Jiang Wenjing and Qian Yu's group started preparing lunch first.

The grains just distributed today are this year's new sorghum rice and corn kernels. The corn kernels will be crushed with a stone mill or processed into corn flour to make porridge.

We had sorghum rice for lunch today. As usual, the female educated youth had half a bowl and the male educated youth had one bowl. Jiang Wenjing soaked the sorghum rice in a basin for a while before cooking it, intending to stir-fry the vegetables first.

The old educated youth opened a vegetable plot and learned from the villagers to plant some cabbages and radishes. Although they did not grow very well, they were rare vegetables in the winter. The cabbages were placed in the corner of the kitchen and the radishes were buried in a hole dug in the yard.

The big pot dish was being prepared in full swing, and Shen Lu's meal was also being cooked.

Take out the soaked bacon and cut it into slices. The fat part has become transparent and it smells salty and fragrant even before it is cooked.

When preparing to steam rice, Xu Shiqing first picked up a piece of fat to lubricate the pot, put in two bowls of washed rice, added water and started steaming the rice. By the time they finished the meeting and started cooking, their rice was already out of the pot.

The rich aroma of the special rice wafted out as the lid of the pot was opened, and several educated youth in the yard swallowed their saliva at the same time.

This is too fragrant.

They couldn't remember how long it had been since they had eaten rice.

Xu Zhiqing, who was unaware of the situation in the room, started to cook the meat. As the transparent meat slices were put into the pot, they slowly became thinner and more transparent. After stir-frying for a while, Xu Zhiqing felt that it was ready, so he added garlic sprouts to the slightly curled bacon. Garlic sprouts are a magic tool for enhancing the flavor, and the aroma that comes out directly reaches several levels.

Those in the yard also wanted to form a partnership with Xu Zhiqing. This was too tempting.

The people in the room didn't know that there were already several more people outside craning their necks to smell the food. Shen Lu and the others were getting ready to eat.

As soon as I took a bite of the fragrant rice, all the worries about going to the countryside were washed away, and it was so delicious when paired with the bacon.

People inside the house feel that their life is perfect, while people outside the house feel that their life is bumpy.

Liu Lanjiang said that today was a good day because new educated youth had joined the group and they were having a meal together. They would use the newly distributed food and eat dry rice at noon. He also approved that more oil could be used when cooking.

Jiang Wenjing stir-fried some cabbage and added garlic to the wok. As expected, the cabbage became more fragrant with more oil. She took out the cabbage, rinsed the wok, and started steaming sorghum rice. Usually sorghum is made into porridge, but today she made it into dry rice.

He Yan came in from outside and took a look at the cabbage

"Hey, other people eat meat, it's all meat and no vegetables, we eat all vegetables and no meat"

She regretted making Xu Shiqing angry, although she didn't know what she had done to offend her.

But she thought that if Xu Shiqing was not angry, she and Xu Shiqing would have eaten the meal together. She missed out on such delicious meat in vain, and she regretted it so much that she wanted to slap herself.

The big pot of food was ready. The female educated youth each had a bowl, and the rest was basically shared by the male educated youth. They had big appetites and produced a lot of food.

The female educated youth said it was half a bowl, but in fact it was not the standard half bowl. After all, they ate little, and half a bowl of sorghum was almost the same as a bowl of dry rice.

The meal had just been served and everyone was starving after smelling the food for a long time.

He Yan didn't say a word and just buried her head in eating. Today, Zhao Hong was watching her and made her eat the standard half bowl of food. She was just about to shake her head when Zhao Hong looked at her.

The old educated youth were savoring their hard-earned rice. He Yan had already finished a bowl of rice and stood up with the bowl in hand, ready to leave.

"Where are you going?"

Zhao Hong's eyes were fixed on her, and she noticed He Yan's movement.

"I'm not full yet, have another bowl"
