In the kitchen, Cheng Xue transformed into a master chef, patiently and meticulously teaching the foremen how to make pies.
From kneading the noodles to adjusting the stuffing, every step was done in detail, for fear that what I said was unclear and they would not understand. The big pot not only cooked the cakes quickly, but it was also able to hold more than ten pancakes at a time, and the three big pots pancaked them together.
, a pot can be baked in an instant.
"...Things like cabbage vermicelli with vegetarian fillings don't need to be baked for too long. Remember to pay attention to the heat and don't burn the pot. Beef, radish and meat fillings need some time, otherwise you will easily get diarrhea if you eat them half-cooked. In fact, there is no need to make pasta.
It’s not troublesome, you can roll out the dumplings with seven or eight ingredients at the same time, it’s quick.”
Cheng Xue is not a professional cook, but she has seen how Yu Niang and Bai Shao cook. They are not only fast but also good. Two people can roll out dumplings for six or seven people, which is very fast.
While talking and working, the foremen listened carefully and also started to practice. Their main task this time was to learn to cook.
Since the new coach took office, they have been scolded for eating three meals a day with midnight snacks. Now the coach has given an ultimatum. If they do that again, the entire kitchen camp will be subject to military law.
In the past, Mr. Su had made such a request, but it was just talk and not taken seriously. After all, he ate alone and never with them, so everyone was confused. But it is no longer possible. The current coach eats three meals a day.
They ate with the soldiers without hesitation, so that all their shortcomings were exposed, and they were scolded or waiting to be scolded every day.
"Mrs. Li, how do you tell whether the meat filling is cooked or not?" asked the little leader of the gangtou soldiers.
This matter is very important. If the brothers in the military camp are fed up with vomiting and diarrhea, their heads will not be needed.
Now I have learned almost everything about making noodles and adjusting fillings. I must not miss the last shudder.
Just as the cake dough with vegetarian filling was finished, Cheng Xue put the meat filling into the pot, and when the center puffed up, gently pressed it with a spatula——
"Look, if it swells up here, it means it's done. But to be on the safe side, you can turn it back and forth a few times before taking it out of the pan."
While we were talking, a pot of meat-filled pies was coming out one after another. The heat was controlled just right, and both sides were golden brown, which made your taste buds tantalize.
"You guys eat first. When you're full, send it to the other side of the mountain while it's hot. You have to eat in a war. You can't go hungry."
When the soldiers heard this, no one was polite. They picked up the pie with chopsticks and put it into their mouths. Cheng Xue and Bai Zhi looked at the three large pots, which were frying the pancakes at the same time, and the speed was not slow at all.
While he was busy, Wen Xi's voice came from the yard——
"Yongxi, please slow down and don't disturb me."
The sound was loud and everyone in the kitchen heard it. Li Heng and Li Tian dropped the firewood in their hands at the same time and ran out. Cheng Xue also handed the shovel to the leader of the gang leader and ran out. The three mothers arrived.
In the yard, when she saw the dark-faced man Yong Xi was carrying on his back, Cheng Xue felt her head buzz and explode.
If she hadn't gritted her teeth and pinched the soft part of her waist, she would have fainted right now.
"father--"
"What's wrong, dad?"
Li Heng and Li Tian ran forward while asking, just like when they saw Guo Dake carrying Li Hui home. But at that time, the children were all crying, but now they can calm down their emotions and not get into trouble.
Outside the door, Li Yue and Yan Yixin also ran back quickly.
Cheng Xue finally adjusted herself. When she saw everyone in the kitchen coming out, she hurriedly urged them to go back and look at the pot and pancakes.
After a lot of work, Li Hui was placed on the kang in the front room. Cheng Xue rolled up her sleeves and began to check. Apart from the fact that the person was unconscious, there were no other problems, not even a wound.
But why is he unconscious?
Just when she was wondering, Yongxi and Wenxi knelt on the ground with a "pop-" sound.
"I have neglected my duty, please punish me, madam."
Cheng Xue stared at the man with closed eyes, frowned slightly and said:
"The punishment is not urgent. How is the situation on the mountain now?"
"Back to Madam, the situation on the mountain has been completely controlled. Commander Xiao is leading people to count the property seized in the village." Wen Xi replied.
Yongxi was unconvinced and said with a cold "hum":
"If our master hadn't sacrificed his life and rushed up the mountain with the cannonball, I'm afraid it would be difficult for the troops stationed in the north to attack it now. It's obviously a matter for the military camp, but our master has to do it. Madam Mingjian, his subordinates and Wen Xi all stopped the master and said
We can do it ourselves, but the master doesn’t agree. If Master Wen hadn’t been by his side at all times, the consequences would have been disastrous..."
Yongxi, who has always been calm and capable, has become a resentful woman for the first time today. Cheng Xue can understand his mood, and of course understands Li Hui's persistence. He is a soldier, and the artillery ball has such a long lead, plus the suppression of bandits is another matter.
He pushed forward forcefully, and he did it himself without asking others to help, which was what she expected.
Listening to Yong Xi's "accusatory" explanation of what happened on the mountain, Cheng Xue breathed a sigh of relief and felt completely relieved.
"Okay, okay, how the troops stationed in the North suppress the bandits is not what we should worry about. You two are worried about me, I understand. Don't worry, he is fine, he just passed away and will be fine when he wakes up. There is no injury on his body.
Checked him out."
When the two of them heard this, they both breathed a sigh of relief. It's good that everything is fine. If there was an accident, it would be difficult for the wolf leader to explain to his master.
Li Yue brought the wet handkerchief over, and Cheng Xue took it smoothly.
"Tiedan, you go with Wenxi and the others to the foot of the mountain to have a look, and pick up your master on the way. Tangtang takes Tiantian to the kitchen. The pies haven't been baked yet, so you need to keep an eye on them. Tell the soldiers left behind to send food to the mountain.
.Yixin goes and looks at some Sidan, I can just do it myself here."
After some arrangements, the room that was lively just now became quiet in an instant.
When the door closed, Cheng Xue took a handkerchief and prepared to wipe her face with her eyes closed. Unexpectedly, before she touched her face, she opened her eyes. Then he stood up and kissed her on the face.
"She has to be my wife. You can tell at a glance that I'm faking it."
"I didn't see it, but I just felt it was strange and wanted to send them away to think of something else."
The sound of the conversation between the two was very low, and she kept stirring the water with her handkerchief. Even if someone leaned against the window to listen, nothing could be heard.
"What's going on? Why are you pretending to be faint?"
"I can't help but pretend. I don't want to know the real thing in Mopan Mountain. If I know, I will be silenced easily." After Li Hui finished speaking, he took the handkerchief from her hand and wiped the black ash from his face.
He had a lot of actual combat experience in his previous life, and the tools he used in the army were much more sophisticated than the black ball. As long as he was fast enough, he would not be hit at all.
It's all just for show.
"What do you mean, there is something unknown on the mountain?"
Li Hui nodded, wrung out the handkerchief and continued wiping his face, saying:
"During this period, I paid close attention to the accounts of the northern state capital. In addition to the population decline and serious loss, the output of iron ore was not much."
