"Yuzhu, this is the money for five kilograms of mutton." The political commissar's wife took out four yuan and gave it to Jiang Yuzhu.
When cutting the mutton, they took out the five pounds, knowing that Gao Xiaoqin had asked for five pounds. The rest were cut into two-pound pieces for easy access.
The captain's two sons helped the two of them carry their things and sent them back.
Jiang Yuzhu wanted a lot of things, and this time their family exchanged the most things, both money and tickets, so the team leader sent his two sons to help send them back.
"Sister-in-law, what are you doing? Mutton costs 60 cents per pound, and you gave me four dollars. That's too much." Jiang Yuzhu took out one dollar.
"No, no, take this money. The captain agreed on it back then: 60 cents per pound with meat coupons, 80 cents without. You're only calculating the gross weight, and there are so many bones and offal, there's not much net meat left."
The political commissar's wife is not the type to take advantage of others.
Jiang Yuzhu paid for most of the expenses, and she helped me exchange things so that they were much cheaper.
How can you do things this way?
Jiang Yuzhu smiled, knowing that the political commissar's wife would not want the money, so she had to take it back.
"I should have sold more of my sister-in-law earlier. Oh, I even made an extra dollar."
Jiang Yuzhu started joking.
But he was already thinking about cooking some mutton and sending some to the political commissar's family.
"Girl, I'm taking advantage of you. I've bought so many things, but this is the first time someone has delivered something to my home." The political commissar's wife looked at the two people following behind her.
"Don't worry, sir. No matter how much it is, I will send it to you in the future." The captain's son is naturally a man who knows how to handle things.
"Haha, okay."
"No, I should be the one thanking you, sister-in-law. You helped me so much, otherwise I wouldn't be able to buy mutton."
Jiang Yuzhu held Gao Xiaoqin's arm, and the two talked and laughed along the way.
"Ms. Gao, where have you been? Why aren't you home so early in the morning?" The people in the family compound saw the political commissar's wife returning with the wife of Battalion Commander Xu, who had just arrived yesterday. Two strong men followed behind them, carrying a lot of things.
"Ah, I'm taking Xiao Jiang for a walk."
"You guys chat, I have to go home and cook." The political commissar's wife didn't want to chat with them any more.
Each of them has their eyes fixed on the things behind them.
Jiang Yuzhu just acted as a background board, smiling but not saying a word.
They were at a loss as they all knew Jiang Yuzhu was not someone to be trifled with.
"Oh, that's enough. Put your things down. We won't keep you here any longer. Go back and rest early." The political commissar's wife followed him to Jiang Yuzhu's house.
After all, there were two men who followed Jiang Yuzhu into the yard. It would not look good if she was not there. If something got out, it would be bad.
With her around, no one dared to say anything.
"Okay, sister. Please call us if you need anything in the future. We'll be leaving first." The captain's two sons were sweating profusely from exhaustion.
"Wait." Jiang Yuzhu took out two oranges from the house and handed them to the two of them.
"Thank you for bringing the things over to me. These are oranges. Please have some. They will quench your thirst."
"No, no, no. It's so much, it's only a gift." The two were embarrassed to take it.
This fruit is so precious, how could two grown men like them feel comfortable taking it?
But did his eyes glance over the orange?
They had only heard of oranges but had never eaten the bright yellow ones.
"They are giving it to you sincerely, so you two can take it." The political commissar's wife is old, so there is no need to worry so much.
He took the orange and stuffed it directly into the hands of the two men.
"Well...thank you." The two put the oranges in their pockets and left.
The children will definitely be happy when I get home to eat it.
Seeing the two leave, the political commissar's wife didn't want to stay any longer, "I'm leaving too. It's time to cook."
"Okay, I won't keep my sister-in-law."
Jiang Yuzhu happened to be preparing lunch.
The trip back and forth, and the wait for the sheep to be slaughtered, took more than three hours.
It's already eleven o'clock. Xu Lei should be back at twelve o'clock and rest until two o'clock.
Jiang Yuzhu quickly started cooking.
Steam the rice first. Yuzhu plans to make cumin lamb for lunch. She puts the lamb bones into the pot to stew the soup, then adds some radishes and stir-fries cabbage and black fungus with vinegar.
Two dishes and one soup, about enough for two people.
She couldn't eat much, mainly because Xu Lei could eat.
Jiang Yuzhu collected some of the mutton and bones and put them in the space to keep them fresh.
Prepare all the internal organs, cut into cubes, and mix them together. When you want to drink mutton soup in the future, just take some out and make mutton soup.
Fortunately, the weather is getting colder and we can put things outside.
It’s okay to put some outside, but she wouldn’t dare buy them like this in the summer.
The kitchen was steaming, and the rich aroma of lamb wafted out again.
Especially when Jiang Yuzhu cooks cumin lamb, the smell can be smelled almost ten miles away.
"Ah... wah wah wah..." There were crying sounds coming from the Ma family again, obviously they smelled the fragrance coming from the Xu family again.
Xu Lei was still on the training ground when he smelled the fragrance.
The army's training ground is not too far from the family compound and is blocked by a wall.
This is also to enable soldiers to return home quickly to rest and facilitate the management and protection of the family compound.
"Hey, do you smell it?"
"I smelled it a long time ago. It's so fragrant. Who's doing this?"
"Need I say more?" After saying that, he signaled with his eyes and looked at Xu Lei.
This fragrance only came out after Xu Lei's wife came to the compound. It never happened before.
Xu Lei naturally knew that it was his wife who was cooking, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
I looked at the time and there were still ten minutes left.
"Xu Lei, you're so mean! Your wife cooks so deliciously, why don't you treat us to a meal?"
"Yes, we have been brothers for so many years. Now that your wife has moved in, we brothers have to come and give you two a warm home."
"Yes, yes, yes. Go home and ask for instructions. We can go there someday when it's convenient for us."
A few people winked at each other and wanted to go to Xu Lei's house for a meal.
"That's enough, you guys! The abacus beads are breaking on your face. Aren't you ashamed? You're such a loser."
"Ahem, well, I didn't bring my meal ticket today. I'll go back with you later." Lu Hongming was obviously even more shameless.
"Fuck you..." Several people attacked him.
"That's enough, you guys. Haven't you eaten yet?" Xu Lei was speechless. He didn't want his wife to suffer.
"No... you are a full man who doesn't know the hunger of a hungry man. You eat delicious food every day, so just let your brothers watch over you. It's okay for us to have a taste of it."
"Yes, if you keep craving for us every day, just give us a good meal and we won't miss you anymore."
"Hmph, forget it. I'm afraid you'll be even more worried about it." Xu Lei didn't agree and just left.
"Hey, if you say that, we can finally consider that you agree, right?"
"It will work tomorrow, right? Tomorrow, we'll be there."
Several people shouted behind Xu Lei.
