"Ye Yun, do you go for a morning run too?" Zhang Ya asked curiously.
"No, I left around six o'clock. I just went to the field to arrange for Gousheng and the others to move corn. Teacher Zhang, you have time today, even going for a morning run," Ye Yun said, looking her over.
"Well, it's a holiday, so I come out for a walk and get some exercise whenever I have time," Zhang Ya said, tossing a strand of hair. Her pure and elegant temperament was captivating.
"Oh, is that so? More exercise is a good thing; it helps with health. By the way, I heard Lu Xiaoqing is in your class, right? How's her studying?" Ye Yun asked casually.
"Lu Xiaoqing! Not bad. She's very smart and studies very hard. Lately, many students in the class have been caught dating, but she hasn't. Someone confessed to her before, but she rejected him, saying that her first love has returned." As she spoke, Zhang Ya looked at Ye Yun meaningfully.
"First love? This girl is only eighteen years old, where would she get a first love from!" Ye Yun retorted.
"Oh, that's not necessarily true. Kids these days mature very early. I was in a relationship in high school too, it's normal," Zhang Ya said calmly.
"You were in a relationship in high school?" Ye Yun asked in surprise.
"Are you surprised? A beauty like me must have had a lot of suitors in high school, so it's perfectly normal for me to have a boyfriend early on."
"Okay, I thought you were the kind of beautiful and academically gifted girl who was oblivious to everything else and only focused on studying the classics."
Zhang Ya chuckled and said, "There are many people like that. There were a few in our class back then. But unfortunately, I'm not one. Don't assume I'm a good woman just because of my appearance. Actually... I'm a bad woman."
"You're a bad woman, aren't you?" Ye Yun looked her up and down curiously.
“You can’t tell if someone is good or bad just by looking at them, especially women. They’re naturally good at deceiving people, especially a beautiful woman like me.” As she spoke, Zhang Ya stepped forward and reached out to stroke his cheek.
Ye Yun subconsciously stepped back. He had never underestimated Zhang Ya, but he never expected her to say these things.
Why are you telling me all this? Aren't you afraid I'll tell others?
Zhang Ya smiled faintly and said casually, "It doesn't matter. If you like me, just say so. But I believe you wouldn't do something so pointless."
"Believe me? You think you know me well?"
"No, I just... have a good feeling about you, I guess I like you a little!" Zhang Ya winked at her, then turned and left.
Watching the other person leave, Ye Yun had a premonition that he and Zhang Ya would definitely have a deeper connection.
Back home, Lin Shuyue picked vegetables in the garden in front of the door, including a lot of chili peppers and cowpeas.
"Sister-in-law, picking vegetables."
"Yes, you're back!" Lin Shuyue got up and came out, her beautiful legs in stockings were quite noticeable, which surprised Ye Yun.
"Why are you wearing stockings again?"
"Didn't you say that if you want to see it, then wear it!" Lin Shuyue said with a smile.
"What do you mean I want to see this..." Ye Yun scratched his head awkwardly.
"Am I wrong? Didn't you say you wanted to see it? Then I'll change it back." With that, Lin Shuyue turned around and was about to go back.
Ye Yun quickly grabbed her arm and said, "No, I was wrong. I want to see, I just want to see."
Only after receiving Ye Yun's approval did Lin Shuyue show a satisfied smile. She turned around, tapped Ye Yun's forehead, and said, "That's more like it. If you like it, I'll wear it for you to see. Otherwise, you'll complain to me again."
“I didn’t complain.”
"Hmph, just because you don't say it doesn't mean you don't care. Go home and deal with those lobsters!" With that, Lin Shuyue turned and went home with a smug look on her face.
Ye Yun followed closely behind and went to Lin Shuyue's room, where he opened the refrigerator to check the frozen lobsters.
Although the lobsters didn't freeze after an hour, they basically couldn't be frozen anymore.
Ye Yun poured the lobsters into an iron basin, took it out, filled a basin with cold water to soak them, took a stool, sat down, and began to process the lobsters.
Preparing lobsters isn't too difficult. We've already made the lobsters expel their impurities. Next, we just need to remove the intestinal tract and cut off their heads.
"Are we about to start processing this?" Lin Shuyue brought over a stool and observed carefully.
"Of course, these are river lobsters, and they're usually quite dirty. You have to remove the shrimp vein. Just pinch the little tail at the back and twist it left and right to pull out the shrimp vein," Ye Yun said, demonstrating to Lin Shuyue.
Lin Shuyue watched it twice and tried to remove the shrimp veins herself, succeeding on her first try.
"That's easy!"
"Of course, but some people online say that this method will make the shrimp meat loose. But it doesn't matter. As long as it's clean to eat, we don't need to care too much about the texture."
The two chatted as they removed the shrimp veins and cut off their heads.
It took about half an hour to clean all the lobsters in the pot.
"Alright, the lobsters are cleaned up, you can start cooking now." Ye Yun picked up the cleaned lobster meat and headed towards the kitchen.
Lin Shuyue followed closely behind and asked, "Are you planning to do it now? It's only 10 o'clock!"
"We don't need to rush to cook the shrimp, but we need to cook for Gousheng and the others first. I wanted them to finish quickly, so I took over their lunch," Ye Yun explained.
"Ah, it's one thing for you to find them work, but you also cook for them?" Lin Shuyue said with a dissatisfaction.
"Well, I was able to get a thousand from this job without much effort, so it's only right that I cook some food for them. That's called using both kindness and severity."
Lin Shuyue chuckled twice and teased, "Looks like you really did have a good time as the older brother!"
"Of course. If you're the boss, you get more benefits, so you have to treat your subordinates better. That's how you get them to follow you wholeheartedly. You can't rely on fists alone. People are emotional and rebellious. There's a saying that goes something like this: No one in this world can be defeated, only killed. There is no such thing as true victory."
“You’re an educated person, I can’t argue with you. What are you planning to do for them? You know there are quite a few of them, it’s a lot of trouble to cook for so many people,” Lin Shuyue asked curiously.
Ye Yun snapped his fingers and said with a relaxed expression, "If we're talking about how many people can eat, then we have to talk about the big pot dishes that were most popular during the Great Production Period. Let's make big pot dishes."
"Big pot cooking! That's great, but do we have enough food at home?" Lin Shuyue asked worriedly.
"That's enough. We bought so much already. We also have a vegetable garden. Just add more vermicelli and steam some more buns."
So the two of them began preparations.
First, boil a large pot of water and put the sweet potato starch in it to cook. This stuff is a bit difficult to cook, and it usually needs to be soaked overnight before use, so don't worry about it getting mushy.
Next, we started preparing the vegetables: peeling and chopping potatoes into chunks, slicing carrots, garlic sprouts, cowpeas, and other leafy greens.
