Sister Li is still a little worried:

"Will it cause you any trouble?"

She was thinking that Xu Niannian was pregnant. What if they came to Xu Niannian to ask for food? It would be a favor and it would be difficult to refuse.

Xu Niannian smiled:

"No, don't worry."

She really couldn't finish eating all the food she grew, so she took it out to cover up the things in the space. She didn't want to eat pickled vegetables every day while pregnant.

As for the extra ones, she could exchange them with others if she wanted to, or do favors for them if she wanted to.

Lu Huaijin also informed her in advance and let her do whatever she liked.

Before the two of them finished their conversation, they heard a knock on the door.

Sister Li thought to herself, here it comes, here it comes, as expected.

She knew someone would come.

Xu Niannian got out of bed, put on his shoes, opened the door and saw that it was the canteen chef:

"Master Liu, do you need me for something?"

Master Liu forced out an amiable smile:

"I heard you grew some vegetables. Can I come and see your vegetables?"

Xu Niannian opened the door and made way for him:

"Of course I can. Master Liu has always helped me in the past. This is nothing."

Every time he asked Master Liu to save meat for her, he would never forget it, and the meat was always the freshest and most suitable.

As soon as Master Liu came in and saw the greenhouse, he knew the vegetables were inside.

But I have never touched this thing before. If I look carefully from the outside to the inside, I can see that it looks very good.

Xu Niannian watched from the side:

"Master Liu, you can go in through this entrance. There are also cooked vegetables inside. You can pick some to taste at noon. Otherwise, I can't bring them to you with my big belly."

Master Liu pointed at himself:

"Can I come in?"

He thought this thing was very rare and wondered if he had broken it. He didn't expect Xu Niannian to be so generous.

"Sure, but if you pick more, I won't have to go in and pick the amount for lunch."

After hearing this, Master Liu could no longer hold back.

As a cook, he pays attention to the freshness of ingredients, and he hasn't eaten vegetables for a long time.

Without any hesitation, he went in quickly.

As soon as you enter you can feel the temperature is different from outside.

The red and green ones growing in the ground are particularly tempting. There are lush little thorns on the cucumbers, which make people want to take a bite when they pick them.

With an excited heart and trembling hands, he picked the fruits as he walked, and soon the two baskets in his hands were full.

He felt embarrassed to pick any more, and finally took a lingering look at the vegetable patch before walking out.

Xu Niannian was sitting outside waiting for him.

As soon as Master Liu came out, he praised the good crops on the land to Xu Niannian:

"I have seen and touched a lot of fruits and vegetables. It is really impressive that you can grow these delicious vegetables."

At this moment, there was more eagerness in Master Liu's eyes when he looked at Xu Niannian, and less of the previous sense of distance.

He firmly believes that Xu Niannian, who can grow delicious vegetables, must be a good person.

Xu Niannian kept some for himself, and let Master Liu take the rest away.

Master Liu did not hide anything. Before leaving, he secretly told Xu Niannian:

"There will be a batch of fresh beef arriving tomorrow morning. If you want to eat some, ask Xiao Lu to go to my place and get the meat coupons to buy some."

Beef is a new thing nowadays and you can’t buy it easily if you want to.

After hearing this, Xu Niannian's eyes lit up. Beef can be made into many things, especially now that it is winter, it can be made into beef balls and so on.

When cooking noodles, put some in it and the taste will immediately improve.

Master Liu went back happily carrying the vegetables. His stomach was already growling, and he couldn't help but eat a cucumber on the way.

It's crispy and has a sweet cucumber flavor.

He felt like he had finished the meal before he had even taken two bites.

I smacked my lips and thought this dish was so delicious!

The food for their army is basically ordered from outside. He assured that even in summer there might not be such delicious cucumbers.

Xu Niannian gave a lot, enough for half a basket.

He was walking on the road with the vegetables, and the wives of soldiers around him kept looking at his basket.

It was covered with a piece of cloth. Fortunately, he was smart, otherwise there would be nothing left of these things when he got to the kitchen.

It is now ten o'clock in the morning, and the helpers have already started cutting potatoes and washing cabbage.

Master Liu didn't eat after finishing his work in the morning, and now he was starving, so he planned to use these vegetables to make some simple home-cooked meals.

When the pan is hot, add oil, pour in a small amount of soy sauce and salt, and finally add minced garlic and stir-fry.

After a while, an enticing aroma wafted through the big kitchen.

He also made some egg fried rice with each grain distinctly separated.

There were apprentices around, washing vegetables and craning their necks to look over here.

The aroma is so tempting, much more fragrant than the dishes that Master Liu usually cooks.

When Master Liu served the food for the first time and was about to start eating it with a sense of ceremony.

The orderly Xiao Li came running over:

"Master Liu, Master Liu, our old leader is back today. Do you think you can prepare any suitable meal for him? He has a poor appetite recently, so it would be best to prepare something new."

As he spoke, he saw the food on his plate:

“You smell pretty good.”

The corner of Old Liu's mouth twitched. After thinking for a while, he took the lunch box from the orderly and put the meal he had just prepared into it for his old leader.

Normally, leaders of this level would have their meals served separately, but Chief Jiang often went home for meals and rarely ate with them.
