Chapter 41: The small seafood in sauce subverts everyone’s cognition!
Lu Chiyu nodded: "Well, although I haven't eaten it yet, I once read the recipe in a food book. At that time, I thought it was delicious just by reading the text. Now that I have small seafood, I want to try it.
And even if it doesn't taste good, it doesn't matter. At most, I'll take it to the backyard to ferment it, and we can cook enough other dishes for everyone to eat, so it won't affect the dinner party."
After hearing what Lu Chiyu said, Qian Fanghua and the others were finally convinced.
Next, Lu Chiyu divided the work among everyone. Gu Yuan was responsible for chopping firewood, cutting meat and killing chickens, and washing various pots, pans, bowls, chopsticks, etc. The military wives helped with cooking, washing vegetables and small seafood.
Lu Chiyu helped Gu Yuan on the side, and then when it was time to cook, she took the lead in cooking.
Boiled chicken, ginger-fried duck, braised pork, steamed spareribs, various steamed, stir-fried, and fried sea fish, and large crabs were served one by one.
The highlight was of course the seafood in sauce, and Lu Chiyu made three full pots.
When Qian Fanghua and the others tasted the seafood in sauce, their eyes widened in amazement. They couldn't believe that the seafood scraps that they usually despised could be made so delicious.
"Wow, this sauce tastes so good when paired with these small seafood. We have wasted such good things in the past!" Guo Caixia couldn't help but sigh.
Qian Fanghua also said: "Who would have thought that this small seafood that usually has no taste when cooked would become something else after being dipped in this sauce.
But Xiao Lu, your cooking skills are still good. We can’t make this sauce.”
A military wife echoed, "That's right. Look at all these delicious dishes, Xiao Lu, you are truly amazing."
"Yes, yes..." Then everyone started praising him.
Lu Chiyu was embarrassed by the praise: "Sisters-in-law, you are too kind. In the past, no one thought of putting effort into these small seafood. Besides, I just learned this method from a book, so it's not a big deal."
What she said was true. Nowadays, people are only concerned about filling their stomachs. As long as the food is cooked, they just eat it as long as they are full. They don't spend too much time on seasoning.
Just imagine that there is not even cooking oil at home, who would want to make all kinds of seasonings?
Also, her seafood in sauce is the wisdom of everyone in the previous life, and it was really not invented by her.
However, even though Lu Chiyu was modest, Qian Fanghua and the others still believed that she was very capable. They said that regardless of other things, the fact that she was educated and could learn things from books was already very impressive.
More than ten minutes after the meal was prepared, Yang Jie and the other young soldiers arrived.
The food that Lu Chiyu prepared was very hard. There were seven or eight hard dishes made of pork, chicken, and duck, and seven or eight dishes of various sea fish and crabs.
After finishing the dish, everyone's eyes lit up after eating a small seafood dish in sauce.
In the end, the banquet was a great success for both the host and the guests, and this meal also overturned the perceptions of the young soldiers and the wives of the soldiers who came to help.
Because Qian Fanghua and the others had to go home to take care of their family's meals, Lu Chiyu brought some food home for each of them.
Because the portion of the seafood in sauce was large, they each took a lot, and then their family members who had eaten it also praised the seafood in sauce.
So after this banquet, Lu Chiyu's amazing cooking skills and reputation for his seafood in sauce spread.
After Xu Gong and his men came to present a banner and Lu Chiyu treated him to a meal, Lu Chiyu's reputation in the military region became even better.
When talking about the new daughter-in-law of Captain Gu, everyone thinks that she is not only as beautiful as a fairy, but also intelligent and brave, capable of both housework and housework, a true heroine.
Lu Chiyu was completely unaware of everyone's thoughts. At this moment, she was devastated by the news that the soldier had to return to the team early for a mission, and she felt completely depressed.
She never expected that after just taking a nice nap in the soldier's arms, the soldier would be notified to go on a mission.
After giving it to the soldier, Lu Chiyu lay in bed and couldn't get up until Qian Fanghua came with a pair of twins, a boy and a girl.
Wow, Lu Chiyu was shocked by the names of the seven-year-old twin brother and sister. The brother was called Haijun Shuai and the sister was called Haijun Hao.
Their father's name, the political commissar of Gu Yuan's regiment, was called: Haijun.
Lu Chiyu: This is a father who knows how to name his child. Everyone is rushing to praise him.
Qian Fanghua brought Lu Chiyu some great news.
That is, the junior high school jointly run by the military region and the nearby production team wants to recruit a Chinese teacher, who must be a high school graduate. Priority will be given to wives of soldiers in the army, and if there are no military wives, no one from outside will be recruited.
The wives of soldiers in their military region have no educational background. Qian Fanghua only learned a few words after attending literacy classes after joining the army. Many wives of soldiers cannot read at all.
Lu Chiyu is currently one of the only two high school graduates among the military wives, the other one being He Manman.
However, He Manman had said before that she quit her job in Lucheng and came to the military region to take good care of her pregnancy and give birth to her child, and she did not plan to go out to work again.
So now the only one who meets the requirements is Lu Chiyu. Qian Fanghua immediately came to tell Lu Chiyu after receiving the news.
"Xiao Lu, jobs these days are all about finding the right position. Teachers have good benefits and are respected. But this teacher's job was vacated because a leader was transferred and his wife was transferred with him. You're the only military wife who meets the requirements, so don't miss out.
Look, I've got the application form for you. Once you fill it out and submit it, you'll have the job."
Qian Fanghua's tone was full of envy. Although she was uneducated, the people she admired most were the educated ones.
Her husband, Hai, actually only has a junior high school education. He was able to reach his current position thanks to his contributions before the founding of the People's Republic of China.
There were not many educated people at that time, and Lao Hai was able to carve out a path for himself because he was a hardworking self-taught person.
Seeing Qian Fanghua's excited face, Lu Chiyu knew that she was well-intentioned, but unfortunately she did not have the love for a stable job that people of this generation had.
If she wanted to work she wouldn't have sold her job at the machine shop.
So she said tactfully, "Sister Hai, I don't want to go out to work for the time being. Besides, although I'm a high school student, I don't have any teaching experience. I'd better leave this job to someone who is more suitable and in greater need."
Qian Fanghua didn't expect Lu Chiyu to refuse the job. She thought Lu Chiyu was afraid because he had never taught students before, so she encouraged him, "Xiao Lu, it's okay if you haven't taught students before. Everyone starts from scratch. You have enough education to take the job. I believe in your ability."
Faced with Qian Fanghua's enthusiasm, Lu Chiyu felt a little headache. It was not appropriate to tell her theory of lying down to others at this time.
So he said, "I heard that this junior high school is not close to the military area. If I go there to work, I may not be able to come back at noon, and I have to go to self-study in the evening. My husband Gu Yuan and I just got married, so I want to spend more time with him at home."
As expected, when Qian Fanghua heard that Lu Chiyu wanted to stay home with Gu Yuan, she was speechless. After thinking for a while, she said, "Then Xiao Lu, you should think about it carefully and make a decision after thinking it through. Your sister-in-law said a few more words because she was afraid that you would miss this rare opportunity.
But if you want to stay at home with Xiao Gu, that's fine. Xiao Gu has a high allowance and can support the family without any problem, so it's fine for you not to go to work.
So the decision is up to you. The registration deadline is three days from now, so you can make your decision before then."
Seeing that he had been fooled, Lu Chiyu breathed a sigh of relief and nodded repeatedly.
It seems that she needs to consider whether she should find a job that does not require her to go to work every day and is very flexible. Otherwise, if she encounters such a thing again in the future, she will have to worry about how to withdraw. Besides, finding a job that can also provide income is simply killing two birds with one stone.
Although she has a lot of material things in her space, she can't just sit back and enjoy all the savings. What's more, she still has to accumulate original capital for getting rich after the reform and opening up.
At this time, Qian Fanghua smiled again and said, "By the way, before Xiao Gu left for the mission, he told my Lao Hai that you had just arrived at the island, so he asked me to take care of you more during this period.
He also said that tomorrow you have to go to the first production team of the island to exchange things with the team leader's house. You have never been there before, so I want to accompany you. I also want to exchange some eggs and cloth.
Lu Chiyu didn't expect that Gu Yuan still remembered that she went to exchange things when he was on a mission, and asked Qian Fanghua to take care of her during this period. She couldn't help feeling sweet in her heart.
The two then agreed to set off at 8 o'clock the next day, and Qian Fanghua left with the two children.
Qian Fanghua had just left Lu Chiyu's house when Wu Juan found He Manman!
