fu Wenjing's words, Su Ruanruan looked at Fu Wenjing with a smile on her face, "I don't know if anyone will come, maybe someone will come."

Su Ruanruan's words were vague, and Fu Wenjing found it even more strange.

Seeing his face full of confusion, Su Runrun stopped playing tricks and simply recounted what happened in the morning.

"Is this not going to cause you any trouble?"

Fu Wenjing shook his head, "Of course not, my wife, you don't have to think so much."

Living next to each other, it is inevitable that there will be quarrels and frictions. It is common for them to quarrel today and make up tomorrow.

If you make a scene in the army because of a quarrel with the woman at home, you will just become a laughing stock in the eyes of others.

Fu Wenjing looked at Su Ruanruan with sparkling eyes. "I don't have much contact with Aunt Li, but I have heard about her from Sister Niu. Wife, you are amazing for making her lose face! I was worried that you would be bullied when I was not at home, but now I am relieved."

Su Ruanruan raised her chin proudly, "You don't have to worry at all, I won't let others bully me."

"My wife is the best!"

“You’re amazing too!”

The two of them praised each other, but they said it sincerely, and it didn't make people feel that they were flattering at all.

As they were going to have a big dinner in the evening, they simply had some noodles for lunch.

After dinner, Fu Wenjing was not idle either, and continued to help Su Ruanruan prepare dishes.

Because there were enough dishes prepared, Su Ruanruan did not plan to stir-fry the mushrooms. She just wanted to use them as a side dish and put some in suitable dishes.

Except for those that need to be stewed, Su Ruanruan would wash, cut and put away all other dishes after picking them, so that they can be stir-fried directly in the evening.
