Chapter 183: Chapter 0183 Meeting with the Leader 3_1

Feng Qingxue bought some other items, primarily vegetables, with only a few fruits, spending a significant amount of money and coupons. After buying all the stuff, she returned to the guesthouse, borrowed a basin from the waitress, filled it with water, and kept the crucian carp in it. When she left again, she only carried the pig’s trotters, pork knuckles, and a large chunk of streaky pork.

Yes, she bought a small piece of streaky pork, but what she took out was a large piece of streaky pork, retrieved from her personal space.

Given the enormous appetites of men like Lu Jiang and Niu Yibao, a small piece of meat was barely enough to get stuck between their teeth.

Although it was hot outside and Feng Qingxue seldom ate meat, are there any men who don’t enjoy meat?

Moreover, the lack of oiliness did not bother anyone, regardless of the season.

Handing over the prepared vegetables and some grains to the canteen chef, Feng Qingxue said, "Master chef, please cook the pig’s trotters. I will come to collect them at noon. We will use the bone broth for noodles in the evening."

"Oh, such a large piece of meat!" The chef hadn’t seen a chunk of streaky pork this good in a long time. It’s excellent for making braised pork.

Feng Qingxue smiled and said, "May I trouble you to cut a piece to stir-fry at noon and preserve the rest for eating in a couple of days."

This chunk of streaky pork weighed almost three to four jin. If she finished it all at once, she would be scolded for wastefulness.

She discovered while shopping for vegetables that many city residents bought meat by the liang. Some ordered two liang of meat, some one liang. A small strip like that could be stir-fried into a large bowl of vegetables, causing much envy among those who could not afford meat.

The chef nodded, "No problem, I’ll stir fry the rest with oil and salt. It won’t go bad for several days."

On the mention of oil and salt, she pretended to fetch something from her bag but actually fetched a jar of peanut oil and fine salt, along with a small bottle of five-spice powder from her personal space. After some thought, she also took out a bottle of vinegar and a bottle of soy sauce. The containers were all prepared beforehand to match the era. "Then, please put master chef. Please make me a cucumber salad with the cucumbers. Deal with the other vegetables as you see fit."

The chef was overjoyed as if he had found a treasure.

As a seasoned chef, he always lacked oil and salt in the kitchen. Usually, he had to collect oil coupons from hospital staff who ordered food. And this wasn’t just about him; such was the case in all units’ canteens. As a result, he could never fully showcase his culinary skills.

A good chef is helpless without ingredients!

The chef then patted his chest and assured Feng Qingxue, "Don’t worry, dear. I will certainly prepare a delicious meal for you!"

Feng Qingxue thanked him, then carried the leftover cucumbers and some less attractive fruits to Lu Jiang’s ward. En route, she washed the cucumbers and fruits. However, as soon as she entered the door, she saw several people sitting in the ward.

"I’m sorry, I interrupted everyone!" Feng Qingxue exited the ward and looked up, confirming that she was indeed in Lu Jiang’s ward.

She peeked inside again and saw Lu Jiang sitting half-upright against the pillows, smiling at her. Apparently, his laughter had rattled some wound, and he swiftly grimaced in pain, inhaling sharply.

"What’s wrong? What’s wrong?" Feng Qingxue quickly approached and asked with concern.

"I’m fine." Lu Jiang eased his pain a bit, "Qingxue, let me introduce you. The older and robust one is our Major General Ye. The one younger than Major General Ye but older than me is Colonel Zhao. And the studious one is Political Commissar Zheng."

What? The leadership team is visiting Lu Jiang?

Feng Qingxue had never seen such high-ranking military officers in her past or present lives. She hurriedly greeted, "Hello Major General Ye, Colonel Zhao, Political Commissar Zheng. I must have made a fool of myself just now. Here, leaders, have some fruits I’ve just bought and washed."
