In just a few minutes, Jiang Yue had already chopped the chili peppers and pork.
"I'm not resting anymore, I'll handle these things. What do you want me to do?" Lu Yu took the kitchen knife from Jiang Yue's hand and asked with a smile.
"Then kill the fish, clean it thoroughly, cut it into pieces, and marinate it with ginger slices, light soy sauce, and cooking wine for a while."
After saying that, Jiang Yue realized that she had only bought baijiu (Chinese white liquor). In this day and age, cooking wine was not yet available in this place.
"You clean the fish, I'll do it myself."
Lu Yu nodded.
Jiang Yue stood at the door, watching Lu Yu quickly kill the fish, remove the scales, cut it, and clean it thoroughly.
His movements were nothing fancy, all practical.
How does he know so much? How has he been living these past few years?
Lu Yu quickly finished cleaning the vegetables.
"Honey, I'll cook dinner when I get home. You can rest at home."
Lu Yu looked around the room and noticed that something was missing.
"I'm going to buy a stove and some coal now."
Hearing Lu Yu's words, Jiang Yue was stunned for a moment. She meant that she always felt something was missing from the kitchen. It turned out that the most important thing hadn't been bought.
Having grown accustomed to modern high-tech kitchen stoves, we've forgotten that this is the 1970s, when we used traditional stoves and honeycomb briquettes.
"Buy two stoves."
Jiang Yue reminded Lu Yu.
Cooking with one stove is too slow. If you're hosting a dinner party, you need at least two stoves to cook and boil at the same time. Otherwise, it can take more than an hour to prepare a meal.
"good."
As soon as Lu Yu stepped out, Jiang Yue chased after him.
"You forgot your money and tickets."
Jiang Yue gave Lu Yu thirty yuan and several tickets.
"Thank you, wife."
After Lu Yu left, Jiang Yue continued preparing the other dishes.
"Knock knock knock".
While Jiang Yue was busy, she heard a knock at the door.
Jiang Yue washed her hands, opened the door, and saw Zhang Yu and several other sisters-in-law.
"Comrade Jiang, are you preparing dinner?"
Although Jiang Yue didn't like Zhang Yu, she needed to act friendly to fit in. However, if Zhang Yu dared to do anything, she would retort.
Seeing that Jiang Yue didn't speak, Zhang Yu squeezed in and quickly walked towards the kitchen.
She saw that Battalion Commander Lu and Jiang Yu returned with a large sack of things.
"My goodness, Comrade Jiang, you bought so many delicious dishes!"
This is a huge piece of meat, plus a fish, several side dishes, and cured pork and fish...
Could it be that Battalion Commander Lu and Jiang Yue are only eating this much food tonight?
Can the two of them eat all that food?
The other sisters-in-law were also somewhat surprised when they saw what was in the kitchen.
They were looking at what Jiang Yue had bought, but they didn't expect that Jiang Yue would also buy cured meat and cured fish.
Cured pork and cured fish are only available during festivals like Chinese New Year; people rarely eat them on ordinary days.
"My sisters-in-law have come at just the right time. Tonight, Lao Lu and I will treat you all to dinner."
These people are Lu Yu's close comrades-in-arms. She bought so many things today, originally planning to treat everyone to a meal tomorrow. Today, she planned to cook a few dishes just for Lu Yu so he could taste her cooking.
Now that they've come and seen it, let's invite them today.
Zhang Yu looked at Jiang Yue with some surprise. Was Jiang Yue going to treat them to dinner?
The sun has risen in the west!
Jiang Yue and Battalion Commander Lu have been married for almost a year and have visited several times, but she's never invited them to a meal. Is Jiang Yue's cooking safe to eat? Won't she poison them?
"Comrade Jiang, you're too kind..." Tang Zhaodi's words of refusal were interrupted by Zhang Yu.
"Thank you so much, Comrade Jiang. I've been looking forward to this meal for months."
