A powerful country in scientific research

At noon, Zhang Xue saw that it was almost time, so she didn't call Su Ran. She went straight to the kitchen, taking the oil that Su Ran had placed on the table in the morning.

Let Ranran sleep a little longer and she will make lunch.

Entering the kitchen, Zhang Xue put away the previous oil with the lid closed, and put the new oil brought by Su Ran on the seasoning position. The oil in the bottle was flowing, crystal clear, and looked very fresh. Zhang Xue was a little curious about the smell, so she opened the lid and smelled it. The oil was filled with a faint peanut fragrance, which made people salivate. It was really a good thing.

She gently put down the bottle, took out some vegetables and meat from the ingredients that the captain had sent over yesterday, washed and cut them, and started cooking.

The pot is filled with aroma, the meat slices are fried golden and crispy, and the vegetables are brightly colored, which makes people's appetite whet.

Su Ran woke up because she was hungry. When she smelled the aroma coming from the kitchen, her stomach growled.

She stretched lazily, put on her clothes, and walked towards the kitchen step by step. A fragrance came to her nose, and she couldn't help but take a breath, and she felt the hunger in her stomach instantly intensified.

Zhang Xue was cooking the last dish. When she saw Su Ran coming over, she smiled and said, "Ran Ran, you're awake. Sit over there. The dish will be ready soon."

Su Ran smelled the aroma in the air and exclaimed, "This oil is so fragrant."

Zhang Xue: "Yeah, I was shocked when I poured it into the pot. To be honest, I have never tasted such fragrant oil. This kind of oil can only be bought in department stores even in Haishi."

Su Ran walked to Zhang Xue's side, "Sister Zhang Xue, is there anything I can do?"

Zhang Xue stopped her from getting too close, "It's all fumes, stay away, or it'll get all over you. This is my last dish, it will be ready soon, just wait."

Su Ran sat at the dining table, feeling tired, she sighed softly, and waited quietly for Zhang Xue. Not long after, Zhang Xue came over with a plate of fragrant fried cauliflower and put it on the table.

Picking up a piece of vegetable and putting it into his mouth, Su Ran couldn't help but let out an exclamation of praise.

"This dish is so delicious. The vegetables are fried very tender and have a light fragrance." Su Ran picked up a piece of meat and put it in his mouth, and couldn't help but let out a satisfied moan.

"Of course, this is a specialty of my hometown, and I'm the best at making it." Zhang Xue said confidently, picked up another piece of meat and put it in her mouth, chewed it, and nodded with satisfaction.

As if she suddenly remembered something, she continued, "But this oil also deserves a lot of credit. It tastes so good. It's no exaggeration to say that this is the first time I've eaten such delicious oil in my life."

Su Ran curled her lips and said, "It's really good. We will use this oil from now on. We won't need the previous ones."

Zhang Xue nodded excitedly. She thought there was only a small bottle and she didn't dare to use more. Now, hearing what Su Ran said, they would never be short of this oil in the future. Hahahaha, when she thought about eating such delicious oil and such delicious dishes every day in the future, her smile became even bigger.

Su Ran ate the food slowly, feeling the taste on her tongue and the warmth in her stomach. The saying that good people will be rewarded is indeed true. She helped the oil press factory improve the machinery. She was absolutely right. She was so smart!

At the same time, in the educated youth compound of Qinghe Brigade, Zhao Lan, Li Qingyu and Wei Qi were cooking.

The educated youth took turns cooking every day, and today it was the turn of the three of them. When they came back from the oil press factory, they took some oil with them. He Cheng said he wanted to try the taste, and everyone was curious, so they took some back.

Although there are many educated youths in the camp, only a few of them are good at cooking. Most of them can only stir-fry vegetables, and the taste is difficult to guarantee.

Li Qingyu is one of the few people in the educated youth site who can cook delicious food. Today it is her turn to cook. Everyone is very happy. After returning from the fields, they have been looking forward to the meal.

After Li Qingyu and the other two entered the kitchen, a fragrance soon emanated from inside, which was more appetizing than any other time before. The other educated youths silently swallowed their saliva.

Fifteen minutes later, Wei Qi brought the dishes up. The other educated youth felt that these ten minutes were the longest in their lives, and that every second seemed like a year. But now, looking at the delicious dishes, they felt that their wait was worth it.

After Li Qingyu and the other two took their seats, everyone stopped being reserved and reached out to pick up their chopsticks and began to eat with relish.

The stir-fried pork is spicy and delicious, the mapo tofu is spicy and fresh, the stir-fried zucchini is tender and delicious, and the stir-fried greens are refreshing. Each dish exudes an attractive aroma that makes people salivate.

He Cheng and his friends ate dishes that tasted better than usual. They looked at each other, with meaning in their eyes that only the other person could understand.

The other educated youths didn't know about this. They only had one feeling at the moment: the dishes cooked by Li Qingyu today were so delicious, much better than before. They couldn't stop eating! After swallowing the food in their mouths, several educated youths quickly praised Li Qingyu.

"Li Zhiqing, today's dishes are really delicious. Your cooking skills are getting better and better."

"Yes, yes, Li Zhiqing, this Mapo Tofu is so delicious. Let's make it again next time."

"As expected of you, Li Zhiqing, you can even make stir-fried vegetables so delicious! You are truly worthy of being called the Kitchen God at Zhiqing Point."

Li Qingyu picked up the chopsticks slowly, picked up a piece of green vegetables and put it into her mouth, chewing it carefully. She listened to the compliments from everyone around her, but these words were like sharp knives piercing her heart deeply.

She knew clearly that this was not a compliment to her. Although the dishes she cooked today were much tastier than before, it was because she used the oil that Su Ran had improved.

She tried hard to remain calm, forced a smile on her face, and responded stiffly to everyone's compliments.

After dinner, Su Ran digested the food for a while and then returned to the laboratory.

After sleeping for a whole morning, she was now very tired and was ready to continue drawing the blueprint of the washing machine.

She picked up the drawing paper and pen and started drawing.

She was immersed in her own world, painting every detail carefully bit by bit. She seemed to have completely forgotten the time and everything around her, with only the brush in her hand and the drawing in front of her.

At this moment, she heard a knock at the door, which interrupted her train of thought and surprised her. She didn't know who would come to see her, but she still put down the pen in her hand and prepared to open the door.

When I was absorbed in the painting, there was a knock on the door, followed by Zhang Xue's voice, "Expert Su, there is a girl looking for you. Are you available now?"

If there are outsiders around, Zhang Xue usually calls her Expert Su.

Su Ran responded, "Tell her to wait for me in the main room, I'll be out soon."

Zhang Xue: “Okay.” Then the footsteps became farther and farther away, and it seemed that they had left.

Su Ran put away the drawings, tidied her clothes, and then walked out of the laboratory, thinking about who was looking for her as she walked.

In the main room, Li Yun was sitting there in a serious manner, looking very nervous.

As soon as Su Ran entered the main room, she saw a familiar face. She had wheat-colored skin and wore a light yellow dress. Her hair was combed into a small ponytail, and she looked very energetic. Looking at her stiff limbs, Su Ran curled his lips. The little girl was still nervous.

She walked slowly towards the girl. "Comrade Li, you are here." Her voice was soft and charming, as if with a hint of mischief.
