Crossing 70: Fish in the Pond Have Good News

Chapter 357: Wild Vegetable and Bacon Buns

Inside the room, Dai Jiancun still had a kind smile on his face. He glanced at the secretary and several colleagues without hesitation, as if he did not doubt anyone. He was even in the mood to be curious about others. "Do you know Ms. Chen? This is the first time I have seen such a special beauty."

Those who were looked at by him frowned, and the secretary said righteously, "Deputy Secretary Dai, please remember your identity and don't say anything that is offensive to your dignity!"

"How can this be embarrassing? I'm just curious about the background of that beauty." Dai Jiancun crossed his arms and defended himself in a serious manner.

When the secretary heard the other party's intention during the meeting just now, he had already felt uneasy. Now Dai Jiancun was even more nervous. He stood up impatiently and said, "You are so curious. Why didn't you just ask when she was here?" How could he inquire about the identity of a young girl behind her back?

Dai Jiancun frowned slightly, looking at the ignorant secretary, wondering if this man needed a lesson again? What did I say, and why should he comment on it?

But at this juncture, he couldn't go too far. Being too blatant would easily cause the investigators to shift their attention to him. He should wait a little longer. Maybe after a while he would be able to directly beat the fallen dog.

Dai Jiancun felt much better after thinking about this. He put on a smile again and said to the others who didn't dare to leave before him, "The investigators are honored guests. We still have to take good care of them. They arrived at noon and actually solved the lunch problem by themselves. This is not okay. Next, we must take the lead in arranging all their needs, including food, clothing, housing and transportation. We must be considerate of everything."

"Okay, Secretary, don't worry, we will make sure it's arranged." A middle-aged man smiled at him flatteringly, looking like a complete lackey.

Dai Jiancun had a good idea and made corresponding arrangements for everyone. Unfortunately, the members of the investigation team were extremely strange. As soon as the meeting ended, the group of people disappeared. Only an elderly man was left, strolling down leisurely from upstairs.

Jiang Yu looked at the old man walking out of the gate and had a keen feeling that this man was not simple. She looked away and pretended that she had just glanced at him casually, then glanced at the guardhouse and thought that the round roof was really cute.

The old man watched Jiang Yu ride away on his bicycle, then started walking again, heading towards the residential area not far away.

After wandering around for a day, Jiang Yu left the commune reluctantly. The tires of his bicycle turned from the concrete road to the dirt ground and gradually became bumpy.

Jiang Yu recalled the building she had just seen in her mind. This exotic building was completely different from the ancient wooden buildings she had imitated in books before. She appreciated the exquisiteness of ancient architecture and also liked the gorgeousness of exotic architecture. She felt that she was becoming more and more interested in these buildings.

Or should I study architecture after the college entrance examination?

Jiang Yu asked herself, studying architecture is not a bad thing, but she felt that she was interested in much more than just architecture.

So what major should she study? Jiang Yu didn't know. She needed to go to more places and understand her preferences more thoroughly before she could make the most suitable choice for herself.

When we returned to the educated youth point, the sky was already filled with rosy clouds.

Jiang Yu glanced at the next door. Xue Li should have gone out today as well. The door was locked and there was no telling when he would be back.

In that case, the packed dishes can be divided into half for Wu Aiqing and the others, and the rest, together with the staple food rice, will make an exceptionally sumptuous meal.

Jiang Yu took out two plates from the cupboard, took out half of the dishes in the lunch box, and then carried them into Wu Aiqing's room. He and Xiao Xiong just started to boil water.

"You're back." Wu Aiqing looked up and saw her carrying the dishes over. "Okay, we have the main course for tonight. By the way, have you cooked? I steamed some buns stuffed with wild vegetables and bacon this afternoon. Would you like to try a few?"

Jiang Yu's eyes suddenly lit up, "Cured pork? The bacon they brought back to you last time, the one you were always reluctant to eat?" It was a specialty from Wu Aiqing's hometown. Jiang Yu had tasted it during the Chinese New Year, and he had kept the rest without using it.

"Yes, the weather is getting hot, and there are wild vegetables, so I picked some and brought them back to make dumplings. I'll give you a few. Are five enough?" Wu Aiqing took the vegetables from her hand and put them aside. Little Bear next to her had already handed her a plate.

"Take a few more, they are really delicious. I also contributed the last bit of scallops that were left." Xiong Lijin had already tasted it in the afternoon and it was delicious.

"I'll pack eight for you, and breakfast is ready too." Wu Aiqing opened the ladder cage beside him, and without paying any attention to Jiang Yu's opinion, he reached out and took eight big buns, stacked them high, and handed them to Jiang Yu. "I'm going to steam buns tomorrow. Do you want me to take some with you?"

"Yes, yes, yes. I'll give you the flour later." Jiang Yu was eager to get some of theirs because she couldn't make the steamed buns successfully because she didn't know how to make the dough properly.

Wu Aiqing nodded and agreed, asking her to be careful with the buns.

Jiang Yu directly took a warm bun and took a bite. The salty but extremely refreshing aroma instantly filled the entire nasal cavity. It was worthy of being a specialty bacon, plus the fresh and crispy wild vegetables, and the dried scallops that enhanced the flavor. It was absolutely amazing!

Jiang Yu finished one in a few bites, gave Wu Aiqing a thumbs up, and then went back to the house with a plate of big buns.

Turn on the stove, light the fire, add firewood, and add water to the pot. Jiang Yu's movements are smooth and flowing, with a hint of rhythm in his relaxation, and he is busy in an orderly manner.

Then she put the steamer on the stove and put the remaining dishes on a plate to heat them up. She took another bun and sat behind the stove, eating while watching the fire.

Soon, the educated youth site became lively again because other people who had gone to work had returned.

Wu Xiaoxiao held He Yuanchao's arm and walked weakly into the gate of the educated youth center. "I'm so tired, really so tired. I feel like my waist is not my own anymore. I have lost the feeling in that part of my waist."

"Who isn't? My hands are numb too." He Chongwen followed behind and responded.

Then Zhang Ming in front of him suddenly turned around and glared at him.

He Chongwen sneered, thinking that he was not only incomprehensible but also childish and ridiculous.

Wu Xiaoxiao also saw it, frowned at Zhang Ming, and said, "Zhang Ming, when can you pay me back? I have no money left. I want to buy some cakes and pastries so I can eat them when I'm hungry at night."

Zhang Ming's expression froze instantly, and after a while he replied, "I...I will pay you back as soon as possible, Xiaoxiao. We have known each other for many years, you know me, I will definitely not lie to you."
