Quickly wear the boss and don’t be cannon fodder

There was no time to cook during the busy harvest season, so the team finally decided to select a few people to cook for the big pot, which would save time and improve efficiency.

Because of his good cooking skills, Su Yan was selected as one of the candidates recommended by the educated youth point.

In fact, Zhao Qin and Wu Xia also wanted this position. After all, cooking is much easier than working in the fields.

But when it came time to vote, everyone voted for Su Yan.

If nothing else, just because of her good cooking skills.

A total of four people were selected from the team to cook, two aunts, one surnamed Wang and the other surnamed Liu, both around 40 years old.

There is also a lame Uncle Li, who is actually a carpenter in the village. Because of his inconvenient legs and feet, the brigade allows him to do some carpentry work to make money.

It is the busy farming season and everyone has to go to work, so Uncle Li was finally assigned to cook.

During the busy farming season, people usually get up at five o'clock and go to work at half past five.

Breakfast was also eaten in the temporary canteen in the threshing ground. Everyone worked for two hours from 5:30 to 7:30, then had breakfast, and then continued working until noon.

There is an hour for lunch and rest at noon, and then work continues.

As long as it is not dark, everyone has to continue working. This is a race against time. It is not like usual when you can leave after completing the day's tasks. During the busy farming season, everyone is overloaded to complete the tasks.

Everyone is working and supervising each other. If you take a break for one minute longer, people around you will remind you. If you don't listen, they will definitely report you to the team leader.

Su Yan used to cook a pot of herbal tea every day. Now that she was cooking for the group, she decided to cook the herbal tea in the threshing ground so that everyone could drink it and she didn’t have to cook it alone.

When the bell rings in the morning, you have to get up no matter how sleepy or tired you are.

When there was important work to do, Su Yan never slept in. She quickly got up, washed, put on her hat and cross-body bag, and walked towards the threshing ground.

When Su Yan arrived, Aunt Wang had just arrived.

"Young educated youth Su came early today."

Su Yan smiled and said, "Come early and prepare early."

While putting their personal belongings away, the two began to skillfully look for ingredients to prepare breakfast.

Su Yan filled a basket with sweet potatoes. She first washed the sweet potatoes, peeled them and cut them into pieces, and then cooked sweet potato porridge.

Aunt Wang was also quick. She washed and soaked the rice to be cooked, and then went to get the pickled vegetables.

After picking up the pickled vegetables, we also need to steam the steamed buns.

Breakfast is usually cooked by two people. Today it was Su Yan and Aunt Wang who cooked. As for Aunt Liu and Uncle Li, they went to the fields to pick vegetables, which were the ingredients for lunch and dinner.

Cut the sweet potatoes, add water, and cook the rice and sweet potatoes.

Steam the coarse flour steamed bread on another stove. When the porridge is cooked, the steamed bread will be ready.

The pickled vegetables are also bought from several households in the village who make a lot of pickled vegetables, and all of these are paid through public accounts.

After the sweet potato porridge was ready, Aunt Liu and Uncle Li came back each carrying a basket of vegetables.

The brigade paid for these vegetables and bought them from the members' homes.

After putting the dishes in order, the four of them had breakfast.

Wait, they still have to prepare meals for the members, but there is no time to eat.

By the time they finished eating, it was almost time.

Members bring their own bowls and chopsticks and line up here one by one.

Aunt Wang distributes steamed bread, Su Yan makes porridge, and Uncle Li prepares pickled vegetables. The quantities are all fixed, and you can't just eat as much as you want.

Breakfast is very simple and can be finished in about fifteen minutes. After eating, everyone washes their own dishes and puts them on the temporary dish rack here.

After the members finish their meal and go to work, the four of them start to get busy again.

After washing and cutting the vegetables, they also have to help turn over the wheat in the threshing floor. Don't think that they can just sit back and do nothing after washing the vegetables.

If I have time, I have to help turn the wheat.

In order to ensure that everyone eats well, the team is willing to spend money to ensure that there is at least one meat dish every day.

Uncle Li, who drove the ox cart, brought them more than ten pounds of pork bones and more than thirty pounds of pork offal early in the morning.

This was Su Yan's request, mainly because pig offal was cheap. Although the team was willing to pay for it, on average, the daily food expenses were really not much.

It’s actually not easy to have a meat dish.

After all, there are about 10 people in their production team, and the average living expenses of yuan a day is really not much.

The task of cleaning the large intestine fell on Su Yan. She first poured some edible salt and flour into it and cleaned it.

Then continue to wash it with green onions and flour, wash it twice on both sides, and tear off the excess intestinal oil.

Finally, soak it in rice water for a few minutes and it will be almost clean. Rinse it with clean water again.

Aunt Wang, who was watching Su Yan's steps, couldn't help but sigh, "You city people are so particular. How much flour must be wasted."

Su Yan smiled and said, "It's not much actually. Once you taste it, you'll know that half a pound of flour is worth it."

Su Yan planned to throw the intestinal oil to the chickens or fish, but Aunt Wang thought it was a pity and wanted to take it home to make oil.

Su Yan: "This oil doesn't taste good, so forget it."

Aunt Wang doesn’t think it’s bad, she just feels bad when she doesn’t have anything to eat.

"What's the big deal? I'll go back and clean them thoroughly. They'll all be the same when boiled."

"Haha, just be happy."

Su Yan was the one who made the dish of stir-fried large intestines, and the oil he used was the fragrant oil that had just been boiled from the fat meat he bought yesterday.

When the members who had not yet finished work came to deliver rice, they smelled the fragrance here. Normally, they would not get hungry so quickly, but now they felt extremely hungry.

When the educated youth smelled the fragrance, the only thought in their minds was that they had made the right choice to choose Su Yan to cook.

Even Zhao Qin, who was very unconvinced, was speechless now.

For lunch, we had stir-fried pork intestines, pork ribs and radish soup, and stir-fried lotus root.

Of course, pickled vegetables are also a must for every meal.

During lunch, the members ran especially fast.

When they ate the stir-fried pork intestines and saw the greasy texture, the team leader wanted to curse the waste.

But after tasting it, he swallowed these words silently.

In fact, all you have to say is that they didn't spend much money on this meal. After all, pig intestines are cheap, and compared to meat, the price-performance ratio is very high.

There is also a fragrant bone soup, which makes me feel full of energy after eating it.

Aunt Wang spared no effort to promote Su Yan and even said that she was smart to ask Uncle Li to buy pig offal early in the morning. She originally thought that she was trying to save money, but she didn't expect that she could actually make this dish that is not inferior to pork.

Lu Changqing and Liu Hongjun wanted to rely on their friendship as educated youth and asked Su Yan to give them more dishes. However, Su Yan completely ignored their hints and gave everyone the same amount.

Her hand is the ruler, no one can eat more.
