Agar-agar is used to make fruit juice candy, and it is also produced in the sea.
This thing can not only be boiled into juice to make sugar, but can also be used as a coagulant for coconut milk cakes and various small desserts.
In addition, it is also a delicious dish in itself, and it is very refreshing if it is served cold.
Yin Xiaoman thought that he could give this thing a try. If he told Lichun about its various uses, the girl would probably like it.
Most importantly, this agar is really good.
Because for the kitchen team, this, like kelp and seaweed, is one of the most commonly used dishes in daily life, so when they see it, they will pick it up, dry it and store it.
Not to mention warehouses, now she even has many small storage rooms in her home.
When exchanging things with Lichun, Yin Xiaoman always adhered to one principle, which was to only exchange things produced in the sea with her.
Therefore, although Zhongshan Island has many specialties, including the fruits on the mountain, some wild pigeon eggs, sea duck eggs, and even the most common macaroni in the vegetable fields and the wild mint growing on the roadside slopes...
These were rare items in the palace, but she had never considered exchanging them.
Although the term species erosion did not exist in Yin Xiaoman's time, she couldn't understand these things. But subconsciously, she always felt that she couldn't take things that didn't exist in that era.
There are many unknowns in the sea, you catch this today and that tomorrow. What's more, the sea is so vast, no one can tell what is in it.
So no matter what she took over, everyone who saw it would only have one feeling - it was fished out of the sea.
As for how and where it was fished out, no one would think about it in detail. There's no point in thinking about it. Whether you can get it next time depends on God's will.
You can just find any excuse to get away with it.
But it’s hard to say about those that grow in the soil or on the mountains.
If something really catches the eye of a noble person and he asks Lichun to find the tree back... wouldn't that be harming his own little apprentice?
Yin Xiaoman took out the agar-agar and soaked it a little more, then took out the small kumquats that Da Mi and the others had found from the space, chopped them up and squeezed the juice, then made kumquat cake.
In fact, if you want the taste to be more outstanding and more eye-catching, of course making coconut milk cake is the most suitable.
But for the same reason, she couldn't be sure whether there were coconut trees in the world she once lived in?
At least she had never seen any trees like it while she was there.
Just in case, I chose kumquats.
Actually, she had never seen a kumquat before, but fortunately it was broken into pieces. Lichun should treat it as an ordinary tangerine, right?
While the children were taking a nap and the man had been very busy these days and did not come back at noon, Yin Xiaoman entered the space again.
She placed the braised abalone and kumquat cake on fine porcelain plates from the imperial kitchen and put them in the cupboard.
At the same time, fresh abalone and dried agar-agar were also added.
Finally, she picked up the white paper that Lichun had placed on the table and wrote down in detail the methods of making the two things, including how to soak agar-agar.
It is also pointed out that this thing can not only be used as a coagulant, but is also a delicious ingredient in itself. Let Lichun try to make it according to his own recipe.
While writing, Yin Xiaoman seemed to have forgotten his current identity and once again regarded himself as the strict teacher he once was, writing a lot of rambling.
By the time she discovered something was wrong, it was almost time for the imperial kitchen to start work in the afternoon, and it was too late to change it.
In desperation, she had to put the densely written paper into the cabinet.
The fairy hasn't come for several days.
I was a little worried at the beginning of spring, but then I thought about it and felt relieved.
Fairies are gods in heaven, and they must have a lot of things to do, and they are here to save all living beings.
Where would one have enough free time to deal with a mortal like me every week?
Thinking about the disaster relief supplies the fairy asked her to prepare, Lichun felt heavy in her heart.
I always feel that the fairy must have used her predictive ability to discover where famine was about to occur, and used these things to save people.
After all, even if they are gods, when they want to show favor, they can't just take things from heaven and give them to mortals to eat, right?
So she immediately felt that the burden on her shoulders had become heavier.
Although the fairy has been saying that she wants to exchange seafood for disaster relief food, Lichun would not be stupid enough to do exactly as she asked.
As a mortal chosen by the immortal and assigned to complete a task, she also wanted to do her part to accumulate some merit for her future life.
Therefore, during this period of time, Lichun has been asking Old Li to secretly help buy food. It’s just that the quantity is much more than what the fairy required.
That afternoon, Lichun came to the imperial kitchen earlier than anyone else, just like usual.
As soon as I opened the door of the small house, a rich aroma of meat hit my nose.
She sniffed hard, and then her eyes fell on the mysterious cabinet.
Lichun immediately locked the door from the inside and walked quickly to the cabinet.
Even though I was mentally prepared, my eyes still flickered when I opened the cupboard door and saw the bowl of steaming braised abalone and pork.
She never thought that the fairy would give her a bowl of meat today? !
Could this be a divine product from heaven?
Is the fairy... taking the delicacies from the Heavenly Palace and giving them to her to eat?
Lichun's heart suddenly started beating wildly. She bit her lips tightly, afraid that she would lose control and scream out.
She took the bowl of meat from the cabinet with trembling hands, and was immediately attracted by the abalone with cuts on it.
What is this? Why does it look so delicate and attractive?
She took a deep breath, and was immediately lured away by the rich aroma.
She didn't even bother to go out and get a pair of chopsticks. She just reached out, picked up a piece and put it in her mouth.
For a moment, Lichun suddenly held his breath and was completely stunned!
After a while, she finally let out a long sigh, but at the same time, tears flowed uncontrollably.
Although she knew this was impossible, for some reason, she could taste the flavor of her master in this bowl of meat!
Even though she knew clearly that this bowl of food was sent by the fairy, and the ingredients inside were unheard of and unseen before.
But the taste of this braised pork is exactly the same as the one made by the master!
She has followed Aunt Yin for so many years, and this taste has been deeply imprinted in her mind.
Even as she chewed, she could taste how many spoonfuls of sugar and sauce the master put in when making it.
"Master, are you back? Or, even if you have gone to heaven, you are still worried about me and have come down to earth to help your useless disciple?"
Lichun fell to her knees on the ground, covered her mouth tightly with her hands, and cried inconsolably.
The scenes of countless transactions with the fairy replayed in front of her eyes over and over again. Only then did she realize how stupid she was before!
In this world, besides my master, who else would really care about my life or death?
Will he save her from danger again and again?
It is obvious that even if the master becomes an immortal, he cannot let go of himself!
Thinking of this, Lichun felt sad and painful in his heart, but at the same time, there was an indescribable sweet feeling.
She was even more determined to do her best to complete the tasks assigned by her master. The food issue must be handled properly.
After crying, Lichun felt much better. The depression that had been weighing on my heart due to the sudden death of my master finally dissipated.
Only then did she remember that there should be something else in the cabinet.
After carefully placing the meat on the table, she walked back to the cabinet and immediately saw a dessert plate that was previously blocked by the bowl of braised pork.
This set of bowls and plates was purchased when the master was still alive. They are made of delicate white porcelain with only a thin gold border on the outside.
Looks simple and luxurious.
At this moment, there was an orange-yellow, crystal clear dessert on the plate, exuding the unique aroma of citrus fruits.
Lichun carefully took out the snack, only to find that it was actually divided into two layers.
The top layer is completely transparent and it is obviously made of solidified orange juice.
And underneath it, there is another layer, which should be made of jelly solidified milk. Because the color is too close to that of white porcelain, she didn't even see it before.
This time, Lichun didn't dare to pinch it directly with his hands.
Because she had never seen such a crystal clear dessert, she was afraid that a finger would destroy its beauty.
She closed the cabinet door again and opened it quickly.
Because it was still early, there was no one else outside except a little palace maid who came early to clean.
And Lichun always came early, so the palace maid was not surprised to see her coming out of the house, but immediately came over to greet her.
Lichun personally went to the cabinet where the tableware was kept, took out chopsticks and a silver spoon for eating snacks, then told the little palace maid: "No one is allowed to approach that room without my order." Then he turned around and went back into the house.
When the little palace maid saw her actions, the first thing she thought of was that her aunt was researching new dishes again. Her aunt was really working hard.
There was an expression of admiration in his eyes.
Lichun returned to the house, closed the door again, and gently picked up a small piece of the dessert with a silver spoon. The heart moved tremblingly, and she realized that this thing was not as fragile as she had imagined, it was even somewhat elastic.
She touched it with interest and found that it felt a bit like the jelly eaten by ordinary people. But jelly can never be so transparent and beautiful.
She scooped up a piece and put it in her mouth, and was immediately attracted by the rich fragrance of the fruit. After chewing slowly, she could even taste strands of fruit pulp.
It's sour and sweet, and tastes quite pleasant.
After taking a bite, Lichun immediately thought - if he presented this snack to the young masters in the palace, there would be no one who would dislike it, right?
She took another bite of the one made with milk, and sure enough, the rich milk flavor was also very palatable.
At this moment, she almost immediately decided to include this snack in the list of new dishes for the next palace banquet.
After making this decision, she belatedly discovered a big problem -
This is something the fairy, or rather, my master, sent to me to eat!
Is she crazy? Why would she want to bring food from heaven to eat on earth?
And dedicate it to the master above!
What if a master likes the food and wants her to keep it on hand all the time? Where is she going to find the fairy? Isn't this just putting yourself on the fire? !
Lichun tapped his forehead with his hand in disgust, then took the plate of snacks out of the cupboard and prepared to put it on the table together with the braised pork.
This time I discovered the secret.
She found the recipe that Yin Xiaoman had placed next to the plate in the cabinet, as well as some fruit juice candies wrapped in a white silk handkerchief!
The candy is small and cute in shape, and the color is very bright. No one can fail to love it at first sight.
But Lichun's mind was not on the candy at all at this moment. She was completely attracted by the piece of white paper with densely written words on it.
The first thing she looked at was not the content on the paper, but the words.
In the past, the notes the fairy left for her were usually written on the paper she got from heaven, using a thin sky blue pen that she had never seen before.
So Lichun never thought about identifying the handwriting.
But this time, the fairy didn't know whether she forgot or overlooked it, and actually used the paper and pen on her desk, which made her see the difference at a glance.
She grew up with Yin Xiaoman.
I started doing chores for her when I was very young. Lichun has been reading her handwriting for at least eight or nine years. No matter how she changes, how could he not recognize it? !
If Lichun was still unsure about the braised pork just now, this message, which was exactly the same as what Yin Xiaoman said before, made her firmly believe that the fairy in the sky was her master who had become a fairy!
At this moment, her heart was suddenly filled with joy.
She looked at the contents carefully, and then found the abalone and agar-agar placed on the lower shelf of the cabinet according to what Yin Xiaoman said.
When she saw those two things, her admiration for her master suddenly rose to a completely unimaginable new height!
She could hardly imagine what kind of world it was where her master was. Why are there so many weird things?
If the master had not explained the cooking method to her in detail, Lichun would never have been able to connect the black shells and dry vegetables with the delicious food on the table.
So, Master became an immortal thanks to her superb craftsmanship, right?
Lichun put all the things away and decided to stay after dinner to try to do everything according to his master's instructions.
Perhaps because of the great sorrow and joy, her body was a little overdrawn at the moment. Although she felt that her subordinates outside had already started working and it was the busiest time of the day, she just sat in the chair and didn't want to move.
Normally, the beginning of spring is very busy, so busy that there is little time to sit down and think seriously about something.
But once she sat down, the more she thought about it, the more she realized something was wrong – why did her master start teaching her how to cook out of the blue?
With her understanding of her master over the years, Lichun knew that it would be easy for her master to not want her to be aware of her presence.
It was as if they had dealt with each other so many times now, and before today, hadn't she never doubted the fairy's identity?
And now, the master risked being discovered by me and left behind recipes and dishes... there must be a reason for that.
Lichun gave up the idea of her master recognizing her without even thinking about it. She pondered over it and could only think of one thing -
The master is in trouble, or she may not be able to get seafood in the future.
As soon as this thought came to mind, Lichun's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
At this moment, she didn't think at all about what impact it would have on her if she lost the channel to exchange with the fairy.
She had only one thought in her mind: would her master come to see her again in the future? !
Lichun immediately jumped up from his chair and ran around the room anxiously.
While she was trying to persuade herself to give up this idea, she also felt that this guess was actually somewhat reliable.
Apart from anything else, the frequency of Master exchanging with her is indeed much lower now. Even she could feel that the master cared a lot about the relief food, but the things she took out to exchange were getting less and less.
If it's not impossible to get it, what other reason could it be?
Thinking of this, Lichun was so anxious that tears were about to well up in his eyes again. I felt really anxious and aggrieved.
She could give up those things, but she didn't want to have no contact with her master from now on!
Lichun was crying and worrying about how she was tormented, but Yin Xiaoman had no idea.
She didn't even realize that she had been exposed by her apprentice. She didn't think that her true identity had been recognized by her apprentice just by a dish and a recipe.
She is very excited at this moment!
Not long after she came back from the space, Ren Ping'an found her and brought her some particularly good news.
Ren Pingan said: "Sister-in-law, my teacher is coming!"
Yin Xiaoman thought for a while before realizing who the teacher he was talking about was.
It should be the veteran squad leader Zhou who was invited by the regiment to cook for them when he attended the cook training class.
Yin Xiaoman couldn't help but burst out laughing.
She had been a master herself, and she knew deeply what kind of relationship there was between a master and his apprentice, and how they got along with each other.
So she couldn't understand Ren Ping'an's thoughts at all - just based on those few days of getting along, could he be so "shameless" as to call the other person a teacher?
So, you are so confident, but do people recognize you? Does Squad Leader Zhou know that he has a disciple like you?
But of course she wouldn't say that out loud.
"Why is he here? Is he going to stay on our island for a long time?" she asked excitedly.
No matter what the relationship between Ren Ping'an and the old soldier is, knowing that someone with excellent cooking skills is coming to the island is good news for Yin Xiaoman.
As a craftsman, I always hope to have more opportunities to exchange and communicate with like-minded people.
"No." Ren Ping'an shook his head, and then continued to explain to her.
"Our kitchen team has been short of staff for a while now, and we have applied to the regiment many times, but have received no response.
Now that another batch of military workers are finally going to the island, the group has finally agreed to add a few more people to us.
I suggested taking this opportunity to add a few more stoves to the kitchen. If there are enough people, two more people can be freed up to cook, so the cooking time can be shortened.
Squad Leader Zhou's cooking skills are the best in our regiment, so this time the regiment sent him and the military workers to the island. Help the kitchen team and other military workers to set up stoves at home.
Sister-in-law, when my Master Zhou comes, you two must communicate more. ”
As Ren Ping'an spoke, he winked at Yin Xiaoman, his eyes full of arrogance.
It was obvious that he wanted people to praise him for coming up with such a good idea and borrowing his master to stay on the island for a while.
Of course Yin Xiaoman immediately followed his wishes and praised him so much that he felt like he was about to fly to heaven.
After receiving this letter from Ren Ping'an, Yin Xiaoman finally had a new place to put his worries to rest during this period of time.
She simply let go, and of course she was the one who cooked the expert group's meals, except for the main dishes. She entrusted the preparation of side dishes and staple foods to Cui Yan.
Mrs. Cui is not good at cooking, but she has no problem steaming buns and rolling noodles.
Besides, Erniu is six years old now and is no longer the little kid who can’t do anything.
She certainly couldn't do heavy work, but she could do things like picking vegetables, watching the fire, running errands, and helping out well enough.
After handing over these trivial matters, Yin Xiaoman now devoted a considerable amount of energy to catching fish at sea.
She wasn't looking for food. I just want to find out if there are any new tricks? It would be best if you could find some seafood that you're not sure how to cook.
When the time comes, the master that Ren Ping'an mentioned, squad leader Zhou from the regiment's kitchen squad, comes, we can ask him for advice.
She told Shen Qingyun about this idea and got his approval.
Not to mention his own "glorious record" that his wife had created in the Vanguard Camp, it is something that the entire camp still talks about.
It is precisely because of the daughter-in-law's actions that the food conditions of those soldiers have been greatly improved, and no one can question this.
Although Ren Ping'an, the current cook on Zhongshan Island, is a good cook, he also went through multiple rounds of selection within the regiment when he was originally selected.
His cooking skills, especially those of seafood, are much better than those of the previous cook Wang Jun.
But who doesn’t want to eat better?
If the squad leader Zhou that his wife mentioned really had two axes, Shen Qingyun had even started thinking about how to keep him for a few more days.
Of course, he was not so self-righteous as to think that he could keep the "darling" of the group on the island for a long time. It would be okay if you could stay a few more days so that my wife and the people in the kitchen can learn some more skills, right?
To show his support, he even sent a soldier to Yin Xiaoman to hang out with her at the beach every day.
The soldier was selected by Ren Ping'an himself. It is said that he is from Province B and his family is of fishermen. Although he is not very good at cooking, he is first-class at going to the sea and finding seafood.
So, following him, Yin Xiaoman walked all the beaches of Zhongshan Island in less than a week, and discovered many "treasure pots" that he had never known about.
Zhongshan Island is a volcanic island. There is a large sea area with large rocks that have rolled down from the mountains, as well as large areas of rocky beaches.
Such waters are the favorite places for shellfish such as abalone, clams, and oysters.
Because there are patrol boats out to sea every day, people on the island have no shortage of seafood.
These rocky beaches are all in remote areas behind the mountains, so collecting shells is very laborious and there is a risk of getting scratched if you are not careful. So no one was willing to come.
Including rice, even if I am very familiar with the island, when I occasionally take my friends to the beach, I usually go to the fine sandy beach in front and never go to the rocky beach in the back.
And because almost no one has disturbed their lives for many years, the shells there are literally nests upon nests. Wherever you look, they are everywhere.
Yin Xiaoman wore the man's rubber shoes, took the gloves he distributed, and worked hard on the rocky beach with the young soldiers for several days, and they could be said to have returned with a full load every day.
On the last day, they even had to mobilize the Zhongshan team formed by the little ones to carry back all the things they had harvested.
Because these shellfish were troublesome to clean up and could not be cooked, even though he helped her with the work for several days in a row, when Yin Xiaoman suggested that the young soldier take some back to the kitchen to eat, he still refused.
Yin Xiaoman didn't give in much either, she knew Ren Ping'an didn't care about these things.
To be honest, if she hadn't figured out how to cook abalone before, she would have been tempted to back away when she saw the pile of shells that needed to be scrubbed and washed.
While no one was at home, Yin Xiaoman took all the things he had picked up into the space. Looking at the house that was suddenly full again, an indescribable sense of satisfaction suddenly arose.
These should be able to exchange for a lot of things from Lichun, right?
Thinking of this, she decided to go to the imperial kitchen again to see how her apprentice would react after seeing what she had put there.
I don’t know how much food she will exchange for me?
Yin Xiaoman entered the small room again, and when he opened the cabinets——
She was a little confused.
Because she did not see the note that her apprentice had left for her as before, with the note stating how many bags of rice and flour she could exchange for, but instead she saw a large bowl!
There was a lot of dried meat in the large bowl. She picked one up at random and found that it was the abalone she had brought before!
Just by weighing it casually, Yin Xiaoman immediately found that this abalone was much larger than the dozen or so he had sent over before!
Even after being dried, this one was almost as big as her palm. It’s hard to imagine how fat this thing must be when it’s fresh!
There are some small black things under these abalones. They look like dried meat worms and look very strange.
Yin Xiaoman picked it up and looked at it, thinking that it should also be a marine creature, but what exactly was it? She had never seen it before.
Then she found a note written by Lichun under the worms.
Yin Xiaoman opened the note, and the first thing that caught his eye were four words: "Master..."
Her eyelids twitched suddenly.
She rubbed her temples vigorously with her hands, not understanding what was wrong with this silly girl that she could recognize her.
It was a while before she continued to read.
In the letter, Lichun did not mention how she recognized Yin Xiaoman. She just promised her that she had purchased enough food to feed hundreds of people for several months, and asked her master not to worry about this matter anymore.
Lichun said that a small part of the money she earned from buying food came from seafood, but most of it came from selling skin care products such as facial cream and hand cream made according to the recipe provided by Yin Xiaoman.
Logically speaking, she should have received most of the money, so I asked her not to be too serious with me about money in the future.
When Yin Xiaoman saw this, he felt relieved all of a sudden. The huge stone that had been weighing on his heart was finally moved.
This made her suddenly feel that being recognized by her apprentice might not be a bad thing.
Although I don't understand how the little girl convinced me, it is obvious that she was not frightened by my sudden appearance.
This made Yin Xiaoman very comforted.
Lichun finally talked about these practical things.
It turned out that although she had been doing business with Yin Xiaoman, she actually had a feeling of uneasiness in her heart. I am always afraid that the fairy will appear suddenly and then disappear one day.
So when she was working with Old Li, she specifically asked him to send someone to keep an eye out and look for new sources of supply.
A few years have passed, and it turns out that this road is not very smooth. After all, the mountains are high and the waters are long, making it not realistic to transport fresh goods. That is to say, when the weather is cold, we can still bring back some live fish, but other things are still in short supply.
But Old Li found these dried goods in places where seafood was abundant.
He said that the local fishermen dried the fish themselves and that they could be eaten once they were expanded, but he was not clear on how they did it specifically. Let Lichun take it back and try to see if it works as those people said?
These things are sold very cheaply there. If you can really make similar dishes, then even if the transportation costs will be higher, it will still be profitable.
But after Lichun brought them back, she tried many ways but couldn’t figure out how to eat them. She didn’t even know what they were.
It was only after seeing the braised pork with abalone made by Yin Xiaoman that she realized that what she received looked very similar to the abalone in the bowl, and they should be the same.
It’s just that the master uses fresh ingredients, while she only has dried ingredients.
I left these today at the beginning of spring because I wanted to ask Master for help. I want to know how to eat these dried goods?
If I could help her solve this problem, then the goods in Old Man Li's hands would not be wasted, and he might even make a lot of money. I can buy a lot of food again.
Yin Xiaoman looked at the letter, then looked at the useful information, and for the first time he felt worried.
Not to mention how to eat it, she didn't even know what that black worm-like thing was?
And how are the abalones dried?
Just leave it in the sun? Would it stink before it dries?
This knowledge is really beyond her understanding.
You know, if it weren't for the space that kept the things inside fresh, she wouldn't even pick up so many abalone and clams. In her opinion, dried food is never as delicious as fresh food.
When thinking about picking abalone, Yin Xiaoman suddenly thought of his master Ren Ping'an, and his eyes lit up.
She felt that if she could find someone to help Lichun solve this problem, it would have to be Team Leader Zhou.
Thinking of this, she became even more excited about tomorrow's meeting.
The next day, Yin Xiaoman arrived at the dock early and prepared with Ren Pingan to welcome the arrival of Squad Leader Zhou and his group.
But what she didn't expect was that before she saw people, she actually saw a group of livestock on the boat.
Because Erniu figured out the method of using straw houses to protect chickens from being disturbed, it was successful. As a result, several hens that were originally about to be scared to death by the mountain explosion are now not only completely immune to the explosion sound, but also lay at least one egg every day because they are well fed. Sometimes, if they eat too many small fish and shrimps, they will even produce a few with double yolks.
This immediately made Ren Ping'an develop a strong interest in breeding.
So when he placed the order for the supply ship, he not only asked them to help bring a dozen more chickens, but also ducks, a few geese, and he even asked someone to buy a pair of sheep.
I want to try whether these creatures can be raised on the island.
When seeing the pair of sheep, not only Yin Xiaoman, but even Cui Yan who came along to join in the fun, her eyes lit up!
"Team Leader Ren, if we raise these sheep well, can we buy a few piglets to raise next time?" Cui Yan asked excitedly.
When she said this, the eyes of the people around her all turned to Ren Ping'an, and even the sound of swallowing saliva was heard from somewhere.
Ren Pingan was originally a good-tempered person. He was not annoyed by being stared at like that. He nodded happily and said, "Okay! If we can raise this sheep, we will buy a few piglets next time! When they are well raised, we will also kill the New Year pigs to eat!"
Although this is just empty talk and no one knows when it can be realized, it still created a huge wave among the crowd.
Before Ren Ping'an even said anything, some people had already volunteered to raise sheep, and each of them said they had experience and skills.
It was clear from the look on their faces that they wanted to treat the sheep like their ancestor, fearing that if they gave it to someone else and it died, they would no longer have the hope of eating fresh meat.
It is hard to tell whether it is more funny or more sigh-worthy.
The new workers and the things they brought got off the ship one after another, but Ren Pingan's master was nowhere to be seen.
Not until Yin Xiaoman became anxious did he shout towards the boat: "Team Leader Zhou, over here!" As he spoke, he waved his hands vigorously.
Following the direction of Ren Ping'an's finger, Yin Xiaoman tried hard to identify.
But after watching for a long time, I still don’t know who he is referring to?
Fortunately, Ren Ping'an had already arrived with a few soldiers. She then discovered that there were some soldiers on the supply ship unloading sacks of coal on the deck.
She couldn't see it before because of the angle and because they were all bent over.
After waiting for about ten minutes, the soldiers finally unloaded all the sacks from the boat, and Ren Ping'an came up to her and Cui Yan with a little soldier.
"Sister-in-law, this is the squad leader Zhou I told you about, my little teacher." Ren Ping'an introduced them.
"Hello, sister-in-law!" As soon as he finished speaking, the young soldier saluted her neatly, which surprised Yin Xiaoman.
Before the meeting, Yin Xiaoman thought a lot about what this squad leader Zhou would be like.
After thinking about it, I feel that he must be at least in his forties, right?
After all, to be specially sent by the regiment to give lectures to all the kitchen squad leaders, he must have a certain amount of experience.
And Ren Ping'an kept calling "our teacher, our teacher", which further solidified Yin Xiaoman's impression of him.
But the young soldier in front of him looked to be in his early twenties, and even looked younger than Gao Chong before.
He also has a baby face, which is round and makes him look even younger.
Because he had just moved coal, there was still a little coal dust on his face, and the more he looked, the more he looked like a new soldier.
Yin Xiaoman really couldn't connect such a child with the descendant of the chef that Ren Ping'an mentioned.
Perhaps her expression was too surprised, even the squad leader Zhou on the opposite side noticed it.
He smiled at Yin Xiaoman and said, "Sister-in-law, I just grew up like this. There's nothing I can do about it. But my kids are all over the place. I'm thirty years old this year."
In one sentence, almost everyone except Ren Pingan was shocked.
Yin Xiaoman also felt a little embarrassed because his thoughts were seen through by others.
Fortunately, Squad Leader Zhou was a very insightful person. He saw Yin Xiaoman's embarrassment and immediately changed the subject.
"Sister-in-law, I heard from Xiao Ren that you are also good at cooking, and now you are in charge of the meals for the experts on the island. If I have the chance, I must ask you for advice."
"Don't, don't, don't, learn from each other and ask for advice from each other."
It can be seen that Squad Leader Zhou is also a straightforward person, and Yin Xiaoman no longer has the initial sense of distance.
So I made an appointment with him at that time, asking him to come to my house when he finished his work and was free, as I also had something I wanted to ask him.
With squad leader Zhou
