When they returned to the military compound, the guard at the gate saw the two sisters-in-law carrying so many things, so he hurried forward to help and sent them back to the family compound.
Wen Guoer felt warm in her heart. Being a military wife does have some benefits!
It was almost noon, and the kitchen was still not cleaned up, so Wen Guoer couldn't start cooking. She was worrying about how to have lunch when Tang Zhan opened the door and walked in, holding two lunch boxes in his hands.
"Wife, I'm back."
Xiaobai rushed over and chased him, biting his trouser leg to show affection to him. He leaned over and rubbed its head.
"I was just thinking about what to cook." Wen Guoer stepped forward, took the lunch box from his hand, put it on the dining table, and opened it.
There was a serving of cabbage and potatoes, a serving of scrambled eggs with chopped green onions, a white flour steamed bun, and three whole grain pancakes.
"You eat the steamed buns, and I eat the cakes." Tang Zhan hugged her from behind with an intimate tone.
"The team also gave you scrambled eggs to eat?"
Wen Guoer remembered that the food in the team during this period was probably not so good.
"I'll pay extra to have the kitchen cook for you." Tang Zhan let go of her, pushed the food in front of her, picked up the trowel and handed it to her, signaling her to eat quickly.
"It seems that you have quite a bit of pocket money~" Wen Guoer joked.
Tang Zhan looked up at her, as if he thought of something, then he stood up and walked into the bedroom, took out an envelope from somewhere and put it next to her.
"This is all my salary and bonuses from these years, excluding what I give to my family. At my current rank, I also get 65 yuan a month, 45 kilograms of fine grain, 2 kilograms of meat, and 2 ounces of cooking oil. I'm giving it all to my wife for safekeeping."
Wen Guoer watched the man solemnly tell her all this, and her heart was touched. Just because she was his wife, did he have to give her everything? This wholehearted devotion made her doubt whether she could bear the love she had for him.
Tang Zhan saw that she was just looking at him, leaving the envelope there without moving, and continued to explain:
"There were still 2,100 yuan in it. I took some back when I went back to my hometown."
"To have this much money, you must have been on a lot of dangerous missions, right?" Wen Guoer said with red eyes.
Seeing that she was about to cry, Tang Zhan quickly stepped forward and held her in his arms:
"Don't worry, I'm fine."
Wen Guoer didn't know why the atmosphere suddenly changed, and shyly pushed him away:
"Who's worried? Come on and eat! It's getting cold."
Tang Zhan returned to his seat only after seeing her smile again.
He ate quickly but not rudely. Wen Guoer, watching him, felt that the food tasted more delicious.
After dinner, Tang Zhan mixed some mixed grains with vegetable soup for Xiaobai. Xiaobai looked at the lunch in front of him and wondered what he should do if he didn't want to eat it. He had meat and bones to eat when he was with his mistress, but why was he only able to eat this when he was with his husband? Aww~ He didn't want it...
But seeing the threatening look from the hostess, it seemed that there was nothing else to eat except these, so he started to eat reluctantly.
Wen Guoer enthusiastically recounted her experiences and gains in the morning, feeling very happy.
"Now that I'm here with the army, I should invite your comrades to my house for a meal. Your guard Xiao Gao and the wife next door, Wei, have helped us so much. We should thank them."
Tang Zhan listened to his wife making all the arrangements for him, carefully and thoughtfully. He held her in his arms and caressed her gently, saying softly:
"I listen to my wife."
"Also, when you have a vacation, let's go see my grandfather. We agreed to go see him when we join the army, so we don't want to make him wait too long." Wen Guoer suddenly thought of this important matter. She hasn't gone to recognize her relatives yet.
"I don't know what kind of person my grandfather is, and my father as well. They both hold high positions. I wonder if they can get along well with each other?" Wen Guoer thought to herself.
"Let's go this weekend." Tang Zhan agreed.
In the afternoon, Tang Zhan returned to the military area. Wen Guoer put away the things she brought back in the morning. The stove in the kitchen was fully prepared, and they could start cooking dinner.
Thinking about her own poor cooking skills, she felt a bit overwhelmed. Back home, it was always Tang's mother who cooked, and she helped out. Her mother's cooking skills were also average. Now that they were living together, they couldn't eat in the cafeteria every day, could they? Thinking about the bland radish and cabbage in the cafeteria, Wen Guoer decided to start studying cooking.
She remembered that there was a chef uncle in her family. His ancestor was a royal chef. He had a cookbook and many of his signature dishes came from that cookbook. She often saw the uncle studying the cookbook in the kitchen.
Thinking that the cookbook should be in the uncle's room, she flashed into the space and walked into the uncle's room. Sure enough, she found the cookbook in the drawer, and there was also a medicinal diet cookbook underneath. It seems that people who can become masters all have some background.
She spent the entire afternoon immersed in the recipes, studying the dishes.
Seeing that it was getting late, she flipped through the cookbook, thinking about what to make for dinner. Many of the big dishes were not suitable for display. They were too wasteful of oil and ingredients, and in this day and age, they were too conspicuous!
Finally, I saw some noodles with soybean paste on the staple food page, and I thought it was pretty good. In this day and age, who needs several dishes and soups? Just having some white noodles is a feast and a delicacy!
Take out the white flour and pork belly, which are the main ingredients.
Knead the dough, roll it into a pancake, fold it into strips, cut it into thin strips half a centimeter wide, shake it out, and the noodles are ready.
The next step is to make the fried sauce. This is the key. The taste of the fried noodles depends on this. The recipe is very detailed, just follow the steps.
First separate the lean meat from the fat of the pork belly, cut the fat into thin slices, then cut it into cubes, and cut the lean meat into cubes as well.
Prepare chopped green onion, minced ginger, and garlic. Add a little oil to the pot. When the oil is hot, add the green onion segments and fry until golden brown. Then add star anise and stir-fry until fragrant. Then add the diced fat meat. After the oil comes out, add the diced lean meat, stir-fry evenly, simmer for five minutes, then add the minced ginger and cooking wine and continue to stir-fry until fragrant.
