Chapter 167: Yo yo yo——are you going to cover it up like this?
Hearing Wen Jiu say this, Yuan Fang immediately understood what she meant, because Zhao Shuo had told her about the situation of the competition. If there were no accidents, their camp would definitely win the championship. Even if they didn't win the championship, they would definitely be in the top three. She was going out to buy groceries.
She scolded him, "Cooking is fine, but how can I take advantage of you? Tell your sister-in-law what you bought, and I'll go buy some other dishes. I can't just eat your food and drink your drinks with a shameless face, can I?"
"Oh, sister-in-law!"
Wen Jiu hugged Yuan Fang's arm and acted coquettishly, "What you said is wrong. What do you mean by shamelessly eating and drinking my food? If you let me cook, that would be a disaster. I wouldn't even know whether the food is raw or cooked. This is called resource sharing."
"There's enough food, no need to buy more."
"I cook and you work, and win-win cooperation brings joy and excitement to everyone, which is a great thing."
In the original book, Lu Kitano did not participate in the competition because he injured his arm while on a mission before the competition. The winner was Qiao Yue.
When their camp was celebrating, Lu Beiye was full of regrets, so Wen Jiu thought of inviting everyone in their camp to celebrate together to make up for his regret of not being able to participate in the competition.
But she was more familiar with Yuan Fang as to the families of the platoon leaders under him, so when she bought food, she thought of asking Yuan Fang to cook.
Yuan Fang couldn't resist Wen Jiu's coquettishness, so she could only agree helplessly, "Okay, okay, I'll just do as you say, okay?"
Wen Jiu smiled with satisfaction and continued to fire sugar-coated bullets, "Sister-in-law, you are so nice. Meeting you must be a great blessing from my previous life. I really like you so much."
Yuan Fang was so amused that she couldn't stop laughing, and she didn't forget to tease Wen Jiu, "You like me, but what about your Captain Lu? Are you just going to abandon him like this?"
Wenjiu rolled his eyes, stuck out his tongue and playfully replied, "No, I have a big heart. Both trucks can hold both men and women."
"Ha ha ha ha……"
"You girl."
Looking at Wenjiu's cute and lovely expression, Yuan Fang felt that if she were a man, she would definitely give her her heart. No wonder her man spoiled and loved her so much.
The two of them carried the backpack back home, made a simple lunch and started to work. Wenjiu wanted to list the menu first, but he didn't know how many people might be there, so he could only ask Yuan Fang for help.
"Sister-in-law, help me!"
"Do you know which members of our camp live in the family compound?"
If they were going to celebrate, they would definitely invite people from the camp. She wasn't very familiar with them and didn't know much about them.
Yuan Fang thought for a moment and said, "Besides my family, there are only Ge Yueji and Qian Xuemei. Old Wu from Ge Yueji's family and Old Zhao from my family are both platoon leaders, and Old Ma from Qian Xuemei's family is the company commander. I'm pretty familiar with both of them."
Those who live in the family compound have families and their families are willing to accompany the army for a long time. There are relatively few of them. Most of the wives of soldiers have to take care of their families and will not come.
Wen Jiu nodded, "I understand."
Let's count the four families as 15 people, plus Wen Chuji and Xia Huaishan, that's 17 people in total. If we call on other company commanders and platoon leaders, there will be no more than 30 people at most.
The vegetables she bought should be enough.
"Sister-in-law, I'm sorry to bother you today. I think we'll have to cook two tables of dishes. Let me list the menu first and then we can cook!"
"It's not hard work at all. It's just cooking two tables of dishes, not digging in the mountains. You do your thing and I'll go back and get some pots, bowls, and utensils." After saying this, Yuan Fang left with a smile. They had to send wine and osmanthus cake to their house, so what was wrong with her cooking for them?
Didn’t they want to eat it too?
Wenjiu quickly listed the menu, which included: soy sauce duck, pig's feet stewed with soybeans, braised carp, winter melon and duck soup, pork ribs stewed with dried beans, chicken stewed with potatoes, and stir-fried chicken with sauerkraut.
The vegetarian dishes include: scrambled eggs with dried cucumber slices, cold bean sprouts, cold lotus root, stir-fried vegetables, braised tofu, and fried peanuts.
There were mostly men, and they had just finished a race and were very exhausted, so Wenjiu prepared more meat and dishes.
Yuan Fang came back with the plate and met Ge Yueji who had just returned from outside downstairs.
She asked curiously, "Sister-in-law, where are you going with so many plates?"
"Go to Captain Lu's house."
Ge Yueji pondered for a moment, then pulled Yuan Fang, who was about to leave, and whispered, "Sister-in-law, are you planning to celebrate in the evening? How are your plans? Have you discussed it and are you planning to celebrate together?"
They were all from the same camp, so she knew the same news that Yuan Fang and Wen Jiu knew.
Yuan Fang nodded, "Yes, you can also tell Xuemei not to cook tonight, and come to Captain Lu's house to help cook when you are free. You two are great cooks, so I won't be embarrassed."
When it comes to cooking, her skills are still a long way from Lin Xiulian’s but not too bad either. It’s mainly because Wenjiu bought too many dishes and she couldn’t handle them all.
"Where is it?"
Ge Yueji scolded, "How dare I dance in front of you with my skills? You go first, Xuemei and I will be here soon."
"Okay, I'm leaving then!"
Yuan Fang left with the plate. Ge Yueji said goodbye to Qian Xuemei on the way, then went home, put down her bag and picked up a pot of wine.
Qian Xuemei got anxious when she saw what was going on. "What should I do if you guys have prepared everything? If my husband knew about this, he would nag me to death because I didn't do anything!"
Ge Yueji joked: "Did your eyes go blind by a fart? How can you tell that we have prepared everything? We are still missing the fried cakes and porridge you made!"
"Yes, yes, yes!"
Qian Xuemei nodded happily and said, "I'm good at this. I'll go back and make it now." After saying this, she hurried home, fearing that she would be slow and unable to catch up.
Soon the cooks took their places and the kitchen was bustling with activity. Everyone was happy and chatting while they did their work. Wen Jiu was in charge of picking the vegetables, Ge Yueji was in charge of washing, cutting and marinating the meat, and Yuan Fang was still in charge of the kitchen.
Looking forward to it!
The competition ended smoothly!
No suspense!
Lu Beiye was the individual champion, and the camp he led was also the team champion. Everyone took the opportunity to clamor for a meal at his home to celebrate.
Wenjiu was cleaning the table when he suddenly heard excited cheers outside. He threw down the rag and ran out in a hurry!
How can you not watch it when it's so lively?
Who knew that as soon as he went out the door, he ran into a group of people pushing and shoving towards him. When Xia Huaishan saw the warm wine, he shouted happily: "Sister-in-law, my brother Lu has to..." Before he could finish his words, Zhao Shuo covered his mouth.
"Why are you in such a hurry?"
"Didn't the battalion commander open his mouth?"
Look at that loving couple, what is he doing here?
No one spoke. Someone suddenly reached out and pushed Lu Beiye out. Seeing that he was about to hit the wine, Lu Beiye quickly reached out and held her in his arms.
“Ya yaya—”
"Is this all?"
"There's no rush to celebrate now, right? It's not even dark yet!"
"Tsk tsk tsk! The world is going downhill!"
