"Zhenzhen, how can you cook if you can't even light a fire?" Wang Jun laughed at her.
Bai Ruozhen smiled and said, "It's good that I can cook. You guys can light the fire."
Everyone burst into laughter and thought Bai Ruozhen was really cute.
"Then let me check if you're picking the right ones." Li Aihong said as she quickly walked over to Bai Ruozhen. She looked inside and exclaimed, "Why are you only picking shepherd's purse?"
Bai Ruozhen blinked and said innocently, "Isn't it just picking shepherd's purse?" Did he say picking anything else?
Li Aihong brought her basket closer to her and pointed at the several types of grass inside. "These all need to be pulled out, except for the wheat seedlings." As she spoke, she saw Bai Ruozhen smacking his lips and smiled, pointing to one of the grasses and saying, "This is rabbit ear grass, this one is edible too."
"It's edible." Bai Ruozhen was drooling at the handful of rabbit ear grass in the basket.
Li Aihong said, "Go back and pull out all the ones that were there before moving on."
Bai Ruozhen thought she had walked a long way, but when she looked back, she realized she had only walked five meters. The others had occupied several times more ridges than she had and were running much faster than her. Bai Ruozhen sighed, her confidence suddenly waning.
It's so depressing.
However, although Bai Ruozhen's hands hurt from pulling weeds, at least he had food to keep him busy, so he did a good job in the morning.
During the break, the educated youth separated the edible wild vegetables and weeds and classified them into different categories. Then Bai Ruozhen carefully asked about how to cook the wild vegetables.
At the end, I said, “I understand. I’ll make it for you at noon.”
Li Aihong and the others looked at each other, obviously not quite believing it.
After work at noon, several people went back to collect wild vegetables, washing shepherd's purse and rabbit ears.
Bai Ruozhen washed his hands and took the cleaned shepherd's purse and rabbit ears, "Leave it to me."
Zhu Guixia didn't want to let go, fearing that Bai Ruozhen's cooking would not taste good. Bai Ruozhen said pitifully, "Sister Xia, don't you believe me?"
Zhu Guixia really wanted to say that she really didn't believe you, but seeing her little eyes, she let go and even comforted herself in her heart, it was just a meal, she had a stomachache, so she could rest in the afternoon.
Then Bai Ruozhen happily ran to the kitchen with the things.
Shepherd's purse is fried and eaten, while rabbit ears are eaten cold. Both dishes must be cooked well.
Zhu Guixia and the others were worried that Bai Ruozhen might cut his hand, so they stood in the kitchen on high alert, ready to end everything. Then, under everyone's gaze, Bai Ruozhen smiled shyly and picked up the kitchen knife.
The kitchen knife was picked up, and their hearts were also lifted.
Bai Ruozhen was seen holding a kitchen knife in his left hand, which he quickly lowered and then raised quickly. With each movement of the knife, the shepherd's purse was cut into neat pieces.
This action scared Li Aihong and the others. They never expected that a little girl who couldn't even light a fire or do anything else well could actually cook. Just looking at the way she cut vegetables, she was much better than them.
Although it was scary to see her holding a knife in her left hand, the agility she showed was something they didn't have.
Bai Ruozhen put the chopped shepherd's purse into the basin and muttered, "It would be even better if there were eggs."
Unfortunately, there were no chickens at the youth cadre site, so there were no eggs, not even chicken feathers.
But just stir-frying it like this seemed good too. Bai Ruozhen said to Zhu Guixia, "Sister Xia, light the fire."
"Oh, okay." Zhu Guixia came back to her senses from her shock and hurried to light the fire.
Bai Ruozhen wiped the water in the pot with loofah, and when the pot was dry, he put a spoonful of lard in it. When the lard melted and made a sizzling sound, he tore some chopped green onions and threw them in. Then he poured the shepherd's purse into the pot and stir-fried it.
Li Aihong looked at it and thought that the order was correct, but she didn't know how it would taste.
However, shepherd's purse is easy to cook, and soon the shepherd's purse in the pot exudes an attractive aroma.
Feng Qiujuan sniffed, "What a nice smell."
Li Aihong and Wang Jun were also surprised. They had done the same thing before, with the same sequence, but it was never so fragrant. They even put more lard than Bai Ruozhen. Could it be that God had given her a special ability?
After frying for a while, Bai Ruozhen smelled the food and said, "It's cooked. You can put it on the plate."
As he said this, he put down the spoon and went back to making the cold-mixed rabbit ears.
Bai Ruozhen had never seen these two things before, so he made them according to the order and experience taught by Li Aihong. He washed the rabbit ears, put them in a basin, poured some sesame oil, sprinkled some chopped green onions, and even poured a little vinegar and salt to complete the process.
Several people were thinking about different things. They were carrying their rice bowls and preparing to go into the house to eat. Others who were still in the yard came over after smelling the aroma and said, "Hey, how did you cook it? Why does it smell so good?"
Li Aihong raised her eyebrows proudly, "Our Chef Bai made it."
"Chef Bai?" Wei Nan looked over and pointed at Bai Ruozhen with a smile, "Are you saying Zhenzhen doesn't look like someone who can cook?"
She can’t light a fire, can only do laundry, can’t sew insoles, and is slow at farm work. How can she cook?
Bai Ruozhen smiled and said, "Sister Nannan, I only know how to cook. I don't even know how to wash vegetables or light a fire."
Everyone else laughed, and Wei Nan's eyes rolled. "Zhenzhen, is Sister Nannan good to you?"
Bai Ruozhen nodded, "Okay."
Wei Nan said with a grin, "How about you fry some for us too?"
Bai Ruozhen glanced at Zhao Lai Di, whose eyes were almost popping out, and said in embarrassment, "I'm afraid Sister Lai Di will be angry if I fire her."
Wei Nan was stunned and looked at Zhao Lai Di. Zhao Lai Di forgot to retract her ferocious expression and smiled sarcastically, "Some people just can't stand seeing others doing well."
