Chapter 107 Since the Face Has Been Torn

Wang Ziru smiled brightly and said the truth, "There is no secret. Just cook for everyone the same way you cook for yourself."

"Sister-in-law, if you have the ability, don't be modest!" Zou Bu looked at the woman with a bright smile, with a hint of surprise in his eyes, and then chuckled.

Everyone ate and drank their fill and was very satisfied.

Some were sitting, while others were standing at the door of the canteen, picking their teeth with toothpicks and basking in the sun.

Everyone pricked up their ears, wanting to hear what secrets the military wives from the village had to make such delicious dishes.

"Thank you, Minister Zou! Of course, cooking does require some skills. For example, different chefs have different control over the heat for the same dish."

"Oh? It does sound quite profound when you put it that way."

"That's right! So I told you this, but you might miss some key points when you get home." Wang Ziru's eyes turned and she chuckled, "Why not call my sister-in-law here so we can talk face to face."

Zou Bu hissed and said with difficulty, "This won't do! Sister-in-law, you don't know that our unit is actually the same as your husband's. It belongs to the military organization and has strict rules. No one is allowed to bring their family members to eat here."

"Really?" Wang Ziru had indeed never considered this point.

This is the first time I heard that they are a military organization. In this case, if I can handle the job of cooking this time, it will be of great benefit to me in the future.

You can also receive a pension when you retire.

"Hehehe...how about this, sister-in-law? Tomorrow is Sunday, and there isn't much to do at work. You two can come to our house and play! And teach your sister-in-law by the way! She's from your place, and she can't cook my hometown food. I've missed it all these years."

Wang Ziru smiled with her pearly white teeth and declined politely: "Zou Bu, you are such a joke! We are guests when we go there, how can a guest give advice to the host?"

"What's the big deal? She doesn't know how to do it, and she's not willing to learn. That means she's not a good comrade."

Wang Ziru didn't know how to respond to Zou Bu's words, and quickly turned her gaze to Zhai Ximo.

Zhai Ximo, who was not far from his wife, nodded slightly. Having some experience in the army, he slowly scanned the Zou tribe.

After a while, Zhai Ximo said in a clear voice: "Next time we come, Zou Bu will invite my sister-in-law to have a meal. Women can understand cooking with just a little communication."

"Alright! Then let's do it next Monday." Zou Bu didn't want to embarrass him. As long as he was willing to teach, he had already made the biggest concession. He thought for a moment and said, "Xiao Wang! Then you will officially start working next Monday."

Then, before Wang Zonghao could even say thank you, Zou Bu looked at Wang Ziru again and said, "You guys should also come into the city and keep an eye on him. You must teach Xiao Wang a lesson first."

"Of course! Of course! Thank you very much to Zou Bu for giving my brother this opportunity."

These words were Wang Ziru's heartfelt gratitude.

Zou Bu stood up and walked out of the small dining hall, then remembered that he had another dinner that day, "What are we having for dinner?"

Seeing Zou Bu asking about the dinner that night, Old Man Zhang hurried over and said, "There is a hen and mushrooms..."

"Hen stew?"

"Well," Old Man Zhang turned around and looked at the Wang siblings, unsure if they would stay here for dinner before leaving, "Xiao Wang, what are you going to do with the chicken?"

Wang Zonghao lifted his apron and wiped his hands, his excitement still not subsiding, "Zou Bu, how do you like to eat?"

"You still don't have an idea? You still have to rely on your sister? Fine, you two should discuss it carefully and make sure everyone can taste the cooking of the new chef."

He had only walked a few steps out of the canteen when he heard Wang Ziru ask from behind, "Do you like spicy chicken?"

Zou Bu suddenly turned around, his whole body was extremely surprised, "Sister-in-law, you can also make spicy chicken? That's a great dish to go with wine! Come on, did you guess that we want to have a drink today?"

"...Then let's make spicy chicken." Wang Ziru said with a smile.

Suddenly, a group of comrades standing at the door of the canteen, picking their teeth and sunbathing, including Officer Liu, a few men who liked spicy food, were jumping in the backyard with joy like children.

Everyone happily went back to work on the second floor in the front yard.

After serving the dozen or so comrades who were working in front, Wang Ziru turned around and started to clean the table.

"Jonghao, get ready to eat."

"I've been hungry for a long time, sister. You are so good at cooking. Please stay with me in the city for a few more days next week and teach me." Wang Zonghao's face was full of joy, and he quickly cleared the empty plates on the table.

Zhai Ximo was standing outside the canteen basking in the sun. When he heard his brother-in-law's request, he turned and walked into the canteen to help clear the table.

Old Man Zhang: "Little soldier, please don't put it away. Don't dirty your military coat. We should do this job."

"Uncle Zhang, you're too polite. I didn't help with anything. Cleaning up a few dishes is nothing." Zhai Ximo helped to wipe the table clean, then went to the kitchen to serve the dishes. Finally, he sat next to his wife and watched them eat.

Maybe a little bit of each dish was left before it was served, so that one could be full even with some straw raincoat rice.

Zhai Ximo felt deeply uneasy because his wife was so capable and talented.

Earlier he had gone out of the canteen and went to the small second-floor office of the Zou Department.

Taking advantage of chatting with Zou Bu, I finally found out which unit Han Suijing belonged to: the 11th Army of Kunshi Military Region.

As one of the few elite ace troops, the three divisions under Kun City are Type A divisions and have made great military achievements.

Zhai Ximo understood that both places were garrisons in border areas, and a considerable number of troops were not combat troops, but were responsible for construction, exploration, road building and other tasks.

But they belong to a combat unit, which is the main reason why Han Suijing has not been able to go home to visit his family.

He also learned that Han Suijing had never been married and had not returned for many years since he joined the army. However, the Han family was considered the most prestigious family in Cangnan County and was protected by all parties, so his parents would visit the army every two years.

It seems more like an indirect way of urging marriage.

He didn't know whether his wife knew about these things.

Even though he was also a soldier, when he heard Zou Bu praising Han Suijing and his brother, he couldn't help but feel a deep respect for Han Suijing.

"Then, should I go to the Han family and apologize?" Zhai Ximo thought to himself.

"Why don't you go up front and bask in the sun? Why are you looking at us?" Wang Ziru held the bowl. It was a rare good meal, so naturally she wanted to eat an extra bowl of rice. The food in the city was so good that one meal was enough for three days.

Zhai Ximo sat on a high stool, legs crossed, and asked her, "Do we really have to go into the city every day next week?"

"Of course, brother-in-law, you have nothing to do at home, so it would be stupid not to come to the city and eat at the company cafeteria every day." Wang Zonghao said with a playful smile, and then he asked Zhang Laohan, "Uncle Zhang, do you buy vegetables for our small cafeteria every day?"

Old Zhang was drinking cabbage soup. Hearing this, he put down his bowl and waved his hand, saying, "The comrades in the logistics department are responsible for buying vegetables from the supply and marketing cooperatives. Our chefs only need to cook."

"Aren't you going to buy vegetables?" Wang Zonghao was a little disappointed.

He looked at his elder sister and said, "Sister! Look, we in Longwang Village live by the sea, and almost every day people go out to sea to fish. Why don't you and your brother-in-law tell Zou Bu to buy seafood from us in the future."

"What do you want to do?" Wang Ziru glanced at her brother.

"Sister! Do the math. If our family supplies seafood to this place every day, that would be a good small business, right? Brother-in-law."

Zhai Ximo had a calm expression and sat steadily on the high stool, although he wanted to say something.

But since there was an outsider, Old Man Zhang, present, no one said a word.

"Sister, you really don't know how hard our parents have worked. If we don't do the business, someone else will. Right?"

Wang Ziru was a little surprised. She didn't realize that her younger brother actually wanted to do business with a county unit.

She chewed the food slowly and said unhappily, "Zonghao, listen, working here is much better than going into the seafood business, which is more stable. As for my eldest brother and dad, I have other considerations."

"No, sister..."

Wang Zonghao was so anxious that he was almost sweating.

With such a good opportunity, wouldn't it be given to others for free?

Wang Ziru raised her hand, knocking the chopsticks on the table. "One more thing, don't get involved in the procurement. Procurement has always been a corruption-stricken area in a unit. You, always remember to do your job as a cook well."

Zhai Ximo's eyes showed surprise, but more of it was surprise.

My wife actually knows so many ins and outs of the unit.

It was only after he attended military school for three years that he gradually understood some of the things going on in the unit.

"Zonghao! You have to listen to me. What your sister said makes sense. You haven't even finished your job as a cook, and you want to make money elsewhere! Since we are cooks, we should just focus on being cooks. When we have time, we can figure out how to make delicious dishes."

Wang Zonghao was speechless because of what his sister and brother-in-law said.

Old Man Zhang buried his head in his meal and didn't say a word.

After lunch, Wang Ziru asked her brother to clean the kitchen, and asked Mr. Zhang about the canteen.

She and Zhai Ximo planned to take a walk around the county town.

The couple walked out of the yard one after the other and saw two familiar faces walking towards them.

"Old Zhai! I finally found you two." Zhang Kang's recognizable voice stunned Zhai Ximo.

He brought his newly engaged fiancée Zhu Yan, who waved over here from a distance with his arms raised high.

Are you two coming into town to buy things?

Wang Ziru also saw the girl trailing behind Zhang Kang.

The two parties approached each other, and Zhang Kangkuan smiled with a thick face, "Sister-in-law! You came into the city with me."

"Yes! Are you coming to town to buy something?"

"Yes! I got a ticket and was just about to come over to find you guys to go to the supply and marketing cooperative together." Zhang Kang also saw the bastard standing at the gate of the Armed Forces Department and deliberately raised his voice, "Look, Zhu Yan and I are getting married, and we don't plan to buy those three-turn and one-ring things, just buy her a watch."

"That's fine. Zhang Kang is a willing person. You have to treat Zhu Yan well after you get married."

"Hehehe, that's for sure." Zhang Kang felt sweet in his heart, as if he had eaten honey, and he scratched his head with a silly smile.

"Sister Ziru, you are in the city too?" Zhu Yan followed Zhang Kang closely, staring at Wang Zonghao with shining eyes. He was wearing an apron and sleeves and looked like a cook, but she had no intention of greeting him.

After taking a deep look at Wang Zonghao, Zhu Yan lowered her eyes slightly and stood beside Zhang Kang shyly. The close relationship between the two of them could be seen at a glance.

Wang Zonghao didn't expect that he would run into his ex-fiancee when he went out with his sister and brother-in-law.

He originally wanted to tell his sister that after he had tidied up the stove, he would go with them to the largest supply and marketing cooperative in the county.

"Disgusting woman..." Wang Zonghao's brows wrinkled and he cursed in his heart.

Ever since the farce of being broken off the engagement that day, the next time Wang Zonghao saw Zhu Yan, it was to go into the city to buy wedding supplies.

I didn't expect that she would agree to Zhang Kang's new love so quickly. Let's just consider that their relationship is completely broken.

Zhai Ximo turned around inadvertently and saw his brother-in-law coming out. He asked, "Zong Hao, do you want to go to the supply and marketing cooperative with us too?"
