After going to the countryside, I rely on the sign-in system to bring my sisters along

Are they familiar enough to approach her privately?

"Comrade Wang Xinru, do you have something to talk to me about?" Wen Xi really felt strange about Wang Xinru's arrival.

"Just call me Wang Xinru, no need to add the word comrade. Can I go in and talk?" Wang Xinru pointed inside the yard awkwardly.

Wen Xi nodded and let her in, then closed the gate and looked at Wang Xinru with curiosity. Under Wen Xi's gaze, Wang Xinru slowly lifted the old clothes covering the basket, revealing an extremely beautiful piece of pork belly.

I don’t know how Wang Xinru bought such a good piece of meat.

"Wang Xinru, what are you doing?" Wen Xi asked in confusion.

"Wenxi, you are a good cook and your dishes are delicious. Could you please help me make some pork belly? After it's done, we can each have half, okay?" Wang Xinru pouted and looked at Wenxi pitifully.

Except for the period of harvesting late rice when she ate in the canteen and the food was better, now she only has simple meals every day at the educated youth center, and her mouth is almost dry.

There were too many people eating together at the educated youth point, and this little bit of meat was not enough for everyone to have a few bites. Besides, Wang Xinru really didn't like some of the people, and she didn't want them to take advantage of her, so Wang Xinru came to find Wen Xi.

Wen Xi thought that as a fellow educated youth, it was not easy for them to be away from their parents and hometowns. She was a good person and there were no conflicts between them, so she would naturally help her if she could. Besides, Wang Xinru said she would give her half, so it was not like she was working for nothing.

So Wenxi agreed, "Then I'll add some potatoes and make braised pork and potatoes, okay?"

"This piece of meat is given to you. You can do whatever you want with it. I won't interfere. I believe in your cooking skills. It will taste good no matter how you cook it." Wang Xinru handed the basket to Wen Xi with flattering hands.

Wenxi took the basket and said, "Come with me!"

Wen Xi handed some garlic and ginger to Wang Xinru when they came to the kitchen. "Go peel the garlic and wash the ginger." Then he raised his eyebrows and said, "Right?"

Wang Xinru nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes."

After that, Wang Xinru took the garlic and ginger to the well. Wen Xi put the basket on the kitchen table and took out four silver carps from the warehouse, pretending that they were brought out from the utility room.

Wen Xi brought the fish and the basin to the well and placed them next to Wang Xinru. "Leave the fish here and don't move it."

“Okay.” Wang Xinru’s eyes lit up when she saw the big white fish. Four of them? Could one of them be hers?

Wenxi returned to the kitchen, scooped water from the water tank, washed the pork belly and cut it into small even pieces. Then he took out five potatoes, peeled them, washed them, cut them into small pieces, and soaked them in the basin.

After Wang Xinru brought back the garlic and ginger, Wen Xi cut the garlic and ginger, then went to the stove to light a fire. After the pot was heated, he added a spoonful of oil into it.

Wang Xinru looked at the oil in the pot and was very shocked. Her mother was reluctant to put so much oil in cooking, but she didn't expect Wen Xi to be so willing to do so.

After the oil is hot, Wenxi pours the pork belly in and stir-frys until it changes color. He then adds dried chili peppers, ginger, and garlic to bring out the aroma. He then pours in soy sauce to color the pork belly, adds boiling water to cover the meat, and then pours in the potato cubes. All that's left is to simmer for a while, and there's no need to worry.

Wen Xi asked Wang Xinru to keep an eye on the fire, and went to the well to process the fish. He first scraped off the scales, then gutted the mackerel, and then removed the gills. Wen Xi threw the garbage into the chicken coop as a snack for the chickens.

Back in the kitchen, Wen Xi took out two cabbages from the pickle jar, cut them up and put them on a plate.

After the braised pork and stewed potatoes were ready, Wen Xi washed the pot and started to cook the fish. She first fried the fish strips until both sides were golden brown, then put them on a plate. Then she put the chopped salted cabbage into the pot, stir-frying it until fragrant, then added a pot of hot water, and then put the fish from the frying pan into the pot, and then simmered it.

Wen Xi handed the task of watching the fire to Wang Xinru, and went to the yard to pull up a few white radishes and dig up a few yellow cabbages. The vegetables she had picked before had already been stored in the warehouse, and she was too lazy to take out more.

After washing the vegetables and taking them back to the kitchen, Wenxi cut the white radish into thin strips, but left the yellow cabbage alone, as it would be ready for frying later.

When the fish was almost done, Wenxi poured in the tofu cubes that he had cut in advance. After stewing for ten minutes, when the tofu had absorbed the flavor, Wenxi served the fish.

Then I stir-fried the yellow heart cabbage and cooked the radish and meat soup.

If Wang Xinru hadn't been there, Wen Xi wouldn't have bothered to do it slowly one by one. It would have been much more convenient and easier to just get it directly from the system warehouse!

When Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue came back, they were a little surprised to see Wang Xinru here, so Wen Xi explained to them.

The food was served and everyone sat down to eat. Lunch was sweet potato rice. Wang Xinru looked at the sumptuous meal in front of her and swallowed. She sat behind the stove and watched the fire. The fragrance kept surrounding her, and she couldn't help swallowing her saliva.

"One fish per person, eat your own fish, don't make a mess." Wen Xi reminded, then picked up the chopsticks and started eating.

Wen Xi was not afraid that Wang Xinru would say nonsense when she returned to the Youth League Home. It didn't matter what she said. After all, she only prepared a fish and vegetables, and the meat was prepared by Wang Xinru. Who doesn't have vegetables? If the ones she cooked were not as delicious as hers, who could she blame?

Wang Xinru ate a piece of tofu and hummed with satisfaction. The tofu was very tasty, with a light salty taste but also the freshness of fish. It was very juicy and had a rich taste when eaten.

The fish Wen Xi got today was a big fish weighing more than half a pound. People with small appetites can be full with just one fish. In addition, Wang Xinru also ate braised pork, tofu, and drank soup. She successfully filled herself up. She felt that the food was about to hit her throat. She really ate too much today.

"Wang Xinru, stand up and walk a few steps, otherwise you will feel uncomfortable." Wen Xi reminded.

She also didn't expect Wang Xinru to be such a big eater. She kept putting food into her mouth with her chopsticks without stopping.

Is her craft really that good?

Wen Xi originally wanted to pack a box of braised pork in a lunch box for her to take back, so that she could just steam it and eat it in the evening. However, the braised pork and potatoes were eaten up cleanly, leaving only a little oil and soup in the pot.

After a few minutes, everyone's situation eased a little, and Shen Jiaojiao went to clean up the kitchen, because this was her job. Wang Xinru didn't want to eat for free, so she hurried over to help Shen Jiaojiao, and Shen Jiaojiao didn't refuse.

"Wenxi, thank you today. I really enjoyed the meal. It's better than what I eat at home." Wang Xinru said sincerely.

Even at home, there was rarely any meat dish on her table.
