Chapter 139 The Summer Solstice
Xia Zhi came out of the brigade with a slightly gloomy face.
She thought that the matter of Director He had long been over, but she didn't expect that the other party actually had a back-up plan.
It seems that the other party should have been deploying it a long time ago, otherwise it would not be too late or too early. It just happened that when the report letter came out, Zhou Zhengan's marriage report was also gone, as if it was a chain trap.
But the two of them are too weak now, and they have no ability to compete with Director He.
Seriously speaking, she implicated Zhou Zhengan.
There was no such thing in her previous life. Of course, she was not in the Sixth Brigade in her previous life. She didn't expect to encounter such a thing in this life.
Turned to the cooperative.
Zhou Zhengan was guarding the boundary marker there. It was easy to imagine that there was little food and drink in that place. Supplies were only delivered once every half a month or a month.
Thinking about Zhou Zhengan's problem, I'm afraid he hasn't been able to eat anything delicious for a long time there.
Xia Zhi bought a lot of things. Now the weather is hot, some things can't be kept, and there is no refrigerator at this time.
It is necessary to make some things that are easy to preserve and can be eaten for a long time.
Xia Zhi prepared to make some chili sauce, tomato sauce, kimchi and the like.
Kimchi can be made on site after arriving, but it is clear that there is no kimchi jar there.
He bought various condiments and a large piece of pork belly.
When he arrives tomorrow, it will be considered to improve Zhou Zhengan's life.
Xia Zhi actually saw someone selling soybean oil.
They have been living in the factory for the past few months, so they did not prepare so many seasonings and saved the oil coupons.
Xia Zhi thought about it and exchanged all the oil coupons for oil.
She also did not know how to make instant noodles, so don't think she is reborn and knows everything.
But noodles, fried dough twists and the like are no problem.
It's already getting hot here, and if these noodles are made into noodles, they should be ready tomorrow morning.
After all, it's only noon now, and it's not a problem to make noodles from now on and dry them until tomorrow morning.
Xia Zhi bought everything and took a carriage back to their clothing factory.
Seeing Xia Zhi carrying a lot of things into the dormitory, Liu Zhiyan was stunned.
"Xia, what are you doing? We eat in the cafeteria every day, why are you buying these?"
There is a stove in the dormitory, but the two of them have basically never used the honeycomb coal stove.
The small kitchen built outside the dormitory is clean and tidy, without even a speck of oil.
In fact, everyone is used to eating in the cafeteria, and occasionally they may need to boil some hot water when they come back at night.
Of course, some people cook dinner when they are hungry at night.
"I'm going to see Zhou Zhengan tomorrow, so prepare some food for him. Come and help me. I can't do it alone."
Xia Zhi needs someone to help.
When Liu Zhiyan heard this, she rolled up her sleeves to help and asked curiously.
"You're going to see Zhou Zhengan? Isn't Zhou Zhengan in the brigade? Why do you have to go to so much trouble?"
"Alas, you don't know that Zhou Zhengan is not in our team now. Because of me, Zhou Zhengan is now assigned to guard the boundary marker 300km away."
When Xia Zhi mentioned this, he didn't know where to start.
When Liu Zhiyan heard this, her face turned pale.
"Zhou Zhengan, actually went to guard the boundary marker?"
"What's going on?"
"Forget it, don't say it. You help first. I'll mix the noodles. You go to the noodle press room in our team and pay a dollar to have them press the noodles for me.
When you come back and hang them in our yard, I think the noodles will be ready to dry tomorrow."
There is a reason why Xia Zhi mixes the noodles herself. The noodles are mixed, and they are the product of her hands.
When Zhou Zhengan cooks them and eats them, he will naturally taste the flavor. Moreover, she added eggs and some other things to the noodles.
The noodles made in this way are more chewy and smoother.
Anyway, the dough pressed by the noodle press machine is of the same thickness.
There is no need to worry about the subsequent process. The important thing is to do the work well in the early stage.
Liu Zhiyan wanted to roll her eyes holding such a big bucket.
"Oh my God, Xia Zhi, you want to tire me to death, how much dough have you kneaded?"
"No, I have to call Liu Qianjin to come and help."
Liu Zhiyan wanted to be lazy, and immediately thought of the powerful Liu Qianjin.
Xia Zhi shook his head.
"You!"
"Don't say that I can't do it, but I can use my brain."
Liu Zhiyan smiled and ran to the boys' dormitory next door to find Liu Qianjin.
Liu Qianjin helped her carry two big buckets to the noodle press room.
Xia Zhi had already kneaded the dough for the fried dough twist.
A big pot of hot and crispy fried dough twist was fried.
It took three hours to fry all the fried dough twists.
Many people smelled the fragrance, and some came to join in the fun with a smile, but Xia Zhi didn't politely let them go.
After all, you can’t just let anyone have this fried dough twist these days.
Many people asked what Xia Zhi was doing, and Xia Zhi just smiled and said that she was going to see her fiancé tomorrow, so she brought him some more things.
Help her and Zhou Zhengan to solidify their relationship in advance.
This way, it will be difficult for comrades to come to investigate in the future, and they will slander them for having an improper relationship between men and women.
When it was dark, Liu Zhiyan and Liu Qianjin finally came back from the noodle room. The noodles were left in the room and could be taken away tomorrow morning.
There is a separate drying room in the noodle room.
Xia Zhi had packed the fried dough twist in bags.
There were no plastic bags at this time, but cloth bags.
The duck down and the outer skins of cotton and cloth brought back from their factory had words on them, but after washing them, they were sewn into bags and everyone could use them to carry things.
This year, people who were interested in investing were thrifty and these bags were very popular.
Xia Zhi naturally had a few of them, and they came in handy at this time.
He left ten fried dough twists for Liu Zhiyan and Liu Qianjin each.
Liu Zhiyan looked at the big bag of fried dough twist prepared for Zhou Zhengan with a bit of resentment.
"Xiao Xia, after all, we are sisters now. Look at you, you really value women over friends."
Xia Zhi rolled his eyes at her, said nothing, and continued to pack his things.
A bag of fried dough twists and tomorrow's noodles would probably weigh about 30 kilograms.
There were also miscellaneous things, all packed in a bag.
There was no conversation that night. Xia Zhi got up at 3 o'clock the next morning. She had to go to the noodle shop to collect the noodles first, and she had to take the bus at 4:00.
When Xia Zhi was waiting at the intersection with her bags, she saw Jiang Yifan at a glance when she waited for the car to arrive.
"Captain Jiang, why are you here?"
Jiang Yifan's eyes became softer when he saw so many things Xia Zhi had prepared in his hands.
Being so nice to Zhou Zhengan shows that Xia Zhi cares about Zhou Zhengan very much.
It's not in vain that Zhou Zhengan lost his job for Xia Zhi this time.
"I just happened to go there to exchange dam experience with the captain there, and I'll go with you on the way."
