The Pretty Military Wife

Lin Xiaoju didn't think there was anything wrong with what she said or did.

On the contrary, I think that since she is a city person, she should choose one first.

If you take the fat ones, you may complain that the fat will be too oily to eat, but if you take the lean ones, you may feel that there won’t be enough oil to make them.

Xiao Wei's hands felt sore from holding the basin.

Really, this is for Lao Xiao's sake, otherwise, he really couldn't tolerate it.

After a lot of effort, she chose the fat one and also listened to Liang Xinyue's thoughts.

After boiling the oil, the remaining oil residue can be chopped up and fried to make meat sauce.

The leaner meat was not lean at all, with two layers of fat in the middle. The oil was not even boiled out, and the skin tasted a bit unpalatable.

Lin Xiaoju took the fat meat and walked away, saying disdainfully:

"This little bit of meat won't produce much oil."

Xiao Wei was so angry...

"Next time, I will never let the leader buy things and share them with them. Sister, how are you going to eat this meat?"

In fact, this was the part that Liang Xinyue liked the most at first, so even though it sounded a bit weird, she was still very satisfied.

"Would you like to come over for lunch later? I'll braise some potatoes."

"No, sister, please save some. It can last for two or three days."

Liang Xinyue: ...

If you eat the same dish for two or three days, you will definitely not want to eat it anymore. Besides, what will the braised pork look like after being reheated several times?

After thinking for a while, Liang Xinyue said:

"Can you find me some saltpeter?"

Xiao Wei smiled and said:

"Yes, there are some in the warehouse of the regiment. Do you want some?"

Liang Xinyue nodded and said:

"If it's not against discipline, just get me some."

"It's not a violation. The leader even had someone clean it up last time. I'll get you some. What do you want to use it for?"

Liang Xinyue smiled and said:

"I remember one of our educated youth used saltpeter to make ice. We can give it a try. If it can be made into ice, we can freeze the meat. It won't go bad if we keep it."

Xiao Wei's eyes lit up. It has this function?

He immediately turned and ran:

"Sister, wait for me."

This piece of meat may be a little less for a family, but it feels a little more for one person.

Liang Xinyue went into the kitchen and cut the meat into one third, washed it and then cut it into cubes.

I took two potatoes, peeled them and cut them into pieces.

The braised pork was oily and delicious with pancakes. So Liang Xinyue didn't cook rice, but mixed some flour to prepare pancakes.

After a while, Xiao Wei called a soldier to bring a basket over:

"Sister, I got some for you. What do you want to do with it? The bag that holds this is broken."

Liang Xinyue looked at the saltpeter that was obviously covered with dust:

"It's okay. I won't eat this. It doesn't matter if there's ash."

Liang Xinyue found a bucket, put half a bucket of water in it, took some saltpeter from the basket and put it in and stirred it a few times.

Then take a vegetable bowl and fill it with some water, then put the two-thirds of the cut meat into the bowl, and then put it into the bucket.

The basin did not sink. Liang Xinyue put the bucket in the corner of the empty room and covered it with a pot lid.

"I don't know if it will turn into ice if left like this. I don't know what proportion the educated youth said to put them in, but this will definitely prevent the meat from smelling bad."

Xiao Wei smiled and said:

"Sister, if I had known this method earlier, I would have told the quartermaster, so that we can also store the leftover food in our cafeteria this way."

Liang Xinyue smiled and said:

"Wait a minute, I haven't done this before, let's see if it works. If it does, tell the quartermaster."

Xiao Wei nodded and turned around to light the fire. Liang Xinyue first braised the meat in the pot and then started to make pancakes beside the pot.

"Sister, my grandmother used to make pancakes this way. She said they would only take one pot to cook and it would save firewood."

"Well, it's like that in the countryside. You have to plan everything and save as much as possible."

After baking the pancake, put the potatoes in. Xiao Wei's eyes lit up when he saw the potatoes:

"Sister, add potatoes again, this is delicious."

At noon, Liang Xinyue baked seven pancakes. Xiao Wei ate three of them by himself, and Liang Xinyue only ate one.

Xiao Wei’s favorite is the potatoes in the braised pork. He always thinks that this thing is delicious when cooked by Sister Xinyue.

In fact, potatoes are also a common dish in the cafeteria, but they are a bit choking and dry in the mouth.

After listening to what Xiao Wei said, Liang Xinyue smiled and said:

"Are the potatoes you eat stewed like this one or half a piece?"

"Well, our quartermaster said that eating that way will make you more full."

Uh……

Liang Xinyue thought that it was probably to save some fuel.

So, isn’t it a bit wasteful to cook like this?

Xiao Wei didn't come over that night, and Liang Xinyue's ice was really successful, with a piece of meat frozen in the ice.

Now she had a place to put the unfinished dishes and cakes. She placed a piece of bamboo on the bucket filled with ice, then placed the bowl of vegetables on top and then covered the pot with the lid. It was perfect.

Since Zhou Guoliang didn't come back, Liang Xinyue would lock the door early and sit in the room knitting a sweater. She could still hear the crying of a child being beaten over there.

Liang Xinyue got up early the next morning and watered the vegetable seeds in the backyard. She also swept the front and back yards.

Although there wasn't much garbage, she felt that it would be much brighter after sweeping it. She had a simple breakfast, so she boiled a pot of water and ate the pancakes.

You can just take a little bit of food for one person and eat it.

I had just finished my meal and was thinking about whether to knit a sweater or chop wood when I heard the gate of the outer courtyard being pushed open a little bit.

Liang Xinyue watched as the door was pushed open and two little heads appeared. One of them was Chen Rulan, whom she had just met yesterday, Xiao Lanlan.

The other was a little boy, about six or seven years old.

Seeing Liang Xinyue standing under the eaves looking at them, the little brother smiled a little embarrassedly, while Xiao Lanlan became much more generous.

He opened the door and shouted happily:

"Auntie."

Then he ran towards Liang Xinyue with his short legs.

Liang Xinyue squatted down and continued:

"Lanlan, have you had breakfast?"

"I have it. Auntie, this is my brother. My brother's name is Dongdong."

Liang Xinyue looked at the shy little boy who followed Lanlan in. He had a chubby face and it seemed that the mother and his two children really had the same face.

They all have round faces and crescent-shaped eyes when they smile.

"Dongdong, right? Come in and sit down."

"No, Auntie, my mom asked if you want to go out to look for wild vegetables today. If you do, we can go together."

Liang Xinyue looked at the desolation around her with some surprise. Are there wild vegetables in this place?

"Okay, I'll go. Wait a minute, I'll close the door first."

Liang Xinyue had been having trouble finding anything to do, and when she heard that there were wild vegetables to be found, she decided to go for a walk.
