His predecessor failed

Chapter 38 Discharge

It was already afternoon when they finished the discussion. Su Zhuzhu did not stay in the hospital but went to the department store in the county with Lin Wu.

In addition to the things I needed, I also bought two cans of malted milk, two pounds of brown sugar, and some meat and ribs.

After buying things and going back to the hospital to complete the discharge procedures, the four of them drove back to the Red Star Brigade.

Tang Ailing helped Chen Youyi get out of the car and lie down in the cowshed. Su Zhuzhu followed her into the cowshed carrying malted milk, brown sugar, and half of the meat and ribs.

"Uncle Wu, give Aunt Chen some malted milk and spareribs to nourish her body. She just had surgery and needs to rest for a while. Please share the brown sugar and meat with everyone."

Wu Dazhi quickly refused. The medical expenses had not yet been paid back to Su Zhuzhu, so how could he take Su Zhuzhu's things?

"Uncle Wu, take it. I can afford this. Just hide it. Don't let the villagers see it. Take it quickly. The total medical expenses are 72 yuan. Here is the bill. I will take it. Otherwise, you will feel bad. But don't worry. Pay me back when you have more money. We are all here. There is no rush. Uncle Wu, believe me, hold on. The day when you can go back will definitely come."

Su Zhuzhu pushed the things into Wu Dazhi's arms, motioning him to take them in quickly. There were many things that could not be said, and no one would believe them if they were said. She could only cheer everyone up. If they could hold on for another year or so, those people in the cowshed would be able to return to their posts.

After explaining some precautions to Aunt Chen, Su Zhuzhu and Lin Wu returned to the Youth League Institute.

Su Zhuzhu came back early today and took over the cooking job. Su Zhuzhu felt bad for leaving He's mother here alone these days, and Lin Wu followed her around every day, so Su Zhuzhu planned to make something delicious for everyone for dinner.

First, clean the snails that have spit out all the mud and sand, and then cut off their tails with scissors. This is a strenuous job, and Lin Wu took it over.

Su Zhuzhu was busy rubbing the mucus off the loaches that she had raised for a few days with salt, then scalding them with boiling water and scooping them up to drain them.

I secretly took out a large piece of lean meat from the space and sliced ​​it, preparing to make boiled pork slices. Anyway, I bought meat today, so I wasn't afraid of someone asking about it.

Looking at the fish bucket, there was a big male fish. Su Zhuzhu killed the fish skillfully, chopping it into two halves three fingers below the head. She rubbed salt on the fish body and marinated it for tomorrow, and used the fish head to make soup.

I cut a bowl of green and red peppers each. These dishes are all spicy, so I cannot do without peppers. I also prepared a lot of onions, ginger, garlic, and fermented black beans, and washed two loofahs and half a basket of green vegetables.

Today, Lin Wu took over He's mother's job to help light the fire. Su Zhuzhu simmered the rice and seeing that it was almost five o'clock, she prepared to start cooking.

Make the spicy iron snails first, and let them sit for a while so that they can absorb the flavor and not get cold.

Boil some water and cook the snails for a while, then wash them with clean water and remove the snail caps. Heat oil in a pan, sauté the minced ginger and garlic until fragrant, then pour in the snails, sprinkle a handful of fermented black beans and stir-fry together, then add boiling water to cover the snails and simmer together, then season, pour some of the cooking wine that was pre-packaged from the space into the pot to remove the fishy smell, and add salt and soy sauce to season.

When the fragrance emanated from the pot, Su Zhuzhu ran out of the kitchen, and came back in a few minutes later with a handful of basil in her hand. She just remembered that she had seen a lot of wild basil in the backyard before, which was just right for cooking, especially for making spicy snails. She picked a handful of tender leaves, washed and chopped them, and added half a bowl of green and red peppers to the pot, and sprinkled the basil leaves in. When the soup became thick, she served it out and put it on the table first. The snails tasted better after being soaked in the soup, and you could suck it all up with your mouth.

Next, wash the pot and fry the loaches. Fry a whole large pot of them. Heat oil in another pot and sauté scallions, ginger, garlic and chili peppers. Add the loaches, season with pepper salt and chili powder, stir well and sprinkle with a handful of chopped green onions. Pour the mixture into a large pot and let Lin Wu eat while he is making a fire.

Hurry up and fry the fish head, pour in boiling water and simmer until the soup is milky white, add perilla leaves and salt for seasoning, sprinkle with chopped green onions and serve.

Boiled pork slices are also quick to make, with loofah as the base. The aroma of chili powder fills the air as the hot oil is added. Finally, a plate of green vegetables is stir-fried. There are meat, vegetables and soup, which is perfect.

If you ask when Lin Wu is happiest, it is when he is eating, especially when he is eating the food cooked by Su Zhuzhu.

Four people and five dishes made Liu Yuanyuan sigh. Su Zhuzhu really knows how to live. Even the landlord's family wouldn't dare to eat like this. Fortunately, both of them are in good conditions. The food tastes so good. It would be a big loss if they don't eat more. Apart from being too tired from work, Liu Yuanyuan feels that this life cannot be compared with that in the city. But if she is tired from work, she can just take it easy. At most, she can spend money to buy food. Her family didn't expect her to support herself in the countryside. They sent money and tickets on time every month.

Everyone was conquered by the spicy iron snails. They were spicy, fragrant and slurped up. The soup was so delicious that it felt like it was missing a lot of flavor if you didn’t sip it.

Lin Wu was the best at eating. He was able to suck out the snail meat after Su Zhuzhu demonstrated it once. Except for occasionally failing to suck it out, He's mother could also feel the charm of the spicy iron snails. Only Liu Yuanyuan couldn't wash it out no matter how hard she tried. So Su Zhuzhu found a pair of bamboo chopsticks and tore off a small bamboo stick for her to poke the meat out and eat.

Everyone was noisily carrying out the "Clean Plate" campaign. Lin Wu planned to catch crayfish and snails when he had time in the next few days, taking the opportunity to eat a few more meals so that he could show off to Brother Qiao Jin when he got back.

After dinner, Su Zhuzhu paid the medical expenses that Lin Wu had helped to advance, counted out a hundred yuan and handed it to Lin Wu. After all, the jeep had to be refueled every day, and a hundred yuan might not be enough.

Lin Wu refused to take it, so Su Zhuzhu pretended to be angry and took it. But one thing is for one thing, Su Zhuzhu had to give the money. This was a matter between her and Uncle Wu and the others. She couldn't let Lin Wu pay for the visit alone. It would be unacceptable, not to mention running around for her to help.

After being busy for the past few days and showing off a beautiful meal, everyone washed up and went to bed early in the evening.
