Inside the house, Liu Yuzhou and his wife kissed for a while.
Only then did they separate, breathless.
Meng Zhenli came to her senses and remembered that she had to cook.
"Wife, let me help you."
Liu Yuzhou rolled up his sleeves and was about to pick up the vegetables on the ground.
Meng Zhen looked at the time and saw that there was still more than an hour before work was over.
There was still a gleam in her eyes as she said delicately, "Captain Liu, it's not okay to lead the way in leaving early."
The man chuckled softly at her words "Captain Liu".
There was a hint of smile in the narrow eyes.
I still explained to her: "Wife, I don't have to go to the scene every day."
"But you have to go today, otherwise people will think I need your help in cooking."
Well, Meng Zhen accidentally blurted out what was in his heart.
The little hands covered the mouth tightly.
Liu Yuzhou is such a smart man that he immediately understood why his wife insisted on cooking today.
He doesn't like to get involved in the trivial matters of his employees' families, but that doesn't mean he doesn't understand.
In the closed environment of a geological team, family members have little entertainment and naturally focus most of their energy on meddling in other people's affairs.
Once the project is on track, he will apply to his superiors for a job transfer.
I go back to the city most of the time and occasionally go down to the site for investigation.
Now that his wife wants to take action to respond to the outside criticism, Liu Yuzhou naturally will not stop her.
He put on his work clothes and returned to the dam.
The round trip took only half an hour.
Meng Zhen is at home.
Wash and cut all the vegetables for the week, then put them into sealed bags and put them in the refrigerator.
At noon today, she plans to make a hot pot of taro chicken, stir-fried rapeseed, and tomato and egg soup.
Cook the rice first, then start preparing the side dishes.
I bought taro from the villagers this morning. It is small but very sticky.
Peel and cut into pieces, place on a plate and set aside.
Next is to take care of the native chickens.
Generally, when making taro chicken, people try to choose chicken thighs, as the meat is tender and tasty.
But what Meng Zhen bought today was a free-range chicken, which is a free-range chicken raised in rural areas in later generations and has firm meat.
First, scrub the chicken clean with a loofah, then remove the chicken fat, and clean the lungs and blood clots.
Chop the chicken into small pieces and rinse it several times with running water.
Add water, onion, ginger, cooking wine, peppercorns, etc. to the pot, blanch the chicken pieces and drain.
Then start adding oil and hot pot base to stir-fry the chicken pieces.
After frying, put it directly into the pressure cooker, cook for fifteen minutes, and then add the taro.
Transfer it to an iron pot and simmer for half an hour, sprinkle with celery and coriander and you can serve!
The chicken skin is sticky and the meat inside has the aroma of hot pot when you take a bite.
The taro is soft and sticky and melts when you poke it.
A bite of chicken and a bite of taro, it’s so satisfying!
Stir-fried rapeseed and tomato and egg soup are both quick dishes.
Meng Zhen started to prepare these two dishes when Liu Yuzhou got off work.
First, stir-fry the rapeseed.
Heat the iron pan, add oil, add a few crushed garlic cloves, and then add rapeseed.
Stir-fry over high heat until cooked, sprinkle two small spoons of soy sauce and stir-fry for a while, then you can serve.
The rapeseed is green and juicy, with a fresh and tender texture, and a hint of garlic, which is light and delicious.
Not to mention classic dishes like tomato and egg soup, which is easy to prepare, sweet and sour, and delicious, and is the best way to relieve greasiness.
When it's time to get off work, employees can smell the tempting spicy aroma when passing by Captain Liu's kitchen.
I was so greedy that saliva immediately started to form in my mouth.
The people in Donglin prefer spicy food, and many of the team members are not locals and cannot get used to spicy food.
Meng Zhen uses authentic hot pot base to make hot pot taro chicken, which is prepared with master-level techniques.
This kind of spiciness is not dry, but fragrant, and it stimulates the taste buds just by smelling it.
Of course, the spiciness is just right.
Some workers who had been doing heavy physical work in the morning smelled this smell and wanted to eat three bowls of rice in a row.
Some people have begun to wonder: "What kind of dish did Captain Liu's wife cook? Why does it smell so good?"
"I saw her buy chicken this morning. I think she made fried chicken nuggets."
"Tsk tsk, judging by the smell, Xiao Meng's cooking skills are pretty good, right?"
"Yeah, it turns out they can cook."
Of course, some people were disdainful: "Their kitchen has just started cooking. How long can this young girl last? We'll have to wait and see. She'll have to come to the cafeteria another day."
"That's right, I just want to try something new. Little Meng is too delicate to stay in the kitchen."
"Yes, she's so delicate, and you can tell at a glance that she's not cut out to cook."
After Liu Yuzhou arrived home, Meng Zhen handed him two lunch boxes:
"I've also prepared one for my third brother. Please send it to his dormitory first."
"Okay." The man went out again with the lunch box.
Liu Yuzhou did not arrange for Zhang Qing to live at his home, but in the dormitory.
Meng Zhen naturally didn't dare to bring up this matter.
After all, it's quite comfortable for two people to be at home, and it's really inconvenient to have more people.
Men are very jealous. Last time she said a few more words to Zhang Qing, she was held down and loved several times when she got home.
And that time with Qi Yang.
Many times of being on the edge of danger made her realize that she had to keep her distance from the opposite sex in the future.
Liu Yuzhou came back quickly.
Meng Zhen had already set the table and was ready to eat when he got home.
The man picked up a piece of chicken. The spicy chicken and the soft and glutinous taro whetted his appetite.
"Wife, this tastes so special."
He couldn't even tell what seasonings were in the dish.
And this dish is even better with rice.
The rice grains in the bowl are crystal clear and have a glutinous texture, unlike the local rice.
My daughter-in-law has too many secrets.
But he no longer cares about it. One day, his wife will be willing to tell him.
Spicy dishes are heavy in taste, so you need to stir-fry rapeseed to neutralize it, and tomato and egg soup to relieve the greasiness.
Liu Yuzhou finished two large bowls of rice.
Looking back at my wife, there was still half a bowl of rice left.
Meng Zhen took a few bites of the dishes and drank a small bowl of soup, and his stomach was already about 80% full.
The man naturally pushed the remaining rice in the bowl into his own bowl.
Eaten them all.
If someone familiar with Liu Yuzhou were here at this moment, they would be amazed again.
It's strange that the young master eats other people's leftovers!
After dinner, Meng Zhen walked around the small courtyard to help digest the food.
Liu Yuzhou began to clear the table and wash the dishes.
There is no air conditioning in the kitchen in summer, so I opened half of the window.
The employees and their families who passed by saw their dignified and stern Captain Liu washing dishes in the kitchen with his sleeves rolled up.
Tsk tsk.
The family members thought of their husband who would just collapse on a chair after dinner and do nothing, not to mention washing dishes. He was even too lazy to pick up the broom when it fell over.
I immediately felt sour in my heart.
The more I thought about it when I got home, the worse I felt.
She finds nothing about her man irritating.
Naturally, there was no good look on his face.
I am not allowed to be touched or touched at night when I sleep.
And the rough guys don't know how they have offended their wives.
I got scolded for no apparent reason.
The last two dishes are quick dishes. Just crush the garlic and chop some green onions and they are ready.
