Chen Fan lived in the countryside when he was a child, and did not return to the city until he was six or seven years old to go to elementary school.

He was sure that what Captain Yang's family had at home was definitely not the wine he bought at the supply and marketing cooperative, but the loose wine brewed at home in the countryside.

In those days, there were no private distilleries, and all liquor was sold by the supply and marketing cooperatives.

However, the more people do heavy physical work, the more they like to smoke and drink.

Workers in the city can also buy the cheapest 8 cents a pack of "economy" brand cigarettes (5 cents in some places) and play 5 cents a pound of "loose white".

However, the members of the rural community could not even afford these cents and cents, and they did not have the conditions to travel long distances to buy them, so they tried to "produce them for their own use".

I grow my own tobacco leaves, roast them and smoke them myself, and some even smoke dead leaves, just to get a good time. Like finding food by yourself and brewing liquor to drink by yourself, these are all small operations.

Of course, not everyone knows how to make wine, and those who can't make wine and want to drink it have to go to nearby villagers who can make wine to buy and drink.

This kind of home-brewed wine is much cheaper than the supply and marketing cooperatives, only two or three cents a catty.

It is impossible for farmers to have testing instruments, and whether the wine is brewed well depends on experience, and the quality is naturally uneven. If it is brewed well, the taste is better than the supply and marketing cooperative's one or two yuan a pound of wine, if it is not brewed well, methanol poisoning understands!

So, how dare Chen Fan drink Captain Yang's wine? When people run out of drinks, they wear them back?

If he really could, he would have thought, but he wouldn't dare to bet.

Without waiting for Captain Yang to speak, Chen Fan lifted the basket and said, "Captain, there are two bowls here, which are prepared for Accountant Liu and Huang Safekeeping, where are their homes?" I'll send them over. ”

Captain Yang waved his hand, "Xiaomei Xiaolan, you go and send it." ”

The two girls immediately picked up one by one and ran out cautiously.

Chen Fan looked at it, this is the rhythm of not letting go?

There was no way, he could only not even take care of the two bowls, and dropped a sentence, "Captain, you eat, I'll go back." ”

As he spoke, he turned around and ran out, but Captain Yang couldn't pull it, so he got out smoothly.

At this time, the sky was already dark, and he strode forward wrapped in a cotton jacket, and returned to the educated youth compound in a few minutes.

If you don't close the courtyard door during the day, you still have to close it at night, right?

Chen Fan closed the door and plugged in the deadbolt, walked to the kitchen to take a look, and couldn't help but collapse his face, "If you don't wait, why don't you listen to persuasion, aren't you afraid that Captain Yang will pull me to eat with him?" I guess it's all cold. ”

Jiang Lili was sitting at the table, holding her chin with both hands, and she didn't know what she was thinking, when she saw him coming back, she immediately got up and stood up, reached out and touched the casserole, and lowered her head embarrassedly, "I'll heat it up." ”

The temperature is low in winter, and the soft-shelled turtle pot that was steaming just now only has a few temperatures left, although it is not yet completely cold, but the fishy smell in the dish is a lot heavier.

Chen Fan was also polite, "You add some water to the pot, just steam it just like just now." By the way, is there water in the urn? ”

As he spoke, he put down the basket and walked over to open the lid of the urn, which was full of water, but unfortunately it was cold.

The two of them lit a fire and scooped water to steam the grid.

Although today is the first day they have known each other, it is as if they have lived together for several years.

After the lid of the pot was covered and the fire in the stove was burning, Jiang Lili asked, "Why don't you just cook it?" ”

Cooking directly is much faster than steaming.

Chen Fan smiled and shook his head, "If you don't have a casserole, forget it, since there is a casserole, don't use a big pot, the big pot has to cook rice, and even the rice has the flavor of soft-shelled turtle, which is not very delicious." ”

"Oh."

Jiang Lili nodded suddenly, and then didn't know what to say.

She watched the fire in the stove shine on Chen Fan's face, reflecting her handsome face red, like a fire cloud at night, illuminating the evening sky.

I didn't feel a little stupid for a while.

Chen Fan stuffed a straw handle into the stove, and the blazing fire hit his face, which stimulated his skin and hurt hotly, so he quickly poked it in with a burning stick, got up and walked aside.

Jiang Lili came back to her senses at this time, quickly lowered her head, and then saw the empty baskets, and suddenly thought of the bowls, "Didn't you bring the bowls back?" ”

Bowls are an important asset, you can deliver food, but you can't!

Chen Fan turned his head and smiled, "Oh, Captain Yang has to pull me to drink, I don't want to drink, so I simply didn't take the bowl, I ran back first, Accountant Liu and Huang Custodian were sent over with the help of Captain Yang's two daughters." It's okay, I'll pick it up tomorrow. ”

After finishing speaking, he suddenly noticed that Jiang Lili seemed a little awkward.

Is it lonely for too long and won't get along with people?

But it doesn't matter, chatting is our strength, working in a small company, especially as a supervisor, you must be an all-rounder, you can get the technology, talk about the business, and you can also report and manage, how to do things without a little eloquence?

Chen Fan sat down on the chair and chatted hard.

What is life like here? Is there anything else besides farming? Do you know that young people usually only work, and are there any other programs?

After chatting for a while, the steam was already boiling in the small kitchen, and seeing that it was almost over, Chen Fan added another handful of cotton stalks, sealed the stove door, and boiled the urn jar water with the remaining fire.

Jiang Lili was busy bringing the food to the table again, and then, let's eat!

"Hmm, it's delicious."

After only taking the first bite, Jiang Lili's eyes lit up, "I didn't expect the soft-shelled turtle to be so delicious." ”

Chen Fan took two small bowls, filled two bowls of soup, and handed one over, "Try it." ”

Jiang Lili carefully held the edge of the bowl, leaned over and blew first, and then took a small sip, her two eyes quickly bent into a crescent shape, "It's delicious!" ”

"Eat more if it's delicious."

Chen Fan was also hungry at this time, so he picked up the bowl and dried the rice.

Eat without saying or sleeping, and hold back your words when you are cooking.

The two of them tried hard to eat, but in the end they only ate a little more than half of the meat.

In fact, there are a lot, the meat rate of soft-shelled turtles is about 60 percent, this big soft-shelled turtle can almost have 15 or 6 catties, and the meat is about 10 catties, without adding any side dishes, stewed in such a big pot, even if they sent half of them to Captain Yang, the rest still has 5 or 6 catties.

It is equivalent to two people eating more than three catties, even if there is no oil and water in this meat, it is enough. Not to mention two large bowls of rice and two bowls of soup.

Eat and drink enough, what do you do next?

Dishwashing, of course!

Jiang Lili resolutely refused to let Chen Fan do it, and Chen Fan could only lose 1 point of housework experience points.

Sitting on the chair, watching her neatly clean up the dishes and chopsticks, and put the casserole lid into the cupboard, he was about to speak, when he suddenly heard a "ding" in his head, and the next second, a new prompt sounded.

"You have eaten a nutritious dinner, your physique has been improved, and your current physique is +1, and your current physique is 8/10."

An unprecedented warm current quickly flowed through the body, and all the tiredness was swept away.

Chen Fanren was stunned, I worked so hard to carry water, so I increased my physique a little, and now I eat a meal of soft-shelled turtle meat, just increase it a little?

So nutrition is more important than exercise, right?
