After Lu Yu placed the coal briquettes, he said.
"Wait for me to come back and cook."
After Lu Yu finished speaking, he quickly left.
After watching Lu Yu's figure disappear, Jiang Yue turned around and went back into the house.
The apples and candies on the coffee table were all gone, and Zhang Yu's pockets were bulging.
"Comrade Jiang, your Battalion Commander Lu is so good to you," Tang Zhaodi said with a smile.
Lin Ling chuckled and echoed her sentiment.
"We really envy them."
The other women also smiled and praised him.
Hearing their laughter, Jiang Yue smiled, pursing her lips. Lu Yu was indeed extremely good to her.
Jiang Yue looked at the two stoves and decided to light them right away.
Jiang Yue picked up two lumps of coal with tongs and said, "Sister Tang, thank you for your trouble."
Tang Zhaodi refused, but couldn't resist Jiang Yue's insistence, so she took the coal briquettes home and exchanged them for two.
Seeing this, Zhang Yu pretended to say something.
"Comrade Jiang, would you like me to help you distribute the coal briquettes?"
Jiang Yue is so generous now, if she helped Jiang Yue distribute coal briquettes, maybe...
"No."
Jiang Yue's tone was somewhat cold, her gaze fixed on Zhang Yu's bulging pockets.
When Zhang Yu saw Jiang Yue's gaze, he quickly covered his pocket with his hand.
"Ouch, my stomach hurts a bit, I'll go back first." Zhang Yu ran off quickly.
Lin Ling and the other sisters-in-law felt that Zhang Yu had gone too far when they saw her like this.
They had just each eaten a piece of apple, and hadn't even eaten the oranges yet, when Zhang Yu stuffed them all into their pockets.
"Comrade Jiang, shall I help you light the coal stove?"
Looking at the elegantly dressed Jiang Yue, Tang Zhaodi felt that Jiang Yue was definitely not good at this.
"Thank you, Sister Tang, I know how to do this."
Jiang Yue put the burning coal into the stove, opened the cover at the bottom of the stove, put in two more new coals, and aligned the hole.
I filled a kettle with water and placed it on top.
Another pot of water was boiled on the other stove using a steamer. We have two metal thermos flasks at home, so we'll pour the water into them later and won't need to go to the cafeteria to get hot water anymore.
Jiang Yue fanned herself with a fan, trying to make the coal briquettes burn faster.
Tang Zhaodi, Lin Ling, and the others were somewhat surprised by Jiang Yue's actions. Comrade Jiang had previously been extremely averse to these tasks. If she even had a speck of dust or dirt on her clothes, she would want to change immediately.
"Comrade Jiang, is there anything we can help you with? Please don't be shy." Tang Zhaodi felt that it would be a bit inappropriate not to help them with anything since they had come to eat.
"Then please help me wash the dishes and chopsticks, and slice the cured meat into thin slices. Soak the cured fish in water..."
Upon hearing Jiang Yue's words, Tang Zhaodi and Lin Ling quickly stepped forward to help.
Before long, all the vegetables were chopped and washed.
The coal in the stove was burning brightly, and after the water boiled, the women rushed to fill the thermos flasks.
Jiang Yue planned to stir-fry a few dishes and then cook a hot pot, which would be quick and convenient.
The seasonings I bought today can actually be used to make hot pot broth.
Jiang Yue quickly prepared everything, and in no time, she had all the ingredients for the hot pot base ready.
Today I also bought a small bowl of lard and a small bowl of beef tallow. Lard is very expensive these days. Ordinary families only add a little bit, or even just a few drops, when cooking.
Jiang Yue scooped a large chunk of butter into the pot and, after it melted, added garlic cloves, scallions, onions, and cilantro, then sautéed them until fragrant.
After a while, add the chili peppers and chili pieces, then pour in the chopped ginger...
