Chapter 39 Brown Sugar Ginger Soup
"What's this for? You're making it hard for everyone to get along. Let's
all go to work." Du Shaojie suddenly felt a little upset, but he didn't say much, and waved his hand to let everyone go to work.
Several people then started to work in the kitchen. Qin Xiaomei and Wang Liwen washed vegetables together, Li Guixiang prepared steamed buns, and Du Shaojie was responsible for cutting vegetables and cooking.
After Chen Jizhou and Zhai Yucheng knew about this, they both praised Du Shaojie behind his back.
As the saying goes, "Time reveals a person's true character, and adversity reveals a friend's true friend." The qualities that Du Shaojie possesses are particularly precious in this era of self-preservation.
"Sister Li, we're going to make steel wire noodles tonight. Bring a little more cooking oil."
Du Shaojie went back to the dormitory to rest for a while at noon. In the afternoon, he took a look at the kitchen and decided to make a simple dinner.
The noodle press I bought has been used several times and is quite convenient to use.
Today he planned to make steel wire noodles according to the "oil-splashed pulled noodles" method. There were garlic, chili powder, some Chinese cabbage and coriander in the canteen, and the ingredients were basically enough.
However, the last step of making it required pouring hot oil, so he specifically told Li Guixiang.
"Okay, I'll go right away."
Li Guixiang responded and turned to get some cooking oil.
Afterwards, Wang Liwen began to pick and wash vegetables, Li Guixiang kneaded the noodles, and Qin Xiaomei was responsible for pressing the noodles.
Du Shaojie began to prepare small ingredients. He needed more garlic, so he chopped all of it into minced garlic. After the Chinese cabbage was ready, he blanched it in water and then took it out for later use.
Next, adjust the bottom of the bowl and add appropriate amounts of vinegar, soy sauce, salt, MSG and a little sugar.
After he finished his work, the steel wire noodles on Li Guixiang and Qin Xiaomei's side were also freshly baked, and they were poured directly into a large basin while steaming hot.
Sprinkle chili powder and minced garlic on the steel wire noodles, then heat a pot of hot oil and pour it on with a large spoon several times.
"Sizzle. Sizzle"
the hot oil stimulates the aroma of minced garlic and chili, and a fragrance rushes straight into the nostrils.
The ingredients are still the same, but through different processing methods, the taste is completely different.
When serving rice, fill each person's rice bowl with a bowl of steel wire noodles, and then put a few cabbages on the surface, which makes people's appetites grow.
"Oh, not bad, you have changed the trick again. Master Du, this canteen is still a blessing for you. We are all blessed."
Someone joked with Du Shaojie, but he knew Du Shaojie's character, so he didn't dare to belittle the retired Master Sun.
Praising one and stepping on the other is actually not good for anyone.
"Xiao Du, give me two servings. Old Zhai is a little uncomfortable today. I will take them back to him later."
It was Chen Jizhou's turn, and the other party handed over two rice bowls.
Du Shaojie hurriedly asked, "Is it serious? I'll talk to Doctor Wang later and ask her to go and have a look."
"After working all day, Old Zhai felt hot and took off his coat. I guess he was sweating and got some cool air. It shouldn't be a big deal."
In recent days, Lin Zuo directed the team members to renovate the pigsty, and afternoon study was suspended this week.
Zhai Yucheng wanted to be cool while working, and he didn't feel anything at the time, but he fell ill in the afternoon.
Chen Jizhou said a few simple words and left the cafeteria with two rice bowls.
"Go and see if Zhai is pretending to be sick? Humph, he didn't get sick earlier or later, but he got sick when he started renovating the pigsty these days?"
Lin Zuo watched all this silently, and then sent a man to Chen Jizhou's dormitory.
The workload these days was very heavy, and many team members had complaints. He planned to kill a chicken to scare the monkeys, and he would start with Zhai Yucheng.
After the meal, Du Shaojie said hello to Li Guixiang and Qin Xiaomei: "Sister Li, Aunt Qin, I'll take care of the rest. Uncle Zhai is sick, Doctor Wang and I will go see him first."
Now he usually doesn't call Zhai Yu "Chief Engineer Zhai" in front of others, but "Uncle Zhai".
"Then you go quickly, don't worry about the rest."
Qin Xiaomei and Li Guixiang were very anxious when they heard this, and hurriedly urged Du Shaojie and Wang Liwen to leave.
Du Shaojie took Wang Liwen to the dormitory of Chen Jizhou, Zhai Yucheng and others. When they entered the room, they saw that Zhai Yucheng was still lying on the bed, and the dinner that Chen Jizhou brought back to him was not touched at all.
Wang Liwen walked up and touched the other person's forehead, then went back to the dormitory to get a stethoscope and a thermometer.
"Uncle Chen, help him sit up, I'll take a look at his throat."
Wang Liwen worked for a while, and then she had a plan in her mind.
"There are no rales in the lungs, no heart murmurs, and the throat is slightly red. It should be a cold. Drink a bowl of brown sugar ginger water or take some medicine, and observe it again."
Wang Liwen was not idle when she arrived at the farm. While studying hard, she also treated many people.
Apart from other things, it is no problem to treat headaches and fevers.
"We have run out of cold medicine, Doctor Wang, do you have any?"
Chen Jizhou looked at Wang Liwen helplessly. They didn't eat or sleep well here, and their health was not as good as before, so the existing cold medicine had been used up long ago.
It is inconvenient to bring things from home. The medicines applied for this month have not been issued yet. It is really troublesome.
"I don't have any either. Some of the medicines I brought have been used up."
Wang Liwen shook her head, not knowing what to say.
Du Shaojie immediately said, "I will go back and cook a pot of brown sugar ginger soup first. I will talk about the medicine later."
After that, he turned and ran to the dormitory.
In the dormitory, he took out some brown sugar. The brown sugar was the reward last time. He had never touched it, but now it came in handy.
Then, he took the brown sugar and ran to Qin Xiaomei's house.
"Uncle Chu, I want to trouble you. I want to boil a pot of ginger soup here."
Qin Xiaomei had not come back yet, but Chu Xiaowei was at home.
You don't need a big pot to boil ginger soup. Du Shaojie himself doesn't have a suitable cooker, and the canteen doesn't have one either.
"It's a small matter. Come with me."
Chu Xiaowei took Du Shaojie into the kitchen. There was a pot and ginger at home, so he could use it at will.
Du Shaojie found a suitable small soup pot, cleaned and sliced the ginger, and then started to boil it on the fire.
When the ginger soup becomes thick and has a strong flavor, add some brown sugar and stir evenly, and a pot of brown sugar ginger soup is ready.
Chu Xiaowei brought a thermos bottle and poured the brown sugar ginger soup directly into it to prevent it from getting cold.
"Uncle Chu, I'll send the ginger soup over, and I'll bring you the thermos later."
"I still have a thermos at home, don't worry. Just give it to my sister when you're done, no need to make a special trip."
Then, Du Shaojie returned to Chen Jizhou's dormitory with a thermos bottle.
Zhai Yucheng forced himself to get up and drink a bowl of brown sugar ginger soup, then fell asleep. He sweated a lot at night, got up and changed his clothes and felt much more relaxed.
He drank another bowl the next morning, and except for feeling weak, there was no problem with anything else.
"Zhai Yucheng, I see that you don't have any illness, don't you look good? You must participate in the morning labor, and I won't give you leave again."
Lin Zuo has been paying attention to Zhai Yucheng, although the other party's face is not very good, he just pretends not to see it.
Lin Zuo came to Zhai Yucheng's dormitory early in the morning and asked Zhai Yucheng to work on time.
"Team Leader Lin, Old Zhai didn't even eat last night and he is still very weak. If you force him to work now, you will be fully responsible for any problems."
Chen Jizhou was very annoyed and slammed the table immediately.
If it was his own business, he might not confront the other party, but for the sake of his old friend, he could no longer choose to remain silent.
