Forced to go to the countryside, the arrogant young lady got married and became a military wife

The scorching afternoon sun shone into the house through the window. Shi Qingqian started cleaning after lunch.

We have guests coming tonight, so we need to clean up a bit.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

Shi Qingqian opened the door and saw Sister Yang and Sister Zheng standing at the door, both holding vegetable baskets in their hands and with warm smiles on their faces.

"Sister Qingqian, we are here," Mrs. Zheng said cheerfully.

Shi Qingqian hurriedly went in to greet them: "Sister Yang, Sister Zheng, you came really early. What did you bring?"

Mrs. Zheng smiled and said, "These are some fresh vegetables we grew at home. We thought we could add some variety to the dishes we cook tonight."

Sister Yang also nodded and said, "Yes, it's home-grown, so it's very fresh."

Shi Qingqian said gratefully, "Thank you so much, please come in and sit down."

Sisters Yang and Zheng walked into the house, looked around and said, "Qingqian, your house is so clean."

Shi Qingqian said a little embarrassedly: "Thank you for the compliment, sisters-in-law. We are treating you today, so I packed a little more."

Sister Yang put the dishes in the kitchen, rolled up her sleeves and said, "Let's not be idle anymore, let's start preparing the meal."

Mrs. Zheng also agreed: "Yes, prepare early, so as not to be in a hurry at night."

Shi Qingqian said, "Then I'll trouble you sisters-in-law. I'll take out the dishes and take a look at them first."

So the three of them started busying themselves in the kitchen.

Shi Qingqian took out the meat and vegetables that Master Sun had sent last night.

Sister Yang looked at the dishes, her eyes shining: "Wow, the meat and vegetables are really fresh."

"I asked Master Sun to help bring this back. Sister-in-law, please take a look at how I made it. I can help you."

Sister Yang smiled and said, "Okay, let's get started."

Sister Yang picked up a piece of pork with fat and lean parts and rinsed it carefully under the tap. As she washed, she said, "This meat must be washed clean. Sometimes there will be some blood on it."

Shi Qingqian nodded, then picked up a handful of vegetables and started to break off and wash them one by one.

Mrs. Zheng was responsible for processing the fresh vegetables. She hummed a little tune while peeling potatoes skillfully.

"Sister Qingqian, your potatoes are really good, big and plump," said Mrs. Zheng with a smile.

Shi Qingqian responded: "This was also picked by Master Sun."

Mrs. Yang put the washed pork on the chopping board, picked up the kitchen knife and started cutting it with very skillful movements.

"I see there's so much meat, it won't be enough for two dishes. I'll put the extra away for you."

"No need to charge," Shi Qingqian said, "Why don't you make an extra meat dish? It's rare for my husband and I to invite everyone over, so the most important thing is that everyone enjoys themselves."

After hearing what Shi Qingqian said, Sister Yang smiled and said, "Sister, you are really generous. Let's make another meat dish. I think this meat would be very good as garlic-mashed pork."

Mrs. Zheng nodded in agreement: "Garlic pork is good, it tastes refreshing and not greasy. I'm sure everyone will like it."

So, Sister Yang cut some pork into thin slices and prepared to make garlic pork.

She cut the meat so thinly and evenly that each slice was almost transparent.

Shi Qingqian watched from the side, praising him like crazy: "Sister-in-law, your knife skills are amazing."

Sister Yang smiled and said, "This is all practice. If you cook often, you can also cut so well."

"I can't do that. My hand won't obey me once I hold a kitchen knife."

"Hahaha……"

The three of them continued their work while chatting and laughing.

After cutting the meat, Mrs. Yang put it into the pot, added some ginger slices, green onion segments and cooking wine and started cooking.

"When cooking meat, you must skim off the foam so that the meat won't have a fishy smell," Mrs. Yang said to Shi Qingqian.

Shi Qingqian watched carefully from the side, and followed the method taught by Sister Yang, skimming off the foam with a spoon as soon as she saw it.

Mrs. Zheng had already peeled the potatoes and shredded them. She soaked the shredded potatoes in water to prevent them from oxidizing and turning black, and then started preparing the cucumber salad.

She smashed the cucumber, cut it into small pieces, put it into a bowl, and then began to mince garlic and ginger to prepare the salad dressing.

Sister Yang's meat was already cooked. She took it out and placed it in a bowl to cool naturally. Then she started making the minced garlic. She placed the garlic in a garlic mortar, added a little salt, and pounded it vigorously. "The finer the minced garlic, the better the flavor," Sister Yang said.

After mashing the garlic, Mrs. Yang added soy sauce, vinegar, sugar, chili oil and other seasonings, stirred them evenly, and the garlic juice was ready.

Place the cooled meat slices one by one on a plate, then pour garlic sauce on them, and the garlic pork dish is ready.

Next, Sister Yang started to make minced meat eggplant. She washed the eggplant, cut it into strips, and then sprinkled salt on it to let the water drain out of the eggplant.

Seeing this, Shi Qingqian asked curiously, "Why are you using salt now?"

"Use salt to remove water from the eggplant so it won't absorb too much oil when stir-frying," explained Yang's wife.

"Is that so?" Shi Qingqian nodded, but she just listened to it.

As each dish was completed, the kitchen was filled with all kinds of tempting aromas.

Shi Qingqian began to arrange the dishes one by one.

……

"It smells so good! It seems we are in for a treat tonight."

Men's voices were heard outside the door.

When Shi Qingqian heard the noise, she quickly wiped her hands and said to Sister Yang and Sister Zheng with a smile, "Huai'an and the others must be back. I'll go check them out."

Shi Qingqian opened the door and saw Xu Huaian, Commander Liang, Political Commissar Wen, Chen Chen, Wang Jianguo and a dozen other soldiers she had never seen before standing at the door.

Xu Huaian introduced with a smile: "This is my wife, Comrade Shi Qingqian."

Commander Liang and Political Commissar Wen looked at each other and began to look at Shi Qingqian subtly.

You know what, he does look a bit like that guy.

"Welcome the division commander, political commissar and other comrades to our home. Come in and have a cup of tea. The food will be ready soon," Shi Qingqian said with a smile as she welcomed everyone into the house.

Bring out the brewed tea: "This is the tea I just brewed, everyone try it."

Commander Liang took the tea, smelled the fragrance, and said with a smile: "Well, this tea is good."

Political Commissar Wen also took a sip and said, "Comrade Qingqian is very good at making tea."

Shi Qingqian said a little embarrassedly: "I was just thinking about it, I hope you don't mind."

After saying that, Shi Qingqian continued to work, while Xu Huaian took people to the next door to borrow tables, chairs and benches.

Mrs. Zheng said, "Sister Qingqian, only the winter melon and pork ribs soup is still simmering on low heat, and the other dishes can be served."

Shi Qingqian took a look and said, "Thank you sisters-in-law for your hard work. I'll take the dishes out first."

Carefully prepared dishes are brought from the kitchen to the dining table.
