"Sui Sui, where did you learn how to make braised pork? How come you make it so well?" Xu Mian asked curiously.

Xu Sui put the braised pork piece by piece into the aluminum box. "My classmate's father is the chef of our county's state-owned hotel. She brought braised pork one day. I had never seen this dish before, but it looked delicious, so I asked her how she made it."

Xu Mian: "It smells delicious. Your cooking skills are amazing."

"It's because I have good cooking skills." Xu Sui said with a smile: "I just took advantage of the fact that you were willing to put in meat and firewood."

In those days, except for state-owned restaurants, the food of each household was very different. For example, at the Xu family, basically, if the bottom of the pot was smeared with pork fat, it would be considered a meat dish, and adding some pork fat residue would make it a meat dish.

It uses little oil and seasoning, and is mostly cooked in water. It is healthier than modern reduced-fat meals, and how delicious can it be?

She divided the braised pork into three portions, put two into aluminum boxes and put one into a bowl.

After Xu Bing came back from morning training, she handed him both aluminum boxes and said, "Brother-in-law, this is the braised pork I made. You can heat it up in the cafeteria for lunch. Please give the other one to Captain Lu."

Except for special circumstances, Xu Bing always ate lunch in the army cafeteria. The food expenses were 46 cents, which was deducted directly from his salary. Occasionally, he would bring some food home to eat.

When he opened the lunch box, he was surprised and said, "This is really well done. It seems I am in for a treat."

"When this thing is hot, they eat it all by themselves. Those little butts have very sensitive noses."

Xu Bing took his lunch box and went to the troops.

Xu Sui, Xu Mian and the others haven't had breakfast yet.

Xu Mian steamed a few steamed buns and ate them with braised pork in the morning.

Human beings' desire for sugar and fat is engraved in their genes.

The finished braised pork is bright red in color and melts in your mouth. With the sticky soup, the fat aroma of the pork belly and the soft and glutinous texture with the right balance of fat and lean meat, Tuan Tuan especially loves it.

Even Yuanyuan, who is usually a slow eater, ate without saying a word.

As for whether eating meat early in the morning is good for the body, it is something that only people with a full stomach would consider. In some places, people even eat it twice a day.

military camp.

Xu Bing found Lu Chenghuai who was arranging matters in the parade ground.

"Captain Lu, good morning." Xu Bing greeted him first, "My sister asked me to bring this."

When Lu Chenghuai saw the aluminum lunch box in 놛's hand, he was slightly startled. He took it without opening it and said thank you.

Xu Bing waved his hand and went back to where he was working.

놛The battalion commander has now become a postman for the two of them to deliver things.

Next to Lu Chenghuai was the regiment's chief of staff, Wang Hong, who was 35 years old and had several deep wrinkles on his forehead.

He joked, "I heard from people earlier that you were dating Xu Bing's sister, and I believed it. But now I want to meet Xu Bing's sister and see what she has to win you over."

Lu Chenghuai had already opened the lid of the box. The bright red piece of meat trembled a few times and a rich meaty aroma wafted out.

"Good boy, it turns out you like people with good craftsmanship." Wang Hong's nose twitched, "I'll follow you this afternoon."

"You can even be a chef in a state-owned hotel. No wonder they were able to get you."

On this island, we either eat in the cafeteria or eat meals cooked by our family. It’s good enough if my wife can cook the dishes well. I haven’t tasted this kind of food for a long time.

Lu Chenghuai covered his lunch box and said without disguising, "But she was the one who took me down. I'm still in the probation period."

녪 Hong was a little stunned.

Lu Chenghuai had good qualifications and good looks, even though he looked a bit stern. After only a few days on the island, a young nurse and an elementary school teacher tried to introduce him to a date, but Director Yang rejected them all.

Even with such excellent conditions, Xu Bing's sister was not liked after just one meeting. She is really special.

놛 laughed heartily, "See she gave you red roast pork, she should be far away."

Lu Chenghuai lowered his eyes. If it was another woman, it might be a mutual affection, but if it was Xu Sui, it was really certain.

I always feel that person is just returning the favor.

Xu Sui sent a telegram to Qingshan Brigade. She was working here, and the food relations and other things there had to be transferred over. These had to be dealt with before reporting to school. Sending a letter would be too slow, and there was a risk of loss.

Unfortunately, she knew much about that era and didn't know when telephones would be available in the town.

It was already the next day when Xu Changgen of Qingshan Brigade received the telegram.

Everyone knew that Xu's youngest daughter had joined the army, and the telegram must have been about Xu Sui.

Xu Changgen unfolded it and took a look.

The content of the telegram was short: junior high school teacher, need to transfer household registration, food, oil, organization.

Xu Changgen smiled happily after reading it.

Sui Sui found a job there, as a teacher, so at least she could rest assured.

놛 also had to hurry up and complete these formalities and send it to the lady. Although the time was not written in the telegram, the sooner the better.

Xu San laughed, "This month, the captain received two telegrams, one reporting safety. It seems that this one is good news."

You know, the captain is usually a cheerful person, who strictly manages the people under him. Now it is obvious that there is a happy event, and the person is still young.

There is nothing to hide about this.

Xu Changgen put his hands behind his back and said, "My daughter Sui Sui found a job there and asked me to help her with the formalities. San, you go find Lao Ma and ask him to help me. I'm going to the commune."

"Okay." Xu San agreed and asked curiously, "Captain, what job did Sui Sui find?"

"That means being a junior high school teacher."

Although his tone was calm, one could still see Heo Jang-geun's satisfaction.

After Xu Changgen left, someone said, "There are schools in the brigade where you can be a teacher. Why do you have to go there? It's too far away from home for a girl like you."

Xu San turned his head and said, "You now understand. The school in our brigade is a private school, and it uses points as funding. It only receives a subsidy of more than three yuan a month. But since it is close to the military, it must be a public school, and it is funded by the state."

My cousin is a teacher in the county town, and she estimated that "it should be at least 30 a month."

"So much! That's how much people get when they become regular employees, right?"

Others were a little shocked. This was better than working in a factory. All you had to do was talk, and you could have more holidays.

"The captain's family is really good. All his children are retired, and his eldest son is staying with him to take care of him in his old age. He can also become a cadre of the brigade in the future. This child is living a comfortable life. If I had known this, I would have sent my child to school."

"There are only a few families in the brigade who send their children to school. Look at those people, they are also working in the fields. It must be the brigade leader who has foresight."

"I think Xu Sui has been average since she was little. She is pretty and well-behaved. She used to be a bit dull, but once she grew up, she found a good job not long after graduating. She is better than her brothers and sisters. She will definitely be lucky in the future."

"I remember she was born at the beginning of spring. Girls born at the beginning of spring have ordinary childhoods, good fortunes when they grow up, and prosperity in their old age. But..."

"Cough!" Xu Sanxiao coughed lightly.
