Haonan was out for over an hour before returning, carrying a large oil-paper bag with the smell of oil soaking through it. The oil paper was sometimes darker and sometimes lighter, which showed how much meat and vegetables he had bought to make it so greasy.
"Comrade Zhong, we've bought some ribs, all good ones. When I chose them, they cut them into ribs, not the spine."
Zhong Yuxiu didn't bother to read anymore. She threw the book aside and walked over briskly to take the spareribs and weigh them. "This weighs ten pounds, right?"
"Jiujin, buy all the spare ribs from this shop." Haonan nodded with a smile. "You don't know, I was a little late when I got there, and it took a lot of effort to find this shop. They butcher a lot of pigs, and they're selling five pigs today. Business is booming. If I weren't a soldier, I would also sell meat and make a lot of money in a day."
The meat is valuable and can be sold at a good price.
"If you want to be ambitious, buying pigs, killing pigs and selling pigs are all physical work. Why don't you think about working hard and strive for a few promotions. When you are old, you can get a pension. Isn't it better than selling meat, which is hard and tiring?" It seems that you can make a lot of money now, but you can't sell meat for the rest of your life.
Haonan didn't care much and said with a smile, "Thanks to you, Comrade Tian and I are now both captains. As long as we don't retire, we will definitely have a pension when we get old."
"You can't work here forever. You will have to go to other units in the future." As long as someone is promoted, it is not difficult for the guards to move up in the company. The key depends on their respective abilities.
Even if the higher-ups are willing to promote someone, it also depends on whether the person being promoted has the ability to bear the burden.
So, if some people always complain about why others don’t promote them, it’s time for them to think about themselves.
"We'll talk about it when the time comes. It's not easy for people like us who have no education and no family background to make a name for ourselves in the army." Haonan didn't think so far ahead. He just wanted to do well in the present.
Zhong Yuxiu didn't say anything. His idea was not wrong. In the past two years, many people have been rehabilitated; there are even more children from wealthy families. Because they have suffered, they know that a good life is hard-earned. Children from poor families will fight, and they will also fight, and their fight is more likely to succeed.
"Comrade Zhong, I'll take the food to the kitchen and have Goudan make it for you."
Zhong Yuxiu followed behind Haonan and smelled the aroma of food coming from the kitchen. She took a few quick steps to the door.
"Fish-flavored shredded pork, Goudan made fish-flavored shredded pork, right?"
"Yes, Comrade Zhong." Tian Shangguo nodded with a smile. "Goudan knows your taste has changed a lot, so he made hot and sour food specially for you."
"That's great! Shredded pork with fish-flavor sauce goes really well with rice." Zhong Yuxiu strolled into the kitchen and saw Goudan personally serving the shredded pork with fish-flavor sauce. She smiled, "It smells so good! We have some good food to go with rice today, and we even have spare ribs."
happiness.
Being able to eat what you want is happiness.
Haonan chuckled and handed the spareribs to Goudan before speaking, "Comrade Zhong, you weren't this greedy before. Your gluttony has become even worse since you got pregnant."
"That's what we can do." Zhong Yuxiu was very calm about this. If you want to eat, you have to eat it, otherwise you will feel uncomfortable. "When you are pregnant, your taste buds will change, and so will your sense of smell and taste. You will pay close attention to food and be prone to cravings. It's normal."
Tian Shangguo shook his head and laughed, but said nothing.
Haonan said to her, "Only Comrade Yan can afford to support you."
"You're making fun of me." Zhong Yuxiu wrinkled her nose slightly, then laughed to herself. Her expenses were not small; clothes, shoes, food and drink cost a lot every month. "I can support myself with my own salary."
Tian Shangguo lowered his head and grinned, which was a rare occurrence for him; Haonan laughed heartily without any scruples, more relaxed than Tian Shangguo.
"Comrade Zhong, you have a high salary, and you have several salaries. We can not only support you, but also ten more of you." She has a share of the salary from Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Medical University, and the First Hospital in the West City. If she has research results and sells them, she will get dividends.
From the beginning, they could roughly guess her family background, but until now, they dared not imagine how rich Comrade Zhong's family background is now.
Capable people make a living with their brains.
While chatting and laughing in the kitchen, Goudan had already washed the ribs and marinated one portion with salt, wine, salt, pepper, ginger and garlic; the other portion was to be made into sweet and sour ribs, which did not need to be marinated.
Put the ribs into the pot and boil them with ginger slices to remove the foam from the ribs; then take out the ribs and use hot water to clean the foam on the ribs, and then start cooking the ribs.
Put star anise and green onions into the pot one by one, and when all the ingredients are added, the aroma will waft over.
Zhong Yuxiu's mouth was watering silently, and her lips were moving frequently, as if she wanted to eat.
The sweet and sour pork ribs came out of the pot, and Goudan first scooped out a small bowl for her. Zhong Yuxiu held the small bowl and smiled at the other two, saying, "Would you like to try some?"
"We don't want to eat, Comrade Zhong. You eat it and don't worry about us." Tian Shangguo shook his head and declined.
Haonan said with a smile, "You go eat outside. Goudan is going to make braised potatoes and pork ribs. When the aroma comes out, you should be drooling again."
"Tsk." Zhong Yuxiu was not annoyed after being exposed. She took the chopsticks and walked out of the kitchen with a small bowl. She sat down on the sofa and slowly tasted the sweet and sour pork ribs. It was sweet, the meat was not tough, and it was very fragrant. The bones fell off with a light bite. It was delicious no matter how you ate it.
Tian Shangguo said in the kitchen, "Comrade Zhong, do you not vomit when you eat meat now? Before, you would have a physiological reaction when you saw meat."
"It should be better. After all, I haven't eaten meat properly for several months. If I eat it more often, it won't be like this again. The psychological trauma needs to be overcome." Thinking of Zhong Yuxiu now, Haonan couldn't help laughing, "Comrade Zhong feels much more lively now..."
In the past, Zhong Yuxiu often had a stern face and looked very imposing, but she lacked the vitality that was typical of her age.
"Don't say these things outside, it's enough for us to know them." Tian Shangguo interrupted him before he finished speaking.
"I know." Haonan nodded and stopped talking. "I've seen many pregnant women gain weight easily, but how come our Comrade Zhong hasn't gained much weight? She just has a little more fat on her face than before, but it's not noticeable."
It is a little rounder, and you can only see it if you look closely.
Tian Shangguo glanced at him and said, "Comrade Zhong is a doctor and knows how to take care of yourself with diet. Haven't you noticed that women who are too fat are more likely to have difficult labors?"
"Really? I didn't notice." This reason is very serious and justified.
How could a grown man like him care about a pregnant woman? He only showed some concern to protect Comrade Zhong.
"Comrade Zhong, this is great. A third child is not easy to deliver." If the baby in her belly gets fatter, it might make it even harder. "Go check on Comrade Zhong to see if she's finished eating. If she has, give her some snacks. She gets hungry easily."
Haonan nodded, turned and walked out of the kitchen and into the hall, "Comrade Zhong, are you finished eating?"
"After eating, please wash the bowl." After a while, I no longer drool at the smell of food.
