While steaming the rice, Tian Wenjun first peeled off the side of the ham. She carefully peeled off the outer skin, then peeled off the greasy layer under the skin and put it aside for later use.
She also chopped up half a carrot and an onion and set them aside.
After eating a layer of greasy meat, she shaved a thin layer of fat and lean meat for herself and put it in her mouth.
Chen Jianguo stood at the kitchen door and said, "Don't move. Eat it if you can. Have you forgotten the last time you got food poisoning?"
Tian Wenjun thought about it and it was true, but it happened a long time ago.
She said: "I assure you, this thing is really edible. If you don't believe me, try it first."
Tian Wenjun used chopsticks to pick up a thin piece of ham and put it towards Chen Jianguo's mouth. Chen Jianguo thought of the time when he went out on missions and ate bugs and mice in the woods.
When he thought about it now, the scene at that time stimulated his brain and his stomach began to cramp and feel uncomfortable.
He leaned back and said, "I don't want to eat."
Tian Wenjun chuckled and stuffed the ham into her mouth.
Wow, this is such a long-lost scent.
Chen Jianguo was stunned that his wife could eat raw meat.
"Do you want to eat?"
Tian Wenjun said: "Eat it. If you don't want to eat it, forget it. I'll give myself two more slices."
She turned around and peeled seven or eight more slices and put them on the plate, then added another plate of kimchi.
After the rice was cooked, she poured it into a plate and let it dry for a while.
Pour a little oil into the pot, add chopped green onion when the oil is hot and stir-fry, then pour the prepared carrots and onions into the pot and stir-fry them first. After the aroma comes out, add the basil into the pot and continue to stir-fry. Then pour in the rice and add seasonings.
After the ham fried rice came out of the pot, Tian Wenjun served herself a small half bowl and a full plate for Chen Jianguo.
The two of them sat at the dining table. The rice in front of them exuded a fragrant aroma. Tian Wenjun took a bite and felt dizzy with the fragrance.
I haven't eaten ham for a long time. I'm really craving for it when I take a bite now.
Seeing that Chen Jianguo didn't move his chopsticks, Tian Wenjun said, "Eat, why don't you eat?"
Chen Jianguo hesitated for a moment, but still started eating.
He took a bite and his eyes lit up. This fried rice was so delicious.
Tian Wenjun knew from the expression on his face that he also liked this taste.
She asked me, "Do you want to eat?"
"It tastes similar to bacon, but more fragrant than bacon."
Tian Wenjun smiled softly: "Then you can try the raw fish on the plate now, it's really delicious."
Chen Jianguo said: "Indeed, this is much better than the rat meat and insects we ate when we were out of water and food in the forest."
Chen Jianguo accidentally let the cat out of the bag. Tian Wenjun paused while holding the chopsticks. She knew that he was very tired when he was out on missions, but she didn't expect it to be so hard.
When Chen Jianguo saw Tian Wenjun suddenly put down her chopsticks, he thought that what he had just said had made Tian Wenjun lose her appetite.
Chen Jianguo said: "Isn't what I said enough to make you lose your appetite? Sorry, wife, I didn't mean to say those things."
Tian Wenjun said: "What are you saying sorry for? It's not like I have no appetite. I know the circumstances are special every time you go out, and I feel sorry for you.
I was just thinking about it. I will make you some jerky in the future. If you go on a mission again, the jerky may be able to help you."
"Jerky? Like ham?"
"It's different. It's too cold to do it now. We have to wait until the sun is out before we can do it."
"Then I'm in for a treat again."
Tian Wenjun knew that Chen Jianguo was actually very easygoing and would be happy as long as he had a meal that suited his taste.
Such men tend to have simpler ideas at home.
Encouraged by Tian Wenjun, Chen Jianguo ate two slices of ham and couldn't hold back after finishing.
Who would have thought that this thing would taste so different when eaten raw.
After the two finished eating, Chen Jianguo took the initiative to wash the dishes.
Tian Wenjun filled the hot water bag and glass bottle with hot water and cleaned the living room again.
Chen Jianguo came out to wash his hands, and Tian Wenjun said, "Come here for a moment."
Chen Jianguo came over and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Take off your coat."
Chen Jianguo looked down at his army green jacket and took it off with a puzzled look on his face.
Under the army green jacket was a grey sweater knitted for him by Tian Wenjun.
"Take off your clothes too."
Chen Jianguo: "What's going on?"
"Just take it off when I tell you to. Why are you talking so much?"
Chen Jianguo obeyed and took off his coat.
He exercised a lot during the day, and he was wearing a gray sweater under his coat, the sleeves of which were hemmed.
Tian Wenjun got up and went into the room, and when she came out she was holding a black sweater in her hand.
Chen Jianguo's eyes lit up and he immediately smiled.
"Wife, you are not going to weave me clothes again, are you?
Why didn’t I see that before?”
"I started knitting this dress for you a few months ago. I've never brought it to you before. Try it on to see how big it is."
Chen Jianguo took it excitedly, only to see that it was still a cardigan.
"Wife, you are so kind to me."
However, this dress has a low collar. If he wears it, won’t those people be able to see that he has a new dress?
After Chen Jianguo put it on, Tian Wenjun stood in front of him and carefully helped him to button it and tidy up his shoulders.
She looked at it and smiled with satisfaction: "Well, it looks good.
I will buy you a set of sweaters and trousers tomorrow."
"No, no, my clothes are not worn out yet, I'll talk about it after they are worn out.
Thank you, daughter-in-law, you are so kind to me."
Tian Wenjun was amused by his words: "Come on, you can wear these two clothes alternately from now on."
"I'm going to wear this new dress tomorrow."
Chen Jianguo was so happy that he was so excited that he couldn't sleep in bed at night.
Tian Wenjun slept soundly that night.
The next morning, when Tian Wenjun was at work in the restaurant, Zhang Guilan was called away for a meeting.
He Damei is feeling a little lazy now, so she came a little late.
She used to do the dirty work, but now most of it has been taken over by Wang Daqing. It is indeed inconvenient for He Damei now that she is pregnant.
Around nine or ten o'clock, many people came to the store to eat wontons, and Tian Wenjun was busy all the time.
Zhang Guilan's meeting lasted for more than two hours, and she was smiling as soon as she came in.
Tian Wenjun was busy until after two o'clock before she could rest.
When there were fewer people in the store, she cooked small wontons for everyone while Tian Wenjun and her friends were eating.
Several people sat at the dining table and ate wontons. Zhang Guilan said, "This morning, I had a meeting at the county committee and received a notice. It's also some news. I want to tell you."
Tian Wenjun was very quiet, but He Damei and Wang Daqing were a little excited.
He Damei asked, "Sister Zhang, what's the news?"
"The county requires that every chef in a county restaurant must go to the provincial capital for four months of training.
I have also signed up for our restaurant."
He Damei was extremely excited when she heard this, but she was pregnant and definitely couldn't give birth.
