Chapter 27 Scrambled Eggs with Tomatoes
I was originally planning to leave, but then I thought about how Wei Dong cooked and bought vegetables from the people in the staff compound. There were limited vegetable plots over there, and they grew few vegetables, so I got tired of eating them all the time.
I asked the auntie which family grows vegetables.
The aunt couldn't help laughing: "Big sister, you are from the city, don't you know, every family in our village grows vegetables? What do you want? I will take you there."
Lian Yuqing returned with a full load, buying a big bag of vegetables, cucumbers, cowpeas, peanuts, and even a family that grew tomatoes.
The family said it was hard and not tasty, so they gave it to her for free.
The green and red tomatoes look so pretty.
When Lian and Qing returned to the troops, it was almost dark.
It took her two trips to get all the things back home, and then she returned to Director Meng's house and took her own car. Xu Qiuhong enthusiastically invited her to have dinner with her.
Lian Yuqing lied without blushing: "Dongzi will be back soon, I'm anxious to cook for him, maybe next time."
Xu Qiuhong said regretfully: "Let's just eat together." But she still let the person go.
Wei Dong went home and brought back two barrels of oil and a bag of rice.
Lian Yuqing lay on the table weakly, "Why did you come back just now?"
In fact, he had already got off work. It took him some time to collect these things, and he even exchanged them for some rice with his comrades.
"Hungry?"
She frowned, "I'm already hungry, hurry up and cook. I bought some vegetables, what do you want to cook?"
"You're back in the village? What's the matter?"
Lian Yuqing stood up and pushed him to the kitchen. "What else can we do? We can ride a bike."
"I'd like to borrow it from Coach Meng's house." His eyebrows raised and the corners of his mouth curled up. That smug little expression almost had the words "I'm smart, right?" written on his face.
"Not bad, not stupid." He didn't even realize that the corners of his mouth were raised and his eyes were smiling when he spoke.
"Forget it, let's cook quickly." In order to speed up the process, Lian Yuqing helped pick beans and wash vegetables.
Wei Dong flipped the wok easily, his forehead covered with beads of sweat, and quickly cooked three dishes.
Scrambled eggs with tomatoes, stir-fried beans, and stir-fried sausage and vegetables.
Rice is for lunch. In order to save time, people usually steam the rice for lunch and just heat it up in the evening.
Green and red tomatoes taste sourer than all-red ones. Lian Yuqing asked Wei Dong to add some sugar. They are sour and sweet with a crisp taste. Lian Wei Dong likes to eat them.
The two of them ate very quickly and were sweating profusely.
After eating half a bowl of rice, the hunger subsided and the eating speed slowed down. Lian Yuqing kicked him under the table and said, "Can you do me a favor?"
Wei Dong put down his chopsticks and said simply, "Speak."
"Well, I bought a few chicks. Can you help me see where to put them?" Lian Yuqing felt a little embarrassed. After all, as a rich lady, she casually spent millions and started raising chickens. She felt ashamed for some reason.
Wei Dong stared at the woman opposite for more than ten seconds. He said he was not surprised that she was fake. Lian Yuqing always looked down on rural people. He said, "The chicken has no meat. You have been deceived."
