Chapter 147



The mushroom meat sauce has just been cooked, and the rich aroma fills the air, making even Shuying feel a little hungry.

She simmered the mushroom and meat sauce over low heat for an hour or two. She took a bite of it and found the umami flavor of the mushrooms and the caramelized aroma of the meat mixed together very delicious. It was great to mix with noodles, use as a sauce, or cook fish stews.

After hearing the quarrel between Deputy Tuan Fang and Xia Lina next door, Shuying was convinced by the couple. Why did the quarrel never end?

Without caring about other people's affairs, Shuying bottled the cooked mushroom and meat sauce, put two bottles in it for her parents' home, and sent it to her parents' home along with other luggage and parcels.

It is very convenient to send luggage in the military district. You just need to send the package to the special express delivery room in the military district, and the logistics department that goes to the county town for procurement every week will send these express deliveries one by one.

That morning, Shuying didn't have time to deliver the package herself, so Li Hongqi came to her house and took the package to the express room for her.

Before leaving with the package, Li Hongqi said, "Sister-in-law, the team leader specifically asked me to look after it before he left on his mission. If you have anything to say, just tell me directly. Don't be polite!"

During the three months when her husband was away on a mission, Li Hongqi came to her house from time to time to help her, often filling her jar with water and turning the soil for her. When her husband was away, she couldn't invite him to dinner, so she occasionally cooked some food and gave it to Li Hongqi to take home, but he never took it away.

Shuying didn't know how to thank him, so before he left, Shuying stuffed him a small jar of mushroom meat sauce and asked him to take it home to taste it.

Li Hongqi was going to refuse, but Shuying said, "It's not something valuable. Take it home and let your wife taste it and also let me, your sister-in-law, taste my cooking skills. This sauce can be used to mix white noodles, as a sauce, or to cook fish. If you don't accept it, I, your sister-in-law, won't dare to trouble you for help again in the future!"

Li Hongqi was very moved when he heard this. He thought that Chen Tuan's wife gave him just ordinary pickles or peppers, and his sister-in-law's cooking skills were extraordinary, while his wife's cooking was just average. Li Hongqi, who didn't want to accept the gift, didn't hesitate. He thanked her with shining eyes and left first with the package.

Shuying closed the door and waved to Chenyi, who was playing in the yard with a bowl, to come over. Chen Yi ate a tomato one bite at a time. The ripe tomatoes were sour, sweet and juicy, and especially delicious, but a little cold. He ate one himself and stood on tiptoe to feed one into Shuying's mouth, which made her heart soften.

The weather is cold, and eating too much of this will make your stomach cold. Shuying doesn't allow me to eat too much, so Chen Yi asked in a baby voice, "Auntie, can we have white noodles for lunch with that fragrant meat sauce?"

The mushroom meat sauce made by his aunt this morning was so delicious that Gao Yuan ran over to eat it. However, Gao Yuan was taken home by his older brother not long after. The aroma has not yet dissipated in his small yard and is particularly fragrant, making him want to drool.

Shuying held the bowl in one hand and led the child into the kitchen with the other hand. He picked up a spoonful of mushroom meat sauce and let the child taste it first.

When she was making mushroom and meat sauce just now, the child ran to the kitchen frequently. If she hadn't told him that the sauce should be eaten with noodles and that they would have it for lunch, the kid would have been reluctant to leave the kitchen.

Chen Yi took a sip of the mushroom meat sauce. Apart from being a little salty, it tasted really good. Chen Yi's eyes lit up after tasting it.

Chen Yi thought the mushroom meat sauce tasted good. Li Hongqi, on the other hand, stuffed the sauce his sister-in-law gave him to his wife after returning home: "This is the sauce my sister-in-law gave me. She said it's good for cooking and mixing with white noodles!"

After giving the instructions, Li Hongqi went to training.

At first, Li Hongqi's wife really thought it was an ordinary pickled vegetable. When the bottle cap was opened, she picked up a piece with chopsticks to taste it. When she picked up the diced meat, Li Hongqi's wife tasted it and found that it was really meat. She was surprised.

Chen Tuan’s wife actually sent a bottle of meat sauce to her family?

The meat sauce tasted very fragrant. She took a bite of it with chopsticks. The fresh, spicy and spicy flavor exploded on her tongue, which made her appetite grow. She wanted to eat more.

Li Hongqi's wife took several bites of the food with her chopsticks before she stopped eating.

Only now did she realize that Chen Tuan's wife was too generous to her family. Most people would not be willing to give meat sauce. It was no wonder that her husband said that their team leader and his wife were real people and were especially nice to him. He also asked her to visit the team leader's wife more often and help her when she was free.

Before, Li Hongqi's wife took into consideration that Chen Tuan was her husband's leader, and Chen Tuan's wife looked prettier than the girls in the city and had an extraordinary temperament, so she did not dare to get close to Chen Tuan's wife for fear of offending her and worrying that she would not be willing to contact her.

At this moment, Li Hongqi's wife had some intention of getting along with him, and decided to help whenever she could visit.

At noon, Li Hongqi's wife made a simple dish of mixed wild vegetables and stewed tofu. She added a little meat sauce to the tofu as her husband asked, and nothing else. When it was done, she tasted it and found the tofu was very flavorful and the soup was fresh and fragrant, going well with rice.

Li Hongqi's wife was very surprised when she tasted it.

At noon, when Li Hongqi came home from training, I ate the food cooked by his wife. The mixed wild vegetables were no different from usual, but the stewed tofu tasted quite good.

The soup had a hint of mushroom fragrance, and the tofu was also tasty, making it particularly delicious with rice. Li Hongqi was very surprised. He had eaten stewed tofu made by his wife before, but it always had a bean smell and the taste was not tasty enough.

How did his wife make this stewed tofu for lunch today? Why is it so delicious?

This afternoon, Li Hongqi ate one and a half bowls more sweet potato rice than usual. While wolfing down the food, he asked, "This stewed tofu you made is so delicious. How did you make it? How about we make stewed tofu for dinner?"

The tofu is made at home, it’s free. His wife’s family used to sell tofu and they have the skill.

Not only Li Hongqi likes it, but Li Hongqi's wife also likes this stewed tofu which is particularly tasty and a bit spicy, and she also eats an extra bowl of rice at noon.

After lunch, Li Hongqi's wife told her husband that what Chen Tuan's wife sent was not pickled vegetables but mushroom meat sauce, which tasted very good.

So, when she stewed the tofu, she didn’t add anything else but some mushroom and meat sauce, and the taste really surprised her.

In the future, you can add some mushroom meat sauce to other dishes, and the taste will definitely be good.

At this moment, Li Hongqi's wife couldn't help but sigh at Chen Tuan's wife's cooking skills. No wonder her husband kept talking about how great Chen Tuan's wife's cooking skills were?

After tasting the mushroom meat sauce today, she really believed what her man said.

Li Hongqi was also surprised when he heard from his wife that his sister-in-law gave him mushroom meat sauce. He knew very well how expensive meat was. He had a salary as a soldier, but the number of times he and his wife ate meat throughout the year could be counted on one hand.

His sister-in-law generously gave him some meat sauce. Li Hongqi was touched but also regretted accepting it. If he had known that his sister-in-law gave him meat sauce, he would never have accepted it no matter what.

But it would be difficult to return it now that he had received it. Li Hongqi planned to go to help more often when he had time, and asked his wife to talk to his sister-in-law more often when she had time. Although his sister-in-law was very beautiful, she was very humble and was usually very nice to him. Li Hongqi also said that he would send some tofu to his sister-in-law's house later.

Li Hongqi's wife said, "Okay, it just so happens that our tofu was made today, so it's fresh, but I didn't make much."

"It's okay, no matter how much you give, it's all our gift!"

After the Li family had lunch, Li Hongqi's wife took a bowl filled with four large cubes of tofu and went to the Chen family's yard.

In the main hall of the Chen family, Shuying had just taken her children to lunch. She didn't cook anything for lunch. She only made mixed white noodles with mushroom and meat sauce, and a bowl of green vegetables.

The white noodles mixed with mushroom meat sauce tastes very good. The mushroom meat sauce is fresh, fragrant and spicy. When eating the noodles, you can also chew the diced meat that has been stir-fried dry. The diced meat is crispy and fragrant. It is very satisfying to eat two large and one small.

She heard knocks on the door outside the yard. The shadow of the tree allowed the child to eat slowly, so she went to check at the door.

When Shuying saw the tofu brought by Li Hongqi's wife, he was very surprised.

Li Hongqi's wife is a down-to-earth person just like her husband. She is not very old, with a dark face. She is wearing a thick black buttoned cotton jacket. Her facial features are a little delicate. She has a long black braid hanging behind her. She is a little shy.

Li Hongqi's wife first thanked her for sending a can of mushroom meat sauce to her family, and then said, "Sister-in-law, this is the tofu I just made today. It's very fresh. I sent it to you to taste it!"

Shuying had no intention of accepting it, but when she heard Li Hongqi's wife say that the tofu was made by herself, she took her into the house without hesitation and prepared to accept it.

"Sister-in-law, I'll just wait at the door. I won't go in!" Li Hongqi's wife did not enter the house. Shuying saw that Li Hongqi's wife was very shy and lowered her head and did not dare to look at her. She had to go to the kitchen to get the bowl to receive it. She was still very surprised that Li Hongqi's wife brought her the tofu.

There was also tofu at the market, and she had bought some there a few times. However, the journey was a bit far, and every time she came back, she would be bumped along the muddy road, and by the time she got home, the tofu would be broken into pieces.

After pouring the tofu into her own bowl, Shuying helped to shake the bowl before taking it out and returning it to Li Hongqi's wife. She took her gloves and asked her what her name was. She wanted to call her sister, but when she found out that Li Hongqi's wife was two or three years older than her, Shuying had to say, "Hongqi's family, we are both new wives. Come to my house and spend more time when you have time. Your husband and my husband are familiar with each other, and I am a country girl like you. I felt that we were especially destined to be together at first sight. Let's chat more when we have time!"

Shuying also mentioned that since she and her husband came to the military area, her husband has helped them a lot, and asked her not to be polite to her.

Mrs. Chen Tuan spoke in a gentle tone, soft and intimate voice, which made Mrs. Li Hongqi feel warm inside. She was a little embarrassed at first, but now she finally dared to raise her head.

She didn't dare to take a closer look at first, and her first impression was that Chen Tuan's wife was very white, even whiter than when she first came.

Looking closely now, she saw that she was wearing a knee-length black woolen dress, which made her waist look particularly thin and her face particularly white. She had a white scarf wrapped around her slender swan neck. Looking closely, she found that the skin on Chen Tuan's wife's face was whiter than the white scarf around her neck.

Her skin was as white as snow, and her black hair was scattered on her shoulders. One side of her hair was tucked behind her ear, revealing her white earlobe and delicate face. Her temperament was extraordinary.

Li Hongqi's wife was almost stunned. She knew that Chen Tuan's wife was beautiful, but after not seeing her for just a few months, she didn't expect that Chen Tuan's wife could be so beautiful.

No wonder some people say that Chen Tuan’s wife is a witch.

Li Hongqi's wife responded absentmindedly, and Shuying let her go only after seeing her nod.
