Chapter 135: Chu Dachu is in power, salted vegetables with sugar

Chu Sangning went over and took out the sausage and vegetables he had prepared from the package, wanting to show off his skills in front of everyone.

The moment the sausage was taken out, it was no exaggeration to say that several ladies stared at the sausage and could not even walk.

An old lady swallowed her saliva, thinking that Chu Sangning didn't know the rules, so she quickly snatched the sausage from Chu Sangning's hand and stuffed it back into the package.

"My lady, our army has its own dishes. We just need to cook according to them every day. These are such a waste."

The whole package was filled with sausages. The woman smacked her lips with some emotion.

"Auntie, since I've brought it here, it must be for everyone to eat, so please help me light the fire."

Chu Sangning saw from the corner of his eye that the unyielding old man next door had already started cutting cabbage. He suddenly felt pain in his cheeks and his stomach was full of cabbage.

She held a kitchen knife. The two women behind her usually made fire. Today, they became active when they saw the sausage. They jumped up and down, "Chu Zhiqing, do you need anything else? I'll go find it for you."

"Auntie, just call me Sang Ning. I want a dozen potatoes. And if you have green peppers, give me some."

While Chu Sangning was talking, a dish from the old man next door was already out of the pot. It was stir-fried cabbage with chili peppers. Everything was fried in the pot until soft and then served directly out.

This was the first time Chu Sangning saw the big pot in the army canteen. It was much bigger than the pot in the Jiang family in Changxing Village.

The washed potatoes were sliced, and the sausage was also sliced. Although there were no green peppers, Chu Sangning did find a bunch of dried red peppers. He didn't pick and choose, and continued to wash and slice them.

Bring the water to a boil over high heat and put the sliced ​​potatoes directly into the pot. Chu Sangning used a spoon to stir the potatoes back and forth. Several middle-aged women saw what she did.

They looked at each other and pointed out hesitantly, "Sang Ning, we all eat boiled potatoes, and these sliced ​​potatoes need to be fried."

They didn't know how to eat it and thought it was the same as the stir-fried cabbage and chili next to it, something that could be cooked in one pot.

Chu Sangning didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Auntie, it's not boiled, it's going to be fried later."

The old man next to her was already finishing his second dish. Looking at the potato chips in Chu Sangning's pot, he snorted and advised her sincerely, "Little girl, the kitchen is not a place for you to stay. Everyone will have to come to the kitchen to eat after the training is over."

Chu Sangning is the head of the group's niece, and also a lady who doesn't do any housework. The old man thought that he would have to cook two more dishes later, otherwise, no one would have anything to eat.

After the old man finished speaking, Chu Sangning did not argue with him. Whether it tastes good or not is up to everyone to decide, and it has just begun.

Cook the potato slices and drain them out of the cool water. Then pour oil into the pan and add the basil. Fry until both sides are golden brown. When the aroma is almost released, add the chili peppers.

After simmering the lid for five minutes, pour in the potatoes and continue stir-frying. In order to make the dish taste better, Chu Sangning also added two spoons of soy sauce and half a spoon of sugar.

The moment they saw the sugar, they were filled with despair and couldn't imagine how bad the meal would taste.

The ladies looked at each other in silence. If they had known earlier, they should not have accepted Chu Sangning's melon seeds and milk candies. Now, they found out that she had ruined the precious sausage.

Since she is the group leader's niece, the cooks couldn't say anything. They just sighed silently and thought about how to change the taste later.

When they opened the lid of the pot, the taste was not what they expected at all. Chu Sangning stir-fried it a few more times and looked at several pairs of bright and curious eyes.

She asked hesitantly, "Auntie, does anyone among you want to taste it first?"

Everyone wanted to try it. The sweetness of the bacon and the softness of the potato chips were simply too delicious. Several aunties praised it highly.

"Sang Ning, your cooking is really delicious. Oh, how do you cook this? This is the first time I've eaten salty food with sugar in it."

Sugar is actually used to enhance the flavor, but most people don’t add sugar because they think the taste is weird. Chu Sangning just gave it a try and didn’t expect it to be successful at once.

The old man who was cooking nearby was preparing the last egg custard. Looking at the noisy and bustling scene next to him, he couldn't bring himself to taste it, so he forced himself to look away and continue cooking.

As for the greens, Chu Sangning wanted to stir-fry them with mushrooms, but there were no mushrooms in the army cafeteria. After thinking it over, she decided it would be a bit perfunctory to just stir-fry the greens.

Asked: "Auntie, shall we have soup at noon?"

"I don't have time to do it. I just drink water."

Chu Sangning went to the back kitchen where things were kept and took a look around. She found a basket covered with a white towel. She opened it and found that it was tofu.

But the shredding is a bit too great, it has turned directly from tofu into tofu cubes.

"Auntie, are these tofu useful? If not, I'll make some vegetable and tofu soup."

Knowing that the tofu was useless, Chu Sangning washed the green vegetables and cut them into pieces, heated oil in a pan, and when the oil was hot, poured the tofu in and fried it.

The old man's hands were shaking when he saw Chu Sangning wasting oil like this. If she continued to eat like this, the oil in the cafeteria would be gone within two months.

Chu Sangning had no idea that the old man next to him wanted to come up and snatch his shovel out of pity. After the tofu was fried, he poured in clean water and brought it to a boil over high heat.

After the pot starts to boil, pour in the chopped vegetables on the plate, add a little salt and MSG, and soon everyone in the kitchen can smell a fragrant aroma.

Chu Sangning also completely won over the ladies in the kitchen with one dish and one soup. Even the old chef didn't say anything and just sat aside in a sullen mood after the meal.

He has been cooking for decades, and these women have never been so happy. The girl is just a dish, but they are so excited that they are screaming.

Chu Sangning was about to step forward and say something when a few women held his arm and whispered, "It's okay. He just thinks you're doing better than him and he's unhappy."

"I've been here for several years. I have to eat cabbage and potatoes every week. Fortunately, Sang Ning came, otherwise, I would have turned into a cabbage."

Just as they finished, the army's training bell rang. Two minutes later, Chu Sangning felt the ground shaking. She thought it was an earthquake, but the woman next to her comforted her, "No, it was someone who ran in from outside."

Chu Sangning stuck his head out and saw a group of people running towards him like locusts passing through a land, each holding a rice bowl.

After entering the army canteen, we started lining up to get food. The moment we stepped into the canteen, everyone smelled the food and asked the old man excitedly, "Has the food changed today?"

They had long been tired of eating Chinese cabbage, so after training, all food tasted delicious. Today's food was a little different from usual, as it was spicy yet sweet. Everyone craned their heads to look at the old man curiously.
