Chapter 352: Captain Liang and Pig’s Trotters (2)

The next day was Dragon Boat Festival.

The military district had a day off.

Although we still have classes at school, they are organized for activities rather than daily classes, and they only last half a day. In the afternoon, we finish school and go home to our own mothers.

So Jiang Rou prepared not lunch boxes but rice dumplings and tea eggs for the two children.

The rice dumplings were placed in a net bag, filling the whole bag.

"Xiaochuan, remember to share the rice dumplings with your classmates, Teacher Yang, and your friends. Share them all. Don't bring them back. We still have some at home."

Jiang Rou reminded.

She took out the tea eggs again.

Some of the tea leaf eggs were placed in bags, and the rest were hung up one by one in a net bag.

The net bag is made of colorful ropes woven and knotted, like a fishing net, and is just the right size to catch eggs.

There is a separate rope on top that can be hung around the neck.

Below are all the ropes tied into a knot, forming swaying ears.

Colorful and very beautiful.

The colorful nets were made by Jiang Rou last night.

She hadn't done this for a long time and forgot the specific steps for a while. It took her several attempts before she remembered them.

Once I remembered it, it became easy to do.

Jiang Rou hung the net bag around Zhou Xiaochuan's neck and took out the second one.

As soon as Zhou Xiaohua saw the colorful ropes, she stared at them with sparkling eyes and had already begun to look forward to it.

He didn't even eat the rice dumpling in his hand, but stretched his neck and waited.

Jiang Rou hung up for her.

"This is Xiaohua's. Isn't it beautiful?"

Zhou Xiaohua nodded vigorously.

She touched the colorful net bag. Not only was it beautiful, but it could also hold eggs. They smelled so good. It was great!

This morning.

It was Jiang Rou who sent Zhou Xiaochuan and Zhou Xiaohua to school, and did not let Zhou Chongshan go with them.

Because Jiang Rou gave him a special task.

A heavy portion of soybean and pork trotter soup.

Two whole pig's trotters were cut into pieces of appropriate size, blanched, and simmered on low heat for four or five hours.

The pig's trotter is milky white, soft and chewy.

The sebum part can be cut off by gently pinching it with chopsticks.

The transparent muscle part has a slight chewy texture.

After a long period of stewing, the rich collagen in the pig's trotters has been completely burned into the soup.

The soup is milky white with soft soybeans mixed in it.

It's mellow and clear, and doesn't taste greasy at all.

After all, Jiang Rou added a lot of ginger and peppercorns to season the soup when it was stewing, ensuring the soup had a refreshing taste.

"Chongshan, I have prepared the pig's trotters for Captain Liang. You can give them to him. Remember, you must hand them over to Captain Liang personally."

Zhou Chongshan frowned slightly.

Hand it over to Captain Liang personally?

When Liang Guangming said this yesterday, he clearly said to just give it to Lin Yulan. Anyway, this soybean and pig trotter soup was originally meant for Lin Yulan to nourish her body.

A rough guy can't tell the difference.

Jiang Rou said.

"Anyway, don't worry about anything else, just listen to me. If you go knock on the door, it will definitely be Captain Liang who opens the door. Just leave it to Captain Liang and don't worry about anything else."

"OK."

Zhou Chongshan nodded in agreement.

Anyway, I'll just listen to my wife in everything, it won't be wrong.

Just like that, the couple went their separate ways.

…

"Why you?"

Liang Guangming opened the door, and when he saw Zhou Chongshan, he showed a little surprise.

But he reacted quickly and his emotions were fleeting.

Zhou Chongshan said directly, "It's heavy, it's more convenient for me to take it."

Talking.

He handed the heavy pot of soybean and pork trotter soup to Liang Guangming.

In addition, there are also rice dumplings.

"These are zongzi, also made by my wife. The ones with white strings are alkaline water zongzi, and the ones with red strings are salted egg yolk and meat zongzi. They are already cooked and can be eaten after opening them."

Zhou Chongshan relayed Jiang Rou's instructions to Liang Guangming in detail.

I also handed him the heavy rice dumplings.

Liang Guangming felt the power in his hand, and it was indeed heavy enough. No wonder Zhou Chongshan had to send it over.

He didn't think much about it, so he had no idea what Jiang Rou was thinking.

"I'm sorry to bother Comrade Jiang this time. Please say thank you to her for me."

Liang Guangming thanks you.

Then the two chatted about seeing each other in the barracks tomorrow and ended the conversation.

After Zhou Chongshan left.

Liang Guangming held the soybean and pig's trotter soup and did not go back to the house immediately. Instead, he opened the soybean and pig's trotter soup first.

Look and smell.

He lowered his head to examine it, just as seriously as when he was reading a military report.

Looking at the crystal clear soup and smelling the aroma that had no fishy smell, the weight hanging in my heart was put down.

This soup is really great!

It’s not that Liang Guangming didn’t believe Jiang Rou, but he would feel more at ease if he checked it with his own eyes.

After all, it is for Lin Yulan to eat.

Lin Yulan was also in the house. She heard the knocking on the door and the noise outside.

But because it was Zhou Chongshan's voice, I thought the two men were discussing business during their vacation.

So she avoided them so that they wouldn't have to talk inconveniently.

When Liang Guangming entered the room, he was holding so many things in his hands.

She was stunned instead.

"What is this? Why are there so many? There are even rice dumplings?"

"It was given by Zhou Chongshan and Comrade Jiang."

Liang Guangming answered simply and did not mention much.

He placed the food on the round table inside the house.

"A gift? That's too much."

Lin Yulan walked forward, looked at the rice dumplings, opened the lid, and saw a pot full of milky white soybean and pork trotter soup.

This was surprising.

Lin Yulan looked up at Liang Guangming and asked, "Is this also a gift?"

Liang Guangming remained silent and said nothing.

Lin Yulan has already continued speaking.

"No, you can't accept this. Normally, small gifts like wild vegetables and fruits are fine, but this pig's trotter is hard to come by. Sister Rou gave her everything she had. You must not accept it. You have to send it back."

She shook her head and put the lid back on.

At this moment, Lin Yulan didn't even think about the strangeness of it.

If it was really the soybean pig trotter soup sent by Jiang Rou, given Liang Guangming's personality, how could he accept it so easily?

These are two whole pig's trotters.

Lin Yulan muttered in a low voice, "Sister Rou is really something. She doesn't even know how to eat such delicious food herself. It's ok to let the children eat it, but why did she send it away? I'll send it back quickly so they can eat it at noon."

Talking.

Lin Yulan reached out for the soybean pig trotter soup and was about to go out.

A large hand grasped her wrist.

Stopped Lin Yulan's action.

"Yulan, you don't have to give it back."

Liang Guangming had no choice but to speak out.

Because he vaguely realized that if he didn't say it, Lin Yulan would never think that this pot of soybean and pork trotter soup was prepared by him for her.

It was the same last night.

Every household in the compound was discussing the division of the pork. Each family would always say what part of the pork they had chosen and what delicious food they were going to make.

But Lin Yulan didn't seem to care at all.

She didn't care about dividing the pork, nor did she care why he came back empty-handed.

He didn't even ask a question.

Do you really not care?
