Baiyue Cave Master

The grassland in Wang Yuanchao's space has a time ratio of 10:1 to the outside world, and the temperature is constant.

Wang Yuanchao estimated that the wet firewood placed here should dry up overnight.

So at this time, Wang Yuanchao definitely didn't think about how much firewood to pick up. He just wanted to pick up all the firewood on the ground and put it into the space.

It was a pity that Wang Yuanchao went up the mountain a little late. In the evening, Wang Yuanchao had to invite several village cadres to dinner. He looked at the time and it was 5:10. Wang Yuanchao had only picked up less than half of the branches on the top of the mountain, so he had to go down the mountain to cook.

However, Wang Yuanchao estimated that the firewood in the space would last at least half a year, right?

In fact, everyone knows the principle of living off the land. In this era of material scarcity, people will only try their best to obtain more materials.

The villagers in the village would naturally think of going to the mountains to find something to eat.

Once wild fruits and vegetables appear on the outer mountains, they will be swept away by adults and children in the village within a few days when the mountains are suitable for walking.

The outer area of ​​the Red Flag Brigade Mountain is visited countless times by other people every spring, and by then there is basically nothing left to eat.

Wang Yuanchao returned to the educated youth site carrying a bundle of firewood. While washing rice and cooking, he thought that he should go up the mountain to look for supplies more often before the team started spring plowing.

There were at least five grown men having dinner. Wang Yuanchao used two kilograms of rice and two kilograms of sweet potatoes to cook sweet potato rice.

Wang Yuanchao actually likes eating sweet potatoes very much. Although eating too much sweet potatoes can cause heartburn, sweet potatoes are anti-cancer and have many benefits.

After scooping out a bowl of boiling rice soup, put the chopped sweet potatoes into the rice soup and cook them together with the rice.

When the rice was cooked, the rice crusts and sweet potato rice filled two large bowls.

When starting to cook, Wang Yuanchao uses the method of Hunan home-style cooking, which is basically stir-frying. After the dishes are cooked, they are appetizing at first glance, and they are fresh, fragrant, spicy and tasty, and go very well with rice.

I cooked braised pork ribs, stir-fried celery with millet peppers, stir-fried cabbage, spicy and sour fern, and pork ribs stewed with potatoes.

After the meal is ready, pour cold water into a large iron pot and heat it up for bathing after the meal, and keep the meal warm on the stove.

Wang Yuanchao locked the gate of the educated youth site and went straight to the village brigade headquarters. When he arrived at the brigade headquarters, he happened to be stuck at the time when work was almost over, and several village cadres were there.

"Secretary Zeng, Captain, Captain Liu, Director Yang, I have prepared dinner for dinner.

We agreed to have a couple of drinks together tonight, why don't we leave now?"

When Secretary Zeng saw the imposing Wang Yuanchao walking into the brigade with a smile on his face, he also said with a smile on his face:

"Okay, Wang Zhiqing, wait a moment. I'll go see if the captain and the others are ready."

After a while, the team leader and several other village cadres came out together, and Wang Yuanchao led everyone to the educated youth site.

"Secretary Zeng, team leader, team leader Liu, Director Yang, there are no tables at the educated youth center yet, so please forgive me for having this meal on the stove."

"Haha, Wang Zhiqing, you don't have to be so polite. This is good. We country folk have been carrying big bowls and running around to eat since we were young."

Wang Yuanchao smiled, distributed the bowls and chopsticks to several village cadres, and then walked into the room and took out the two bottles of Erguotou he had bought.

He placed a small bowl in front of each person, and then began to pour wine for each person. After the wine was poured, Wang Yuanchao raised the small bowl and said:

"I would like to thank the leaders for taking care of me, an outsider educated youth. From the moment I entered our village, I felt everyone's enthusiasm, just like I was back home.

This bowl of wine is for everyone, come on, cheers."

"Come, let's welcome Wang Zhiqing, who has come to our village to support our rural development without fear of hardship or difficulty. Cheers."

"Welcome, Wang Zhiqing. Come, cheers."

After taking a sip of white wine, everyone was slightly tipsy. Under the influence of alcohol, Wang Yuanchao and several village cadres ate and drank while chatting. They quickly deepened their understanding of each other and their relationship became closer.

"Well, Wang Zhiqing's cooking skills are no worse than those of the chefs in state-owned restaurants and large factories.

Hiss~, although this dish is a little spicy, it tastes spicy and tasty when it enters the mouth.

This is quite spicy. My tongue seems to be dancing now. But the more I eat, the more I want to eat. It tastes better and better.

Wang Zhiqing, this dish is cooked in your hometown, right? Mm, it’s really delicious.”

"Yes, I just came here, and I don't know how to cook northern dishes.

This dish is made using the method from my hometown.

The cuisine of my hometown is also very famous, Hunan cuisine is one of the eight major cuisines in China.”

"Hiss~, it's too spicy. Come on, Wang Zhiqing, Secretary Zeng, everyone, let's have another bite.

Good food goes well with good wine. The potatoes are dipped in the sauce from the pork ribs. It's so delicious.

Today, thanks to Wang Zhiqing, we have really benefited.”

"Haha, that's the spiciness, Captain. You probably have never eaten anything spicy before, so you think it's so spicy.

I usually like to eat chili peppers, and I think the spiciness of today's dish is just right. Mm, it's delicious.

Come, let’s have a bite.”

"Okay, come on, let's have a drink."

Wang Yuanchao didn't prepare much wine today. Two bottles of Erguotou together didn't even reach three kilograms.

The five grown men could only drink five taels of wine each at most, and the wine was gone just when they were getting into the mood, so they were all a little unsatisfied.

However, the food cooked by Wang Yuanchao received unanimous praise from everyone.

Wang Yuanchao invited us to dinner today, and the standard of hospitality was quite high.

It can be said that this is a very high standard in this era, with two meat dishes and three vegetable dishes, plus sweet potatoes and rice, and plenty of oil and water.

Even though they were all village cadres with a lot of outside experience, they all felt that Wang Yuanchao's dinner was very generous and they couldn't find any fault with it.

However, the men in Northeast China are generally chauvinistic and love to drink. They like to beat their wives and children after drinking. They like to brag and are easily influenced.

The two bottles of wine prepared by Wang Yuanchao did not satisfy everyone, but everyone enjoyed the meal.

Not only was the food on the stove eaten up by everyone, but even the oil and soup in the dishes were mixed with rice and eaten up completely.

After several village cadres had their fill and drank their fill, they sat in a row on the steps in the yard of the educated youth site and began chatting, taking advantage of the alcohol.

Most of the conversations were about the village's daily lives, and Wang Yuanchao sat nearby as a companion, using the small talk as a way for him to understand the situation in the village.

After everyone chatted for a while, Secretary Zeng realized that everyone was just chatting among themselves and ignored Wang Yuanchao, so he asked:

"Wang Zhiqing, you are an intellectual from the city, you must be more knowledgeable than us who are struggling to make a living in the mud. Can you tell me about our Red Flag Brigade?"
